SLYCE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
Slyce Inc. has released its financial results for the first quarter ended Jan. 31, 2015.
"This past quarter has delivered significant traction for our company on multiple fronts," said Mark Elfenbein, president and chief executive officer of Slyce. "We have seen continued growth in the company's business development pipeline, an acquisition of leading U.S. shopping app SnipSnap, finalized contracts with U.S. retailer JCPenney, Offerpop, a prominent Fortune 50 retailer and others, to provide visual search technology.
"Slyce is extremely pleased to have validated its business model and emerge during the quarter as a revenue-generating entity from its first recurring customer contract. These results do not include revenues to be derived from its recently signed customer contracts. Management anticipates a steady pipeline of new customer contracts to be entered into during 2015 and to achieve exponential quarter over quarter revenue growth for Q2 in line with its current business model.
"Through technology deployments already in the marketplace, strategic partnerships and company owned, direct-to-consumer assets, the Slyce visual search platform now services over eight million users. We expect significant increases in platform users by the end of the next quarter through contracted deployments that are yet to launch to the marketplace.
"During Q2 Slyce will continue to execute on its business development opportunities in a marketplace experiencing significant growth and to develop and refine the Slyce platform in order to continue delivering a market-leading product."
During the three-month period ended Jan. 31, 2015, and up to date, the company achieved the following business highlights, business development milestones and acquisition:
- Jan. 6: Slyce debuts integration of its image recognition platform
for grocery retailing within Purchase Decision Network's leading
grocery list creation app Shopper. The Snap2Add functionality
enables users of Shopper to snap photographs of grocery products in
their homes -- including non-packaged items such as fruit and vegetables
-- and have them recognized and immediately added to their mobile
shopping lists where they can instantly ensure product availability,
achieve best pricing and automatically access coupon offers.
- Feb. 13: Slyce acquired SnipSnap App LLC, including the purchase all of the issued and outstanding units in
SnipSnap for a purchase price of up to $6.5-million (U.S.) payable
in a combination of cash, common shares and conditional shares. SnipSnap
was the first company to develop image-recognition technology for
scanning and interpreting coupons with a mobile device. The SnipSnap
app, available for iOS and Android, allows a user to take a photograph
of a retail coupon and instantly transform it into a digital, mobile
format, which can be easily searched, retrieved, redeemed and shared
with other SnipSnap users on their smart phones.
- Feb. 25: Slyce announced an agreement with Offerpop, the leading
software-as-a-service-based consumer engagement platform. Through this partnership, Slyce
will provide automated visual recognition across branded social shopping
campaigns. Using the Offerpop platform, brands can deploy shoppable
engagement experiences that encourage customers to share their own
product photos through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and more. Offerpop
then collects this user-generated content and showcases it in dynamic,
visual galleries that can be featured across all of the brand's digital
properties.
- March 6: Slyce signed a contract with a North American Fortune Top 50
company to commence powering visual search across its mobile commerce
platform. The deployment will enable users of the company's smart phone
application to snap images of products anywhere and receive direct or
close-matching items from a catalogue of over 1.3 million products, which
they can purchase with one tap.
- March 25: Slyce signed a contract with U.S. retailer JCPenney to power
visual search for mobile commerce.
Slyce derives revenues through monthly recurring software licensing fees and fees associated with purchase transactions, in line with its current business model.
The above, recently signed agreements did not contribute revenue in the first quarter but are expected to create revenue growth in subsequent quarters.
