FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue was US$11.6 million for fiscal year 2024, representing a surge of 78% YoY from US$6.5 million for fiscal year 2023. The growth in revenue is primarily attributed to strong performance across all core verticals – both services provided and tangible products, driven by the expansion in markets.

• Sagtec’s revenue from services surged by 122% to US$6.8 million for the fiscal year 2024, compared to US$3.1 million in fiscal year 2023. This increase was primarily driven by strong client retention through subscription renewals and the successful acquisition of new subscribers during the year.
• The company’s revenue generated from tangible products grew by 50%, reaching US$4.8 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to US$3.2 million in fiscal year 2023. This growth was largely fueled by the increased distribution of food ordering kiosks with screens, in response to shifting market behaviors and significant labor shortages in the F&B industry. Additionally, rising revenue from power bank charging stations highlights the success of Sagtec’s expansion strategy via dealers and resellers.
• Sagtec’s revenue generated from rentals declined significantly to zero in fiscal year 2024. This strategic shift reflects the company’s decision to move away from the rental service model – which involves a long return on investment – in favor of direct machine sales, with ongoing maintenance supported by third-party operators.
