TECSYS REPORTS RECORD REVENUE FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FISCAL 2023

TECSYS Inc. has released its results for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal year 2023 ended April 30, 2023. All dollar amounts are prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS).

"Our solid performance in the fourth quarter closes out a remarkable year underpinned by strong growth. It's fitting that the year we celebrate our 40th anniversary in business, we are reporting just under 40-per-cent year-over-year growth in [software-as-a-service] revenue and SaaS bookings, and over 40-per-cent year-over-year growth in [remaining performance obligation]," said Peter Brereton, president and chief executive officer at TECSYS. "With a supply chain industry in flux and companies actively sourcing and selecting their next supply chain technology partner, we enter fiscal 2024 with confidence that our business is well positioned to seize that opportunity and expand our presence in a rapidly growing market."

Mark Bentler, chief financial officer of TECSYS, added: "This is our first fiscal year where SaaS revenue represents over half of our recurring revenue. With a record revenue quarter led by 44-per-cent SaaS revenue growth, we are proud of the transformative effect our SaaS offerings are having on our business and the value we believe they will create for our stakeholders. By its recurring nature, growing SaaS revenue provides greater visibility into future revenue. With that in mind, we have decided to start providing financial guidance on several key metrics, which you will see below."
