Insights

The Q2 FY2025 results reveal significant challenges for Netcapital, with a concerning 92% year-over-year revenue decline to just $170,528. The shift from an operating income of $52,220 to a substantial loss of $2.2M signals severe operational difficulties. While the 20% sequential revenue growth is noted, it's from a very low base. The company's cash position of $1.3M raises liquidity concerns given the current burn rate. The newly acquired FINRA broker-dealer license presents potential revenue diversification opportunities through Reg A and Reg D offerings, but meaningful revenue generation remains uncertain in the near term. The dramatic swing to a loss per share of $2.34 from positive EPS of $2.52 year-over-year reflects deteriorating fundamentals.

The stark revenue decline and shift to significant losses indicate broader challenges in the private capital markets ecosystem. The consulting revenue slowdown suggests potential market saturation or competitive pressures in their core business. The FINRA broker-dealer approval is strategically important, potentially enabling Netcapital to capture larger deals and diversify revenue streams through fee-sharing arrangements. However, the timing of this expansion coincides with a challenging market environment for private capital raising. The sequential revenue improvement in the funding portal business provides a minor bright spot, but the magnitude of the year-over-year declines overshadows these gains.

BOSTON, MA, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL, NCPLW) (the “Company”), a digital private capital markets ecosystem, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended October 31, 2024.

"During the quarter ended October 31, 2024, we saw a decrease in revenue, when compared to the quarter ended October 31, 2023, but an increase in revenue when compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a slowdown in consulting revenue, while the sequential increase was driven by our funding portal business. Despite the challenges we faced during a tough quarter, we remain optimistic about the future,” said Martin Kay, CEO of Netcapital Inc. “Recently our wholly-owned subsidiary, Netcapital Securities Inc. received approval from FINRA to become a FINRA-member broker-dealer, which marks a significant achievement for the Company as it begins to open up opportunities for more revenue channels. Looking beyond the second quarter we are focused on leveraging our new broker-dealer license and expanding our capabilities. With NSI as a registered broker-dealer, we can now support companies raising capital under Reg A and Reg D offerings, facilitate and charge fees on larger fundraises, potentially provide a broader range of investment choices for our investor base, and establish fee-sharing agreements with other broker-dealers.”
