(together “SST”) as if the SST acquisition had closed on January 1, 2020.

Pittsburgh, PA, Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOMO WORLDWIDE, INC. (US OTC: FOMC) today reannounces and clarifies for investors that the Company generated roughly $8.8 million pro forma revenues in 2022 (consolidated and unaudited), up from $4.3 million in 2021 and $3.2 million in 2020, representing annual pro forma growth of 137% and a high double digit % compound annual growth rate (CAGR). On a reported basis, 2022 revenues grew over 1,000% from the prior year. Gains were primarily driven by strong K12 demand. Orders that had been largely unfulfilled due to pandemic closures and supply chain constraints led to record backlog at FOMO’s primary subsidiary SMARTSolution Technologies LP and SMARTSolution Technologies, Inc. (“SST”) acquired on February 28, 2022.

In the period, SST’s equipment sales were roughly $8.3 million (93%), service and installation revenues were roughly $529,000 (6.9%), and shipping and other revenues were roughly $16,000 (0.1%). SST’s 2022 pro forma gross profit was $1.32 million (14.9%), impacted by inventory adjustments. Excluding write-downs and charges of roughly $272,000, SST’s pro forma adjusted gross profit was $1.59 million (18%). SST’s pro forma EBITDA excluding inventory charges, private company audit fees, one time professional fees, and interest expenses, was roughly $648,000 (7.3%). Capital expenditures were minimal and adding back non-recurring items but including interest expense, SST’s 2022 unaudited pro forma unaudited adjusted net income was roughly $267,000. These figures exclude public company expenses and the impact of the rebranding of our clean tech business.

During 2022, SST’s business benefited from its diamond reseller status with its primary vendor, whose lead product is interactive flat panels (IFP’s) commonly referred to in the industry as “Smart Boards”. During the year, SST’s average deal size increased significantly and helped drive revenues to near record levels for a 12 month period. Key wins included an order for over 250 IFP’s from school district in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan area with a total value of $1.3 million. To build its business, SST is broadening its outreach beyond K12 schools. For example, SST recently won business with a fraternal order police department, a large Allegheny County correctional institution, professional sports franchises in the city, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, a Big East university, and other post-secondary institutions. Evolution of order flow beyond K12 is critical to success at SST as the business exits 2022 and looks to accelerate growth and improve profitability. The Company is also looking to cross-sell clean technologies, aquaponics, digital signage, and other products to diversify its revenue mix.
