SAN DIEGO, July 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitek Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MITK) (www.miteksystems.com), the leading innovator of mobile imaging for financial transactions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, which ended June 30, 2014.
"The continued popularity of our flagship Mobile Deposit solution drove revenue to a record $4.7 million, marking Mitek's fourth consecutive quarter of revenue over $4 million. Alongside this progress, we have several exciting initiatives in motion, including pilots with major institutions for our Account Opening and Bill Pay solutions," said James B. DeBello, president and CEO of Mitek. "These strong fundamentals, backed by mobile banking trends and the proliferation of smart devices, position Mitek well for future growth."
Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $4.7 million compared to total revenue of $3.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, driven by continued strong demand for Mitek's Mobile Deposit product.
GAAP net income (loss) for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(1.6) million, or $(0.05) per share, compared to GAAP net income (loss) of $(2.1) million, or $(0.08) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Non-GAAP net income (loss) for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income (loss) of $(0.7) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Total operating costs and expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $6.3 million compared to $5.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in total operating costs and expenses was primarily driven by continued investment in the business, as well as non-cash stock compensation expense and litigation expense related to the protection of the Company's intellectual property.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP net income (loss) per share that exclude stock compensation expenses and intellectual property litigation expenses. These financial measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In evaluating the Company's performance, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial statements prepared under GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company's operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company's ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Board of Directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to gain a better understanding of evaluating the Company's comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, are useful to investors because they provide a basis for meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's ongoing operating results, including results of operations, against investor and analyst financial models, identifying trends in the Company's underlying business and performing related trend analyses, and they provide a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business.
