Management Commentary
"During the first quarter of 2025, the Company continued to execute its business strategies and lay the groundwork for future growth. Due to the progress we've achieved in building our business infrastructure, we now expect to be in a better position to achieve key objectives such as strengthening our customer relationships, increasing our investment in digital marketing, and expanding our sales team. We believe we are also better equipped to perform the R&D that will enable us to introduce additional interactive and data analytics features to our proprietary Xyvid Pro Platform, to further develop and integrate our PaaS model and increase recurring revenue, and to add conversational artificial intelligence to upgrade our offerings.
In addition, we believe we are better positioned to possibly invest in, partner with, and acquire appropriate businesses that offer complementary and strategic advantages to enhance our overall competitiveness and growth.
These steps, we believe, will provide us with the competitive advantages, margin expansion, customer growth, diversification, and predictable cash flow generation that we anticipate will drive revenue growth and bottom-line improvements going forward." commented TEN Holdings' Chief Executive Officer, Randy Jones.
