Management Commentary
"The company's second quarter was highlighted by additional partnerships and the joining of industry experts to expand its sales channels significantly," noted Kai-Shing Tao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Remark Holdings. "Our unique value proposition and the innovation inherent in our AI solutions continued to satisfy the different needs of our customers. Looking ahead, we are building a pipeline of opportunities across the U.S. with our SSP-based products with a new streaming fee model and are continuing to advance our deployment activities in China. Taken together, we believe these activities lay the groundwork for continued momentum across our businesses as we seek to deliver first-class AI solutions to our customers."
Second Quarter 2022 Business Highlights
•During the second quarter, Remark continued to build its data intelligence business using its Smart Safety Platform ("SSP") and related Smart Sentry units that work with the SSP. Based on initial trial success, the company is building a stream of business opportunities with government agencies, public transportation operators, railways, and sports arenas.
•China Mobile continued to implement Remark's KanKan AI Platform and Smart Queueing System throughout their retail locations, although the pace of implementation has been significantly slowed due to ongoing lockdowns and measures taken by the Chinese government to achieve a zero-COVID status.
•During the second quarter, Smart Campus solutions were deployed across more than 60 campuses bringing total installations to more than 460 campuses. New functions of the Smart Campus solutions provided a leading management platform for student development, providing a rich set of scenario-based software and AIoT tools for school administrators and families to assemble comprehensive student profiles targeting individual growth.
•Remark's Smart Construction solutions contributed $1.1 million of revenue as the company completed installations at 14 construction sites, bringing total installations to 67 sites and, thereby, not only completing the initial contract but also securing and partially fulfilling additional contracts on more construction sites.
Fiscal Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
•Revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2022 totaled $2.6 million, down from $4.0 million during the fiscal second quarter of 2021.
◦Revenue contributed by Remark's U.S. businesses decreased by approximately $2.5, primarily as a result of $2.3 million of revenue recorded on an AI data intelligence services project for a daily fantasy sports client in the second quarter of 2021 that was not repeated in the current year period.
◦Revenue from China grew by $1.0 million to $2.5 million due to the completion of larger projects in the current-year period, including continued deployment of smart banking systems, Smart Campus deployments at schools, as well as construction projects.
•Gross profit decreased $1.1 million quarter over quarter to $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2022. The overall gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 27.8%, compared to 43.9% in the same period in 2021.
•The company incurred an operating loss of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million in the comparable quarter of 2021.
•Net loss totaled $12.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
•On June 30, 2022, the cash balance totaled $1.1 million, compared to a cash balance of $14.2 million on December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities was $11.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
