Highlights
Listed
below are a few of NetSol’s highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2025:
● We
generated approximately $1.6 million in revenue through major system enhancements and platform
modifications for multiple clients across diverse global regions.
● We
entered into a strategic agreement with an existing client to not only have the annual maintenance
fee revised upwards but also to upgrade our legacy R1 platform, a project expected to generate
approximately $1.5 million in revenues.
● We
launched Check AI, a groundbreaking AI-native credit decisioning engine integrated into our
Transcend platform, marking a major step forward in transforming automated underwriting through
faster decision-making and superior accuracy.
● We
were selected by a Fortune 500 automotive and powersports dealership group in North America
to lead a discovery engagement with them focused on defining the roadmap for their next-gen
omnichannel digital retail platform to be powered by our Transcend Retail system.
● The
finance arm of a leading Chinese construction equipment company in Indonesia successfully
went live with our Transcend Finance solution.
Management
has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.
Positive
trends:
● According
to S&P Global Mobility, the forecast for new vehicle sales worldwide in 2025 is 89.6
million units, which is a modest 1.7% year-over-year growth in light vehicle sales, and the
US automotive sales of new vehicles in 2025 are expected to be around 16.2 million units,
which is a 1.2% to 1.4% increase from 2024. This would be the highest annual sales figure
since 2019.
● According
to recent forecasts, China’s auto sales in 2025 are expected to reach approximately
32.9 million units, representing a 4.7% year-over-year increase. Sales of New Energy Vehicles
(NEV) account for 48.7% of all new car sales in China. (China Automobile Manufacturers Association).
China’s sales target for NEVs in 2025 is projected to reach 15.5 million units, amounting
to a 20% rise over 2024 figures (Fastmarkets, September 19, 2025).
● The
overall size of the mobility market in Europe and the United States is projected to increase
to over $425 billion combined by 2035 or a compound CAGR of 5% from 2022 (Deloitte Global
Automotive Mobility Market Simulation Tool).
● The
global automotive finance market size was valued at approximately $295.13 billion in 2024
and is projected to reach USD 451.71 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2025 through 2030 (Grandview Research).
Negative
trends:
● The
conflict in Gaza has disrupted the entire Middle East region since October 7, 2023. The conflict
has expanded to neighboring nations such as Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. The unrest and turmoil
in the region are viewed unfavorably by the regional business community. While recent ceasefire
efforts may signal a positive change to the volatility in the region, there is no guarantee
that the ceasefire will hold or that any outcome of the conflict will positively affect the
region.
● General
economic conditions in our geographic markets, inflation, economic uncertainty, and increased
operational costs are pressuring margins and leading companies to prioritize critical investment
and control spending.
● SaaS
cybersecurity faces unprecedented challenges as companies increasingly migrate critical functions
to cloud platforms. Proliferation of AI tools within these platforms has created additional
attack vectors that require specialized security approaches beyond legacy protections (JOSYS.COM).
● The
imposition of tariffs on China and on other US trading partners may affect the price of consumer
goods, including vehicles, amongst others, negatively affecting the profitability of many
of our customers.
● After
the phase-out of the U.S. federal tax credits for EVs, sales have declined and the outlook
for recovery in EV demand is poor in the near future (marklines.com).

A
significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions
as described in Note 15 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening
of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also
increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to
foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing
to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing
how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from
one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period
results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported
currency and in constant currency.

50.2% to 51.6%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in selling and marketing expenses, salaries and wages,
offset by a decrease in other general and administrative expenses and the provision for doubtful accounts.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $3,116,953 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2,292,199, for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 for an increase of $824,754 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $847,959. The increase is mainly due to
increases in salaries and consultants of approximately $663,739, due to annual raises and the hiring of additional marketing personnel.
Other marketing expenses increased by approximately $151,836 due to the increase in advertising and marketing events.

General
and administrative expenses were $4,419,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $4,672,122 for the three months
ended September 30, 2024 or a decrease of $252,722 and on a constant currency basis a decrease of $260,336. During the three months ended
September 30, 2025, salaries increased by $144,888 and increased $144,575 on a constant currency basis, bad debt expense decreased $338,089
and decreased $338,062 on a constant currency basis, and other general and administrative expenses decreased $59,521 and decreased by
$66,849 on a constant currency basis.
Research
and development cost was $214,343 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $359,949, for the three months ended September
30, 2024 for a decrease of $145,606 and on a constant currency basis a decrease of $141,803.
Income/Loss
from Operations
Loss
from operations was $1,838,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $760,158 for the three months ended September
30, 2024. This represents an increase in loss of $1,078,548 with an increase of $1,115,354 on a constant currency basis for the three
months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2024. As a percentage of sales, loss from operations
was 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a loss from operations of 5.2% for the three months ended September
30, 2024.
Other
Income and Expense
Other
expense was $162,884 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to other income of $1,207,684 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024. This represents a decrease in other income of $1,370,568 with a decrease of $1,371,569 on a constant currency basis.
The decrease is primarily due to the foreign currency exchange transactions. The majority of the contracts with NetSol PK are either
in U.S. dollars or Euros; therefore, the currency fluctuations will lead to foreign currency exchange gains or losses depending on the
value of the PKR compared to the U.S. dollar and the Euro. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a loss of
$286,917 in foreign currency exchange transactions compared to a gain of $542,545 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, the value of the U.S. dollar decreased 0.6% and the Euro decreased 0.7%, compared to the PKR.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the value of the U.S. dollar decreased 0.2% and the Euro increased 3.9%, compared to
the PKR.
Non-controlling
Interest
For
the three months ended September 30, 2025, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $139,923, compared to $146,914
for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Net
income (loss) attributable to NetSol
The
net loss was $2,357,288 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net income of $70,795 for the three months ended September
30, 2024. This is a decrease of $2,428,083 with a decrease of $2,509,233 on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. For
the three months ended September 30, 2025, net loss per share was $0.20 for basic and diluted shares compared to net income per share
of $0.006 for basic and diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
Regulation
S-K Item 10(e), “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Commission Filings,” defines and prescribes the conditions for use
of non-GAAP financial information. Our measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share meet the definition
of a non-GAAP financial measure.
We
define the non-GAAP measures as follows:
● EBITDA
is GAAP net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation
and amortization.
● Non-GAAP
adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense.
● Adjusted
EBITDA per basic and diluted share – Adjusted EBITDA allocated to common stock divided
by the weighted average shares outstanding and diluted shares outstanding.
We
use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the business and believe that presenting non-GAAP measures provides useful information to
investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations as well as useful metrics for monitoring
our performance and evaluating it against industry peers. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should be used in addition to, and
in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.
Management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure in evaluating the Company.
The
non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
EBITDA :
We report EBITDA as a non-GAAP metric by excluding the effect of net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization
from net income or loss because doing so makes internal comparisons to our historical operating results more consistent. In addition,
we believe providing an EBITDA calculation is a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.
Stock-based
compensation expense : We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP
adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share calculations. Although stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with
current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense
which generally requires cash settlement by NetSol, and therefore is not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. We
also believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating
results of our peers.
Non-controlling
interest : We add back the non-controlling interest in calculating gross adjusted EBITDA and then subtract out the income taxes, depreciation
and amortization and net interest expense attributable to the non-controlling interest to arrive at a net adjusted EBITDA.

reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share to the most comparable
GAAP measures for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

short and long-term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates as described in Note 12 of the financial
statements. We are in compliance with the covenants of the financial arrangements and there is no default, which may lead to early payment
of these obligations. We anticipate paying back all these obligations on their respective due dates from its own sources.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. The SEC defines “critical
accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.
Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to
variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying
factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of
operations. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they conform to general practices in our industry.
We apply critical accounting policies consistently from period to period and intend that any change in methodology occur in an appropriate
manner. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
