Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global digital security and identification leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), today released its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Status of Asset Sale Transaction

On April 2, 2024, Identiv entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell its physical security, access card, and identity reader operations and assets (the “Physical Security Business”) to a wholly owned subsidiary of Vitaprotech, a security solutions provider. Under the terms of the agreement, Identiv will receive a cash payment of $145 million upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary adjustments. As of August 8, 2024, Identiv has received approval or cleared applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the United Kingdom National Security and Investment Act 2021. The transaction was approved by Identiv’s stockholders on June 28, 2024, and remains subject to approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Identiv anticipates that the transaction will close in the third quarter of 2024. The proceeds from the sale will significantly strengthen Identiv’s financial position, providing capital to pursue growth opportunities for its specialty IoT solutions business.

Management Commentary

"We achieved significant milestones in the second quarter toward concluding the previously announced asset sale transaction,” said Identiv CEO Steven Humphreys. “This included a highly supportive stockholder vote in favor of the transaction, affirming our decision to focus exclusively on growing our IoT solutions business. At the same time, we made progress expanding RFID production in Thailand and advancing our strategic plan for RFID-enabled IoT applications. We are excited for the future of Identiv and remain on track for an expected close of the asset sale transaction in the third quarter.”

“I am excited to lead the IoT team through this transformational period in Identiv’s history,” said Identiv President, IoT Solutions Kirsten Newquist. “With a clear vision, a comprehensive and disciplined plan, and focused execution, we believe we can capitalize on the opportunity before us.”

Non-GAAP Aggregated Information for Fiscal Second Quarter 2024

In accordance with GAAP, revenue and operating expenses directly related to the Physical Security Business must be removed from their applicable statements of operations captions for continuing operations and reported for all periods presented as net income from discontinued operations in the GAAP financial statements.

Second quarter 2024 non-GAAP aggregated gross margin would have been 35.0% and adjusted non-GAAP aggregated gross margin would have been 37.3%.
