Press Release

LONG BEACH, N.Y., May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ipsidy Inc. (authid.ai) [OTCQB:IDTY] a leading provider of an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform delivering a suite of secure, mobile, biometric identity verification solutions, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The identity solutions market is rapidly developing and increasing demand for verifying digital identity during remote onboarding and passwordless authentication solutions can be seen in our expanding pipeline and recent agreements highlighted below with multinational customers across a variety of industries and geographies. While remote access to a broad range of digital services and networks is not new, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated demand for verifying identity seamlessly during remote onboarding as well securing “touchless” interactions.

Ipsidy’s IDaaS platform helps our clients eliminate identity fraud, phishing, and account takeover through an automated, cascading biometric identity verification solution. Offering a seamless, secure mobile experience, our technology captures and validates a government issued credential (such as a driver’s license), and biometrically matches a selfie of the applicant to the credential. Ipsidy confirms the rightful owner of a document is present and applying for an account or registering for passwordless authentication, whereas other identity analytics providers merely compare user attributes (such as name, address and phone number) to compiled data sources, examine device behavior, and flag aberrant or fraudulent patterns. Instead, Ipsidy securely creates a digital chain of trust between biometrically verified individuals, their accounts, and their devices. This chain of trust, we believe, substantially enhances how our clients can confidently convert new vetted users to revenue quickly, and proactively authenticate their systems access and services across the customer engagement.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

• Total revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $0.6 million compared to $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

We continue to carefully watch developments related to COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Financial Information.

The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this statement. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation. These non-GAAP key business indicators, which include Adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered replacements for and should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes,(4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense (stock options and restricted stock) and (6) certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Please see Table 1 below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
