LOS ANGELES–(EMWNews)–Innovative Card Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVC), developers of the
breakthrough InCard DisplayCardTM security
device for e-banking, e-commerce and data access, today announced second
quarter financial results. The company reported its strongest quarterly
revenue performance to date, taking in $800,209 in the second quarter of
2008, compared with $1,089 in the second quarter of 2007. This revenue
increase was driven by strong quarter-to-quarter sales performance;
second quarter sales revenues quadrupled first quarter results. The
company achieved a 9% reduction in operating expense over the comparable
2007 period, at $2.1 million. After accounting for the revaluation of
warrant liability and interest, InCard lost $800,715 in the second
quarter, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared with $0.09 per diluted
share in the second quarter of 2007. The backlog at June 30, 2008 was
$1.2 million.
InCard also achieved the strongest six-month revenue numbers in its
history. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, InCard reported revenue
of $1 million, a dramatic increase versus the $2,509 revenue in the
first half of 2007. The company was also able to cut its operating
expenses year over year by 12% for the first half. Cash on hand at June
30, 2008 was $1.7 million, up from $339,600 at year-end 2007. Working
capital was $3.3 million at June 30, 2008, up from a deficit of $2
million at year-end 2007.
“In the past three consecutive quarters, we delivered more than 100,000
InCard DisplayCards to satisfied customers. Through our blue chip list
of credit card manufacturers and digital security providers dedicated to
marketing and distributing the InCard DisplayCard, we have many live
consumer deployments globally including some of the largest banks in the
world,” said Steven R. Delcarson, President
and CEO of InCard Technologies. “We are encouraged by our progress, but
are also mindful of challenges yet to be overcome. Our sales team is
targeting ever larger orders and our technical people are working
tirelessly to reduce scrap in an effort to improve our gross margin. In
addition, we continue to work on second-sourcing our components to
reduce manufacturing lead times. We are making progress with these
issues, and expect to beat our second quarter performance in the third
quarter of 2008, despite a month-long summer shut down by one of our key
suppliers. Overall, we are in a much stronger position than at the same
time a year ago, and I am confident that we are moving quickly and
steadily in the right direction.”
The success of the InCard DisplayCard parallels several strong global
trends; 33% of adults bank online in the United States alone, and online
transaction volume is growing 27% annually. Fraudsters are taking
advantage of the online channel; phishing attacks cost American
consumers $3.2 billion in 2007 according to Gartner. With annual
identity theft costs pegged at $45 billion, and established payment
account fraud accounting for 5.4 million victims in 2007 according to
Javelin, government regulations and consumer concern are driving
widespread adoption of dual-factor authentication to protect against
online account fraud.
The InCard DisplayCard blends an ultra-portable form factor and strong
one-time passcode security to offer a unique security opportunity that
is a win-win for both the financial institution and the consumer.
According to an Associated Press report in January of 2008, 61% of
Americans are ‘very’
or ‘extremely’
concerned with online security. Implementing stronger security will
drive adoption of online banking, the most profitable transaction
channel for banks. Each online transaction costs $0.01 versus $0.27 for
ATM transactions and $1.07 for in-person branch transactions. For
high-income professionals, the banks’ most
profitable customer segment, the need for a convenient new security
measure is especially high. VIPs are three times more likely to be
targeted by fraudsters than other customers according to a recent study
on fraud victims by Experian. Additionally, InCard DisplayCard artwork
is fully customizable, allowing financial institutions to brand valuable
in-hand real estate, unlike traditional, bulky keyfob tokens. Add this
branding capability to the unique one-time passcode function, and the
result is a product that is completely singular among the very
competitive field of VIP payment card product offerings.
