TORONTO, July 27, 2021 — ARHT Media Inc. (“ARHT” or “the Company”) (TSXV:ART), the global leader in the development, production and distribution of high-quality, low latency hologram and digital content, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Update

  • Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.28 million (before loss on debenture repayment of $298k), compared to $560 thousand for the same period in 2020;
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $4.17 million as of June 30, 2021

Second Quarter 2021 Business Updates

  • The Company continued to build out its recurring revenue business with the permanent installation of three HoloPod™ solutions, the addition of four large new clients – representing potential for recurring business – and 85% of Q2 revenue derived from repeat clients
  • ARHT reached record demand in June, reigning in a total of 14 Virtual Global Stage™ presentations, 2 HoloPresence™ presentations, and 4 Hardware Sales Transactions in Q2
  • The Company progressed its previously announced strategic partnership with WeWork as the first installations are underway, and one more location was added in the initial phase of rollouts, totaling 17 expected office installations in 2021
  • ARHT leveraged its Dubai distributor, NMK Electronics, to introduce its innovative holographic technology in the Middle East, with its HoloPresence™ solution featured during the Arab Health 2021 Conference
  • The Company brought its HoloPresence™ Technology to the Jeju Peace Forum for the former President of France, Francois Hollande, adding to the growing list of heads and state government leaders that have taken advantage of ARHT’s holographic presentation technology

“We achieved record revenue growth of 393% in the first half of the year driven by our ability to generate repeat sales from existing clients and add new customers, positioning us ahead of our 2019 trajectory and back towards growth following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Especially encouraging was the fact that 85% of revenue came from repeat and recurring clients – which demonstrates the “stickiness’ of our offering,” commented Larry O’Reilly Chief Executive Officer of ARHT Media. “In addition, we have started installations with our WeWork partnership which will build the world’s first HoloPresence network. We are budgeting $2 million in revenue in 2022 from these first 17 locations plus this network will be of tremendous benefit to our other permanent installed locations and event activations. We expect the second half of 2021 to continue along our growth trend with increasingly more demand for recurring revenue products such as our HoloPod™, where we permanently install the technology which generate transmission and maintenance fees on an annual basis.”
