Identiv Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Identiv (NASDAQ: INVE) reported challenging Q2 2025 financial results, with revenue declining to $5.0 million from $6.7 million in Q2 2024. The company posted a GAAP net loss of $6.0 million ($0.26 per share) and negative GAAP gross margin of 9.4%. The decline was attributed to production transition costs from Singapore to Thailand and reduced sales to their largest customer.

Key developments include a strategic partnership with IFCO for digitizing their global RPC pool, completion of production transfer to Thailand, and partnership with Narravero for digital product passport adoption. The company appointed Ed Kirnbauer as CFO and projects Q3 2025 revenue between $4.8-5.2 million.

Insights

Financial Analyst

Identiv reports concerning Q2 results with revenue down 25% YoY, negative gross margins, and ongoing production transition challenges.

Identiv's Q2 2025 results reveal significant operational challenges during its strategic transformation. Revenue fell to $5.0 million from $6.7 million in Q2 2024, a 25% year-over-year decline. More concerning is the company's negative gross margin of -9.4% on a GAAP basis and -0.8% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to positive margins of 9.1% and 14.6% respectively in the prior year.

The core issues stem from Identiv's production transition from Singapore to Thailand, creating dual manufacturing costs while experiencing lower facility utilization. This transition, coupled with inventory adjustments for obsolete stock at the Singapore facility, has significantly impacted profitability. The company's largest customer working through previously built safety stock has further compressed revenue.

Despite reduced operating expenses (GAAP: $5.9 million vs. $7.3 million in Q2 2024; non-GAAP: $4.5 million vs. $4.7 million), Identiv still posted a net loss from continuing operations of $6.0 million ($0.26 per share), only slightly improved from $6.9 million ($0.31 per share) a year ago. The adjusted EBITDA loss worsened to $4.6 million from $3.7 million.

Management's Q3 revenue guidance of $4.8-$5.2 million suggests continued pressure, potentially flat or slightly higher than Q2. The recently announced partnership with grocery logistics leader IFCO to digitize their global RPC pool and partnership with Narravero for digital product passport adoption represent potential future growth drivers, but their financial impact remains unclear amid ongoing operational restructuring under their Perform-Accelerate-Transform (P-A-T) strategy.

The CFO transition to Ed Kirnbauer, previously Global Corporate Controller since 2015, adds another element of change during this critical transformation period. While management maintains that long-term secular trends driving RFID and BLE-enabled solutions remain solid, the immediate financial performance indicates a challenging transformation process with uncertain timing for a return to growth and profitability.

Announced Strategic Partnership with Grocery Logistics Leader IFCO to Digitize their Global RPC Pool

Completed Transfer of Production from Singapore to State-of-the-art Thailand Facility 

Launched Partnership with Narravero to Accelerate Digital Product Passport Adoption and Compliance

SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global leader in RFID- and BLE-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today released its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"In the second quarter, we made important progress across all three pillars of our Perform-Accelerate-Transform (P-A-T) strategy. We believe our customers clearly see the value Identiv provides, and the long-term secular trends driving demand for RFID and BLE-enabled solutions remain solid. By reinforcing our core strengths, expanding through new strategic partnerships like IFCO, developing innovative solutions for BLE applications, and working through our Transform process, we believe we can create value for all our stakeholders."

Financial Results for Fiscal Second Quarter 2025
Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $5.0 million, compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. This year-over-year decrease was as expected and due to lower sales as we continue to exit lower-margin business, as well as reduced sales to our largest customer, who is working through safety stock they built up in 2024 in anticipation of transitioning production to Thailand.

Second quarter 2025 GAAP gross margin was (9.4%) and non-GAAP gross margin was (0.8%), compared to second quarter 2024 GAAP gross margin of 9.1% and non-GAAP gross margin of 14.6%. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by the incremental costs related to the transition of production to Thailand and the dual manufacturing sites required during the transition, combined with lower utilization of our production facilities and adjustments of obsolete inventory at our Singapore facility.

GAAP operating expenses, including research and development, selling and marketing, general and administrative, and restructuring and severance, were $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in GAAP operating expenses was driven primarily by a reduction in one-time strategic review-related costs. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in non-GAAP operating expenses reflects management's targeted resource allocation to support the Company's organic growth initiatives as outlined in the P-A-T strategic framework. 

Second quarter 2025 GAAP net loss from continuing operations was ($6.0) million, or ($0.26) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss from continuing operations of ($6.9) million, or ($0.31) per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024. This reduction was primarily due to strategic review-related costs associated with the physical security asset sale of $1.6 million incurred in the second quarter of 2024 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2025 was ($4.6) million, compared to ($3.7) million in the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily due to Thailand transition costs and adjustments for obsolete inventory at our Singapore facility.
