Management Commentary
“TrackX accomplished several milestones during the quarter,” said TrackX Chairman and CEO Tim Harvie. “Our high margin, recurring revenue continues to increase; our gross margin increased more than 25% year-over-year, and we had our second successive positive adjusted EBITDA quarter. Post quarter end, the secured loan facilities strengthen our balance sheet, enabling us to accelerate the execution of our business plan, hire ahead of the implementations we anticipate from new customer contracts and to close on additional pipeline opportunities with enterprise accounts.”
