Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Transitioning ProActive and Premium logistics clients from the legacy shipping partner (FedEx) to a new Strategic Partner, following the termination of the prior carrier agreement in late 2025.
Expected impact: Restoring service volumes, improving gross margins (which reached 54% in Q1 2026), and driving sustainable organic revenue growth.
Transitioning key Premium logistics customers to a Direct Premium model, allowing VerifyMe to contract directly with clients and continue servicing them even if they ship via the legacy carrier.
Expected impact: Higher-margin direct contracts and retention of legacy customer relationships.
Managing cash resources through disciplined cost-cutting, maintaining zero borrowings on the PNC revolving credit line, and deploying excess cash into short-term interest-bearing instruments.
Expected impact: Improved interest income and strengthened near-term liquidity, ending Q1 2026 with $3.52 million in cash prior to the $2.08 million ZenCredit collection.
