Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp (OTCQB: HMMR) announced operating and financial results for the second quarter ended January 31, 2020. “This was a quarter of transformation for Hammer,” said Erik Levitt, Hammer’s CEO. “During the quarter we discontinued certain non-core operations, such as our toll free termination business, while setting the stage for our long term growth. Current global conditions have slowed our planned implementation in Huntsville, AL but we are committed to moving forward.”

Key results include:

• Total revenues for the quarter decreased to $536,277 from $877,317, a 35.80% decrease versus the same quarter in the prior year. This is primary due to the discontinuation of Endstream Communications’ Toll Free Termination business.
• The net loss from operations for the quarter increased to $187,539 from $109,725, a 70% increase versus the same quarter in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the discontinuation of the Endstream Communications’ Toll Free Termination business. The company will be taking steps throughout the current quarter and subsequent quarters to reduce the loss, while focusing on increasing revenue from its core businesses.
• The company has continued to move forward its projects in Huntsville, AL and in the Caribbean, but may encounter delays due to the current global conditions.
• The company recently announced its partnership with Telefonica International Wholesale Services, which is representative of its commitment to developing revenues from its over-the-top platform as it continues to develop its wireless assets.

“We will continue to progress toward our planned implementations,” said Kristen Vasicek, Hammer’s COO. “The rapid adoption of teleworking has underscored the importance of our collaboration tools, text messaging services and ultimately our new wireless networks to consumers, small businesses and enterprises.”
