Xigem Technologies Announces 58% Jump in Revenue and Gross Margin for Q1 2024 over Q1 2023
May 27, 2024
TORONTO, ON, May 27, 2024 – Xigem Technologies Corporation (“Xigem” or the “Company”) (CSE:XIGM; FSE:VZ6), today is pleased to advise that based on unaudited interim financial information for the period January 01 to March 31, 2024, the Company realised gross sales of $694,307 with net sales of $20,830 in its first fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with gross sales of $439,684 and net sales of $13,191 for its first fiscal quarter of 2023, representing an increase of approximately 58% in both cases. Further, the Company has reduced its net comprehensive loss in its first fiscal quarter of 2024 by 65.5% when also compared to the same period in 2023.
Xigem’s sales performance in its first quarter is attributable to its EchoDigital asset, which is currently employed with a dealer of used cars in the greater Toronto area. EchoDigital is a SaaS-based platform using a proprietary AI to seamlessly generate and convert leads from traditional sources. The EchoDigital AI assesses and qualifies leads and determines their psychological aptitude then matching them with the most suitable and qualified customer service/sales representative (“CSR”) to help complete the sale, all online. The Company intends to make EchoDigital available to other dealers of used cars in the near future.
Management believes that the Company’s EchoDigital asset looks to be very well situated in what The Brainy Insights describes as USD 3.3 Trillion market for used cars come 2032. A recent article published The Wall Street Journal, citing a report from McKinsey, says that used-car sales have moved online, and that 95% of used car searches begin online. The Wall Street Journal goes on to say that: “Data and analytics are helping to remove inefficiencies in a highly fragmented, historically opaque market. That is helping both sides leave less money on the table.” And further says that some used car dealers see about 55% of retail sales being driven using a combination of online and bricks and mortar interactions.
EchoDigital may be readily scalable, customizable and applicable to almost any CSR-dependent sales system in a range of industry verticals, and has likely application with the Company’s other technologies. The Company expects to work towards research, development and further commercialization of the EchoDigital asset.
