Identiv Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results
Second Quarter Revenue of $14.8 Million, Up 10% Year-over-Year,
GAAP Net Loss of $(1.9) Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 Million
FREMONT, Calif., August 10, 2017 — Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 second quarter ended June 30, 2017. For the second quarter, total revenues were $14.8 million, GAAP gross margin was 38%, GAAP net loss was $(1.9) million, and adjusted EBITDA was $0.2 million.
“We continued to experience year-over-year organic growth in the core business, anchored by strong revenue retention within our top 10 customers in all three of our segments. Combined with operational expense control, the result is positive adjusted EBITDA for the fourth consecutive quarter. This is the company’s longest period of consistent positive adjusted EBITDA for the last several years, which we believe will continue for the foreseeable future. We continue to solidify our strong operating base, providing business model leverage as the business continues to grow,” said Steven Humphreys, Identiv CEO.
“In the second quarter our smart card reader business led our Identity segment, which grew 39% year-over-year. This balances well with our RFID segment, which led last quarter at over 40% year-over-year growth. Going into the current quarter, we expect leading growth from our physical access products as they benefit from the government’s fiscal year-end. This combination of balance across segments and strong growth within each is at the core of our business model. It was demonstrated again this quarter.
On the physical access side, we recorded our strongest quarter of sales through the Cisco channel, driven by orders for a multi-site educational project, reflecting our strength – and Cisco’s – in the rapidly-adopting education market. Further, our Hirsch Velocity and TS Reader products position us as the provider of choice for FICAM-compliant access control across the U.S. government. Going into the second half of the year, we are implementing targeted outreach programs to permeate all government agencies, for whom FICAM is a mandate.”
Second Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights
- Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $14.8 million, compared to $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting a sequential increase of 11% from the first quarter of 2017, and a year-over-year increase of 10% from the second quarter of 2016. The revenue increase in the second quarter of 2017 was mainly driven by growth in the Identity segment, which grew 31% sequentially and 39% year-over-year. Second quarter performance in the segment mainly reflects the delivery of smart card readers for the completion of an international government project in the APAC region as well as reader chip sets to OEM partners. Revenues in the Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) segment grew 9% sequentially and 5% year-over-year, with growth in the second quarter of 2017 being mainly driven by a higher demand for ICPAM-related physical access solutions and physical access controllers through the Cisco channel, including deliveries for a multi-site educational deployment. Revenue in the Credentials segment stayed flat sequentially and grew 2% year-over-year. Year-over-year growth was mainly driven by continued growth in RFID Transponder sales, which grew 10%, partially offset by lower access card sales in the quarter.
- GAAP gross margin was 38% in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 43% in the first quarter of 2017, and 39% in the second quarter of 2016. Sequentially, the change in gross margin predominantly reflects product and channel mix within the PACS and Credentials segments as well as lower margins on a large volume order of Identity readers for an international government project. Within the Credentials segment the quarter included a higher proportion of transponders and cards used in library and tracking applications.
- GAAP operating expenses, including research and development (R&D), sales and marketing (S&M), general and administrative (G&A), and restructuring and severance charges, were $6.9 million, compared to $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting a sequential increase of 4% and a year-over-year decrease of 12%.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $5.8 million, compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting a sequential increase of 2% and a year-over-year reduction of 15%. Non-GAAP operating expenses are in line with the Company’s previously announced target of less than $6 million quarterly of business-related operating expenses.
- GAAP net loss was $(1.9) million, or $(0.15) per share, compared to $(0.7) million, or $(0.06) per share in the first quarter of 2017, and $(3.0) million, or $(0.27) per share in the second quarter of 2016. In comparison, the second quarter of 2016 included restructuring and severance related costs of $0.2 million.
- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, and $(1.2) million in the second quarter of 2016.
- Cash was $18.0 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $7.9 million at March 31, 2017, and $9.1 million at December 31, 2016.
On August 7, 2017, the Company’s insurance provider agreed to reimburse the Company for certain legal fees previously incurred. As a result, the Company expects to recognize a gain of $0.4M in the third quarter of 2017.
Outlook and Guidance
The Company is confirming previously announced guidance for fiscal year 2017 of revenue between $64 million and $68 million and positive adjusted EBITDA between $4 million and $7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
This press release includes financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA. Identiv uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. The non-GAAP operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA discussed above exclude items that are included in GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP operating expenses, and excludes provision (benefit) for income taxes, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, interest expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency gains (losses), stock-based compensation, amortization and depreciation, and restructuring and severance. The exclusions are detailed in the reconciliation table included in this earnings release. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed in this press release. Identiv has not provided a reconciliation of its full-year 2017 adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected. In particular, sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliations, including interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), share-based compensation, and foreign currency (gains) losses. These components of net income (loss) could significantly impact Identiv’s actual net income (loss).
