Management Commentary

“The Versus balance sheet is stronger today than it has been since our early days on Nasdaq. The warrant exercises and recent financings give us an enhanced runway to execute our growth strategies in the year ahead, both with our current offerings and with our continued research and development in AI,” said Matthew Pierce, CEO of Versus Systems. “At the end of 2022 and going into 2023, we decreased our operating cash burn by 60%, and we continue to reduce operating costs to promote efficiency. In conjunction with our cost-cutting efforts, we have entered 2023 with an improved balance sheet with sufficient capital to fund our growth for the year ahead.

“As we progress further into 2023, we aim to support organic growth through continued product development and innovation, while being opportunistic with potential inorganic growth opportunities as they arise. From a product development standpoint, we are placing particular emphasis on artificial intelligence—an area in which we have been filing patents for years—to bring machine learning and enhanced personalization to our gamification and reward capabilities. With our strengthened balance sheet, we also have greater flexibility to evaluate potential partnerships and acquisition opportunities that can expand the power and reach of our platform. We look forward to providing further updates on our strategic progress.”
