ProntoForms Reports Q2 2022 Financial Results

Reached a milestone of USD $20 million of base ARR at June 30, 2022


OTTAWA, Aug. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProntoForms Corporation (TSXV: PFM), the global leader in no-code app development platforms for field teams, announced today its second quarter (Q2) financial results for the period ended June 30, 2022. All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

“We started 2022 with a disappointing Q1. In the second half of 2021, we added new leadership followed by large changes to the sales organization. Q2 2022 showed improvement but didn’t reflect the volume that we expected. We finished Q2 with 9% annual growth in recurring revenue and 2% over Q1,” said Alvaro Pombo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “After the lag in bookings in the first half, we are seeing value building up. We had an important enterprise expansion in Q2 that added over $250,000 of ARR to bring that customer to over $940,000 in that quarter, and growth is expected to continue. We are seeing more new and expansion activity and are confident that we have a capable enterprise go-to-market structure that is scaling as our enterprise salespeople ramp.”

Mr. Pombo continued, “We recently passed the $20 million ARR milestone. 51% of the base now comes from enterprise-size customers (> 2,500 employees) and 41% of the base comes from customers with greater than $100,000 of ARR each. The challenge of technician enablement for enterprises is not going away any time soon.”

“I’m pleased with ProntoForms,” said Chairman Terence Matthews. “The company is experiencing unprecedented levels of business activity with partners, clients, evaluations, and contracts. Our technology comes at the right time to help our clients significantly improve agility and cost of their field automation while enabling them to continuously improve their workflows. This results in better customer and technician experience yielding higher service reliability and uptime.”
