Financial Highlights

Total Q2 FY24 revenue of $9.0M was up 8% compared to Q2 FY23 revenue of $8.3M. Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2024 (“6M FY24’) of $18.0M was up approximately 5% compared to revenue of $17.2M for the six months ended March 31, 2023 (“6M FY23”). This positive performance can be attributed to increased activity among customers in Illinois, Canada, and Brazil, partially offset by decreases in revenue from customers in Michigan and Chile.
Gross Profit of $4.0M rose by 6% ($0.2M) in Q2 FY24 compared to Q2 FY23. Gross profit for 6M FY24 was $8.2M compared to gross profit of $7.9M for 6M FY23. This improvement stems from factors like increased revenue, reduced communication costs and lower lost, stolen or damaged costs. However, it was partly offset by higher device repair expenses, higher monitoring center costs and increased hardware purchases.
Operating loss in Q2 FY24 of ($1.0M) was up approximately 12% compared to ($0.9M) in Q2 FY23. Operating loss for 6M FY24 of ($1.1M) was up approximately 15% compared to ($1.0M) for 6M FY23. This rise in operating loss is primarily due to higher operating expenses. Operating expenses were up $0.3M in Q2 FY24 compared to Q2 FY23, primarily due to the estimated accrued liability related to an ongoing contract dispute of approximately $0.5M.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 FY24 was $0.8M compared to $0.5M for Q2 FY23. Adjusted EBITDA for 6M FY24 was $1.9M compared to Adjusted EBITDA for 6M FY23 of $1.7M primarily due to negative currency exchange rate movements of $0.6M in Q2 FY24 compared to Q2 FY23. Adjusted EBITDA in 6M FY24 as a percentage of revenue remained at 10%, compared to 6M FY23.
Cash balance of $3.6M for Q2 FY24 declined 10% compared to $4.1M at September 30, 2023. The modest decrease in cashposition was due to a negative effect of exchange rate changes on cash of $0.3M and a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $0.1M.
Net loss attributable to shareholders in Q2 FY24 was ($1.9M) compared to ($1.5M) in Q2 FY23, an increase of $0.4M. Net lossattributable to shareholders in 6M FY24 was ($1.9M), compared to ($1.4M) for 6M FY23, a change principally attributable to negative currency exchange rate movements and an estimated accrued liability related to an ongoing contract dispute of approximately $0.5M.

Additionally, when compared to the preceding quarter ending September 30, 2023 (“Q4 FY23”), revenues rose by $0.4M, reflecting a 4% increase. This positive performance can be attributed to increased activity among customers in Illinois, Canada, and Brazil, partially offset by decreases in revenue from customers in Puerto Rico, Chile, and Saudi Arabia.

Operating loss in Q1 FY24 of ($0.2M) was up approximately 30% compared to ($0.1M) in Q1 FY23. This rise in Q1 FY24 operating loss is primarily due to higher operating expenses. Nevertheless, when compared to the previous quarter ending on September 30, 2023 (Q4 FY23), the overall operating loss decreased by $0.1M, indicating a 33% improvement.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 FY24 of $1.1M declined approximately $0.1M compared to $1.2M for Q1 FY23, primarily due to the increase in certain operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 FY24 as a percentage of revenue declined to 12%, compared to 13% for Q1 FY23 for the same reasons. However, when compared to the previous quarter ending on September 30, 2023 (Q4 FY23) Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4%.
Cash balance of $3.7M for Q1 FY24 declined 8% compared to $4.1M at September 30, 2023. The modest decrease in cash position was due to a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1.7M offset by a decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $1.3M.
Net income attributable to shareholders in Q1 FY24 was $461 compared to $36,384 in Q1 FY23, a slight decrease principally attributable to a decline in operating income and higher net interest expense, offset by currency exchange gains and a reduction in tax expense.

Operating loss in FY23 of ($1.5M) improved compared to the operating loss of ($2.1M) in FY22. The improvement in net loss in FY23 is primarily due to the impairment charge of $1.7M associated with the discontinuance of two product lines in FY22 and the decrease in depreciation and amortization that resulted from the impairment.
Adjusted EBITDA for FY23 of $3.8M, compared to $6.6M for FY22 due to the drop in revenue, gross profit and the increase in certain operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA in FY23 as a percentage of revenue declined to 11.1%, compared to 18.0% for FY22 for the same reasons.
Cash balance of $4.1M for FY23, compared to $5.3M for FY22. The change in cash position was principally due to the reinvestment in monitoring technology, offset by a decrease in net operating assets, mainly accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets.

Gross profit for the 9M FY22 was $13.3 million compared to gross profit of $16.3 million for 9M FY21, principally due to the decline in revenue, and an increase in certain expenses including higher depreciation and amortization, server, device repair and telecommunication expenses.

Total operating expense for Q3 FY22 of $4.5 million was up 4% versus Q3 FY21’s total operating expense of $4.3 million, principally due to an increase in travel, tradeshow, payroll and insurance expenses offset by a reduction in bad debt expense.

Track Group, Inc. Partners with Socrates Software LLC

NAPERVILLE, IL – Track Group, Inc. (OTCQX: TRCK), a global leader in offender tracking and monitoring services, announced today it has entered an exclusive partnership with Socrates Software LLC to deploy Socrates 360, a multipurpose app designed to better prepare justice-involved individuals for success in the community after incarceration.

The United States has the largest prison population in the world, with over 2 million Americans incarcerated. Roughly 600,000 of them return to communities each year with limited access to tools that support their reintegration. Track Group and Socrates aim to change that by providing education, life skills, and vocational training to prisoners, parolees, and probationers, both during and after their sentences.

“With Socrates 360, we are combining technology and skills training to help participants succeed after being released from custody,” said Derek Cassell, Track Group’s CEO. “I believe by providing tailored education, employment, and life skills courses, we can better assist government agencies tasked with helping people get back on their feet.”
