Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis said, "We continue to make progress towards the goals we have set for the company. We have realized what I believe are solid growth numbers for the quarter as we continue to move on several fronts to strengthen and grow our position. The changes we have put in place in how we sell and implement our solutions are generating success including our expansion of the implementation team to make sure we have the right number of people with the right skill set in place to be able to capitalize on the opportunities presented to us. This quarter we also began the wide-spread deployment of four retailers totaling 2,900 stores ranging in size from just under 300 stores to just over 1,500. Later this month, we will begin the deployment of another large retailer with 1,300 stores. All signs point to what we believe will be ongoing growth in the adoption of our key technology solutions."

Looking at new market opportunities, Lewis commented, "In addition to the growing adoption we are seeing with financial institutions and retailers, we believe that new markets are opening up to us as well. As hospital groups grapple with the mounting problem of insurance fraud, we have begun to see traction in that market vertical as we began bringing on some of these hospital groups for authentication. The leap in incidents of fraud has also given us new traction with auto dealerships. We now have six dealer groups that have contracted for Retail ID and have signed an agreement with one of the providers of dealer management software to incorporate Retail ID in their suite of products. We believe this serves as an important indicator of all the markets where authentication is needed and we are very much looking forward to the rest of 2019."

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net loss, interest and other income, income taxes, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial results with other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation, as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate our operations and can compare the results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of our operational strength and performance of our business and a useful measure of our historical operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes interest and other income, impairments of long lived assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation expense, all of which impact our profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization related to the use of long-term assets which benefit multiple periods. We believe that these limitations are compensated by providing Adjusted EBITDA only with GAAP net loss and clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by us may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities.
