經常性收入同比增長14%,達到590萬。

管理層評論

「Aware在2024年上半年的表現強調了我們對增長和運營改善的承諾,」Aware的首席執行官兼總裁Robert Eckel表示。“我們實現了17%的營收增長,這得益於新客戶的獲取和與現有客戶的關係拓展。我們的策略性成本管理使費用同比減少了8%,提高了我們的底線表現,爲實現盈利鋪平了道路。

 

在年初的前半段,我們在覈心市場和產品組合中獲得了若干重要交易,增強了我們的經常性收入流,並提升了財務可預測性。Aware憑藉我們的多模式可配置生物識別產品,已經爲長期增長做好了良好的準備。隨着機會管道的穩健擴展,經常性收入的增長以及優化的運營,Aware有望在2024年實現高效的雙位數增長,並在2025年帶來可持續的正現金流。”

2024年第二季度財務結果

2024年第二季度的營業收入爲430萬美元,較去年同期的320萬美元增長。營業收入的增加主要由於經常性收入增加了60萬美元以及在歐洲對現有客戶進行擴展銷售所驅動的50萬美元的許可證銷售。

2024年第二季度的淨虧損總額爲110萬美元,或每股攤薄虧損$(0.05),相比之下,去年同期的淨虧損爲270萬美元,或每股攤薄虧損$(0.13)。

2024年第二季度的經調整EBITDA虧損(如下所示的非GAAP指標)總額爲100萬美元,而去年同期的經調整EBITDA虧損爲240萬美元。經調整EBITDA的同比改善主要是由於收入增加和營業費用的減少。

截至2024年6月30日,現金、現金等價物和可交易證券總額爲2740萬美元,相較於2023年12月31日的3090萬美元。

 

2024年六個月財務業績
截至2024年6月30日的六個月營業收入增加了17%,達870萬美元,而去年同期爲750萬美元。營業收入的增加主要由於經常性收入增加了60萬美元以及對現有客戶進行擴展銷售所驅動的50萬美元的許可證銷售。

營業費用同比減少了100萬美元,或下降8%,降至1130萬美元,而去年的營業費用爲1230萬美元,這得益於公司持續的成本削減措施。

截至2024年6月30日的六個月淨虧損總計爲210萬,或每股攤薄虧損$(0.10),相比之下,去年同期的淨虧損爲420萬,或每股攤薄虧損$(0.20)。

截至2024年6月30日的調整後EBITDA虧損(一個非GAAP指標,見下文對賬)改善至190萬,而去年同期的調整後EBITDA虧損爲380萬。調整後EBITDA虧損的改善主要歸因於營業收入的增加和成本的降低。

非公認會計准則指標

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
