Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IDN), a leader in threat identification, identity authentication, verification and validation solutions, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2015.

Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 increased 39.0% to $1,536,496 compared to $1,105,622 in the same period of the previous year. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company sold its wireless division. Excluding the revenue generated from the wireless division from last year’s comparable period, sales were up 42% for the fourth quarter. The Company’s booked orders for the three months ended December 31, 2015, excluding the $42,000 in wireless bookings from the prior year’s comparable period, increased 4% to $968,000. Approximately 80% of the Company’s bookings were attributable to its commercial products. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 63.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to 32.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

"Our fourth quarter revenue increase reflects the important successes we have achieved in growing product traction and market scope. We attribute our progress to the focused execution of our strategic plan that we believe will position us to achieve profitable, sustainable long term growth, while maximizing shareholder value," commented Dr. William Roof, CEO of Intellicheck.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-recurring charges) was a loss of $1,140,415 for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to a loss of $873,466 for the fourth quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided elsewhere in this release. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $1,550,068 or $0.16 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $5,961,222 or $1.24 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company took a goodwill impairment charge in the amount of $4.2 million. Excluding the goodwill write-down, the comparable net loss for the three months would have been $1,754,222 or $0.37 per diluted share.

Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2015 increased 6% to $7,014,665 compared to $6,613,056 in the previous year. As previously mentioned, the Company sold its wireless division in 2015 that accounted for $369,000 in revenue during fiscal 2015 and $963,000 in revenue in the prior year period. Excluding the revenue generated from the wireless division from both periods, sales were up 18% year over year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was down slightly to 57.1% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 58.2% for the year ended December 31, 2014.

"We are pushing forward with key initiatives that we believe will fuel growth at a time when domestic and international security challenges represent growing opportunities for our innovative products that address critical needs. With our strong product suite, strengthened operations, and financial discipline, we expect to continue to see a positive revenue pattern that will reflect growing product adoption and market penetration," noted Dr. Roof.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-recurring charges) was a loss of $3,581,418 for fiscal 2015 compared to a loss of $2,091,820 for fiscal 2014. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided elsewhere in this release. The net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was $5,333,951 or $0.55 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $7,644,230 or $1.59 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. As previously mentioned, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company took a goodwill impairment charge in the amount of $4.2 million. Excluding the goodwill write-down, the comparable net loss for the 2014 fiscal year would have been $3,437,230 or $0.72 per diluted share.

As of December 31, 2015, and excluding the wireless division backlog, the Company’s backlog, which represents non-cancelable sales orders for products not yet shipped and services to be performed, decreased 15%, to approximately $197,000.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2015 totaled $6.0 million or $0.60 per diluted share. Stockholders’ equity totaled $16.3 million at the end of the fiscal year or $1.65 per diluted share.

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 Intellicheck Mobilisa files its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA

Intellicheck Mobilisa uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by starting with net income (loss) and adding back interest, 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 the Company's operations and compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures that management uses to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results.

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