Company Reiterates Guidance for Fiscal 2024

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MITK, www.miteksystems.com, “Mitek” or the “Company”), a global leader in digital identity and fraud prevention, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2023, and provided select preliminary results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2024. Mitek also reiterated its previously provided guidance for its 2024 fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Financial Results

  • Total revenue was $36.9 million, compared to $45.7 million a year ago.
  • GAAP operating loss was $6.9 million, an operating margin of negative 19%, compared to GAAP operating income of $8.4 million, an operating margin of 18% a year ago.
  • GAAP net loss was $5.8 million, or negative $0.13 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $4.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share a year ago.
  • Non-GAAP operating income was $5.6 million and non-GAAP operating margin was 15%, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $18.4 million and a non-GAAP operating margin of 40% last year.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $6.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $14.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share last year.
  • Cash flow from operations was a negative $9.5 million, driven by $7.8 million in cash taxes paid for FY2023 during the quarter and $4.6 million in cash paid for the final ID R&D earnout payment.
  • Total cash and investments was $123.9 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $134.9 million on September 30, 2023.

Preliminary Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Revenue Results

  • Mitek expects fiscal second quarter revenue to be in the range of $46 million to $47 million.

    The Company’s independent auditor has not reviewed or audited these preliminary estimated financial results. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these preliminary financial results, and may be outside the estimated ranges. This preliminary financial data has been prepared by and is the responsibility of the Company. The Company has not fully completed its review of these preliminary financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Mitek CEO Max Carnecchia’s Comments

"As previously discussed, in the first quarter of last year we had a large one-time multi-year mobile deposit reorder that pulled forward about $7 million of future year revenue into that quarter, including $2.7 million that would have been recognized in fiscal Q1’24, creating a very difficult year over year comparison. It’s important to note that this quarter’s results are not representative of a business trend, in fact, to the contrary. With our fiscal 2024 guidance, which we are reiterating today, we expect our Deposits product revenue to grow 10 to 12% year over year on a normalized basis and our Identity product revenue to grow 10 to 12% year over year. We anticipate that much of this growth will occur in the second half of the fiscal year, with growth continuing in fiscal 2025. Having achieved product market fit with our new products, including Check Fraud Defender, MiVIP, MiPass and ID R&D biometrics software products, we have several growth drivers in place leveraging advanced AI and machine learning to meet evolving customer needs to enhance trust and convenience in digital interactions."

Fiscal 2024 Full Year Guidance

Mitek is reiterating its previously provided guidance for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, as follows:

  • Mitek expects full-year revenue to be in the range of $180.0 million to $185.0 million, a 6% growth rate at the midpoint of the range. In fiscal 2023, Mitek signed a large multi-year mobile deposit reorder with one customer that locked in favorable pricing over a four-year period. Due to the unique terms of this contract, Mitek recognized additional license revenue relating to future years of approximately $7.0 million in fiscal 2023. If the Company backs out the future year revenue of $7 million from its fiscal 2023 revenue and attributes the $2.7 million that would have been attributable to fiscal 2024 to the midpoint of the fiscal 2024 revenue guidance, it would represent growth of approximately 12.0% at the revised midpoint.
  • Mitek expects its non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal 2024 to be between 30.0% and 31.0%.

Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this news release relating to the Company or its management’s intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future, including, but not limited to, statements relating to the Company’s select preliminary revenue results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s fiscal 2024 guidance, its expectation regarding timing of revenue growth, its intent to use its growth drivers in place that leverage advanced AI and machine learning to meet evolving customer needs and its intent to enhance trust and convenience in digital interactions, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks related to the Company’s ability to withstand negative conditions in the global economy, a lack of demand for or market acceptance of the Company’s products, the impact of the Company’s acquisition of HooYu Ltd. including any operational or cultural difficulties associated with the integration of the businesses of Mitek and HooYu Ltd., the Company’s ability to continue to develop, produce and introduce innovative new products in a timely manner, the Company’s ability to capitalize on a growing market, quarterly variations in revenue, the profitability of certain sectors of the Company, the performance of the Company’s growth initiatives, the outcome of any pending or threatened litigation, and the timing of the implementation and launch of the Company’s products by the Company’s signed customers.

Additional risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are contained from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including, but not limited to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on March 19, 2024 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, which you may obtain for free on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Collectively, these risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in its forward-looking statements and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update, amend or clarify these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share that exclude acquisition-related costs and expenses, litigation and other legal costs, executive transition costs, stock compensation expense, non-recurring audit fees, enterprise risk, portfolio positioning and other related costs, and restructuring costs. These financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In evaluating the Company’s performance, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial statements prepared under GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company’s operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Board of Directors of the Company 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.

The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its forward outlook for non-GAAP operating margin with its forward-looking GAAP operating margin in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to quantify share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from our non-GAAP operating margin, as it requires additional inputs such as the number of shares granted and market prices that are not ascertainable due to the volatility of the Company’s share price. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company’s operations are in foreign countries and the transactional currencies are primarily Euros and British pound sterling and the Company is not able to predict fluctuations in those currencies without unreasonable efforts.
