TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 26, 2025 / Adcore Inc. (the "Company" or "Adcore") (TSX:ADCO)(OTCQX:ADCOF)(FSE:ADQ), a global leader in marketing technology empowering businesses to maximize their digital marketing potential with its innovative AI-powered platform ("Marketing Cloud"), today announced its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
"Q4 was nothing short of a milestone moment for Adcore," said Omri Brill, Founder and CEO of Adcore. "We increased our revenue by 24% YoY, achieved our highest-ever quarterly gross profit of $3.9 million, achieved a 164% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $1.3 million, and tripled our Cash Flow from operating activities year-over-year to $3.8 million. These outstanding results are a testament to our team's relentless focus on performance, technology innovation, and global expansion."
Adcore also reported continued gains in operational efficiency, with gross margins climbing to 42% for the year and net income reaching $521 thousand in Q4, a significant 601% leap from just $74 thousand a year earlier.
"With $10.8 million in cash on hand, Adcore is entering 2025 from a position of strength," added Mr. Brill. "This strong financial footing enables us to double down on strategic growth initiatives, expand our international footprint, and continue enhancing our suite of marketing apps that are revolutionizing the way businesses advertise online."
Driven by growing demand for its solutions and a strong finish to 2024, Adcore is poised for a breakout year in 2025.
"The momentum we've built is undeniable. We are laser-focused on scaling our platform, delivering exceptional value to our clients, and creating long-term shareholder value," concluded Mr. Brill. "We believe Adcore's best days are ahead."

USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
Management uses Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as a key financial metric to evaluate Adcore's operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant items that are non-operating in nature in order to evaluate Adcore's core operating performance against prior periods. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net earnings, overall change in cash or liquidity of the business as a whole. Management believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company.
