Fiscal Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were $15.5 million, compared with $13.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in total net revenues was primarily driven by an increase in subscription and support revenues of $3.7 million, slightly offset by a decrease in license fees of $631,000 and total services revenues of $667,000.
- Total license fees were $1.96 million, compared with $2.59 million in the prior year period.
- Total subscription (SaaS and Cloud) and support revenues were $9.4 million, compared with $5.7 million in the prior year period.
- Total services revenues were $4.1 million, compared with $4.8 million in the prior year period.
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 26.5% to $7.6 million (or 49.4% of net revenues), compared to $6.0 million (or 46% of net revenues) in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an increase in revenue of $2.4 million, offset by a $751,000 increase in cost of revenues. The increases in cost of sales were primarily due to increases in salaries and consulting costs of $367,000, travel costs of $124,000, depreciation of $15,000, and other costs of $245,000.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were $5.99 million (or 38.7% of sales), compared to $5.96 million (or 45.4% of sales) for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in selling expenses and research and development costs, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
GAAP net income attributable to NETSOL for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $1.4 million or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net loss of $242,000 or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. GAAP net income attributable to NETSOL included a $901,000 gain on foreign currency exchange transactions in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which was an increase from a gain of $14,000 in the prior year period.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $2.1 million or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $617,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 (see note regarding “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).
At December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $25.6 million, a decrease from $33.7 million at June 30, 2021.
Management Commentary
“Our strong momentum continued in the second quarter, and we remain well on track to achieve our growth targets for fiscal 2022,” said NETSOL Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Najeeb Ghauri. “Within our core business, the pipeline and mix of opportunities remains robust, particularly in our European and North American growth markets, giving us confidence in our ability to drive additional contract signings over the coming months. Our Otoz Digital Retail Platform, one of our more venture-focused operations, continued to expand through its MINI Anywhere partnership and is now employed by more than 65% of all MINI dealerships in California, with live operations beginning in a second state, Texas, in December; we remain encouraged by the initial response and total opportunity. We are committed to our vision of pushing the boundaries for new ownership and payment models, supporting our customers where they are today and where they want to go in the future, and creating new shareholder value in the process.”
Company CFO Roger Almond added: “Growth in recurring revenues from our subscription and support segment were a key driver of our strong financial performance during the quarter. Importantly, with a larger share of higher margin revenue contributions, our second quarter gross margin increased to nearly 50% of net revenues. We continued to welcome our workforce back across our global footprint during the second quarter, and we expect a return to sales growth with a related increase in expenses to support our increased business activity moving forward. Our cash position remains near record levels, providing the resources to support our core business growth as well as strategic investments in high-return, long-term opportunities, such as the promising work of the Otoz Innovation Lab. With these factors in consideration, we are reiterating our full year revenue outlook of 10% topline growth and 20% subscription revenue growth throughout the balance of the year.”
