GLOSSARY:
FY24 TCV is a metric that combines all contracts, including subscription and maintenance packages, that the Company expects to convert into revenue (or a percentage thereof) during the fiscal year, subject to audit review. The Company notes that quarterly cash receipts may vary depending on the solution and/or service provided to the end customer, and any individual material contract award will be separately announced to the market as applicable. Furthermore, the Company notes that most of its current revenue-generating activities still depend on upfront and implementation fees (in addition to a recurring revenue component). Therefore, cash receipts and TCV metrics can significantly vary each period, while organically growing on a full fiscal year basis. The final revenue figure for FY24 is subject to audit review.
INTEGRATEDXR[] is the Company’s solutions and service suite, from Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies to Metaverse, ICT Infrastructure and devices, Kiosks, 3D Modeling and Rendering services and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Vection Technologies seeks to help businesses bridge the physical and digital worlds, through a unique INTEGRATEDXR[] experience.
