Nextech3D.AI (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF, FRA:1SS) earlier this week discussed its Q4 and full-year 2026 financial results with Proactive, outlining record revenue growth, improving margins and a clearer path toward profitability as recent acquisitions begin to contribute to performance.
Chief executive Evan Gappelberg said the latest results reflected several years of operational restructuring and strategic repositioning.
He indicated that the company had focused on rebuilding its business model, improving execution and establishing itself as a high-growth, high-margin participant in the AI-powered event technology market.
A standout metric was fourth-quarter revenue growth of 216% year-over-year. According to management, the company generated nearly $1 million in revenue during the quarter, almost matching the revenue produced during the previous three quarters combined.
Gappelberg described the result as a significant milestone, stating: “So in one quarter, we did almost what we did in the prior three quarters in revenue for Q4 2026. So that’s a very big signal to investors that, hey, you know, it’s showtime.”
Chief financial officer Anum Waqas attributed the growth to stronger sales execution, contributions from the Eventdex and Kratylabs acquisitions, and increased demand for the company’s software offerings. Waqas said the benefits of integrating technologies and customer relationships were beginning to emerge and suggested there remained meaningful upside as those integrations progress.
Profitability metrics also moved in a positive direction. Waqas reported software margins above 90%, lower costs of sales and substantial operational efficiencies. The company reduced overhead, streamlined teams and increased its use of AI and automation across the organization.
Operating losses improved by approximately 80% for the full year and by approximately 96% in the fourth quarter, according to management. Waqas said these trends provided a clearer view of the company’s future financial trajectory, adding that increasing revenue should allow more earnings to flow to the bottom line.
Gappelberg further highlighted reduced accounts payable, lower operating losses and what he described as exceptionally strong gross margins. He suggested that, excluding certain one-time charges, the company would be cash-flow positive and that profitability could be achieved in the foreseeable future.
Looking ahead, management identified continued integration of recent acquisitions, sustained revenue growth and expanding software adoption as key catalysts. Gappelberg also pointed to growing investor interest in the event technology sector, citing recent multibillion-dollar transactions involving BlackRock and Apollo as evidence of increasing industry momentum.
The executives expressed confidence that the company’s operational improvements and market positioning could support continued growth into 2027.
