Management Commentary

“In the third quarter of 2021, our growth momentum continued, positioning us for a strong finish to 2021 and an exciting 2022, especially within our Identity segment, driven primarily by RFID growth,” said Identiv CEO Steven Humphreys. “We grew total revenue by 17% and our Identity business grew by 21%. In Q3, we made progress solidifying our competitive position in RFID, which continues to be our long-term growth driver. This includes launching our NFC Software Development Kit to high industry interest, to support developers as they integrate NFC-based RFID into their apps. We expanded our world-class, global RFID team, and are on track to double headcount in technical sales and business development, adding some of the best talent in the industry. We expanded our growing list of RFID customers with new design wins and use cases, especially in health care and medical devices, while our transformational RFID projects progressed. Due to effective supply chain management, we were able to deliver on every customer order.

“Our Premises business performed well, highlighted by a 13% sequential increase in sales. Federal government sales continued to grow, with 16% sequential growth, part of a long-term growth trend in federal government security spending. Premises software, services and recurring revenues contributed over 22% of Premises revenues, while commercial sales accelerated across travel, retail banking and other verticals. With the emphasis on improved physical security in federal, state and local governments, and the trend towards consolidating security vendors, we expect strong demand for our complete line of Premises security products to continue.

“Fast operational execution enabled us to make great progress in Q3 in our key focus areas – growing our RFID business and strengthening our position as an industry leader, driving demand in the federal market, and increasing our revenue predictability. With a strong, debt-free balance sheet to support our NFC growth, we entered Q4 with a total backlog up 51% versus a year ago, and in the first three weeks of Q4 we’ve booked over $7.5 million in new orders, 46% higher than last year in the same period. With this momentum, we believe we’re on track to meet our growth guidance in 2021 and outlook for 2022. With our current visibility, and with several transformational projects in our pipeline, we’re confident that our business momentum will continue well into the future.”

Financial Outlook

Identiv provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. Momentum exiting the third quarter of 2021, combined with the strong backlog growth, gives management confidence in the Company’s growth expectations for fiscal year 2021 and 2022.
