The Loop 4G safety smartwatch is the Company’s second hardware launch in calendar 2023. It represents another significant deliverable in Spacetalk’s growth strategy, which is premised on the creation of a broad-based product ecosystem that meets the needs of families at every life stage.

Loop is expected to materially increase Spacetalk’s revenue base

The release of the Loop 4G smartwatch represents another deliverable in Spacetalk’s stated strategy of providing an ecosystem of products that materially enhances family safety (and peace of mind that comes with it) across every stage of life.

Loop meets a central part of this growth strategy, which is the creation of recurring software and Spacetalk Mobile (Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO)) revenue stream. It comes with a pre-loaded SIM. Loop is additionally soft locked to the Spacetalk Mobile network, meaning it has a Spacetalk SIM pre-installed.

Aided by this set up, Loop is expected to provide a material boost to Spacetalk’s revenue and gross profit and take the Company a step closer to achieving its goal of boosting the uptake rate of its Spacetalk Mobile MVNO services. The soft lock will drive significant growth in MVNO annual recurring revenue (ARR). The additional sales volume flowing from Loop’s launch will drive margin from the Company’s device offerings, and is also expected to bolster ARR from the Spacetalk App.

Taken together, these revenue gains will help Spacetalk move ever closer to its stated target of $20m$25M of ARR within the next three years.

Spacetalk Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther, said:

“We continue to execute on our strategy and The Loop 4G safety smartwatch is our second new hardware launch in calendar 2023. The timing is important for the upcoming holiday period and its comprehensive safety features will make it a great gift for kids. Loop is an important next step in the development of our ecosystem and will drive continued growth of Spacetalk Mobile subscriptions.”.
