Next Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: NXGH), a FinTech service provider delivering mobile banking, prepaid debit and credit and telecommunications services to underbanked and underserved communities, announced record revenue for fiscal year (FY) 2017 reaching more than $53.8 million, a more than 52-fold increase over revenue for FY2016.

In total, the Company was able to retire over $10.8 Million in debt.

NXGH's total revenue for fiscal year 2017 wasa record $53.8 million compared to $1.0 million for fiscal year 2016. This yields a 52.3 times increase in annual revenue for 2017 versus 2016. The gross profit for FY2017 was $2.4 million versus a loss of $31,000 for FY 2016.
Net loss before non-controlling interest for the year ending December 31, 2017 was $0.7 million, compared to a loss of $10.0 million for the same period of 2016.

"After several successful acquisitions, and retirement of all convertible debt, I am very pleased from the results," stated Arik Maimon, Founder & CEO of NXGH. "Now after our auditors have removed the Going Concern for the company on both the 10k and 10Q filings, I am extremely confident that NXGH will have a very strong future to bring significant value to its shareholders. Our Business plan has been clear since day one and now management has been proven to be able to handle any challenge along the way."
