Appen's earnings call highlighted positive growth in revenue, particularly driven by the China market and cost efficiency initiatives. However, challenges remain due to losses in EBITDA, volatility in the U.S. market, and uncertainty in large LLM projects. The strong cash position and positive contributions from the China market provide a solid foundation for future growth.

Company Guidance

In the recent call, Appen provided detailed guidance for the fiscal year 2025, focusing on several key metrics and strategic initiatives. The company reported a 2% year-on-year revenue growth to USD 102.1 million, excluding the impact of Google, with 24% of this revenue coming from generative AI-related projects. Appen highlighted a significant 67% increase in revenue from China, achieving an annualized run rate exceeding $100 million by the half's end. The company has identified $10 million in annualized cost efficiencies in its non-China business, with 70% of these expected to be realized by the end of Q3 FY '25. Appen also mentioned an additional $4 million in annualized OpEx savings due to the wind-down of U.S. Government division investments. Despite a loss of $2.2 million in group underlying EBITDA before FX, the company remains focused on achieving EBITDA positivity for the full year. Appen reaffirmed its FY '25 revenue guidance towards the low end of the $235 million to $260 million range, supported by strong customer relationships and market differentiation in multilingual speech training data and large language model evaluation.
