| Statement |

| Prospects were able to hear strong endorsements from Riviera vending and Feel Good Market who described the utilization of Cantaloupe's vending and micro market solutions |
| It's the best way I can describe it and I'm very excited about where we are with Europe and Latin America |
| Our backlog of shipped devices and micro markets remains robust |
| While we are excited about the growth prospects in adjacent verticals, Berg Insight forecasts that the number of connected vending machines worldwide will grow at a CAGR of 16.4% to reach 12.3 million units by 2027, a forecast that augurs well for the growth of our core vending and micro market business |
| So while it's taken longer than perhaps I would have liked, maybe answering this question 2 years ago, right now, we are shooting from a position of strength and I'm seeing great reception to our products and solutions in both Europe and Latin America |
| Equipment revenue margin for Q2 FY '24 improved to a positive 1.8% from a negative 2.3% in prior year |
| As Ravi mentioned, we delivered another strong quarter |
| This increase in gross margin was driven by higher margins across all lines of revenue |
| Seed technology continues to be a proven solution to help customers drive revenue and deliver cost reductions |
| We are proud of our product innovation that enables our customers to increase revenue through new modes of payment, additional consumer engagement features, as well as new business tools for running a more efficient operation |
| I'm delighted to report that we've reached that goal a year ahead of schedule as there is no additional SG&A expense associated with the incremental dollars we received through transaction processing revenue, this gross margin expansion has a positive impact to our EBITDA and free cash flow, helping drive profitability |
| All in, we are pleased with our performance for the first half of the year |
| This increase was driven by an improved processing take rate, reduced processing costs and subscription revenue representing a larger share of our overall revenue |
| In addition to a robust backlog, our international pipeline continues to build and we are as excited as ever about the successes we are having in Europe and Latin America |
| There is tremendous synergy between our combined product line which will enable growth across our combined customer base |
| As mentioned earlier, we've made significant progress in expanding gross margins through the optimization of COGS, especially in transaction processing |
| We remain excited about the long-term opportunity for Cantaloupe, driven by secular tailwinds, including decreased use of cash, increased use of credit cards and the increased use of touchless payment options which continue to drive industry growth |
| In summary, I'm very excited about getting ahead of schedule and plan on our transaction revenue journey and arriving upon margin profiles that we expected or anticipated to reach in fiscal year '25 and we are there almost a year ahead of schedule and we'll continue to consolidate and build on those strengths |
| This strategic move is projected to boost our revenues by at least 25% |
| In addition, we kicked off the second half of the year with some exciting news |
| Total gross margin for the quarter was 37.2% compared to 30.1% in the same quarter last year, driven by higher margins across all 3 revenue lines |
| In summary, I could not be more proud of our team's abilities to execute on strategic priorities, especially the expansion of gross margins and discipline with operational expenses, that have led to strong growth in adjusted EBITDA |
| These tools are designed to transform the way vending operators leverage data for revenue growth, improving real-time decision-making and enhancing productivity |
| The overall increase in revenue was again driven by increased processing volumes, higher average transaction ticket sizes and subscription revenue growth for micro markets |
| Transaction margin or transaction revenue, the largest of our 3 revenue streams, realized gross margins about 20% this quarter, up from the high single-digit percentages just a couple of years ago |
| Choosing Cantaloupe was a clear decision for us as their innovative solutions perfectly cater to business growth objectives across the gaming and restaurant spaces." On the international front, our event in Mexico City in December was a success |
| I want to highlight the progress we've made in recent quarters on another key driver of operating leverage which is expansion of our gross margins |
| Our combined transaction/subscription revenue grew 15% to $56 million during the quarter |
| During the second quarter of fiscal year '24, our total revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $65.4 million, driven by 17% year-over-year transaction revenue growth and 10% year-over-year subscription revenue growth |
| Paramount Vending was another great example of a competitive cross-sell win in the micro market space |
| Statement |
|---|
| As Ravi mentioned earlier, we anticipate being on the lower end of this range due to a slower-than-anticipated ramp in international revenue and delayed activations domestically |
| We now expect subscription and transaction revenue to be at the lower end of the 17% to 21% range for the fiscal year due to a slower-than-anticipated ramp in international revenue and delayed activations domestically |
| Our equipment revenue was $9.3 million, a decrease of 25% compared to Q2 FY '23 |
| The challenge that we faced and continue to face is delayed activation time lines |
| This is down from the immediate prior quarter of 12% |
| During the -- because of the holidays at the end of the year, there's always a little bit of a decrease in the volume |
| We have a significant backlog of sold and shipped devices in micro markets, the challenge is more of an installation and activation time line issue and we are continuing to invest in various ways to tackle that challenge |
| So that decrease is very temporary |
| Net income applicable to common shares for the second quarter was $3.1 million or $0.04 per share compared to a net loss of $0.6 million or $0.01 per share in the prior period |
| The sequential decrease was driven by several opportunistic deals we were able to replace competitor devices |
| Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including but not limited to, business, financial markets and economic conditions |
