Commenting on the results, James DeBello, Chairman and CEO of Mitek, said:

"Our record revenue was driven by continued growth from our industry leading identity verification and mobile check deposit products, contributing to another strong quarter for Mitek. Our identity solutions squarely address the large and growing consumer identity and access management market and are a significant growth driver for Mitek as businesses look to optimize the digital channel for new customer on-boarding, payments and authentication. Additionally, our mobile deposit solution continues to lead the market as financial institutions drive their customers to the lower cost mobile channel. Our market momentum and competitive advantages in these two growing markets, as well as our strong balance sheet, position us well for continued growth this year and for years to come."

Fiscal 2017 Financial Guidance

For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, the Company expects full year total revenue to be between $44 million and $45 million, which would represent growth between 27% and 30% year over year. The Company expects to generate a non-GAAP profit margin of at least 20% for fiscal 2017.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share that exclude stock compensation expenses, intellectual property litigation costs and acquisition-related costs and 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, which helps identify trends in the Company's underlying business and provides a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business.
