    John Hyde's questions to Xtract One Technologies Inc. (XTRAF) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    John Hyde from Strategic Investing Channel asked for clarification on how the company achieved an impressive 70% gross margin, especially with nearly half of the revenue coming from channel partners. He also questioned if the quarter-over-quarter doubling of inventory was in preparation for new installations or a strategic move to stock up ahead of potential tariffs.

    Answer

    CEO Peter Evans explained that the high gross margin was a result of internal cost management and a value-based selling strategy, noting that customers are focused on the solution's security value, not price, which allows for healthy margins for both Xtract One and its partners. He clarified that the inventory increase was a point-in-time snapshot reflecting the production ramp-up for the new One Gateway and fulfilling the existing SmartGateway backlog, rather than a fundamental change in inventory strategy.
