Research, News, and Market Data on QMCI

PHOENIX, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCQB: QMCI), a leading provider of market data and financial applications, announced financial results for the quarter ended September 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 and Quotestream Web Trader.

Highlights for Q3 2022 include the following:

• Quarterly revenue increased to $4,390,667 in Q3 2022 from $3,818,713 in Q3 2021, an increase of $571,954 (15%).
• Gross Margin percentage improved to 52% in Q3 2022, compared to 47% in Q3 2021.
• Net income for Q3 2022 was $309,543 compared to $154,931 in Q3 2021, an increase of $154,612.
• Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2022 was $670,145 compared to $539,534 in Q3 2021, an improvement of $130,611.

“We are very pleased with what we accomplished this quarter, and over the year to date,” said Robert J. Thompson, Chairman of the Board. “We have closed several major agreements with high profile clients including two of Canada’s largest banks, with the second contract commencing in November 2022. We achieved record profits this quarter, and we expect to improve upon this moving forward. We anticipate that the pace of our revenue growth will continue in the coming quarters, with the launch of more enterprise deployments and exciting partnerships.

“We have made extensive time and financial investments into operations and infrastructure improvements this year, to ensure we are able to provide the highest levels of service, support and security for our clients, and we expect that these investments will yield dividends in the months and years to come.

“Due to the significant devaluation of the Canadian dollar, we are revising our revenue growth projection for the 2022 year. A substantial number of our contracts (and new contracts) are denominated in Canadian dollars, and this is re-measured into US Dollars when reporting our financial results. We are now projecting a 16% revenue growth for 2022, down from 19%. This will not have a meaningful impact on our bottom-line profitability, as our Canadian dollar revenue and expenses are almost equal. In fact, we anticipate significantly increased profitability in upcoming quarters.”

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.
