VANCOUVER, BC, June 28, 2022 /CNW/ - Jasper Commerce Inc. (TSXV: JPIM) ("Jasper" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Product Information Management ("PIM") solutions, announces its third fiscal quarter (Q3 2022) financial results for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2022. Jasper Interactive Studios Inc was acquired by Jasper in a reverse takeover transaction on February 16, 2022, and did a concurrent financing for $6 million. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.

• Total revenue was $1,306,291 for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 growing 30% year-over-year from $1,007,331 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. Revenues from subscriptions were up 50% year-on-year to $888,540, compared to $591,570 in 2021. Revenue growth from subscriptions was driven by an increase in Enterprise license sales. Revenue for Q3 2022 was $383,297 versus $335,661 for the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Q3 2021), a 14% year-over-year growth rate.
  
  
• Expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $8,305,875 versus $2,430,352 for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. Expenses for Q3 2022 were $5,182,937 compared to $1,019,632 in Q3 2021. Listing costs related to the reverse takeover, the fair value of additional shares issued on conversion of debentures to equity, and hiring of new staff and vendor scale up accounted materially for the increase of expenses during  Q3 2022. Non-recurring RTO listing costs represented the bulk of these expenses and comprised $2,292,750 in Q3 2022, the fair value of additional shares issued on conversion of debentures to equity, also non-recurring, comprised another $813,988.
  
  
• Net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 was $6,999,584, compared to a net loss of $1,423,021 for the nine months ended April 30, 2022. Net loss for Q3 2022 was $4,799,640 versus a $683,971 net loss for Q3 2021. The larger net-loss was largely associated with the go public transaction as well as some increase in expenses for new personnel.

"This quarter we completed our go public transaction and successfully closed a $6 million financing and have been investing in sales and marketing to continue along this growth path," said Jasper CEO Jon Marsella. "I'm pleased with the Company's nine month performance with 50% growth in subscription revenue and am optimistic for our future prospects as we advance discussions with new partners that should open new channels of growth." 

"I expect that Jasper will continue the trend of achieving a strong year-over-year organic growth as we apply the use of our new public proceeds towards sales and marketing acceleration, expansion into new marketplaces, channel partnerships, and continued product innovation. I would like to thank all our shareholders and employees for their contributions in bringing Jasper public and look forward to providing further updates on milestones and financial execution."
