Intellicheck Announces Record First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total Revenues Grew 10% Year Over Year

Continued Net Income and EBITDA Improvements

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intellicheck, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDN), an industry-leading identity company delivering on-demand digital and physical identity validation solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 grew 10% to $4,680,000 compared to $4,254,000 in the same period of 2023. SaaS revenue grew 9% and totaled $4,609,000 compared to $4,228,000 in the same period of 2023.

“Unrelenting incidents of identity theft and fraud have led to a significant new focus on security and growing consumer concerns. Not only must every business have the advanced technology in place to protect their bottom line, but they also must be responsive to the clear message from consumers. Consumers want better protection, but they do not want to be burdened with time consuming, arduous processes to get that protection. They will take their business elsewhere if they do not get what they want in a user-friendly process. We will continue to capitalize on the demand for consumer-engaging solutions with our distinctive, affordable technology that is hardware agnostic. Uniquely, our technology features rapid, frictionless, and accurate identity verification that has no need for additional hardware. This differentiates Intellicheck from other would-be solution providers,“ said Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 90.7%, in line with expectations, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 92.2% in the same period in 2023.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, decreased 10% to $4,768,000 for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $5,303,000 for the same period of 2023. Included within operating expenses for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 were $344,000 and $682,000, respectively, of non-cash equity compensation expense.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 improved by $945,000 to ($442,000) or ($0.02) per diluted share compared to net loss of ($1,387,000) or ($0.07) per diluted share for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest and other income, provision for income taxes, sales tax accruals, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring charges) improved by $441,000 to $(117,000) for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to ($558,000) for the same period of 2023. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided in this release.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in the form of U.S. Treasuries that totaled $9.2 million and stockholders’ equity totaled $17.2 million.

The unaudited financial results reported today do not consider 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 three months ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net loss for certain reductions such as interest and other income and certain addbacks such as income taxes, sales tax accrual, 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 sales tax accruals, 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 interest and other income, sales tax accruals, 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 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 presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by us may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other companies.

The reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
