    Management Commentary

    NETSOL Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Najeeb Ghauri stated, “From a financial perspective, our fourth quarter results fell short of our goals and expectations. However, this past quarter and full fiscal year was characterized by progress advancing our three core growth drivers that we believe will give current and prospective shareholders reason to be optimistic about what’s on the horizon for NETSOL. We continue to drive our transition to SaaS-based, recurring revenue and we’re seeing positive sequential and year-over-year growth, highlighted by our full-year subscription and support revenues exceeding our stated target of $25 million. As we seek interest from existing customers in converting to SaaS pricing and with new clients purchasing SaaS and cloud-based solutions, we expect our subscription and support revenues to be positioned for continued growth.

    “Our ongoing transition to SaaS based pricing has also allowed us to implement significant cost reduction strategies across our business including the reduction of our head count by what we expect to be approximately 300 after a period of severance required by local laws that extend into the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024. As we continue to drive these initiatives, we expect to be able to better allocate capital to the growing, higher margin part of our business to drive profitability. Additionally, we continue to make strides on our expansion strategy into the North American markets. As previously mentioned, we have established a facility in Austin, Texas to support our United States operations, and we’re taking the time to staff it with the most qualified individuals to efficiently grow our business in this region.

    “Our established markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region and Europe remain strong, and our pipeline continues to be active with several potential licensing deals in the works. We believe that we have the pieces in place to generate long-term growth for our business, and given our healthy pipeline, we are targeting $61 million to $63 million in revenue for the full fiscal year 2024, or 16% to 20% revenue growth. We are not satisfied with our current results, but we have a strategy in place that we are focusing our time, energy, and patience on executing, and we believe that this will yield long-term, sustainable growth and positive results for NETSOL.”
