Management Commentary

“Our performance in the first quarter of 2025 was driven by encouraging trends including a double-digit increase in subscription and support revenue and consistent services revenues when compared to the first quarter of 2024,” Najeeb Ghauri, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of NETSOL Technologies Inc., commented. “Importantly, we achieved these results without recognizing any meaningful license fees in the quarter, demonstrating a shift in our revenue to rely less on large, one-time licensing fees and benefit from more predictable and consistent SaaS sales.

“We continued to invest in the growth of our business during the quarter,” Mr. Ghauri continued. “Geographic expansion remains a key strategic focus for us, and we believe that there is significant opportunity for growth in new markets, as well as the ones that we currently hold a leadership position in as we continue to innovate and evolve our product offerings to meet shifting market demands. The recent product rebranding has been particularly well received and we’re focused on investing in our business development initiatives to create a more sustainable pipeline of opportunities across all our markets.

“Growth in the United States continues to be a top priority, and we’re making encouraging progress as we continue to penetrate this region. During the quarter, we announced a five-year, $16 million deal with a major automaker and to revolutionize their digital car buying experience through Transcend Retail, our omnichannel digital retail platform. We’re performing in our established markets as well – during the quarter, we signed an expansion agreement with a major automaker in China increasing the contract value to over $30 million, demonstrating our strength of customer relationships and ongoing demand for our products from Tier 1 names in the auto industry. We remain confident that we will be able to achieve double digit revenue growth this fiscal year.”

Roger Almond, Chief Financial Officer of NETSOL Technologies Inc., commented, “Our first quarter results reflect the strengthening of our business model with solid growth of our recurring revenue base. From a liquidity standpoint, we strengthened our balance sheet in the quarter with a cash position of $24.5 million compared with $19.1 million at the close of fiscal 2024, as well as improved working capital. Looking ahead, we believe that NETSOL is well positioned to deliver double-digit revenue growth in fiscal 2025 and drive enhanced value for our shareholders.”
