NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 10, 2023 (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, 2023 (“Q3 FY23”). In Q3 FY23, the Company posted (i) total revenue of $8.7 Million (“M”), a decrease of approximately 3% over total revenue of $9.0M for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (“Q3 FY22”); (ii) Q3 FY23 operating loss of ($0.3M) compared to Q3 FY22 operating loss of ($0.5M); and (iii) net loss attributable to common shareholders of ($0.7M) in Q3 FY23 compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of ($3.6M) in Q3 FY22.
“While a relatively steady period of performance, the quarter ending June 30, 2023 saw improvements in revenue, adjusted EBITDA, operating loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders compared to Q2 of FY23. Among the 10 contracts awarded to Track Group this fiscal year, in Q3 we began mobilization planning for a newly awarded statewide pretrial contract estimated at $1.6M in annual revenue with a $15M budget over a 5-year term. Track Group continues to be seen as a leader in high-risk offender and defendant monitoring and supporting services. As this new program and others like it begin to roll out, we anticipate that the Company will continue to grow both revenue and operating income for the remainder of FY23.” said Derek Cassell, Track Group’s CEO.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Total Q3 FY23 revenue of $8.7M was down 3% compared to Q3 FY22 revenue of $9.0M. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 (“9M FY23”) of $25.9M was also down approximately 8% compared to revenue of $28.1M for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 (“9M FY22”). The drop in revenue was driven principally by fluctuations in court proceedings where active devices are assigned to customers in Illinois and California, partially offset by an increase in monitoring revenues for customers in Indiana and Louisiana.
- Gross profit of $3.7M in Q3 FY23 was down approximately 8% compared to Q3 FY22 gross profit of $4.0M. Gross profit for the 9M FY23 was $11.6M compared to gross profit of $13.3M for 9M FY22, due to a decline in revenue of approximately $2.2M, partially offset by a decrease in communication services and monitoring center costs.
- An operating loss in Q3 FY23 of ($0.3M) improved nominally compared to an operating loss of ($0.5M) in Q3 FY22. An operating loss for the 9M FY23 of ($1.3M) compared to operating income of $0.1M in 9M FY22. The decline of approximately $1.3M in operating income for 9M FY23 is attributable to the decline in gross profit offset by a decrease of approximately 3% in operating expenses.
- Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 FY23 was $1.1M, compared to $1.3M for Q3 FY22. Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY23 was $2.8M compared to the Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY22 of $5.3M, a decrease of $2.4M due to the drop in revenue, gross profit offset by a decrease in certain operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY23 as a percentage of revenue declined to 10.9%, compared to 18.8% for 9M FY22 for the same reasons.
- Cash balance was $3.8M on June 30, 2023, compared to $5.3M on September 30, 2022. The decrease in cash was due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $3M offset by purchases of monitoring equipment and the repayment of debts.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders in Q3 FY23 was ($0.7M) compared to net loss attributable to shareholders of ($3.6M) in Q3 FY22. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the 9M FY23 was ($2.1M), compared to net loss of ($3.5M) for the 9M FY22. This decrease in net loss is primarily due to positive currency exchange rate movements and a litigation settlement of $1.6M recorded in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by lower operating income and a vendor forgiving $0.6M of accrued expenses in 2022.
