Ackroo Inc. has filed its financial results for the period ended March 31, 2023. The Company is pleased to report record quarterly revenues of $1,825,486 including $1,613,199 of subscription revenue. The results represent a 17 per cent increase in total revenue and 19 per cent increase in subscription revenue over the same period in 2022. The Company also achieved $451,424 of positive adjusted EBITDA during the quarter representing a year over year increase of 86 per cent and equates to 25 per cent of total revenues. The Company began normalizing and integrating its latest acquisition of Simpliconnect, divested of GGGolf, and paid off $269,210 of debt/liabilities during the period. Ackroo continues to be focused on simplifying its operations and generating positive cash flow in order to continue these trends in future quarters.

The complete financial results for Ackroo, along with management's discussion and analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, are available under the profile for the Company at www.sedar.com. Highlights include:

"We accomplished a lot in the first quarter of 2023 which helps position us to meet and ideally exceed many of our goals this year," said Steve Levely, CEO of Ackroo. "As we continue our tight focus on simplifying and optimizing our business, it is critical that we complete certain tasks and deliver on specific goals we have for the business. Our divesture of GGGolf is a very good example of our plans to simplify the business by reducing complimentary products that have been a challenge to manage and grow for us. We then focused on optimizing our AckrooMKTG business by acquiring Simpliconnect in order to expand both into the US market and into the Petroleum/Convenience verticals that are important growth sectors for us. As an acquisition first, organic growth second focused business, we naturally have technical debt accumulated in the business so we did and continue to focus on migration of legacy platforms and swift normalization of acquired assets. We made great strides in both of those areas in Q1 and expect to take even bigger steps in Q2 so that we can get even more focused on growth initiatives in Q3 onwards. We continued our focus on improving Ackroo's finance and operations by adding key talent in those areas in Q4 of 2022 and Q1 of 2023 while getting the full leadership team involved in tight financial management and optimizing operations across the business. Finally, our largest accomplishment during the period was the Company hitting the "rule of 40" by delivering a great 25 per cent EBITDA as a percentage of revenue while growing our revenues year over year by 17 per cent. The rule of 40 is a SaaS financial ratio where the best SaaS companies have a combined growth rate and profit margin of 40 per cent or more. Seeing Ackroo exceed that in Q1 has us really bullish on what the future holds for Ackroo, our clients and our shareholders."
