"Q4 marked the end of what was an extremely busy quarter. Despite the continued and profound challenges posed by the resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic, I am very proud of our team's dedication and focus on executing our strategy. This led to an epic fourth quarter of growth, which clearly demonstrates how far we have come and how strong our foundation is heading into 2022. We have continued to see these trends throughout January, giving us even more confidence in the sustainability of our current growth trajectory, not only from selling to new clients and industries, but from increasing our sales with existing clients at home and overseas. Our strong debt free balance sheet provides us with flexibility to add elements to our strategy in unparalleled and transformational ways. Our recent announcement on acquiring Gambit Rewards is one such example of the steps we are taking to enhance our strategy of profitable growth. We look forward to sharing more on Gambit Rewards and how it will further strengthen our ability to offer more solutions around our platform to our existing clients, as well as attracting a new genre of clients that will further drive our expansion, both in the short and long term." said Atul Sabharwal, Founder of Snipp.

Non-GAAP Measures
Snipp uses certain performance measures throughout this document that are not recognizable under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles or IFRS ("GAAP"). These performance measures include Gross Margin and EBITDA. Management believes that these measures provide supplemental financial information that is useful in the evaluation of the Company's operations.
Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and IFRS as an indicator of Snipp's performance. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from that of other organizations, and accordingly, these may not be comparable.
EBITDA
Snipp defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash operating expenses of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses).
Gross Margin
Snipp defines Gross Margin as revenue less campaign infrastructure. The Company's calculation of Gross Margin is not a financial measure that is recognized under GAAP. Investors should be cautioned that the Company's defined Gross Margin should not be construed as an alternative measure to other measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
Bookings Backlog
Snipp defines Bookings Backlog as future revenue from existing customer contracts to be recognized in future quarters. Bookings get translated into revenues based on IFRS principles and the Bookings Backlog reflects how revenues in future quarters are steadily being booked today.
