Nubeva reports 12-fold increase in revenue, significant decrease in operating loss, and strengthens its balance sheet 

San Jose, Calif., August 30, 2021 -- Nubeva Technologies Ltd. ("Nubeva" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NBVA, OTC: NBVAF), announces its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2021. Financial statements along with management discussion and analysis of financial results can be found at www.sedar.com. All dollar amounts in this release are stated in U.S. Dollars. 

Fiscal 2021 was a landmark year for Nubeva as it gained traction with OEM customers for its SKI (Session Key Intercept) software, resulting in a more than 12-fold increase in revenue. 

Revenue 

“In addition to year over year revenue growth, Nubeva reported an 81% decrease in total comprehensive loss for the year and strengthened its balance sheet with a 77% increase in working capital. Juliet Jones, CFO stated, “Sales are expected to continue to grow year over year, driving the Company towards positive cash flow.” 

The demand for a modern decryption solution is growing. Today, nearly all traffic on the internet and in private enterprises is encrypted using the TLS protocol.  Accelerating cyber-threats and growing regulatory requirements are pushing the adoption of the latest TLS standards for the highest levels of protection.  While essential, it also hides vital details required to inspect communications to defend from threats and identify and resolve application performance issues.   Security and application tools that have previously decrypted traffic to enable deep network inspection now have growing gaps due to these changes in TLS and continued transformations in computing, networking, and security strategies.  

Nubeva provides a next-generation software technology solution for the lawful decryption of TLS traffic.  Growing numbers of cybersecurity and application assurance manufacturers and service providers are licensing Nubeva SKI technology to embed into their offerings to fill those gaps and deliver greater capability and value to their customers.  Nubeva expands markets, accelerates their sales, and reduces support costs and complexities. 

“Our SKI technology has been validated and continues to mature, and our sales pipeline continues to grow,” said Randy Chou, Founder and CEO. “We believe that we are at the beginning of a market technology transition and are incredibly well-positioned for market share capture and growth in the coming year and beyond.” 

Company highlights for Fiscal year 2021 include:  

• SKI Adoption is Accelerating: In June 2020 Nubeva closed its first OEM License contract for SKI with one of the world’s top cyber security companies. Since then, Nubeva entered into agreements with numerous global enterprises in the area of cybersecurity and network monitoring including, industry-leading network detection and response technology, a performance monitoring and analytics solution, cloud integrator, as well as a "tier-1" 5G/Telecom network operator to enable advanced network monitoring of core communications infrastructure.
  
• Proven Customer Satisfaction: Existing OEM customers are reporting ease and speed of implementation and integration of SKI into their offerings.  Satisfaction is high with the SKI technology itself as well as Nubeva support.  Nubeva’s licensees are validating positive responses from their customers as well as the value SKI capability brings to their sales growth. 
• Sales Pipeline Growth: At the time of this release, Nubeva’s pipeline of engaged prospects is over three times the size of the prior year's pipeline. Activity is accelerating across stages of the sales cycle from early prospect engagement to technical evaluations, deep proof of concepts, and contract pricing and negotiations for both service providers and early-adopter end users.  
• Product Maturation: Nubeva released extensive product enhancements over the year. Highlights include: 
  •  - Successfully validated support for the upcoming Microsoft Windows Desktop and Server versions release
  •  - Launched expanded support of AWS VPC Traffic Mirroring enabling further visibility in AWS 
  •  - Built upon expansive protocol and signature library growing the breadth of decryption capability and proving extensibility of Nubeva’s SKI technology into the future 
  •  - Improved upon already market-leading performance and tuned product delivery capabilities to enable repeatability and flexibility of implementation of the product suite.
• Launched Developer Program: To reduce the entry barriers and accelerate adoption, Nubeva launched its developer license program for its SKI. This program allows OEM prospects the ability to perform initial integrations, execute seamless proof of concepts and external demos of SKI’s decryption capability to their customer base before deeper OEM implementations and commitments. The program delivery model is customer-driven, requires no change to Nubeva’s support model, and is validated as an easy on-ramp for SKI adoption.  

Selected Operating Data: 

Net loss for the year was $762,004; a significant reduction from the prior-year loss of $3,783,511. The reduction in net loss was due to 58% to the increase in revenue, 25% to a reduction of expenses and 15% to government assistance accrued for the year.  

Financial position: 

Assets as at April 30, 2021, increased by $701,673 over assets as at April 30, 2020 due mainly to an increase in cash from financing activities of $1,930,845. Cash and money market instruments increased by $407,045 and accounts receivable increased by $290,613. The Company had a working capital surplus of $2,566,311 (April 30, 2020 - $1,447,203).
