Management Commentary

“These past several quarters have showcased our hybrid license and SaaS model at work,” Mr. Ghauri stated. “We recognized substantial license fees in the first half of fiscal 2024, and these contracts are now generating services revenues for our business with services revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increasing approximately 60% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. We have a strong sales pipeline of licensing and SaaS opportunities in our established markets and are working diligently to expand our pipeline in the United States. As we continue to win new contracts, we expect to realize both license fees and services revenues on a more consistent basis which, based on our recent performance, we believe will drive enhanced profitability for our business.

“We continue to make progress advancing our initiatives in the U.S. market,” Mr. Ghauri continued. “We’re expanding our pipeline of opportunities in this region and remain committed to hiring the best talent available. We’re intently focused on the continuous innovation and improvement of our offerings to meet the diverse demands of our customers, and we’re integrating leading technology including deep learning AI algorithms.

“To that end, we have launched a company wide AI initiative to reduce internal costs and enhance external quality improvements. We have nearly three decades of internal program management data, which we intend to use to train our AI use cases. We are also in the process of creating industry leading AI use cases for our clients to help improve their business metrics with an anticipated launch of several new AI-based offerings in the calendar year.

“We’re very pleased with our performance in both the third quarter and the fiscal year to date and are beginning to realize the strength of our business model as we drive revenue growth and consistent profitability. Looking ahead, we’re encouraged by our pipeline of license and SaaS deals in our established markets, and we’re committed to allocating capital to our many growth opportunities, specifically the United States. Given our results, we remain confident in our expectation of double-digit organic revenue growth and improved margins and are on pace to reach our target revenue range of between $60 million and $61 million for the full year of 2024,” Mr. Ghauri concluded.
