A failure to convert pilot projects into paying customers is keeping Ottawa-based Leonovus (TSX-V:LTV) in the red, according to the firm’s third-quarter earnings released Monday.
The firm, which develops software to help optimize companies’ storage, reported nil revenues for the three months ending Sept. 30. Through reduced operating expenses, the company trimmed its net loss for the quarter to roughly $1 million, down from $1.4 million a year previous.
Leonovus said last year that it expected revenues to start flowing from three projects it was implementing with an unnamed major Canadian bank. The firm now says it doesn’t expect to convert any of those pilots into paying deals, citing turnover at the bank and changes in its internal technology.
