Business Commentary:

* Revenue Growth and Spin-off Strategy: - The Glimpse Group reported fiscal year 2025 revenue of approximately $10.5 million, an increase of approximately 20% compared to fiscal year 2024. - The growth was driven by an increase in Spatial Core revenues and cash flow neutrality, leading to the strategic decision to spin off Brightline Interactive, a subsidiary specializing in AI-driven immersive technology.

• Brightline Interactive's Expansion:
• Brightline achieved several critical milestones in fiscal year 2025, including a $4-plus million initial contract and a $2-plus million Spatial Core contract with DoD entities.

• The expansion was due to the development of advanced spatial computing and AI-driven operational simulation solutions, enhancing mission readiness and training capabilities.

• Improved Financial Performance:

• The company reported a net operating cash loss in fiscal year 2025 of approximately negative $0.27 million, compared to a net operating cash loss of approximately negative $5.2 million in 2024.

• This improvement was attributed to significant reorganization efforts, cost reductions, revenue growth, and maintenance of high gross margins.

• Market Opportunities and Strategic Focus:

• Brightline's opportunities are primarily in defense and defense-related industries, with potential expansion into enterprise big data segments like oil and gas, aviation, and tech.
• The strategic focus on these segments is aimed at leveraging Spatial Core's capabilities and technology to drive growth in both government and enterprise markets.

Sentiment Analysis:

• Management highlighted a return to revenue growth (FY25 up ~20%), strong Q4 acceleration, sustained high gross margins (~67.5%), cash flow neutrality for the first time, and significant new DOW-related contracts (including a $4M+ initial contract and a $2M+ Spatial Core award). They guided FY26 revenue above FY25 and outlined a BLI spin-out to unlock value, signaling confidence despite expected quarter-to-quarter variability.
