BlueRush Inc. Releases Fiscal Q1 2024 Results
December 29 2023 - 5:00PM
BlueRush Inc. ("
BlueRush" or the
"
Company") (TSXV:BTV; OTCQB:BTVRF), a
pioneering personalized video Software as a Service
("
SaaS") company, in its recent financial quarter
ending October 31, 2023, reported a challenging quarter compared to
the same period in the previous year. This press release provides
an overview of the Company’s performance, underlying factors,
strategic responses, and outlook for the future.
Financial Highlights
- SaaS Revenues (defined below):
Decreased by 15% to $644,914 in Q1 2024, compared to $756,024 in Q1
2023.
- Gross Profit: Witnessed a 40%
decrease, amounting to $482,682 in Q1 2024 versus $844,587 in Q1
2023.
- Total Operating Expenses: Decreased
by 20% or $284,446, totaling $1,169,983 in Q1 2024 compared to
$1,454,384 in Q1 2023.
The recent fiscal quarter saw BlueRush
experience a decline in its total revenues (both SaaS Revenues and
BlueRush’s other revenues). This decline was primarily attributed
to the loss of a large customer, driven by their need to undertake
significant cost-cutting measures, despite their satisfaction with
BlueRush's technological solutions.
The past year has presented challenges, largely
influenced by external economic conditions and pressures within the
financial services sector. However, BlueRush remains committed to
its core strength of delivering exceptional value and is taking
proactive steps to adapt and thrive in this evolving market
landscape.
In response to these challenges, BlueRush has
implemented several key strategies:
- Diversification of Client
Portfolio: Goal of broadening its client base across different
sectors to mitigate risks associated with client
concentration.
- Enhancement of Technology:
Continuing to invest in technology, particularly in the domain of
artificial intelligence, to offer more cost-effective and
innovative solutions.
- Focus on growth areas within the
Financial Services vertical: Certain areas including wealth
management and insurance continue to show strength.
Market Outlook - Despite the challenges of the
past months, BlueRush remains cautiously optimistic about the
recovery and growth opportunities within the financial services and
other sectors. Recent new customers provide a springboard for
growth and the Company is strategically positioning itself to
capitalize on emerging opportunities, especially in the wealth
management, banking, and insurance sectors.
Sector-Specific Successes
- Insurance Vertical: BlueRush has
seen considerable success in the insurance sector, especially with
innovative solutions in pet insurance, flood insurance, and support
for insurance brokers through personalized video technology.
- 401K Market: BlueRush solutions in
the 401K market have shown promising growth, with new customer
acquisitions and effective support in matched funding
programs.
- Significant New Enterprise
Customer: Towards the end of Q1 2024, BlueRush secured a large
US$80,000 subscription deal with a large enterprise customer. This
deal, although not reflected in the quarter’s financials due to
being signed at the end of the quarter, has the potential to
generate future revenue streams.
Management remains confident that the strategic
decisions and initiatives undertaken are guiding the Company
towards sustained growth and stability in Annual Recurring Revenue.
BlueRush is continuously exploring innovative solutions and market
opportunities to ensure long-term success.
