Management Commentary
Commentary from Najeeb Ghauri, CEO and Chairman:
"While our first quarter financial results reflect some near-term pressures, we are encouraged by the overall growth in total net revenues, which increased 2.8% year-over-year to $15 million. We experienced continued growth in our subscription and support revenues, which increased 9.4% year-over-year. This trend demonstrates that our recurring revenue model is gaining traction and provides a solid foundation for long-term stability and profitability."
Commentary from Roger Almond, CFO:
"From a financial perspective, while the first quarter reflects a higher operating expense ratio and a temporary compression in gross margins, we remain committed to balancing strategic investment with cost discipline. Our cash position of $22.7 million provides ample liquidity to support ongoing growth initiatives and we continue to prioritize investments that enhance recurring revenue streams and scalable digital solutions. The progress in subscription and support revenues underscores the resilience of our business model and we are taking proactive steps to optimize operational efficiency as we navigate short-term headwinds, keeping our focus squarely on long-term profitability and shareholder value creation."
