Editor's Notes
Good morning, welcome to IDEX Half one webcast
I will provide a business update on IDEX, brief financial summary of Half one and the outlook for our business
IDEX is focused on commercialising our fingerprint sensors to secure mass market opportunities
IDEX offers a broad range of low cost sensors, with our own algorithms and solutions for these markets
We have a strong value proposition
Read above
Our sensors address three massive market opportunities developing due to megatrends of password replacement, mobile payment and access control
These markets are mobile devices, ID and smart cards and IOT
The mobile device market is our immediate focus
IDEX target the billion unit non Apple smartphone market which is segmented into around 5 tier one OEMs and rapidly growing newer Chinese vendors
We are also seeing significant activity from Internet giants to couple biometric security hardware into their ecosystem
Our strategy is to leverage scale and cost from mobile volumes into the non mobile mass markets to maximise value
The adoption of fingerprint sensors is extremely rapid since the Apple Iphone 5S and now Android adoption including Samsung.
This will lead to in the region of 200 million deployed in 2014 and a multibillion dollar market opportunity in the near future for fingerprint sensors
we expect high penetration rapidly due to the megatrend of secure mobile payment and password replacement
The touch sensor deployed by Apple has shifted demand from other mobile customers to small touch sensors rather than swipe for flagship phones.
This has increased the revenue opportunity but also required the development of new sensors
IDEX is one of ONLY three INDEPENDENT vendors with core IP IN MASS DEPLOYED CAPACITIVE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY.
We therefore have an unprecedented market opportunity to share in a mutlibillion dollar market
What differentiates idex is our partnering strategy to outsource manufacturing and supply to integrators
combined with a unique patented product roadmap
Which is attractive to the mobile device providers
IDEX OWNS UNIQUE IP IN CAPACITIVE FINGERPRINT SENSING
AND APPLE X-LICENCE SETTING HIGH BARRIER TO ENTRY
Patent protection is paramount for mobile OEMS selling globally
IDEX owns strongest, core IP portfolio in fingerprint sensing outside Apple with 22 patent families and x licence with Apple
Patent landscape highly constrained due to vendor consolidation
IDEX DIFFERENTIATED roadmap LEVERAGES CORE PATENTS TO OFFER A UNIQUE PRODUCT RANGE
IDEX Best in class swipe due to patented technology. Swipe will be used in cost sensitive devices - <$3 sensor
To meet the market shift for flagships in 2014 for small touch, idex accelerated a silicon touch sensor with Crucialtec
Sampling now with multiple oems
Idex second generation touch uses idex two part sensor design which offers significant lower cost than silicon competitors and easier integration into a phone
Idex uniquely can integrate our sensor into glass – eliminates buttons/ultimate aesthetics
IDEX TWO PART TOUCH SENSOR WILL PROVIDE A MAJOR COST ADVANTAGE OVER THE LATEST SILICON SENSORS
Silicon sensors have large chips the size of the sensor. If the size is reduced the fingerprint image becomes too small for accurate recognition
The optimum size is around 8x8mm and idex is sampling this as first generation to provide a solution in the market this year
Idex second generation disrupts cost leverages our two part sensor which senses in a low cost flex and has ¼ silicon area
Therefore we can provide optimal size whilst still reducing cost
EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP TEAM WITH STRONG COMMERCIALISATION TRACK RECORD
Attracting key industry veterans including founders of Validity, key staff from AuthenTec,
Advisory council Larry Ciaccia who was CEO of AuthenTec and Michael Barrett ex CISO Paypal, Chairman FIDO Alliance for online biometric security including Paypal, Google, Mastercard
Opex run rate ramping up to support large partners and customer engagements. Expect circa $5-6M per quarter, pre revenue
SECURED FIRST DESIGN WIN IN THE MOBILE MARKET HAVE FURTHER MULTIPLE MOBILE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENTS
THIS WILL LEAD TO REVENUES STARTING IN H2 2014
WE ARE ALSO INTEGRATING OUR SENSORS INTO A VERY EXICTING RANGE OF CONSUMER ACCESSORIES FOR THE WORLDWIDE TOUCH ORDER
WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP PROTOTYPES FOR LOCK AND ID CARD CUSTOMERS WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO LEAD TO PRODUCT LAUNCHES IN 2015
WE ARE VERY WELL FUNDED FOR TO EXECUTE ON OUR GLOBAL EXPANSION AND TO DELIVER TIER ONE CUSTOMER TRACTION IN 2014
IMPORTANTLY I EXPECT TO PROGRESS ON FURTHER KEY STRATEGIC PARTNER AGREEMENTS, ESPECIALLY IN MOBILE WHICH WILL PROPEL IDEX TO THE FOREFRONT OF THE MARKET
THANKYOU VERY MUCH
THIS CONCLUDES THE H1 PRESENTATION FOR IDEX
