TORONTO, March  12, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtract One Technologies Inc. (TSX: XTRA) (OTCQX: XTRAF) (FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) a leading technology-driven threat detection and security solution that prioritizes the patron access experience by leveraging AI, today announced fiscal second quarter results for the three months ended January 31, 2025. All information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Second Quarter Highlights

Quarterly revenue of $3.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 versus $2.9 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin of 70% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 versus 61% in the prior-year period. Total contract value of new bookings1 was $13.5 million for the three months ending January 31, 2025 – the strongest quarterly results in the Company’s history – as compared to $5.1 million for the same period last year. Contractual backlog was $16.7 million at the end of the second quarter as compared to $12.3 million in the prior-year period, excluding an additional $20.5 million of agreements pending installation1 versus approximately $10.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

“By booking a record $13.5 million of orders, we ended the period with $37.2 million in total backlog – a new level for the Company – strengthening our outlook for the balance of fiscal 2025 and beyond and putting us on track for our best year ever” stated Peter Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Xtract One. “We are very pleased to be experiencing revenue growth despite second quarter results being tempered by deployment timing and a larger than typical percentage of subscription contracts. We are also pleased that we continue to win new contracts in multiple industry verticals and geographies – another strategic step in accelerating market penetration and acceptance, and diversifying the business. At the same time, we are seeing significant interest in our Xtract One Gateway solution. The outlook for the second half of fiscal 2025 remains bright, and we are well positioned on the path to profitability.”

Financial Results for the Three Month Period Ended January 31, 2025

Consolidated revenue was $3.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 as compared to $2.9 million for the same period last year, reflecting new business wins and a greater number of installations. Gross profit was $2.4 million, or a gross profit margin of 70%, in the fiscal 2025 second quarter versus $1.8 million, or a gross profit margin of 61%, in the prior-year period.

Comprehensive loss was $2.1 million for the three month period ended January 31, 2025 as compared to $3.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. This reflects higher revenue and gross profit as well as lower research and development expenses.
