经常性收入同比增长14%,达到590万。

管理层评论

“Aware在2024年上半年的表现强调了我们对增长和运营改善的承诺,”Aware的首席执行官兼总裁Robert Eckel表示。“我们实现了17%的营收增长,这得益于新客户的获取和与现有客户的关系拓展。我们的策略性成本管理使费用同比减少了8%,提高了我们的底线表现,为实现盈利铺平了道路。

 

在年初的前半段,我们在核心市场和产品组合中获得了若干重要交易,增强了我们的经常性收入流,并提升了财务可预测性。Aware凭借我们的多模式可配置生物识别产品,已经为长期增长做好了良好的准备。随着机会管道的稳健扩展,经常性收入的增长以及优化的运营,Aware有望在2024年实现高效的双位数增长,并在2025年带来可持续的正现金流。”

2024年第二季度财务结果

2024年第二季度的营业收入为430万美元,较去年同期的320万美元增长。营业收入的增加主要由于经常性收入增加了60万美元以及在欧洲对现有客户进行扩展销售所驱动的50万美元的许可证销售。

2024年第二季度的净亏损总额为110万美元,或每股摊薄亏损$(0.05),相比之下,去年同期的净亏损为270万美元,或每股摊薄亏损$(0.13)。

2024年第二季度的经调整EBITDA亏损(如下所示的非GAAP指标)总额为100万美元,而去年同期的经调整EBITDA亏损为240万美元。经调整EBITDA的同比改善主要是由于收入增加和营业费用的减少。

截至2024年6月30日,现金、现金等价物和可交易证券总额为2740万美元,相较于2023年12月31日的3090万美元。

 

2024年六个月财务业绩
截至2024年6月30日的六个月营业收入增加了17%,达870万美元,而去年同期为750万美元。营业收入的增加主要由于经常性收入增加了60万美元以及对现有客户进行扩展销售所驱动的50万美元的许可证销售。

营业费用同比减少了100万美元,或下降8%,降至1130万美元,而去年的营业费用为1230万美元,这得益于公司持续的成本削减措施。

截至2024年6月30日的六个月净亏损总计为210万,或每股摊薄亏损$(0.10),相比之下,去年同期的净亏损为420万,或每股摊薄亏损$(0.20)。

截至2024年6月30日的调整后EBITDA亏损(一个非GAAP指标,见下文对账)改善至190万,而去年同期的调整后EBITDA亏损为380万。调整后EBITDA亏损的改善主要归因于营业收入的增加和成本的降低。

非公认会计准则指标

We define adjusted EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net loss plus depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, other (expense) income, net, and income tax provision. We discuss adjusted EBITDA in our quarterly earnings releases and certain other communications, as we believe adjusted EBITDA is an important measure. We use adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that the adjusted EBITDA financial measure assists in providing an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. We believe that the adjusted EBITDA adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making.

We define recurring revenue as the portion of Aware revenue that is based on a term arrangement and is likely to continue in the future, such as annual maintenance or subscription contracts. We use recurring revenue as a metric to communicate the portion of our revenue that has greater stability and predictability. We believe that recurring revenue assists in providing an enhanced understanding of effectiveness of our efforts to transition to a subscription-based business model.

We define ARR as the amount of annualized recurring revenue that is likely to continue in the future, such as annual maintenance and subscription contracts. We use ARR as a metric to assess the trajectory of our recurring revenue and we believe that ARR assists in providing an enhanced understanding of effectiveness of our efforts to transition to a subscription-based business model.

Adjusted EBITDA and recurring revenue are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the financial adjustments described above in arriving at adjusted EBITDA and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. The following table includes the reconciliations of our U.S. GAAP net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to our adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and our
