Throughout our first-year start-up, SpotLite360 has steadily grown quarterly revenues and adjusted EBITDA.

With continued investment in operations and delivery of enterprise scalable solutions, the company recognized a Q2 2022 loss of C($522,671) or $(0.01) per share.

SpotLite360 is creating an automated, smart, connected supply chain ecosystem. As we stated with our Q1 2022 earning release, at that time the Company had a backlog of contracted business of over C$10 million and anticipated a strong 2022 Q2. While we expect challenges and some market headwinds in the second half of 2022, our contracted backlog of business has grown to total over C$13 million. Our pipeline of opportunities also continues to grow for 2023, and our recent acquisitions are proving to be accretive. Year-to-date positive cash flow - adjusted EBITDA with multiple state expansions and product innovations will position SpotLite360’s future growth.”
