Following their ready remarks, we’ll take questions from our analysts and institutional traders. At the moment’s name will probably be restricted to 1 hour, and I’ll now flip the decision over to Bryan.

Bryan Lewis

Thanks, Gar. As you noticed within the press launch, This autumn SaaS income was $3,715,000 up 23% over the identical interval in 2020 with the gross revenue as a proportion of revenues at 92%. SaaS income for 2021 was $12,970,000 up 30% over 2020. The year-over-year proportion change was important, however as at all times, I would like extra. So what do we have to do to proceed to speed up our development?

What we’ve got realized over the previous few years is that as a result of we’ve got essentially the most correct validation know-how answer, we’ve got pricing energy with regards to each preliminary contracts and renewals. That mentioned, we’re very a lot conscious that it’s crucial that we proceed to develop a substantive shopper base. We imagine that we’re nicely positioned to realize this objective.

I am going to begin with recapping the transformational modifications we made in 2021 that we imagine will serve us nicely going ahead. First was a buildout of a correct advertising and marketing division. This staff has finished quite a lot of issues to boost each consciousness of Intellicheck and generate inbound leads. In the course of the yr, this staff up to date our branding, rebuilt the web site to actually optimize or being picked up in searches, created advertising and marketing collateral for the gross sales staff and most significantly, created focused on-line advertising and marketing campaigns to if not create an inbound lead, at the least have our title recognized to make it a heat, not a chilly name.

The advertising and marketing campaigns have actually paid off. Previous to the launch of those campaigns in April, we mainly had zero leads coming in. The inbound leads have been steadily rising with the now over 100 a month coming in and growing. Whereas most of those have been for age restricted merchandise, these leads have been throughout all sectors banking, age restricted, automotive, on-line notaries, supply firms, you title it. The smaller age restricted offers closed rapidly whereas the monetary providers and banking prospects take longer.

The inbound age restricted leads closed in 2021 had a complete ACV of $230,000 with minimal price of acquisition. That is stable development in a vertical, contemplating that we did roughly $1 million within the age restricted revenues in 2021. An important factor about all these leads is that they present that the marketplace for identification verification is big throughout a number of and assorted sectors.

The opposite factor to notice about many of those leads is that they’re from firms utilizing the OCR companies, some take into account our opponents. The businesses are unhappy with OCR accuracy, have heard of us and wish to give us a shot. Understanding which have such a big addressable market and the assets to extend headcount of the gross sales power, in 2021, we expanded the gross sales power and we have seen the optimistic results in two methods. First is that smaller offers aren’t falling by the cracks and are closing rapidly whereas every of those offers are alone aren’t sport altering for the corporate, they’re fast and straightforward to shut and ACV will add up over time.

Second, your variety of offers progressing by the pipeline of mid to giant dimension prospects is constant to extend. Nevertheless, like I’ve at all times mentioned, it is not concerning the pipeline, however our potential to shut the offers within the pipeline and let me be candid. I am not pleased with how among the gross sales power has been performing and we’re within the course of of creating the mandatory modifications. We’re going to proceed to develop the gross sales power as we discover the proper candidates.

As I’ve mentioned on a number of calls, hiring salespeople is at all times tough as they’re at all times superb at promoting themselves, however not generally not so good at promoting your product. So a few of our hires are not with us. I’ve instructed Bruce to concentrate on hiring seasoned gross sales executives with identification expertise. To that finish, two extra senior gross sales individuals with trade expertise began earlier in March. I’ve additionally directed Bruce to institute a collection of modifications to improve our gross sales coaching program.

One other important step we took in 2021 was altering our billing to focus totally on pay as you go buckets of transactions that expire after 12 months or a month-to-month minimal with overs construct in arrears. Previous to this, all constructing was in arrears with minimal month-to-month dedication that didn’t come near representing a complete transaction quantity.

Each of the brand new fashions have monetary incentives for our shopper to not underestimate the variety of transactions. The bigger the bucket are assure, the higher the value. Two notable examples of this are monetary providers firm. Quantity 4, who in August pay as you go for what they thought can be a yr’s price of transactions. At finest, we estimate that they’ve 90 days left in that bucket. So mainly what they estimated can be a yr’s price of scans lasted about 9 months.

The second was the reseller that gross sales in omnichannel multibiometric platform to banks, marketplaces and healthcare programs. They pre-purchased 125,000 transactions with the expectation that it could final for a yr. After going stay in January, they had been already midway by that bucket.

We had been capable of proceed to boost costs, each at renewal, and as we add new shoppers. As we focused the age restricted house tougher than we did earlier than, we additionally took a tough take a look at the pricing per transaction. Usually, this was offered by way of an app on a smartphone or pill with pricing per system.

Once we regarded on the value per transaction, we decided it was far too low and moved all new age targeted shoppers to both the transaction bucket or the month-to-month minimal. The outcomes of our efforts is that the transactional value for age people will get shoppers signed in 2021 are on common six occasions increased than in earlier years.

We have additionally modified our gross sales strategy within the age targeted house by making a devoted staff. This group has been tasked with renewing all current shoppers on the increased charges. As I mentioned, age restricted SaaS income accounted for roughly $1 million of our 2021 complete SaaS income and we imagine we’ll see a continued improve in traction by each new prospects and value will increase going ahead.

To additional help the efforts within the gross sales restricted market, we spent important time in 2021 on schooling efforts with legislators in lots of states. We imagine these conferences are extraordinarily essential as a result of most state officers have no idea how straightforward it’s to get a pretend ID.

After I communicate with a state legal professional basic or a legislature member and present them a pretend from their state, scan it with one of many available scanning packages utilized by many POS programs or handheld, and that pretend passes, they instantly notice why visible part and easily scanning don’t work. Seeing our know-how options at work reveals them the necessity for validating after which they acknowledge that the legal guidelines haven’t saved up with the know-how.

We have additionally been assembly with credible organizations which might be energetic on nationwide and multistate stage on key points surrounding underage entry to age restricted merchandise. I am happy to inform you that we have now formalized a partnership with duty.org. This group performs a number one position within the battle to eradicate underage ingesting. It’s energetic in all 50 states, in addition to on the nationwide and native stage. This group is supported by 11 of America shops who’ve expressed a dedication to accountable ingesting. We count on to announce further partnerships ensuing from these endeavors.

Fortunately, an increasing number of firms want to do the proper factor, however there’s nonetheless many main firms on the market that the income forward of really doing the proper factor. Hopefully, the concern of the $60 million plus lawsuits for wrongful loss of life, transfer them to do the proper factor and if not, we imagine that legislative modifications ought to mandate it.

So returning to price will increase, it is very important be aware that these price will increase on renewals proceed to be strong with a lot of them beginning in Q2 of this yr. For instance, throughout This autumn, we renewed our division retailer chain shopper with simply over 1100 places with a 33% improve efficient in Q2 of 2022.

In that very same interval, we renewed the 1,000 location off value division retailer chain, the place we parse not authenticated for functions to a 3 yr yield. Yr one is on the identical value and now consists of the no receipt return use case, which ought to considerably improve transaction volumes. In yr two, the value will increase 87% and in yr three it will increase 33%.

One other development space in each 2020 and 2021 has been digital adoption. This has elevated dramatically and the information bears this out. From the preliminary beta shoppers in early 2019, the variety of shoppers utilizing us solely for the digital channel or for each bodily and digital has grown 550% with greater than 50 digital shoppers throughout a number of market verticals, together with on-line banking, bank card issuers, background checks, supply service and automotive sellers. And as a testomony to our digital capabilities in This autumn, we signed a California primarily based on-line financial institution. This was notable because it was a direct steal from an OCR competitor. Improvement has begun and we anticipate Q3 implementation. The preliminary used case will probably be for account opening.

One other thrilling improvement in late This autumn is that we started a safety audit obligatory to start out a pilot with one other high 5 financial institution. As I mentioned, many occasions, these can typically take six months or extra to finish earlier than their info safety groups enable our computer systems to attach. I am not apprehensive about passing the audit as all of our banking shoppers put us by one yearly. The preliminary used case for this shopper is retail banking, however their groups are already discussing further bodily and digital used circumstances with us.

Now, for what I take into account essentially the most transformational step ahead as we enter 2022. You could have seen the press launch final week about Platform 2.0. This new platform permits our shoppers to do extra than simply authenticate an individual. We now have the instruments in place to take it to the subsequent stage to allow them to not solely ensure that the individual is who they are saying they’re, but in addition decide if the authenticated individual is somebody they wish to do enterprise with.

As I’ve mentioned, this transforms us from an organization doing strictly, is it actually John DOE to, is it actually John DOE? And I do know that he’s somebody I wish to do enterprise with by a number of validation indicators. And I do know it internationally, in addition to domestically. We at present have two shoppers stay on the platform and 7 new and current shoppers onboarding and extra shoppers are actually planning on migrating to the platform.

Remember the fact that platform 2.0 now incorporates a number of facial biometrics distributors permits for OCR validation of worldwide paperwork. And within the subsequent few weeks, we will probably be releasing sanctions, lookups, pep deal with, lookups, social safety lookups with extra SI these to come back. All of those are upsell alternatives. Why is that this new platform essential identification, particularly within the digital world is about greater than an ID. All of our shoppers carry out further diligence earlier than doing enterprise with an individual, whether or not it is opening a checking account, offering a mortgage or bank card or in an funding account.

We additionally know that our shoppers had been pressured to decide on one other ID validation vendor for worldwide paperwork in telecheck was one very correct and essential step in that course of. Once more, only one step for one area on this planet. We imagine that Platform 2.0 permits in telecheck to maneuver from merely a north American ID validation firm to a world identification firm, which is essential because the world evolves and turns into extra digital.

We constructed Platform 2.0 in collaboration with our shoppers and enter from prospect by offering them a number of international steps within the identification course of. Via one connection, we scale back their prices and friction, one thing each firm is on the lookout for. We imagine the variety of shoppers migrating to this platform proves this level. By talking with a quite sensible individual the opposite day, who mentioned to me, there’s a hostile world on the market and he was proper. Hostile actors proceed to extend the quantity of identification theft beneath ingesting, vaping and hashish use proceed to be an issue. We imagine that we’re uniquely positioned to deal with all of those issues.

Now could be about urgent the proper levers to drive continued and growing development and we imagine the modifications we put in place in 2021 are the proper levers. Model consciousness is improved even to fast income within the age restricted house, together with the rising pipeline of monetary providers firms. We imagine of our lobbying efforts to replace ID validation legal guidelines within the age house restricted house will bear fruit over time.

We imagine that our ongoing refinement of our gross sales staff will enable us to capitalize on each current markets, in addition to new verticals the place we’re simply starting to penetrate. The buildout of Platform 2.0 that includes further multinational ID and KYC capabilities we imagine present important alternatives forward each with new and current shoppers.

With all these thrilling developments, tempering this as monetary providers firm quantity two, which not too long ago started a challenge that may allow them to increase credit score to tens of 1000’s of further retailers. This required monetary providers firm quantity two, to place code freeze on all different improvement, which meant a number of retailers which have been anticipated to go stay within the first half of the yr is not going to.

The above described challenge ought to be an interim delay to our short-term development that they count on to renew integrations within the September timeframe. We imagine this short-term ache now represents a possible long run acquire as these new further functions will want validations. That is very probably going to impression our Q1 outcomes and though we nonetheless have a number of weeks remaining within the quarter, we at present anticipate our first quarter SaaS revenues will probably be within the vary of $3.2 million to $3.35 million.

Shifting ahead, I am completely happy to say as a part of a basic enterprise assessment, we analyzed churn price. And since 2018, the corporate has not misplaced in single main shopper to something aside from chapter and all of the monetary providers shoppers have grown their use circumstances.

I imagine the explanation for mainly zero return is a certainty we offer. And I at all times assume it is best when your shoppers say it for you. In order Lieutenant Joe jewel of the brand new Han Hanover county, North Carolina Sheriff’s workplace instructed the port metropolis every day information about our know-how options. He mentioned it labored flawlessly. He went on to say the Sheriff’s workplace examined 12 firms that claimed to have the ability to spot pretend IDs and clever verify was the one one which labored precisely. I’ve by no means heard anybody say that concerning the competitors.

I’ll now flip the decision over to Invoice who will go over our This autumn financials.

Operator

[Operator instructions] Our first query comes from line of Mike Grondahl with Northland Securities. Please proceed along with your query.

Michael Grondahl

Yeah, thanks guys and good afternoon. As you discuss 2.0 platform, what are possibly the three most essential options that gives or the couple issues that shoppers appear to understand essentially the most about it?

A – Bryan Lewis

I might say, hey, Mike, good speaking to you? I’d say the flexibility to do worldwide is one thing that quite a lot of the shoppers have been asking us about. After which type of, all of them come collectively in a approach, I suppose one bit can be the flexibility to do extra of the KYC portion of what must be finished. I believe that actually additionally opens up different markets for us like brokerage companies and different issues that have to register individuals.

After which the flexibility to tie into issues that once more is it actually me or, am I lifeless or not? So Social Safety databases telephone guide replace databases, and deal with, search for databases to tie issues all collectively. So these appear to be the three issues that individuals are asking about most. After which once more, the opposite factor I might say, which is extra of a selection issue is a few individuals are specific about who they wish to use for facial recognition relying on how nicely, they assume that firm handles demographic bias within the outcomes.

Michael Grondahl

Received it. After which Bryan, what did you say about shoppers migrating? I do not know in case you mentioned a quantity or simply an curiosity stage, after which is there a median elevate in value as a shopper migrates?

Bryan Lewis

So there’s initially no elevate in value. It says they get in, get examined after which convey within the different providers, which we’re a reseller of. So at present we’ve got a model new shopper who’s stay on the system, simply hasn’t gone stay with their shoppers but. We have got an current shopper who’s stay on the system. We have got seven in numerous, which might be in what, energetic improvement or UAT.

After which we have, a bunch extra who are actually going by the specs and planning on for once they had been throughout. A part of the factor is it does make it simpler for them. Previous to this, after we modified issues, we introduced out say possibly a distinction trigger we’ve got switched facial recognition distributors is required programming on their aspect. Now we have made it a lot easier for them as a result of it is form of a standardized to get any of the opposite merchandise that we’d should be including to it and doubtlessly promoting to them.

Operator

Our subsequent query comes from Scott Buck with H.C. Wainwright. Please proceed along with your query.

Scott Buck

Good afternoon guys. I am curious, Bryan, have you learnt off the highest of your head, what identical retailer volumes regarded like through the fourth quarter versus a yr in the past, making an attempt to find out of the 27% or so yr over yr development, what is definitely new enterprise versus, possibly a COVID pickup from late 2020?

Bryan Lewis

The identical retailer gross sales had been simply barely beneath the place they had been. So it was — there was a good elevate once more, getting again to regular final yr. I might say that very same retailer gross sales had been very, very shut. So the elevate throughout them would’ve been the identical quarter of 1 / 4 after which the remaining would’ve been new enterprise.

Scott Buck

Okay. That is that that is useful. And I used to be questioning in case you might present slightly little bit of further coloration on this monetary service shopper who’s including the tens of 1000’s of retailers. I suppose, how does one go about doing that?

Bryan Lewis

How are they doing it?

Scott Buck

Yeah, I suppose it looks like a comparatively huge quantity to type of discover within the sofa cushions.

Bryan Lewis

That is, I am taking a look at what, , what they’re saying of their public statements about what it would do. However mainly it is a play within the digital bank card house they usually’re connecting to a system that’s utilized by quite a lot of, , small retailers on the market who promote possibly excessive worth, excessive greenback merchandise the place individuals would possibly need to have the ability to get an immediate bank card, however no person’s going to provide them a white label card.

They do not do sufficient of it. I take a look at it as very a lot akin to what’s an monetary providers firm primary does with their retailers, however they do not do any connectivity. This technique is mainly the purpose of sale system that so many of those retailers use and they are going to tie into it to supply credit score to all of them by these use digital bank cards. So it is a huge elevate for them to do that, they usually’re taking a look at it as a good way to increase their credit score portfolio. And we all know for one factor that they actually like what we do and being a part of that course of will probably be essential.

Scott Buck

Scott Buck

Okay. That is good guys. I respect the time. Thanks.

Operator

Our subsequent query comes from Jeff Van Rhee with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please proceed along with your query. Excuse me, Jeff, your line is now stay.

Jeff Van Rhee

Sorry about that guys. So yeah couple for me, I believe on fin service quantity two, can you place slightly finer level when it comes to the impression on Q1 of their freeze and positively early, however any swags that type of This autumn potential upside they’re doing simply making an attempt to place a number of bounds round what the impression of this code freeze is.

Billy White

Yeah. So trigger they put this code freeze on, I believe type of in November is once they actually instructed us about it so loads, and it impacted two issues. It impacted quite a lot of retailers that you simply we will go stay one. jewellery firm owns quite a lot of totally different firms. One acquired stay, however the remaining did not make their reduce off. So, I’d say that was all of it of it?

No. Was it nearly all of it? I’d most likely hazard the reply is sure. Then it will be what might be finished? How briskly can they get this trial course of finished? What they’re seeking to do on the again finish and get again to working with all the opposite tasks. Definitely they take into account the precedence to get us up and operating and stay as a result of it is cash proper to their purchase on-line.

It is only a matter of do they begin in August? Do they begin in September? Do they begin in late September? As a result of it’s going to rely then when the retailers going to their level of sale code freeze, on the finish of October or the start, normally the primary or second week of November. So at this time limit, I haven’t got sufficient coloration to say what is going on to occur on the again finish of the yr. Nevertheless it wasn’t main, nevertheless it wasn’t minor, nevertheless it actually, I believe it was a portion of the miss that we see from the place we thought we might do.

Jeff Van Rhee

So took all their assets. They’d fairly the listing of their account managers speaking to our account supervisor. They’d actually a pleasant ramp of shoppers that that they had thought had been going to be gone, however now they are not till, at the least later within the yr.

Jeff Van Rhee

Yep. For sufficient after which, after which…

Billy White

And I’ll say additionally I’m very excited concerning the alternative. I believe it is painful now, however we all know the enterprise that we see from, what we are able to generate off of monetary providers firm, primary, the place they pay us instantly for the service. That is going to be, I am hoping one system built-in to all of those individuals’s type of gross sales programs that may enable for lots extra credit score apps coming by the system.

Jeff Van Rhee

Yeah. That is useful. Two, two fast housekeepers when it comes to implementations within the quarter, what number of implementations, after which are you able to get us an replace on digital? It appears like I believe you talked about 50 prospects give me a way of what % of revenues is now digital?

Billy White

Type of again of the envelope and that is and once more, I at all times level out that is at all times low as a result of one in all our huge shoppers they have one pipe to us that goes to all of their processes within the place. So we do not know if it is the digital or not digital. They will put a tag on it at some point for us. So we all know what’s what. So it excludes this shopper who’s a really huge shopper, nevertheless it’s about 10% of the revenues proper now and I ought to make clear 10% of the non-age restricted revenues is absolutely this very, little or no that is doing something age restricted digitally in the mean time, aside from begin some supply shoppers who’re starting to develop.

Implementations for the quarter typically This autumn is close to zero implementation quarter anyway for something in dimension as a result of we’re hitting that code freeze the place no person’s going to do something. We did have the, one of many a number of jewellery shops — jewellery chains by that one holding firm. Did go stay after which and quite a lot of smaller issues like some automotive sellers and different issues like that. However the one is dimension can be that one jeweller, which usually once more, This autumn we do not actually do not do main implementations.

Jeff Van Rhee

You okay. Useful then possibly..

Billy White

One different fast factor although, can be, I forgot about this in that quarter, monetary providers firm, quantity 4 actually did start their rollout to their retail branches in earnest. And so they’re rolling it out in methods each week they usually count on that to be finished generally subsequent.

Jeff Van Rhee

Okay. That is useful. Then only one final for me. You commented a number of occasions about gross sales and positively we’re listening to that throughout the board, very, very onerous to seek out gross sales expertise, and however to place a finer level on what simply I believe final quarter you had a rep rely of 11, eight seniors, three juniors, and I do know you are including reps and it sounds such as you type of did a cease and a reset, simply put slightly finer level on what does the reset appear to be? Like what number of heads did you let go? What number of you mentioned you had simply added a pair, the place can we stand after which how lengthy until these new reps actually ramp to productiveness?

Billy White

We stand at 10 proper now. I believe that the reps that we simply began I believe due to their expertise and the place they got here from will most likely be, be productive loads prior to reps who did not come from this trade. So, , usually I’d say that in case you’re not seeing productiveness out of a rep inside, , say six months, that at the least they’re, they’re getting conferences, reserving conferences, and people forms of issues that different individuals can come assist them with, they’re most likely not going to make it.

I’d count on these guys, we going to see one thing faster than that. I am already seeing, they’re getting conferences and, and which is nice. So both simply the flexibility to know the, the trade they usually’re calling the proper individuals they usually’re stepping into new prospects, or they know individuals who possibly weren’t so pleased with the answer is that they offered in earlier and now they will resolve one thing that they know works a heck of loads higher. So I believe they will be faster.

So we’re at 10 now. So, I believe three ended up not figuring out. However the nature of the beast anymore in hiring individuals as you mentioned, throughout the board subject, each one in all my associates who’s telling me, they’re having a tough time discovering individuals, however we’re working onerous at.

Jeff Van Rhee

Our subsequent query comes from Rudy Kessinger with D.A. Davidson & Co.. Please proceed along with your query.

Rudy Kessinger

Sure. Thanks for taking my questions. I suppose I am going to possibly ask it once more on Q1. Are you able to quantify a bit clear how huge of the impression from that code freeze with fin serve two is, or we’re speaking about 100,000, 200,000 on Q1. After which simply at this level, do you’ve gotten any visibility into the potential income dimension of that challenge as soon as they get it stay to these tens of 1000’s of outlets?

Billy White

Properly, what I might say is, I could not inform you precisely what the impression is as a result of it will be an assumption of what they instructed us and what we thought. So I do not know. All I can, with out saying this is what our targets had been for the quarter, which we actually do not give. It was a number of retailers of first rate dimension.

Rudy Kessinger

Received it. After which I suppose the second a part of that query, simply on the challenge to get, it into the POS programs with the tens of thousand retailers, I do know it is, it is actually a brand new challenge for them too, however at this level, do you’ve gotten any thought simply the scope or, or potential aspect that that challenge could possibly be when it comes to income?

Billy White

Yeah, and I am taking a look at that is most likely can be, , positively latter half of the yr earlier than any of that got here in, relying on how briskly they get this challenge finished. If I take a look at how typically these smaller retailers that, appear to be the same kind as monetary providers firm, primary. They will do wherever from, 5 to 50 functions a month. So any one in all them shouldn’t be that huge, however I am taking a look at this as if you will get that throughout, even half of that shopper base the numbers might add up.

Rudy Kessinger

And then you definitely talked about in earlier you had, in case you might simply make clear, you mentioned, I believe it was a safety audit pilot with one other new high 5 financial institution. Might you simply make clear what precisely it was? After which in case you take a look at that high 5 financial institution, how does it examine when it comes to the full scope of alternative relative to the opposite high 10 banks that you have already got signed them on?

Billy White

If I take a look at these, they’re, , in, within the high proportion of banks, when it comes to accounts bank cards, all these issues. So there are main high 5 financial institution, so I am fairly enthusiastic about it. You realize, the factor is it is simply coping with any financial institution, irrespective of of what the scale and it appears to worsen. The larger they’re is you have to get by this safety audit.

The parents that we’re coping with on the enterprise aspect are tremendous excited. You realize, one of many individuals who’s now very closely concerned within the challenge was doing the identical factor at one in all our different shoppers earlier than shifting to this financial institution. So the enterprise individuals are very excited.

Now, it is only a matter of creating certain that we’ve got the data safety individuals, snug and as enthusiastic about us as we’re about what we might do for them and that our safe procedures, since they’ve already handed so many different banks actually ought to meet theirs as nicely. It is simply, they, each single one in all them ask the identical query, only a totally different approach. So it isn’t like you possibly can standardize, right here you go. Here is our report. All of them have their very own little idiosyncrasy.

Rudy Kessinger

Received it. That is it for me to questions.
