| Additionally, we have improved productivity in our revenue channels through our various initiatives as our revenue growth in the current Q1 improved significantly over the last 3 quarters |
| And I think the point we were trying to make was the $10.2 million this time would have been more just on the organic growth alone than it was that quarter, so which we think is a very encouraging sign for the core business |
| But I think, yes, we see a better impact on the bottom line, a better share for us |
| We believe this targeted distribution plan will allow us to grow our active Loop Player numbers quarter-on-quarter and provide a more robust distribution platform for our advertising partners over time |
| I actually thought that the gross margin posted here in the first quarter was really strong given your mix of players that it's now more on the partner side versus the kind of QAU side |
| The increased awareness of the Loop TV brand and the expansion of distribution over the past year on our platforms and screens demonstrates that our sales and marketing efforts are giving us new client wins |
| After three quarters of just over $5 million in revenue, we once again exceeded the $10 million quarterly revenue mark |
| And they become portions of it fixed and so we get the benefit of margin rate expansion |
| So it's really nice to see |
| So when you start to then layer on what we believe to be the future of advertising, we think that's good |
| Again, congrats on the quarter, it's a really great sequential quarter |
| So I think improving 700 basis points quarter-over-quarter kind of reflects that as we can get the revenue to certain levels, we can certainly leverage that appropriately |
| And we'll be able to then, I think, monetize it much better as we're going along |
| Our approach is to leverage our business model to continue to gain new customers on a consistent basis while focusing on the venues and markets that we know provide the best return on our investment and potential for revenue growth |
| But I am optimistic about the revenue ramp for the second half of 2024 and beyond |
| Quarter-over-quarter growth increased 79% from $5.7 million in Q4 of FY '23 to $10.2 million in Q1 of FY '24 |
| As we continue to grow distribution, our leverage grows and the opportunity to do better deals certainly happens |
| Nice job on the progress |
| So it's a bit revenue contingent, but I think it proves that as we get to a certain level of revenue, we can leverage the cost of goods very well |
| And so we have been focusing more on those from a growth standpoint which overall will tend to improve our profitability |
| But we're certainly still very optimistic about it |
| And approximately 43,000 Partner Screens across our Partner Platforms, an increase of 153% or 26,000 over the 17,000 Partner Screens at the end of Q1 FY '23 and 1,000 Partner Screens over the 42,000 Partner Screens announced for Q4 FY '23 |
| I think you see all the signs that the advertising industry is rebounding, et cetera |
| But it's going to be a smarter net for us going forward |
| And on your gross margin, it looks like that improved |
| Overall, we continue to focus on increasing our revenues, gross margins and leveraging our expenses in line with revenues as we plan to continue to reduce the adjusted EBITDA loss as we progress through the year |
| And as we look to make sure that our bottom line is as tight as it can be, we have to make sure that we're getting the best return on investment |
| So even though we took a little hit there, we're very comfortable with where we're going to be in 2024 of the growth of the players |
| Adjusted EBITDA in the 2024 fiscal first quarter was a loss of $1.5 million compared to a loss of $1.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2023, a slight improvement |
| Jon Niermann But it is a better rev share back to Loop, Darren, which I think is the key thing |

| In addition, a number of our Loop Players experienced downtime in late September and early October '23 as a result of an operating program update and technical issues related to outdated Wi-Fi in those venues |
| We have now entered the notoriously worst advertising quarter of the year, between January and March, where we've learned to be more conservative in our expectations |
| So there's always the attrition of a unit and then there's revenue attrition |
| The decrease was primarily driven by revenue mix as the year ago period included a smaller portion of our partner platform business, which carries lower gross margin but higher operating margin |
| Net loss in the 2024 fiscal first quarter was a loss of $5.3 million or a loss of $0.09 per share compared to a net loss of $5.3 million or $0.09 loss per share for the same period in fiscal 2023 |
| So that could mean further cost efficiencies will need to be realized while still being careful not to materially dampen future upside and growth |
| One would assume based on the initial deal you did with your first partner; gross margins maybe would have been lower |
| Our QAU footprint for the first quarter of fiscal '24 was reduced as a result of natural attrition of Loop Players that were not immediately replaced as we transition to a more targeted distribution model, pivoting our focus to certain designated advertising markets and geographies as well as more desirable out-of-home locations and venues, including convenience stores, restaurants, bars and other retail establishment |
| You noted that the quarter itself did not have or had minimal political ad spend benefits in it |
| So for us, it's not a bad thing |
| It's basically is very, very minimal |
| I'm more curious on two things that relates to that |
| And at the other end of that, we know the ones that don't perform well |
