FingerMotion's decrease in revenue of $3.8 million, or 31%, compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023, resulted from an increase in revenue of $8.16 million from its SMS & MMS business, offset by decreases in revenue of $11.80 million and $.15 million from its Telecommunication Products & Services and Big Data businesses, respectively. The Company's SMS & MMS business saw a significant revenue increase due to the strategic reallocation of resources to this segment, allowing FingerMotion to capitalize on higher margins and improved profitability. This strategic shift reflects the Company's focus on optimizing its business portfolio by prioritizing higher-margin segments, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in revenue from its Telecommunication Products & Services business.
"Our Company again experienced a challenging market during Q1 2025," said CEO, Martin Shen. "Despite these challenges, however, during Q1 2025, our gross profit improved $.02 million, or 3%, and our cost of revenue decreased $3.81 million, or 33%, compared to Q1 2024."
"Looking forward, we see several drivers for improving revenue this fiscal year, including arrangements that could result in significantly increased use of our Da Ge app, which already has 650,000 active subscribers," said Martin Shen. "We also continued to invest in the future with our Insuretec partners, and our Sapientus big data platform has made additional progress on several fronts, including market implementation, analytical advancement, and network engagement."
"We also expect both our cloud-based services and lifestyle app to contribute meaningful revenue later this fiscal year."
"Therefore, we expect the balance of fiscal 2025 to demonstrate increasing revenue and improved margins to get us closer to our goal of profitability."
General and administrative expenses in Q1 2025 increased by $519,787 or 38%, which was a result of increases in a range of costs integral to the ongoing operational and administrative requirements necessary to support the Company's growth and ongoing operational needs. Research and development expenses increased to $178,993 during the quarter, which was 4% higher due to the data access and usage fees charged by our telecommunications companies.
