SAINT PAUL, Minn., Aug. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISNS) today announced results for its second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2017.
Second-Quarter Results:
Image Sensing Systems' (ISS) 2017 second quarter revenue was $3.5 million, compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. Gross margin from the second quarter of 2017 was 77 percent, a 2 percent decrease from a gross margin of 79 percent for the same period in 2016. The decrease in the gross margin percent was primarily the result of the amortization of software development costs related to the Autoscope Vision product released in the fourth quarter of 2016. Revenue from royalties was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, a 22 percent decline.
Product sales decreased to $1.6 million in the quarter, a 30 percent decrease from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in product sales resulted from lower than expected sales into the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. Autoscope video product sales and royalties were $368,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, and RTMS radar product sales were $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Product sales gross margin for the second quarter of 2017 was 57 percent, a 1 percent decrease from the same period in 2016.
The Company’s net income in the second quarter was $323,000, or $0.06 per basic share, compared to a net income of $1.2 million, or $0.24 per basic share, in the prior year period. The second quarter 2017 net income includes operating expenses of $2.4 million, a 5 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2016. During the second quarter of 2017, ISS capitalized $392,000 of internal software development costs compared to $523,000 in prior year period.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding intangible asset amortization, depreciation, and restructuring charges for the applicable periods, operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $445,000 compared to an operating income of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Year-to-Date Results:
ISS’s revenue for the first half of 2017 was $6.6 million, a 17 percent decrease from revenue of $7.9 million in the first half of 2016. Sales gross margin for the first six-months of 2017 was 78 percent, a 2 percent increase from the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was the result of a higher percentage of revenue from royalties, improved product sales gross margin, and a decrease in the warranty reserve recorded in the first six-months of 2017. Revenue from royalties was $3.5 million in the first six-months of 2017, compared to $4.0 million in the same period in 2016, a 12 percent decline. Product sales were $3.1 million in the first half of 2017, a 22 percent decrease from $3.9 million in the first half of 2016.
The first six-months of revenue for 2017 included Autoscope Video product sales and royalties of $628,000 and $3.5 million, respectively, and RTMS Radar product sales of $2.4 million. Product sales gross margin for the first six-months of 2017 was 59 percent, a 7 percent increase from the same period in the prior year.
The Company’s net income for the first six-months of 2017 was $520,000, or $0.10 per basic share, compared to a net income of $901,000, or $0.18 per basic share, in the first six-months of 2016. The first six-months of 2017 net income includes operating expenses of $4.6 million, a 10 percent decrease from the same period in 2016. During the first half of 2017, we capitalized $566,000 of software development costs, compared to $1.1 million in the first half of 2016. Cash flow in the first half of 2017 improved to a positive $1.1 million, compared to a negative cash flow of $1.7 million in the first half of 2016.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding intangible asset amortization, depreciation, and restructuring charges for the applicable periods, operating income for the first half of 2017 was $798,000 compared to an operating income of $1.2 million in the first half of 2016.
"The soft second quarter royalty reflects a decrease in Autoscope Vision sales as the early adopters deployed and are evaluating the product prior to larger scale deployments," said Chad Stelzig, CEO for ISS. "We have been closely tracking any installation issues and are working with our partner Econolite to address customer concerns as they arise."
"Econolite recently announced the award of a 300-intersection traffic signal upgrade program in Miami-Dade County that will include Autoscope Encore video sensors," said Chad Stelzig. "The Autoscope sensors will provide the vehicle detection information required to accomplish adaptive signal control along 12 congestion management corridors. It is exciting to see Autoscope recognized as a core component to an infrastructure modernization project that will help reduce congestion, travel time, and emissions," concluded Mr. Stelzig.
