As filed, 54,964 characters.

*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as previously filed with the Commission. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations, and beliefs, involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.*

### Overview

Trust Stamp was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 11, 2016 as “T Stamp Inc.” T Stamp Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Trust Stamp”, “we”, or the “Company”) develop and market identity authentication software for enterprise and government partners and peer-to-peer markets.

Trust Stamp primarily develops proprietary artificial intelligence-powered solutions, researching and leveraging machine learning artificial intelligence, including computer vision, cryptography, and data mining, to process and protect data and deliver insightful outputs that identify and defend against fraud, protect sensitive user information, facilitate automated processes, and extend the reach of digital services through global accessibility. We utilize the power and agility of technologies such as GPU processing, edge computing, neural networks, and large language models to process and protect data faster and more effectively than historically possible to deliver results at a disruptively low cost for usage across multiple industries.

Our team has substantial expertise in the creation and development of AI-enabled software products. We license our technology and expertise in numerous fields, with an increasing emphasis on addressing diverse markets through established partners who will integrate our technology into field-specific applications.

Over the last year, while maintaining our strong emphasis on identity authentication for financial services, the Company has undertaken a multi-pronged process to position itself better to leverage the growing opportunities offered by the expanded capabilities, use, and acceptance of AI technologies. This process has included:

- Reducing the size of the non-production-focused executive and consulting teams to reduce overhead.
- Releasing sales staff that did not meet their targets.
- Negotiating a services contract to offset the cost of the technical team members while maintaining significant R&D and product development capabilities.
- Refocusing go-to-market strategies on joint ventures with proven industry partners with access to target markets
- Expanding our IP portfolio to strengthen our existing position related to presentation attack detection and tokenization and include implementations such as:

i. Embedded ownership verification for cryptographic assets, a technology that we believe to have significant potential with the expansion in the ownership of crypto-assets including potential deregulation (or loosening or clarification of regulation) in the United States together with the global growth of stable coins including Central Government Digital Currencies.

ii. A simple user interaction utility called “Shape Overlay” that augments biometric verification and combats deepfakes and injection attacks by having the user interact in real-time with their captured image.

iii.Stable Key (or “Stable IT2”) which is a revolutionary technology that generates a “key” directly from the biometric of the user which key has a mathematical correlation to all of the user's passwords, PINS, and other “secrets” for every account and use case meaning that those secrets never need to be stored in their entirety.

iv. A patent for “Interoperable Biometric Representations” that potentially breaks vendor lock-in by allowing users of biometric technologies to compare like-modality templates from different sources.

- Strengthening our international 3rd party cybersecurity and data handling certifications by adding SOC2 certification to our NCSC Cyberessentials Plus certification and obtaining a renewed D-Seal certification (the world’s first certification that includes not just data security but also the ethical and responsible use of data).
- Opening an office in Tokyo (with funding from the City of Tokyo and the Japanese government) to pursue opportunities in the APAC region.
- Retaining an investment bank to explore strategic partnership and M&A opportunities across multiple sectors.

### Recent Developments

### Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim

On February 25, 2025, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Maxim, as sales agent or principal, shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Maxim will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any minimum price, time or size limits specified by the Company. Under the Agreement, Maxim may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions. Maxim’s obligations to sell shares under the Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature. The Company will pay Maxim a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and has agreed to reimburse Maxim for certain specified expenses of up to $40,000, aggregate, in addition to up to $3,000 quarterly for the Maxim’s counsel’s fees and any incidental expenses to be reimbursed by us. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Maxim against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The Company is not obligated to make any sales of its Common Stock under the Agreement and no assurance can be given that the Company will sell any shares under the Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares that the Company will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place. The Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares having an aggregate offering price of $6,196,000 pursuant to the Agreement, (ii) twelve (12) months from the date of the Agreement, (iii) mutual termination by both Maxim and the Company upon the provision of fifteen (15) days written notice, and (iv) termination of the Agreement as otherwise permitted therein.

Sales of shares of Common Stock under the Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-271091) (the “Registration Statement”) which was declared effective April 12, 2023 and a related prospectus supplement which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2025 (the “ATM Prospectus”). The ATM Prospectus relates to the offering of up to $6,196,000 worth of shares of the Company’s Common Stock from time to time. The issuance and sale, if any, of Common Stock under the Agreement is subject to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and “baby shelf” limitations under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.

### Appointment of New Chief Financial Officer

On January 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Lance Wilson as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), to fill the vacancy in the position left after Alex Valdes’s resignation as Chief Financial Officer effective January 2, 2025.

Lance Wilson, a licensed Certified Public Accountant in Georgia, first joined the Company in 2021, serving in various financial capacities, most recently as the Senior Vice President of Accounting & Finance at Trust Stamp from July 2024 until being appointed to his role as CFO. Lance leads all external financial reporting, including SEC filings and technical accounting research and implementation. Lance has played a key role in multiple initiatives, including a successful public fundraising campaign that resulted in Trust Stamp’s NASDAQ listing in January 2022.

Prior to joining Trust Stamp, Lance served as the Financial Reporting Manager at Cousins Properties (NYSE: CUZ) from July 2020 to July 2021, where he managed all SEC filings, technical accounting projects, and audit engagements. Prior to that, he served in various accounting roles at The North Highland Company, Change Healthcare (formerly McKesson Technology Solutions), and BDO-USA, LLC. Lance holds a Master of Accountancy degree and a Bachelor of Science in Commerce and Business Administration from The University of Alabama.

Lance Wilson has no family relationships with any other director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.

Lance Wilson and the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), with an effective date of January 1, 2025, for his role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Company. The Agreement outlines Mr. Wilson’s ongoing responsibilities, including oversight of the Company’s financial integrity, regulatory compliance, and multicurrency financial reporting. It also details his leadership in investor relations and compliance with applicable SEC, Nasdaq, and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

Under the Agreement, Mr. Wilson will receive an annual base salary of $182,250, subject to periodic review, and will be eligible for an annual equity bonus of at least 10% of his base salary in the form of restricted stock units. The Agreement also includes provisions for reimbursement of business expenses, participation in Company benefit plans, and relocation assistance if applicable.

The Agreement has an open-ended term, continuing until either party provides 120 days’ written notice of termination. It also specifies termination provisions, including compensation and in the event of termination by the Company without cause or by Mr. Wilson for good reason, such as severance equal to up to 36 months of base salary and accelerated vesting of equity awards in certain circumstances, including a change in control. Termination for cause or voluntary resignation without good reason would result in payment of only accrued compensation and benefits through the termination date.

The Agreement contains customary confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions related to the Company’s trade secrets and other sensitive information.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is intended to be a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement itself, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 21, 2025.

### Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 6, 2025

On January 6, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “January 2025 SPA”) with an institutional investor (the “Selling Stockholder”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder (i) in a registered direct offering, (a) 175,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “January 2025 Shares”); and (b) Pre-Funded Warrants (the "January 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase 239,202 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, common stock purchase warrants consisting of Series A common warrants exercisable for up to 414,202 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.45 per share of Class A Common Stock (the “January 2025 Series A Warrants”), and Series B common warrants exercisable for up to 207,101 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.45 per share (the “January 2025 Series B Warrants”, and collectively with the January 2025 Series A Warrants, the “January 2025 Private Placement Warrants”). The offering price per January 2025 Share and respective January 2025 Private Placement Warrants was $8.45, and the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant was $8.449.

The securities to be issued in the registered direct offering were offered pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File 333-271091) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act on April 3, 2023 and declared effective on April 12, 2023. The January 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and will remain exercisable until all of the January 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

The January 2025 Private Placement Warrants (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the January 2025 Private Placement Warrants) were not registered under the Securities Act, and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The terms of the Series A and January 2025 Series B Warrants that comprise the January 2025 Private Placement Warrants are identical, except that the January 2025 Series A Warrants provide for additional protections for the Selling Stockholder in the event of a “Fundamental Transaction” while the January 2025 Series A Warrants are outstanding (which includes, but is not limited to, merger transactions or a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets). In such an event, then if holders of the Company’s Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Selling Stockholder will be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of either the Series A or January 2025 Series B Warrants following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the January 2025 Series A Warrants, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Selling Stockholder may require the Company or its successor to repurchase the January 2025 Series A Warrants for its Black-Scholes Value (as defined in the Series A Warrant) in cash. This right can be exercised concurrently with, or within 30 days following, the consummation or public announcement of the transaction. If the Fundamental Transaction occurs outside the Company’s control, such as in a hostile takeover or an unapproved transaction, the holder is entitled to receive consideration equivalent in type and proportion to that offered to common stockholders, also calculated based on the Black-Scholes model. Additionally, if no consideration is offered to the Company’s stockholders in the transaction, the holder is deemed to receive common stock of the successor entity, preserving the January 2025 Series A Warrants’ value.

The January 2025 Private Placement Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance, and will expire five years thereafter, and in certain circumstances may be exercised on a cashless basis. If we fail for any reason to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock upon the valid exercise of the January 2025 Private Placement Warrants, subject to our receipt of a valid exercise notice and the aggregate exercise price, by the time period set forth in the January 2025 Private Placement Warrants, we are required to pay the applicable holder, in cash, as liquidated damages as set forth in the January 2025 Private Placement Warrants. The January 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants and January 2025 Private Placement Warrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise thereof within the time periods set forth in the January 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants and January 2025 Private Placement Warrants.

On January 8, 2025, the Company closed the registered direct offering and the private placement offering (collectively, the “January 2025 Offering”), raising gross proceeds of approximately $3.50 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. In the event that all January 2025 Private Placement Warrants are exercised for cash, the Company will receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $5,250,250. The Company’s primary use of the net proceeds will be for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the terms of the January 2025 SPA, the Company is required within 30 days of January 6, 2025 to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or other appropriate form if the Company is not then S-1 eligible registering the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable upon the exercise of the January 2025 Private Placement Warrants. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective within 91 days of the closing of the January 2025 Offering, and to keep the registration statement effective at all times until no investor owns any January 2025 Private Placement Warrants or shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

Pursuant to the terms of the January 2025 SPA, from January 6, 2025 until 30 days after closing, subject to certain exceptions, we may not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, or file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than a prospectus supplement for the Shelf Registration Statement. In addition, from January 6, 2025 until 45 days after closing, we are prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents involving a variable rate transaction (as defined in the January 2025 SPA).

The foregoing description of the January 2025 SPA, January 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants, January 2025 Series A Warrants, and January 2025 Series B Warrants is intended to be a summary, and is qualified by reference to the full text of each of these documents, which were filed as exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, respectively to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 10, 2025.

### Markets

Trust Stamp has evaluated the market potential for its services in part by reviewing the following reports, articles, and data sources, none of which were commissioned by the Company, and none of which are to be incorporated by reference:

### Data Security and Fraud

- According to the “2021 Year End Report: Data Breach QuickView” published by Flashpoint, 4,145 publicly disclosed breaches exposed over 22 billion records in 2022.
- The cumulative merchant losses to online payment fraud between 2023 and 2027 will exceed $343 billion globally according to a 2022 report titled “Fighting Online Payment Fraud in 2022 & Beyond” published by Juniper Research.

### Financial and Societal Inclusion

- According to the “Global Findex Database 2021,” published by the World Bank, 1.4 billion people were unbanked as of 2021.
- 131 million small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets lack access to finance, limiting their ability to grow and thrive (UNSGSA Financial Inclusion Webpage, Accessed March 2023).
- The global market for Microfinance is estimated at $157 Billion in the year 2020 and is projected to reach $342 billion by 2026 according to the 2022 report titled “Microfinance - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics” published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. To accelerate our work in this market, the Company has joined the Mastercard Lighthouse MASSIV program designed to empower sustainability and social impact through strategic partnerships aiming to assist participants to scale on a global level.

Trust Stamp’s biometric authentication, liveness detection, and information tokenization enable individuals to verify and establish their identities using data derived from biometrics. While individuals in this market lack traditional means of identity verification, Trust Stamp provides a means to authenticate identity that preserves an individual’s privacy and control over that identity.

### Alternatives to Detention (“ATD”)

- The ATD market includes Federal, State, and Municipal agencies for both criminal justice and immigration purposes. Trust Stamp addresses the ATD market with applications built on Trust Stamp’s privacy-preserving solutions allowing individuals to comply with ATD requirements using ethical and humane technology methodologies. Trust Stamp has developed innovative patented technologies for use in the ATD market encompassing biometrics, geolocation, and tokenization as well as a proprietary, tamper-resistant, battery-free “Tap-In-Band” that can complement or replace biometric check-in requirements and provide a lower-cost and more humane alternative to traditional “ankle bracelet” technology.

In December 2024 we announced a go-to-market agreement with a leading provider of software solutions to the U.S. Federal Government and we are currently pursuing a revised go-to-market strategy based on the priorities of the administration.

### Other Markets

The Company is developing products and working with partners and industry organizations in other sectors that offer significant market opportunities for our existing and pipeline IP and has entered into go-to-market or licensing agreements, including global data location services, healthcare, IoT, access control, smart home systems, and computer vision for UAV operations. We anticipate licensing our technology in numerous fields, typically through established partners who will integrate our technology into field-specific applications.

### Africa

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a landmark agreement that binds 54 African nations and an estimated 1.47 billion people into the world’s largest free trade area. AfCFTA has significant economic potential for Africa, as it aims to create a single market for goods and services across 55 countries, representing over 1.3 billion people with a combined GDP of approximately $3.4 trillion. By reducing trade barriers, the agreement could contribute an additional $450 billion to Africa’s GDP by 2035, lifting 30 million people out of extreme poverty and increasing the incomes of 68 million people, according to the World Bank. Over the next decade, Africa’s share of the world population is projected to reach 21%, up from 13% in 2000. More than 50% of young people entering the workforce will be in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2050, the region’s working-age population will still be rising while it is falling virtually everywhere else, and Africa will be home to an estimated 2.5 billion people, or 25% of all humanity.

Globally, 850 million people did not have identity documents in 2023, with 542 million in Africa. Of that 542 million, 95 million are children who have never had their birth recorded, and 120 million are children without a birth certificate. The single initiative of implementing universal tokenized identity in African countries has the potential to significantly boost the implementing countries' economies. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), countries adopting digital ID programs could unlock economic value equivalent to 3% and 13% of their GDP by 2030.

A transition to digital records for births, marriages, deaths, and electronic identity documents represents a transformative opportunity for developing nations and builds a foundation for economic growth. Establishing a robust digital infrastructure for vital records enhances administrative efficiency, fosters inclusive development, strengthens governance, and unlocks economic potential. Yet, developing African countries are often unable or unwilling to fund the initial capital expenditure required to make the transition.

Trust Stamp has participated in financial inclusion projects in Africa for a number of years through Mastercard’s implementation of our technology and we established a regional R&D center in Rwanda in 2021 to focus on ensuring equity in the development and implementation of biometric technology in Africa. In 2023 we started direct outreach to African countries to initiate national-level digital identity programs and we are in serious and extended dialog with two countries as well as a pilot with Africa’s largest provider of mobile telecommunications services. With the assistance of the Mastercard Lighthouse MASSIV program, we intend to build upon this work to maximize the opportunities to meet the critical need for secure identity programs for both governments and NGOs.

### Principal Products and Services

Trust Stamp develops proprietary artificial intelligence-based technology solutions that utilize machine learning, computer vision, cryptography, and data analysis to protect sensitive data and support identity verification. The Company’s products are designed to prevent fraud, enhance privacy, enable automated decision-making, and improve access to digital services across global markets.

We adhere to the best practices outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) frameworks, and our policies and procedures in managing personally identifiable information (“PII”) comply with General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) requirements wherever such requirements are applicable.

### Key Customers

The Company’s initial business consisted of developing proprietary privacy-first identity solutions and implementing them through custom applications built and maintained for a few key customers. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company added to its product offerings a modular SaaS model intended for low-code or no implementation (“the Orchestration Layer”). The Orchestration Layer has been successful in attracting interested customers with over sixty financial institutions onboarded as of the date of this report, but those institutions have been slow to go into full production which has impacted revenue expectations. An analysis of the slow adoption revealed that many of the institutions would need some level of customization and in fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, the Company has invested in modification of the modules to meet the broader range of needs and preferences identified by the enrolled institutions. Orchestration Layer 2.0 will be “relaunched” in the second quarter of 2025.

Historically, the Company generated most of its income through two long-term partnerships, comprising a relationship with an S&P 500 bank with services provided pursuant to a Master Software Agreement entered into in 2017, together with a relationship with Mastercard International (“Mastercard”) with services provided under the terms of a ten-year technology services agreement entered into in March 2019 (the "TSA”). Both of those relationships remain strong, and the Company anticipates future revenue growth from the two relationships.

Under the TSA, IT2 TM technology is being implemented by Mastercard for Humanitarian & Development purposes as a core element of its Community Pass and Inclusive Identity offerings. Use cases include not only financial services for individuals and businesses but also empowering people and communities to meet basic needs, such as nutritious food, clean water, housing, education, and healthcare. The Company is paid to develop and host software solutions utilizing the IT2 and to support Mastercard’s implementations. In addition, the Company is paid on a “per user per year” basis for all transactions utilizing its technology. In December of 2022, the Company entered into a modification of the agreed pricing schedule with Mastercard to move from a per-use to a per-user-year model to broaden the range of potential use cases. The TSA may be terminated by either party in the event of a material breach by the other party that remains uncured within thirty days after notice is received of such a breach. Either party may terminate the TSA if the other party becomes, including, but not limited to, insolvent, subject to bankruptcy, dissolved, or liquidated. Unless the TSA is terminated, the TSA will automatically renew for additional one year-periods in perpetuity unless either party provides ninety days written notice of intent not to renew. To date, the Company has received guaranteed minimum annual payments on account of usage. According to the October 2023 interview of Mastercard Executive Vice President and Founder of the Community Pass from the article titled “Mastercard’s Community Pass founder says digital ID platform improving lives, digital inclusion” published by Biometric Update. Mastercard’s Community Pass program currently serves approximately 3.5 million users and is targeting 30 million users by 2027.

In 2022, the Company expanded its key customer base to include a relationship with FIS, a relationship-focused upon the implementation of our Orchestration Layer and underlying technologies in FIS’ Global KYC product offering.

The Orchestration Layer is a low-code platform that is designed to be a one-stop shop for Trust Stamp services and provides easy integration to our products; chargeable on a per-use basis. The Orchestration Layer utilizes the Company’s next-generation identity package, offering rapid deployment across devices and platforms, with custom workflows that seamlessly orchestrate trust across the identity lifecycle for a consistent user experience in processes for onboarding and KYC/AML, multi-factor authentication, account recovery, fraud prevention, compliance, and more. The Orchestration Layer facilitates no-code and low-code implementations of the Company’s technology making adoption and updating faster and cost-effective for a broader range of potential customers.

As of March 31, 2025, a total of 76 financial institutions with over $348 billion in assets have been onboarded via FIS, bringing the total number of (FIS and non-FIS) customers either fully implemented or currently implementing the Orchestration Layer to 87. Additional financial institutions have been onboarded subsequently to March 31, 2025, and as of the date of this report, there are a total of 94 customers implemented on the Orchestration Layer. The first (non-FIS) client onboarded to the Orchestration Layer in the third quarter of 2022 has generated $462 thousand of revenue for the Company to date including $37 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

### Key Business Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key non-GAAP business measures to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and financial projections, and make strategic decisions.

### Adjusted EBITDA

This discussion includes information about Adjusted EBITDA that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included below.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) other expense, (2) other income, (3) gain on sale of mobile hardware, (4) interest expense, (5) interest income, (6) stock-based compensation, (7) change in fair value of warrant liabilities (8) impairment of assets, (9) non-cash expenses for in-kind services, (10) depreciation, and (11) certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under U.S. GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our Company and our management, and it will be a focus as we invest in and grow the business.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs.
- Although Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
- Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of certain charges or gains resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP results.

### Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Net loss | (2,157,387) | (2,678,569) |
| Add: Other expense | 1,726 | 6,336 |
| Less: Other income | (26,361) | (193,114) |
| Add: Interest expense, net | 23,595 | 18,549 |
| Add: Stock-based compensation | 60,556 | 297,886 |
| Add: Change in fair value of warrant liability | (4,559) | (2,460) |
| Add: Depreciation and amortization | 182,922 | 184,801 |
| Adjusted EBITDA loss (non-GAAP) | $(1,919,508) | $(2,366,571) |

Adjusted EBITDA loss (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by 18.89%, to a $1.92 million million loss from a $2.37 million loss for the three ended March 31, 2024. The overall decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss (non-GAAP) was driven by a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a reduction in salaries and compensation, including stock-based compensation, which decreased by 55% from the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, the salaries and compensation expenses decreased due to reductions in sales teams, departure of EVP of Mergers and Acquisition, and the departure of the former CFO with the replacement filled internally while the vacant role created from the promotion was not subsequently replaced. The Company also had a slight decrease in net revenue due to a new Mastercard Software Amendment executed in February 2025, with reduced fixed monthly license fees. The decrease in net revenue was partially offset by a new Statement of Work executed on January 1, 2025 under the Master Technology Services Agreement between the Company (through its subsidiary, Trust Stamp Malta Ltd.) and QID Technologies LLC (“QID”), which provides for service fees payable to the Company of a minimum $100,000 per month during the first six months, and up to $300,000 per month thereafter, payable on or before the 25th day of each month.

### Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

### Net revenue

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net revenue | $545,471 | $573,676 | $(28,205) | (4.92)% |

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Net revenue decreased to $545 thousand, or an 4.92% decrease from the Net revenue of $574 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the $545 thousand in Net revenue consisted of $347 thousand from an S&P 500 bank, $88 thousand from QID under the Master Technology Services Agreement, $37 thousand from Triton, $35 thousand from Mastercard, $26 thousand from FIS and various other customers for the remaining $13 thousand.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 there was a decrease in Net revenue due to a new Mastercard Software Amendment executed in February 2025, with reduced fixed monthly license fees. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $30 thousand for Mastercard Software License Fees, meanwhile, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recognized $86 thousand.

The decrease in Net revenue was partially offset by an increase of income from the Statement of Work under the QID Master Technology Services Agreement executed on January 1, 2025. The Statement of Work under the QID Master Technology Services Agreement, the Company provides services to QID of a minimum $100 thousand per month from January 2025 - June 2025, and up to $300 thousand per month thereafter. During three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company billed $300 thousand under this new agreement, compared to none during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In accordance with ASC 606 guidance, the Company recognized $88 thousand revenue and recorded $218 thousand to deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

### Cost of services

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Cost of services | $300,710 | $294,598 | $6,112 | 2.07% |

Cost of services (“COS”) increased by $6 thousand or 2.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a $20 thousand increase in Cost of services related to the QID Master Services Agreement. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $14 thousand in internal development cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to decrease in service requests resulting from the Mastercard Software License reductions.

### Research and development

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Research and development | $437,235 | $451,842 | $(14,607) | (3.23)% |

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by $15 thousand, or 3.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in R&D expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the decrease in outsourced software development with 10Clouds as the Company continued to transition this work internally which results in cost savings as internal work is more cost effective. Comparatively, outsourced software development costs decreased by 99.21% when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024. In both periods, R&D expenses mainly were related to R&D payroll and other R&D compensation expenses.

### Selling, general, and administrative

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Selling, general, and administrative | $1,787,590 | $2,491,693 | $(704,103) | (28.26)% |

Selling, general, and administrative expense (“SG&A”) decreased by $704 thousand, or 28.26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in SG&A expense was driven by a $664 thousand decrease in salaries, stock-based compensation, payroll costs, and sales commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior period. The $664 thousand decrease includes a $161 thousand reduction in stock-based compensation awards during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, the sales team was reduced from 9 team members during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 0 team members during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Similarly, the EVP of Mergers and Acquisitions left the Company in December 2024 and was not subsequently replaced and the CFO role was vacated in January 2025 and filled internally while the vacant role left was not subsequently replaced.

In addition, the Company incurred a $131 thousand decreases in legal and professional, travel costs, marketing, dues and subscription, and other operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The decreases in SG&A were partially offset by net variance increases for accounting and audit fees, rent and taxes amounting to $91 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

### Depreciation and amortization

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Depreciation and amortization | $182,922 | $184,801 | $(1,879) | (1.02)% |

Depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) decreased by $2 thousand, or 1.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The primary driver for the decrease in D&A is due to fully depreciating the Pixelpin (an asset acquired in March 2021) intangible asset during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There was $0 of Pixelpin amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $6 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Pixelpin asset balance was fully depreciated in February 2024.

### Operating loss

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Operating loss | $(2,162,986) | $(2,849,258) | $686,272 | (24.09)% |

The Company’s Operating loss decreased by $686 thousand or 24.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in Operating loss was mainly related to the decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) and Research and development (R&D) expenses.

### Interest expense, net

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Interest expense, net | $(23,595) | $(18,549) | $(5,046) | 27.20% |

Interest expense, net increased by $5 thousand, or 27.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to $13 thousand of interest expense incurred with respect to interest due to the Sentilink loan that the Company entered into on November 13, 2024 and was fully paid in January 2025. This increase was partially offset by the decrease of $8 thousand as a result of the Malta loan interest rate decreasing from 6.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 5.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

### Change in fair value of warrant liability

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Change in fair value of warrant liability | $4,559 | $2,460 | $2,099 | 85.33% |

The Company recognized a gain in Change in fair value of warrant liability during the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $5 thousand compared to a gain of $2 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change is based on the fair value assessment and adjustment for one warrant liability as described in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements provided under Item 1 of this report.

### Other income

Other income decreased by $167 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $187 thousand gain from a settlement of a mobile hardware bill that was outstanding as of December 31, 2023, which we negotiated for a lower payment, and paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There was no such gain during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset during the three months ended March 31, 2025 by other income amounting to $26 thousand that was recognized from two Xjenza projects that the Company had entered into with the government of Malta. Both agreements were not in place during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

### Other expense

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Other expense | $(1,726) | $(6,336) | $4,610 | (72.76)% |

Other expense decreased by $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.14 million cash in its banking accounts. The Company is generating revenues, but has not yet generated profits, with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $2.16 million, Net operating cash outflows of $1.54 million for the same period, and an accumulated deficit of $63.62 million as of March 31, 2025. The Company is not currently generating sufficient amounts of cash to meet its requirements for the next 12 months. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise capital from equity and/or debt financings within the next six (6) months in order to fund its operations. The Company has not yet made any sales under its Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Maxim, as sales agent or principal, up to $6,196,000 worth of its shares of Common Stock, which the Company believes can be utilized to supplement its cash requirements going forward.

On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into a secured promissory note, which provides for a term loan to the Company with the principal amount of $3.00 million and interest rate of 14% per annum. Principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under this note shall be due and payable upon demand of the noteholder at any time after January 12, 2025. The note is secured by all of the Borrower’s assets, including receivables. The secured promissory note was fully repaid on January 10, 2025.

### Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not yet generated profits, with a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $2.16 million, net operating cash outflows of $1.54 million for the same period, and an accumulated deficit of $63.62 million as of March 31, 2025.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months, following the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to generate revenue and raise capital as needed to satisfy its capital needs. While the negotiation of significant additional revenue is well advanced, it has not reached a stage that allows it to be factored into a going concern evaluation. In addition, although the Company has previously been successful in raising capital as needed and has already made plans to do so as well as restructuring expenses to meet the Company’s cash needs, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its capital raising efforts. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

### Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 |

Net cash flows used in operating activities decreased by 28.60% from $2.16 million during the three ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.54 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Of the $2.16 million net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were various cash and non-cash adjustments that were added back to the Net loss to arrive at $1.54 million cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Those adjustments included the add back of $61 thousand related to stock-based compensation mainly due to the timing of stock-based compensation awards. There was a $164 thousand decrease in stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the three ended March 31, 2024 due to the reduction stock-based compensation awards. Another add back of $600 thousand is included for note receivable payments received from a license agreement with QID entered into on November 12, 2024. Additionally, there is an add back of $197 thousand in deferred revenue primarily related to QID revenue billed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that will be recognized by the end of the current year, $119 thousand for prepaid expenses, and $183 thousand for non-cash depreciation and amortization.

The add backs were offset by reductions in certain cash and noncash adjustments including $368 thousand for cash received on accounts receivable, and $187 thousand from the increase in accruals.

### Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $230 thousand, compared to net cash of $156 thousand used in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

### Critical Accounting Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, as well as related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting estimates policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

## Market risk

As filed, 186 characters.

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 6,150 characters.

### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding our control objectives.

As of March 31, 2025, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below. This determination is based on the previously reported material weakness management previously identified in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below. We are in the process of remediating the material weakness in our internal control, as described below. We believe the completion of these processes should remedy our disclosure controls and procedures. We will continue to monitor this issue.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management has concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

### Previously Reported Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have determined that we did not design and maintain effective internal controls, including property design and implementation of controls over management’s review of the Company’s accounting for and recording of complex equity transactions. Therefore, management has concluded that: (1) the above control deficiency constitutes a material weakness; and (2) in turn, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

### Management’s Plan to Remediate the Previously Reported Material Weakness

Management has evaluated the material weakness described above and has updated its design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting to remediate the aforementioned material weakness and enhance the Company’s internal control environment. It is management's belief that these added controls will effectively remediate the previous existing material weakness. However, the implemented and enhanced controls have not operated for a sufficient period of time and additional testing will be required during 2025 to ensure that the internal control environment is operating as designed before we can conclude the material weakness has been remediated. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures.

### Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As a publicly traded company, we are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management identified a material weaknesses in internal control related to proper design and implementation of controls over management’s review of the Company’s accounting for and recording of complex equity transactions in our Quarterly Report for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024. The implemented and enhanced controls for remediation have not operated for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate that the material weakness was remediated as of the date of this report. As a result, management concluded that the Company has not maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025.

### Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

While we continue to implement design enhancements to our internal control procedures, we believe that, other than the changes described above regarding the ongoing remediation efforts, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
