* GMV represents the value of all transactions performed by
merchants using Urbanimmersive’s business solutions for invoicing
and/or collecting payments for their services** Q1-21 EBITDA
adjusted for subsidiary setup costs ($17k) and legal fees incurred
for the Company’ listing on OTCQB ($17k).*** The increase in other
expenses is mainly explained by the non-recurring adjustment
required to the theoretical interests and fair values of embedded
derivatives on convertible debentures upon conversion into shares
for a net adjustment of $549k for Q2-21 and $1,599k for the first 6
months of the current fiscal year.
ACHIEVEMENTS
“During the quarter, we had to navigate once
again in a particularly difficult economic environment with the
number of real estate transactions down significantly (-50%) while
compared to same period last year and which is largely attributable
to the current health crisis. In this seller market, many
transactions are even completed before being listed, meaning no
virtual tours are produced. In that context, we are proud to have
been able to deliver those results and very encouraged about our
future, in particular with the strong growth observed recently in
the use of our immersive 3D tours and floor plans services and our
positioning on the market, while expecting a return to normal in
real estate activities later this year.
Although confinement measures and the scarcity
of real estate transactions temporarily affect our results, the
current health crisis has accelerated significantly the adoption
and use of virtual environments in many markets (e.g. residential
and commercial real estate, retail, asset management, industrial,
security, etc.) and lead us to believe that the future of
Urbanimmersive is very promising in the medium and long term. The
support of strategic investors who have decided to participate in
our recent private placement or to convert their debentures
provides further validation of our business and our game plan.
In addition, the fact of having solidified our
financial position through the conversion into shares of $4.5m
convertible debentures and the closing of a $3.0m private placement
gives us the flexibility to accelerate the commercialization of our
new innovative products and be more active looking at some
strategic opportunities," said Simon Bédard, Chief Financial
Officer of Urbanimmersive.
“This very important quarter set the foundations
for new growth drivers and sources of recurring income for our
Company. First, we anticipate that our unique interactive 3D tours
(UiMeet3D), for which demand is already very strong, will be able
to be used very soon in many business segments, in particular by
real estate agents and retailers. The announcement of our first
contracts to offer immersive 3D tours as an annual license in new
markets such as the security market also confirms all the
competitive advantages and potential of our solutions in such
environments and should contribute to increase our recurring
revenues and diversify our operations. Our preliminary agreement
with Prospect Software should also allow us to expand our
activities more quickly with major players in the real estate
space. Those key milestones, our recent progress in product
development, our solid financial position and our strategic
positioning allow us to look to the future with great optimism,”
said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.
The Company has also issued 286,302 shares at a
price of $0.165 to some Officers and employees as variable
compensation covering the most recent quarter.
