Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
Netcapital Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is reporting its expectations with respect to certain of its unaudited results for the year ended April 30, 2023 based upon management estimates.
Preliminary Results for our Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2023
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, (“fiscal year 2023”), are not yet available. We have presented preliminary estimated ranges of certain of our financial results below for fiscal year 2023, based on information currently available to management. We have provided ranges, rather than specific amounts, for certain financial results below, primarily because our financial closing procedures for the three months and year ended April 30, 2023 are not yet complete. As a result, our actual results may vary materially from the estimated preliminary results included herein. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these estimates. The preliminary financial data included herein has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, management. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary estimated financial data below and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. See “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on August 8, 2022, for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary estimated ranges of certain financial results presented below and the financial results we will ultimately report for fiscal year 2023.
For the fiscal year 2023, we estimate that our net sales will range from $8.3 million to $8.5 million, an increase of approximately $2.9 million, or 53%, using the midpoint of the estimated net sales range when compared with net sales of $5.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022 (“fiscal year 2022”). The increase in sales was driven primarily by an increase in consulting fees.
For the fiscal year 2023, we estimate that our operating income will range from $2.1 million to $2.3 million, an increase of $3.2 million, using the midpoint of the estimated range when compared with an operating loss of $1.0 million for fiscal year 2022.
