SAN DIEGO, CA - Mitek Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MITK), a technology company specializing in computer peripheral equipment with a market capitalization of $465 million, has announced a new incentive program for its executive team and other full-time employees, according to a recent SEC filing.
According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 86% and shows strong financial health with a current ratio of 4.39, indicating robust liquidity. The program, approved by the Board of Directors today, is designed to offer cash bonuses based on the achievement of specific performance goals for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.
The 2025 Plan, as outlined, is structured around two key financial metrics: revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). These metrics will be assessed for the company’s primary business areas, deposits, and identity.
The company’s current EBITDA stands at $20.1 million, and InvestingPro data shows that three analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period, suggesting positive momentum. The incentive targets for the executive team are a percentage of their annualized salaries, with the Chief Executive Officer eligible for a bonus target of 100%, the Chief Financial Officer at 65%, the Chief Legal Officer at 60%, and the Senior Vice President, Deposit Solutions and Chief Product Officer at 50%.
Under the new plan, bonus payouts can reach up to 200% of the target amount, contingent upon the fulfillment of the set performance goals. Additionally, the Board maintains the authority to adjust individual executive incentives by up to 10% based on personal performance and contributions.
The announcement comes as Mitek Systems continues to focus on attracting, motivating, and retaining top talent within the organization. The company has emphasized that the plan is intended to align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders by tying compensation to corporate success.
This incentive program is part of Mitek’s broader strategy to drive performance and shareholder value. The details of the 2025 Plan are available in the full text of the document attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

The company’s F4Q24 results disclosed a revenue of $43.2 million, exceeding the forecast of $41.2 million, and a full-year revenue of $172.1 million. This achievement led H.C. Wainwright to increase its price target for Mitek Systems from $11.00 to $13.00, maintaining a Buy rating on the company’s stock.
