Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2024) - MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) ("MineHub" or the "Company"), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets, is pleased to announce it has filed its interim financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") and management's discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

Andrea Aranguren, President and CEO of MineHub, commented, "The first quarter of fiscal 2025 was a remarkable period for MineHub, characterized by record revenue and strategic accomplishments. We launched our Business Confirmations Module and secured a services agreement with a major Canadian bank. The long-term opportunities for MineHub are vast as we continue to implement our strategy of delivering enhanced value to customers and expanding our ecosystem, which are the foundation for further sales growth and profitability. The Company is establishing a first mover advantage with MineHub actively working with over 165 companies including many industry leaders."
Accelerating Customer Activity
MineHub has been able to attract high calibre companies to its network, including companies such as: Codelco, the largest copper producer in the world; Sumitomo one of the largest movers of metal throughout the world; and Southwire, one of the largest cable and wire manufacturers in the world. After a new anchor customer is onboarded, MineHub then integrates the customer's supply chain counterparties or ecosystem partners to the MineHub network. The Company has now grown to over 165 ecosystem partners on its network at the end of April 30, 2024, compared to 102 at the end of April 30, 2023.
Accelerating customer activity is leading to increasing cumulative gross merchandise value ("GMV") transacted on the MineHub platform. MineHub achieved GMV of $4.0 billion of commodities transacted on its platform in the three months ended April 30, 2024, compared to $3.2 billion of commodities transacted on its platform in the three months ended April 30, 2023.
MineHub is pleased to provide an update on the following recent customer engagements:
MineHub continued to onboard Codelco's ecosystem partners in fiscal first quarter and has now added a total of 55 ecosystem partners with Codelco. MineHub's contract with Codelco is aimed at digitizing its global refined copper business, representing a significant validation of MineHub's technology platform. Through MineHub's advanced technology, Codelco will now be able to offer its customers heightened visibility, traceability, and operational efficiencies, elevating the overall customer experience.
On March 27, 2024, the Company signed a services agreement with a large Canadian bank (the "Bank") to deploy MineHub's Consignment Module to manage non-ferrous metals transactions for the Bank. The Consignment Module provides an accurate, real-time view of consignment stocks, allowing both manufacturers and suppliers to improve inventory management.
On May 14, 2024, the Company announced a partnership with Surecomp, a global leader in digital trade and supply chain finance solutions. This collaboration will integrate MineHub's platform into Surecomp's RIVO?? solution.
On May 21, 2024, the Company announced the launch of a pilot program with Southwire Company LLC and the Panama City Port Authority in Florida to incorporate digital truck bills of lading. This initiative aims to modernize and streamline the transportation process for copper cathode shipments, enhancing real-time tracking and security.
Product Development Progress
MineHub strives to amplify the value delivered to customers by enhancing the offering of features and functionality available on its platform. The Company has recently added the following functionality to its platform:
On March 7, 2024, the Company announced the launch of its Business Confirmations Module, a tool designed to transform the way sellers and buyers engage in contract negotiations. This software module allows seamless sharing of structured contract terms, allowing for efficient agreements through an audited approval workflow to ensure compliance.

This cutting-edge addition to MineHub's suite of offerings is set to modernize the management of financial documents by providing buyers and sellers with a unified platform for transparent, efficient, and secure financial data sharing.
First Quarter Financial Highlights
MineHub achieved quarterly revenue of $775,745 during Q1-2025, an increase of 127% as compared to revenue of $341,636 generated in Q1-2024. SaaS revenue increased by $237,789 as a result of both new customer growth and a full quarter contribution from the Waybridge acquisition compared to Q1-2024. Professional services revenue increased by $196,320 as the Company completed a non-recurring project and recognized the remainder of the deferred revenue related to the project.
MineHub recorded a net loss of $1.3 million in Q1-2025, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million in Q1-2024. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to improved costs (partially due to Waybridge acquisition costs incurred in Q1-2024) and increased revenue.

Key Goals for Fiscal 2025
MineHub has developed the following four goals for Fiscal 2025:
Continue to accelerate the Company's growth and increase the Annual Recurring Revenue (or "ARR")(1) by executing new customer contracts and adding ecosystem partners.
Improve profitability with cost containment strategies and increasing margins.
Expanding volumes of goods managed for customers leading to higher GMV of commodities transacted on the platform.
Leveraging MineHub's successful implementations with industry leaders to continue to grow the ecosystem of companies on the MineHub network.
Management has provided a fulsome update on the Company's progress toward these goals in the Business Outlook section of the MD&A.
Outlook
The Company continues to enjoy a robust sales pipeline. Management believes that the platform enhancements, cost containment strategies and recent ecosystem growth have laid the foundation for growth in ARR and progress toward profitability in the long-term. Management is expecting a decline in non-recurring professional services revenue in the next few quarters as the Company begins to shift its strategic focus towards annually recurring SaaS subscription revenue.

The Company will also host an investor webinar for its First Quarter 2025 Financial Results on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 9:00am PT (12:00pm ET). Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub, and Monika Russell, CFO of MineHub, will provide a corporate update, review the quarterly financial results, and discuss the business's outlook; followed by a Question & Answer session.
