Aware Update Shows Impact of Biometric Acquisitions

Aware reported second-quarter revenue of $3.3 million, down from $3.9 million a year earlier, as the biometrics software company continued integrating technology acquired from ROC and Mitek into its Awareness Platform.

The company posted a net loss of $2.6 million, or 12 cents per share, compared with a loss of $1.8 million, or eight cents per share, in the prior-year quarter. Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization loss widened to $2.3 million from $1.4 million.

For the first six months of 2026, revenue was $6.6 million, compared with $7.5 million in the same period of 2025. The six-month net loss reached $6 million, up from $3.4 million.

Aware says it has brought ROC and Mitek biometric assets into the Awareness Platform, which combines identity verification, matching and liveness capabilities in a common environment.

The company highlighted defenses against deepfakes, injection attacks, presentation attacks, virtual cameras, emulators and replay attempts. It also described an Intelligent Matching capability that it says can reduce false non-matches by approximately tenfold while supporting subsecond one-to-many searches.

The company has also cited independent evaluations covering presentation attack detection, bias testing and DHS identity-verification testing. Those programs assess presentation attacks, demographic performance and operational identity verification under third-party conditions. Aware has also reported faster matching and mobile capture upgrades in earlier platform releases.

Aware said procurement activity at the Department of Homeland Security increased after funding conditions normalized. The company expects its usual seasonal concentration of revenue in the second half of the year, with government business contributing to that outlook.

The company also expects expenses to decline as acquisition integration proceeds. It expects revenue to be weighted toward the second half as government procurement activity improves.

The consolidated platform now spans identity verification, liveness, deepfake defense and high-volume biometric matching. The ROC and Mitek assets are now available through a common environment rather than separate product lines. Aware is integrating those functions while reducing costs and pursuing additional government business during the second half of the year.
