November 7, 2017 4:05 PM

Severe Weather Disrupted Operations in Strategic Markets

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for transportation and agriculture, today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

Fiscal First Half 2018 Financial Highlights

Management commentary:

“We are encouraged to report continued growth across all of our business segments despite the unprecedented destruction that Hurricanes Harvey and Irma inflicted on two of our most strategic markets – Texas and Florida,” said Joe Bergera, president and CEO. “During the quarter, we not only experienced a variety of project delays but we also redeployed field personnel to assist with emergency relief. The region’s recovery now seems well underway and we expect our business to normalize over the second half of our fiscal year.”

“We are excited about our business outlook. Notwithstanding recent events, the fundamentals for both the smart transportation and digital agriculture markets remain positive. We will continue to improve execution across our traditional lines of business, while we also introduce business model innovations to enhance the long-term financial characteristics of our enterprise.”

Fiscal Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased 5% to a record $25.2 million, compared with $24.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. This growth was driven by a 6% increase in Transportation Systems, a 3% increase in Roadway Sensors, and to a lesser extent, a 7% increase in Agriculture and Weather Analytics revenues.

Operating expenses in the second quarter were $11.1 million, compared with $9.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of planned headcount increases in general and administrative positions, as well as increases in the Transportation Systems and Roadway Sensors salesforce headcount, all of which resulted in higher salary and personnel-related costs.

Operating loss in the second quarter was $1.1 million, compared with an operating loss of approximately $185,000 in the same quarter a year ago. Net loss in the second quarter was approximately $984,000 or ($0.03) per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $40,000 or ($0.00) per share in the year-ago quarter.
