| 2023 was a strong year for Red Violet, again producing yearly records in revenue, gross profit, net income, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow |
| Throughout the year, we continued our expansion within existing verticals and our move into larger enterprise experiencing solid demand across financial and corporate risk as we continued to evolve our KYC verification platform with intelligent fraud signals and scoring capabilities |
| We grew revenue in the mid-teens, generated very strong margins and cash flow, and invested in our business while returning capital to shareholders via our stock repurchase program |
| Our industry-leading AI/ML-powered platform, proprietary linking algorithms, and core identity graph continue to be recognized by industry and as time passes, more and more customers and prospects are realizing that we do entity resolution better than anybody else |
| Our differentiated assets and capabilities have us very well positioned for 2024 and beyond |
| Given the continuing expansion of our product suite and with 2024 revenue to date off to a record start, we are very optimistic and highly focused on accelerating our business and continuing to deliver exceptional customer and shareholder value |
| We are well positioned to accelerate the business and to deliver exceptional customer and shareholder value |
| Moving into 2024, we are extremely excited about our solutions suite and the expanding applicability to the markets we serve |
| As you may recall, we discussed a few quarters ago that we are in a unique position to expand our AI capabilities, given our valuable assets, namely our AI/ML driven platform and our high confidence core consumer identity graph |
| Digging in a bit to IDI's revenue segments, we saw strong double-digit percentage revenue growth in financial and corporate risk, as well as within our investigative segment which was led by law enforcement where we continue to focus sales resources and are making nice traction |
| And as Derek discussed, our opportunity to lean in a bit to accelerate our revenue in 2024, because of our incremental margin on every growth dollar, we believe we can accomplish this acceleration while still generating increasing profitability with adjusted EBITDA margin nearing 30% and producing strong free cash flow |
| We are pleased to have reported another strong quarter and a record year for Red Violet |
| In closing, we are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year results, with revenue off to a record start, increasing opportunity within current markets and additional solutions to penetrate new markets |
| We are excited to accelerate revenue and produce another record year in 2024 |
| As it relates to FOREWARN revenue, we continue to see strong adoption from associations which drove solid growth in the quarter |
| We are pleased to announce a strong fourth quarter capping off another record year for Red Violet |
| We saw strong customer onboarding throughout the year with continued growth in the onboarding of higher tier customers with 72 customers contributing over $100,000 of revenue in 2023 compared to 67 customers in 2022 |
| I'm happy to report that we executed well against those goals with several product releases in 2023, including enhanced KYC functionality with fraud signals and scoring for the broader identity market, a robust background screening support suite that now includes idiTRACE, idiCrim, and idiALIAS [ph] and enhanced criminal information capabilities for law enforcement and our investigative vertical that includes map-based criminal search functionality, real-time arrest search and arrest monitoring |
| Bill's multi-decade career, building platform driven solutions to drive consumer insights has established him as a leading innovator in the information services space, and we are pleased to have Bill on the Red Violet Board of Directors |
| It is a large market opportunity for us and we have proven when given the chance to test against larger competition that our platform, core consumer identity graph and superior API functionality are differentiating in generating insights needed by government agencies to solve for their complex problems |
| Adjusted net income increased 157% to $0.3 million for the quarter, resulting in adjusted earnings of $0.02 per share |
| Reflecting back to the first quarter of 2023, in the shadow of some broader economic uncertainty, our goals were to advance our long-term strategic plan by converting our healthy cash flow and solid balance sheet into innovative solutions, enhanced capabilities, entry into new markets and increasing market penetration |
| Adjusted net income increased 157% to $0.3 million for the quarter, resulting in adjusted earnings of $0.02 per share |
| Adjusted gross profit increased 17% to $11.7 million producing an adjusted gross margin of 78%, a 1 percentage point increase over fourth quarter 2022 |
| We of course will remain focused on the health of our business, but we see real opportunities in our current endeavors to lean in and accelerate revenue growth in 2024 and to position ourselves for continued acceleration in subsequent years |
| It was a year of producing higher financial metrics across the board, reflecting on the prior year in an economic climate that certainly experienced its ebbs and flows, but found its footing as the year progressed |
| We believe our key assets, combined with the natural language processing capabilities of large language models as well as the analytical advantages of deep learning, will prove invaluable to any business or organization in making more informed decisions, driving innovation and gaining a competitive edge in today's data driven world |
| While Florida's revenue is not included in our fourth quarter results presented today, this win is indicative of the continued progress in market penetration for FOREWARN |
| For the year, total revenue increased 13% to $60.2 million, generating an adjusted gross profit of $47.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million |
| IDI marketing, along with our CORE identity solution, allows us the opportunity to capture the entire identity journey and corresponding wallet share from our customers, through protecting and acquisition, verification and onboarding, and protecting and personalizing |

| Given the economic climate last year, we likely sacrificed a bit of top line growth as we tilted conservatively in managing the business and ensuring a very healthy bottom line |
| We reported a loss of $0.08 per basic and diluted share for the quarter based on a weighted average share count of 14 million shares |
| Rounding out IDI, both emerging markets, which is comprised of multiple industries, and real estate, which does not include FOREWARN, we're down a few percentage points over prior year |
| Actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by our forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business |
| For those that are new to our story, it always bears mention that the fourth quarter presents some seasonality just due to the fact that there are less business days to transact around the holiday periods, which impacts our transactional revenue |
| Our net loss for the quarter narrowed to $0.4 million, or 31%, to $1.1 million |
