Outlook:

The overall outlook for INEO remains positive. Despite the current challenging macroeconomic environment INEO is experiencing an unprecedented increase in sales activity. The Company's sales pipeline has increased to over $40 million in annual recurring revenue through its direct sales efforts and with increasing traction through its global distribution partner, Prosegur. The Company's key objectives for the next year are as follows:

  • Continue to expand and roll-out the INEO Media Network to its large retail chain customers.
  • Convert its current pilot installations with large retailers to signed customer roll-outs.
  • Support Prosegur with its growth and initiatives with key retailers across the globe.
  • Achieve record revenue in fiscal 2023 with substantial year-over-year growth driven by the expansion of its INEO Media Network.

INEO's direct sales efforts have resulted in landing several large retail chains, while the Prosegur partnership has resulted in pilot installations or commitments with many more large retail chains in the United States and South America across various industries including pharmacy, agriculture supplies, department store, clothing retailer, global sports franchise, supermarket and luxury department store chain. 

INEO is in an enviable financial position with a clean balance sheet and revenues beginning to ramp up. The Company has seeded the market with pilot systems in a number of retailers which it expects to convert into full scale roll-outs in the coming quarters.  As retailers continue to invest in retail tech and retail media networks, advertising and analytics are becoming increasingly important in the modern retail environment. INEO is well positioned to take advantage of these trends with strong initial customer traction, market leading technology and programmatic advertising partners.

Kyle Hall, CEO of INEO stated, "The Company is at a growth inflection point as we are actively deploying systems with our large retail chain customers and also adding more retail chain pilots through the partnership with Prosegur. INEO expects the increase in its sales activity will lead to record revenue in fiscal 2023.  We look forward to announcing customer wins in the coming quarters leading to a substantial expansion of INEO's Media Network."
