("Boardwalktech" or the "Company"), a leading digital ledger platform and enterprise software solutions company, is pleased to report its financial results for the three- and six-month period ended September 30, 2023. All figures are reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Boardwalktech's financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue for Q2- 2024 was $1.53 million, a 3% increase from $1.48 million in Q2-FY23 and versus $1.55 million in Q1-FY23. Revenue from recurring SaaS licenses in Q2-FY24 increased 10% year-over-year from incremental licenses executed with new and existing customers, but was offset by a 21% decline in professional services.
  • Annual recurring revenue ("ARR"), a non-IFRS metric, at September 30, 2023 was $5.7 million, a 3.6% year-over-year increase versus ARR of $5.5 million at September 30, 2022. The Company defines ARR as the annual recurring revenue expected based on license subscriptions and recurring services recognized in the quarter.
  • Gross margin for Q2-FY24 was 90.1%, comparable with the 90.3% level in Q2-FY23 and 90.0% in Q1-FY24.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q2-FY24 was a loss of $(0.36) million, a 47% improvement over the $(0.68) million loss in Q2 Fiscal 2023 and a 30% improvement over the $(0.51) million loss in Q1 Fiscal 2024.
  • Cash inflow from Operating Activities was a positive $0.2 million, the third time over the last six quarters.
  • Non-IFRS net loss for Q2-FY24 (as defined in the Non-IFRS Financial Measures section) totaled $(0.38) million, or a loss of $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, versus a $(0.7) million non-IFRS loss in Q2-FY23, or a loss of $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, and versus a $(0.52) million non-IFRS loss in Q1-FY24, or a loss of $(0.01) per basic and diluted share.
  • Net loss for Q2-FY24 was $(0.7) million, or a loss of $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, a 40% improvement from a $(1.2) million loss in Q2-FY23, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, and a 22% improvement from $(0.9) million loss in Q1 Fiscal 2024, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share. The year-over-year improvement was due primarily from higher recurring revenue levels and prudent cost management.

Subsequent Operations Highlights

  • On November 27, 2023, the Company announced the extension and expansion of its existing engagement with a leading Fortune 50 technology company, including the first annual license. Combined license and services revenue from this expanded plan is expected to exceed US$400,000 over the next 12 months.

"After experiencing a breakout year of growth in Fiscal 2023, Boardwalktech is positioned to return to that level of growth as we enter into our next phase of expansion. While recent market headwinds and customer centric issues means these deals have taken longer to close, we believe the longer-term impact to growth and earnings have, and will be, worth the wait," stated Andrew T. Duncan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boardwalktech. "As our land and expand strategy for our digital ledger solution continues to deliver consistent growth, additional growth will be driven by our expanded sales efforts through strategic teaming agreements, new complementary product offerings such as Unity Central, and new logos. The holistic Boardwalktech platform is emerging as the go-to, high ROI solution for enterprise data management and supply chain visibility solutions."
