Financial highlights
| Metric | Q2 2022 | Q2 2021 | Six months 2022 | Six months 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $27.9 million | $24.0 million | $52.9 million | $46.2 million |
| Gross profit / margin | $10.2 million / 37% | $8.8 million / 37% | $19.2 million / 36% | $16.5 million / 36% |
| Operating loss | $0.3 million | $0.3 million | $1.3 million | $1.5 million |
| Net income (loss) | $(0.3) million | $2.5 million | $(1.3) million | $1.0 million |
| Basic EPS | $(0.02) | $0.10 | $(0.08) | $0.02 |
Q2 revenue increased 16% year over year; first-half revenue increased 15%. Q2 gross margin was unchanged, while first-half segment margins were mixed: Identity was 23% versus 24%, and Premises was 56% versus 54%. First-half operating expenses rose 13% to $20.5 million, led by selling and marketing costs. The prior-year comparison included a $2.9 million gain from forgiveness of a Paycheck Protection Program note; without that unusual gain, the comparison in net income is less favorable than operating-loss trends alone suggest.
For the first half, operating cash flow was negative $0.9 million, compared with negative $2.9 million a year earlier. Investing cash outflow was $1.6 million, primarily capital expenditures. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash declined $3.9 million to $25.9 million; cash and cash equivalents alone were $25.0 million at June 30. Working capital was $50.8 million, down from $51.9 million at year-end 2021.
Total assets were $96.4 million and stockholders’ equity was $73.5 million at June 30. The company had no borrowings outstanding under its East West Bank facility and reported compliance with its financial covenants. The amended revolving facility has a February 8, 2023 maturity, bears interest at prime minus 0.25%, and is secured by substantially all company assets.
Material changes and management commentary
- Identity revenue rose 14% in Q2 and 11% in the first half, supported by RFID transponder sales and access cards; smart-card-reader sales were constrained by component shortages.
- Premises revenue rose 19% in Q2 and 21% in the first half, with growth in Hirsch Velocity products, software and support, and video offerings.
- Management attributed Identity’s first-half margin decline to investment in technology and manufacturing processes and a sales mix weighted toward lower-margin RFID transponders. Premises margin improved with product mix and operational efficiencies.
- Cash and cash equivalents fell from $28.6 million at year-end. Inventory rose to $22.2 million from $19.9 million, including higher raw materials.
- Purchase commitments totaled $73.5 million, including $54.1 million for the remaining six months of 2022. Management says these commitments depend on demand forecasts and may be changed, rescheduled, or canceled, potentially resulting in supplier charges.
Outlook, risks and unusual items
The filing provides no numerical revenue or earnings guidance. Management expects existing cash, operating cash generation and available credit to fund working capital and operations for the next 12 months, while noting that the company has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flow. It also states that additional capital may be sought, with no assurance of availability or acceptable terms.
Management describes RFID adoption as a long-term growth opportunity, but says customer deployment timing is uncertain and can cause significant fluctuations in results. Other identified risks include component supply constraints, possible inventory shortages or excesses, product and customer demand variability, U.S. government budget cycles, seasonality, foreign-exchange movements, and continuing COVID-related disruption. A hypothetical 10% foreign-exchange move could change transaction gains or losses by approximately $0.6 million based on June 30 exposures. The company reported no material change to the risk factors in its 2021 Form 10-K.
In July 2022, the company extended the Santa Ana facility lease through January 31, 2028; lease accounting effects were to be reassessed in Q3. The company reported that disclosure controls were effective and that no material change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter. It disclosed ordinary-course legal proceedings but no specific outcome or amount.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Whether component availability and customer deployment schedules improve, and whether the sizable purchase commitments align with realized demand.
- Cash conversion and working-capital trends, particularly inventory growth and the ability to sustain positive operating cash flow.
- Progress toward operating profitability as selling and marketing and other operating costs rise.
- Availability and terms of the revolving credit facility before its February 2023 maturity.
- Potential dilution: Series B preferred stock was convertible into approximately 6.18 million common shares at June 30, in addition to other equity awards and warrants.
- Potential exposure to foreign-exchange changes, government procurement cycles, and any developments in legal proceedings or lease commitments.
