SAN DIEGO – November 6, 2014 - Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MITK, www.miteksystems.com), the leading innovator of mobile imaging for financial transactions and identity, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2014, which ended September 30, 2014.

“We ended fiscal 2014 with record quarterly revenue of $5.5 million, leading to GAAP and Non-GAAP profitability. Record annual revenue of $19.2 million was largely driven by Mitek’s Mobile Deposit, which is now licensed by over 3,000 financial institutions and used by an estimated 33 million Americans,” said James B. DeBello, president and CEO of Mitek. “Continuing to focus on Mobile Deposit, Mobile Photo Account Opening and identity capture solutions, we are positioning our mobile imaging platform to help institutions serve the burgeoning wave of mobile consumers.”

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $5.5 million compared to total revenue of $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Total revenue for fiscal 2014 was $19.2 million compared to $14.8 million in fiscal 2013, driven by continued strong demand for Mitek’s Mobile Deposit® product.

GAAP net income (loss) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $2,050, or break-even per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income (loss) of $(1.5) million, or $(0.05) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. GAAP net income (loss) for fiscal 2014 was $(5.3) million, or $(0.17) per share, compared to GAAP net income (loss) of $(7.3) million, or $(0.26) per share, in fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income (loss) of $(0.1) million, or breakeven per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Non-GAAP net income (loss) for fiscal 2014 was $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income (loss) of $(2.1) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in fiscal 2013.


Total operating costs and expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $5.6 million compared to $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Total operating expenses for fiscal 2014 were $24.6 million compared to $22.1 million in fiscal 2013. The year-over-year increase in total operating expenses was primarily driven by higher investments in personnel to grow the business as well as litigation expense related to protecting the Company’s intellectual property.

The Company ended fiscal 2014 with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $26.1 million, compared to $29.0 million at the end of fiscal 2013.

Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this news release relating to the Company’s or management’s intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future, including, but not limited to, statements relating to the Company’s long-term prospects and market opportunities beyond the financial services market 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 Company’s ability to continue to develop, produce and introduce innovative new products in a timely manner or the outcome of any pending or threatened litigation and the timing of the launch of Mobile Deposit® 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, 2013 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-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share that exclude stock compensation expenses and intellectual property litigation expenses. These financial measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (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 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 financials, 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, identifying trends in the Company’s underlying business and performing related trend analyses, and they provide a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business.
