Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2023) - ParcelPal Logistics Inc. (OTCQB: PTNYF) (CSE: PKG) (FSE: PT0A) (the "Company" or "ParcelPal"), is pleased to announce its record Q2 2023 financial results highlighted by revenue growth of 17% (to approximately $2.9M), record gross margins of 27% and a 92% decrease in net loss (from $1.4M in Q2 2022 to $110K in Q2 2023). It is important to note that this was our largest Q2 of gross revenue and highest ever gross margins, and our fourth largest quarter of gross revenues in the history of the Company, with the largest being Q4 2022 (which was $3.4M). Additionally, it is important to remember: the back half of our year is when the Company has traditionally generated the lion's share of its revenue, and we anticipate this trend to continue from years past. It is very possible that with additional operational efficiencies that we have been implementing, one or both of the two final quarters of 2023 will be fully profitable. Simply, this is substantial and very positive operational progress.

Overview

In Q2 2023, the Company achieved its fourth largest quarter of revenue ever, which was driven by revenue growth of 17% to approximately $2.9 million (up from $2.5 million in Q2 2022). Our gross margins for Q2 were a record 26.9% (compared to 23.4% in Q2 2022). Additionally, the Company had a net loss of only $110,379 compared to Q2 2022 which was $1,438,648 (a 92% decrease in net loss). It is important to note that approximately $300K of non-cash related items, such as amortization and one-time share issuances drove the small net loss in Q2 2023.

We are very pleased with the positive trends in our business operations in the United States, which became profitable beginning in June 2023 and which we believe will continue to be profitable moving forward.

Our revenue growth and continued record margins are, in large measure, driven by our expansion into the United States, which is the world's largest consumer market, combined with improved operating efficiencies.

ParcelPal's CEO Rich Wheeless stated: "The business side of the Company has never been in a better position than it has been under my three and a half year tenure, despite what has been a volatile economy. We hit another major milestone with the United States side being fully net profitable for the full 2^nd quarter across all divisions for the first time in the history of the Company, which we believe will continue moving forward. I also note that we, as a publicly traded company, have been operating in an extremely challenging stock market for small and microcap stocks. These broader market conditions have negatively affected our stock price, and the intrinsic market value of our Company has not been recognized. We fully intend to bring this positive growth and expansion story more fully to the market to attain greater shareholder value. Despite these headwinds, we have expanded and achieved record growth and I am extremely excited about the additional opportunities that are in front of us, which I believe will allow us to continually expand the business on a profitable basis, and I look forward to getting our Canadian operations fully profitable in the near term."
