Operating Highlights
Commenting on the Company’s recent results, Logiq CEO Brent Suen, said, “Our November 8th announcement of our largest new customer sales contract ever – at $2 million to $3 million monthly -- indicates our excellent operational progress. Far from being an outlier, we expect to have one or more similar such large sales to announce in the current quarter.
“This contract stemmed from our acquisition of Battle Bridge earlier this year, and we continue to see strategically executed M&A as a key driver of growth accelerating into 2023,” Mr. Suen added. “We expect to exit 2022 north of a $40M run-rate while our outlook for 2023 is stronger than ever.”
The Company’s new business pipeline include customers within an industry in which product marketing and advertising is highly regulated and requires an advanced AdTech compliance expertise. The recent contract demonstrates Logiq’s success executing on its previously announced directional change towards higher margin and regulated vertical markets such as cannabis, eSports, gambling, and crypto.
Looking ahead, Logiq expects to close on its previously announced SPAC transaction with Abri SPAC I, Inc. (Abri), in the first quarter of 2023 (Abri Nov. 3rd filed its requisite report on Form S-4 with the SEC). Accordingly, the Company anticipates being a newly Nasdaq-listed company with a presumed cash infusion that will accelerate its M&A activity. Logiq is currently in advanced discussions for more than one business combination to broaden its services offering, expand its client base, add accretive cash flow and executive talent.
To improve operating margins, and consistent with its disciplined approach to streamline financial and operational management, Logiq is shrinking its lowest-margin, smallest-account client base through attrition as it focuses its resources on serving and building its increasingly larger and higher margin client base.
Additionally, in September the Company announced it had expanded into the home improvement vertical market via both the residential and commercial EV charger installation market as well as the roofing market – deploying its on-demand digital marketing platform system which provides Logiq clients efficient, enhanced service. Logiq remains opportunistic to capture market share of attractive verticals.
Reiterating 2022 Guidance
The Company reiterates its annualized revenue run-rate projection for 2022 in the range of $40 million to $50 million that assumes closing at least one large, new client contract by year end but excludes any M&A for the remainder of the year. The Company believes that 2023 revenues, including strategic, accretive M&A, could approach $100 million.
The Company will host an investor teleconference today, Tuesday, November 15 at 10:30 Eastern to discuss its third quarter report; details are provided below.
