Track Group Reports 3rd Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Track Group, Inc. (OTCQB: TRCK), a global leader in offender tracking and monitoring services, today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 (“Q3 FY24”). In Q3 FY24, the Company posted (i) total revenue of $9.2 Million (“M”), an increase of approximately 6% over total revenue of $8.7M for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (“Q3 FY23”); (ii) Q3 FY24 gross profit of $4.3M representing an increase of approximately 17% over Q3 FY23 of $3.7M; (iii) Q3 FY24 operating loss of ($0.5M) compared to Q3 FY23 operating loss of ($0.3M); (iv) Q3 FY24 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6M, representing a 44% increase, and; (v) net loss attributable to common shareholders of ($0.9M) in Q3 FY24 compared to ($0.7M) in Q3 FY23.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total Q3 FY24 revenue of $9.2M was up 6% compared to Q3 FY23 revenue of $8.7M. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 (“9M FY24”) of $27.1M was up approximately 5% compared to revenue of $25.9M for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 (“9M FY23”). This positive performance can be attributed to increased activity among customers in Illinois, Puerto Rico, and Brazil, partially offset by decreases in revenue from customers in Indiana, Virginia and Chile.
  • Gross Profit of $4.3M rose by 17% ($0.6M) in Q3 FY24 compared to Q3 FY23. Gross profit for 9M FY24 was $12.4M compared to gross profit of $11.6M for 9M 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 server costs.
  • Operating loss in Q3 FY24 of ($0.5M) rose compared to ($0.3M) in Q3 FY23. Operating loss for 9M FY24 of ($1.7M) was up approximately 30% compared to ($1.3M) for 9M FY23. This rise in operating loss is primarily due to higher operating expenses. Operating expenses were up $1.2M in 9M FY24 compared to 9M FY23, primarily due to a non-recurring settlement related to a contract dispute of approximately $1.0M.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 FY24 was $1.6M, up 44% compared to $1.1M for Q3 FY23. Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY24 was $3.4M, up 21% compared to Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY23 of $2.8M primarily due to negative currency exchange rate movements of $0.6M in Q3 FY24 compared to Q3 FY23. Adjusted EBITDA in 9M FY24 as a percentage of revenue increased to 13%, compared to 11% in 9M FY23.
  • Cash balance of $1.9M for Q3 FY24 declined 53% compared to $4.1M at September 30, 2023. The decrease in cash position was due to a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1.4M.
  • Net loss attributable to shareholders in Q3 FY24 was ($0.9M) compared to ($0.7M) in Q3 FY23, an increase of $0.2M. Net loss attributable to shareholders in 9M FY24 was ($2.8M), compared to ($2.1M) for 9M FY23, a change principally attributable to negative currency exchange rate movements and a non-recurring settlement related to a contract dispute of approximately $1.0M.

“In the quarter ending June 30, 2024, we demonstrated continued growth in revenue and gross profit, surpassing Q3 FY23. Notably, revenues grew by 6% ($9.2M vs. $8.7M in Q3 FY23), while gross profit experienced a 17% increase ($4.3M vs $3.7M in Q3 FY23). Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.6M in Q3 FY24 compared to $1.1M in Q3 FY23. We are optimistic about maintaining and building upon these positive trends throughout the year, expecting continued improvements compared to the same quarter last year. This momentum reflects our dedication to growth and sets a promising tone for the ongoing fiscal year.” said Derek Cassell, Track Group’s CEO. 

Business Outlook

Despite previous challenges from supply chain delays, the impact of the Coronavirus, and the phase-out of our 3G-based cellular devices in the U.S., Track Group stands resilient. The demonstrated financial growth continued in Q3 FY24 which reinforces our confidence in the strategic reinvestment in technology and the implementation of new programs initiated in late FY23. These endeavors position us well for a sustained return to growth throughout FY24. Our outlook for FY24 is as follows: 

    Actual     Outlook
    FY 2022     FY 2023     FY 2024
Revenue (in millions):   $ 37.0     $ 34.5     $ 37-38  
                       
Adjusted EBITDA Margin:     18.0 %     11.1 %     11-15 %
