$GAXY Galaxy Next Generation Announces First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019 Technology Sales Up 117% Over Q4 Fiscal 2018Press Release | 11/20/2018
TOCCOA, Ga., Nov. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galaxy Next Generation, Inc. (OTCQB: GAXY) (“Galaxy”), a U.S. distributor of interactive learning technology hardware and software that create fully collaborative instructional environments, today announced its operating results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, ended September 30, 2018. The Company also reported a backlog of $358,000 and October 2018 revenue of $491,000, both of which point to strong growth in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Technology sales increased 117% to $351,545 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, up from $161,927 in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
“We’re pleased to report a strong start to the fiscal year,” stated founder and CEO Gary LeCroy. “While gross margins in the first quarter were 13.4%, if we factor in our accounts receivables balance, back orders, and strengthening sales since the quarter close, gross margins are closer to our target range of 35%. In fact, we’re now tracking positive EBITDA for the year through the end of October and remain confident this will translate to positive net income for the full fiscal year as sales continue to accelerate.”
The global education technology market surpassed $17.7 billion in sales in 2017 and is expected to grow to $40.9 billion, an 18.3% CAGR, by 2022.
