Insights

Financial Analyst

Intellicheck's Q4 results reflect robust revenue momentum with total revenue increasing 15% to a record $5.94 million and SaaS revenue growing 17% to $5.91 million. This acceleration from the full-year growth rates of 6% and 7% respectively suggests improved business trajectory heading into 2025.

Despite the revenue growth, Q4 profitability metrics show pressure points: gross margin contracted to 91.1% from 94.9% year-over-year, and operating expenses increased to $4.93 million from $4.06 million. This resulted in Q4 net income declining to $488,000 ($0.03 per share) from $984,000 ($0.05 per share) and Adjusted EBITDA falling to $860,000 from $1.17 million.

For the full year, Intellicheck narrowed its net loss substantially to $918,000 ($0.05 per share) from $1.98 million ($0.10 per share) in 2023, while improving Adjusted EBITDA to $520,000 from $377,000. The $4.7 million cash position and $17.7 million in stockholders' equity provide adequate financial stability.

Management's commentary about offsetting retail headwinds through expansion into new market verticals appears to be gaining traction, evidenced by the accelerated Q4 growth. The company's ability to maintain over 90% gross margins while diversifying revenue streams positions them well for potential future profitability if they can better control operating expense growth.

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 accrual, 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 accrual, 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 entities.
