PicoCELA Reports Higher Revenue and Lower Net Loss for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2024

40% YoY Increase in Revenue and 23% YoY Decrease in Net Loss , /PRNewswire/ -- PicoCELA Inc. ("PicoCELA" or the "Company,") (Nasdaq: PCLA), a Tokyo-based provider of enterprise wireless mesh solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. Recent Operational Highlights:40% year-over-year ("YoY") growth in revenue, which was primarily caused by a 34% YoY increase in the Company's enterprise wireless Wi-Fi equipment business, while the Company's supplemental businesses of software-as-a-service and maintenance service also grew by 69% YoY. The Company's revenue growth in sales of its enterprise Wi-Fi equipment was due to recovery of its equipment production from the supply chain disruption caused by the shortage of Wi-Fi chips, which was a result of the sharp growth in the demand for Wi-Fi chips in the post-COVID-19 recovery of the global economy. Management Commentary"This past year was a pivotal year for PicoCELA to resume its growth track," said chief executive officer and founder, Hiroshi Furukawa, Ph.D. "We achieved record revenue, and this is a good indication that the recognition of our technology and our products has been growing in the Japanese market. We are also hoping that our recent initial public offering on Nasdaq in the U.S. securities market will help increase global recognition of PicoCELA." Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results: Revenue increased by 40% to $5.5 million (¥784,403 thousand) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.9 million (¥559,521 thousand) for the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue from product equipment. Cost of revenue increased by 24.5% to $2.5 million (¥361,202 thousand) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.0 million (¥290,090 thousand) for the prior fiscal year, reflecting the higher direct costs associated with the higher revenue during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
