Managed Services revenues continue to grow at a rapid clip and we expect to accomplish our next milestone of over 1000 paying end clients by mid-year, rather than end of year. Our average revenue per user continues to grow, and our churn is exceptionally low.
“This quarter’s performance only solidifies the fact we are hitting the expected milestones to achieve both our short-term and long-term strategy laid out over the last 12 months,” said High Wire CEO Mark Porter. “Revenue growth for Q2 and the remainder of this year remains on track, and we expect it will take us to our goal of operational profitability and positive cash flow.”
Porter continued, “We see continued growth in revenue, funnel, and client acquisition in both our technology and managed service segments. With these goals achieved, we have begun the process of restructuring our debt to more favorable terms for the Company, that will allow us to continue our trajectory without the burdensome debt covenants that have been a challenge to navigate.”
