The Glimpse Group Reports Q2 Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results
The Glimpse Group, Inc. (VRAR) reported Q2 FY'24 financial results with a focus on securing multi-million dollar contracts, revenue decline, cost reduction, and strategic shift to Spatial Computing. Quarterly revenue decreased by 29% to $2.1 million, with a gross margin of 68%. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.3 million, reflecting operational expense reductions. The company aims for a cash breakeven point of $3 million per quarter. Operating expenses increased by 165% to $2.23 million due to strategic shifts. Net loss was $0.74 million for the quarter. The company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.22 million as of December 31, 2023.
Positive
The Glimpse Group, Inc. made progress in securing multi-million dollar contracts with large entities in the Spatial Computing, Cloud, and AI sectors.
Q2 FY'24 revenue declined by 29% to $2.1 million compared to the previous year, aligning with the company's strategic transition.
Gross Margin for Q2 FY'24 was 68%, with a target range of 65-70% post-transition.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.3 million, down from $2.6 million in the previous year, showcasing cost-saving measures.
Operating expenses increased by 165% to $2.23 million, reflecting investments in Spatial Computing solutions.
Net loss for Q2 FY'24 was $0.74 million, with the company holding $5.22 million in cash and equivalents as of December 31, 2023.
Negative
Revenue decline of 29% may raise concerns about the company's growth trajectory.
Operating expenses spiked by 165%, indicating potential challenges in managing costs effectively.
Net loss of $0.74 million for the quarter could impact investor confidence despite cost reduction efforts.
The Glimpse Group's reported decrease in quarterly revenue by 29% is a significant figure, signaling a downward trend in the company's immediate financial performance. This contraction could be indicative of a challenging market environment or a strategic pivot that has yet to bear fruit. Investors typically look for growth in revenue as a sign of a company's health and potential for future profitability, making this a critical metric.
The strategic shift towards enterprise-scale Spatial Computing/Cloud/AI solutions is a notable transition, suggesting a focus on more sustainable, long-term revenue streams. However, the short-term impact appears to be a decrease in revenue, which may concern stakeholders looking for immediate returns. The reduction in cash expenses by approximately 50% and a significant decrease in EBITDA loss year-over-year are positive indicators of management's commitment to controlling costs and improving operational efficiency.
The company's operational cash breakeven point is now set at approximately $3 million in quarterly revenue, a target that appears attainable based on past performance. However, the reliance on securing large contracts to achieve this target introduces an element of uncertainty that could affect investor sentiment.
Immersive technologies such as VR, AR and Spatial Computing are rapidly evolving fields with significant potential for enterprise applications. Glimpse's strategic focus on these areas positions the company within a high-growth industry. Despite the current decline in revenue, the pursuit of multi-million dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and commercial entities could represent substantial future growth opportunities.
Nonetheless, the market will likely be looking for evidence of these contracts materializing and contributing to financial results. The reported gross margin remaining within the 65-70% range is a strong indicator of pricing power and cost management, which is crucial when considering the company's ability to scale operations profitably.
The Glimpse Group's focus on Spatial Computing/Cloud/AI is a strategic move aligning with industry trends towards digital transformation and the adoption of advanced technologies in business processes. The shift from marketing-driven projects to immersive software solutions is a long-term investment that may redefine the company's market positioning.
However, the current financials reflect the challenges inherent in such a pivot, including the initial decrease in revenue and reliance on project-based income. The use of outside contractors, which has led to a decrease in gross profit margins, suggests a transitional phase where internal capabilities are still being developed. The lack of outstanding corporate debt is an advantage, providing financial flexibility in a rapidly changing tech landscape.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2024 / 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 second quarter fiscal year 2024 ("Q2 FY'24").
Business Summary by President & CEO Lyron Bentovim
Q2 FY '24 (October 1, 2023 - December 31, 2023) was highlighted by:
Made significant strides toward securing several multi-million dollar annual Spatial Computing/Cloud/AI contracts with large Department of Defense and Commercial entities. While there is no guarantee that these contracts will come to fruition, we are optimistic that they may be signed in the short term. Q2 FY '24 quarterly revenue of approximately $2.1 million , a 29% decrease compared to revenue of approximately $2.95 million in Q2 FY '23. This decline is in line with our previously announced expectations, as we continue to: a) strategically transition our business from predominantly Immersive marketing driven projects to enterprise-scale Spatial Computing/Cloud/AI driven Immersive recurring software solutions, and b) divest non-core operating assets. While investing in the development of our Spatial Computing solutions, we have continued to reduce non-core cash expenses. In the aggregate, we have reduced cash expenses by approximately 50% from their high. Our operational cash breakeven point in now approximately $3 million revenue per quarter or $12 million annually (excluding potential growth investments). For relative reference, our Q1 FY '24 revenue was $3.1 million and our FY '23 (June 30) annual revenue was approximately $13.5 million , revenue figures that we believe are attainable once some of the large contracts we have in the pipeline materialize. Gross Margin for Q2 FY ‘24 was approximately 68% compared to 70% for Q2 FY ‘23. As we complete our strategic transition, we expect our Gross Margins to continue to remain in the 65-70% range and potentially increase afterward. Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q2 FY'24 was approximately $1.3 million , compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $2.6 million for Q2 FY '23, reflecting the reductions in operational expenses. Q2 FY '24 Financial Summary (for full detail of our financial results please refer to our 8K and 10Q filed on 2/14/24)
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $2.08 million compared to approximately $2.95 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 29% . Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $5.18 million compared to approximately $6.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 25% . The decrease reflects our strategic shift to Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven immersive software solutions. Gross profit was approximately 68% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately 70% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Gross profit was approximately 64% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately 70% for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by the lower margin on project revenue in the current fiscal year due to increased use of outside contractors. Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $2.23 million compared to $0.84 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of approximately 165% (Q2 FY '22 Operating expenses were lower due to the non-cash gain on a change in fair value of acquisition contingent consideration). Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $4.33 million compared to $9.01 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, an decrease of approximately 52% . These reflect a decrease in all expense categories, reduced investment in non-core areas and divesting non-core assets as a result of our strategic shift to Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven immersive software solutions. Net loss of $0.74 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to net income of $1.31 million for the comparable 2022 period (Q2 FY '22 Net income was driven by the non-cash gain on a change in fair value of acquisition contingent consideration). Net loss of $0.86 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to a net loss of $4.07 million for the comparable 2022 period. These reflect a reduction in Operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.33 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a $2.60 million loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.60 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a $3.64 million loss for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The reduced EBITDA loss for both periods was driven by cash operating expense reductions. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.22 million . The Company has no outstanding corporate debt or preferred equity obligations. Q2 Fiscal Year 2024 Conference Call and Webcast https://www.webcaster4.com/Webcast/Page/2934/49880

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.
