This Form 10-Q covers the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025. FatPipe Inc. is a developer of enterprise-class, application-aware, secure software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solutions, including SASE and network monitoring services.

During this quarter, the company completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in April 2025, transitioning to a public entity listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased by 5.0% ($185,604) year-over-year. Product revenue grew 16.2%, while consulting revenue declined 24.0% due to the timing of engagements.
• Profitability: Net income attributable to stockholders rose 18.5% to $741,195. Gross margin expanded to 94% from 92%, driven by lower hardware costs and higher revenue mix.
• Liquidity Transformation: Cash balances increased by $2.99 million, primarily due to net proceeds of approximately $3.78 million from the April 2025 IPO. This contrasts with a cash burn of $344,676 in the prior year period.
• Debt Restructuring: In March 2025, the company secured a $5 million term loan from Fortis Bank to refinance existing debt. The new loan carries an interest rate of Prime + 1% (8.75% at reporting date) and is repayable over 120 months.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses increased by 3.8% to $2.71 million, with increases in Sales & Marketing (3.6%) and Product Development (12.0%) attributed to post-IPO expansion efforts.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Capital Resources: Management states it has sufficient funding for the next 12 months, relying on operating cash flows and IPO proceeds. The company expects to pay income taxes in the future as it exhausts Net Operating Losses.
• Market Expansion: The company plans to expand in North America, Mexico, and Southeast Asia, offering geography-specific software bundles. It anticipates lower gross margins in cost-sensitive regions like India, offset by lower operational costs.
• Customer Concentration: Three major partners accounted for 43.51% of revenue in Q1 2025 (down from 54.11% in Q1 2024). Partner A alone contributed 38.00% of total revenue.
• Risk Factors: Key risks include market acceptance of SD-WAN solutions, competition, reliance on key customers, and cybersecurity threats. The company is classified as an "Emerging Growth Company" and a "Smaller Reporting Company," allowing for reduced disclosure obligations.
• Unusual Items: The quarter includes significant non-cash adjustments related to the IPO, including the issuance of 800,004 shares and the elimination of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Revenue Recognition Policy: Verify the impact of recognizing software license revenue at a point-in-time versus service revenue over time, which creates significant "Contracts Receivable" balances ($18.2M total).
• Customer Concentration: Assess the risk associated with Partner A contributing 38% of revenue and the potential impact of losing this relationship.
• Debt Covenants: Review the terms of the new Fortis Bank loan, which is secured by substantially all company assets and includes personal guarantees from directors.
• Operating Cash Flow: Note that despite net income of $741k, operating cash flow was negative ($508k) due to increases in contract receivables and working capital needs.
• Intangible Assets: Confirm the valuation and amortization schedule of intangible assets ($964k net), which consist primarily of patent legal costs.
