Management Commentary
"We believe the strong operating momentum of the first quarter creates a solid foundation to achieve our growth expectations for 2022 and beyond," said Identiv CEO Steven Humphreys. "Our total revenue for the first quarter was up 13% year-over-year and our Non-GAAP gross margins improved by nearly 3 percentage points sequentially, strengthening faster than we expected to over 37%. RFID unit shipments increased 20% over the prior-year period, to 48.0 million units, and unit prices increased 16% sequentially. Our transformational projects in cannabis, medical devices, prescription and mobile devices all made great progress. Together with our expanding design wins, we believe this positions us to lead in the accelerating RFID market. Commercial market demand for our Premises solutions drove 23% year-over-year revenue growth, building a solid foundation for Premises growth as seasonally strong Government demand in Q2 and Q3 is expected to add to the commercial strength we're already seeing in that segment. Overall, the first quarter was a strong start to our fiscal year."
"Execution of our RFID growth strategy is our top priority for 2022. We're capitalizing on our award-winning position as a premier provider of advanced NFC-based RFID products to secure new design wins and non-recurring engineering (NRE) contracts. Our expanded sales and engineering teams are driving our presence in virtually every opportunity in the industry, and we're adding capacity almost continuously to support our core demand and to be positioned to support our transformational opportunities. We remain highly engaged with the customers leading these transformational opportunities as they make progress on their plans towards full production. We're leveraging our technology partnerships with NXP, Wiliot, collectID and others to drive additional growth and work to safeguard our supply chain so that we can maintain our track record of 100% RFID customer retention. Combined with our Premises business growing 3x the industry's rate, based on the expanded commercial and federal demand for our security solutions, we believe we're well-positioned to deliver strong revenue and EBITDA growth in 2022."
Identiv CFO Justin Scarpulla added, "Our first quarter financial results indicate that the business is on the right track to meet its 2022 revenue outlook. Our total backlog of orders has steadily increased over the last year, and we have increased our capacity accordingly to meet this growing customer demand and capture incremental market share. We have also updated our price list to address inflationary concerns and implemented the necessary systems to judiciously manage our project margins. With a strong balance sheet that provides us with ample working capital, we are increasingly optimistic about our growth trajectory in 2022."
Financial Outlook
Identiv provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. Momentum exiting the first quarter of 2022, combined with a strong backlog, gives management confidence in the company's growth expectations for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Management is reaffirming its guidance for fiscal year 2022, with expected revenues of $130 million to $135 million, reflecting year-over-year growth of 25% to 35%.
