Facephi has reported audited results for fiscal year 2025 showing double-digit revenue growth, triple-digit EBITDA expansion, and a return to profitability, capping a five-year stretch in which the biometric identity verification provider grew revenues at a compound annual rate exceeding 37 percent.
The Alicante, Spain-based company did not disclose specific revenue figures in its announcement but said performance improved across all key financial metrics. The 37-plus percent compound annual growth rate between 2020 and 2025 compares with an estimated industry average of roughly 12 percent over the same period, according to the company. Facephi attributed the outperformance to its expansion across Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Facephi’s EBITDA growth in triple-digit percentage terms marks a turnaround from prior operating losses incurred while investing in geographic expansion, product development, and strategic acquisitions. Its identity verification platform combines facial biometrics, document verification, and liveness detection to support remote customer onboarding for clients in financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare.
The company, which marked its tenth anniversary with a brand refresh in 2024, maintains offices in more than a dozen countries and employs approximately 250 people. Its client base is heavily weighted toward banks and mobile network operators that require biometric verification and anti-fraud capabilities built into the customer enrollment workflow.
Facephi’s path to profitability follows a period of significant investment, including the acquisition of Ecertic to broaden its compliance and KYC capabilities. The company has also deepened its presence in APAC markets through healthcare biometrics agreements and banking deployments across the region.
Recent commercial wins include a five-year behavioral biometrics and mule account detection deal with a Central American bank and a partnership with Hancom to bring biometric eKYC to Japan. The Central American contract expanded Facephi’s product footprint beyond its core facial recognition and document verification offering into behavioral analytics and fraud detection for ongoing transaction monitoring.
Facephi trades on Spain’s BME Growth market. The company said it expects continued growth in 2026 driven by demand for remote identity verification across regulated industries and new deployments in the Asia-Pacific region.
