“Our third quarter results reflect the continued tremendous momentum the Company has been experiencing since the fourth quarter of 2020. This is our fourth consecutive quarter achieving triple digit YoY growth, generating CAD$39.3 million TTM revenue and 189% YoY growth, establishing Adcore as one of the fastest growing public Ad-tech companies,” commented Omri Brill, Chief Executive Officer of Adcore. “Ecommerce activity continues to grow exponentially, driving momentum and interest in our portfolio of technologies and services, as online retailers seek efficient and targeted advertising technology solutions to drive consumers to their products and demand measurement metrics to evaluate the success of each campaign. We are focused on continuing to capture the attention and business of the core online retail audience by surpassing their marketing technology needs.”

Mr. Brill continued, “We had several milestone achievements during third quarter 2021, including the launch of the Adcore Marketing Cloud which brings together our four leading applications under one scalable cloud-based platform. By consolidating our solutions in one place, we have made it even easier for our customers and partners to take their digital marketing to the next level. The Adcore Marketing Cloud provides us with a more scalable platform and allows us to lay the foundation for potential third-party application integration and a much wider marketing solution vision.”

“Additionally, we are experiencing rapid growth with Amphy.com, already the world’s most diverse 24/7 live online learning marketplace and we are intent on expanding and enhancing the platform’s offerings to attract an even broader worldwide audience. In October 2021, we launched a “social commerce” feature across all classes, allowing users to invite friends and family to share an Amphy class together with a significant discount to the original price. We expect this feature to further enhance the platform’s brand recognition and drive increased new users to the site.”

“We have also formed a United States subsidiary to establish a strong foothold from which to leverage the increasing demand for digital marketing solutions in the U.S.” Mr. Brill continued. “Since becoming a public company, one of our main focuses has been to broaden our reach and expand our global operations. With the addition of our U.S. subsidiary, we now have seven companies across four continents. We are energized by the opportunities represented by the lucrative U.S. market, which is estimated to reach USD$304 billion in digital ad spend by 2025.”

Mr. Brill concluded, “This is a very exciting time for Adcore as we strategically scale our business to become a leading provider of digital marketing solutions for ecommerce worldwide. We believe that our innovative technologies and growing geographic presence have uniquely positioned us within a global digital advertising market that is valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars.”

USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a key financial metric to evaluate Adcore’s operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant items that are non-operating in nature in order to evaluate Adcore’s core operating performance against prior periods. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net earnings, overall change in cash or liquidity of the business as a whole. Management believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its subsidiary, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on Adcore’s results for a particular period. Management’s method of determining non-GAAP financial measures is evaluated periodically and may differ from other companies’ methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies.

The following table presents the Adjusted EBITDA for the periods ended:

	Three months ended September 30, 2021	Three months ended September 30, 2020
	CAD$ in thousands (Unaudited)
Operating profit	27	717
Depreciation and amortization	216	213
