SAN DIEGO, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/14/16 — ImageWare Systems, Inc. (ImageWare or IWS) (OTCQB: IWSY), a leader in mobile and cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, has issued financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, as well as a corporate update to highlight the company–s progress since its last quarterly update on August 9, 2016.
Debuted the first ever multi-modal biometric authentication solution for the Microsoft Ecosystem.
Partnered with Fortscale Security to provide the industry–s first integrated biometric solution powered by user and entity behavior analytics.
Integrated GoVerifyID® with SAP HANA® Cloud Platform, providing SAP users with multi-modal biometric user authentication for various applications.
Partnered with Fujitsu to provide integration of GoVerifyID for their Smart Origination product offering.
Entered into a three-year OEM engagement with Aurionpro to integrate GoVerifyID with their Digital Branch DX-multi service Kiosk.
“We forged several key partnerships during the third quarter while building upon our product offerings,” said Jim Miller, ImageWare–s chairman and CEO. “We joined forces with Fortscale Security to provide new levels of account security to the global enterprise security market, integrated GoVerifyID with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, and expanded our strong partnership with Fujitsu to provide our technology for their Fujitsu Smart Origination Offering.
“As announced earlier today, we introduced GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite, the first ever end-to-end, cloud-based biometric platform that quickly and seamlessly integrates with the Microsoft infrastructure. This is a truly revolutionary, scalable and affordable solution that will provide corporations with an unprecedented level of security. Moreover, this plugin to the Microsoft infrastructure can be deployed in just a matter of hours, which is an incredible feat at this level of scale. Given the magnitude of Microsoft enterprise users, we see a considerable opportunity as GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite is backward compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10.
“As we close out the year and look ahead to 2017, we plan to continue executing our go-to-market strategy and capitalize on the growing adoption of biometrics, both at the commercial and enterprise level.”
Total revenues in the third quarter of 2016 were $0.8 million compared to $1.2 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease of $0.4 million was primarily due to non-recurring revenue in the 2015 period from certain identity management projects.
Gross margin in the third quarter of 2016 was 72.6% compared to 72.8% in the year-ago quarter.
Net loss in the third quarter of 2016 was $2.4 million or $(0.03) per basic share, compared to $1.9 million or $(0.02) per basic share in the year-ago quarter.
On September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.7 million compared to $3.4 million on December 31, 2015. Total debt was $2.1 million compared to no debt at December 31, 2015.
