(OTCQB: VSBGF) (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt 5VS) (“VSBLTY”), a leading software provider of security and retail analytics technology, today announced its revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $3.2 million (USD), which is a 161% percent increase over Q1 of 2022, and 10 times greater than the previous year’s Q2 of $293K, when the company began to scale its commercial operations.

VSBLTY’s AI driven software Vector™ provides enhanced facial recognition that is crucial to strengthening today’s security requirements when recognizing weapons or suspicious persons in a crowd.

VSBLTY Co-founder & CEO Jay Hutton said, “My team and I are pleased with our Q2 results as they continue to validate our category leadership and the momentum that Store as a Medium has in the marketplace. The company continues to battle through the various marketplace challenges, day-to- day, to remain on track to achieving our annual goals and commitments to our shareholders.”

As of the close of Q2 2022, VSBLTY has an Accounts Receivable balance of $3.0 million (USD). Hutton also explained that VSBLTY has provided $1.2 million in funding to Winkel Media, their Latin American partner, as of June 30th, 2022, as part of its joint venture agreement.

The Company had an operating loss in the second quarter of $1.4 million. This includes a non-cash charge for share-based payments of $187K and a recovery on inventory impairment of $354K compared to an operating loss for Q2 of last year of $3.7 million before share-based payments of $2.2 million.

For the first half of 2022 the Company had revenue of $4.5M versus the prior year’s first half of $423K. Operating loss for the first half was $4.9 million and includes non-cash charges of $1.3 million versus the prior year’s first half loss of $6.9 million before non-cash charges of $3.7 million.

The Company now has a remaining bookings backlog, based on a number of material contracts executed over the past year, that totals over $50 million in total contract value. Most of the signed contracts range from 36 to 48 months and the revenue is expected to be recognized over this period. Bookings (and total contract value) are not generally accepted measures of performance under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures”, below.

Forward-looking information contained in this news release is based on certain assumptions regarding, among other things, expected growth, results of operations, performance, industry trends and growth opportunities. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable, based on information available, they may prove to be incorrect. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: pricing for the Company’s products and services; the ability to enter into contracts and ability of third parties to honor their contractual obligations; the decisions of third parties over which the Company has no control; changes to government regulations; force majeure events; limits on the ability of the Company to implement and fulfill its business strategies; general economic conditions; adverse industry events; operating costs exceeding the Company’s expectations; loss of markets or failure to enter new markets; future legislative and regulatory developments; inability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, and/or inability to access sufficient capital on favorable terms; the ability of the Company to implement its business strategies including expansion plans; and competition.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

In this news release the Company makes reference to “bookings”, which is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company believes that this non-IFRS financial measure is a useful performance indicator for investors with regard to operating and financial performance of the Company. Bookings is not a generally accepted financial measure under IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Investors are cautioned that bookings, and any other non-IFRS financial measures, should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, earnings or cash flow, as determined in accordance with IFRS. As there is no standardized method of calculating bookings, our method of calculating bookings may differ from the methods used by other entities and, accordingly, our use of bookings may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Accordingly, this Non-IFRS financial measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
