“This past quarter has seen Slyce continue to perform as the leading presence in the visual search industry,” said Mark Elfenbein, President and CEO of Slyce. “We are taking advantage of a highly engaged market of major brands seeking to capitalize on – and monetize – image-based mobile search. Slyce has demonstrated another impressive quarter in terms of contracting additional globally recognized brands, such as the largest global toys and baby products retailer, Toys”R”Us. Increasing revenue in the quarter reflects progress in the process of onboarding initial clients and commencing image-recognition services.
In addition to significant revenue growth, Slyce completed an $8.7 million equity financing, strengthening the company–s ability to execute on all business development opportunities and to develop and refine its visual search platform in order to continue delivering a market-leading product. The Company–s previously announced contract with a Fortune 50 retail customer has just launched on both iTunes and the Google Play store. Management anticipates a steady pipeline of new customer contracts during the remainder of 2015, generating increasing monthly recurring licensing revenues.”
