ProntoForms Reports Q2 2023 Financial Results

Growth in TTM ARR Accelerates to 19% and Operating Loss Declines


OTTAWA, July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProntoForms Corporation (TSXV: PFM), the global leader in field intelligence, announced today its second quarter (Q2) financial results for the period ended June 30, 2023. All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

“Our Trailing Twelve Months (“TTM”) revenue growth accelerated to 14% from 11.5% in the last quarter, and TTM annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) base growth to 19% from 13% last quarter, with first half net bookings results exceeding all of 2022. The company reported strong subscription growth in the second quarter of 2023 based on a large win, good growth in existing accounts, and the highest level of revenue retention in two years. We continue to focus on four key vertical markets where we can deliver a considerable return on investment to customers through reduced field service costs, richer data, and higher levels of compliance as shown by our recent $3M win in the medical device industry,” said Philip Deck, co-CEO of ProntoForms.

“Consistent with our disclosure last quarter, our lower operating loss still included costs related to organizational changes. These were necessary to support changes made across our operations as we reconfigured our workforce for higher growth and profitability. We anticipate that most of the organizational changes are behind us and remain focused on reaching non-GAAP operating profitability by Q4,” he added.

“In today’s economy, field technicians generate substantial high-margin revenue for their organizations and play a crucial role in delivering customer satisfaction. They also amass valuable data through their job interactions, generating insights that enable new levels of team and process efficiency. However, with the new guard increasingly prizing job satisfaction as part of a generational shift in the industry, they are favouring roles built around their needs more and more. Therefore, it is critical for organizations with significant field service operations to prioritize the technician experience. Our product excels in consolidating this wealth of information while enhancing technician satisfaction and operational productivity. Our name change to TrueContext slated for later this year reflects our wider repositioning as a leader in enterprise field intelligence,” ProntoForms co-CEO and Founder Alvaro Pombo explained.

Certain information in this press release may constitute forward-looking information. For example, statements about the Company’s future growth or value, the revenues anticipated to be received by the Company from recent contracts referred to above and anticipated market trends are forward-looking information. This information is based on current expectations that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. The Company’s business and value may not grow as anticipated or at all, revenue anticipated from contracts may not be received due to many risks, including factors specific to the customer, and anticipated market trends may not occur or continue. Historical growth levels and results may not be indicative of future growth levels or results. The Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to the Company. There are a number of risk factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those described herein. Please see “Risk Factors Affecting Future Results” in the Company’s annual management discussion and analysis dated March 9, 2022 found at www.sedar.com for a discussion of such factors.

ARR is calculated as the annual equivalent of the recurring elements of our contracts with customers that are in effect at the end of the period. It excludes one-time professional service fees and assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, unless such renewal is known to be unlikely at period end. Please also refer to the Company’s management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a description of how the Company determines and uses ARR.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
