The Glimpse Group Reports Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results
"Our 5th year of operations was a pivotal year for Glimpse as we became, to our knowledge, the first and only Nasdaq listed, pure play, diversified AR/VR software and services company following our successful $14.1 million initial public offering on July 1, 2021," said Lyron Bentovim, President and CEO of The Glimpse Group. "In the face of the pandemic, we achieved impressive organic revenue growth across all of our lines of business and have a growing list of top tier customers across industries. We are particularly encouraged by our core VR/AR software and services revenues which grew by 239% year-over-year. In an emerging industry, these are a testimony to the strength of our ecosystem and innovative subsidiary companies, which continue to establish themselves in diverse industry sectors."
Mr. Bentovim continued: "As detailed in the table below, we have a very clean and strong balance sheet, with no convertible debt or preferred equity outstanding, and no material cash obligations. In addition, we strive to run the Company efficiently as demonstrated by our improving EBITDA and Cash Flow from Operations. As large stakeholders in the Company, Management is well aligned with Glimpse's shareholder base at large and is strongly committed and incentivized to maximizing shareholder value."
"IP and patents are an integral part of our strategy, and in FY '21 we were issued two (2) new U.S. patents. One (1) additional patent issued soon thereafter (for four (4) U.S. Patents in total so far), with nine (9) additional filed U.S. patents in process and others in various stages of formation. Lastly, we added two independent directors to our board of directors with extensive operating, technology and investing experience, demonstrating our continued commitment to strong corporate governance."
Bentovim concluded: "As we look ahead, we expect to continue our rapid organic revenue growth while making additional opportune and accretive acquisitions that will propel us forward and build scale in the nascent AR and VR industry. In line with this, we expect our Q1 FY '22 (July-September '21) revenues will be significantly higher than those of the same quarter the prior year. As this industry continues to develop, we remain poised for steady execution of our long-term growth strategy of becoming a premier, enterprise focused, software and services player in the space. In parallel, we believe that Glimpse is positioned to play an enabling role in the development of the Metaverse as it evolves from its current mostly conceptual form to a business reality, and as other emerging technologies (AI, Computer Vision, Blockchain) potentially coalesce together with VR and AR over time.

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.
