Martello's Q2 fiscal 2020 financial results will be released on November 20, 2019.
On September 27, 2019, Martello announced the closing of a $4.6 million overnight marketed public offering of 15,333,332 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.30 per Common Share. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to identify and fund acquisitions, accelerate R&D activities, increase sales capacity and for general corporate purposes.
Growth Strategy
Martello continues to execute on its 'build and buy' growth strategy, with the objective of incrementally growing revenues both organically and through acquisitions. The Company's technology stack continues to expand through acquisitions, and with 81% of revenues recurring in the last twelve months, gross margins over 90% and thousands of customers around the world using Martello's products, the Company believes it has a strong foundation from which to drive business in new and existing sales channels.
Martello's organic growth plan includes strategies that will accelerate growth of existing product lines, as well as the development of new solutions. These new solutions will leverage Martello's current technology stack to optimize performance management for real-time enterprise applications such as unified communications. At the same time, Martello continues to pursue acquisitions, and is in early stage talks with a short list of targets whose technology, channel and expertise have been identified by management as potentially accretive to the Company's mission to clarify and control complex IT environments. There is no guarantee that an acquisition will occur in the near future.
Partnerships
Martello is focused on increasing the proportion of its revenue that is recurring across all lines of business and incrementally growing this revenue base. Together with the Company's high gross margins, management believes that this provides greater stability, predictability and downside protection.
The growth of strategic partnerships is helping to drive Martello's recurring revenue stream. The Company's 10 year partnership with Mitel has yielded more than one million users monitored by Martello's software in Mitel's global network operations center (NOC). This demonstrates the operational value of Martello's software for managed service providers.
Martello announced in July that it has teamed with Paessler AG, a German headquartered company, to offer a solution that addresses the growing demand from large enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) globally, to simplify IT service assurance.
Martello is focused on activities that will grow and develop its channel of service providers, value added resellers and MSPs. Early adopter 4Sight Communications in the UK recently noted it had achieved a 98% remote fix rate after standardizing on Martello's UC performance analytics software.
In addition, global expansion continues to create diversity in the Company's revenue stream, with Martello products now deployed in more than 175 countries around the world. Martello has expanded revenue in Europe by more than 300% (Q1 F2019 to Q1 F2020) and is focused on developing the Middle East market. Sales and marketing efforts in the Middle East this quarter include industry trade shows in hospitality and other markets, and a sales mission to meet partners and potential clients in the region.
Recognition
Martello's growing position as a Canadian technology leader has been recognized by the industry. In September, the Company placed No. 206 on the inaugural Globe and Mail Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies, which ranks Canadian Companies on three-year revenue growth. Martello also earned a spot on the Growth 500 in September for the third consecutive year, taking the No. 46 rank on the list of the top 500 Canadian companies with five-year revenue growth of 1,692%. In June of 2019, Martello moved up 20 spots on the widely respected Branham300 listing of Canada's top ICT (Information and Communications Technology) companies.
