revenue of $12.1 million, a 17% increase. |
| · | Platform
revenue up 76% to $4.0 million. Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) up 82%
to $16.6 million, which includes approximately $11.7 million of B2B recurring revenue
and $4.9M of B2C recurring revenue. |
| · | Gross
profit up 36%. Total gross margin improved 630 basis points to 45.2%. |
| · | Net

“Our third quarter performance reflects
the first full quarter of contribution from Scite and continued progress integrating Scite and ResoluteAI within our Article Galaxy platform.
While we realized some anticipated churn in ResoluteAI ARR in the quarter, we experienced strong growth in both Scite B2B and B2C ARR,
closing some large cross-sell opportunities with existing customers,” said Roy W. Olivier, President and CEO of Research Solutions.
“During the quarter we launched two new product offerings, Technology Landscape and Clinical Trial Landscape, both of which harness
our ability to simultaneously search across multiple datasets, extracting and synthesizing insights into use case specific outputs as
part of our strategy to deliver workflows that save time for our customers. The highly specialized value proposition for our product
offerings continues to grow as we serve as a critical piece of the research process, giving users the opportunity to effectively discover,
acquire and manage the most relevant content all in one place. Overall, we believe our offerings and expanded addressable market will
deliver meaningful growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”
Fiscal Third Quarter 2024 Results
Total revenue was $12.1 million, a 17% increase
from $10.3 million in the year-ago quarter primarily driven by increased platform revenue from the prior-year period which included a
full quarter of revenue from the acquisitions of ResoluteAI and Scite.
Platform subscription revenue for the quarter
was $4.0 million, a 76% year-over-year increase. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of ResoluteAI and Scite, as well
as organic growth in the core Article Galaxy platform. The quarter ended with annual recurring revenue of $16.6 million, up 82% year-over-year
(see the company’s definition of annual recurring revenue below).
Transaction revenue was $8.2 million, compared
to $8.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This quarter represents the first comparable period following the acquisition of
contracts from FIZ Karlsruhe, which was effective January 1, 2023. The transaction active customer count for the quarter was 1,426, compared
to 1,417 customers in the prior-year quarter (see the company's definition of active customer accounts and transactions below).
Total gross margin improved 630 basis points
from the prior-year quarter to 45.2%. The increase was primarily driven by the continued revenue mix shift to the higher-margin Platforms
business, as well as a modest increase in margins in the transactions business.
Total operating expenses were $5.4 million, compared
to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily related to the additional expense base associated with the acquisitions
of ResoluteAI and Scite.
Net income in the third quarter was $76,000,
or $0.00 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $237,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA
was $961,000, compared to $559,000 in the year-ago quarter (see definition and further discussion about the presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, below).

Active Customer Accounts, Transactions and
Annual Recurring Revenue
The company defines active customer accounts
as the sum of the total quantity of customers per month for each month in the period divided by the respective number of months in the
period. The quantity of customers per month is defined as customers with at least one transaction during the month.
A transaction is an order for a unit of copyrighted
content fulfilled or managed in the Platform.
The company defines annual recurring revenue
(“ARR”) as the value of contracted Platform subscription recurring revenue normalized to a one-year period. For B2C ARR,
this includes the annualized value of monthly subscriptions, meaning their monthly value multiplied by twelve.
Use of Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA
Research Solutions’ management evaluates
and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the company’s GAAP results, management also considers
the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about the company’s
operating results.
The tables below provide a reconciliation of
this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss),
plus interest expense, other income (expense), foreign currency transaction loss, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, gain on sale of discontinued operations, and other potential adjustments that may arise. Set forth below is
a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss):
