“We are very happy with the continued growth and our strong adjusted EBITDA and general business management we are delivering,” said Steve Levely, CEO of Ackroo. “To start the year, we had a goal of double-digit growth while maintaining a 20% plus adjusted EBITDA business, so it is great to see us half way through the year and on track to deliver. We also had aggressive goals to clear various debts and liabilities in the business to further improve the balance sheet where we were happy to have fully paid off a large debt settlement agreement at the end of June while also paying off the full balance of payments owed to our acquisition of Simpliconnect. Those two payments total more than $1 million of debt/liability paid off during the period leaving us with just our loan from BDC as the only material debt that Ackroo has to service. On the Simpliconnect front we took significant steps forward in the normalization of that new business with many operational changes and the advancement of the technology in areas like brand loyalty which is an exciting new area for Ackroo. We also made sure to advance our core AckrooMKTG platform with more data being provided and advancing tools within the Ackroo self-serve program console used by our merchants. We took our first steps into Artificial Intelligence “AI” into our product with the introduction of code completion and code generation tools. These tools allow us to drastically increase our speed by automatically completing certain code writing tasks in order to enhance various functionalities in our technology. In the future we foresee us implementing AI tools to provide predictive insights for merchants to help guide them with their loyalty marketing efforts so an exciting next step for AckrooWe did all this while still managing a strong EBITDA as a percentage of revenue and growing our recurring and total revenues. We finished the quarter with a continued focus on capital allocation where in looking at our growing M&A funnel we realized the best opportunity for our next acquisition is actually our own stock. As we continue to generate cash for the business, we recognized buying back our own stock right now would be a wise use of capital and so for the first time we initiated an NCIB. We are very pleased with our first half of 2023 results and are looking forward to a very strong second half of the year.”
