Management Commentary

Under the guidance of our new CEO, Ido Almany, we are currently undertaking a thorough analysis and evaluation of each business line and supporting operations with the objective of consolidating and significantly streamlining our cost structure. We have identified several areas of inefficiency that are currently under active discussion by management and awaiting subsequent approval from the board. As of the date hereof, a final decision has not been made, and discussions are still currently underway. We anticipate that final decisions on each business line and supporting operations will be made imminently. Once these decisions are finalized and the corresponding measures are implemented, we believe they will lead to improved bottom line and increased cash flow for the Company.”

 

First Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $6 million, a 47% decline relative to Q1 2022. The decrease in revenues is primarily as a result of global macroeconomic conditions that impact client advertising budgets in general and especially in areas of Fintech and in particular Cryptocurrency.
  • Gross profit margin was 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, versus 30% for the same period last year, reflecting lower revenues from the cryptocurrency segment which carries lower margins.
  • Research and Development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $1.2M, a 20% decrease relative to Q1 2022, reflecting lower deprecation and other R&D expenses.
  • Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $3.1M, a 16% increase YOY, primarily reflecting increases in expenses incurred as a result of new employees joining the Company, primarily after the acquisition of Albert.
  • Other expenses – Impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are software costs write off in the amount of $2.8M.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $0.2M as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $1.9M for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributed to the decrease in revenue.
  • Operating loss was $3.5M for Q1 2023, compared to an operating profit of $0.9M in Q1 2022, and was primarily attributable to the impairment of intangible assets, which are the software costs write off.
  • As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2.7 million, and no long-term debt.
  • On March 28, 2022, the Company announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Albert Technologies Ltd. and Albert Technologies’ Inc in a cash and share deal. As partial consideration for certain of Albert’s employees hired by the Company, the Company has entered into certain shares for services arrangements with such employees totaling up to $0.2M worth of company shares, to be issued upon the completion of the services to the Company and using the price per share at the time of issuance.

CAUTION REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

This press release refers to “Adjusted EBITDA” which is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company’s presentation of this preliminary financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. This preliminary financial measure is intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company’s estimated results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for share-based payments and one-time non-operating expenses and is a measure of a company’s operating performance. Essentially, it’s a way to evaluate a company’s performance without having to factor in financing decisions, accounting decisions or tax environments.

 

Management uses this non-IFRS measure as a key metric in the evaluation of the Company’s performance and the consolidated financial results. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their assessment of the operating performance and the valuation of the Company. However, non-IFRS financial measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and operating profit is available in Zoomd’s MD&A located on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com which is incorporated by reference into this press release.

Press Release

ZOOMD REPORTS Q1 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS HIGHLIGHTED BY STRONG GROSS MARGINS. MAINTAINS 2021 REVENUE GROWTH GUIDANCE OF 30% TO 40%

Financial Results Key Highlights & Outlook

  • Maintains 2021 revenue growth guidance of 30% to 40%, reflecting the strong post-pandemic market recovery, the onboarding of new clients, the launch of new product lines, and strategic M&A activity.

  • Gross profit margin increased roughly 17% from 30% to 35%, primarily due to focusing on more profitable customers.

  • Over the past 9 months, the Company has diversified its customer base with the onboarding of customers operating in industries to areas such as fintech, entertainment, and ecommerce. In addition, sectors that were shut down during the pandemic and are reopening, such as sports, are benefiting existing customers.

  • Beginning to see the positive impact of “Performance Revenues” acquisition.

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 1, 2021 – Zoomd Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: ZOMD) (OTC: ZMDTF) (https://wordpressmu-935437-3249329.cloudwaysapps.com) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zoomd Ltd. (collectively, “Zoomd” or the “Company”), the marketing tech (MarTech) user-acquisition and engagement platform, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company’s profile.

 

“We are excited to return to sustainable revenue growth as our clients expand their advertising budgets to pre-COVID levels” said Ofer Eitan, Zoomd’s CEO, adding “Over the last nine months we have been successful in acquiring new customers in growing industries such as fintech and e-commerce. We expect our newly acquired customers to increase their activity with us during 2021. Our organic growth in the upcoming months, combined with our integration of the Performance Revenues acquisition and ongoing M&A discussions, lead us to maintain our 2021 revenue growth guidance. Furthermore, we are proud of the strong gross margins achieved during the first quarter, which are the result of our focus on profitable activities and our efforts to diversify our customer base.”

Platform Update

During Q1-2021, Zoomd released self-serve products such as Performance, Premium channels, and DSP. The self-serve products save Zoomd’s advertising customers money, time and resources in the ad buying, optimization process and general campaign management, by uniting all of the client’s advertising campaigns under a single central dashboard, allocating budget and providing data on the user acquisition capabilities across various digital channels.

Acquisition of Performance Revenues

On February 9, 2021, Zoomd acquired Performance Revenues, a leading international mobile marketing and influencer company, providing a variety of performance-based marketing solutions led by a team of professional marketers, media buyers and account managers. Zoomd believes that it is able to leverage the people, talent, and clients acquired through this acquisition to drive growth in the future by realizing certain synergies between the platforms.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 HIGHLIGHTS (ALL FIGURES ARE IN USD)

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenues amounted to $6,776, as compared to $6,513 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately 4% year over year. The increase in revenues is primarily a result of the onboarding new customers in the second half of 2020 and an increase of online media and marketing budgets for some of our top 10 customers. In addition, during the period, the Company added numerous clients to its platform, with smaller initial budgets that the Company expect to increase in the coming months.
  • Gross profit was 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, roughly 17% increase from 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the Company’s decision to disengage from less profitable customers and general client base diversification, thereby not connecting the Company’s performance to any specific industry.
  • Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1.96 million, roughly flat YOY, as increased advertising expense was offset by a decrease in G&A spending. Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased 31% YOY reflecting the capitalization of software development costs.
  • EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $90 The YOY increase is attributed to the increase in revenue, capitalization of software and the improvement in the gross profit margin, all of which carried the Company to positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time since it became publicly traded. “EBITDA” is a non-GAAP and non-IFRS financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP or IFRS – please see “Non-IFRS Measures” below.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Operating Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Three months ended
March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020
Operating loss (638) (1,514)
Depreciation and amortization 643 619
EBITDA 5 (895)
Adjustment:
Cost of share-based payments 58 48
Adjusted EBITDA 63 (847)

 

  • As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $4 million, and no debt.

 

2021 Growth Expectations (ALL FIGURES ARE IN USD)

The Company is maintaining its revenue outlook of $25 million to $36 million for the year ending December 31, 2021, representing growth of 30% to 40% YOY. This outlook reflects the following assumptions which management believes are reasonable:

  • Organic Growth – Management estimates that at least $4 million or approximately 40% of the revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2021 to be caused primarily from the existing business model where the key drivers are:
    • New customers acquired primarily during the second half of 2020 through to the beginning of the year 2021, which are expected to increase their marketing budgets as they become more familiar with the platform, the services and the results.
    • New customers acquired by the newly launched Self-Served products: Performance, Premium channels, and DSP.
    • Post-COVID online advertising demand surge, especially from sectors that were shut down during the height of the pandemic and are beginning to reopen, such as sports.
    • Geographical expansion in India, East Europe, the Philippines, and Japan announced earlier this year.
  • Mergers and Acquisitions – Management estimates that up to $6 million or 60% of the revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2021 to be caused primarily as a result of acquisitions of carefully selected target companies that in line with the Company’s business, strategy, and vision. The Company’s acquisition of “Performance Revenues” that was announced on February 10, 2021 already factors into the above expectation as management believes it will bear a positive impact on its revenue growth in 2021. In addition, the Company has announced that it is engaged in series of discussions for potential acquisitions during 2021.

The above forward-looking financial information was approved by the Company in connection with the filing of the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2020.

VANCOUVER, British ColumbiaApril 20, 2021 – Zoomd Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: ZOMD) (OTC: ZMDTF) (https://wordpressmu-935437-3249329.cloudwaysapps.com) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zoomd Ltd. (collectively, “Zoomd” or the “Company”), the marketing tech (MarTech) user-acquisition and engagement platform, today reported its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company’s profile.

 

“We believe Zoomd has positioned itself well to grow revenues and profitability in 2021, despite a challenging 2020 that effected our clients’ advertising budgets” said Ofer Eitan, Zoomd’s CEO, adding “In the past 12 months our team worked diligently to build our new platforms, SaaS strategy and adding to our client base in verticals such as fintech, delivery, and ecommerce. The results from these targeted activities are already reflected in the preliminary results we have received for 2021.”

Saas Platform Update

On January 6, 2021, Zoomd announced the official launch of its self-serve SaaS platform. The platform is targeted to provide an advertiser with an artificial machine that uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and prediction and automation technology as the basis for the user platform. The Company believes that this platform will save its advertising customers money, time and resources in the ad buying and optimization process, by uniting all of the user’s advertising campaigns under a single central dashboard, allocate budget and provide data abilities providing full user acquisition capabilities across various premium digital channels.

Acquisition of Performance Revenues

On February 9, 2021, Zoomd acquired Performance Revenues, a leading international mobile marketing and influencer company, providing a variety of performance-based marketing solutions led by a team of professional marketers, designers, media buyers, and account managers. Zoomd believes that it will be able to leverage the people, talent, and clients acquired through this acquisition to drive growth in the future by realizing certain synergies between the platforms.

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 HIGHLIGHTS (ALL FIGURES ARE IN USD)

  • Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $6.6 million compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of 12%. While many customers have begun to return their budgets to pre-COVID levels, there are still other companies in the sports and events verticals who have yet to see their businesses recover. In addition, during the fourth quarter, Zoomd chose to decrease engagement levels with two major customers that were not profitable. Revenue growth was positively affected by the onboarding of new customers, although at modest initial budgets.
  • Gross profit margin (revenue less cost of sales and services) increased approximately 3.5% during the year to be 33% compared to 29% for the same period in 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the Company’s decision to disengage from non-profitable customers, as mentioned above.
  • Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $1.2 million, a 18% decline compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to the capitalization of software development costs during the fourth quarter of 2020.
  • Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased 6% to $1.8 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to general cost cutting efforts as the Company focuses more intently on profitability.
  • As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5 million, and no debt.

 

2021 Growth Expectations (ALL FIGURES ARE IN USD)

The Company has also announced its revenue outlook for the year ending December 31, 2021 and anticipates revenue growth between 30% to 40% from $25.4 million up to $35.6 million. This outlook reflects the following assumptions which management believes are reasonable:

  • Organic Growth – Management estimates that at least $4 million or approximately 40% of the revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2021 to be caused primarily from the existing business model where the key drivers are:
    • New customers acquired primarily during the second half of 2020 through to the beginning of the year 2021, which are expected to increase their marketing spend as they become more familiar with the platform, the services and the results.
    • New customers that management expects to acquire as a result of the newly launched self-served SaaS platform for online campaign management and the recently announced white-labeled DSP (Demand Side Platform) programmable advertising service.
    • Post-COVID online advertising demand surge, especially from sectors that were shut down during the height of the pandemic and are beginning to reopen, such as sports.
    • Geographical expansion in India, East Europe, the Philippines, and Japan announced earlier this year.
  • Mergers and Acquisitions – Management estimates that up to $6 million or 60% of the revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2021 to be caused primarily as a result of acquisitions of carefully selected target companies that in line with the Company’s business, strategy, and vision. The Company’s acquisition of “Performance Revenues” that was announced on February 10, 2021 already factors into the above expectation as management believes it will bear a positive impact on its revenue growth in 2021. In addition, the Company has announced that it is engaged in series of discussions for potential acquisitions during 2021.

The above forward-looking financial information was approved by the Company in connection with the filing of the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2020.
