Achievements

" During this fourth quarter, the Company successfully managed to recover from the temporary but significant decrease in its revenues caused by the social distancing measures related to the Covid-19 crisis.  By mid-July, we have started observing an increase in our year-over-year SaaS revenue growth even though many social distancing measures were still in place across North America. In a challenging year, we managed to beat all last year key metrics whether in terms of GMV, revenues, gross margin, EBITDA, cash flows from operations or working capital. Those results speak by themselves by sending a strong signal that our virtual solutions, such as our immersive 3D tours, are well positioned to benefit from those permanent changes happening in the real estate market and with consumer behaviors. Moreover, we have only started charging customers for our new immersive 3D tours and floorplans services in late September paving the way for additional growth drivers in the upcoming quarters. We also expect strong 3D camera sales to fuel SaaS revenue growth in the future”, said Simon Bedard, CFO of Urbanimmersive.

“In this quarter, we have worked hard to deliver to our customers our new floorplans and measurements services which were launched as a premium service in September along with our immersive 3D tours. With Urbanimmersive now able to offer this unique and full set of marketing solutions to its customers at a very competitive and sustainable price point and our solid financial situation, we expect now to accentuate our sales and marketing efforts and are very excited about the near future of Urbanimmersive and its growth potential ", said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.
