Datasea’s Top-Line Performance Driven by its Further Penetration of China’s 5G AI Applications Segment

BEIJING, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Datasea Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSS) (“Datasea” or the “Company”), a Nevada-based technology firm, today released its financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, reporting robust revenue of $21.1 million, representing 206% growth year-over-year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the continued success of the Company’s leading edge 5G AI multimodal digital business segment sector in China.

Ms. Zhixin Liu, CEO of Datasea, commented, “Our first quarter revenue came in at 3.1x that of the year-ago quarter, continuing the growth momentum we have seen since 2024. This affirms the success of our 5G AI business strategy and highly effective marketing, which has expanded our customer base and accelerated the growth of our 5G AI business segment. Our commitment to technological innovation in both our 5G AI and acoustics business segments continue to fuel the visibility of our products and services while ensuring our corporate growth.”

Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: Datasea reported first quarter revenue of $21.1 million, a 206% increase from revenue of $6.9 million for this same year-ago period. This surge in revenue was driven primarily by the rapid growth of our 5G AI multimodal business.
  • Current Assets: As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company’s current assets were $7.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The period-over-period increase in current assets denotes added liquidity to support the smooth running of our day-to-day operations.
  • Cash Balance: As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This was the result of a successful registered direct offering raising approximately $2.25 million in the first quarter. Subsequently, on October 15, 2024, the Company received approximately $4.0 million in gross proceeds from a private placement offering to support its future business operations, which was partially funded by insiders including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Business Highlights

5G AI Multimodal Digital Business

1. 5G AI Multimodal Digital Business

    • The Company has completed an upgrade of its core 5G AI multimodal communication business with AI processing technology. Currently, it can achieve AI creation and generation of various information forms including sound, text, images, and videos, as well as efficient transmission and AI digital human marketing functions. This capability can empower numerous industries and clients with highly effective marketing and video matrix capabilities by our 5G Multimodal Communication products.

2. Prospective Partner with China Mobile Internet

    • During the first fiscal quarter, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Heilongjiang Xunrui Technology Co., Ltd., was selected by China Mobile Internet as a prospective partner in its database of companies for specific project cooperation contracts. China Mobile Internet is a subsidiary of China Mobile, one of the world’s largest mobile operators and the largest wireless carrier in China.

      Ms. Liu Zhixin, CEO of Datasea, commented, “We believe that the opportunity to collaborate with China Mobile Internet will provide new possibilities for growth of our existing businesses, which may enable our 5G AI subsidiary to further broaden its market channels, enhance brand influence, and offer higher quality products and services to a wider range of customers.”

3. New 5G AI Agreements 

    • During the first fiscal quarter, two of the Company’s 5G-AI subsidiaries entered into new agreements to provide 5G-AI multimodal digital services, including specialized marketing tools, that have an estimated potential total value of approximately $30 million over 12 months based on customer needs. The Company expects the new agreements will have a substantially positive impact on its financial performance in fiscal 2025 and will further enhance its positioning in China’s 5G application landscape. Datasea plans to continue aggressively marketing these products and services, potentially leading to additional contracts in the near future.

Datasea’s Acoustics Business

1. Technological Innovation and Applications

    • The Company is continuously advancing in technological innovation and maintaining a competitive edge in the field of acoustic technology, particularly in ultrasonic technology and Schumann resonance. This enables broader and more efficient applications in disinfection and sterilization, crop drying, security monitoring, sleep aid, beauty and skincare, as well as medical and wellness support.

2. New Product Development

    • The Company continues to enhance and upgrade its range of acoustic products, including a series of ultrasonic air disinfection machines, with a particular focus on the Sleep Assurance Device (a non-contact sleep assistance device) for health improvement. This device combines cutting-edge “Acoustics + AI” precision manufacturing technology, featuring functions such as Schumann vibration for sleep aid, fatigue relief, AI voice commands, and intelligent light sensing.

3. Outlook for the Acoustics Business:

    • To drive domestic growth in China, Datasea has implemented a robust new marketing strategy that integrates brand building, multi-channel marketing, and a refined pricing approach. This strategy encompasses multiple e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, JD.com, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Dewu, Weibo, and various video channels. Through these platforms, Datasea is enhancing its brand exposure, utilizing live-streaming and influencer partnerships on Douyin, and engaging users with community-driven marketing on Xiaohongshu and Dewu. With its targeted mid-to-high-end pricing strategy and platform-specific promotions, Datasea is poised to expand its market reach and boost consumer engagement.
    • In terms of international expansion, Datasea has established a U.S. subsidiary, Datasea Acoustics LLC, to lay the groundwork for a larger distribution network in North America. Datasea Acoustics LLC is focused on forming partnerships with leading U.S. retailers and distributors, and is actively pursuing collaborations in Europe and Asia. These initiatives will position Datasea to capture new market share and drive global growth.
