Tribe Property Technologies sees record revenue as company posts 4th quarter and year end results

Tribe Property Technologies

Tribe Property Technologies CEO Joseph Nakhla joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023. Nakhla began by highlighting the company's revenue growth, with total revenue reaching $19.39 million, marking an 8.8% increase compared to the previous fiscal year. This growth was attributed to various factors, including an expansion in software and service fees driven by an increased number of properties on the Tribe platform, higher financial services revenue associated with banking partnerships, software licensing fees, and the acquisition of Meritus. Additionally, Nakhla noted a significant improvement in gross profit, which amounted to $6.63 million for fiscal 2023 compared to $5.75 million in the previous year. This increase in gross profit and gross profit percentage was attributed to the addition of service contracts through organic growth, acquisitions, and restructuring efforts. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2023 showed improvement as well, with an outflow of $6.56 million, representing a 19.8% improvement compared to the previous fiscal year. This improvement was driven by increased revenue and cost-cutting initiatives. Looking ahead to 2024, Nakhla expressed optimism about the company's prospects for improved revenue growth, profitability, and expanding margins. Tribe aims to achieve this through various strategies, including increasing monthly recurring revenue by securing new property management agreements, onboarding more communities onto the Tribe platform, winning new software licensing agreements, and boosting digital services revenue. The company also has a robust pipeline of profitable acquisition opportunities. Furthermore, Tribe remains committed to investing in its software platform and adding functionality to its suite of products to maintain its industry leadership position and continue providing innovative solutions to its clients. With its strong financial performance and strategic initiatives in place, Tribe Property Technologies is well-positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities in the property management sector and drive value for its shareholders.

Flash Wins California Energy Commission $5.8M Grant for EV Charger ‘Innovation Lab’ in Oakland

Flash Parking

The California Energy Commission (CEC) and Flash, a pioneer in parking + charging solutions, today announced Flash secured a $5.8 million grant from CEC for a large-scale electric vehicle (EV) charger demonstration project in Oakland, California. The first-of-its-kind project will deploy at least 446 low-cost Level 2 EV chargers over a two-year period in convenient, high-density, high-visibility installations in a 1.5-mile area around downtown Oakland. With $24 million in funding from California’s Clean Transportation Program, the CEC grant to Flash and other awardees aims to demonstrate replicable and scalable business and technology models to deploy Level 2 charging infrastructure and improve public awareness of and confidence in Level 2 charging access. The project will also include installation of two Battery Energy Storage Systems that will help safeguard EV charger affordability during periods of peak energy demand. “Bay Area residents’ early commitment to the EV transition uniquely positions this community to serve as an ‘Innovation Lab’ for electrification projects in California and nationwide,” said Matt McCaffree, Vice President of Utility Market Development for Flash. “This collaboration with CEC will not only show what’s possible in high-density smart cities like Oakland but also keep the charging gap for early adopters from becoming a confidence gap for the next wave.” Bay Area EV adoption continues to outpace the national average by a factor of three. By installing reliable, affordable, and convenient public chargers, Flash and the CEC aim to close the charging gap and encourage further EV adoption—particularly among downtown residents, for whom dependable public charging is a prerequisite for ownership in lieu of at-home chargers. The success of the project would establish quality public charging as a standard among the practical, convenient, and environmentally-friendly “smart cities” of the future. “For residents living in downtown areas where at-home charging isn't an option, reliable and convenient public charging is key for continued EV adoption,” said CEC’s Lead Commissioner for Transportation Patty Monahan. “The CEC is looking forward to Flash's deployment of hundreds of Level 2 chargers throughout downtown Oakland to be a model of successful public charging.” The project will also generate invaluable data regarding battery capacities, operating costs, replicable price points, and emergency procedures, as well as insights toward stimulating demand and increasing return on investment. This information can then be used to expand and improve upon the Oakland deployment and inform electrification efforts throughout California and beyond. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem. Flash’s platform connects reservable parking and charging in the apps drivers use every day with garage, surface lot, event, and valet parking locations — connected and controlled via a cloud-based operating system with unrivaled intelligence. Customer-obsessed brands partner with Flash to deliver digital, easy-to-use, reliable, and increasingly frictionless experiences to drivers eager to pay for a solution that eliminates wasted time, excess emissions, and stress from driving.

Supermarket Income REIT PLC

Atrato Capital chief investment officer Steven Noble joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news that Supermarket Income REIT PLC (LSE:SUPR, OTC:SUPIF) has acquired a portfolio of 17 omnichannel supermarkets in France from Carrefour through a sale and leaseback transaction valued at €75 million. The deal ensures a leaseback to Carrefour for 12 years, yielding an initial return of 6.3% with the advantage of annual uncapped inflation-linked rent reviews. Noble emphasized that this move aligns with Atrato Capital's ongoing strategy to focus on omnichannel stores, crucial for both online and in-store grocery sales. The acquisition not only fits its existing investment strategy but also expands its addressable market to the French grocery sector, valued at €284 billion. France was specifically chosen due to its significant online growth potential and Carrefour's strong market position and omnichannel capabilities. Although the UK remains its core market, Noble hinted at possible future acquisitions in Europe to increase shareholder value, maintaining its strategic approach towards omnichannel grocery property investments. This expansion into France with Carrefour is viewed as a natural progression of Supermarket Income REIT's business model, providing promising growth and long-term valuation opportunities.
