January 30, 2024 – Vancouver, Canada – Turnium Technology Group Inc. (TSX.V: TTGI) (FSE: E48) (“Turnium” or “the Company”), an industry leader in software-defined wide area networking solutions (SD-WAN), is pleased to announce its financial results for the 2023 fiscal year. All financial information is provided in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended September 30, 2023, are available on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
“Turnium generated $5.2 million in revenue, a slight year-over-year increase compared to fiscal 2022. We grew our SaaS revenue by 3.2% year-over-year, despite the capital constraints we encountered throughout most of the year which delayed the release of our next generation V7 SD-WAN platform. Additionally in fiscal 2023, our team implemented numerous cost cutting initiatives and efficiency improvements which directly translated into annual cost savings of approximately $1.0 million. We also raised new capital to fully retire and discharge the Firepower Secured Loan, and also entered into a strategic transaction (non-binding merger letter of intent) with Activeport (ASX: ATV). Our team remains focused on executing on its strategy of growing its sales pipeline, as part of the release of our V7 platform during the 2024 fiscal year. The successes we saw in the last fiscal quarter should start generating revenue and gross margin growth as we move forward,” commented Turnium CEO Derek Spratt.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights:
- Revenue in the fourth quarter was $1.26 million, compared to $1.37 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022;
- Gross Margin in the fourth quarter was $0.87 million, compared to $1.04 million in the fourth quarter of 2022;

Special Notes:
It is anticipated that revenues and expenses may vary, perhaps materially, from quarter to quarter due to several factors, including changes in product mix, costs related to planned increase in market share, global expansion costs and ongoing corporate development initiatives. Although revenues may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and such fluctuations may be material, management expects that revenues will increase year over year.
There are no known trends or seasonal impacts on the Company’s business although seasonal trends may develop as
the Company grows.
