Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.4 million, compared with $0.3 million a year ago. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.7 million, compared to $0.4 million in the year-ago period.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were $5.9 million, compared to $3.6 million a year ago. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $10.6 million, compared with $6.9 million in the year-ago period. The 2025 increase is primarily due to increased headcount and continued investment in sales and R&D. There was also an increase of $0.8M in provision for estimated credit loss expense, which represents the Company's updated assessment of credit risk as of June 30, 2025 related to certain customer contracts.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.4 million, of which non-cash charges were $1.1 million, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million a year ago, of which non-cash charges were $0.8 million. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $8.7 million, of which non-cash charges were $1.6 million, compared with a net loss of $6.3 million a year ago, of which non-cash charges were $1.6 million.
Loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.33, compared with $0.34 a year ago. Loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.72, compared with $0.67 a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a loss of $2.5 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a loss of $4.9 million a year ago. The increase in adjusted EBITDA loss is primarily driven by the increase in headcount investment in sales and R&D as well as the provision for estimated credit loss expense. Please refer to Table 1 for reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure).
Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) as of June 30, 2025, was $13.8 million, of which $1.2 million is held as deferred revenue and $12.6 million is related to other non-cancellable contracted amounts, compared to RPO of $4.2 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects to recognize the full RPO of $13.8 million over the entire life of the contracts, which are typically signed with a 3-year term.
The gross amount of Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, (a non-GAAP measure, as defined below), signed in the second quarter of 2025 was $2.2 million, up from $0.63 million of gross bARR a year ago. The net amount of bARR was $1.9 million compared to $0.63 million of net bARR signed in the comparable period in 2024. The Q2 bARR is comprised of $0.9 million in Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR) and $1.2 million in estimated Usage Above Commitments (UAC).
The gross amount of Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, signed in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.2 million, up from $0.73 million of gross bARR a year ago. The net amount of bARR was $1.8 million compared to $0.73 million of net bARR signed in the comparable period in 2024. The 2025 bARR is comprised of $0.9 million in Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR) and $1.3 million in estimated Usage Above Commitments (UAC).
The net amount of bARR reflects the deduction of the bARR of contracts previously included in reported bARR, due to certain customers experiencing delays in Production Go-Live timing and volume ramping.
The amount of Annual Recurring Revenue or ARR, (a non-GAAP measure, as defined below) as of June 30, 2025 was $5.8 million, compared to $1.1 million of ARR as of Q2 2024 and $1.2 million as of Q1 2025.
See below for further definition and explanation of ARR and bARR, non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this statement. These non-GAAP key business indicators, which include Adjusted EBITDA, bARR and ARR should not be considered replacements for and should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our Company and our management.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense and debt discount and debt issuance costs amortization expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.
Please see Table 1 below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA – continuing operations to net loss – continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that bARR and ARR, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provide useful information about the direction of future growth trends of the Company's revenues. We also rely on bARR as one of several primary measures to review and assess the sales performance of our Company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation. The Company defines Booked Annual Recurring Revenue or bARR, as the amount of annual recurring revenue represented by the estimated amounts of annual recurring revenue we believe will be earned under contracted orders, looking out eighteen months from the date of signing of each customer contract. This estimate is comprised of two components (1) Committed Annual Recurring Revenue (cARR), which represents the minimum amounts that customers are contractually committed to pay each year over the life of the contract and (2) Usage Above Commitments (UAC), which represents our estimate of the rate of annual recurring revenue arising from actual usage of our services above the contractual minimums, that we believe the Customer will achieve after 18 months. The net amount of bARR reflects the deduction of the bARR of contracts previously included in reported bARR, which were subject to attrition, or other downward adjustments during the quarter.
The Company defines Annual Recurring Revenue or ARR, as the amount of recurring revenue recognized during the last three months of the relevant period as determined in accordance with GAAP, multiplied by four.
bARR may be distinguished from ARR, as bARR does not take specifically into account the time to implement any contract for authID's services, nor for any ramp in adoption, or seasonality of usage of our biometric products but is based on the assumption that 18 months after signing these matters will have been generally resolved. Furthermore, bARR is based on estimates of future revenues under particular contracts, whereas ARR, whilst also forward-looking, is based on historical revenues recognized in accordance with GAAP during the relevant period. A reconciliation of bARR and ARR to a GAAP measure is not provided as there are no comparable GAAP measures and we believe that any attempt at such reconciliation may be confusing to investors. bARR and ARR have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- bARR & ARR should not be considered as predictors of future revenues but only as indicators of the direction in which revenues may be trending. Actual revenue results in the future as determined in accordance with GAAP may be significantly different to the amounts indicated as bARR or ARR at any time.
- bARR and ARR are to be considered "forward-looking statements" and subject to the same risks, as other such statements (see note on "Forward-Looking Statements" above).
