SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Taoping Inc. (Nasdaq: TAOP, the "Company"), today reported a nearly 100% year-over-year increase in the Company's contract revenue value for its cloud-based product, software and advertising businesses in the first nine months of 2023. The Company entered into contracts totaling RMB 191 million (approximately US$26.55 million) during the first nine months of 2023, the revenues from which the Company expects to recognize within fiscal year 2023.
The surge in growth follows the 95% year-over-year increase in contract revenue value reported for the first six months of 2023. High demand for Taoping's city partner ecosystem and comprehensive portfolio of core high-value, high-traffic area software development and advertising business solutions continues to drive growth and leverage the Company's powerful new Cloud Nest AI system and intelligent Cloud platform.
Mr. Lin Jianghuai, Chairman and CEO of Taoping, said: "After the Company's record start to 2023, we had high expectations for our business in the post-pandemic environment. Travel and interest in outdoor activities are once again popular, causing governments and private enterprises to further increase spending and accelerate development timelines to accommodate the higher demand on facilities and public spaces. For Taoping, our commitment to expanding our integrated solutions ecosystem enables us to now capture a greater share of these expanded growth opportunities. We expect this momentum to continue through 2023 as we focus on profitable revenue growth and maximizing the return on the many new products and solutions we successfully launched over the past few quarters."
"We are particularly excited about the many growth opportunities for our off-grid wastewater solutions, given the critical need for smaller, easy-to-install, and highly effective yet more economical solutions like Taoping's, and our leading-edge Smart City solutions, which seamlessly integrate with our AI-driven intelligent Cloud platform. Given Taoping's strong year-to-date growth and outlook, we believe our share price is undervalued and does not fully reflect Taoping's fundamentals, impressive portfolio pipeline and the underlying value of our ecosystem of integrated solutions. We believe our continued focus on strategy execution and delivery of improved financial results will drive greater value for investors and lead to a higher share price that more accurately reflects the Company's long-term intrinsic value."
