SAN DIEGO, Jan. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK) (www.miteksystems.com), a global leader in mobile capture and identity verification software solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 ended December 31, 2015.
Fiscal First Quarter 2016 Highlights
- Total revenue increased 37% year over year to $7.4 million
- The Company signed four new Fortune 500 companies across several different verticals for its Mobile Fill ID capture product offering
- The Company generated $1.0 million in cash flows from operations
- Total cash and investments at the end of the first quarter was $27.6 million, compared to $26.7 million at the end of fiscal 2015
Commenting on the results, James DeBello, President and CEO of Mitek, said:
“We are very pleased to report another strong quarter for Mitek, driven by increased revenue contribution from both of our new ID capture and verification product offerings, and continued growth in our industry leading mobile check deposit product.
“We licensed our ID solutions to several new logos during the quarter, including four new Fortune 500 companies across several different verticals. These new customers will be using our Mobile Fill product offering to more effectively and efficiently serve the rapidly growing mobile self-service channel as they look to increase their new customer conversion metrics.
“With our two new ID products, Mobile Fill and Mobile Verify, we are focused on further expansion into the multi-billion-dollar mobile ID verification market in the coming year. Mitek has become the de facto standard in mobile capture in the financial services industry and we are well positioned to leverage this leading position by expanding into the new, high growth mobile ID capture and verification market.
“Mobile check deposit remains a tremendous growth opportunity as we continue to see increased adoption in both the consumer and commercial markets. While the number of Americans using mobile deposit continues to increase, it still represents less than 5% of the approximately 19 billion checks deposited in the U.S. each year according to the most recent Fed study, representing a significant growth opportunity in the years to come. Our recently launched Mobile Multi-Check Capture solution is aimed squarely at addressing the untapped commercial mobile deposit market, which makes up two-thirds of the checks deposited annually.
“We are very excited about our strong start to fiscal 2016 and look forward to building on our success throughout the remainder of the year.”

Additional risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are contained from time to time in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including, but not limited to, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, which you may obtain for free on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share that exclude stock compensation expenses, intellectual property litigation costs and acquisition-related costs and 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 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.
