Highlights include a Company quarterly revenue record of $10,734 ,515 in Q1 2022, up from $2,772 ,834 in Q1 2021, representing 287.13% year-over-year growth. All revenue growth was organic. The Company also reported a record Gross Merchandize Value i of $19,465 ,606 in Q1 2022, up from $13,027 ,766 during Q1 2021, representing 49.42% growth. STEER's electric vehicle subscription revenues grew to $758 ,102 in Q1 2022, up from $596 ,713 in Q1 2021 while STEER's on-demand revenues grew to $9,976,413 , up from $2,176 ,121 in Q1 Fiscal 2021. Net loss was $8,182,039 (of which 4,950,979 was cash used in operating activities) compared to $5,630,405 (of which 4,791,658 was cash used in operating activities) in Q1 2021. Revenue has grown 287.13% (year-over-year) while net loss has grown at a lesser pace of 45% (year-over-year). As a result, the Company's Management is confident that the streamlining measures undertaken in early 2022 including: (i) operational realignment (with a view to centralizing and consolidating resources and focusing on selling Subscription and On-demand offerings); and (ii) continued improvements in expense management, will continue to result in increased operational efficiency. As such, Steer is experiencing revenue growth at a faster pace than the corresponding increase in operational expenses. The Company expects this trend to further strengthen in fiscal 2022.

"2022 has been off to a strong start. In Q1 2022, we have nearly quadrupled revenues as compared to Q1 2021, and continue to curtail operating costs which is a signal of significant growth while increasing operational efficiencies in the Company. Our focus on building On-Demand and Subscription offerings and significant investments  to align operations with this focus have resulted in solid top-line growth and simultaneous  efficiencies in operating costs.

 

The platform we have built has demonstrated that we can increase revenues significantly while managing costs, which is evident in our Q1 results. All our growth has been organic, which further evidences STEER's strength. Based on the investments we have made in our team and operations, STEER is well-positioned to take advantage of the burgeoning demand in the Delivery as a Services (" DaaS ") sector. Our analytics capabilities also continue to improve, providing strategic advantages across our operational footprint. In addition, we continue to extend our ESG mandate throughout our business processes, making us a desirable business partner for other responsible corporations", said Suman Pushparajah , Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

  About the Company  
 

STEER is an integrated ESG technology platform that moves people and delivers things through subscription and on-demand services. The Company's goal is to build a one-of-a-kind system that aggregates conscientious users, through a series of connected offerings, and enables them to buy, sell, or invest with the same platform, STEER. The Company's offerings generally fall into two categories: subscription-based offerings led by its flagship electric vehicle subscription business, Steer EV, and on-demand services incorporating delivery, B2B marketplace, Delivery-as-a-Service (DaaS) and rideshare businesses. The Company's platform is also powered by EcoCRED, its big data, analytics and machine learning engine which seeks to capture, analyse, parse and report on key data points in ways that measure the Company's impact on carbon reductions and offsets.

  " Gross Merchandise Value " (GMV) means the total value of all merchandise and services sold over a given period of time through the Company's ESG platform of product and services offerings.  Gross Merchandise Value is a metric most commonly used by e-commerce companies.  It is intended to measure of the growth of the business or use of a platform to sell merchandise and services, some or all of which may be owned by others and is therefore not all revenue to the platform owner or provider (such as the Company). In the Company's case, GMV includes the value of the food and merchandise ordered and the gross fees charged by the Company to customers on account of rides and deliveries, a substantial portion of which the Company does not recognize as revenue. The most directly comparably or correlated GAAP financial measure in the context of our Company is revenue which, for Q1 2022 was $10,734,515 and $2,772,834 in Q1 2021. Note that GMV is a non-GAAP financial measure, meaning that it is not a standardized financial measure under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the Company's financial statements and it might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.
