Commenting on the December 2019 quarter, Jaxsta CEO and Co-Founder, Jacqui Louez Schoorl said, “With the launch of our new business-to-business product Jaxsta Pro[Beta] in late November, this quarter marked a new revenue generating phase for the Company.

“Our early adopters have provided positive feedback and recommendations on the product which we continue to integrate into our professional offering as we roll out successive updates. Early adoption rates alongside the recent APRA AMCOS agreement provide a solid base of engaged users for Jaxsta to continue to build on. We are focused on growing our target market through ongoing marketing and education.”

Key operational metrics

  • Jaxsta’s database now provides more than 100 million official credits to over 22 million unique recordings, 1.8 million artists and 400,000 producers and engineers

  • 32 data partners including Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music, Warner Bros Music and Merlin (the independents’ digital music agency which represents tens of thousands of record labels from 63 countries) covering ~90% of the world’s music market[2]

  • Strong alignment with major data partners making up ~2% total equity holdings in Jaxsta

  • Renewed data licensing agreement[3 ] with The Recording Academy

Jacqui Louis Schoorl, CEO and Co-Founder, stated, “Our relationship with The Recording Academy is a good example of how our multi-channel strategy of partnerships across fragmented parts of the global music industry creates enormous scale and value when music credit data is collated by Jaxsta. The Recording Academy is the leading organisation in the global music industry that represents performers, songwriters, producers and engineers – everyone who creates the music we love.

This complements our relationships with performing rights organisations such as APRA AMCOS, and companies like Warner, Universal or Sony that release and distribute music, where the focus is more on crediting and royalties, so that

everyone involved across the creative, production and distribution process is more transparently attributed. ”

Financial update

As noted, Jaxsta’s current cash position stands at $3.8million. This cash position includes the $2.7 million proceeds from the placement and post quarter end receipt of $340,000 being advance funding received in January 2020 pursuant to a limited recourse loan secured against the Company’s anticipated FY2020 research and development tax concession. Additionally, the Company expects to receive the final payment of the proceeds from its sale of Marine Rescue Technologies Limited on 31 March 2020. The Company is currently assessing further capital management options to secure the capital required as the Company starts to deliver on revenue generation.

December’s placement proceeds will be used to enhance and promote the Jaxsta Pro subscription service and to accelerate the launch of Jaxsta’s suite of big data solutions (aka Jaxsta’s commercial APIs) that are part of the Company’s long-term business plan. Specifically, the funds will primarily be used for:

  • Sales, marketing and promotional activities supporting the launch and early adoption of Jaxsta Pro

  • Continued systems and platform development of the suite of tools available within Jaxsta Pro

  • Development and deployment of Jaxsta’s big data solutions

  • Working capital including corporate administration

Outlook

“Over this quarter we have delivered on our first revenue generating product, raised additional capital to provide further runway for the business and demonstrated the capability of our bespoke big data solutions as an official partner with The Recording Academy. We will continue to actively engage with key industry stakeholders, and further refine our platform to optimise the end user experience.

Additionally, we are grateful for the ongoing support of our shareholders, partners and team. We are excited about what the next few months hold for Jaxsta as we move to take Jaxsta Pro out of beta and continue to explore, and work to quantify, the opportunities in the commercial API space,” said Ms Louez Schoorl.

ABOUT JAXSTA

Jaxsta is the music industry’s global music technology company using data to solve an industry-wide need for official data.

The go-to authoritative source of music information, Jaxsta is collecting music metadata from major and independent record labels, publishers, royalty agencies and industry associations across the globe. The data is de-duplicated, cross-referenced, deep-linked and then made available online within a multi-functional, ever-evolving platform.

The Company’s core platform, Jaxsta.com, is live and its B2B subscription-based service, Jaxsta Pro[Beta] , launched in November 2019. Jaxsta Pro[Beta] includes features only available to paid users. The Company’s head office is in Sydney, with representatives in New York, London and Los Angeles.
