Precise Biometrics Introduces Palm Recognition - A New Addition to Its Biometrics Portfolio Precise Biometrics launches a new product and biometric modality - palm recognition - that will complement the current modalities fingerprint and face recognition. Leveraging the same foundation and expertise as its renowned fingerprint algorithm, palm recognition further strengthens the company's unique position. The launch will enable Precise Biometrics to address even more customers and use-cases and is expected to contribute to increasing sales across verticals. This new addition of palm recognition marks a significant milestone in Precise Biometrics' development and extends its biometric suite beyond the existing offering of fingerprint and facial recognition. Palm recognition will be available as a software algorithm product as well as seamlessly integrated into the company's biometric access management (YOUNiQ Access) and visitor management (YOUNiQ Visit) products. Palm recognition combines high security with improved usability and offers several distinct advantages. With touchless interaction, users can enjoy a hygienic and convenient authentication process. Its clear intent and seamless user experience ensure rapid and reliable authentication, enhancing security without compromising user convenience. Some important use cases include access control, visitor management and payments. Adding palm recognition to the company's biometric suite also provides important multifactor biometric authentication (MFA) solutions by enabling combinations of different biometric modalities. The flexibility of MFA enhances security levels even further and provides organizations with customizable authentication and identification options tailored to their specific needs. The solution is touchless and at the same time device agnostic, meaning that users can be securely identified by an IP camera, tablet or a palm recognition device that is able to take a photo with the correct characteristics. One of Precise Biometrics' initial development partners in the area of palm recognition is Hand.ID, an American company offering specific palm recognition readers. Reported Earnings • Feb 18

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 95% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.
