Locafy Announces Updated Profitability Timeline for FY 2023
10 January 2023 - 8:10AM
Locafy Limited (Nasdaq: LCFY, LCFYW)
(“Locafy” or “the Company”), a globally recognized
software-as-a-service technology company specializing in local
search engine marketing, today announced an updated timeline for
achieving profitability during the 2023 full-year period.
Over the past several months, Locafy has completed a series of
initiatives in line with the Company’s growth strategy, including:
the September 2022 acquisition of Jimmy Kelley Digital (“JKD”), a
Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) technology firm led by SEO and
e-commerce specialist Jimmy Kelley; the October 2022 launch of
Brand Boost, an e-commerce SEO marketing tool that increases brand
visibility and drives online product sales for Locafy clients; the
December launch of Keystone, a national SEO solution that enhances
search engine ranking results of companies seeking national
prominence for target keywords; and, a series of internal
reorganizations and cost cutting initiatives across all areas of
the business.
Locafy’s recent execution on this strategy positions the Company
to reach profitability in the coming months. First, the integration
of JKD into Locafy’s processes has reached its final stages. Jimmy
Kelley, now Locafy’s Global Head of Search Technology, has already
begun leading-edge training and educational programs for SEO
industry thought leaders via Locafy’s’ SEO Mastermind Academy. When
the Mastermind group and other resellers are trained on the latest
SEO techniques, the Company anticipates this will drive product
sales for Locafy’s technology solutions for local, brand and
national SEO customers. The Company expects to generate further
revenue growth as these new products gain traction within the
Locafy reseller network, which is largely concentrated in North
America and Australia.
JKD’s proprietary research has also helped to bolster Locafy’s
R&D efforts, in part by facilitating the launch of Locafy Brand
Boost and Keystone products, amongst other software enhancements.
Having commercially launched these products, management has
transitioned the Company’s R&D efforts into a more streamlined
structure with reduced overheads. The Company has reduced its
monthly expenses and it expects, based on historical financial
results and management’s current revenue projections, to be
profitable by the beginning of Locafy’s fiscal fourth quarter,
starting in April 2023.
“The last few months have been transformational for our
technology, client base, and team,” said Locafy CEO, Gavin Burnett.
“Our best-in-class software products will help us continue to scale
and deliver our solutions to more customers, increasing recurring
revenue. With our current projections in mind and after completing
several cost-reduction initiatives, we expect Locafy to be
profitable by the beginning of April. We are encouraged by the
opportunity ahead of us in the second half of our fiscal 2023, and
look forward to communicating our progress towards this important
milestone.”
