Corporate Rebrand, Nasdaq Uplist and Verified™ Launch Set Stage For Growth
Management to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 p.m. EDT
DENVER, Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- authID.ai (www.authid.ai) [Nasdaq:AUID] (formerly Ipsidy) a leading provider of secure, mobile, biometric identity authentication, today reported financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
The Company made substantial progress during the quarter and year to date on its multi-pronged strategy to rebrand itself under the name authID.ai, and drive key product development, sales and marketing initiatives.
“Our vision is to help every organization “Recognise their Customers” and eliminate the friction, loss of privacy and customer abandonment that comes with legacy password structures,” said Tom Thimot, CEO of authID.ai. “We know that businesses must defend against ever-growing cyber threats, but one-time passwords and challenge questions are vulnerable to hackers and often frustrate customers and can lead to lost business. Verified™ by authID—which captures a selfie seamlessly in a web-browser and verifies identity to a secure, cloud-biometric—offers a superior, frictionless, authentication solution.
Importantly, our successful launch of Verified™ as a replacement for one-time passwords (OTP) at Money 20/20 at the end of October validated our view of the meaningful market demand for authID.ai’s cloud-biometrics. We look forward to continuing the momentum we created at this event in conjunction with our expanded sales efforts and compelling new marketing campaigns,” added Thimot.
Financial Results for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
- Total revenue for the three and nine-month periods in 2021 was $0.5 million and $1.7 million respectively, compared with $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively for same periods in 2020.
- Net loss for the three and nine-month periods was $5.2 million and $10.7 million respectively, compared with a net loss before taxes for the same periods in 2020 of $1.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
- Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.24 and $0.52 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.11 and $0.52 in the same periods in 2020, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 was $2.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively compared to $1.3 million and $4.1 million in the same periods in 2020, respectively. The increased adjusted EBITDA loss reflects increased investment in product management, sales and marketing and technology during the period.
- Closed a public offering of approximately $11.5 million from existing and new investors in August 2021. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 was $9.2 million.

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 loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
