QuoteMedia Announces 12% Revenue Growth for Q2 2022

PHOENIX, Aug. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCQB: QMCI), a leading provider of market data and financial applications, announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

QuoteMedia provides banks, brokerage firms, private equity firms, financial planners and sophisticated investors with a more economical, higher quality alternative source of stock market data and related research information. We compete with several larger legacy organizations and a modest community of other smaller companies. QuoteMedia provides comprehensive market data services, including streaming data feeds, on-demand request-based data (XML/JSON), web content solutions (financial content for website integration) and applications such as Quotestream Professional desktop and mobile.

Highlights for Q2 2022 include the following:

• Quarterly revenue increased to $4,298,957 in Q2 2022 from $3,833,018 in 2021, an increase of $465,939 (12%).
• Net loss for Q2 2022 was $163,080 compared to a loss of $79,625 in Q2 2021, an increase of $83,455.
• Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2022 was $508,376 compared to $311,780 in Q2 2021, an improvement of $196,596.
  

"This was another great quarter for QuoteMedia," said Robert J. Thompson, Chairman of the Board. "We have entered into several large-scale enterprise agreements with high profile banks and brokerage firms and have made significant progress on the development and implementation of these projects. We expect to recognize substantial associated revenue as these extensive deployments launch in the coming months. We have also begun several exciting partnerships with other market data and content vendors which will see them integrating our products and proprietary data sets and providing them to their clientele. We continued to experience healthy revenue growth, and we anticipate the pace of this growth to increase in the second half of this year. We made some non-recurring accounting adjustments that negatively impacted our bottom line this quarter. We expect to report profitability in the upcoming quarters and beyond. Consistent with previous forecasts, we remain on track to achieve full year revenue growth in the 20% range. We are very pleased with our results to date, and we are excited for what the future holds."

Note 1 on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP pro forma financial measure, provides meaningful information to investors in terms of enhancing their understanding of our operating performance and results, as it allows investors to more easily compare our financial performance on a consistent basis compared to the prior year periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also corresponds with the way we expect investment analysts to evaluate and compare our results. Any non-GAAP pro forma financial measures should be considered only as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or in isolation from, or superior to, our other measures of financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc.

We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., plus: 1) depreciation and amortization, 2) stock compensation expense, 3) interest expense, 4) foreign exchange loss (or minus a foreign exchange gain), and 5) income tax expense. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of our business from period to period. We understand that measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA are broadly used by analysts, rating agencies, investors and financial institutions in assessing our performance. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors. The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
