NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2024 / The Glimpse Group, Inc. ("Glimpse") (NASDAQ:VRAR)(FSE:9DR), a diversified Immersive Technology platform company providing enterprise-focused Virtual Reality ("VR"), Augmented Reality ("AR") and Spatial Computing software and services, provided financial results for its second quarter fiscal year 2024 ("Q2 FY'24").
Business Summary by President & CEO Lyron Bentovim
Q2 FY '24 (October 1, 2023 - December 31, 2023) was highlighted by:
Made significant strides toward securing several multi-million dollar annual Spatial Computing/Cloud/AI contracts with large Department of Defense and Commercial entities. While there is no guarantee that these contracts will come to fruition, we are optimistic that they may be signed in the short term.
Q2 FY '24 quarterly revenue of approximately $2.1 million, a 29% decrease compared to revenue of approximately $2.95 million in Q2 FY '23. This decline is in line with our previously announced expectations, as we continue to: a) strategically transition our business from predominantly Immersive marketing driven projects to enterprise-scale Spatial Computing/Cloud/AI driven Immersive recurring software solutions, and b) divest non-core operating assets.
While investing in the development of our Spatial Computing solutions, we have continued to reduce non-core cash expenses. In the aggregate, we have reduced cash expenses by approximately 50% from their high. Our operational cash breakeven point in now approximately $3 million revenue per quarter or $12 million annually (excluding potential growth investments). For relative reference, our Q1 FY '24 revenue was $3.1 million and our FY '23 (June 30) annual revenue was approximately $13.5 million, revenue figures that we believe are attainable once some of the large contracts we have in the pipeline materialize.
Gross Margin for Q2 FY ‘24 was approximately 68% compared to 70% for Q2 FY ‘23. As we complete our strategic transition, we expect our Gross Margins to continue to remain in the 65-70% range and potentially increase afterward.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q2 FY'24 was approximately $1.3 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $2.6 million for Q2 FY '23, reflecting the reductions in operational expenses.
Q2 FY '24 Financial Summary (for full detail of our financial results please refer to our 8K and 10Q filed on 2/14/24)
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $2.08 million compared to approximately $2.95 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 29%. Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $5.18 million compared to approximately $6.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 25%. The decrease reflects our strategic shift to Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven immersive software solutions.
Gross profit was approximately 68% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately 70% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Gross profit was approximately 64% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately 70% for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by the lower margin on project revenue in the current fiscal year due to increased use of outside contractors.
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $2.23 million compared to $0.84 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of approximately 165% (Q2 FY '22 Operating expenses were lower due to the non-cash gain on a change in fair value of acquisition contingent consideration). Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $4.33 million compared to $9.01 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, an decrease of approximately 52%. These reflect a decrease in all expense categories, reduced investment in non-core areas and divesting non-core assets as a result of our strategic shift to Spatial Computing, Cloud and AI driven immersive software solutions.
Net loss of $0.74 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to net income of $1.31 million for the comparable 2022 period (Q2 FY '22 Net income was driven by the non-cash gain on a change in fair value of acquisition contingent consideration). Net loss of $0.86 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to a net loss of $4.07 million for the comparable 2022 period. These reflect a reduction in Operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.33 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a $2.60 million loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.60 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a $3.64 million loss for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The reduced EBITDA loss for both periods was driven by cash operating expense reductions.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.22 million.
The Company has no outstanding corporate debt or preferred equity obligations.

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company's internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
