NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2023 / The Glimpse Group, Inc. ('Glimpse') (NASDAQ:VRAR)(FSE:9DR), a diversified Immersive Technology platform company providing enterprise-focused Virtual Reality ('VR'), Augmented Reality ('AR') and Spatial Computing software and services, provided financial results for its fiscal year ended Jume 30, 2023 ('FY'23').

Business Commentary by President & CEO Lyron Bentovim

FY '23 (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023) was highlighted by:

• FY '23 revenue of approximately $13.5 million, a 85% increase compared to FY '22 revenue of approximately $7.3 million, primarily driven by the acquisitions of Brightline Interactive ('BLI') and Sector 5 Digital ('S5D'). Since the Company's IPO in July 2021, its annual revenues have increased by approximately 4X from an IPO base of approximately $3.4 million.
• Q4 FY '23 (April - June) quarterly revenue of approximately $2.9 million, a 16% increase compared to Q4 FY '22 revenue of approximately $2.5 million.
• Gross Margin for FY ‘23 was approximately 68% compared to 82% for FY ‘22. We expect our Gross Margins to continue to remain in the 60-70% range.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss for FY '23 was approximately $6.45 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $3.97 million for FY ‘22. During the fiscal year and in recent months thereafter, we decreased the Company's annual operating expense base by approximately $5 million in aggregate (or approximately 25%). We expect to continue to significantly reduce our operating expense base as we realign our operations. Our target is to reach cash flow profitability from our subsidiary companies' operations, potentially as soon as Q2 FY '23 (October - December '23), excluding any growth investments.
• The Company's cash and equivalent position as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $5.6 million. On September 28, 2023, we entered into an agreement* for the sale of approximately 1.89 million shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million in a straight common share transaction (with no warrants or other financial instruments) from two long-term oriented institutional investors. We are now well capitalized to pursue our growth strategy and navigate through macro economic challenges if they arise. Kingswood Investments, division of Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC, is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. The registered direct offering is expected to close on or about October 3, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
• We continue to maintain a clean capital structure with no debt, no convertible debt and no preferred equity.

Strategic Repositioning:

• While the Immersive industry has made significant strides in recent years, in order to be truly unleashed and reach its vast potential we believe that it has to first become untethered from the computing limitations inherent in current immersive technologies hardware (VR headsets, tablets, phones).
• To answer the call, we are embarking on a path that could position Glimpse as a key provider of enabling Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven Immersive software solutions, empowering the industry's growth and development by shifting the focus from software run on devices to cloud based immersive software.
• With the knowledge, IP and tier-1 customer and partner relationships we have accumulated over the past seven+ years as one of the largest independent software and services companies in the segment, we have an opportunity to be a key part of this transition. As we move forward, we are collaborating with some of the world's leading organizations to make these a reality, including: NVIDIA, Microsoft, AT&T and the U.S. military.
• To facilitate this strategic transition, we are in the process of realigning our subsidiary companies around three core entities: BLI, QReal and S5D. We believe that this will result in a streamlined company that will be well positioned to execute on our strategic vision of providing Immersive software solutions at scale, potentially leading to a significant increase in higher quality recurring software revenues over time.
• This is not a straightforward transition, and will require Glimpse to restructure internally, invest in developing these new technologies while continuing to cut legacy costs. The short term impact may include a decline in revenues as we transition from predominantly project driven revenues and the consolidation of some of our subsidiary companies. However, we view this as an essential move if we are to become a dominant software player in an industry that has large scale. With this in mind, we decided to raise capital now, in a clean structure.
• In parallel, we will explore various strategic alternatives for our subsidiary companies including: raising capital into them, spinning them out, selling them or consolidating them into our main three subsidiaries.
• While further development and investment will be required to bring our vision to fruition, we have already begun to see adoption in the market. Recent examples include:
  • BLI, alongside prime contractor BCI Solutions and sub contractor Purdue University, was awarded a low seven figure Direct-to-Phase II contract with the U.S. Air Force (AFWERX). The overall solution utilizes BLI's spatial computing platform, combined with AI and Machine Learning (ML) elements, to teach and operate robots using human tracking and immersive simulation environments in industrial settings.
  • BLI entered into a Cooperative Research And Development Agreement ('CRADA') with the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division 'NSWCDD' to adapt new technologies in end-to-end Immersive Hyperscale Environments and simulator systems.
  • BLI was recently selected to support a major immersive technology hardware provider to accelerate their computing interfaces into GPU-enabled cloud, with streaming and visualization capabilities.
  • PulpoAR (QReal) entered into a software license with Yves Rocher, a global skin care, cosmetics and perfume company, to provide AI powered skin analysis and real-time visual product recommendation.
  • QReal completed a paid engagement to create an immersive experience to complement the launch of Sabrina Carpenter's real world fragrance, 'Sweet Tooth' on Walmart.com via a virtual store and NFT experience in Decentraland.
  • SpearXR (S5D), entered into an initial agreement for two webAR experiences with one of the world's largest consumer packaged goods companies, which is expected to be deployed in commercial environments and accessed by consumers on mobile phones and tablets without a need to download an app, potentially leading to additional webAR experiences and widespread implementation.

Q2 FY '23 Financial Summary (for full detail of our financial results please refer to our 8K and 10K filed on 9/28/23)

• Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $13.48 million compared to approximately $7.27 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately 85%. The increase reflects the addition of subsidiary companies through acquisitions and new customers.
• Gross profit was approximately 68% for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately 83% for the year ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by the addition of BLI and S5D lower margin project revenue.
• Operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $38.0 million compared to $12.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately 207%. The increase is driven primarily by the non-cash impairment and amortization of intangible assets relating to acquisitions (primarily the goodwill and intangible assets of S5D of approximately $14.9 million which were written off entirety although S5D remains an active operating entity of the Company), the addition of new subsidiaries through acquisitions and headcount additions to support growth and development.
• For the year ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of approximately $28.6 million compared to a net loss of approximately $6.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately 379% year-over-year. The increase is driven by non-cash intangible asset impairment and amortization expenses relating to previous acquisitions (primarily the goodwill and intangible assets of S5D of approximately $14.9 million which were written off entirety, although S5D remains an active operating entity of the Company) and the addition of newly acquired subsidiaries' expenses outpacing the increase in revenue and gross profit.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss for year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $6.5 million compared to approximately $4.0 million for the comparable 2022 period. The increase in EBITDA loss was driven by an increase in operating expense outlays in all areas of the Company to propel future growth, including the acquisition of several new subsidiaries. This increase in operating expense outlays was partially offset by non-cash expenses.
• As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of $5.62 million. On September 28, 2023 the Company entered into an agreement with two institutional investors to raise $3.3 million (approx. 3.0 million net of all fees and expenses) via a registered direct offering at $1.75/share, utilizing the Company's S3 registration (approx. 1.89 million common shares issued). The transaction is expected to close during the first week of October 2023. Post closing, the Company will have approximately $7 million of cash on hand.
• The Company had no outstanding corporate debt or preferred equity obligations.

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company's internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
