Revenue and Net Profit Increased to $4.0 Million and $1.4 Million Respectively (Basic Earnings of $0.03 Per Share) with Technology-Driven Services Revenue Accounting for Approximately 43.8% of its Revenue
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Starbox Group Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: STBX) ("Starbox" or the "Company"), a service provider of cash rebates, digital advertising, and payment solutions with a goal of becoming a comprehensive AI solutions provider within Southeast Asia, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
Mr. Lee Choon Wooi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starbox, commented, "We are excited about the results we have accomplished for the first half of fiscal year 2023, where we saw robust growth across almost every key financial metric. Our revenue and net income grew for the first half of fiscal year 2023, demonstrating the fruition of our earlier investments in technology and successful execution of our strategic initiatives, namely new technology-driven services revenue via licensing and/or sale of our technologies. Moving forward, we expect to channel our efforts into continuous technological innovation as we believe technology such as artificial intelligence will be one of our key drivers for revenue growth for the foreseeable future. We plan to keep investing in our artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) engine, which we believe will revolutionize how people visualize ideas and provide invaluable tools for businesses across industries. We aim to disrupt the industry with our applications of AI technologies, thereby solidifying our market position, and generating long-term value for our shareholders."

First Half 2023 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue was $4.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 36.1% from $2.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increases in the revenue from our newly established software licensing service segment.
Revenue from digital advertising service was $2.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which decreased by 23.7% from $2.9 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was due to decreases in the number of advertisers for our services in the six months ended March 31, 2023.
Revenue from software licensing was $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company did not have revenue from software licensing for the same period of last year. On March 24, 2023, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Starbox Technologies Sdn. Bhd., entered into a software licensing agreement with Brandavision Sdn Bhd, a Malaysia company ("Brandavision"). The Company will develop a comprehensive data management system for Brandavision, grant them the access to its vast database, help train the staff of Brandavision with respect to its use and provide continuous technical support.
Revenue from cash rebate services was $10,621 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by 91.3% from $5,552 for the same period of last year.

Revenue from payment solution services was $4,303 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which decreased by 20.0% from $5,379 for the same period of last year.
Operating Cost
Operating costs were $2.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by 99.0% from $1.0 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the following reasons:
Salary and employee benefit expenses were $318,750 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $122,846 from $195,904 for the same period of last year, primarily due to an increase in the number of employees from 17 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 to 25 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, in order to handle the increase in business activities associated with the Company's digital advertising services, cash rebate services, and the newly expanded business in software licensing services.
Marketing and promotional expenses were $209,564 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $104,756 from $104,808 for the same period of last year, as a result of our increased marketing efforts to develop new merchants and advertisers for our services.
License costs were $30,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $4,941 from $25,059 for the same period of last year.
Website and facility maintenance expenses were $147,345 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $97,620 from $49,725 for the same period of last year, primarily because the Company incurred more costs to optimize and upgrade its IT system related to rebate calculation and AI calculation engine.
Utility and office expenses were $251,563 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $194,784 from $56,779 for the same period of last year, primarily due to increased office insurance expenses and increased office supply expenses resulting from an increased number of staff.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $193,662 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $149,515, from $44,147 for the same period of last year, mainly due to increased amortization of intangible assets.
Business travel and entertainment expenses were $71,479 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $53,957 from $17,522 for the same period of last year, due to the Company's increased efforts to expand its business operations into local and neighboring countries.
Others were $344,633 for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which increased by $304,175 from $40,458 for the same period of last year, primally due to (i) increased trademark expenses by $69,990 and (ii) increased bonus by $176,635.
