Recent Developments
COVID-19 Update

The World Health Organization determined that COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”)no longer fits the definition of a public health emergency and the U.S. government announced that the declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19 expired on May 11, 2023. Although COVID-19 has materiallyentered an endemic stage, the continuing impacts of COVID-19 remain and are expected to continue to remain as a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future period and COVID-19 (or other future pandemics) may continue to adversely impactedaffect the global economic conditions. More than 27 months into the Pandemic, COVID-19 continues to have an unpredictable and unprecedented impact on the global economy. Despite increasing availability of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions, infection rates continue to fluctuate and federal, state and local government requirements are likely to remain fluid. The uncertainties caused by the Pandemic include, but are not limited to,conditions, including possible additional supply chain disruptions, workplace dislocations, economic contraction, and downwardnegative pressure on some customer budgets and customer sentiment in general. We have not had any facility closures due to the Pandemic, but we have experienced supply chain and work delays on certain projects. Should such delays continue or worsen or should longer-term budgets or priorities of our clients be impacted, the Pandemic could further negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent of the impact of the Pandemic on our business and financial results, and the volatility of our stock price will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the Pandemic, new and potentially more contagious variants, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, the impact on capital and financial markets, the distribution, rate of adoption and efficacy of vaccines, and the related impact on the budgets and financial circumstances of our customers and suppliers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated as of the date of this report.sentiment.
Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the PandemicCOVID-19 on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations, we have taken certainand may continue to identify and execute various actions to preserve our liquidity, manage cash flow and strengthen our financial flexibility. Such actions include, but are not limited to, reducing our discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, and implementing restructuring activities. Refer toactivities (see Note 3, Restructuring Activities, to the Financial Statements for more information.information).

Our products require specialized parts, some of which have becomebecame more difficult to source.source during the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, we have had to purchase such parts from third-party brokers at substantially higher prices. Additionally, to mitigate for component shortages, we have increased inventory levels. In the event demand doesn't materialize, we would need to hold excess inventory for several quarters. Alternatively, we may be unable to source sufficient components at any price, even from third-party brokers, to meet customer demand, resulting in high levels of unshippable backlog. We have placed non-cancellable inventory orders for certain products in advance of our normal lead times to secure normal and incremental future supply and capacity and may need to continue to do so in the future. The Company increased inventory by approximately $4.9 million during the six months ended September 30, 2022 which was a planned increase in inventory as part of the Company's supply chain strategy. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, inventory decreased from June 30, 2022 by a net $0.5 million and we had working capital of approximately $26.0 million as of September 30, 2022. The cash flow used in operating activities of our continuing operations was approximately $13.6 million which was primarily driven by the planned increase in inventory and the re-design of certain circuit boards as part of the Company’s supply chain strategy to help assure the Company has product and raw materials to satisfy customer demand, and the net operating loss as a result of higher inventory component costs related to the global supply chain constraints. The Company's tactics to mitigate the current global supply chain issues included re-designing certain circuit boards to accommodate computer chips that are more readily available in the market at more reasonable prices, and by accumulating inventory in the first two quarters of the fiscal year 2023. ended March 31, 2023 ("Fiscal 2023"). We also placed non-cancellable inventory orders for certain products in advance of our normal lead times to secure normal and incremental future supply and capacity.

The increase in inventory purchases and in particular components purchased in the secondary markets will bewas curtailed in the second half of Fiscal 2023, and the Company currently does not expect to continue to accumulate inventory, in the same

If such efforts are not successful forCompany encounters additional supply chain constraints again in the foreseeable future, the Companyit may need to further adjust its operations to havemaintain sufficient liquidity.
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 5, Income Taxes, for more information.
The Pandemic has had an impact on the Company’s human capital. While our Santa Ana product and commercial operations facility has remained open throughout the Pandemic, easing of Pandemic restrictions imposed by local and state authorities have allowed a larger 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. 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.
The Company assessed the impacts of the Pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our unaudited condensed financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in our 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. 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. As a result, our assessment of the impact of the Pandemic may change.
Restructuring Activities
To help offset recent increases in supply chain costs in Fiscal 2023, on May 12, 2022, the Board of Directors of Iteris, Inc. approved additional restructuring activities to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, theThe Company incurred approximately $0.7 million related to employee separation costs in relation to these activities, which were included in restructuring charges on the unaudited condensed statement of operations. The Company did not incur any separation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Refer to Note 3, Restructuring Activities, for more information.
Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”),2023, filed with the SEC on June 1, 2022.29, 2023. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 ("Fiscal 20232024") or any other future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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. Other significantSignificant estimates made in the preparation of the financial statements include, but are not limited to, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets; estimates of future cash flows used to assess the recoverability of the impairment of goodwill; collectability of accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts,receivable; projections of taxable income used to assess realizability of deferred tax assets,assets; warranty reserves and other contingencies,reserves; costs to complete long-term contracts,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, andcontracts; fair value of our stock option awards usedand equity instruments; capitalization and estimated useful life of the Company's internal-use software development costs. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under current circumstances. However, future events are subject to calculate stock-based compensation.change and best estimates and judgments may require further adjustments, therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and they are adjusted prospectively based upon such evaluation.

Revenue Recognition
6

TableThe Company recognizes revenues when control of Contents
the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We generate all of our revenue from contracts with customers, ranging from purchase orders to multi-year agreements. 
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 generally 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 consist of revenues derived from maintenance support contracts and subscription agreements for the use of the Company’s service platforms and Application Programming Interfaces ("API's") 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.
Service revenues are also derived from long-term engineering and consulting service contracts, primarily with governmental agencies. These contracts generally include performance obligations in which control is transferred over time. We
6

Table of Contents
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.
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:

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into product revenues and servicesservice revenues.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances
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
7

Table of Contents
present such receivables in trade accounts receivable, net, in our unaudited condensed 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. The Company estimates allowances for expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable and contract assets as required by the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model, as per Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). 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 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.
Contract Fulfillment Costs
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. AsThere were approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million of contract fulfillment costs as of September 30, 20222023 and March 31, 2022, there was approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million,2023, respectively, of contract fulfillment costs, which are presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets as prepaid and other current assets.expense. These costs primarily relate to the satisfaction of performance obligations related to the set-up of SaaS platforms. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the SaaS platform.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 20222023 and March 31, 2022,2023, 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.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
T&M and CPFF contracts are considered variable consideration. However, performance obligations with an underlying fee type of T&M or CPFF qualify for the "Right to Invoice" Practical Expedient under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606-10-55-18. Under this practical expedient, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract or reassess the estimate each reporting period.
The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-50-14 of not disclosing information about its remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration (i.e., contract term, determined based on the analysis of termination provisions described above) of 12 months or less.
The Company pays sales commissions on certain sales contracts. These costs are accrued in the same period that the revenues are recorded. Using the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, and not a promised service (a revenue element). Shipping and handling costs are included as cost of revenues in the period during which the products ship.
The Company excludes from the transaction price all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority and that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes). This employs the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-2A. Sales taxes are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying statements of operations.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets is comprised of refund liabilities related to billings and consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
8

Table of Contents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits and money market funds maintained with severaltwo 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. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $20.1 million of deposits at financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Our accounts receivable are primarily derived from billings with customers located throughout North America, as well as in Europe, the Middle East 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 periodsmonths ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, no individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues. As of September 30, 2022, one individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable, with a balance comprising 14.1% of our total accounts receivable. As of2023 and March 31, 2022,2023, no individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The accounting guidance provided in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements for 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 onprovides a recurring basis.
The framework for measuring fair value, and related disclosure requirements aboutclarifies the definition of fair value, measurements are provided in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). This pronouncement definesand expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability(an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants onat the measurementreporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820 contains three levels as follows:
Level 1—QuotedUnadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’smanagement's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assetassets or liability.liabilities.
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial instruments on a recurring basis. The Company's financial instruments, which include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at their carrying amounts, which approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. All marketable securities are considered to be available-for-sale and recorded at their estimated fair values. In valuing these items, the Company uses inputs and assumptions that market participants would use to determine their fair value, utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We record accounts receivable net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is established in accordance with the CECL model. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company's assessment of its ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. The collectability of our accounts receivable is evaluated through review of outstanding invoices and ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’customers' financial condition. In cases where we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’scustomer'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

When we determineexperience, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accounts receivables with similar risk characteristics are evaluated collectively and accounts receivables that collectiondo not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually. Risk characteristics relevant to the Company’s accounts receivable include account balance and aging status. Adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded through bad debt expense, which is not likely, we writeincluded in operating expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts.when it determines that the balance is uncollectible and collection of the receivable is no longer being actively pursued.

Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life ranging from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
Intangible Assets
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. FactorsWhen determining useful life, 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.

Capitalized Software Development Cost

The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop software for internal use in accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Internal Use Software (“ASC 350-40”). Under ASC 350-40, the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs of software configuration and interface design, coding, installation and testing are required to be capitalized. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use software are expensed as incurred and included in research and development in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Table of Contents
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and Long-Lived Assetsis tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In the valuation of goodwill, management must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows to be derived from the Company's business. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment for these assets.
The Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. However, the Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment tests. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. We perform an annual qualitativequantitative 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.required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’sunit'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 yearsDuring the Company had two operating and reportable segments, Roadway Sensors ("RWS") and Transportation Systems ("SYS"), which also represented the reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. In Fiscal 2021, in conjunction with the re-organization as described in Note 10, Business Segments, the Company also reassessed the reporting unit conclusion and determined that there are three reporting units and a single operating and reportable segment. As ofsix months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there werewas no indicators of goodwill impairment.
We testImpairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and purchased intangible assets (other than goodwill) for impairment if we believe indicatorswhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of impairment exist.an asset may not be recoverable. 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 useDuring the income valuation approachsix months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no impairment to determine the fair value of our long-lived assets and purchased intangible assets.
Income Taxes
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, 2022,2023, we determined it was appropriate to record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We will continuously reassess the appropriateness of maintaining a valuation allowance.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation in our unaudited condensed 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.

Warranty
We generally provide a one- to three-year warranty from the original invoice date on all products, materials and workmanship. Products sold to various original equipment manufacturer customers sometimes carry longer warranties. Defective products will be either repaired or replaced, usually at our option, upon meeting certain criteria. We accrue a provision for the estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties relating to a product as a component of cost of sales at the time revenue for that product is recognized. The accrued warranty reserve is included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets. We do not provide any service-type warranties.
Repair and Maintenance Costs
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.
Loss Contingencies
We are subject to legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes a liability for a contingency when it is probable that liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. When a range of probable loss can be estimated, the Company accrues the most likely amount of such loss at no less than the minimum of the range. The Company expenses legal defense costs as incurred.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The difference between net income (loss) and comprehensiveNet income (loss) was de minimisthe same as comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended September 30, 20222023 and September 30, 2021.2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)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 defersdeferred the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for all entities except SEC reporting companies that are not smaller reporting companies. We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of adoptingAs a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 is now effective for our Fiscal 2024. The Company adopted the standard with an immaterial expected credit loss and no adjustment to the opening balance.
Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and as similarly disclosed in the Company’s annual financial statements for Fiscal 2023, we identified misstatements in unbilled accounts receivable and deferred revenue related to contract activity prior to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. Such misstatements relate to balances for contract assets and refund liabilities we determined should have previously been eliminated based on our unaudited condenseda combination of contract age and cessation of activity associated with certain contracts.

The Company determined the effect of the misstatements were not material to the previously issued financial statements. We determined to restate the accompanying condensed statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended September 30, 2022 to correct for this matter, which resulted in an increase to accumulated deficit of $1.6 million and decrease in total stockholders’ equity of $1.6 million as of September 30, 2022 from amounts previously reported of $(126,361) and $65,479, respectively.

Because these corrections occurred at a time preceding the periods presented herein, all corrections were limited to the condensed statement of stockholders’ equity.

4.Fair Value Measurements
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. FairAs described in more detail in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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.

We did not have any material financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 20222023 or March 31, 2022.2023. Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally when there is a transaction involving those assets such as a purchase transaction, a business combination or an adjustment for impairment. As a result of the re-organization completed in April 2021, as discussed in Note 10, Business Segments, the Company reallocated goodwill to the three new reporting units. No non-financial assets were measured at fair value at September 30, 20222023 and March 31, 2022.2023.
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:

Unrealized losses related to investments are due to interest rate fluctuations as opposed to credit quality. In addition, we do not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that, we would be required to sell, any of our investments before recovery of their cost basis. As a result, there was no other-than-temporary impairment for these investments as of September 30, 2022.2023.
5.Income Taxes
The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective tax rate, based on the 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.

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 experiencedWe previously recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets due to our cumulative pre-tax loss over the trailing three years,losses, and 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. 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 release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.
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, 2022. 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, 2022.

the matter described below, the Company is not a party to any legal dispute, proceeding or litigation, the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, unaudited condensed results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company agreed to accept a $1.0 million return of inventory sold by the Company during Fiscal 2023, at the request of a prime contractor and related to a project that has been delayed. The Company is a subcontractor to the prime contractor on the delayed project, and there currently are no known issues with the product, nor is there currently any contention that there are issues with the product. Up to mid-July 2023 the Company believed the probability of the occurrence of a loss associated with this matter was remote. After meeting with the prime contractor beginning in mid-July 2023, the Company agreed to reassess the situation and agreed on August 7, 2023, to accept the inventory return. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a pretax loss contingency of $0.2 million, comprised of $1.0 million in accrued liabilities representing the sale value of the inventory and $0.8 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets representing the estimated value of the inventory to be returned in the future. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the inventory was returned, and the accrued liability was paid. As of September 30, 2023, there were no outstanding contingencies related to this inventory.

The CompanyBoard has granted a total "target" number of 219,501approved PSUs to our executive officers.officers and certain Vice Presidents. 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 duringfor the span of the full three-year performance period, forwith a maximum achievement percentage of 200% of the "target" number of PSUs. The PSUs are amortized over a derived service period of 3three years. The value and the derived service period of the PSUs were estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.42.5 years for stock options, 2.81.7 years for RSUs and 1.82.1 years for PSUs. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested awards, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the extent that we grant additional stock options, RSUs or other stock-based awards.
Other Stock-Based Compensation Plans
We currently maintain an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) whichthat 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 two 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 $0.03 million annual stock value limit. In July 2023, 92,097 shares related to the first offering period of Fiscal 2024 were purchased. In July 2022, 84,426 shares related to the first offering period of Fiscal 2023 were purchased. In July 2021, 44,449 shares related to the first offering period of Fiscal 2022 were purchased. The ESPP is considered a non-compensatory plan and accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded in connection with this benefit.
Deferred Compensation Plan
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, and the assets held within this trust are subject to the claims of the Company's creditors. The assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair value, which represents their respective amortized cost values plus any unrealized gains or losses. Refer to Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for further detail on the DC plan.Plan.
9.Stock Repurchase Program
On August 9, 2012, the Board approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we could acquire up to $3.0 million of our outstanding common stock for an unspecified length of time. Under the program, we could repurchase shares from time to time in the open market and privately negotiated transactions and block trades, and could also repurchase shares pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan during our closed trading windows.

10.Business Segments
In Fiscal 2021, the Company underwent a re-organization that was completed in April 2021. The purpose of this was to align the Company’s organization structure with its singular goal of providing best-in-class smart mobility infrastructure management solutions to the marketplace. As a result of the re-organization, the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who is our Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company's results on a consolidated basis and our financial results are presented under a single reporting segment in order to provide the most accurate representation of the Company's performance.

11.Long-Term Debt

On January 25, 2022, Iteris, Inc., entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Capital One, National Association, as agent.

The Credit Agreement provided for a $20 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of January 24, 2026. In addition, the Company had the ability from time to time to increase the revolving commitments up to an additional aggregate amount not to exceed $40 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and certain conditions precedent. The Credit Agreement that evidenced the facility contained customary representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default. The Credit Agreement was collateralized by substantially all of our property and assets, including intellectual property. The Credit Agreement also contained certain restrictions and covenants that required the Company to maintain, on an ongoing basis, (i) a leverage ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00. The leverage ratio also determined the applicable interest rate under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility accrued interest at a rate equal to either Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a specified base rate, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins ranged from 2.00% to 2.80% per annum for SOFR loans and 1.00% to 1.80% per annum for base rate loans. The revolving credit facility was subject to a commitment fee payable on the unused revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, that was dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio.

On September 12, 2022, the Company voluntarily terminated the Credit Agreement and expensed the remaining capitalized deferred financing costs. The Company had not borrowed against the Credit Agreement since its inception, but the Company continued to incur customary fees thereunder prior to this termination. In connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement, all liens securing such obligations and guarantees of such obligations were released. Amortization of the deferred financing costs and commitment fees on the unused revolving credit facility commitments of $0.3 million are included in Interest Income (Expense)interest income (expense), net on the unaudited condensed statement of operations. As of September 30, 2022,2023, no amounts of capitalized deferred financing costs remained.

Recent Developments
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The World Health Organization determined that COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”)no longer fits the definition of a public health emergency and the U.S. government announced that the declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19 expired on May 11, 2023. Although COVID-19 has materiallyentered an endemic stage, the continuing impacts of COVID-19 remain and are expected to continue to remain as a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future period and COVID-19 (or other future pandemics) may continue to adversely impactedaffect the global economic conditions. More than 27 months into the Pandemic, COVID-19 continues to have an unpredictable and unprecedented impact on the global economy. Despite increasing availability of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions, infection rates continue to fluctuate and federal, state and local government requirements are likely to remain fluid. The uncertainties caused by the Pandemic include, but are not limited to,conditions, including possible additional supply chain disruptions, workplace dislocations, economic contraction, and downwardnegative pressure on some customer budgets and customer sentiment in general. Due to the Pandemic, we have experienced supply chain and work delays on certain projects. Should such conditions continue or worsen or should longer-term budgets or priorities of our clients be impacted, the Pandemic could further negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent of the impact of the Pandemic on our business and financial results, and the volatility of our stock price will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the Pandemic, new and potentially more contagious variants, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, the impact on capital and financial markets, the distribution, rate of adoption and efficacy of vaccines, and the related impact on the budgets and financial circumstances of our customers and suppliers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated as of the date of this report.sentiment.
Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the PandemicCOVID-19 on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations, we have taken certainand may continue to identify and execute various actions to preserve our liquidity, manage cash flow and strengthen our financial flexibility. Such actions include, but are not limited to, reducing our discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, and implementing restructuring activities. Refer toactivities (see Note 3, Restructuring Activities, to the Financial Statements for more information.information).

Our products require specialized parts, some of which have becomebecame more difficult to source.source during the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, we have had to purchase such parts from third-party brokers at substantially higher prices. Additionally, to mitigate for component shortages, we have increased inventory levels. In the event demand doesn't materialize, we would need to hold excess inventory for several quarters. Alternatively, we may be unable to source sufficient components, even from third-party brokers, at any price,

to meet customer demand, resulting in high levels of unshippable backlog. We have placed non-cancellable inventory orders for certain products in advance of our normal lead times to secure normal and incremental future supply and capacity and may need to continue to do so in the future. The Company increased inventory by approximately $4.9 million during the six months ended September 30, 2022 which was a planned increase in inventory as part of the Company's supply chain strategy. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, inventory decreased from June 30, 2022 by a net $0.5 million and we had working capital of approximately $26.0 million as of September 30, 2022. The cash flow used in operating activities of our continuing operations was approximately $13.6 million which was primarily driven by the planned increase in inventory and the continued re-design of certain circuit boards as part of the Company’s supply chain strategy to help assure the Company has product and raw materials to satisfy customer demand, and the net operating loss as a result of higher inventory component costs related to the global supply chain constraints. The Company's tactics to mitigate the current global supply chain issues included re-designing certain circuit boards to accommodate computer chips that are more readily available in the market at more reasonable prices, and by accumulating inventory in the first two quarters of the fiscal year 2023. ended March 31, 2023 ("Fiscal 2023"). We also placed non-cancellable inventory orders for certain products in advance of our normal lead times to secure normal and incremental future supply and capacity.

The increase in inventory purchases and in particular components purchased in the secondary markets will bewas curtailed in the second half of Fiscal 2023, and the Company currently does not expect to continue to accumulate inventory, in the future, in the same magnitude, in future periods. However, we may remain supply-constrained beyondif the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022. If such efforts are not successful forCompany encounters additional supply chain constraints again in the foreseeable future, the companyit may need to further adjust its operations to havemaintain sufficient liquidity.
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 5, Income Taxes, for more information.
The Pandemic has had an impact on the Company’s human capital. While our Santa Ana product and commercial operations facility has remained open throughout the Pandemic, easing of Pandemic restrictions imposed by local and state authorities has allowed a larger 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. 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.
The Company assessed the impacts of the Pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our unaudited condensed financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in our 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. 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. As a result, our assessment of the impact of the Pandemic may change.
Climate Change
We take climate change and the risks associated with climate change seriously. Increased frequency of severe and extreme weather events associated with climate change could adversely impact our facilities, interfere with intersection construction projects, and have a material impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. More extreme and volatile temperatures, increased storm intensity and flooding, and more volatile precipitation are among the weather events that are most likely to impact our business. We are unable to predict the timing or magnitude of these events. However, we perform ongoing assessments of physical risk, including physical climate risk, to our business and efforts to mitigate these physical risks continue to be implemented on an ongoing basis.

As a global leader in smart mobility infrastructure management, ourwe are committed to a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Table of Contents
AdjustedNet income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and project loss reserves, other legal expenses, and executive severance and transition costs (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was approximately $2.9million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to approximately $(5.2) million and $(7.6) million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to approximately $2.3 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, 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 providesand the related financial ratio provide 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,ratio, 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 (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to net cash provided by (used in) 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 analytical tools, and you should not consider them 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
23


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 ratiosratio 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 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:
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 inincluding 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. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense includes amortization of the remaining capitalized deferred financing costs due to the termination of the Credit Agreement (see Note 11).
24

Table of Contents
Income tax. This amount may be useful to investors because it represents the taxes that might be payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes during the period, and therefore could 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.Amortization expense. 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 representsthey represent the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights.
Interest income and expense. Iteris excludes interest income and 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. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense includes amortization of the remaining capitalized deferred financing costs due to the termination of the Credit Agreement in Fiscal 2023 (see Note 11, Long-Term Debt, to the Financial Statements for more information).
Stock-based compensation. These expenses consist primarily of expenses from employee and director equity basedequity-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.
Other legal expenses. Iteris excludes legal expenses that it believes are infrequent, unusual and not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance. We do not adjust for any ordinary course legal expenses. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, other legal expenses consist of costs related to a specific breach of contract dispute for which the Company previously expected a settlement to be reached, however, due to a change in facts and circumstances that now point to a more protracted and costly process, we included the legal costs of $0.6 million incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and in addition included related expenses of $0.4 million incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 in results for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The Company believes that an outcome resulting in a loss is remote. There were no such costs in the prior year periods.
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.
24


Project loss reserves. These expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred to complete a software development contract that will not be recoverable and largely related to previously incurred and capitalized costs for non-recurring engineering activity. 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.

Product revenues primarily consist of product sales, but also includes OEM products for the traffic signal markets, as well as third-party product sales for installation under certain construction-type contracts. Product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 20222023 increased 17.2%12.6% to $20.8$23.4 million, as compared to $17.7$20.8 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to continued strong demand for our hardware solutions.

Service revenues consist of software, managed services, systems integration, and consulting services revenues. In certain instances, the lack of third-party product availability can impact the timing of systems integration projects and associated revenue recognition. Service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 20222023 increased 19.1%9.2% to $18.5$20.2 million, compared to $15.5$18.5 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. This increase was due to continued adoptionacceleration of Iteris' ClearMobility Platform and increased software and managedconsulting services revenue. Total annual recurring revenue, which we define as allrevenue from software and managed services revenueservice contracts, was approximately 25% of total revenue for both the three months ended September 30, 20222023 and 26% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021.2022.

This increase was due to continued adoptionacceleration of Iteris' ClearMobility Platform and increased software and managedconsulting services revenue. Total annual recurring revenue, which we define as allrevenue from software and managed services revenueservice contracts, was 27% of total revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2022 andapproximately 25% of total revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2021.2023 and 27% of total revenue for the same period last year.

Backlog is an operational measure representing future unearned revenue amounts believed to be firm that are to be earned under our existing agreements, but it does not represent the total contract award if a firm commitment, purchase order or task order has not yet been issued under the contract, and are not included in deferred revenue on our balance sheets. Backlog includes new bookings but does not include announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. We typically expect to recognize revenue in the range of approximately two-thirds to three-quarters of our backlog as of the end of a fiscal year in the subsequent fiscal year. We believe backlog is a useful metric for investors, given its relevance to total orders, although there can be no assurances we will recognize revenue from bookings or backlog timely.

The Company added approximately $43.8 million of Contentsnew bookings, or potential revenue under binding agreements, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company's total ending backlog increased 10.9% to approximately $124.0 million as of September 30, 2023, as compared to approximately $111.8 million as of September 30, 2022. Our backlog as of September 30, 2023 set an all-time record for the Company.

Our product gross margin as a percentage of product revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 increased approximately 4,040 basis points and 3,170 basis points, respectively, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to continued improvement in the Company's supply chain, demonstrating we are realizing the anticipated gross margin benefits from the introduction of our alternative circuit boards and other elements of our supply chain improvement plan.

Our service gross margin as a percentage of service revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 decreased approximately 180 basis points and 340 basis points respectively, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to a higher proportion of cost of revenue related to subcontractors and higher costs for data we purchased during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023.

Our total gross margin as a percentage of total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 increased approximately 2,060 basis points and 1,510 basis points, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods due to the aforementioned reasons.

We plan to continue to focus on securing new contracts and extendingto extend and/or continuingcontinue our existing relationships with both key public-sector and private-sector customers that have projects in their final project phases.customers. While we believe our ability to obtain additional large contracts will contribute to overall revenue growth, the mix of subcontractor revenue and third-party product sales to our public-sector customers will likely affect the related total gross profit from period to period, as total revenues derived from subcontractors and third-party product sales generally have lower gross margins than revenues generated by our own products and professional services.
Backlog is an operational measure representing future unearned revenue amounts believed to be firm that are to be earned under our existing agreements and are not included in deferred revenue on our balance sheets. Backlog includes new bookings but does not include announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. In many cases, backlog is less than the sum total contract value of all our customer agreements. We believe backlog is a useful metric for investors, given its relevance to total orders, but there can be no assurances we will recognize revenue from bookings or backlog timely or ever. Total backlog was approximately $111.8 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to approximately $83.4 million as of September 30, 2021.

Our product gross margin as a percentage of product revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 decreased approximately 4,570 basis points and 3,340 basis points, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decline was due to global supply chain constraints that prevented the Company from sourcing certain electronics components (most notably semiconductors) through traditional channels at normal prices. To maintain customer loyalty, increase market penetration, and build buffer stock to reduce future shipping disruptions, the Company sourced various components from electronics brokers (or aftermarket brokers) at elevated prices. Electronics brokers typically require buyers to pay upon receipt, whereas traditional sources offer standard payment terms. While this dynamic impacted working capital and cash flow in the periods, the Company expects these dynamics to renormalize upon the release of new circuit board designs that have qualified components from traditional supplier channels at more reasonable prices. The Company expects to begin shipments of these new circuit boards in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 resulting in improvements in product gross margins.

Our service gross margin as a percentage of service revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 increased approximately 1,600 basis points and 610 basis points, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the prior year periods including a contractual loss with a customer of $2.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

The increase was primarily due to the addition ofmore earned sales commissions driven by increases in revenue, increased headcount, and additional work on large design and build sales support representatives, resulting in higher compensation and benefit costs.proposals.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 20222023 increased approximately 18.8%18.0% to $2.2$2.6 million, compared to $1.8$2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.2022. Research and development expense for the six months ended September 30, 20222023 increased approximately 19.9%8.4% to $4.3$4.7 million, compared to $3.6$4.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021.2022. The overall increase was primarily due to the continued investment in research and development activities largely focused on improving our existing software related offerings and the re-designdevelopment of certain circuit boards as part of the Company's supply chain mitigation program.new software products.

We plan to continue to invest in the development of further enhancements and new functionality of our Iteris ClearMobility® Platform which includes among other things our software portfolio and our Vantage sensors.
Certain development costs were capitalized into intangible assets in the Company's unaudited condensed balance sheets in both the current and prior year periods; however, certain development costs did not meet the criteria for capitalization under GAAP and are included in research and development expense. Going forward, we expect to continue to invest in our software solutions. This continued investment may result in increases in research and development costs, as well as additional capitalized software assets in future periods.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization ofexpense for intangible assets is recorded in both cost of revenues and operating expenses. Total amortization was approximately $0.7$0.8 million and $0.7 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was approximately $1.3 million and $1.3$1.6 million for each of the six months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021, respectively.2022.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective tax rate, based on our 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.

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 experiencedWe previously recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets due to our cumulative pre-tax loss over the trailing three years,losses, and 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.

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 release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

The Company agreed to accept a $1.0 million 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 ofinventory sold by the Company induring Fiscal 2023, at the year ended March 31, 2022. The CARES Act also allows for the deferralrequest of payroll taxes, as well as the immediate refund of federal Alternative Minimum Tax credits, which had previouslya prime contractor and related to a project that has been made refundable over a period of four years by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.delayed. The Company is utilizinga subcontractor to the provisionprime contractor on the delayed project, and there currently are no known issues with the product, nor is there currently any contention that there are issues with the product.

After meeting with the deferral of payroll taxes as of September 30, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Outlook
We believe we will have adequate liquidity over the next 12 months to operate our business and to meet our cash requirements. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $8.0 million. Additionally,prime contractor beginning in mid-July 2023, the Company had working capitalagreed to reassess the situation and agreed on August 7, 2023, to accept the inventory return. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a pretax loss contingency of approximately $26.0$0.2 million, ascomprised of September 30, 2022.
As a result$1.0 million in accrued liabilities representing the sale value of the Pandemic, we have takeninventory and will continue to take action to reduce costs, preserve liquidity$0.8 million in prepaid expenses and manage our cash flow. Such actions include, but are not limited to reducing our discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing payroll costs, including employee furloughs, pay freezes and pay cuts as needed.
Whileother current assets representing the impact and durationestimated value of the Pandemic on our business is currently uncertain, the situation is expectedinventory to be temporary. The Company increased inventory by approximately $4.9 million duringreturned in the six months ended September 30, 2022, which was a planned increase in inventory as part of the Company's supply chain mitigation program. Duringfuture. In the three months ended September 30, 2022,2023, the inventory decreased from June 30, 2022, by a net $0.5 million thoughwas returned, and the Company did replenish certain electronics components in theaccrued liability was paid. As of September 30, 2022 period2023, there were no outstanding contingencies related to maintain buffer stock targets consistent with our supply chain mitigation program.this inventory.
The cash flow used in operating activities of our continuing operations was approximately $13.6 million which was primarily driven by the planned increase in inventoryLiquidity and the re-design of certain circuit boards as part of the Company’s supply chain mitigation program to help assure the Company has product and raw materials to satisfy customer demand, and the net operating loss is a result of higher inventory component costs for product we shipped in the periods.

The Company's tactics to mitigate the current global supply chain issues included accumulating inventory in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2023 to reduce the risk of customer disruptions while our engineering teams re-design certain circuit boards to accommodate electronic components (primarily semiconductors) that are more readily available through traditional sources at more normal prices. In future periods, the increase in inventory purchases and in particular components purchased in the secondary markets will be curtailed, meaning the Company does not expect to continue to accumulate inventory in the future and in the same magnitude. However, we may remain supply-constrained beyond the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022. If such efforts are not successful for the foreseeable future, the Company may need to further adjust its operations to have sufficient liquidity.Capital Resources
Cash Flows
We have historically financed our operations with a combination of cash flows from operations and the sale of equity securities. We expect to continue to rely on cash flows from operations and our cash reserves to fund our operations, which we believe to be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need or choose to raise additional capital to fund potential future acquisitions and our future growth. We may raise such funds by selling equity or debt securities to the public or to selected investors or by borrowing money from financial institutions. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution, and any equity securities that may be issued may have rights senior to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funding on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
At September 30, 2022,2023, we had $26.0$30.2 million in working capital, excluding current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, which included $8.0$20.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.equivalents and restricted cash. This compares to working capital of $36.8$24.8 million at March 31, 2022, excluding current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations,2023, which included $23.8$16.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.

This was offset by ourwhich compares to net loss from continuing operations of approximately $12.3 million coupled with approximately $7.0 million of outflows due to changes in working capital which was primarily driven by the planned increase in inventory as part of the Company's supply chain mitigation program. The Company does not expect such a large increase in inventory in future periods. The efforts to redesign circuit boards around more readily available parts at lower prices has resulted in new circuit boards that are expected to commence production during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 with the aim of reducing purchases in the broker market at elevated prices and reducing cash outflows related to inventory purchases in future periods. However, if such efforts are not successful for the foreseeable future, the Company may need to further adjust its operations to maintain sufficient liquidity.

Seasonality
We have historically experienced seasonality, which adversely affects product sales in our third and fourth fiscal quarters due to a reduction in intersection construction and repairs during the winter months due to inclement weather conditions, with the third fiscal quarter generally affected the most by inclement weather. We have also experienced seasonality, particularly with respect to our service revenues, especially in the third fiscal quarter due to the increased number of holidays, causing a reduction in available billable hours.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Table of Contents
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of management override or improper acts, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to management override, error or improper acts may occur and not be detected. Any resulting misstatement or loss may have an adverse and material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
