Kevin Vincent Cox, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am pleased with our performance thus far with year-to-date revenue growth of 76% compared to the same period last year. The robust top-line growth we achieved was due to the recovery in residential real estate coming out of the pandemic in 2020. The acquisition of PostBidShip (soon to be HARDHATFREIGHT.com), which we announced subsequent to the end of the third quarter, will provide us the unique opportunity to double the number of shippers, increase our capacity to serve third-party construction companies, and further streamline the real estate development process. We are excited about the Company’s investments in growth that are already starting to pay off.”
Cox added, “Our sales for the third quarter were driven by continued demand for our real estate offerings but were impacted by considerable raw material inflationary pressures, namely lumber and other building materials. In addition, we incurred higher expenses than usual due to investments in legal, accounting, management and diligence to close on the acquisition of several businesses which will drive LiveToBeHappy’s future performance.”
Grant Edwards, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We continue to perform due diligence work across our pipeline and believe that we will continue to add revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, upon completion of our acquisitions. We are very excited about our progress in preparing to uplist to the OTCQB as we believe the completion of the process will generate more visibility to investors on our transformative company. Finally, we are implementing processes and procedures as we prepare to integrate these companies to maximize long-term shareholder value.”

Non-GAAP Measurements
Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in providing additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. In addition, within this release, reference is made to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA is a metric used by management to evaluate performance and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is referenced by the Company as EBITDA before additional one-time non-recurring expenses.
