Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, was $64.5 million, an increase of $10.4 million or 19.3% compared to the prior year period. The overall increase was primarily due to an increase in devices sold of $7.7 million, or 17.7%. The increase in devices revenue was driven by higher sales volume in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Services revenue represented an increase of $1.8 million, up 19.5% compared to the prior fiscal year. Other revenues represented an increase of $0.9 million, up 70.6% compared to the prior period.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on our net sales for the year ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of approximately $1.7 million. This was mainly driven by fluctuations in Euro valuations throughout the period.
Gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, was $29.8 million, a decrease of 2.7% compared to the prior period. The decrease was driven by inflationary cost increases on direct costs of goods of approximately $2.2 million. The additional increase in cost of sales is mainly driven by an increase of $0.6 million in an inventory reserve for slow-moving parts and increased overhead and services parts costs of $3.9 million. The impact due to foreign currency translation losses resulted in an increase of approximately $0.1 million.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, was $25.8 million, an increase of 12.3% compared to the prior period. The increase was primarily due to increase in professional service costs of $1.5 million related to audit, legal and other professional services in preparation for the business combination and becoming a publicly listed company, and investment in finance capacity in preparation for public company reporting obligations. The increase was also attributable to personnel related expenses primarily due to a $1 million increase in pension expense resulting from changes in market yields. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in credit loss provisions.
Research and development costs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, were $6.6 million, a decrease of 4% compared to the prior period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the research and development material purchase and external consulting of $0.2 million and charges pertaining to the Gorbel acquisition of $0.4 million, as we focus more on software developments. The decrease was offset by an increase in personnel expenses of $0.3 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 totaled $3.2 million.
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $19.4 million, a decrease of 10.2% compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to alignment with customer schedules for order fulfillment, which resulted in a $2.9 million decrease in device revenue. The Company expects to recognize the revenues related to these products in fiscal year 2025.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a minor favorable impact on our net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of approximately $0.1 million. This was driven by stabilization of Euro valuations.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $9.8 million, a 33.8% decrease compared to the prior period. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition related to customer-driven installation delays, inflationary cost increases on direct costs of goods, and increased overhead and services parts costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $8.1 million, an increase of 19.2% compared to the prior period. The increase was primarily due to increased overhead expense of $1.5 million primarily related to additional IT consultancy expenses and software license costs, as well as an increase in insurance expenses pertaining to the close of the business combination. The increase was offset by a decrease of professional service cost during the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to audit, legal and professional service.
Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were $1.9 million, a decrease of 2.5% compared to the prior period. The prior period had included charges pertaining to the Gorbel acquisition of $0.1 million with no similar expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Subsequent Events
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued $3.3 million in principal amount of 8% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”). The Debentures were issued with an original issue discount of $300 thousand, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $3 million and net proceeds of approximately $2.5 million after deducting estimated offering expenses.
The Debentures are convertible into an aggregate of 660,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Debentures mature on December 7, 2025, and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable monthly beginning one year from the issuance date.
Provided that no event of default has occurred or is continuing, and at least 33% of the principal amount of the Debentures has either previously been repaid or converted in accordance with the terms of the Debenture, the Company may elect, by notice to the holder of the Debentures, to extend the Maturity Date by six months upon the payment of six months’ interest on the then-outstanding principal amount.
The Debentures are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain specified assets. Additionally, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries have provided an unconditional guarantee of the Debentures. In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 330,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, with a five-year term.
Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook
The Company expects gross revenue for fiscal year 2025 to range between $74 million and $77 million, representing approximately 15%-20% growth over fiscal year 2024.
