• Recurring billings increased 55% year over year, with management attributing the sequential rise to new business, larger deployments, and renewals. The $7 million education contract is contributing about $300,000 per quarter at its current pace, with a higher full run rate expected.
• The company introduced Constellation, a network-monitoring product available on-premises or in the cloud, either independently or alongside FatPipe’s other offerings. Management said orders have begun and described it as an easier sale than cybersecurity products that may require customers to replace existing systems.
• Management said FatPipe broke even in October and aims to sustain positive cash flow, while noting that hardware purchases and sales-force expansion will require resources. It also refinanced an SBA loan at a lower rate and secured a $1.5 million credit line.
• Management said SATBoost has not gained traction as quickly as hoped, though it recently saw more interest from customers adding satellite service to terrestrial networks. The company plans to expand its sales force to 36 by fiscal year-end and 48 the following year; new salespeople typically take three to six months to reach break-even, and longer for larger deals.
