"These new AssetCare connections and the performance of our acquisitions have built a solid base for ongoing recurring revenue," McMeekin said. "Additionally, our ability to continually attract top business development talent and tap into a large serviceable obtainable market lets us scale our recurring revenues in a way that makes mCloud directly comparable with peer Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") technology companies." mCloud said it expects to connect at least 70,000 total assets in 2020 for full-year revenues of between C$70 to 72 million. Revenues will likely accelerate in the second half of the year based on growth from the firm’s 3D Digital Twin and Connected Worker solution segments, the CEO added. mCloud's organic growth in recurring revenues are expected to outpace the company's non-recurring expenses related to corporate development, including market up-listing activities and recent acquisitions, McMeekin said. While the headwinds caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak impacted the firm’s project services revenue in the first quarter of 2020, mCloud said that the influence of the pandemic on heavy industry operations worldwide is creating new revenue growth opportunities. "There is no doubt the current COVID-19 pandemic and economic shocks worldwide have changed the way businesses assess risk, especially as it relates to the disruptions organizations have seen across the board," McMeekin told investors. "Our entire team is very excited about the opportunities we have to help businesses everywhere acclimate to a new normal through our remote connectivity and asset management capabilities."
