Q4 2023 KORE Group Holdings Inc Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- KORE fourth quarter revenue of $72.4 million increased 16% year-over-year, driven by an acceleration in high-margin IoT connectivity.
- KORE launched a pioneering eSIM powered medical alert device, showcasing innovation and addressing societal challenges with IoT.
- Recognition from industry analysts, including Gartner, for managed IoT connectivity services, reinforcing KORE's market leadership.

- KORE's sales pipeline includes over 1,600 opportunities with an estimated potential TCV of approximately $545 million, indicating strong future growth potential.
- A decline in low margin IoT Solutions revenue partially offset the growth in IoT connectivity.
- Unexpected customer order deferrals in Q4, including from KORE's largest customers, impacted financial results.
- The company decided to reduce exposure to low margin hardware revenue, resulting in a reduction in TCV pipeline and lower projection of IoT Solutions revenue in 2024.

- Net loss in the fourth quarter was $33.7 million compared to $69.6 million in the prior year, although the decline was mainly due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in Q4 2022.
