Iteris (ITI) 10-Q2022 Q2 Quarterly report

Iteris, Inc. (referred to collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ClearAg, Inc., and Albeck Gerken, Inc. ("AGI"), in this report as "Iteris," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us") is a provider of smart mobility infrastructure management solutions. Our solutions enable municipalities, transportation agencies, and other transportation infrastructure providers to monitor, visualize, and optimize mobility infrastructure to help ensure roads are safe, travel is efficient, and communities thrive. Additionally, we provide mobility data to automobile OEMs, media companies, insurance companies, and other commercial entities, whose products and services have a high dependency on the performance and/or condition of mobility infrastructure. As a pioneer in intelligent transportation systems ("ITS") technology, our intellectual property, products and software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offerings represent a comprehensive range of ITS solutions that we distribute to customers throughout the U.S. and internationally. We believe our products, solutions and services increase safety and decrease congestion within our communities, while also minimizing environmental impact. We continue to make significant investments to leverage our existing technologies and further expand both our advanced detection sensors and performance analytics systems in the transportation infrastructure market and we are always exploring strategic alternatives intended to optimize the value of our Company. Iteris was incorporated in Delaware in 1987 and has operated in its current form since 2004.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act provides relief to U.S. corporations through financial assistance programs and modifications to certain income tax provisions. The Company is applying certain beneficial provisions of the CARES Act, including the payroll tax deferral and the alternative minimum tax acceleration. Refer to Note 6, Income Taxes, for more information.

The Company assessed the impacts of the Pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in these assessments were based on management’s judgment and may be subject to change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the Pandemic and its resulting impact on global economic conditions. If economic conditions caused by the Pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management, the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially impacted. See below for areas that required more judgments and estimates as a result of the Pandemic. The Company will continue to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of the Pandemic and the actions implemented to combat the virus throughout the world and its assessment of the impact of the Pandemic may change.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Iteris, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting, which permit certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to be condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”), filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021 and June 7, 2021, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for Fiscal 2022 or any other periods.

As noted above, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment. The Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment’s results of operations and related cash flows have been reclassified to net income (loss) from discontinued operations, respectively, for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment have been reclassified to assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations, respectively, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, for further information.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include costs to complete long term contracts. Due to delays in the completion of a software development contract with a customer, the Company expects to modify some of the financial terms of the contract which resulted in a one-time pretax charge of $2.8 million and $3.4 million to cost of service revenues, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021.

Other significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts, projections of taxable income used to assess realizability of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves and other contingencies, indirect cost rates used in cost plus contracts, the valuation of inventories, the valuation of purchased intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of investments, estimates of future cash flows used to assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and the impairment of goodwill, and fair value of our stock option awards used to calculate stock-based compensation.

Product revenue related contracts with customers begin when we acknowledge a purchase order for a specific customer order of product to be delivered in the near term. These purchase orders are short-term in nature. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product, depending on shipping terms. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of goods as transfer of control typically occurs upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product.

Service revenues are primarily derived from long-term engineering and consulting service contracts with governmental agencies. These contracts generally include performance obligations in which control is transferred over time. We recognize revenue on fixed fee contracts, over time, using the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract performance obligation. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the proportion closely depicts the efforts or inputs completed towards the satisfaction of a fixed fee contract performance obligation. Time & Materials (“T&M”) and Cost Plus Fixed Fee (“CPFF”) contracts are considered to involve variable consideration. However, contractual performance obligations with these fee types qualify for the “Right to Invoice” practical expedient. Under this practical expedient, the Company is allowed to recognize revenue, over time, in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice. In addition, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract and reassess the estimate each reporting period. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as, upon billing, the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date.

Service revenues also consist of revenues derived from maintenance support and the use of the Company’s service platforms and APIs on a subscription basis. We generate this revenue from fees for maintenance and support, monthly active user fees, SaaS fees, and hosting and storage fees. In most cases, the subscription or transaction arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company applies a time-based measure of progress to the total transaction price, which results in ratable recognition over the term of the contract. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the customer obtains equal benefit from the service throughout the service period.

The Company accounts for individual goods and services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires significant judgment based upon knowledge of the products and/or services, the solution provided and the structure of the sales contract. In SaaS agreements, we provide a service to the customer that combines the software functionality, maintenance and hosting into a single performance obligation. In product-related contracts, a purchase order may cover different products, each constituting a separate performance obligation.

We generally estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled and in certain cases based on the expected value, which requires judgment. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We review and update these estimates on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into product revenues and services revenues.

We classify our right to consideration in exchange for goods and services as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment is due). We present such receivables in trade accounts receivable, net, in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at their net estimated realizable value.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. If warranted, the allowance is increased by the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts, which is charged against income. All recoveries on receivables previously charged off are included in income, while direct charge-offs of receivables are deducted from the allowance.

A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets are presented as unbilled accounts receivable on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For example, we would record a contract asset if we record revenue on a professional services engagement, but are not entitled to bill until we achieve specified milestones.

Our contract assets and refund liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Refund liabilities are consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.

The Company evaluates whether or not we should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered. As of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, there was approximately $0.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of contract fulfillment costs, which are presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as prepaid and

Due to delays in the completion of a software development contract with a customer, the Company recorded an estimated loss on the contract of approximately $0.6 million charged to cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company renegotiated the contract with the customer, and expects to modify some of the financial terms of the contract which would result in additional loss on the contract of approximately $2.8 million. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has recorded approximately $2.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively, charged to cost of sales, of which approximately $0.9 million related to previously capitalized software development costs and the remainder reduced the balance of the related contract fulfillment costs. The estimates and assumptions used in these assessments were based upon management's judgment and may be subject to change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. In particular, there remains uncertainty with regards to the additional costs required to fulfill the Company's obligations with regards to the contract. If the future estimated costs to fulfill this contract exceed current estimates, the Company's financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations may be materially impacted.

As of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was immaterial, primarily as a result of the termination provisions within our contracts, which make the duration of the accounting term of the contract one year or less.

Deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets is comprised of refund liabilities related to billings and consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits and money market funds maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with high quality financial institutions, and therefore are believed to have minimal credit risk.

Our accounts receivable are primarily derived from billings with customers located throughout North America, as well as in Europe and South America. We generally do not require collateral or other security from our domestic customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses, which losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

We currently have, and historically have had, a diverse customer base. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues. As of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, no individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable.

The fair value of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value because of the short period of time to maturity. Our investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less.

As of each of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, restricted cash was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, consisting of cash restricted for shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") (See Note 9, Stock-Based Compensation, for further details on the ESPP).

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows consist of the following (in thousands):

The Company’s investments are classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, in accordance with FASB ASC 320 – Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Trading securities are those securities that the Company intends to sell in the near term. All other securities not included in the held-to-maturity or trading category are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses charged to earnings. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available (see Note 5, Fair Value Measurements). The Company had no investments as of September 30, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, all of our investments were available-for-sale. Under FASB ASC 320-10-35, a security is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis (the difference being defined as the “Credit Loss”) or if the fair value of the security is less than the security’s amortized cost basis and the investor intends, or will be required, to sell the security before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. If an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of Credit Loss if the investor does not intend to sell the security, and will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes. The Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value of its investments is other-than-temporary at each quarter-end. This evaluation consists of a review by management, and includes market pricing information and maturity dates for the securities held, market and economic trends in the industry and information on the issuer’s financial condition and, if applicable, information on the guarantors’ financial condition. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which the investment’s fair value has been less than its cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and guarantors, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value.

The collectability of our accounts receivable is evaluated through review of outstanding invoices and ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. In cases where we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, we will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net recognized accounts receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. We also

Inventories consist of finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Intangible assets with determinable economic lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The Company determines the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors the Company considers when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the Company's long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions.

We perform an annual qualitative assessment of our goodwill during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently, to determine if any events or circumstances exist, such as an adverse change in business climate or a decline in overall industry demand, that would indicate that it would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, including goodwill. If events or circumstances do not indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required; if otherwise, we compare the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, if any, is recognized as an impairment loss. We monitor the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. In prior years the Company had 2 operating and reportable segments, Roadway Sensors ("RWS") and Transportation Systems ("SYS"), which also represented the reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. In conjunction with the change in segments described in Note 12, Business Segments, the Company also reassessed the reporting unit conclusion and determined that there are now 3 reporting units and a single operating and reportable segment. As of September 30, 2021, there were no indicators of goodwill impairment.

We test long-lived assets and purchased intangible assets (other than goodwill) for impairment if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We determine whether the carrying value of an asset or asset group is recoverable, based on comparisons to undiscounted expected future cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset is not recoverable, we record an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. We primarily use the income valuation approach to determine the fair value of our long-lived assets and purchased intangible assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.3 million in impairment charges related to right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements directly resulting from the restructuring activities. There were no additional restructuring charges during the six months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 4, Restructuring Activities, for further details on the restructuring activities. During the six months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $0.9 million of previously capitalized software development costs was charged to cost of sales due to the expected modification of a contract with a customer. See discussion on contract fulfillment costs for further details.

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, which increases our income tax expense in the period such determination is made. As such, as of September 30, 2021, we determined it was appropriate to record a full

Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

We record stock-based compensation in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as an expense, based on the estimated grant date fair value of our stock-based awards, whereby such fair values are amortized over the requisite service period. Our stock-based awards are currently comprised of common stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. The fair value of our common stock option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. The fair value of our performance stock unit awards is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. While the use of these models meets established requirements, the estimated fair values generated by the models may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our awards as it does not consider certain factors important to those awards to employees, such as continued employment and periodic vesting requirements, as well as limited transferability. The fair value of our restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested stock-based awards, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.

Research and development expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.

We incur repair and maintenance costs in the normal course of business. Should the repair or maintenance result in a permanent improvement to one of our leased facilities, the cost is capitalized as a leasehold improvement and amortized over its useful life or the remainder of the lease period, whichever is shorter. Non-permanent repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

The difference between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) was de minimis for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost net of an allowance for estimated credit losses such that the net receivable represents the present value of expected cash collection. In addition, this standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost reflecting an allowance for estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the assets. The estimate of credit losses must be based on all relevant information including historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the amounts. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for all entities except SEC

The following table presents details of our inventories:

As of September 30, 2021, future estimated amortization expense was as follows:

Warranty reserve is recorded as accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents activity related to the warranty reserve:

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

On May 5, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of our assets used in connection with our Agriculture and Weather Analytics business to DTN, an operating company of TBG AG, a Swiss-based holding company, pursuant to the DTN Purchase Agreement signed on May 2, 2020, in exchange for a total purchase consideration of $12.0 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. Upon closing, the Company received $10.5 million in cash, and $1.5 million of the payment was deferred. DTN paid the Company $1.45 million on the 12-month anniversary of the closing date, and $0.05 million will be paid by DTN at the 18-month anniversary of the closing date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the DTN Purchase Agreement relating to the transition of certain customers to DTN and the collection of certain receivables by DTN. The DTN Purchase Agreement also provides for customary post-closing adjustments to the purchase price related to working capital at closing. The parties also entered into certain ancillary agreements at the closing of the transaction that will provide Iteris with ongoing access to weather and pavement data that it integrates into its transportation software products, and a joint development agreement under which the parties agreed to pursue future joint opportunities in the global transportation market.

The sale of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business was a result of the Company’s shift in strategy to focus on its smart mobility infrastructure management solutions and to capitalize on the potential for a future partnership upon the sale of this business component to DTN. We have determined that the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business, which constituted one of our operating segments prior to first quarter of Fiscal 2021, qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.

On May 5, 2020, the Company also entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) with DTN, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the information technology and accounting functions of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business for a period up to 12 months and DTN agreed to provide the contract administration/account management services for certain contracts of the Company and other transition services. Either party may make any reasonable request to extend the period of time the other party shall provide a transition service beyond the initial service period or access to additional services that are necessary for the transition of the operations and business. The income and costs associated with the TSA for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, were de minimis, which were included in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The related assets and liabilities of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business were reclassified to assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations, respectively, as of March 31, 2021 on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table is a summary of major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations:

On April 30, 2020, in connection with the sale of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business, the Board approved restructuring activities to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth, and the Company incurred total restructuring charges of approximately $1.5 million, primarily resulting from a separation for certain employees who did not transition to DTN, additional positions that were eliminated to right-size the cost structure of the Company and lease impairment related to our Grand Forks, North Dakota facility.

For the six months ended September 30, 2021 the Company did not incur any restructuring or severance costs.

The following table presents the restructuring and severance costs, for the six months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2021, we did not accrue any amounts for severance and benefits related to the restructuring activities in accrued payroll and related expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our restructuring activities during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

We measure fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2, defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or prices quoted in inactive markets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management to utilize its own assumptions to provide its best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

The following tables present the Company’s financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:

The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective tax rate, based on current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur.

Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, or 11.2% and 11.4%, respectively, of pre-tax loss, as compared with an expense of approximately $0.0 million and $0.1 million, or 3.4% and 4.8%, respectively, of pre-tax income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020.

In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we review all available positive and negative evidence, including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, potential carrybacks, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. As we have experienced a cumulative pre-tax loss over the trailing three years, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, and potentially in the next few quarters, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the Pandemic. The CARES Act contains numerous income tax provisions, such as relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and the use of net operating losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. The income tax provisions of the CARES Act had an immaterial impact on our current taxes, deferred taxes, and uncertain tax positions of the Company in the year ended March 31, 2021. The CARES Act also allows for the deferral of payroll taxes, as well as the immediate refund of federal Alternative Minimum Tax credits, which had previously been made refundable over a period of four years by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company is utilizing the provision of the CARES Act allowing for the deferral of payroll taxes as of September 30, 2021.

As a provider of traffic engineering services, hardware products, software and other various solutions for the traffic industry, the Company is, and may in the future from time to time, be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. While the Company cannot accurately predict the outcome of any such litigation, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

We have various operating leases for our offices, office equipment and vehicles in the United States. These leases expire at various times through 2029. Certain lease agreements contain renewal options from 1 to 5 years, rent abatement, and escalation clauses that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate.

As a result of the restructuring activities and the sale of Agriculture and Weather Analytics business, the Company vacated the Grand Forks lease facility and has subleased the space to DTN, which expired on July 31, 2021. The Company recorded an impairment of $0.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, representing the total expected shortfall in sublease income and estimated lease buyout as compared to its required payments for the lease under the remainder of the original lease term. Sublease income was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease. The Company did not record any impairment for the six months ended September 30, 2021.

The table below presents lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:

We recorded approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million of lease costs in on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. The Company currently has no variable lease costs. The Company recorded a de minimis amount of sublease income for both the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, which was included in loss from discontinued operations on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The table below presents supplemental information related to operating leases during the six months ended September 30, 2021 (in thousands, except weighted average information):

Maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2021 were as follows:

We currently maintain 2 stock incentive plans, the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Of these plans, we may only grant future awards from the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, time-restricted stock units (“RSUs"), performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs”), cash incentive awards and other stock-based awards. At September 30, 2021, there were approximately 4,018,967 shares of common stock available for grant or issuance under the 2016 Plan. Total stock options vested and expected to vest were approximately 5.1 million as of September 30, 2021.

A summary of activity with respect to our stock options for the six months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

A summary of activity with respect to our RSUs, which entitle the holder to receive 1 share of our common stock for each RSU upon vesting, for the six months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

The Company has granted a total "target" number of 132,403 PSUs to our executive officers. Between 0% and 160% of the PSUs will be eligible to vest based on average annual performance during the three-year performance period relative to the revenues per share and cash flow from operations objectives to be established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year. In addition, the final PSU vesting based on the revenues per share and cash flow from operations performance will be subject to a modifier between .75x-1.25x based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to the Russell 2000 during the performance period, for a maximum achievement percentage of 200% of the "target" number of PSUs. The PSUs are amortized over a derived service period of 3 years. The value and the derived service period of the PSUs were estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes the details of the performance stock units:

The following table presents stock-based compensation expense that is included in each line item on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations:

We currently maintain an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which allows employees to have a percentage of their base compensation withheld to purchase the Company’s common stock at 95% of the lower of the fair market at the beginning of the offering period and on the last trading day of the offering period. There are 2 offering periods during a calendar year, which consist of the six months beginning each January 1 and July 1. Employees may contribute 1-15% of their eligible gross pay up to a $25,000 annual stock value limit. In June 2021 and June 2020, no shares were purchased for the first offering periods of Fiscal 2022 and 2021. In July 2021, 44,449 shares related to the first offering period of Fiscal 2022 were purchased. In July 2020, 41,679 shares related to the first offering period of Fiscal 2021 were purchased. The ESPP is considered a non-compensatory plan and accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded in connection with this benefit.

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company adopted the Iteris, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DC Plan"). The DC Plan consists of two plans, one that is intended to be an unfunded arrangement for eligible employees who are part of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and one for the benefit of non-employee members of our board of directors. Key employees, including our executive officers, and our non-employee directors who are notified regarding their eligibility to participate and delivered the DC Plan enrollment materials are eligible to participate in the DC Plan. Under the DC Plan, we will provide participants with the opportunity to make annual elections to defer a percentage of their eligible cash compensation and equity awards. A participant is always 100% vested in his or her own elective cash deferrals and any earnings thereon. Elective deferrals of equity awards are credited to a bookkeeping account established in the name of the participant with respect to an equivalent number of shares of our common stock, and such credited shares are subject to the same vesting conditions as are applicable to the equity award subject to the election. The Company established a rabbi trust to finance our obligations under the DC Plan with corporate-owned life insurance policies on participants.

On December 4, 2020, the Board approved the Iteris, Inc. 2020 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan”). The terms of the Inducement Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan with the exception that incentive stock options may not be granted under the Inducement Plan. The Inducement Plan was adopted by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Board initially reserved 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Inducement Plan. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, awards under the Inducement Plan may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the Board or any parent or subsidiary, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a parent or subsidiary, and only if he or she is granted such award in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary.

On August 9, 2012, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may acquire up to $3.0 million of our outstanding common stock for an unspecified length of time. Under the program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market and privately negotiated transactions and block trades, and may also repurchase shares pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan during our closed trading windows, to the extent such a 10b5-1 plan is in place. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased. We may modify or terminate the repurchase program at any time without prior notice. On November 6, 2014, the Board approved a $3.0 million increase to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may continue to acquire shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time for an unspecified length of time. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not repurchase any shares. From inception of the 2012 stock repurchase program through September 30, 2021, we repurchased approximately 2,458,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate price of approximately $4.3 million, at an average price per share of $1.73. As of September 30, 2021, all repurchased shares have been retired and resumed their status as authorized and unissued shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $1.7 million remains available for the repurchase of our common stock under our current program.

On December 7, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of TrafficCast, a privately held company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin that provides travel information technology, applications and content to media, mobile technology, automotive and public sector customers throughout North America. Under the TCI Purchase Agreement, Iteris

The aggregate acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred of $16 million in addition to liabilities assumed of $1.7 million totaled approximately $17.7 million, which consisted of the following:

The following tables summarize the purchase price allocation (in thousands) as of December 7, 2020:

The following table presents the fair values and useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired:

We are a provider of smart mobility infrastructure management solutions. Municipalities, government agencies, and other transportation infrastructure providers use our solutions to monitor, visualize, and optimize mobility infrastructure to help ensure roads are safe, travel is efficient, and communities thrive. Additionally, we provide mobility data to automobile OEMs, media companies, insurance companies, and other commercial entities, whose products and services have a high dependency on the performance and/or condition of mobility infrastructure.

Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the Pandemic on our future financial condition and results of operations, we have taken certain actions to preserve our liquidity, manage cash flow and strengthen our financial flexibility. Such actions included, reducing our discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, implementing restructuring activities with the goal of reducing payroll costs, including employee furloughs, pay freezes and pay cuts.

The Pandemic has had an impact on the Company’s human capital. While our Santa Ana facility has remained open, easing of pandemic restrictions imposed by local and state authorities have allowed a portion of our workforce to return to our various facilities while others continue to work remotely. The Company’s information technology infrastructure has proven sufficiently flexible to minimize disruptions in required duties and responsibilities. We believe that our system of internal control over financial reporting has not been fundamentally altered and that the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal controls remained materially consistent during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, we have been able to timely file financial reports. We believe we have the infrastructure to efficiently work remotely during the Pandemic. We do not expect to incur significant costs to safely reopen our facilities to all our employees.

Despite the Pandemic, we believe that the ITS industry in the US should continue to provide new opportunities for the Company although, in the near term, the pace of new opportunities emerging may be restrained and the start dates of awarded projects may be delayed. We believe that our expectations are valid and that our plans for the future continue to be based on reasonable assumptions.

On May 5, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of our assets used in connection with our Agriculture and Weather Analytics business to DTN, LLC (“DTN”), an operating company of TBG AG, a Swiss-based holding company, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement signed on May 2, 2020 (the "DTN Purchase Agreement"), in exchange for a total purchase consideration of $12.0 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. Upon closing, the Company received $10.5 million and $1.5 million of payment was deferred. DTN paid the Company $1.45 million on the 12-month anniversary of the closing date, and $0.05 million will be paid by DTN at the 18-month anniversary of the closing date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the DTN Purchase Agreement relating to the transition of certain customers to DTN and the collection of certain receivables by DTN. The DTN Purchase Agreement also provides for customary post-closing adjustments to the purchase price related to working capital at closing. The parties also entered into certain ancillary agreements at the closing of the transaction that will provide Iteris with ongoing access to weather and pavement data that it integrates into its transportation software products, and a joint development agreement under which the parties agreed to pursue future joint opportunities in the global transportation market.

The sale of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business was a result of the Company’s shift in strategy to focus on its mobility infrastructure management solutions and to capitalize on the potential for a future partnership upon the sale of this business component to DTN. We have determined that the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business, which constituted one of our operating segments prior to first quarter in Fiscal 2021, qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.

On May 5, 2020, the Company also entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) with DTN, pursuant to which the Company agreed to support the information technology and accounting functions of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics business for a period up to 12 months and DTN agreed to provide the contract administration/account management services for certain contracts of the Company and other transition services. Either party may make any reasonable request to extend the period of time the other party shall provide a transition service beyond the initial service period or access to additional services that are necessary for the transition of the business operations. The income and costs associated with the TSA for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, were de minimis, which were included in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On December 6, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “TCI Purchase Agreement”) with TrafficCast International, Inc. (“TrafficCast”), a privately held company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin that provides travel information technology, applications and content to customers throughout North America in the media, mobile technology, automotive and public sectors. Under the TCI Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from TrafficCast substantially all of its assets, composed of its travel information technology, applications and content (the “Business”). The transaction closed on December 7, 2020.

TrafficCast operates two lines of business – commercial and public sector – each of which contributes about 50% of total revenue. Its commercial line of business develops software that collects, filters, and models real-time traveler information and traffic incident data for global media companies and other commercial customers. Its public sector line of business provides sensors and related software that help state and local agencies measure, visualize, and manage traffic flow. Since its integration in early Fiscal 2022, TrafficCast’s market-leading software and IoT devices, as well as its data ingestion, data science and analytics solutions, has enhanced Iteris’ suite of smart mobility infrastructure management solutions.

Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and project loss reserves (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was approximately $2.3 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to approximately $2.0 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), 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 and the related financial ratios have 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:

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q. However, in spite of the above limitations, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios are useful to an investor in evaluating our results of operations because these measures:

The following financial items have been added back to or subtracted from our net income when calculating Adjusted EBITDA:

Reconciliations of net income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA and the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues were as follows:

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, the collectability of accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts, projections of taxable income used to assess realizability of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves and other contingencies, costs to complete long-term contracts, indirect cost rates used in cost plus contracts, the valuation of inventories, the valuation of purchased intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of investments, estimates of future cash flows used to assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and the impairment of goodwill, and fair value of our stock option awards used to calculate stock-based compensation. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions by their nature involve risks and uncertainties, and may prove to be inaccurate. In the event that any of our estimates or assumptions are inaccurate in any material respect, it could have a material adverse effect on our reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
