Intellicheck Announces Record Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

Revenue Climbed 79% to $4.8 Million

SaaS Revenue Grew 32% Reaching $3.2 Million

Intellicheck, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDN), an industry leader in identity verification and authentication solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Revenue rose 79% to a record $4,831,000 versus $2,699,000 in the prior year comparable period. SaaS revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 increased 32% to $3,245,000 versus $2,451,000 in the prior year comparable period.

CEO Bryan Lewis pointed to a number of key developments including the expansion of Company capabilities beyond North America, the addition of a new product platform, and the addition of new channel partnerships. “Much of what we have been investing in and working on this year is focused on transforming the company to be a Digital Identity company, rather than purely an ID Validation company. We have expanded our client base far beyond just credit cards into banking, call centers, gambling, cannabis, stadiums as well as the digital world, which continues to become an increasing portion of our business. We believe this transformation will allow us to move into many more markets and become a powerhouse within Identity Validation and Digital Identity.”

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 68.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus 89.1% in the prior year comparable period. SaaS revenues represented 67.2% of total sales during the third quarter of 2021, compared to 90.8% of total sales in the prior year comparable period. The decline in gross margin reflects a sales mix that included approximately $1.5 million of hardware sales that carry lower gross margins than SaaS revenues. Excluding hardware sales and related costs in both periods, gross profit as a percentage of sales was 93.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, versus 92.6% in the prior year comparable period.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was ($952,000) or ($0.05) per diluted share versus net income of $32,000 or $0.00 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Non-cash expenses during the quarter included stock-based compensation costs that totaled $639,000.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest and other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges) was a loss of ($271,000) for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to a gain of $169,000 in the prior year comparable period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided elsewhere in this release.

Cash at September 30, 2021 totaled $13.3 million, and stockholders’ equity totaled $21.8 million at the end of the period.

The financial results reported today do not take into account any adjustments that may be required in connection with the completion of the Company’s review process and should be considered preliminary until the Company files its Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net (loss) income for certain reductions such gains on debt forgiveness and interest and other income (expense) and certain addbacks such as income taxes, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial results with other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, amortization, depreciation, and stock-based compensation, as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate our operations and can compare the results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of our operational strength and performance of our business and a useful measure of our historical operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes gains on debt forgiveness, interest and other income (expense), impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation expense, all of which impact our profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization related to the use of long-term assets which benefit multiple periods. We believe that these limitations are compensated by providing Adjusted EBITDA only with GAAP net (loss) income and clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net (loss) income presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by us may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities.

A reconciliation of GAAP net (loss) income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA follows:
