SSFT Sonasoft Corp (CE)

SAN JOSE, CA -- September 3, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- SonasoftCorp. (OTCQB: SSFT), a leader in innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and data management solutions, today reports its financial results for its second quarter (Q2) in fiscal year 2019.  

Sonasoft Corp. Q2, 2019 unaudited revenue was $4,329,164, an increase of $2,375,422, or above 100 percent over the previous quarter, which exceeded guidance by 30 percent.  The company’s operating loss was $880,212, versus $605,377 in the previous calendar quarter and $117,573 for Q2 2018. The increase is due in part to a significant acquisition, integration, and legal expenses from its four acquisitions over the previous eight months, where the acquisition costs in Q2 for Hotify, Inc. alone came to $453,429.

The Q2 revenue from the Company's SonaVault enterprise information archiving and SonaSQL business continuity software division was $116,142. This amount was flat versus Q2 2018 and decreased by 14.4 percent from the previous calendar quarter because of the Company’s redirection to emphasize data engineering and AI services. 

Revenue from the Company's professional services engagements that involved data engineering and data migrations was significant at $881,330 for Q2 2019. This marked a nearly 100 percent increase from the previous calendar quarter, due to the acquisition of E-Connect Software.

Revenue from the Company's artificial intelligence (AI) professional services for Q2 was $419,160. This revenue is attributed to the Company's recent acquisition of E-Connect Software, Inc. where demand for these services is strong. The Company anticipates a significant portion of its revenue in the upcoming quarters to be attributed to its AI business.

The Company also expects that the business generated from its aforementioned AI professional services will lead to future sales of its artificial intelligence (AI) platform, NuGene.  NuGene revenue in Q2 was negligible, as it was primarily undergoing integration into Sonasoft following the closure of its acquisition. The Company has established several NuGene customer trials since the acquisition that are expected to result in new bookings in 2019.

“We have some forward-moving developments with our artificial intelligence products,” said Frank Velasquez, CEO of Sonasoft. “In Q4 of this year, we have targeted significant product enhancements and product releases that our customers have requested. We will soon offer an open API to our artificial intelligence platform, NuGene, that will empower nearly every application to be AI-enabled. Our aim is to AI-enable every business.”

“Our primary sales strategy for our AI platform is through OEM partnerships and independent software vendors (ISV’s), and we will also have a direct sales model where our specific AI products are available for key verticals,” continued Velasquez. “We offer our partners a simple way for their applications to be AI-enabled by plugging our AI into their applications and solutions.  We believe that this will be a fast route to seed the market with Sonasoft’s AI technology and obtain significant revenue.”

Sonasoft’s major accomplishments during Q2 2019 include:

• The completed acquisition of Hotify, Inc. that has intellectual property of a cloud-based and on-premise artificial intelligence (AI) platform
   
• An OEM agreement with Predikly that leverages Sonasoft’s AI and Predikly’s robotic process automation (RPA) to deliver intelligent process automation (IPA) solutions
   
• The completed acquisition of E-Connect Software, Inc., that offers lucrative AI and data engineering consulting services
   
• Several large sales wins with six-digit contracts that will be realized over the coming months
   
• A complete transformation of SonaVault Enterprise Information Archiving Solutions that includes: a fresh and intuitive user interface (UI) and functionality to archive beyond email and its attachments to now archive over 40 different data sources that include social media, e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc., chat apps, Skype, file share applications, collaboration tools such as Slack, Yammer, SharePoint, documents, Office 365, etc.

The Company also announces that it expects its Q3 2019 revenues to be approximately $4.3 million and has revised its previous fiscal year 2019 revenue guidance of $13 million upward to be between $13 million and $15 million. 

“We rolled up four companies in the last eight months and are gaining momentum,” said Frank Velasquez, CEO of Sonasoft. “Our synergies as a team began to drive optimal performance as soon as we consolidated our management into one office. At our core, we have quality people who know how to win, and we are already seeing our expansion strategy paying off.”
