We are seeing additional operational improvements in Q2 which again will increase our profitability as we drive towards bringing in additional deals and becoming cash flow positive in 2024".

Financial Performance

Revenue: Our revenue for Q1 2024 stood at $1,024,000 million. While this represents a decrease compared to the same period last year, it is important to note the transformative steps we have taken to enhance our business model which will have a material impact on profitability the rest of the year 2024 and beyond.

Profit Margins: The most notable achievement this quarter has been the remarkable improvement in our profit margins. Through a combination of rigorous cost-cutting initiatives and strategic investments, particularly in AI technology and our operational move to India, we have seen our margins increase from 30% in 2023 to 51% in Q1 2024. This represents a 66% improvement.

This positive trend continues into Q2 2024, where we are projecting margins to reach 70-80%, a +166% improvement compared to 2023. This significant increase in profitability underscores the effectiveness of our strategies and our commitment to operational excellence.

Operational Highlights

3D Modeling Business: We continue to excel in our core 3D modeling business, delivering thousands of high-quality 3D models to our largest customer, Amazon, on a monthly basis. While Amazon remains our biggest client, we have diversified our customer base and are not solely reliant on them.

New Customer Acquisitions: In Q1, we had anticipated closing deals with several large enterprise S&P 500 companies. Although these deals have been deferred to Q2, we have successfully closed one major contract in Q2, which is expected to contribute an additional 10% to our Q2 revenue compared to Q1. Moreover, we are in advanced discussions with five enterprise customers, and we expect to finalize these agreements in Q2 and Q3 2024. We are now exclusively focused on large enterprise contracts which we anticipate will have a major impact on our business in the near future.

Strategic Initiatives

Our strategic move to India in late 2023 has been instrumental in enhancing our cost structure and scalability. The investment in AI technology has not only streamlined our operations but also positioned us at the forefront of innovation in the 3D modeling industry. These initiatives are critical to our long-term growth and competitive edge.

Notable News from Q1 2024

New AI-Powered 3D Model Search Tool: Earlier this month, the Company announced it had gone live with its proprietary AI-powered 3D model search engine. This advanced search engine integrates AI and computer vision technologies to refine and expedite the process of 3D modeling.
