Dear Shareholders,
Fiscal year 2024 was a defining year for Aeon Systems.
We completed our initial public offering in March, raising $840 million in gross proceeds and marking a significant milestone in the company's growth. The offering reflected the market's confidence in our platform, our team, and the durability of the companionship sector.
Revenue for the fiscal year reached $1.2 billion, an increase of 38% over the prior year. This growth was driven by continued expansion of our disembodied companion platform, which now serves over 2,400 institutional partners across healthcare, senior care, and residential markets, and by accelerating demand for our Aegis embodied companion program, which saw a 74% increase in contract initiations year over year.
We ended the year with 11,200 active companion contracts across both platforms and a companion satisfaction rate of 4.5 out of 5.0, consistent with the standard we have maintained since our earliest pilot programs.
Our investment in research and development remains central to our strategy. In 2024, we directed $18.4 million toward platform innovation, safety systems, and next-generation companion capabilities. As part of our ongoing commitment to operational efficiency, we consolidated several research functions under a unified R&D structure, allowing for more focused allocation of resources and clearer alignment with product priorities.
Looking ahead, we see substantial opportunity in international expansion, next-generation embodied platforms, and deepening partnerships with government agencies addressing the caregiving crisis. We are building for decades, not quarters, and we are grateful for your partnership on that journey.
Sincerely,
Matt Aldrich
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
