NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS – Track Group, Inc. (OTCQX: TRCK), a global leader in offender tracking and monitoring services, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2019 (the “First Quarter FY20”).

“We are please to kick off our new fiscal year with a strong first quarter that ended December 31, 2019 with revenue growth of nearly 3%, which is commendable given the impact of the strengthening of the US dollar and the subsequent reduction in revenue caused by the translation of our significant Chilean peso revenue into US dollars”, said Derek Cassell, Track Group’s CEO.

Total operating expense for the First Quarter FY20 of $4.4M is down 7 % versus First Quarter FY19’s $4.7M of operating expense. The decline in quarterly operating expense when combined with a favorable quarterly gross profit led to Operating Income of $301K, which is a dramatic improvement of over 600% compared to a quarterly loss of $57K in the First Quarter FY19.
 
Adjusted EBITDA in the First Quarter FY20 finished at $1.8M, up 3% compared to $1.7M for First Quarter FY2019.
 
Cash balance of $8.5M for First Quarter FY20, up 23% compared to $6.9M at September 30, 2019.
