The company had revenue of $54.04 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $50.82 million. Mitek Systems had a return on equity of 19.41% and a net margin of 11.39%.

Here are the key takeaways from Mitek Systems’ conference call:

• Revenue and guidance increased: Fiscal Q3 revenue rose 18% year over year to $54 million, exceeding expectations, while full-year revenue guidance was raised to $195 million–$200 million and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to 32%–34%.
• Check Fraud Defender continued to scale: Annual contract value grew 73% year over year to more than $22 million, a top-five U.S. bank joined the consortium after a successful pilot, and Fiserv began reselling the solution to thousands of financial institutions.
• Profitability and recurring revenue improved: Adjusted EBITDA margin reached approximately 38% in the quarter, adjusted EPS increased 58% to about $0.34, and SaaS revenue grew 36% and reached roughly 46% of trailing-12-month revenue.
• Some Q3 growth drivers may not persist: Fraud and identity SaaS benefited from an unexpected, regulation-driven surge in age-verification transactions, which management expects to ease modestly in Q4; check-verification revenue also remains exposed to renewal timing and the long-term decline in paper-check usage.
