Inside Secure provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2018. For the year 2018, the company estimated revenue totaled $42.1 million, representing a growth of 8% on fiscal year 2017. This estimate includes the $1.8 million contribution from the NFC patent licensing program, which was unchanged in the final quarter of the year. As expected, Fiscal Year 2018 revenue growth more than offsets the anticipated decline in revenue from a U.S. customer in the defense industry which, as previously announced, had contributed to an exceptionally high level of royalties revenue in the second half of 2017. The company estimated EBITDA was $6.2 million (i.e. 14.7% of revenue) as a result of disciplined management of operating expenses. The company estimated that adjusted operating expenses are below the previously announced $36 to $37 million range.
