POMPANO BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2024 / Xcyte Digital Corp. (TSXV:XCYT) ("Xcyte" or the "Company"), a trusted global events technology company, specializing in next-generation event solutions, announces that it has filed unaudited interim financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") on SEDAR+ for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024. All dollar amounts are denominated in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The Company also announces that it has filed an amended and restated MD&A on SEDAR+ for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 as an incorrect version was inadvertently filed earlier today.
Q3 Fiscal 2024 (June) Highlights
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported revenue of $0.46 million, EBITDA of $-0.451 million, and net loss of $0.46 million. During Q3, A+ contributed revenues of $0.24 million, and EBITDA of $36,000. The Company continues to focus on eliminating redundant expenses from its newly acquired A+ operations and expects higher contributed EBITDA from A+ in Q4 and onwards. As the asset acquisition closed on April 3, 2024, Q3 benefited from A+'s contribution for approximately the entire period. A+ generated $1.4 million in annual revenue and $207,000 normalized EBITDA2 during 2023.
"Q3 marked an important point in Xcyte's evolution as reported revenue grew 130% sequentially this quarter. Q3 included nearly a full quarter of contribution from A+, which closed on April 3rd; however, we are still completing the integration and reducing the operating expenses of the A+ division and expect all redundant expenses to be eliminated and further synergies to be realized in Q4," said Randy Selman, CEO of Xcyte. "We also expect Q4 to include strong contribution from the Webinar.net assets, which we purchased on July 10th. As result, we expect a similar level of sequential revenue growth."
Subsequent Events
On July 10, 2024, Xcyte closed the purchase of the Webinar.net assets. As a result, Q3 did not realize any revenue contribution from this acquisition. Q4 will benefit from Webinar.net's contribution for almost the entire period. The assets of Webinar.net generated $2.8 million annual revenue and EBITDA (unaudited)3 of $0.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
Outlook and Management Commentary
During the remainder of FY 2024 and into FY 2025, the Company intends to continue its organic and potential M&A growth strategy, having already acquired the business of A+ in April 2024 and having completed an asset purchase agreement with Webinar.net, which closed in July 2024. In addition, in June 2024, the Company completed a share exchange and asset purchase agreement with MCON Live, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("MCON"), which hosts various annual events that bring the military community together.
The Company also continues to focus on its longer-term goals and objectives, including its new subscription service which launched in May 2024 (the "Xperience Subscription Service"), and providing an all-in-one subscription service for hosting events. The Company plans on expanding the Xperience Subscription Service in the coming months to include additional partners, clients and events.
