Looking forward

Commenting on the future outlook of the company, Ghauri noted: “We continued to invest in the growth of our business throughout the fiscal year. We increased our investments in sales and marketing in support of our long-term goals and are intently focused on the development of new products and services that expand our total addressable market. Moreover, we remain committed to the innovation and integration of cutting-edge AI solutions into our business processes and our products and offerings.

“As a global company, our presence across key markets is a major focus. We performed well in our established markets during the fiscal year, signing a healthy mix of both new agreements and extensions with existing customers that include tier one automakers, banks, and financial services providers throughout Asia Pacific and Europe,” Mr. Ghauri added.

“These longstanding partnerships are especially encouraging as they represent the stickiness of our customer base and validate the performance and reliability of our products. Our presence in the United States is still nascent but exhibiting strong signs of early growth, and we have a healthy and expanding pipeline of activity as we continue to establish NETSOL in this region.”

Roger Almond, CFO of NETSOL, added: “We believe that we’re still only in the beginning stages of our renewed growth and anticipate double digit revenue improvement in fiscal 2025 driven by enhanced sales and market recognition of our products and services. As we look ahead, we remain committed to executing on our growth strategy while carefully managing costs to deliver sustainable, profitable growth for our shareholders.”
