SAINT PAUL, Minn., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Image Sensing
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISNS), announced today the results for its
first quarter ended March 31, 2009. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050512/CGISSLOGO) Net income
for the first quarter was $261,000 ($.06 per diluted share)
compared to $1.1 million ($.26 per diluted share) for the same
period in 2008. Revenue for the first quarter was $4.8 million
compared to $5.9 million for the same period a year ago. Royalties
were $2.3 million compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of
2008. North American sales, which are sales of RTMS(R) in North
America, were $1.3 million compared to $1.6 million for the period
a year ago. International sales, which include both Autoscope(R)
and RTMS sales outside of North America, were $1.2 million in the
first quarter, compared to $1.4 million in last year's first
quarter. Sales of RTMS worldwide for the quarter were $1.5 million
as compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2008. On a
non-GAAP basis, excluding intangible asset amortization net of tax,
net income for the first quarter was $388,000 ($.10 per diluted
share) compared to $1.2 million ($.29 per diluted share) in first
quarter of 2008 and operating income was $607,000 compared to $1.7
million in 2008. Ken Aubrey, CEO, said, "Our results reflect both
the effect that the worldwide recession is having on governmental
entities and the impact of our strong fourth quarter of 2008 during
which we believe some business was accelerated to the detriment of
the first quarter of 2009, especially by our North American
Autoscope partner, Econolite Control Products, Inc. While we can't
predict the term of the downward trend that we ascribe to the
recession, we expect that our second quarter of 2009 will also
trail last year's second quarter results. We are hoping that the
various worldwide government stimulus packages will affect us
positively in the second half of 2009. We have seen some signs of
this already in North America. "We are not hesitating, however, in
our plans. While we have firmly managed expenses below fourth
quarter of 2008 levels, we are actively pushing forward on our
engineering program and sales and marketing expansion in Eastern
Europe and Asia. In engineering, we are focused on reducing
manufacturing costs, giving us a path to both short-term and
long-term benefits on margins as well as an entree into some
markets we currently don't serve, and on improved product
performance. We believe we should use our financial strength in
this recessionary time to take market share and position ourselves
to be further ahead of the competition when a recovery is at hand."
"Owing to the unpredictable duration of the current recession, we
will keep an eye towards delaying investments other than for the
aforementioned key plans. Additionally, the executive group
recommended that it not receive any salary increases in 2009 and
our Board has accepted the recommendation. This is a measure of our
commitment to spend wisely through the downturn," continued Mr.
Aubrey. Non-GAAP Information We provide certain non-GAAP financial
information as supplemental information to GAAP amounts. This
non-GAAP information excludes the impact, net of tax, of amortizing
the intangible assets from the EIS asset purchase. Management
believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our
current operating results to historical operating results.
Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term
and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP
information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not
be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial
measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled
measures used by other companies. About Image Sensing Image Sensing
