Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
• | Connected Health: |
• | Fleet Management: |
• | Asset Monitoring: |
• | Communication Services: |
• | Industrial IoT: |
• | Lack of readily available in-house IoT resources and expertise; |
• | Significant time required to get to market; |
• | High failure rate of IoT initiatives; |
• | A highly fragmented vendor landscape; |
• | An ecosystem that is quickly evolving and changing rapidly; |
• | Substantial and increasing regulatory/compliance issues; |
• | Interoperability and compatibility with assorted technologies. |
• | We believe KORE One is now an industry leading platform for IoT subscription and network management, and which provides us with a competitive edge in the market. |
• | Amongst industry analysts, KORE has continued to establish and improve its position as the only pure play IoT enabler. KORE was the only independent IoT Connectivity provider recognized as a leader in Managed IoT Connectivity by Gartner in the 2022 Magic Quadrant report for the third year in a row. The Company was also listed as a leader by IDC MarketScape, highlighting the breadth and scale of KORE’s solutions. |
• | KORE’s product portfolio has expanded significantly. A few years ago KORE was primarily IoT Connectivity Services focused while today its product portfolio includes IoT Solutions such as IoT Deployment Services and Security Software and Services. KORE’s IoT Connectivity Services have also become richer through the addition of the eSIMs and “Connectivity Enablement as a Service” to the IoT Connectivity Services product portfolio. |
• | IoT Solutions has increased as a proportion of KORE’s total revenue each year since 2018. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, respectively, IoT Solutions represented 36% and 26% of KORE’s total revenue. |
• | For IoT Connectivity— T-Mobile and Vodafone; Mobile Virtual Network Operators such as Aeris and Wireless Logic; and |
• | For IoT Solutions and Analytics |
• | Organic volume growth—leveraging the strong IoT industry growth expressed in terms of our customers’ revenue, device and data usage growth, while continuing to maintain high customer retention |
• | Cross-sell and upsell—selling KORE’s growing portfolio of IoT Solutions developed during the prior two years and going-forward, to our large base of connectivity services only customers |
• | Deepening our presence in focused industry sectors—developing more of a vertical orientation in our business and deepening industry domain knowledge that will in turn allow the development and deployment of pre-configured industry solutions |
• | Enhancing AIoT (Artificial Intelligence + IoT) and Edge Analytics capabilities |
• | Strategic acquisitions that will allow KORE to expand our IoT Solutions and advanced IoT connectivity capabilities while ensuring a highly disciplined use of capital for such acquisitions |
• | The number of carrier integrations (44) |
• | KORE One platform (7 engines) |
• | ConnectivityPro service and related APIs |
• | eSIM technology stack/ proprietary IP |
• | Hypercore technology |
• | Deep industry vertical knowledge and experience ( e.g. |
• | Breadth of solutions and analytics services |
• | 3,000+ connectivity-only customers for cross-sell opportunities |
• | Services: IoT Connectivity services and IoT Solutions services. |
• | Products: SIMs (IoT Connectivity) and IoT devices (IoT Solutions). |
