Thursday, 28 January 2020 - Identitii Limited (Identitii, Company) (ASX:ID8) releases its Appendix 4C for the three months to 31 December 2020 and provides an update on its progress during the period.

Commenting on the quarter, Identitii CEO, John Rayment said:

“Q2 FY21 saw Identitii hit a number of significant commercial and capital milestones, putting us in a great position to deliver revenue growth in 2021.

By the end of the quarter, we had commenced three new commercial engagements with Mastercard, HomeSend and Payble, the new Identitii subsidiary which received investment from x15ventures. We also received approval for our patent in the United States, which together with our commercial progress, is strong validation of our overall business strategy.

$4.015 million was raised via an oversubscribed placement to sophisticated and institutional investors, which you will see recognised in the quarterly cashflow report below. A further $2.000 million was also raised via our Share Purchase Plan, which will be recognised in next quarter’s cashflow report.

Thank you again for your continued support. We are very excited about the year ahead and are looking forward to a successful 2021.”

Corporate and financial summary

Cash flow and cash balance

Cash receipts from customers of $0.665 million were up 145% from previous quarter (Q1FY21 $0.271 million), driven by increased licence and professional services fees, following development works with Mastercard and HSBC Hong Kong.

The Company also received $0.861 million in government grants and tax incentives during the quarter, which included the annual R&D Tax Incentive of $0.740 million. This was down from the $1.206 million received last year, reflecting a shift away from development and towards commercialising the Overlay+ core platform.

Total cash outflows from operating activities for the quarter were $2.082 million, which included a $0.489 million one-off repayment, and the recommencement of $0.209 million in employment tax payments, to the ATO that had been deferred under the COVID-19 government stimulus package.

Therefore, like-for-like operating expenses (excluding the above $0.698 million) were $1.384 million, which was up 8% from previous quarter ($1.279 million Q1-FY21), and down 1% from the quarter before that ($1.399 million Q4-FY20), meaning normal operating activities have remained relatively flat over the last three quarters.

Payments made to related parties during the quarter were directors’ fees.

Identitii held $5.021 million in cash as at 31 December 2020.

Capital raising

Identitii successfully raised $4.015 million via an oversubscribed placement to sophisticated and institutional investors during the quarter. Approximately 27.5 million shares from the Company’s existing placement capacity, under ASX listing rules 7.1 and 7.1A, were issued to sophisticated and institutional investors on 3 December 2020 at $0.146 each.

A further $2.000 million was also raised via an oversubscribed Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to existing shareholders. Approximately 13.7 million new shares were issued to participating shareholders on 6 January 2021 at $0.146 each. The $2.000 million raised via the SPP will be recognised in next quarter’s cashflow report.

Operational progress

Two new customer engagements commence

Identitii announced customer engagements with Mastercard and HomeSend in Q2-FY21, both enabled by the Master Services Agreement (MSA) signed with Mastercard in August 2020. These engagements bring the total aggregate revenue agreed under the Mastercard MSA to $1.852 million.

Mastercard

Mastercard will use Identitii’s Overlay+ platform to enable the secure sharing of information over the Mastercard account-to-account network, to help streamline financial crime compliance in cross-border payments.

HomeSend

Identitii signed a Statement of Work (SOW) with HomeSend, a global cross-border payments network that enables financial institutions to transfer money internationally, to support the delivery of financial crime compliance information.

x15ventures invests in Identitii subsidiary, Payble

CBA New Digital Business Pty Ltd (x15ventures) and Identitii signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Payble, a newly incorporated Identitii subsidiary, on 15 December 2020. Under the terms of the MOU, x15ventures will invest $0.150 million to help complete an existing commercial trial.

Payble was founded by Identitii and Elliott Donazzan, previous Director of Innovation at Identitii and now Founder and CEO of Payble, to monetise previous investments made by Identitii that sit outside the Company’s core RegTech strategy.

Identitii holds 87.5% of the issued capital in Payble Pty Ltd and Elliott Donazzan owns the remaining 12.5%. John Rayment and Elliott Donazzan are Founding Directors of Payble Pty Ltd.

Identitii receives U.S. patent approval

On 14 December 2020, Identitii was granted patent approval in the United States. The approval covers Identitii’s global ecosystem for secure sharing of financial transaction information and is a key part of the Company’s Intellectual Property (IP) protection strategy. The approval further increases Identitii’s competitive advantage and defensibility, and potentially generates new revenue streams for the Company.

Identitii has also previously filed for patent protection in several other jurisdictions.

Identitii in the industry

Identitii conducted a number of targeted go-to-market activities aimed at increasing demand for its Overlay+ platform among key target markets. Highlights included:

Citi Mega FinTech accelerator

Identitii was selected as one of 12 finalists, out of over 3,500 applications, for an accelerator program run by Citi. The finals were held in November, and Identitii was named the winner of the ‘Client Centricity’ category. The program allowed Identitii to increase brand awareness within Citi and to showcase how Overlay+ can solve specific problem statements for Citi’s business.

Identitii wins global RegTech competition

Identitii won the Discover Pitch Perfect competition at Sibos in October 2020. The Company was recognised for how it is helping the world’s largest correspondent banks to simplify financial crime compliance within their network of banking partners.

The competition was designed to help promote innovative FinTech and RegTech companies to more than 22,000 Sibos delegates representing 10,000 institutions from 212 countries and has resulted in multiple media and speaking opportunities.

Identitii recognised as One to Watch by Regulation Asia

Identitii was named ‘One to Watch: AML/CTF Reporting’ in Regulation Asia’s Awards for Excellence in December.
