Release Details

TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtract One Technologies Inc. (TSX: XTRA) (OTCQX: XTRAF) (FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) a leading technology-driven threat detection and security solution that prioritizes the patron access experience by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), today announced its annual results for the year ended July 31, 2024. All information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

“What a year it’s been! With record results across the board, we continue to make progress towards profitability through operational execution and higher top line growth,” stated Peter Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Xtract One. “Revenue for the year was $16.4 million – quadruple that of last year – while our combined backlog rose to $26.8 million, reflecting strong demand across all vertical markets. We’re positioning the Company for continued expansion going forward as we are seeing growing interest from all types of customers – stadiums and arenas to schools, business centers, and factories – putting us on track for even greater performance in fiscal 2025.”

“To add further momentum to this success, the recent introduction of Xtract One Gateway will significantly expand our addressable market, and win rate in those markets, by improving the Company’s competitive positioning. Xtract One Gateway will allow high-traffic facilities like schools, convention centers, and commercial properties to quickly screen patrons who may have laptops, tablets or other large metallic objects while still accurately detecting weapons. As the only product on the market with these capabilities, it’s clearly transformational for us and the industry.”
