Iteris Reports Record Revenue and Backlog for Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021

SANTA ANA, Calif. – June 1, 2021 – Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in smart mobility infrastructure management, today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2021. During the fiscal first quarter 2021, the company completed the sale of its Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment to DTN, LLC. The results of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this release. During the fiscal third quarter 2021, the company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of TrafficCast International, Inc. (TrafficCast).
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

•Record total ending backlog of $78 million, up 26% year over year
•GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per share, a $1.6 million, or $0.04 per share, improvement year over year
•Adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million, a $0.8 million decrease year over year
Fiscal Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights
•Record total revenue of $117.1 million, up 9% year over year
•GAAP net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, a $2.2 million, or $0.05 per share, improvement year over year
•Adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 million, a $3.3 million, or 79%, increase year over year
•Acquisition of TrafficCast on December 7, 2020
Fiscal Full Year 2022 Outlook
• Total revenue of $132.0 million to $142.0 million, which would represent growth of 22% year over year at the high end of our guidance range
• Adjusted EBITDA of 7% to 8% of full fiscal year 2022 revenue, which would represent growth of 27% year over year at the high end of our guidance range
Management Commentary:
“Our record fourth quarter revenue is a nice capstone to a solid fiscal year ending March 31, 2021,” said Joe Bergera, president and CEO of Iteris. “Despite the challenges of COVID-19, our ClearMobility strategy demonstrated measurable operating leverage with 9% revenue growth translating to significant improvements in fiscal 2021 net income, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations. Additionally, we made good progress delivering against our ClearMobility roadmap, and the successful acquisition and integration of TrafficCast accelerated the development of Iteris’ ClearMobility Cloud.
“Based on our product roadmap and record total ending backlog as we enter fiscal 2022, we expect to gain additional share of the smart mobility infrastructure management market, which remains vibrant due to the need for cities and states to upgrade aging infrastructure and the desire of various commercial entities for better insight into the infrastructure they depend upon. Therefore, in fiscal 2022, we anticipate an acceleration in year-over-year revenue growth with significant improvements in net income and adjusted EBITDA, even without any potential upside from a possible national infrastructure investment program.”
GAAP Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 10% to $31.7 million, compared with $28.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. This revenue increase was driven primarily by a 19% increase in Roadway Sensors and a 3% increase in Transportation Systems.
Page 1 of 8
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter increased 14% to $13.4 million, compared with $11.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. This increase was primarily due to expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets and other operating expenses as a result of the acquisition of TrafficCast, and an increase in research and development expenses.
Operating loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was approximately $0.4 million, which included approximately $0.1 million of acquisition-related expenses and $0.1 million of a fair value inventory adjustment related to the TrafficCast acquisition, compared with an operating income from continuing operations of approximately $1.0 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was approximately $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per share, compared with a net income of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.03 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
GAAP Fiscal Full Year 2021 Financial Results
Total revenue in fiscal 2021 increased 9% to $117.1 million, compared with $107.4 million in fiscal 2020. This revenue increase was driven primarily by a 15% increase in Roadway Sensors and a 4% increase in Transportation Systems.
Operating expenses in fiscal 2021 increased 1% to $46.4 million, compared with $45.7 million in fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily due to expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets and acquisition costs related to the TrafficCast acquisition, and an increase in research and development expenses.
Operating income from continuing operations in fiscal 2021 was approximately $0.4 million, compared with an operating loss from continuing operations of approximately $2.1 million in the previous year period. Net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2021 was approximately $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $1.8 million, or $0.04 per share, in the previous year period.
Non-GAAP Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the company has included the following non-GAAP financial measure: Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, executive severance and transition costs and opening inventory fair value adjustment (“Adjusted EBITDA”). A discussion of the company’s use of this non-GAAP financial measure is set forth below in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation.”
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was approximately $1.8 million, or 5.5% of total revenues, compared with approximately $2.5 million, or 8.7% of total revenues, in the same quarter a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2021 was approximately $7.5 million, or 6.4% of total revenues, compared with approximately $4.2 million, or 3.9% of total revenues in fiscal 2020.

ITERIS, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, the company has included the following non-GAAP financial measure in this release: Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”).
When viewed with our financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and accompanying reconciliations, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to clarify and enhance the understanding of the factors and trends affecting our past performance and future prospects. We define these measures, explain how they are calculated and provide reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”), are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. They are not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as measures of our liquidity. The presentation of these measures should not be interpreted to mean that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
We use Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP operating performance measures internally as complementary financial measures to evaluate the performance and trends of our businesses. We present Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as applicable, because we believe that measures such as these provide useful information with respect to our ability to meet our operating commitments.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
•They do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
•They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
•They do not reflect the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters unrelated to our ongoing operations; and
•Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, whereby limiting its usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information. See our audited consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-K. However, in spite of the above limitations, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our results of operations because these measures:
•Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
•Help investors to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating performance; and
•Are used by our management team for various other purposes in presentations to our Board of Directors as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
The following financial items have been added back to or subtracted from our net income (loss) when calculating Adjusted EBITDA:
•Interest expense. Iteris excludes interest expense because it does not believe this item is reflective of ongoing business and operating results. This amount may be useful to investors for determining current cash flow;
•Income tax. This amount may be useful to investors because it represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes during the period, and may reduce cash flow available for use in our business;
Page 7 of 8
•Depreciation expense. Iteris excludes depreciation expense primarily because it is a non-cash expense. These amounts may be useful to investors because it generally represents the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations;
•Amortization. Iteris incurs amortization of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions. Iteris also incurs amortization related to capitalized software development costs. Iteris excludes these items because it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to investors because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights;
•Stock-based compensation. These expenses consist primarily of expenses from employee and director equity based compensation plans Iteris excludes stock-based compensation primarily because they are non-cash expenses and Iteris believes that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of stock-based compensation to its results of operations and current cash flow;
•Restructuring charges. These expenses consist primarily of employee separation expenses, facility termination costs, and other expenses associated with Company restructuring activities. Iteris excludes these expenses as it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance;
•Acquisition costs. In connection with its business combinations, Iteris incurs professional service fees, changes to the fair value of contingent consideration, and other direct expenses. Iteris excludes such items as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of Iteris’ business. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance..
•Executive severance and transition costs. Iteris excludes executive severance and transition costs because it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance;
•Fair value adjustment related to acquired opening balance inventories. Iteris excludes fair value adjustment related to the opening inventory balance acquired as part of its business combination because it does not believe that these costs are reflective of operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.
