Management Commentary
Mr. Patrick White, the Chief Executive Officer of VerifyMe commented: “VerifyMe had a tremendously successful 2019 as we transitioned from a development stage company to commercialization. We believe we are at a major inflection point now with our fourth quarter revenue of greater than $100,000, which is nearly double any of our previous quarters. We anticipate that revenues will continue to grow in 2020 and beyond as we ramp our business with our strategic partners, existing clients and prospective new clients.”
Mr. White continued: “Our business traction with a well-known multi-billion-dollar global consumer products company that sells nutrition, personal care, beauty and home care products and another global consumer product client has ramped as expected, but could be just the tip of the iceberg, as we look to penetrate additional business segments and product lines within these companies. Additionally, our sales team has been feverishly following up on leads we obtained from attending various tradeshows in the latter part of 2019 with our strategic partner HP Indigo.”
Mr. White concluded: “Recent television news interviews with key Trump Administration trade and economic officials have made it known that counterfeiting of consumer products is growing rapidly and US citizens should be cautious of anything purchased on e-commerce websites. Trump officials publicly declared their effort to monitor, control and combat trafficking of counterfeit and pirated goods. Our shareholders should understand that VerifyMe is perfectly positioned to utilize our technologies and authenticating devices to help brand owners address the federal governments concerns. We are focused and excited for what 2020 has in store for us as we look forward to continuing to increase our high margined revenue which demonstrates our business model’s ability to generate profitable growth.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including those regarding potential revenue growth in 2020 and beyond, potential revenue increase from our two key customers and possible expansion to their other products and future gross margins. The words “believe,” “may”, “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and history of losses, its ability to work with partners in selling its technologies to businesses, production difficulties, our inability to enter into contracts and arrangements with future partners, issues which may affect the reluctance of companies to change their purchasing of products, acceptance of our technologies, and the efficiency of our authenticators in the field. Further information with respect to our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Any forward-looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes both financial measures in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of VerifyMe nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
VerifyMe’s management uses and relies on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to Adjusted EBITDA in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company’s management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison. The Company’s management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations because of the described excluded items.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from operations before certain charges. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of VerifyMe’s operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess VerifyMe’s core operating results from period-to-period after removing the impact of items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is included in this press release. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between VerifyMe and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.
