Management Commentary

The strong momentum of 2021 has maintained through 1Q22, as we achieved another robust quarter. Our partners are continuing to increase their budgets with us, and we have a powerful pipeline of new customers. Our user acquisition platform has been integral in enabling to manage multiple campaigns from one place, allowing time saving and efficiency with real-time control. Our platforms enable our customers to grow their UA with limited additional resources, giving the ability to scale immediately by demand. Our growth is coming from burgeoning sectors such as Ecommerce, Education (new targeted vertical), iGaming, Gaming and Fintech, and hypergrowth geographies such as Latin America, Asia, and North America, while we see increase within North America clienteles via the Albert.ai acquisition. In March 2022, the Company announced the acquisition of Albert, a U.S.-based artificial intelligence marketing platform for advertisers, driving fully autonomous digital campaigns for some of the world’s leading brands, that will now be able to use the Company’s products and services. The acquisition is aligned with the Company strategy to provide customers a variety of business models including self-serve abilities. Considering small and mid-market businesses, the self-serve abilities are an upper hand for scaling without the need of massive HR growth.

Our visibility into revenues going forward is to maintain our 2022 revenue guidance range of $74M to $80M, which represents approximately 40% – 50% year over year growth, details of which are set out in the MD&A.

“We are very pleased with the continued robust pace of our business, as we see strong demand for our user-acquisition activities from both new and existing clients” said Ofer Eitan, Zoomd’s CEO, adding “Companies are seeing the results and value of our unique activity and are further allocating larger portion of their user acquisition budgets to Zoomd. While we are happy with our current pace of growth, we believe that our ability to execute in various verticals, geos, plus different business models while we make our platforms accessible for self-serve use, can bring us to the next level even further than expected. Almost every UA challenge will find a solution under our wings, hoping to become the last user acquisition platform that our customer will ever use.”

The increase in revenues is primarily the result of customer acquisitions in the growth sectors such as e-commerce, education (new targeted vertical), fintech, and gaming as well as expansion in new geographies such as Latin America, Asia, and North America, targeting specific growth potential countries. In addition, our existing customers have allocated an increasing portion of their user acquisition budgets to Zoomd, as they have witnessed strong ROI on their spending.

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 non-recurring operating expenses, 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.sedar.com which is incorporated by reference into this press release.
