With record results across the board, we continue to make progress towards profitability through operational execution and higher top line growth,” stated Peter Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Xtract One. “Revenue for the year was $16.4 million – quadruple that of last year – while our combined backlog rose to $26.8 million, reflecting strong demand across all vertical markets. We’re positioning the Company for continued expansion going forward as we are seeing growing interest from all types of customers – stadiums and arenas to schools, business centers, and factories – putting us on track for even greater performance in fiscal 2025.”
“To add further momentum to this success, the recent introduction of Xtract One Gateway will significantly expand our addressable market, and win rate in those markets, by improving the Company’s competitive positioning.
