Revenue Growth and Significant Contract Wins:
- authID Inc. reported record revenue of $1.4 million for Q2 2025, surpassing the previous year's revenue of $0.3 million.
- The growth was driven by the go-live status of several contracts signed earlier in 2024 and the successful implementation of major enterprise partnerships, notably with a U.K.-based Fortune Global 500 customer.

Pipeline Expansion and BAR Growth:
- authID's booked annual recurring revenue (BAR) increased to $2.2 million in Q2 2025, up from $0.6 million last year.
- The increase was led by signing agreements with major identity fraud platforms like Prove, demonstrating authID's strategic positioning in the identity management market.

IDX Platform Launch and Partnerships:
- authID launched its IDX platform, validating the integration of biometric authentication with the most comprehensive identity management standard.
- Key partnerships include a multinational leader in biometrics, NEC, and the Secure Identity Alliance, indicating significant industry recognition and credibility.

Financial Performance and Risk Assessment:
- authID's net loss for Q2 was $4.4 million, primarily due to increased headcount and a provision for estimated credit loss expense of $0.8 million.
- The provision reflects a risk assessment related to customer contracts, although the company remains confident in their ability to collect on these contracts.
