The Glimpse Group Reports Q1 Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2023 / The Glimpse Group, Inc. ("Glimpse") (NASDAQ:VRAR)(FSE:9DR), 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 first quarter fiscal year 2024 ("Q1 FY'24").

Business Summary by President & CEO Lyron Bentovim

Q1 FY '24 (July 1, 2023 - September 30, 2023) was highlighted by:

  • Q1 FY '24 quarterly revenue of approximately $3.1 million, a 7% Q-Q increase compared to Q4 FY '23 revenue of approximately $2.9 million and a 22% decrease compared to the record revenue of approximately $3.95 million in Q1 FY '23.
  • Over the last month we have continued to make strong progress in our previously detailed strategic shift to Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven Immersive software solutions. We also expect to announce significant contracts in the coming months. In parallel, we have been realigning the Company, reducing headcount and investments in non-core areas and working on divesting non-core assets.
  • As previously discussed, we expect Q2 FY '24 to have lower revenue as we execute on this plan, but also expect a rebound in Q3 FY '24 revenue as we begin to recognize revenue relating to our strategic shift.
  • Gross Margin for Q1 FY ‘24 was approximately 62% compared to 69% for Q1 FY ‘23. We expect our Gross Margins to continue to remain in the 60-70% range, depending on the revenue mix in a quarter and we expect our margins to be at the higher end of the range in the second half of the fiscal year as our strategic shift comes into play.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q1 FY'24 was approximately $1.29 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $1.05 million for Q1 FY '23, which had a higher revenue base.
  • In the past year, we have reduced headcount by approximately 40% and will continue to do so going forward as part of our strategic plan. This will enable us to, going forward, reach cash flow neutrality at approximately this quarter's level of annual revenues excluding growth investments.
  • After the closing of the previously reported registered direct financing (October 3, 2023), the Company's cash position was in excess of $6.5 million.
  • We continue to maintain a clean capital structure with no debt, no convertible debt and no preferred equity.

Stock Repurchase Plan

  • On November 13, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into a common share repurchase plan ("Buyback") of up to $2 million to be utilized during the next three years. We are committed to investing in the growth opportunities in front of us and the operations of the business, and as such, do not anticipate utilizing this plan once it has been put in place. However, we view the Buyback as a strategic tool to potentially be used in case of extraordinary further developments with our stock price.

Q2 FY '23 Financial Summary (for full detail of our financial results please refer to our 8K and 10Q filed on 11/14/23)

  • Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $3.10 million compared to approximately $3.95 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of 22%. The decrease reflects a general slowdown in the Immersive technology industry.
  • Gross profit was approximately 62% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to approximately 69% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by lower margin project revenue being a greater percentage of total revenue in 2023.
  • Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $2.09 million compared to $8.17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 74%. The decrease is driven by a 2023 gain in the change in fair value of contingent consideration for the S5D and BLI acquisitions in 2023 and reductions in research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses in 2023.
  • Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.12 million and $5.38 million, respectively, an improvement of 98%. This reflects a reduction in operating expenses and a gain in change in fair value of acquisition contingent consideration.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.05 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
  • As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.93 million. On October 3, 2023, the Company received net cash proceeds of $2.98 million ($1.75/share) from a previously announced registered direct financing, which are in addition to the cash and cash equivalent balances at September 30, 2023.
  • The Company has no outstanding corporate debt or preferred equity obligations.

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.
