archTIS Ltd managing director and CEO Daniel Lai joins Proactive’s Tylah Tully to talk through the company’s strong financial performance for the first quarter of FY 2025.
Quarterly sales reached A$3.8 million, largely bolstered by a A$2.3 million licensing deal with the Australian Department of Defence for expanded NC Protect licensing to strengthen data security.
Total revenue stood at A$1.45 million, with A$950,000 from licensing and A$500,000 from services, yielding a gross profit of A$1.1 million and a 75% gross margin.
Annual recurring revenue increased 16% year-over-year, reaching A$3.96 million. The company reduced operational expenditure by 5% to approximately A$650,000 per month and further improved cash flow in October with A$3 million in collections.
Additionally, archTIS secured a non-dilutive funding expansion to A$3.5 million from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) and expects a tax refund of A$1.9 million.
Product innovation included the launch of Trusted Data Integration (TDI) for secure, large-scale structured data management.
Contracts with the Australian Department of Defence, BGW Germany, an Australian university, and a European bank underscored archTIS’s growing global reach.
