Management Commentary
“We delivered record quarterly topline revenue in the third quarter, with particular strength in our Premises segment. We fell short of our revenue expectations due to order push-outs among mostly low-margin RFID products. We continued our focus on disciplined growth, reflected in the highest gross margins and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in eight quarters,” said Identiv CEO Steven Humphreys. “Our high-margin Premises segment grew at more than double the industry’s growth rate, with sales to Federal customers up 16% year-over-year and to commercial customers up 14% year-over-year. RFID shipments increased 18% year-over-year to 54 million units, although as early-stage IoT applications progress through pilots toward full-scale production, demand may fluctuate quarter-to-quarter.”
“We remain confident in our strategic growth plan and the strength of our two business segments. In IoT, we are focused on building a wide pipeline of specialty complex RF-enabled IoT (SCRI) applications. We currently have 50-plus customers with SCRI products in pilot stage, many of which have the potential for higher volumes. Further, medical and healthcare use cases, which have higher average gross margins, continue to expand and now account for more than half our NFC-based revenue. In Physical Security, demand for our tightly integrated, end-to-end system is growing. New offerings such as Vision AI, our high-security video analytics solution, augment our value proposition, while new products designed for the SMB market, like Primis and Enterphone Mobile, expand the funnel of potential customers, leveraging our high-security brand and technology. With a strong focus on execution, we believe we are well-positioned to make continued progress towards our long-term financial and operational objectives. To ensure we maximize the value potential in both our business lines, our board-led strategic review process was a major activity in Q3 and continues to be in Q4.”
Identiv CFO Justin Scarpulla added, “Delivering disciplined growth remains a top priority for Identiv. We expanded our gross margins and adjusted EBITDA despite lower-than-anticipated third quarter net revenue. We continued to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our working capital position as we worked through our strategic inventory balance. Furthermore, we expect to capitalize on the multiple advantages of producing IoT devices in Thailand as that facility’s manufacturing capacity ramps up to full utilization.”
Financial Outlook
Identiv provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations, including macroeconomic conditions and customer demand. Management has decided to move to quarterly revenue guidance going forward, and currently expects fiscal Q4 2023 revenues in the range of $29 million to $31 million. Normal seasonality is expected to continue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross margin, and non-GAAP operating expenses. Identiv uses non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating ongoing operational performance. Identiv believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes stock-based compensation and amortization and depreciation. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes items that are included in GAAP net income (loss), GAAP operating expenses, and GAAP gross margin, and excludes income tax benefit (provision), interest expense, net foreign currency gains (losses), net stock-based compensation, amortization and depreciation, restructuring and severance, and gain on investment. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude stock-based compensation, amortization and depreciation, and restructuring and severance. For historical periods, the exclusions are detailed in the reconciliation table included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed in this press release.
