FINANCIAL RESULTS

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Revenue this quarter increased by 32% over Q1 Fiscal 2023.
  • Gross profit this quarter increased by 40% over Q1, Fiscal 2023.
  • Gross margin increased to 74.8% from 70.5%.
  • Net loss increase of $77,000 is attributed to increased costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure reconciled to the net loss below, improved by $135,000 in Q1 2024.
  • Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.2 million to $8.0 million as at March 31, 2024.
  • The chart below shows quarterly revenue for the past 7.75 years. Quarterly revenue generally continues to increase in accordance with Management's expectations, as a result of expanded use of the Company's software and IM Operations services by existing customers.

BUSINESS UPDATE

The Company continued to develop new functionality modules that integrate with the CIM platform, including External Corrosion Management ("ECM"), Crack Management ("CM"), Probabilistic Risk Management ("RM") and Geohazard Strain Management ("GS"). A product manager for RM was recruited in the quarter and whose employment commenced April 1, 2024. Management believes this addition to staff will accelerate the pace of development of RM. The Company announced commercial availability of its first version of a new Crack Management ("CM") module, wherein input from initial users will be used to iterate deeper functionality into subsequent versions of CM.

Several customers continued to expand their use of CIM by ingesting additional miles and adopting the new functionality offered to them, including the Internal Corrosion ("IC") module that generated new subscription revenue and associated service revenue in the quarter.

Management is optimistic that these modules, after they are completed and fully commercialized, will be embraced by current and future customers. This is based on expressions of interest from customers and input from the formalized steering committee initiated at the October 2023 user group event that is comprised of senior industry personnel whose roles include direct integrity management functions and control of the associated budgets.

The Company encountered several administrative delays by prospective customers which delayed the signing of new CIM contracts in Q1 2024, and which Management believes will occur in Fiscal 2024.

The Company attended the Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management tradeshow and exhibition event in Houston, TX ("PPIM") in Q1 and prepared to attend the Pipeline Technology Conference in Berlin, Germany in April 2024, concurrent with establishing a sales office in England to target potential customers in the European, Middle East and African Regions ("EMEA"). Company personnel presented white paper research at both events, which garnered interest in our solutions from new prospective customers.

The Company's client services team engaged in numerous customer projects involving integrity management and compliance, geographic information system ("GIS") integrations, loading of ILI assessments into CIM, migrating data from legacy systems into CIM, integrating with various customer software applications and CIM training. This work resulted in services revenue increasing over Q1 2023.

The Company's employee roster increased by 8 new hires since Q1 2023 and employee retention remains high.

CORPORATE UPDATE

Management attended the CEM AlphaNorth Capital Event investor conference in Nassau, Bahamas in January 2024 and hosted numerous one-on-one meetings with current and prospective shareholders of OneSoft during the quarter.

Management and Directors continued to seek and consider business development with potential reseller partners to generate organic revenue growth and M&A strategies that could foster inorganic revenue growth. In Q1 2024, the Company incurred approximately $344,000 in expenses obtaining legal, accounting and taxation advice on several M&A transaction scenarios. While no new opportunities have concluded to date, management believes these initiatives will be beneficial in the future. Developments in this regard will be disclosed as appropriate.

FISCAL 2024 GUIDANCE

The following table reflects the Fiscal 2024 financial guidance published on February 20, 2024 and actual results for Q1. Fiscal 2024 guidance is not being changed at this time.

Notes regarding 2024 Guidance:

  • Fiscal 2024 revenue is estimated to be in the range of $15 million to $16 million, representing a 44% to 54% increase, respectively, over Fiscal 2023 revenue. Revenue in Q1 2024 was below expectation due to delayed signing of new customers in the quarter. Management believes the Q1 2024 revenue gap will be overcome and is confirming its Fiscal 2024 revenue guidance at this time.
  • The Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA results for Q1 2024 include $344,000 of expenses incurred in Q1 for M&A investigation. Although a portion of these expenses were not contemplated when the Fiscal 2024 guidance was published, Management is not changing its Fiscal 2024 Guidance at this point but will review this after the conclusion of Q2 2024 to determine if any revisions to its Guidance estimates are warranted.
  • As expected, many customers renewed their CIM contracts during Q1 2024 and paid the subscription price at the start of the contract period. This caused cash and deferred revenue to exceed their respective year-end values forecast in the Fiscal 2024 guidance. Management anticipates that payment of expenses prior to 2024 year-end and realization of deferred revenue in 2024 should cause these values to reduce by year-end to those stated in the Guidance. Deferred revenue may vary materially from Guidance due to CIM utilization by customers and is also dependent upon achieving planned revenue and closing of sales to new customers during 2024.

OUTLOOK

Fiscal 2023 was a pivotal year for OneSoft, with the Company achieving its key objectives of: (a) exceeding $10 million revenue; (b) achieving near zero adjusted EBITDA for the year; and (c) gaining more traction to become the next generation data management and analytics platform for the O&G pipeline industry. Management believes the Company has securely crossed the new technology adoption chasm wherein its technology and solutions have been strongly validated by industry innovators and visionary early adopters. The Company's 2024 objectives include completing the new functionality modules currently under development, integrating them into the CIM platform and advancing its role as the sole SaaS vendor to fulfill customers' functionality requirements regarding data management and analytics. Q4 Fiscal 2023 customer acquisitions and prospective customer interest confirms that the Company has successfully progressed to attract more pragmatic customers, who are conservative in their adoption of new technology and represent the majority of marketplace opportunities that the Company is pursuing.

The Company's sales pipeline continues to strengthen, irrespective that closing of sales for certain prospective customers has encountered delays. Management is optimistic that these expected customer additions are only delayed rather than lost and that OneSoft is well positioned to capitalize on its first mover technology advantage to deliver enhanced benefits to customers and increase value for shareholders.
