Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $24.9 million, an increase of 30% from $19.1 million in the prior quarter.

Revenues in the Identity segment grew sequentially and year-over-year due to higher sales of RFID transponder products and Identity readers, partially offset by lower access card sales. Revenues in the Premises segment rebounded sequentially as the initial market impact of lockdowns subsided. Premises revenues grew overall, while Hirsch Velocity Cirrus orders and 3VR Prime’s pipeline also grew, reflecting preferences for recurring revenue pricing in both access control and video analytics. Federal sales grew approximately 90% sequentially, reflecting strength in the federal market.

GAAP gross margin was 40% in the third quarter of 2020, consistent with the prior quarter and a decrease from 46% in the third quarter of 2019.

GAAP operating expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative were $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $10.0 million in the prior quarter and $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP operating expenses (adjusted to exclude restructuring and severance costs and certain non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, as well as other non-GAAP items consisting of acquisition-related transaction costs) for the third quarter of were $7.5 million, compared to $7.6 million in the prior quarter and $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2019.

GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2020 was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $2.7 million, or $(0.17) per basic and diluted share, in the prior quarter and GAAP net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2020 was $2.8 million, compared to $0.5 million in the prior quarter and $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Cash was $12.3 million at September 30, 2020, which compares to $13.1 million at June 30, 2020 and $11.1 million at September 30, 2019.

Management Commentary
“As our third quarter results issued today demonstrate, we exceeded each of the growth metrics we projected at the end of last quarter around RFID, our federal business, and Premises overall in the third quarter of 2020,” said Identiv’s CEO, Steven Humphreys. “RFID growth of over 100% year-over-year, combined with the rebound in the physical security market and the strength in our federal business enabled our third quarter revenues to grow 30% sequentially. The 90% sequential increase in our government sales helped drive 33% sequential growth in Identity and 26% growth in Premises, while we continued to strengthen our business model by driving recurring revenues. With broad RFID market growth, continued demand for work-from-home and work-mobile, strength in federal sales, and our Q4 backlog up 68% year-over-year, we expect continued strong growth for the rest of 2020 and throughout 2021.”

Sandra Wallach, Identiv’s CFO, added: “The third quarter was another proof point of our growth potential as we near the inflection point of our business model. With third quarter revenues of $24.9 million, we earned positive GAAP net income ahead of expectations, and we believe we will be non-GAAP free cash flow positive, as committed, during the fourth quarter and beyond. Given the line of sight we have into our building backlog and pipeline for 2021, we currently believe we have the ability to outpace the market and grow our revenues to $96 million to $102 million in 2021.”

Financial Outlook
Identiv provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. Consistent with the Company’s guidance issued on May 7, 2020, management currently forecasts full year 2020 revenue to range between $86 million and $88 million, resulting in growth in the second half of 2020 of more than 30% over the first half of 2020. Additionally, management expects to be non-GAAP free cash flow positive in the fourth quarter of 2020.

For the full year 2021, management forecasts growth in RFID and Identity readers both in the low-to-mid 20% range, and growth in Premises in the mid-teens. As a result, management expects revenues for fiscal 2021 to range between $96 million and $102 million, year-over-year growth of more than double the market’s rate. Normal seasonality is expected to continue with momentum building quarter over quarter from the first quarter of 2021 through the end of the year. As a result, management anticipates growth of 20-25 % in the first half of 2021.
