Intellicheck Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

SaaS Revenue Grew 24% and Totaled $2,776,000

Intellicheck, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDN), an industry leader in identification authentication solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. SaaS revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 grew 24% and totaled $2,776,000 versus $2,238,000 in the prior year comparable period. Total revenue for the same period decreased 8% to $2,863,000 versus $3,115,000 in the prior year comparable period due to fewer ancillary hardware sales during the quarter versus the prior year.

CEO Bryan Lewis said, “In addition to continued growth in our client base, we are seeing current clients employ a variety of new applications for our powerful identity platform. At the same time, we are rapidly advancing in the digital world by offering new and existing clients additional fraud indicators to add to the certainty of person-not-present transactions.”

Lewis continued, “Against the backdrop of surging identity theft and fraud, Intellicheck’s technology solutions continue to prove their value by demonstrating time and time again that we provide the most certainty in assuring the person on the other side of a transaction is who they say they are.”

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 92.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus 77.8% in the prior year comparable period. SaaS revenues represented 97% of total sales during the quarter.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1,060,000 or ($0.06) per diluted share versus net income of $27,000 or $0.00 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Non-cash expenses during the quarter included stock-based compensation primarily related to new hires that totaled $981,000.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before gains on debt forgiveness, interest and other income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges) was a loss of ($52,000) for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to positive $144,000 in the prior year comparable period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income is provided elsewhere in this release.

Cash at March 31, 2021 totaled $12.6 million and stockholders’ equity totaled $22.1 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 Intellicheck files its Form 10-Q for the fiscal year ended March 31, 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 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, 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:
