- Total contract value of new bookings1 was $5.1 million for the three months ending January 31, 2024 as compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year.
- Platform contractual backlog of $12.2 million as of January 31, 2024 as compared to $3.4 million as of January 31, 2023; excludes an additional $10.0 million of agreements pending installation1 versus approximately $3.0 million of agreements pending installation last year.
"I'm pleased to announce another solid quarter for Xtract One, with strong margins and top line growth setting the stage for our best year ever," stated Peter Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Xtract One. "Quarterly revenue rose to nearly $3 million - more than triple that of fiscal 2023 - and we continued to build our backlog of sales commitments, now over $22 million versus approximately $7 million last year. While the fiscal second quarter is typically impacted by seasonal factors, we remain on track for record-setting performance, with strong results anticipated in the second half of the fiscal year. We are committed to meeting the increasing demand of our expanding customer base and look forward to growth acceleration this year and beyond."
Financial Results for the three month period ended January 31, 2024
Consolidated revenue was $2.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $0.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. Revenue from the Platform operating segment was $2.8 million for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2023, reflecting new business contract wins and overall increasing demand. Revenue for the Xtract operating segment was $0.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $0.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2023.
Loss and comprehensive loss was $3.3 million for the three month period ended January 31, 2024 as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in Platform revenue and corresponding higher gross profit, while total operating expenses remained relatively flat year-over-year.
