Mitek (NASDAQ: MITK, www.miteksystems.com), a global leader in mobile capture and digital identity verification solutions, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2021 ended June 30, 2021. Total third quarter revenue increased 25% year over year, fueled by increased demand for both identity verification solutions and mobile deposit as commerce continues its shift to digital channels.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
- Total revenue increased 25% year over year to a record $31.8 million.
- GAAP net income was $3.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
- Non-GAAP net income increased 56% year over year to $10.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.
- Cash flow from operations was $9.0 million.
- Total cash and investments were $215.5 million at the end of the quarter.
Transactional identity verification revenue continued its solid performance growing 33% year over year, and deposit solutions grew 23% year over year as consumer adoption further expands.
“We are pleased to report an all-time record revenue quarter with strong growth from both our identity and deposits businesses,” said Mitek CEO Max Carnecchia. “Mitek’s consistent, strong and rapid growth reflects the team’s commitment to helping our customers and partners accelerate their digital transformation and fight against fraud. With both the acquisition of ID R&D and the introduction of Check Fraud Defender this quarter, we continue our commitment to building trust in the digital world.”
Mitek acquired ID R&D, the leading provider of AI-based voice and face biometrics and liveness detection, during the quarter to lead the fight against biometric identity fraud.
The company also introduced Check Fraud Defender, the first AI-powered, cloud-hosted consortium for financial institutions. Twenty percent of the top 25 US banks have already licensed Check Fraud Defender technology and are experiencing up to a 90% savings in manual review time following its initial deployment. Nearly 100 percent of U.S. banks trust Mitek technology today, making it uniquely qualified to provide this service which enables financial institutions to cooperate in the fight against skyrocketing check fraud.
Mitek’s technology ensures that more businesses can transact digitally and secure their platforms through easy, fast and continuous identity verification. Almost all aspects of modern life now use digital channels, so the need to establish trust in the digital identities of customers, citizens, partners, and employees is rapidly rising. Mitek continues as the clear market leader in remote check deposit solutions, with thousands of financial organizations using its solutions, and approximately five billion transactions processed.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share that exclude stock compensation expenses, intellectual property litigation costs, executive transition costs, acquisition-related costs and expenses, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments, and the cash tax difference.

Further, management and the Board of Directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to gain a better understanding of the company’s comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the company’s GAAP financial statements, are useful to investors because they provide a basis for meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the company’s ongoing operating results, including results of operations against investor and analyst financial models, which helps identify trends in the company’s underlying business and provides a better understanding of how management plans and measures the company’s underlying business.

Comprised of costs associated with the transition of the company’s former chief financial officer. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude these transition costs as we believe that such expense is inconsistent with the normally recurring operations of our company and the inclusion of these costs makes it difficult to make period-to-period comparisons of our operating performance. |
|
(2) |
The company’s non-GAAP net income is calculated using a cash tax rate of 3% and 0% in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The estimated cash tax rate is the estimated tax payable on the company’s tax returns as a percentage of estimated annual non-GAAP pre-tax net income. The company uses an estimated cash tax rate to adjust for the historical variation in the effective book tax rate associated with the reversal of valuation allowances, the utilization of research and development tax credits, and the utilization of loss carryforwards which currently have an overall effect of reducing taxes payable. The company believes that the cash tax rate provides a more transparent view of the company’s operating results. The company’s effective tax rate used for the purposes of calculating GAAP net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 9% and 15%, respectively. The company’s effective tax rate used for the purposes of calculating GAAP net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 3% and 14%, respectively. |
