MELVILLE, NY – March 16, 2021 -- Intellicheck, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDN), an industry leader in identification authentication solutions, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2020. Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 grew 6% to $3,078,000 versus $2,896,000 in the prior year comparable period. Quarter over Quarter SaaS revenue for the fourth quarter grew 18% and totaled $3,012,000 versus $2,557,000 in the prior year comparable period and grew 23% sequentially over the third quarter of 2020.
CEO Bryan Lewis said, “We continued to show solid growth with total revenue for fiscal year 2020 up 40% over 2019 and SaaS revenue up 54% during the same period. During the fourth quarter, total revenue was up 6% over fourth quarter 2019, but more importantly, SaaS revenue was up 18% over the same period. Sequentially, fourth quarter SaaS revenue was up 23% versus third quarter 2020. We believe that given COVID-19, and the impact on store traffic, those numbers bode well for the future.”
Lewis noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has served to fuel what were already surging rates of identity theft and fraud raising consumer and market awareness of the toll it takes. “In the past year, one in five Americans fell victim to identity theft or attempted identity theft. According to a new Harris Research Poll, identity theft has become top-of-mind for 3 in 5 Americans this year and 60% expect that they will suffer financial loss as victims of identity theft. The need is there, and we remain confident that we have an important role to play in meeting that need.”
