High Wire Networks Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results


Fourth Straight Quarter of Growth

BATAVIA, Ill., Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  High Wire Networks Inc. (the “Company” or "High Wire") (OTCQB: HWNI), today announced its financial results for Q2 ended June 30, 2022.

Summary:

  • Revenue was $13.7 million and increased 44% YOY on a proforma basis
  • Net income was approximately $5.4 million
  • Four quarters in a row of strong proforma revenue growth YOY: +20%, +40%, +80%, and +40%
  • We ended Q2 with nearly 600 paying Overwatch clients and growth accelerating
  • Overwatch Managed Security revenue increased roughly 316% from June ’21 to June ‘22

For the quarter, High Wire posted $13.7 million in revenue against a pro forma $9.55 million in the second quarter of 2021. Net income was $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 versus a net loss of over $2.25 million in second quarter of 2021.

We saw growth in just about every aspect of our business in the quarter.  Our Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) growth continues to accelerate and our Total Contract Value (TCV) bookings growth for the quarter was outstanding. Our program and project backlog and funnel both grew significantly. We made significant investments in our future this quarter around scalability, consistency, and profitability. Our corporate costs from strategic activities remain on the high side as we focus on our strategic plan.

“The goal for second quarter is always to set up the back half of the year for success, and we have done that this quarter,” said High Wire CEO Mark Porter. “In addition to posting another quarter of revenue growth in the face of market instability and continued supply chain challenges in technology we grew our revenue and all key performance indicators for the remainder of the year are positive.”

Porter continued, “We continue to focus on the long-term targets for the business while looking at ways to tackle the foundational elements that traditionally hampered growth and innovation.  We talked a lot in the past about going faster, and we believe that this quarter set us up well for that.”
