  • Improved Adjusted EBITDA*: For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period prior year, Adjusted EBITDA loss was $2,981,037 representing an EBITDA improvement of $938,650 or 24% driven by strong revenue growth offset by certain higher operating expenses related to the operation of four new channels .
  • Net Loss: Net Loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022, increased by $1,200,468 or 49%, driven by one time impairment of goodwill offset by gain on remeasurement of contingent consideration, revenue growth and expansion of all operating business units. When impairment of goodwill and gain on remeasurement of contingent consideration are normalized, net loss decreased by 43%.
  • Cash Balance: The Company concluded the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 with cash of $3,510,951 compared to December 31, 2021 cash of $6,548,890.

QYOU Media CEO and Co-Founder, Curt Marvis commented, "2022 was a year of spectacular growth for our business.  Even while taking a more conservative approach in Q4 2022 to certain revenue growth and investment initiatives to help facilitate an accelerated push in 2023 to cash flow positive operations, we nevertheless delivered another record revenue quarter and over 100% annual revenue growth with over 50% Adjusted EBITDA improvement. 2023 is continuing on this path as we continue to work diligently on delivering increasingly strong topline and bottom line results moving forward. We remain confident that the public markets will ultimately recognize the strength of our business and over time reward us for the accomplishments to date and those expected throughout 2023."

Note on Adjusted EBITDA:

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), we present Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") which is a non-IFRS financial measure. The presentation of non-IFRS financial measurement are not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, operating loss or net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to net

cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of cash flows or liquidity.

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash and or non-recurring operating expenses of stock-based compensation, marketing credits, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses). Adjusted EBITDA is used as an internal measure to evaluate the performance of our operating segments. We believe that information about this non-IFRS financial measure assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect operating income (loss) and net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and other factors that affect reported results. A limitation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in our business. Furthermore, this measure may vary among companies; thus Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
