Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
I came to authID because of the strength and the value of its technology and the opportunity to build a high performance sales machine with the necessary go to market skills required to achieve long term growth
Based on our ability to turn contracts into live customers, I'm very confident that we will start to see significant progress in revenue growth shortly here in 2024
Supported by the commitment of our investors and the value of our patented technology, our teams secured a cumulative bARR of almost $3 million in sales bookings, representing 1,200% growth over 2022, and the highest total gross bARR that authID had previously reported for any annual period
First, authID had record net new bookings growth
And in 2023, we laid a strong foundation for continued growth and market leadership
The hard work we did in 2023 places us on a path to deliver innovative product roadmap, an expanded sales pipeline as well as increased bookings and revenue in 2024
Our team quickly built a robust sales pipeline for both short term and long-term expansion and put record breaking deals on the board
We're excited by the momentum the team is building with new sales bookings
I'm extremely pleased with the momentum we built over the last six months of 2023
For existing authID customers, this team is focused on delivering outstanding value to ensure we win renewals, maximize opportunities to expand our relationships and minimize churn
Our expanded customer success team has implemented a robust process to take new customers live as quickly as possible, to speed up time to revenue and ensure minimum contractual commitments are met, and absolutely to explore new use cases to drive additional service usage
As shown at the bottom of the page, our team had a pivotal year of growth in 2023 where we saw significant progress in the first two stages with almost $3 million in bookings and over $4 million in remaining performance obligation
Second, we are actively growing customer size with record deal volume
We are transforming authID into a sales led organization of deep subject matter experts who will continue to help us continue our trajectory to build a high growth business with a robust pipeline, strong bookings and predictable revenue
These wins notched a phenomenal bARR value of $1.7 million, a 64% increase over our third quarter bookings
Based on our ability to turn contracts into live customers, we are confident that we'll make progress toward increasing our ARR and overall revenue during 2024
In summary, I'm extremely excited to be part of authID's growth story to advance our market position and to help lead us to the next stages of our growth
I'm also excited to be here, and I'm extremely proud of our 2023 accomplishments
So that's really the main differentiator between us and the competitive landscape today and it's really a bright future for us
Our Q3 booking contracts represented a successive 300% increase over our Q2 bARR, and more than 25 times the bARR earned in Q3 of 2022, truly phenomenal performance for our team who had only just started
And in May, our investors provided infusion of capital and a debt to equity conversion that together helped improve our balance sheet, regained NASDAQ listing compliance
In just a little over six months, we completely rewrote the authID story, secured new talent with deep identity domain knowledge, enhanced our patented identity platform, improved strong product market fit and demand for our biometric verification and authentication solutions
The authID identity platform is a market leader, delivering the strongest identity assurance in 700 milliseconds
Today, recognition of authID as a market leader offering thought leadership and delivering strong identity assurance solutions is growing
These efforts were rewarded quickly with record contract bookings of $239,000 in Q2, outperforming in one quarter all that the company had booked in all of 2022
Once these new customers go live, we will start to see the benefits of our sales achievements reflected in top line revenue
2023 was a pivotal rebuilding period for authID where we leveraged the best that authID had, secured new identity domain talent, instilled new sales discipline and drove strong momentum in our book sales
We're continually improving the user experience
Our strong layer of defenses against the ever-evolving AI generated threats coupled with a lightning quick user experience is our winning value proposition
These capabilities are driving recognition of authID as a preeminent market expert in stopping deepfakes and fraud attacks and delivering trusted biometric authentication
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Last quarter, we cited the attack on several casino giants where fraudsters used a simple hack by calling into the casino help desks and impersonating key IT managers, resulting in losses of over $100 million
Just in the last few weeks, headlines have featured the multimillion-dollar ransomware attack on a US healthcare insurance payment provider and stopped vital payments to hospitals and doctors and threaten disruptions to critical patient care
In fact, we barely had time to enjoy the potential of generative AI and we had to start worrying about its corrupt use
Clearly, we talked about it in the presentation, our target because once you get access to their credentials, you're in a system and you can do a lot of damage
Deepfakes’ so sophisticated a manual human inspection cannot properly detect them
Some of these risks are mentioned in today's press release
The digital economy can only thrive if fraud can be controlled and good customers can easily conduct commerce
We are attacking both, absolutely are attacking everything but we are absolutely attacking in both buckets
Unfortunately, these companies did not know who accessed privileged user accounts, learning the hard way that assumptions of identity trust are no longer sufficient security
Our customers should not have to compromise cybersecurity and identity assurance for a frictionless user experience
And finally, deepfakes that perform face manipulation on synthesized images or videos can create even greater realism and make the fakes even more difficult to detect
These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what we expect
