Beamr (Nasdaq: BMR), a leading supplier of video optimization
technology and solutions, today issued a Letter to Shareholders
from Sharon Carmel, Chief Executive Officer.
Dear Shareholders:
I am happy to update you on our Q1 2024 activities and progress.
Q1 2024 was a transformative quarter for our company as we built
upon the progress and achievements that we reached in 2023, which
resulted in several significant milestones for our company.
Cloud service
On February 20 2024, we launched the Beamr Cloud SaaS solution,
which enables everyone to perform high-quality, high-scale video
processing at attractive pricing. Our new video cloud service
offers more capabilities than we initially expected. They include
video standards modernization from AVC to HEVC, and adoption
acceleration of new standards.
Capital raising
Also in February 2024, we raised gross proceeds of $13.8 million
in an underwritten offering, prior to deducting underwriting
discounts and other offering expenses. We intend to use the raised
capital to substantially expand the reach of our video cloud
services by investing in research and development efforts, sales
and marketing activities, cloud operating costs, as well as general
and administrative corporate purposes, including working capital
and capital expenditures. We plan to expand Beamr Cloud across the
emerging markets in the video world: User-Generated Content,
Generative AI, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Streaming (OTT).
AI workflows
Throughout Q1 2024, we have teamed up with other industry
leaders, such as NVIDIA, to highlight the benefits and features of
using our technology and other artificial intelligence (AI)
workflows.
In March 2024, we presented accelerated video AI workflows and
our plans to integrate AI workflows into Beamr Cloud. We also
released the results of a case study that highlights how our
technology enables accelerated machine learning training by using
significantly smaller video files and without any negative impact
on the video AI process.
During Q2 2024, we plan to focus on enabling vision AI processes
in Beamr Cloud. Enabling AI workflows, such as object
detection, is in tandem with video optimization, as GPU is a
natural acceleration platform to both. These new capabilities will
allow Beamr to enhance our offerings to video customers and offer
services to the new emerging markets of AI. Furthermore, we plan to
continue introducing improvements to Beamr Cloud making it easier
to use and allow customers higher configurability and flexibly
using the service.
Financial highlights*
In Q1 2024, we generated approximately $0.39M in revenues
compared with $0.33M in Q1 2023, representing a 18% increase, and
as of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $19M of cash and cash
equivalents including accrued interest. The revenues are driven
from existing customers, and we expect contribution of the Beamr
Cloud revenues to start realizing later this year.Respectfully,
Sharon Carmel
Chief Executive Officer, Beamr Imaging Ltd.
