Insights

Financial Analyst

Zoomd Technologies' Q1.24 financial results reveal a significant turnaround, reflecting success in strategic refocusing. Key takeaways for investors include a $0.5M net income after six consecutive quarters of net loss, highlighting improved financial health. Revenue increased by 1% YoY and 16% QoQ, despite discontinuing non-aligned operations. These figures indicate effective cost management and a stronger market position.

The company's adjusted EBITDA rose to $1.2M, a notable $1M increase from Q1.23, demonstrating enhanced operational efficiency and profitability. The reduction in expenses further underscores this point. With an operating income of $0.6M and no long-term debt, Zoomd is well-positioned for sustainable growth. However, investors should watch for potential changes in gross profit margin, which dipped slightly to 39% from 40% in the previous year. This may point to pricing pressures or increased costs in core operations.

In summary: Zoomd's financial stability has substantially improved, but ongoing margin management will be important for long-term success.

Tech Expert

Zoomd's platform continues to integrate multiple media sources for streamlined campaign management. This consolidation offers advertisers significant savings by reducing integration costs and enhancing data insights. This advantage supports revenue growth and operational efficiency. Investors should note the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence as emphasized by the management. The reduction in research and development expenses by 26% suggests a strategic shift in resource allocation, possibly focusing on optimizing current technologies rather than expanding new ones.

Implications: This approach could enhance immediate financial performance but might limit long-term innovation if not balanced properly. Nonetheless, the company’s current trajectory appears positive, leveraging its technological strengths to improve overall market positioning.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights (All Figures in Thousands in USD)

• Although the Company discontinued several operations that no longer aligned with the Company's vision, the Company succeeded in increasing revenues in Q1.24 by 1% compared to Q1.23. Following the strategic actions executed by Company's management team, revenues have consistently increased quarter over quarter, with a 6% rise in Q4.23 and a 16% rise in Q1.24.
• Gross profit margin was 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, versus 40% for the same period in 2023.
• Research and Development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $0.7M, a 26% decrease QOQ. Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were $2.1M, a 33% decrease QOQ. The decrease in expenses is primarily attributed to strategic measures implemented by the Company's management team aimed at mitigating the impact on the Company's financial health and positioning the Company for sustainable growth.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $1.2M as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2M for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the strategic measures implemented noted above.

CAUTION REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company's presentation of this preliminary financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. This preliminary financial measure is intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company's estimated results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for share-based payments, and is a measure of a Company's operating performance. Essentially, it's a way to evaluate a Company's performance without having to factor in financing decisions, accounting decisions or tax environments.

Management uses this non-IFRS measure as a key metric in the evaluation of the Company's performance and the consolidated financial results. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their assessment of the operating performance and the valuation of the Company. However, non-IFRS financial measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and operating profit is available in Zoomd's MD&A located on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca which is incorporated by reference into this press release.
