Intellicheck, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDN), an industry-leading identity company delivering on-demand digital and physical identity validation solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 grew 13% to a record $5,524,000 compared to $4,894,000 in the same period of 2025. First quarter SaaS revenue grew 13% and totaled $5,514,000 compared to $4,868,000 in the same period of 2025.

"This quarter further validates our belief that Intellicheck has reached a key inflection point in the evolution of our business and our path to profitability. At our current operating run rate, incremental revenue is expected to flow meaningfully to the bottom line. We believe this demonstrates the leverage in our business model and the successful execution across the organization. We ended the quarter with more than $10 million in cash, no debt, and what we believe is a truly differentiated identity verification platform," said Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues improved to 91.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 89.7% in the same period in 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for certain reductions such as restructuring severance expenses, interest and other income, provisions for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial results with other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation, as well as non-operating charges for interest and provisions for income taxes, investors can evaluate our operations and can compare the results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures that management uses to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of our operational strength and performance of our business and a useful measure of our historical operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes restructuring severance expenses, interest and other income, provisions for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, all of which impact our profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization related to the use of long-term assets which benefit multiple periods. We believe that these limitations are compensated by providing Adjusted EBITDA only with GAAP net income (loss) and clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by us may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other companies.

Adjusted Gross Profit

We use Adjusted Gross Profit as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated by adjusting gross profit for the reduction of amortization expense. Adjusted Gross Profit is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit is important because it focuses on the current operating performance, as amortization expense does not accurately reflect the current costs required to maintain the operational usage of our service. Rather, amortization expense reflects the allocation of historical software development costs over their estimated useful lives.

As an indicator of our operating performance, Adjusted Gross Profit should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, gross profit as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Adjusted Gross Profit in the same manner.
