Management Commentary

Ofer Eitan, CEO stated “After six consecutive quarters of year over year growth, the third quarter proved challenging due to the recent global slowdown, especially in areas of Fintech and Crypto. Advertising is one of the first areas that companies cut back on when uncertainties arise, and we are not immune to that phenomenon. Despite a difficult third quarter, we continue to be cash flow positive on an annual basis, and on pace to grow our revenue roughly 5% YOY in 2022.

I am happy to say that we are seeing customers slowing the rate of advertising budgets cuts, and in many cases beginning to increase budgets. While revenues in 4Q22 will still be below last year’s levels, we remain optimistic about Zoomd’s long-term growth prospects, and our focus remains to increase our market share while strengthening our balance sheet.

Despite the macroeconomic challenges, our current clients are continuing to be pleased with the results that Zoomd brings to their user acquisition efforts. In the fourth quarter, we have been successful in acquiring new customers, and our prospective customer pipeline remains solid.

The integration of Albert, an artificial intelligence marketing platform for advertisers, is now complete. Albert drives fully autonomous digital campaigns for some of the world’s leading brands, including fortune 500 companies. We have now begun cross-selling our services, which has been received well.

The launch of our self-serve products has been successful and customer adoption has exceeded our expectations. Our self-serve products unlock our capacity to attract more small and mid-range customers and to generate ongoing recuring revenues and provide the customers software-only nature and little reliance on human capital.

We remain excited about our future growth prospects, including the expansion of our self-serve products.”

Fiscal 2022 Outlook Update

Zoomd expects revenues in fiscal 2022 revenues to grow roughly 5% year-over-year. The revised outlook reflects the global financial slowdown which is affecting advertising budgets. The outlook is based on assumptions, each of which management considers to be reasonable, which are set out in the MD&A.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (All Figures in Thousands in USD)

• For the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenues were $9,790, as compared to $15,961 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of 39% year-over-year. The decrease in revenues is primarily a result of global macroeconomic conditions that impact client advertising budgets especially in areas of Fintech and Cryptocurrency.
• Gross profit margin was 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, versus 29% for the same period last year, reflecting lower social media advertising portion that is typically has lower profit margins.
• Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $1,446, a 21% increase YOY, primarily reflecting salaries and retention payments to Albert employees and former share holders.
• Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $3,071, a 25% increase YOY, primarily reflecting increases in expenses incurred as a result of the acquisition of Albert.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $15 as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $1,647 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributed to the decrease in revenue.
• Operating loss was $1.4M for Q3 2022, compared to an operating profit of $961K in Q3 2021, and was primarily attributed to the decrease in revenues, salaries and retention payments made to Albert’s former employees which have joined Zoomd, as well as payments made in connection with the acquisition of Albert, including payments upon the achievement of certain performance metrics.
• As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3.4 million, and no long-term debt.
• On March 28, 2022, the Company announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Albert Technologies Ltd. and Albert Technologies’ Inc in a cash and share deal.

CAUTION REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to “Adjusted EBITDA” and “ARR” which are non-IFRS financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company’s presentation of these financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These measures are intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company’s 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. ARR provides an indication of the subscription revenue from customers that is expected from continued usage per the term of contract signed, and as such management believes ARR to be a meaningful measure for assessment of Company performance. Key assumptions related to ARR figures are from continued usage of the services over the life of the agreement, with the calculation based on the annual average of subscription revenues over the life of the agreement.

Management uses these non-IFRS measures as key metrics 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, and ARR is useful to assess the success of its self-serve tools, subject to the assumptions noted above. 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.sedar.com which is incorporated by reference into this press release.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current assumptions, estimates, expectations and projections that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
