Bull points
- We kicked off 25 with strong momentum. I'd like to highlight two areas where the company truly excelled. First, we accelerated revenue growth to 56% year-over-year, driven by rising market demand.
- Second, we delivered $0.7 million in pre-tax income, representing a 257% increase, more than 3.5 times of the last year. This performance highlights the scalability of our model, the efficiency of our cost structure, and our ability to drive meaningful profitability as we grow.
- Total revenue for first quarter reached 8 million, up 56% year over year. This growth was fueled impartially by a 17% increase in total billable enrolled employees from our employee customer.
