“We have continued our trajectory of growth year-over-year, with consistent, organic growth now across all major segments. At the same time, we achieved positive adjusted EBITDA for a third consecutive quarter, confirming our business model and target for growth from a strong operating base. This reflects the leverage we are seeing following our operating expense re-focusing last year, combined with the growth resurgence across our core businesses,” said Steven Humphreys, Identiv chief executive officer. “Given the usual first quarter seasonality, we are particularly pleased to see new-agency FICAM wins in the U.S. federal government in the period. We are also encouraged by the strong performance of our RFID transponders, and desktop and mobile smart card readers, modules and chips.
