Q3 2024 and 9 Months 2024 Highlights

(Refer to Non-GAAP Measures, Gross Margin, EBITDA and Bookings Backlog discussion below)

• Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ("Q3 2024") decreased by 22%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 ("Q3 2023"). Revenue for Q3 2024 was $6.7 million, as compared to $8.6 million for Q3 2023.

  • The revenue decline in both Q3 2024 and the first 9 months of 2024 was entirely tied to the planned sunsetting of a single contract that the company inherited with the acquisition of Gambit Rewards.

• Gross Margin for Q3 2024 increased by 93% from 32% in Q3 2023 to 62% in Q3 2024.

• Gross Margin for the first 9 months of 2024 increased by 114% from 28% in the first 9 months of 2023 to 60% in the first 9 months of 2024.

• EBITDA in Q3 2024 was $708,649 vs Q3 2023 EBITDA of $33,408, an improvement of $675,241.

• EBITDA in the first 9 months of 2024 was $120,866 vs an EBITDA loss of $1,939,921 in the first 9 months of 2023, an improvement of $2,060,787.

• Bookings Backlog (programs that have been sold, but whose revenues have not yet been recognized) stood at $15.5MM at September 30, 2024, an increase of 7% as compared to September 30, 2023 of $14.5MM.

• Cash at the end of Q3 2024 was $4.6 million and the company continues to be debt free.

Atul Sabharwal, Founder of Snipp, stated "Q3 2024 represents a pivotal moment in Snipp's history as we achieved record-breaking quarterly EBITDA -a testament to our strategic focus on high-margin revenue streams and operational excellence," said Atul Sabharwal, Founder & CEO. "The early performance of SnippMEDIA, now reaching over 30 million monthly active users and achieving strong engagement metrics, along with continued strength in our core business, highlights our ability to deliver innovative solutions and potential high growth opportunities in the future that can only add to the continued growth of our business. With a near record bookings backlog in the core Snipp business and exciting integrations/launches planned for SnippMedia in 2025, we are well-positioned to build on this momentum and drive long-term value for our clients and shareholders."

Non-GAAP Measures

Snipp uses certain performance measures throughout this document that are not recognizable under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles or IFRS ("GAAP"). These performance measures include Gross Margin and EBITDA. Management believes that these measures provide supplemental financial information that is useful in the evaluation of the Company's operations.

Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and IFRS as an indicator of Snipp's performance. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from that of other organizations, and accordingly, these may not be comparable.

Gross Margin

Snipp defines Gross Margin as revenue less campaign infrastructure. The Company's calculation of Gross Margin is not a financial measure that is recognized under GAAP. Investors should be cautioned that the Company's defined Gross Margin should not be construed as an alternative measure to other measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA

Snipp defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash operating expenses of share-based payments, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses).

Bookings Backlog

Snipp defines Bookings Backlog as future revenue from existing customer contracts to be recognized in future quarters. Bookings get translated into revenues based on IFRS principles and the Bookings Backlog reflects how revenues in future quarters are steadily being booked today.

The Following are calculations of EBITDA:
