Revenue Increased 72% over Q1 2022
EDMONTON, AB / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2023 / OneSoft Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "OneSoft") (TSXV: OSS), (OTCQB:OSSIF), a North American developer of cloud-based business solutions, announces its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 ("Q1 2023").
Please refer to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com for more information. The MD&A contains a complete analysis of Q1 2023 and other information. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are denominated in Canadian dollars.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenue in Q1 2023 was $2.2 million, an increase of 72% or $0.9 million over Q1 2022 revenue of $1.3 million.
- Gross profit increased 73% to $1.6 million in Q1 2023 from $0.9 million in Q1 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 70.5% in Q1 2023 versus 70.1% in Q1 2022.
- The net loss was $0.7 million in Q1 2023, an $0.4 million improvement over Q1 2022's loss of $1.1 million, driven by the increase in gross profit.
- Liquid assets increased by $2.7 million to total $7.4 million at March 31, 2023 ($4.7 million as at December 31, 2022), comprised of $5.2 million cash and accounts receivable of $2.2 million. Customers renewing their CIM contracts for CIM usage generated the increase.
Quarterly Revenue
The chart below shows revenue for the past twenty-seven quarters (6.75 years), equating to a compounded quarterly growth rate of 74.1%. Quarterly revenue increased because of the continued addition of new customers and augmented by the influx of customers gained June 20, 2022 in the acquisition of IM Operations. Management's objective is to continue to increase revenues to drive cash flow and profitability which we believe will increase future Company value for shareholders.
REVIEW OF FISCAL 2023 GUIDANCE
Further to the Company's Fiscal 2023 guidance stated in a news release issued on January 24, 2023, Management currently believes that the Company is on track to achieve Fiscal 2023 financial results as stated in its guidance. Relevant figures for Q1 2023 are summarized in the following table.
Readers are encouraged to refer to the Q1 2023 MD&A for more information regarding guidance and actual Q1 2023 figures.
BUSINESS UPDATE
Technology Development and Product Roadmaps
To strengthen the Company's competitive moat and in response to input regarding existing customers' functionality requirements, we continue to execute and deliver upon our technology and product development plans. In consultation with current and prospective customers, the Company expended efforts to advance its core Cognitive Integrity Management ("CIM"), Internal and External Corrosion, Crack and Risk modules. Management believes CIM enhancements continue to build and strengthen our competitive moat, encourage customer loyalty and contribute to customer "stickiness". We believe that providing the full complement of SaaS functionality requested by customers will provide opportunities to increase revenues from existing and future customers and preclude them from investigating potentially competitive solutions in future periods.
The Company also continued to research pipeline bending strain and potentially other aspects of geohazard threat management. If this project proceeds beyond the Innovation Lab through to product commercialization, the resulting module(s) will be marketed as additional revenue generating components of CIM.
Sales & Marketing
Sales and marketing initiatives continued in Q1 2023 which included sales efforts with prospective customers in North America and other jurisdictions in the world. OneSoft expects to enter into multi-year CIM SaaS contracts with new customers and to sell CIM components and services to IM Operations customers in Fiscal 2023 and future years.
The Company invested resources to upgrade various marketing processes and tools during the last quarter, which we believe will optimize lead generation and sales efforts in future periods. These processes and tools are expected to improve customer support and enhance referability of CIM and related modules by existing customers to prospective customers.
Please refer to the MD&A for more information regarding the Company's progress.
OUTLOOK
Management believes that sales and revenue growth will continue into the foreseeable future based on three factors: (a) the Company's solutions are continually receiving strong validation as CIM use increases and user experiences are shared amongst industry participants; (b) our pipeline of prospective customers continues to grow; and (c) our competitive moat continues to grow, evidenced by the fact that we have not seen any competing solution to CIM that leverages machine learning, data science and cloud computing commercialized to date, world-wide, at tradeshows or during competitive sales processes. We are encouraged that certain prospective customers, who are not early adopters of new technology and who had no prior interest in replacing their legacy systems and processes with CIM, are now considering CIM as their next generation solution, as a result of the positive user experiences and validations stated by our current customers. We believe that the Company has crossed the chasm from only dealing with innovators and early adopter customers to now include majority market customer cohorts.
Sales efforts are currently underway with prospective customers in North and South America, Europe, Middle East and Australia, and several U.S. based customers have initiated efforts to expand their use of our solutions to their international operating divisions. Management believes that OneSoft is poised for approximately 50% revenue growth in Fiscal 2023 over Fiscal 2022 and to achieve near cash-neutral monthly operations late in Fiscal 2023. With a strong balance sheet, sufficient cash on hand and a strong base of hallmark customers who generate recurring revenues, we believe there will be no requirement to raise additional capital to execute current business and operational plans.
