CHARLOTTETOWN, PE, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SpryPoint, a trusted technology partner for utilities across North America, announced today that Kevin Gallagher has joined the company as Vice President of Payments. Gallagher brings nearly 30 years of experience building and scaling payments businesses to lead SpryWallet, SpryPoint’s fully integrated utility payments platform.

“I’m excited to join SpryPoint and build on the strong foundation the team has already established with SpryWallet, and to bring the discipline of building payments businesses at scale to a platform with this much runway.”

Gallagher’s arrival underscores SpryPoint’s continued investment in payments as a core pillar of its integrated utility software platform. As Vice President of Payments, he will lead the strategy, growth, and operational execution of SpryWallet, working directly with utilities to embed secure, real-time payment options into the core of their customer experience while reducing the operational burden on utility staff.

Gallagher joins SpryPoint after nearly three decades building and scaling payments businesses across the fintech and SaaS industries. Most recently, he served as Global Head of Payments and Embedded Financial Services at EverCommerce, a leading vertical SaaS platform serving more than 500,000 service-based businesses. Earlier in his career, he held general manager and senior vice president roles building and scaling payments organizations at CARET (AbacusNext), FrontStream, Transfast (acquired by Mastercard in 2019), Vesta Corporation, 2Checkout, CardinalCommerce, Merchant e-Solutions, Chase Paymentech, and First Data. He currently serves on the board of directors of the TAG FinTech Steering Committee and holds a BBA from Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business and an MBA from Kennesaw State University.

“Payments are central to how utilities serve their customers, and Kevin brings a rare combination of deep payments expertise and a proven track record of building best-in-class payments businesses at scale,” said Kyle Strang, CEO and Co-Founder of SpryPoint. “His experience building and scaling embedded payments across multiple vertical SaaS platforms is exactly what we need as we grow SpryWallet into the payments layer of choice for utilities across North America.”

“Utilities are at an inflection point where embedded payments can meaningfully improve both the customer experience and back-office efficiency,” said Gallagher. “I’m excited to join SpryPoint and build on the strong foundation the team has already established with SpryWallet, and to bring the discipline of building payments businesses at scale to a platform with this much runway.”

Gallagher joins SpryPoint as SpryWallet continues to gain momentum with utilities across the Americas, following the platform’s recent launch and its seamless, native integration with SpryCIS and SpryEngage.

The decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volume, which was partially offset by the increase in the overall average selling prices of the Company’s cables and wire harness products.

Revenue generated from connectors increased by 5.7%, to $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the overall average selling prices of the Company’s connectors, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume.

Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 3.8%, to $10.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $11.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decline stemmed from modest sales decreases in Denmark and Bulgaria, which were partially offset by slight revenue growth in Hungary and the Netherlands.

Revenue generated from Asia increased by 4.4%, to $5.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by a sales increase in Mainland China of $0.7 million and a sales increase in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $0.1 million, and was partially offset by a sales decrease in Hong Kong, China of $0.5 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 11.2%, to $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a sales decrease in North America of $0.2 million.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 3.2%, to $12.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $12.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which was generally in line with the decrease in total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the Company’s inventory costs was primarily due to an 11.9% decrease in the total sales volume from approximately 31.3 million units in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 to approximately 27.6 million units in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

Labor costs amounted to $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in labor costs was mainly attributable to lower production volumes driven by decreased sales and the Company’s efforts to reduce labor costs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased by 1.6%, to $5.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $5.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Gross profit margin increased by 1.0%, to 29.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from 28.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a reduction in fixed costs per unit as a result of the Company’s efforts in reducing labor costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by 22.6%, to $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $7.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The expense increase was primarily due to the increase in selling expenses of $0.5 million, the increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.01 million, and the increase in research and development expenses of $1.1 million.

Net Loss

Net loss increased by 240.7%, to $4.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $1.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
