“By booking a record $13.5 million of orders, we ended the period with $37.2 million in total backlog – a new level for the Company – strengthening our outlook for the balance of fiscal 2025 and beyond and putting us on track for our best year ever” stated Peter Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Xtract One. “We are very pleased to be experiencing revenue growth despite second quarter results being tempered by deployment timing and a larger than typical percentage of subscription contracts. We are also pleased that we continue to win new contracts in multiple industry verticals and geographies – another strategic step in accelerating market penetration and acceptance, and diversifying the business. At the same time, we are seeing significant interest in our Xtract One Gateway solution. The outlook for the second half of fiscal 2025 remains bright, and we are well positioned on the path to profitability.”
