“2025 has been a transformational year for authID, and we continued to make strong progress in the third quarter,” said Rhon Daguro, authID’s Chief Executive Officer. “While we’ve taken deliberate steps to focus our pipeline on large enterprise accounts and navigate short-term revenue impacts, our growing momentum with some of the world’s most respected enterprises and technology partners underscores the strength of our platform and strategy. Over the past year, we’ve evolved from a promising technology concept into a trusted partner for global leaders in retail, finance, and identity security. The validation we’re seeing from companies like NESIC, Prove, MajorKey, and a top-tier global retailer confirms that authID’s biometric authentication and Agentic AI security technologies are setting new standards for accountability and trust.”

Recent Business and Operational Highlights

• Signed a full production agreement with a top 20 global retailer based in Europe, for authID’s solution to secure its identity verification and password reset system, initially for its back office workforce, with a view to expansion into their retail stores worldwide. This followed a successful live production trial of our solution. By being adopted by one of the world’s largest retailers, authID is proving that enterprises can effectively protect their workforce with authID’s cutting-edge biometric technology that puts privacy first. This deployment represents meaningful validation that authID’s products meet enterprise customers’ demands for state-of-the-art digital identity.
  
  
• Launched Identity Exchange or IDX™, one of the biggest advances in the identity industry, with NESIC, a subsidiary of NEC Corporation, a leader in integrated IT and network solutions for digital transformation. IDX provides enterprise scalability and identity assurance for distributed workforces and supply chain, and biometrically secures humans, robots, and AI Agents. The lack of accountability and trust in the use of Agentic AI technology, is a huge concern for Enterprise CEOs that currently limits its full scale use in their companies. Without the proper governance and controls in place, companies risk massive operational impacts and financial liabilities. By binding the human identity to the AI Agent, IDX provides the needed accountability to allow Agentic AI solutions to operate in Enterprise networks with trust and security. This launch dramatically increases the Company’s total addressable market in the identity management and the Agentic AI industry.
  
  
• Signed an agreement for the first phase of a multi-phase strategy to integrate authID’s identity verification and biometric authentication into NESIC’s Symphonict Trust platform, providing a means to onboard both the enterprise workforce and consumers in the Japanese market.
  
  
• Signed an agreement with MajorKey Technologies, a premier identity security company and certified Microsoft Entra Suite services partner, to bring authID’s innovative Proof technology to Microsoft customers worldwide. MajorKey just announced IDProof+ developed in collaboration with authID.
  
  
• Entered into an agreement in October 2025 with a digital infrastructure platform powering financial institutions to modernize and compete in today’s digital-first banking landscape. The fintech will integrate authID’s Proof^TM and PrivacyKey^TM technologies into its universal onboarding and customer-management platform, extending secure, frictionless identity verification and reauthentication to more than 100 banks with assets ranging from $10 billion to $150 billion. The first bank is on target to go live this year.
  
  
• Signed an agreement with The Pipeline Group, a fast growing lead generation company that will use authID to onboard remote workers, monitor worker activity, and authenticate remote workers into their core systems. This represents an entry point for authID solutions into the growing lead generation market.
  
  
• Signed an agreement with an international bank for identity onboarding and identity verification and authentication.
  
  

Financial Results for the Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

Gross revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.6 million, compared with $0.2 million a year ago. Net revenue, which reflects estimated concessions in the third quarter totaling $0.7 million, was negative $(0.1) million, compared with $0.2 million a year ago. Total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.6 million, compared to $0.7 million in the year-ago period. Our gross and net revenue were impacted by certain accounting adjustments required to reflect challenges with two particular customer contracts, as further explained in the Third Quarter financial statements filed today.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $5.1 million, compared to $3.8 million a year ago. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $15.7 million, compared with $10.7 million in the year-ago period. The 2025 increase is primarily due to increased headcount and continued investment in sales and R&D.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $5.2 million, of which non-cash charges were $1.1 million, compared with a net loss of $3.4 million a year ago, of which non-cash charges were $0.6 million. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $13.9 million, of which non-cash charges were $2.7 million, compared with a net loss of $9.7 million a year ago, of which non-cash charges were $2.2 million.

Loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.38, compared with $0.31 a year ago. Loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.11, compared with $0.97 a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with a loss of $2.9 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with a loss of $7.8 million a year ago. The increase in adjusted EBITDA loss is primarily driven by the increase in headcount investment in sales and R&D. Please refer to Table 1 for reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure).

Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) as of September 30, 2025, was $3.6 million, of which $0.5 million is held as deferred revenue and $3.1 million is related to other non-cancellable contracted amounts, compared to RPO of $3.8 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company expects to recognize the full RPO of $3.6 million over the entire life of the contracts.

The gross amount of Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, (a non-GAAP measure, as defined below), signed in the second quarter of 2025 was $0.2 million, down from $1.2 million of gross bARR a year ago. The net amount of bARR was a negative $6.8 million, compared to $0.01 million of net bARR signed in the comparable period in 2024. The Q3 bARR is comprised of $0.11 million in Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR) and $0.08 million in estimated Usage Above Commitments (UAC).

The net amount of bARR reflects the deduction of the bARR of contracts previously included in reported bARR, due to certain customers experiencing delays in Production Go-Live timing, volume ramping and challenges meeting their contractual obligations.

The amount of Annual Recurring Revenue or ARR, (a non-GAAP measure, as defined below) as of September 30, 2025 was $1.7 million, compared to $1.0 million of ARR as of Q3 2024.

See below for further definition and explanation of ARR and bARR, non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this statement. These non-GAAP key business indicators, which include Adjusted EBITDA, bARR and ARR should not be considered replacements for and should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our Company and our management.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense and debt discount and debt issuance costs amortization expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.

Please see Table 1 below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA – continuing operations to net loss – continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that bARR and ARR, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provide useful information about the direction of future growth trends of the Company’s revenues. We also rely on bARR as one of several primary measures to review and assess the sales performance of our Company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation. The Company defines Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, as the amount of annual recurring revenue represented by the estimated amounts of annual recurring revenue we believe will be earned under contracted orders, looking out eighteen months from the date of signing of each customer contract. This estimate is comprised of two components (1) Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR), which represents the minimum amounts that customers are contractually committed to pay each year over the life of the contract and (2) Usage Above Commitments (UAC), which represents our estimate of the rate of annual recurring revenue arising from actual usage of our services above the contractual minimums, that we believe the Customer will achieve after 18 months. The net amount of bARR reflects the deduction of the bARR of contracts previously included in reported bARR, which were subject to attrition, or other downward adjustments during the quarter.

The Company defines Annual Recurring Revenue or ARR, as the amount of recurring revenue recognized during the last three months of the relevant period as determined in accordance with GAAP, multiplied by four.

bARR may be distinguished from ARR, as bARR does not take specifically into account the time to implement any contract for authID’s services, nor for any ramp in adoption, or seasonality of usage of our biometric products but is based on the assumption that 18 months after signing these matters will have been generally resolved. Furthermore, bARR is based on estimates of future revenues under particular contracts, whereas ARR, whilst also forward-looking, is based on historical revenues recognized in accordance with GAAP during the relevant period. A reconciliation of bARR and ARR to a GAAP measure is not provided as there are no comparable GAAP measures and we believe that any attempt at such reconciliation may be confusing to investors. bARR and ARR have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• bARR & ARR should not be considered as predictors of future revenues but only as indicators of the direction in which revenues may be trending. Actual revenue results in the future as determined in accordance with GAAP may be significantly different to the amounts indicated as bARR or ARR at any time.
  
• bARR and ARR are to be considered “forward-looking statements” and subject to the same risks, as other such statements (see note on “Forward-Looking Statements” above).
