current backlog combined with the historical trend of government fiscal year-end spending, the strong secular growth we’re experiencing in RFID, work-from-home going into a second wave of demand, and the products we’ve launched to take advantage of return-to-work needs have built the base for a very strong second half of 2020 and 2021.”
Sandra Wallach, Identiv CFO, added: “During the second quarter, we generated $19.1 million in revenue driven mostly by an 18% sequential increase in our Identity business, our transponder business grew 36% quarter-over-quarter and 23% sequentially, and we increased our backlog by 140% year-over-year. Due to the initiatives we undertook at the start of this year to bolster the business and our ability to weather the challenges of a difficult operating environment, we continue to see a path to our original revenue guidance, and we believe we stand well positioned to capitalize on the growing opportunities we see in the second half of the year.”
