VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomd Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: ZOMD) (OTC: ZMDTF) ("Zoomd" or the "Company"), a leading provider of an online advertising robust marketing platform that focuses on improving customers user acquisition campaigns, reported its financial results for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 today. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.

Ofer Eitan, Zoomd's CEO, commented, "we achieved a new record in Q3 2021 as our focus on diversifying our client base, both with respect to sectors and geographies, is beginning to bear fruit. We are seeing a surge in budgets from our legacy clients that are looking to expand their acquisition sources, as the post-pandemic recovery continues and privacy limitations start affecting advertisers ROI's. The strong revenue growth is producing positive adjusted EBITDA and cash flows, demonstrating the strength of our business and strategic positioning."

Ofer further added, "we are continuing to experience strong demand for our user-acquisition products and services from both new and existing clients, driven by our innovative technology, and the great results our existing clients are achieving with our technology. We are seeing an increase within the allocation of advertising budgets to our platform and services, which we consider to be a direct result on the Company's ability to mitigate against the impacts of the major iOS 14, 15 updates and other new market privacy limitations rolled out, as well as announced by Apple and Google.

Ofer ended by noting that, "our growth initiatives to expand into new geographies, such as Latin America and Asia, as well as expanding in hyper growing industry categories including fintech, e-commerce, gaming, and on demand services, have proven successful. As we look forward to 2022 and beyond, we expect to ramp up our self-serve products to expand our client base and further the growth of the Company."

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 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. The references in this press release to Adjusted EBITDA are forward-looking information about prospective financial performance and readers are cautioned that this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Please refer to the Company's MD&A for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Operating Gain (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020.
