The Glimpse Group, Inc.: The Glimpse Group Reports Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Transition to Spatial Core AI and Cloud Driven Revenues Gaining Traction

Expect Significantly Higher Revenue In The Upcoming Quarters

Expect to Be Cash Flow Positive In The Upcoming Quarters Based on Signed Contracts Alone

Extreme Valuation Disconnect A Catalyst For Strategic Review To Maximize Shareholder Value

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2024 / The Glimpse Group, Inc. ("Glimpse") (NASDAQ:VRAR), a diversified Immersive Technology platform company providing enterprise-focused Virtual Reality ("VR"), Augmented Reality ("AR") and Spatial Computing software and services, provided financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 ("FY'24").

Business Commentary by President & CEO Lyron Bentovim

Strategic Summary:

• Spatial Core:

  • As discussed in previous releases, in FY '24 we strategically transitioned the Company to primarily focus its development resources on providing enterprise-scale Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven Immersive recurring software solutions - "Spatial Core" - led by Brightline Interactive ("BLI").

  • Spatial Core Traction :

    • $4MM+, 12-month contract with a Department of Defense ("DoD") entity for a Spatial Computing ecosystem, integrating AI workflows and accelerated compute for a variety of defense use-cases.

    • Entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center, to develop, assess and improve workflows to create and augment synthetic imagery for use in training and assessing AI and machine learning ML algorithms.

    • Extended partnership with a Fortune 500 government Systems Integrator (GSI) for VR Training in Digital Twin Environments to a key U.S. government agency with over 45,000 employees on a mid six figure contract.

    • BLI, Cesium & NVIDIA teamed up at the GEOspatial INTelligence (GEOINT) Symposium 2024 to introduce Brightline's Spatial Core which uses AI workflows for complex computations on top of real life data sets, enabling powerful real time, massive data driven, digital twin and simulation applications.

    • Successfully Completed the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the US Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) for the adaptation of immersive technologies.

    • Completed a contract to support a major immersive technology hardware provider to accelerate their computing interfaces into GPU-enabled cloud, with streaming and visualization capabilities.

  • We are in an advanced process of securing several additional multi-million dollar Spatial Core contracts with multiple Government, DoD and large enterprise customers. The short-term aggregate value for these contracts is in the $5-10 million range. While there is no guarantee that some or all of these will come to fruition, we anticipate that, subject to government annual budgeting timing, a good portion of these will be signed before yearend '24, with additional potential contract signings in CY '25.

  • Each of these potential contracts has significant growth elements built into them that could lead to significant annual recurring software revenue once the original contracts have been successfully performed.

• Non Spatial Core:

  • We have continued the process of consolidating and pruning the rest of our business to focus on sustainable profitable growth. As a result, our other entities are generating positive momentum. For example:

    • In recent months, QReal has seen an increase in its revenues with Snap for AR 3D models and lenses.

    • Glimpse Learning entered into a two year, mid-six figure contract with the College of Staten Island CUNY ("CSI") Technology Incubator for the design, deployment and integration of a suite of immersive technologies in its new Innovation Hub. This is a cross Glimpse project, with a strong software license component

    • Sector 5 Digital ("S5D") entered into a 6-figure engagement with one of the world's largest architecture firms to visualize in AR the new business campus of a multinational retail company.

    • Foretell Reality entered into a 6-figure partnership with a large University to develop an AI-driven VR training system enabling students and trainees to learn various professional skills through conversation-centric simulations with an AI-based avatar in different immersive settings.

Financial Summary:

• FY '24 revenue of approximately $8.8 million, a 35% decrease compared to FY '23 revenue of approximately $13.5 million, primarily driven by: i) our strategic shift to Spatial Core which led to a turnover in our legacy customer base, which was more Immersive marketing oriented iii) consolidation and divestiture of some of our entities and iii) a general slowdown in corporate disposable spending in general and in the Immersive industry in particular.

• Q4 FY '24 (April - June) quarterly revenue of approximately $1.7 million, a 41% decrease compared to Q4 FY '23 revenue of approximately $2.9 million.

• Looking forward, we expect: i) revenue for Q1 FY '25 (ending September '24) to be significantly higher than Q4 FY '24 revenue, and ii) revenue for Q2 FY '25 (ending December '24) and Q3 FY '25 (ending March '25) will each exceed $3 million per quarter.

• Gross Margin for FY '24 was approximately 67% compared to 68% for FY '23. We expect our Gross Margins to continue to remain in the 60-70% range.

• Adjusted EBITDA loss for FY '24 was approximately $4.63 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $6.46 million for FY '23. Our current cash operating expense base (pre revenue) is approximately $1.0 million/month. Given our projected revenue for Q2 FY '25 and Q3 FY '25, we expect to generate positive cash flow in each of those two quarters based on existing contracts only and our current operating expense base.

• The Company's cash and equivalent position as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $1.85 million, with an additional $0.7 million in accounts receivable. We do not intend to raise capital in the foreseeable future, especially since we expect our operations to generate positive cash and add to our cash balance between now and year-end '24

• We continue to maintain a clean capital structure with no debt, no convertible debt and no preferred equity.

• For the full detail of our financial results, please refer to our 8K and 10K filed on 9/30/24.

VRAR Stock/Valuation

• On September 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing ($1.00/share). We have until March 3, 2025 to cure this deficiency and, if not cured by then, the Company can apply for an additional 180 day extension to cure (to approximately September 2, 2025).

• The Company's receipt of the notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of our common shares, which continue to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker "VRAR". In addition, it does not affect the Company's business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

• In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq, the Company may consider various potential measures to resolve the deficiency, such as: leveraging its unutilized share buyback pool, insider buying and press releases announcing significant business developments when/if those materialize. Such measures, if any are taken, may help cure the deficiency in due time. The Company is not considering a reverse stock split at this time, a position that may change in the future.

• In light of Spatial Core's AI and Cloud driven revenues with large DoD entities, our strong pipeline of revenues and our expectation to generate positive cash flows going forward, we believe that there is a sharp disconnect between our intrinsic value and our current public company valuation. As such, the Board of Directors of the Company is exploring strategic options to maximize shareholder value.

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company's internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
