Windsor Mills, MD, Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:YYAI) reported audited operating results for the FY24 period ended April 30, 2024 and provided an update of operations.
For the fiscal year 2024 ended April 30, 2024, the Company reported revenue of $8.4 million compared to $9.9 million in the year-ago period – a decrease of 15 percent. Despite on-going high consumer demand, the revenue shortfall can be directly attributed to inventory availability issues stemming back to the end of Q3. Gross margin continued to improve to 41% driving a 22 percent increase in gross profit for the full year. Coupled with significant decreases in operating expenses, the company reported an operating loss for the year of $6.4M – an improvement of 71 percent over prior year. Correspondingly the company’s net income further improved by 38 percent over FY2023.
“The on-going challenges faced by the company since the end of Q3 with inventory availability, for our tennis launcher in particular, drove an unexpected and significant reduction in Q4 sales. Despite this, the underlying Slinger Bag business remains resilient with high levels of consumer demand. The impact of our consistent growth in gross margins, coupled with the reduction in our operating expense base are delivering strong improvements to both operating and net income results.” said Mike Ballardie, CEO.
“Within Q4 the company continued its progress by launching its Slinger App on both iOS and Android platforms and by also concluding the acquisition of 20% of Yuanyu Enterprise Management. The Company now expects the balance of this share exchange acquisition to close within the coming weeks subject to Nasdaq approval. As previously announced, at the conclusion of this transaction a change-in-control will take place, with Slinger Bag and all its associated assets and liabilities separating out of Connexa and into a private company” concluded Ballardie.
