BIO-key Reports Reduced Net Loss and Cash Used in Operations on Lower Q2’24 Revenues; Hosts Investor Call Thu. Aug. 15th at 10am ET
HOLMDEL, N.J., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key® International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions featuring passwordless, phoneless and token-less Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) authentication, announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (Q2’24). Note, BIO-key’s results for 2023 were restated at year-end and filed with the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, and as a result Q2’23 and six months ended June 30, 2023 comparisons in this release have been restated. BIO-key will host an investor call Thursday, August 15th at 10:00am ET (details below).
Financial Highlights
Q2’24 revenues decreased to $1.1M from $1.9M in Q2’23, principally due to a delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and lower project-related services revenue of approximately $200,000 as compared to the year-ago period for one large customer.
Gross profit improved to $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) in Q2’24 vs. $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in Q2’23.
BIO-key trimmed Q2’24 operating expenses by $0.2M versus Q2’23, reflecting ongoing cost management initiatives.
BIO-key reported a Q2’24 net loss of $1.7M compared to a Q2’23 net loss of $2.6M, primarily due to a $1M hardware reserve in Q2’23.
Cash used in operating activities improved 48% to $1.1M in the first six months of 2024 vs. $2.1M used in the first six months of 2023. Improved operating cash flow reflects the benefit of a Q1’24 $1.5M 2-year extension/expansion of a biometric technology license with a long-term financial services customer and continued reductions in S,G &A.

BIO-key introduced Passkey:YOU, a phish-resistant, phoneless and tokenless biometric FIDO Passkey Authentication Solution.
BIO-key won the Global InfoSec Award for Multi-factor Authentication at RSA Conference 2024.
Commentary
BIO-key CEO, Mike DePasquale commented, “Q2 was impacted by delays we experienced in the closing of approximately $450,000 in software license contracts and lower non-recurring, project-related services revenue of approximately $200,000 versus the year-ago period for one large customer in 2023.
“Despite our lower than expected revenues this quarter, we remain very encouraged by the growing enterprise awareness of the importance of implementing secure, zero-trust Identity and Access Management solutions which form the core of our offerings. We remain focused on driving revenue growth and progressing our business to profitability and positive cash flow over the next several quarters. We are working to support our Channel Alliance Partners around the globe while also working to progress larger-scale customer dialogues via our in-house direct sales efforts.
“We are also excited by the growth potential for our new Passkey:YOU solution which we believe provides a very powerful, differentiated solution within the rapidly expanding deployment of passkey solutions by some of the largest global companies. Unlike other solutions, BIO-key’s Passkey:YOU utilizes our industry leading biometric technology to deliver a unique passwordless and device-less authentication solution able to meet a broad range of needs, including some of the most challenging use cases.
“We continue to expect to benefit from the rollout and enforcement of increasingly stringent regulatory standards and cyber insurance underwriting requirements, much of which are now mandating multi-factor authentication or passwordless security solutions that BIO-key is well positioned to provide on a very competitive basis.
“Given our size, our performance will likely remain variable on a quarter to quarter and year over year basis, based on the impact and timing of customer contracts, though we remain confident in our ability to drive sequential growth on a full year basis. Importantly, we are building a growing base of high-margin annually recurring revenues (ARRs) with solid potential to expand as we move forward. We also continue to seek and implement cost reduction opportunities and identify potential strategic opportunities to leverage our core expertise to accelerate our path to profitability and positive cash flow. For these and other reasons, we believe BIO-key is well-positioned for the future.”
Financial Results
BIO-key reported Q2’24 revenues of $1.1M compared to $1.9M in Q2’23. The current-year period was negatively impacted by the delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and the year-ago period benefitted from approximately $200,000 of non-recurring services revenue for one large customer. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $3.3M compared to $4.1M in 2023, principally due to the factors that impacted Q2’24 results.
Q2’24 Gross profit was $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) versus $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in 2023 and higher gross margins from services in Q2’24.
BIO-key was able to reduce operating expenses by $0.2M in Q2’24 versus Q2’23, reflecting reductions in administration, sales personnel costs and marketing show expenses, including lower headquarters expense. Partially offsetting lower SG&A costs, was a $33,000 increase in research, development and engineering expense related to new product development.
Reflecting lower costs and the $1M hardware reserve in 2023, BIO-key’s net loss improved to $1.7M, or $1.00 per share, in Q2’24, from $2.6M, or $4.71 per share, in Q2’23. Likewise, BIO-key trimmed its net loss for the first six months of 2024 to $2.2M, or $1.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3M, or $7.74 per share, in the first six months of 2023. Q2’23 results included a hardware reserve of $1M and the first six months of 2023 included a hardware reserve of $1.5M.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2024, BIO-key had current assets of approximately $3.0M, including $1.3M of cash and cash equivalents, $932,210 of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $433,182 of inventory. This compares to current assets of approximately $2.6M, including $511,400 of cash equivalents, $1.3M of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $445,740 of inventory, at December 31, 2023.

“Given our size, our performance will likely remain variable on a quarter to quarter and year over year basis, based on the impact and timing of customer contracts, though we remain confident in our ability to drive sequential growth on a full year basis. Importantly, we are building a growing base of high-margin annually recurring revenues (ARRs) with solid potential to expand as we move forward. We also continue to seek and implement cost reduction opportunities and identify potential strategic opportunities to leverage our core expertise to accelerate our path to profitability and positive cash flow. For these and other reasons, we believe BIO-key is well-positioned for the future.”
Financial Results
BIO-key reported Q2’24 revenues of $1.1M compared to $1.9M in Q2’23. The current-year period was negatively impacted by the delay in recognition of approximately $450,000 in software license fees generated by the Company’s European subsidiary and the year-ago period benefitted from approximately $200,000 of non-recurring services revenue for one large customer. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $3.3M compared to $4.1M in 2023, principally due to the factors that impacted Q2’24 results.
Q2’24 Gross profit was $0.9M (77.0% gross margin) versus $0.3M (16.7% gross margin) in Q2’23, primarily reflecting the impact of a $1M hardware reserve in 2023 and higher gross margins from services in Q2’24.
BIO-key was able to reduce operating expenses by $0.2M in Q2’24 versus Q2’23, reflecting reductions in administration, sales personnel costs and marketing show expenses, including lower headquarters expense. Partially offsetting lower SG&A costs, was a $33,000 increase in research, development and engineering expense related to new product development.
Reflecting lower costs and the $1M hardware reserve in 2023, BIO-key’s net loss improved to $1.7M, or $1.00 per share, in Q2’24, from $2.6M, or $4.71 per share, in Q2’23. Likewise, BIO-key trimmed its net loss for the first six months of 2024 to $2.2M, or $1.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3M, or $7.74 per share, in the first six months of 2023. Q2’23 results included a hardware reserve of $1M and the first six months of 2023 included a hardware reserve of $1.5M.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2024, BIO-key had current assets of approximately $3.0M, including $1.3M of cash and cash equivalents, $932,210 of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $433,182 of inventory. This compares to current assets of approximately $2.6M, including $511,400 of cash equivalents, $1.3M of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $445,740 of inventory, at December 31, 2023.
