“As we continue to explore strategic options for the Company we have continued our tight focus on operational efficiency and earnings generation to maximize cash generation,” said Steve Levely, CEO of Ackroo. “We see cash generation as a key focal point for the business so that we can pay down debt, buy back shares and overall increase the business value of Ackroo. We once again saw a decrease in one-time revenues from less card orders and new setup fees however we maintained our recurring revenues and increased our earnings substantially year over year delivering one of our best ever EBITDA quarters. At a time when inflation and interest rates are high we see our ability to continue to generate more cash while optimizing our product and operations becomes an important differentiator for Ackroo. On a year to date standpoint we are generating a great 33% of EBITDA as a percentage of revenue where as we head into our busiest quarter of the year we expect that trend to continue.”
