Generation Next announces fiscal year end revenue of $17.1 million
74 New Kiosk Installations Installed in June Result in $3.1 Million of Revenue Recognition for the Month
SAN DIEGO, CA, July 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Generation Next (OTCQB: VEND) reported June revenue of $3.1 million on 74 deliveries bringing the total revenue for the quarter to $8.3 million on 207 kiosks. In addition, the company reported fiscal year 2019 revenue of $17.1 million on 407 units. The Company’s fiscal year ended on Sunday, June 30.
“It is good to have what has been a very tough fiscal year on many fronts finish on a positive note. Earlier in the year, it didn’t seem like it was possible to deliver 400 robots by the end of June. We were less than $1 million in revenue in fiscal year 2018 to $17 million in 2019 seems like a small victory given we are still recovering from the manufacturing delays we experienced during the first half of this fiscal year,” said Nick Yates, CEO of Generation Next Franchise Brands. “The next month revolves around solving some short-term cash flow issues so we don’t hinder our ability to produce what we think is an estimated $40 million over the next fiscal year.”
Some additional highlights for the month of June include:
- Secured 50 new US locations for Reis & Irvy’s franchisees
- Finished the month with 127 franchisees operating a Reis & Irvy’s kiosk in the United States
- Booked 45 new Reis & Irvy’s franchises in 8 contracts worth $2.1 million in deferred revenues (averaging $47,756 per franchise)
- Surpassed 500,000 cups of yogurt and $2.5 million dollars of retail sales for Reis & Irvy’s franchisees
- Signed agreement with World Franchise Associates to support expansion in Middle East and Africa
- Secured a test with Bed Bath and Beyond in select California locations for Print Mates Kiosks
- Reached an agreement with Redners Markets for the placement of Print Mates Kiosks

The company’s CFO and COO, Ryan Polk, said, “The supply chain is working well. The only constraint on growing our revenue right now is cash for working capital. We are considering proposals from investors and lenders to provide us with the working capital we need to produce and deliver our contract backlog. Our recent filing with the SEC opens the door for us to increase our authorized share count thereby giving us a wider range of options for raising equity or attaching an equity component to debt deals.”
