Management Commentary
"The first half of fiscal 2021 was another period of record-breaking revenue, and over the past five years our first-half revenue has consistently represented between 27% and 35% of our full-year revenue," commented Doug Dyment, President and CEO. "Our backlog and sales pipeline remain strong in both the transit and school markets and we are winning new customers and booking repeat business from existing customers in a business model we describe as recurring-customer business. In the transit market we are actively conducting proof-of-concept trials for new products we are developing that integrate our AI and video analytics capabilities. In the school market over the past year, we have announced contracts with 3 of the top 10 school districts in the US, plus the largest bus dealer. Some of these contracts are for factory-installed solutions on new buses. We continue to work with our partner in the development of CLARITY, and our sales team is now introducing CLARITY to school districts as a solution to the logistics challenges created by the new era of hybrid schooling."
"Our two new director appointments add significant experience to our board," continued Doug Dyment. "Mr. Sutherland brings extensive experience in finance and capital markets, while Mr. Muirhead brings industry expertise in school transportation and government relations, which will help guide our ongoing growth strategy. We are also honored to have been named a Top 10 Tech company in the 2021 TSX Venture 50 during the quarter."
