Identiv Reports Q3 2014 Earnings

Quarterly Revenue of $22.7 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.99 Million

FREMONT, Calif., November 13, 2014 — Identiv (NASDAQ: INVE), a global security technology company that provides trusted identity solutions for premises, information, and everyday items, reports its financial results for the third quarter (Q3) of 2014.

“In Q3 2014, we saw continued growth in revenue and achieved positive adjusted EBITDA,” said Jason Hart, Identiv CEO. “The steps taken to streamline our business have allowed us to build a stable platform to deliver our products and services and to continue investing in sales, marketing, and product development.”

Q3 Financial Summary
In reviewing the results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2013:

• Total revenues for continuing operations were $22.7 million, compared to $20.9 million, reflecting growth of 9%, with significant contribution from sales of credentials products increasing 49% to meet demand for electronic game toys, offset by lower sales of premises and identity products.
• GAAP gross profit margin was 43%, compared to 48%, primarily due to product mix.
• Base operating expenses, which include research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs, were $10.6 million, compared to $10.0 million, up 6%. The company increased its investment in sales and marketing by 12% and in research and development by 10%, offset by a reduction in general and administrative expenses of 4%.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $0.99 million, compared to $0.95 million.
• GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $(3.9) million in Q3 2014, which included restructuring costs totaling $1.8 million, or $(0.46) per share, compared with GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $(12.9) million, or $(1.69) per share, in the comparable prior year period. There were restructuring costs of $1.3 million and impairment charges to goodwill and long lived assets of $11.1 million in Q3 2013.
• Cash was $41.1 million on September 30, 2014, compared with $5.1 million on December 31, 2013, reflecting proceeds from a refinancing of debt in March 2014 and an underwritten offering of common stock in September 2014.

Note: Financial results contained in this release reflect the continuing operations of Identiv only and exclude discontinued operations of non-core businesses sold in December 2013, February 2014, and June 2014.

“In Q3 2014, we continued to build a solid organization which is well capitalized, has unique technology, and a new sales organization to execute on our strategy. As the relationships formed this year with strategic technology, telecommunications, and distribution partners begin to mature, we believe we are well-aligned in the identity and security marketplaces,” said Hart. “While a number of internal consolidation and cost-efficiency projects are ongoing, our primary focus has transitioned to leveraging our know-how to deliver new security products throughout the remainder of this year and into 2015, while outpacing the annual industry growth rate in 2015.”

Guidance
The Company reaffirms revenue guidance for fiscal year 2014 of revenue between $80 million and $90 million.
