Management Commentary
Ido Almany, CEO of Zoomd Technologies stated, "This quarter highlights Zoomd's ongoing transformation and resilience, with a 135% year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue to $16.7 million and a 20% growth from Q2. This performance reflects the strength of our core business and our ability to capitalize on unique opportunities, including one-time client events such as the EURO football campaign. Importantly, this 20% revenue growth drove an approximately 50% increase in Net Income compared to the prior quarter, highlighting our disciplined cost management and operational efficiency.
Our Net Income reached $3.2 million, marking our sixth consecutive quarter of profitability. Adjusted EBITDA surged over 500% year-over-year to $3.9 million for the quarter, contributing to a total of $8.1 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2024.
These achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our board and the hard work and dedication of our leadership team and their teams across the organization.
We remain steadfast in prioritizing profitability and operational efficiency over outright revenue growth as core elements of our strategy."
Amit Bohensky, Chairman of Zoomd Technologies stated, "We are immensely proud of Zoomd's remarkable performance, reflecting the hard work and dedication of all members of our team.
The market has rewarded the successful execution of our strategic plan, which prioritizes profitability and operational efficiency over outright revenue growth. Despite our strong stock performance, we believe that our financial multiples indicate significant headroom for growth. Our P/E, P/S, and EV/EBITDA ratios remain notably below industry benchmarks, which we believe underscores the substantial value and potential that Zoomd offers.
We remain committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders."

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.
