Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution vs timing: Operational KPIs (starts/completions) are accelerating, but revenue conversion lagged in Q2 due to QID ramp delays—watch H2 conversion of deferred revenue and MTSA billing .
- Cost actions are sticking: SG&A down ~33% YoY and Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 42%—continued discipline is central to path toward breakeven .
- Liquidity watch: Cash $0.292M and going concern disclosure; post-quarter ATM and $2.21M secured note extend runway but add redemption/exit fee obligations—monitor financing cadence and mandatory prepay triggers .
- Customer concentration and mix: S&P 500 bank and QID accounted for ~84% of Q2 revenue; reduced Mastercard license fees shift mix toward services—scale with FIS and new customers is key .
- Strategic optionality: Ghana NIA MoU, APAC expansion (K-Startup), and age verification solution broaden the pipeline; proof points and contract conversion will be catalysts .
- Near-term trading: Expect stock to react to H2 revenue cadence (conversion of deferred/QID ramp), financing updates under ATM/note, and customer wins; thin estimate coverage can amplify beats/misses*.
