SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - mCloud Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:MCLD) (TSXV:MCLD), ("mCloud" or the "Company") a leading provider of AI-powered asset management and Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") solutions today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 ("Q2 2022").

mCloud President and CEO Russ McMeekin commented on Q2 2022:

"Since the first quarter of 2022, we have made continuous progress in executing our growth plans – in particular, our efforts to deliver Digital Oilfield solutions, the commencement of our first oil and gas implementations in Saudi Arabia, and our rollout of EV charging optimization solutions at auto dealerships in New York and California. All our business segments are beginning to see a resurgence in engagement as our customers have transitioned out of pandemic restrictions. We remain on track to achieve our target of 90,000 connected asset and workers by the end of year."

"In the second quarter, we moved to optimize our financial and technology relationship with Agnity, transitioning the royalty agreement we have had with them since 2018 into a new licensing and technology continuation agreement, resulting in a US$5.96 million one-time payment made to us on July 29, 2022 and a $2.6 million one-time non-cash charge for balance sheet items and other adjustments to revenues in quarter."

"Progress is positive and continuous as we connect oilwells and deliver AssetCare Digital Oilfield solutions in the United States. Our first customers there are now in deployment and will soon see the direct benefits of our AI-driven connected asset and connected worker capabilities. In the Middle East, we have moved to commercial contracts and early-stage implementation efforts for AssetCare solutions at various sites in Saudi Arabia, leveraging our approved vendor status with Aramco. We plan to have a joint customer showcase of our AssetCare solutions with Aramco by December of this year.

"We are further engaged with other oil and gas, refining, and petrochemical customers in Saudi Arabia as we leverage the progress we have made in establishing a fully approved and stringently-compliant cloud presence in Saudi Arabia. From here, we expect major growth and scale in this region to the end of this year and beyond."

"We continue to grow our sales pipeline and advance auto dealership prospects to contracting for our AssetCare solutions related to EV charging optimization. Some issues were experienced in securing the required permitting and delivery of certain equipment to customers, but we expect these will be alleviated by September of this year keeping us on track to our target of 45 or more dealerships by year end. Activity has grown and scaled rapidly, and we are continually improving our internal operations to accelerate our ability to scale."

"Our AssetCare for Wind team, delivering vertical energy optimization solutions, especially in the EU, has embarked on customer engagements with wind owners and operators in the region as well as developing a go-to-market strategy with one of the world's largest wind turbine providers. This team is also set to have a presence at WindEnergy Hamburg 2022 in September."

"We are also very excited about the progress we are making in our Connected Buildings business with our announcement in July that we are bringing AssetCare to Mercedes Grand-Prix Limited at Brackley. This implementation is set to leverage all aspects of AssetCare including HVAC, indoor air quality, and industrial equipment mCloud is uniquely qualified to manage. In addition, this implementation builds on the success we have achieved in delivering excellent indoor air quality, energy optimization, and enterprise reporting capabilities in Canada and elsewhere around the world. We are also beginning to see growth and engagement in the UK and EU around our connected worker segment with AssetCare Mobile and 3D."

* Includes all required revenue adjustments due to transition of agreement with Agnity

On August 2, 2022, mCloud announced it had entered into a new technology continuation agreement with Agnity Global Inc. ("Agnity"), which resulted in the Company receiving a one-time US$5.96 million payment from Agnity on July 29, 2022, the exclusion of certain revenues, and a one-time adjustment that largely accounts for the net reduction in Q2 2022 revenues.

The timing of the Agnity transition required mCloud to exclude certain revenues in the AssetCare Initialization and AssetCare Solutions revenue categories. The net resulting impact was the reporting of negligible revenues per newly connected asset and lower recurring revenues per connection despite the Company's progress in adding new connected assets and workers and the ongoing delivery of AssetCare and related services. Going forward, mCloud will record AssetCare in both categories without any impacts, sharing, or adjustments.

The Company also recorded a one-time adjustment related to items from Agnity's balance sheet in prior periods. This culminated in a C$2.6 million decrease as a standalone adjustment in Q2 2022 revenues representing the full required adjustment across these prior periods.

The Company does not anticipate any further non-recurring, Agnity-related adjustments in the future. Additionally, the Company will no longer consolidate Agnity financial items such as revenues and expenses going forward. mCloud will continue to record direct revenues from customers benefiting from Agnity technology embedded in the Company's solutions but will not record any further Agnity-related items.

Without considering the one-time adjustment but reflecting the impact of the Agnity transition, Q2 2022 total revenues were C$4.9 million for the quarter compared to C$6.6 million in Q2 2021. After the one-time adjustment, Q2 2022 total revenues as reported were C$2.3 million. Gross margins were correspondingly impacted by the Agnity transition from a one-time passthrough of Agnity-related delivery expenses.

The Company added 2,921 new connected assets and workers in the quarter reaching a cumulative total of 67,471 connections. The Company noted that increased customer activity in the quarter and the retraction of many pandemic restrictions are expected to have a sustained positive impact on revenue growth going forward.
