Fourth Quarter Revenues of $31.7 Million Increased 10% Year Over Year

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ITI #IoT--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 revenue of $31.7 million, up 10% year over year
  • 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.

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;
  • 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 inve

  • Initial funding commitment aims to participate in the fast growing solar power generation sector in Brazil

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VH Global Sustainable Energy Opportunities plc (“GSEO”) – a £243m London-listed Investment company – is proud to announce a $63m commitment to fund the construction of 18 remote distributed solar generation projects across ten Brazilian states with a total capacity of 75MW. Brazil is a Key Partner of the OECD and one of the world’s fastest growing energy markets.


An initial tranche of $4m will fund the construction of four projects across Rio de Janeiro, which once operational will provide 5MW of energy to a combination of local communities and regional utilities.

The initial tranche will be followed by a second $24m tranche in June to fund up to eight projects across Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraiba, Mato Grosso do Sul, Piaui, Bahia and Para, which will provide 28MW of energy.

The remaining $35m will be deployed by August across Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Bahia and Sao Paulo to build six solar projects which will generate 42MW of power.

The fully-equity funded projects are at the ready-to-build stage and are expected to be operational in less than six months from investment. Once operational, the expected annual returns will exceed the Company’s target annual dividend yield of 5% and total return of 10%.

An independent assessment of the project, as per the process, has concluded that it is compliant with the Company’s six relevant Sustainable Development Goals – goals 3, 7, 8, 9 13 and 17 – and will do no significant harm in the context of the remaining eleven goals.

GSEO is partnering with developer Energea Global LLC, which has a proven track record in developing and operating distributed power generation assets in Brazil.

The aim of this investment is to support and accelerate the growth of a sustainable energy system in Brazil by improving and securing localised access to clean energy and helping to lower Brazilian energy prices.

The projects involve building solar PV farms to supply energy to creditworthy commercial and industrial energy users, as well as large multinational corporations with operations in Brazil. About half of the total production capacity is to be contracted with a multinational telecoms company. The lengths of the contracts will be 20 years on average and will be inflation-linked.

Approximately 37% of the net proceeds raised on IPO are currently committed to the Enhanced Pipeline Assets.

Eduardo Monteiro, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Victory Hill Capital Advisors LLP (“Victory Hill”), investment adviser to GSEO, said: “As promised to investors, this funding commitment marks the beginning of a very exciting journey for the Company in Brazil, where we can support real and lasting improvements in the country’s energy infrastructure. Brazil is experiencing rapid growth in its energy sector and there is significant potential for investors with the right expertise to help contribute to the country’s growth with cleaner and reliable sources of power.”

Mike Silvestrini, Managing Partner at Energea, said: “Brazil is one of the most exciting markets in the world when it comes to distributed generation and we are proud to have the backing of an experienced team at Victory Hill to develop further distributed solar power generation across the country. Right now, Brazil has the attractive combination of enabling policy landscape, strong energy economics and high degrees of customer adoption, marking it as a prime opportunity for investors looking to have a positive impact on the world and help battle the climate crisis.”

Notes to editors

Distributed power generation: Distributed generation refers to the use of technology such as solar panels to generate electricity near to where it will be used, serving either a single home or business, or forming part of a ‘microgrid’ tied into the larger electricity network which can be used to serve thousands of homes and businesses. Distributed generation can help support delivery of clean, reliable power to additional customers and reduce electricity losses along transmission and distribution lines and help lower energy prices.

Barriers to broader adoption include geographic restrictions, improved Li-ion battery technology, and higher upfront costs in the pricing of new projects


BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#electricity--A new report from Guidehouse Insights explores drivers for long duration energy storage and the technologies being implemented to provide long duration storage services.

Stationary energy storage is projected to play a major role in future decarbonized electricity grids around the world. Government policies, utility procurement targets, and regulatory bodies have begun to forecast greater levels of utility-scale energy storage (UES) deployments, with project sizes of larger power capacity also being planned around the world. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, North America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific are expected to account for approximately 89% of the new long duration energy storage capacity installed worldwide through 2030.

“There is little agreement on which attributes of energy storage will be required and valued over time, specifically the energy capacity or duration of energy storage that could be cost-effective for certain electricity grid services and applications,” says Ricardo Rodriguez, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Nevertheless, as plans to deploy substantial amounts of new renewable energy generation mount, future electricity grids will likely require different types of energy storage than those currently being deployed, particularly for long duration challenges and seasonal capacity challenges.”

Despite the numerous advantages of long duration energy storage technologies, actual deployments have been limited so far. Barriers to broader adoption include geographic restrictions, lack of trust in new technologies, low round-trip efficiencies, improved Li-ion battery technology, and higher upfront project costs.

The report, Market Data: Utility-Scale Long Duration Energy Storage, examines the long duration energy storage market in seven major geographic regions, presenting a 10-year forecast and market sizing from 2021 through 2030. The report provides forecasts for the long duration storage market segmented by technology, application, and discharge duration. Applications included in the forecasts consist of capacity and reserves, transmission and distribution (T&D) asset optimization, solar energy shifting, and wind energy shifting. All forecasts are also segmented by duration for each region, technology, and application. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

TAOS, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, Inc (KCEC) is installing nine additional electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the Enchanted Circle to complement KCEC's regional beneficial electrification plan for a greener, cleaner future. KCEC commends the hard work by the municipalities, tribes, governments, and Enchanted Circle COAD members to aid the transition to EVs in Northern New Mexico. Not only will EV's reduce carbon emissions, but they will also provide a new opportunity for rural communities to invest in more carbon-efficient vehicles.

The KCEC Board of Trustees unanimously approved the nine additional EV chargers to KCEC's current EV infrastructure. The future of transportation is shifting toward a carbon-free environment that relies on EV vehicles, charging stations and new cars with an extended battery range. The addition of the new stations will create opportunities for locals, tourists and businesses to invest in EVs.

"We are creating a clean environment for our communities to preserve the natural beauty of Northern NM. Creating a carbon-free climate will raise the standard for a better quality of life for our younger generations. We are investing in their future,” says CEO, Luis A. Reyes

KCEC wants to thank the Town of Taos, EC-COAD members, Renewable Taos, Taos County, Village of Red River, Village of Eagle Nest, Village of Questa, Village of Angel Fire and other critical stakeholders for their cooperation on the EV project. The participation and buy-in from these entities’ plan to introduce EVs to their fleets helps to support a regional carbon reduction footprint.

In a joint effort, KCEC is engaging with local and state stakeholders to find the desire for electrification infrastructure opportunities in our communities. Through a series of meetings, KCEC and these organizations have created a working group to address issues regarding KCEC's Beneficial Electrification Plan.

Sol Luna, a local solar installer and KCEC partner, will utilize a local labor force to install the EV charging stations in KCEC's service territory. KCEC's overall Beneficial Electrification Plan will import and introduce new economic development opportunities to the region and fill the demand for long-range electric vehicle drivers.

Once the EV Project is completed, KCEC will have 19 EV charging stations with 28 charging points for the communities to use. In May of 2020, KCEC received a New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) grant award, for $200,119, as one of 43 projects throughout the state from the Volkswagen Settlement Fund. The grant is meant to initiate an EV charging station network in the state and the Enchanted Circle.

KCEC's great partnership with its wholesale energy provider, Guzman Energy, gives KCEC the flexibility to reduce its carbon footprint while adapting to the transition of renewable energy. Guzman Energy has been a partner of KCEC since 2016 and is helping KCEC meet its goal of providing 100% daytime solar energy by 2022 through the development and commissioning of several solar arrays throughout the region.

EL PASO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As required by the Public Utility Regulatory Act and the Public Utility Commission Texas (PUC) Rules, El Paso Electric (EPE, or the Company) submitted a base rate application for its Texas customers today.


“The timing is based on the PUC’s Rules that require EPE to file a base rate review no later than four years from the final order in its last rate review, which was December 18, 2017,” stated EPE President and CEO Kelly A. Tomblin. “We are sensitive to the timing of this filing, but we must act according to the process, rules and procedures set forth by the PUC. We continue to be committed to providing safe and efficient energy to every customer, and have invested in maintaining the reliability our customers expect as we prepare for weather extremes.”

The 2021 base rate application asks the PUC to consider almost $1 billion of investments the Company has made into its generation, transmission, and distribution system. This includes the need for addressing additional growth within the service region and the necessary replacements made to infrastructure in order to ensure reliable service. If approved by the PUC, the base rate filing will result in a monthly bill increase of $11.76, or 13.36%, for an average Texas residential customer utilizing 686 kilowatt hours (kWh) .

The filing also proposes a reduction to the minimum bill for all non-grandfathered distributed generation (DG) residential and small commercial customers, from the current $30 to $24.02 and $25.19 respectively. This proposal includes the elimination of the minimum bill for those DG customers who have elected the demand charge time of day rate. Additionally, EPE is proposing to return approximately $2.5 million in excess deferred taxes to customers over the next four years. The application also introduces a new plan to support the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to ensure our region is ready for the transition to EVs.

The regulatory process can take anywhere from six months to a year to reach a final approved decision. The next step in the process will be for the PUC to assign an Administrative Law Judge and establish a procedural schedule.

About El Paso Electric

El Paso Electric is a regional electric utility providing generation, transmission, and distribution service to approximately 443,240 retail and wholesale customers in a 10,000-square mile area of the Rio Grande valley in west Texas and southern New Mexico.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cybin Inc. (NEO:CYBN) (OTCQB:CLXPF) (“Cybin” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics, today announced the sponsorship of Kernel’s feasibility study of its Kernel Flow technology to measure Ketamine’s psychedelic effect on cerebral cortex hemodynamics.


On January 11, 2021 Cybin announced that it would be partnering with Kernel to leverage Kernel’s proprietary Kernel Flow device for psychedelic-based studies and clinical trials. The Kernel Flow device is the first-of-its-kind that uses quantitative neuroimaging technology that can measure brain activity in real time using a wearable helmet during psychedelic treatments.

Kernel Flow uses pulsed light instead of continuous wave light to increase measured brain information. In contrast with electroencephalography (“EEG”) electrodes that usually require gel on the head or functional magnetic resonance imaging (“fMRI”) studies that require a participant to lie in a scanner, the Flow device is an easily wearable helmet that could in the future be more broadly used for neuroscientific or physiological studies of brain activity during psychedelic use. To date, direct neuroimaging research of psychedelic effects, in vivo, has rarely been attempted, and never with a wearable device.

"We still have much to learn about what is occurring in the brain during a psychedelic experience. This first-of-its-kind, Cybin-sponsored study, using the Kernel Flow device, aims to expand our physiological understanding of psychedelic pharmacotherapy. We are excited to be part of this pioneering journey with our partners at Kernel," stated Doug Drysdale, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin.

Psychedelics have shown great promise for mental health and wellness, and Kernel’s collaboration with Cybin has the promise of offering increased scientific rigor for their development,” stated Bryan Johnson, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Kernel.

About Cybin

Cybin is a leading biotechnology company focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics by utilizing proprietary drug discovery platforms, innovative drug delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for psychiatric disorders.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include statements regarding enhanced liquidity, the value of additional capital markets exposure, access to institutional and retail investors, the Company’s new strategic brand messaging campaign, and psychedelic drug development programs to potentially treat mental health disorders. There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and Cybin’s plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. These and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking information are based on estimates and opinions of management on the dates they are made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by this notice. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
