"The results for the quarter are trending in the right direction, extremely encouraging and are starting to reflect the scale of our operations and what should be expected in terms of metrics from the NaaS business model", said Jim Bailey, CFO of NuRAN Wireless. "Looking forward, we expect our SG&A to remain relatively flat while we drive towards positive EBITDA. We finalized two major financings at the start of Q3 representing a turning point for NuRAN as we anxiously add new sites to build scale. We look to replicate the proven site economics in Cameroon by deploying sites in inventory, with low incremental spend required, in Cameroon and DRC. We'll also use these funds to build critical mass in new recently signed countries working with our strategic partners and new investors and lenders to continue to extend communications in hard-to-reach rural locations".
NuRAN Wireless的CFO Jim Bailey表示:“本季度的业绩走势符合预期,非常令人鼓舞,并开始反映出我们的业务规模和NaaS商业模式的指标应该达到的水平。展望未来,我们预计SG&A费用将保持相对稳定,同时我们将朝着实现正面EBITDA的目标努力。我们在第三季度初完成了两项重大融资,这是NuRAN的一个转折点,我们将急切地增加新站点以扩大规模。我们计划在喀麦隆部署存货中的站点,几乎不需要额外的支出,并扩大在喀麦隆和刚果民主共和国部署站点的规模。我们还将利用这些资金与我们的战略合作伙伴、新投资者和贷款人一起在新签署合约的国家建立关键的媒体传播,以继续延伸到偏远地区的通信。”
