Mitek Systems reports Q1 adjusted EPS 14c, consensus 18c

Reports Q1 revenue $36.9M, conensus $39.02M. “As previously discussed, in the first quarter of last year we had a large one-time multi-year mobile deposit reorder that pulled forward about $7 million of future year revenue into that quarter, including $2.7 million that would have been recognized in fiscal Q1’24, creating a very difficult year over year comparison,” said CEO Max Carnecchia. “It’s important to note that this quarter’s results are not representative of a business trend, in fact, to the contrary. With our fiscal 2024 guidance, which we are reiterating today, we expect our Deposits product revenue to grow 10 to 12% year over year on a normalized basis and our Identity product revenue to grow 10 to 12% year over year. We anticipate that much of this growth will occur in the second half of the fiscal year, with growth continuing in fiscal 2025. Having achieved product market fit with our new products, including Check Fraud Defender, MiVIP, MiPass and ID R&D biometrics software products, we have several growth drivers in place leveraging advanced AI and machine learning to meet evolving customer needs to enhance trust and convenience in digital interactions.”
