Insights

Iteris, Inc. has posted strong financial results for fiscal 2024, indicating significant recovery and growth. The $172.0 million revenue signifies a 10% increase year over year. Gross margins also saw a notable rise to 37.6%, up 1,063 basis points. This suggests enhanced cost management and operational efficiency.

In terms of net new bookings, the $181.6 million figure, up 7% year over year, highlights solid demand for Iteris’ services and products. For retail investors, the company's turnaround from a $14.9 million net loss in fiscal 2023 to a $3.1 million net income in fiscal 2024 is particularly bullish. It indicates a recovery from supply chain disruptions and high raw material costs that plagued the prior year.

Another key point is the company's cash position. Cash and cash equivalents rose by $9.3 million, a 55.8% increase. This stronger liquidity position provides a buffer for future investments and expansion.

However, investors should note the increase in operating expenses, up $5.2 million or 9%. This rise, mainly due to higher litigation expenses and R&D costs, could impact future margins if not controlled.

Overall, Iteris' financial performance shows robust growth and recovery, but investors should keep an eye on operating expenses and litigation costs.

Iteris’ results show the impact of its ClearMobility Platform gaining traction in the market. The platform's ability to drive market share gains is important as it indicates Iteris is outpacing competitors in the smart mobility infrastructure market.

Looking ahead, the company's optimistic outlook, citing the positive tailwinds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, is noteworthy. This federal funding is expected to sustain long-term growth, aligning with Iteris’ Vision 2027 targets. A projected 14% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue over the next five years is ambitious yet achievable given current trends.

In the short term, the $53.3 million in net new bookings for the fourth quarter reflects a 20% increase year over year. This is a positive indicator of future revenue streams. However, the slight decline in Adjusted EBITDA margin for the upcoming first quarter due to R&D investments may concern some investors. Balancing R&D costs with maintaining healthy margins will be critical.

Retail investors should focus on the sustainability of these growth trends and how effectively Iteris can manage its expansion while keeping costs under control.

Management Commentary:

“Our fiscal 2024 full-year results demonstrate Iteris has achieved a critical inflection point,” said Joe Bergera, president and CEO of Iteris. “With the impact of COVID-19 and associated supply change disruptions in our rearview mirror, we are pleased to see the financial and operational benefits of our platform strategy reflected in four consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue and earnings growth. Likewise, we are delighted that customer adoption of our ClearMobility Platform continues to outpace market growth rates, resulting in sustained market share gains.

“Looking ahead, we believe our portfolio of smart mobility infrastructure management solutions will continue to benefit from positive tailwinds, including historic federal funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Therefore, over the long term, we continue to anticipate strong organic revenue growth consistent with our Vision 2027 targets, which assume a five-year organic revenue CAGR of approximately 14%, as well as further adjusted EBITDA margin improvement consistent with our fiscal 2027 target of adjusted EBITDA margins in the range of 16% to 19% of revenue.”

Fiscal 2025 Full Year Outlook

  • Total revenues of $188.0 million to $194.0 million, representing organic growth of 11% year over year at the mid-point of the guidance range
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 8.0% to 10.0% of revenue, representing a 150 basis points improvement at the midpoint of the guidance range (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation” below for important information)

Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Outlook

  • Total revenues of $43.5 million to $45.5 million, representing organic growth of 2% year over year at the mid-point of the guidance range due to the timing of new product introduction cycles
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 5.5% to 6.5%, representing a 324 basis points decline year over year at the midpoint of the guidance range due to anticipated investments in research and development and sales to support recent and planned new product releases (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation” below for important information)

GAAP Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 1% to $42.8 million, compared with $42.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. This growth was driven primarily by increased services revenue, in particular for consulting services and software.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter increased $2.0 million to $16.0 million, with almost half of the increase due to higher litigation expenses, and partially the result of higher research and development costs.

Net income in the fourth quarter was approximately $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $0.5 million, or $(0.01) per share, in the same quarter a year ago. The improvement was primarily attributable to the reduced negative impact on gross margins caused by supply chain constraints and the resulting high raw material costs.

GAAP Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenues in fiscal 2024 increased 10% to $172.0 million, compared with $156.1 million in fiscal 2023. This growth was driven primarily by revenue increases for our sensor products, and Services associated with our ClearMobility Platform solutions.

Operating expenses in fiscal 2024 increased 9% to $61.8 million, compared with $56.5 million in fiscal 2023, but declined 32 basis points when measured as a percentage of revenue. Approximately 54% of the $5.2 million cost increase was due to higher litigation expenses, with the remainder primarily reflecting increased sales and marketing cost and higher research and development expenses.

Net income in fiscal 2024 was approximately $3.1 million or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $14.9 million, or $(0.35) per share, in the previous year period. The improvement was primarily attributable to the reduced negative impact on gross margins caused by supply chain constraints and the resulting high raw material costs, which negatively impacted fiscal 2023 by approximately $16.0 million.

Non-GAAP Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Iteris (the “Company”) has included the following non-GAAP financial measure: net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, other legal expenses, and acquisition earnout payments (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Components of this financial measure may be adjusted from time to time to reflect specific events and circumstances as they occur. A discussion of the Company’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation,” along with a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss).

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was approximately $2.8 million, or 6.7% of total revenues, compared with approximately $1.4 million, or 3.3% of total revenues, in the same quarter a year ago. The improvement mirrors the increase in GAAP earnings as described above, except for the current year’s increase in other legal expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2024 was approximately $12.9 million, or 7.5% of total revenues, compared with approximately $6.6 million loss, or (4.2)% of total revenues in fiscal 2023. The Adjusted EBITDA improvements reflect the effect of supply chain constraints and the resulting increase in raw materials costs, which negatively impacted fiscal 2023 by approximately $16.0 million.

ITERIS, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Iteris has included the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, other legal expenses, and acquisition earnout payments (“Adjusted EBITDA”); and net income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, other legal expenses, acquisition earnout payments and the tax effect of adjustments (“Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”. Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (“Basic Adjusted EPS” and “Diluted Adjusted EPS”, collectively, “Adjusted EPS”) are calculated as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by our basic and diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding, respectively. Components of these non-GAAP financial measures may be adjusted from time to time to reflect specific events and circumstances as they occur.

When viewed with our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and accompanying reconciliations, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and the related financial ratios provide 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 tables below. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and the related financial ratios, as presented in this press release, 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 (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternative to net cash provided by (used in) 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, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and non-GAAP operating performance measures internally as complementary financial measures to evaluate the performance and trends of our businesses. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS 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, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and the related financial ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

  • They generally 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 our non-GAAP measures do 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 similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently than we do, thereby limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, 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, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and the related financial ratios only as supplemental information. See our audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-K. However, despite the above limitations, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, and the related financial ratios are 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 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 including 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 or Adjusted Net Income (Loss):

  • Income taxes. This amount may be useful to investors because it represents the taxes that might be payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes during the period, and therefore could reduce cash flow available for use in our business.
  • 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 expense. Iteris incurs amortization expense of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions. Iteris also incurs amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs. Iteris excludes these items because it does not believe that these expenses reflect our ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to investors because they represent the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights.
  • Interest income and expense. Iteris excludes interest income and expense because it does not believe this item reflects our ongoing business and operating results. This amount may be useful to investors for determining current cash flow. For Fiscal 2023 interest expense includes amortization of the remaining capitalized deferred financing costs due to the termination of the Credit Agreement. For Fiscal 2024 interest income was due to interest earned from cash held with banks.
  • 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 reflect our ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.
  • Other legal expenses. Iteris excludes legal expenses that it believes are infrequent, unusual and not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance. We do not adjust for any ordinary course legal expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, other legal expenses consist of costs related to a specific breach of contract dispute for which the Company previously expected a settlement to be reached, however, due to a change in facts and circumstances that now point to a more protracted and costly process, we included the legal costs of $1.0 million incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $2.8 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024. The matter is currently scheduled to go to trial in September 2024, so related costs will likely increase in the near term. The Company believes that the probability of an outcome resulting in a loss is remote. There were no such costs in the prior year periods.
  • Acquisition earnout payments. These expenses are a result of the TrafficCast International, Inc. acquisition in December, 2020 and are the final earnout payments per the acquisition agreement. Iteris excluded these expenses as it does not believe that these expenses reflect our ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.
  • Tax effect of adjustments. This amount represents the income tax impact of the adjustments to net income (loss), as the Company believes that its GAAP income tax expense (benefit) as reported is not representative of the income tax impact of the adjustments. The tax effect was determined by recalculating the Company’s current and deferred income tax expense after incorporating the non-GAAP adjustments listed on the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) table. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.

It is impractical to attempt to reconcile expected Adjusted EBITDA to expected GAAP net income (loss) because many of the adjustments are difficult to forecast, including stock-based compensation because it depends on the price of our stock in the future, which is difficult to predict. The following tables present a reconciliation of historical net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues, and a reconciliation of historical net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and the presentation of Adjusted EPS.
