ProntoForms Corporation (TSXV: PFM), the global leader in field intelligence, announced today its first quarter (Q1) financial results for the period ended March 31, 2023. All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

Our growth rate of annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) over prior year comparable quarters accelerated for the third quarter in a row to reach 13%, and 14% for total revenue, despite bookings that were relatively light for Q1 with no significant new enterprise wins,” said Philip Deck, co-CEO. “During the first quarter we made meaningful changes to our entire go-to-market strategy and organization, emphasising our positioning as an enterprise field intelligence platform and focusing our rapidly maturing sales force on the most compelling customer opportunities. The changes came with significant one-time expenses from legal and severance costs that affected first quarter profitability. Additional one-time costs will continue at a lower level into Q2 of this year. We are carefully managing our go-to-market investments within our commitment to make steady improvements in profitability.”

Mr. Deck continued, “After the end of Q1, we announced the largest initial subscription transaction in our company history with average ARR of $880,000 annually over the next 3.5 years. The transaction was for the automation of highly-sophisticated field installation processes in the medical equipment industry—one of our key verticals. In addition to its impacts on ARR growth, it further demonstrates the size of the market that we are pursuing and our ability to prove value even in a challenging environment for enterprise sales. We are pursuing numerous additional opportunities in our key vertical markets to continue to accelerate our ARR growth in the quarters to come.”

“The recent release of the Multi-Language Add-On exemplifies the company's ongoing commitment to addressing the needs of diverse and globally distributed field organizations,” said Alvaro Pombo, co-CEO and Founder. “Our pipeline of targeted innovation accelerates revenue growth within our base, while improving our effectiveness of generating new customers.”
