    Management Commentary

    NETSOL Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Najeeb Ghauri stated, “Our first quarter of 2024 was highlighted by increases in total net revenue, improved gross margins, and profitability. This quarter highlights the strength of our business model particularly when we recognize licensing fees, subscription and support revenues, and services revenues. One goal is to drive more consistent license revenue alongside our more predictable subscription and support and services revenues.

    “We also continue to drive our cost containment initiative so we can reallocate capital to growing our SaaS business and expansion into the United States market. On that front, our focus continues to be staffing our new office in Austin, Texas with the best talent available to address this largely untapped market. Moreover, our white label SaaS-based solution Otoz is now live in 60 MiniAnywhere dealerships across 37 U.S. states, demonstrating the growing demand for SaaS-based solutions in this market. Finally, we continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities throughout North America.

    “We’re very pleased with our results this quarter, and we believe that our performance reflects the long-term earnings potential for NETSOL as we continue to scale our revenue. We are working diligently to build our pipeline of licensing deals, and along with our expanding SaaS offerings, we believe this will drive improved results and more consistent profitability and cash generation.”
