"Our second quarter of 2024 marks a significant milestone for Snipp as we achieved the highest bookings in our company’s history, reflecting the strength of our strategic initiatives and the value of our platform to our growing list of Fortune 500 customers,” stated Atul Sabharwal, Founder of Snipp. “Our continued focus on enhancing our revenue mix has led to substantial improvements in our margin profile, setting us on a clear path toward sustained profitability. Our backlog is also at its highest level ever, providing a solid foundation for continued growth in our core Snipp business as we enter the second half of the year.

Atul Sabharwal continued, “Looking ahead, we are poised for a strong third quarter, with expectations for significant revenue increases in our core Snipp business and continued margin improvements. As we have stated in the past, our elevated backlog indicates that the Company's profitability will scale in the second half of the year when promotional activity is typically stronger. We are very pleased with our progress in repositioning our revenue mix and expect the core Snipp business to scale substantially given our new hires this past year, driving incremental margin and a sustained path towards EBITDA profitability.”

Non-GAAP Measures

Snipp uses certain performance measures throughout this document that are not recognizable under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles or IFRS ("GAAP"). These performance measures include Gross Margin and EBITDA. Management believes that these measures provide supplemental financial information that is useful in the evaluation of the Company's operations.

Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and IFRS as an indicator of Snipp's performance. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from that of other organizations, and accordingly, these may not be comparable.

Gross Margin

Snipp defines Gross Margin as revenue less campaign infrastructure. The Company's calculation of Gross Margin is not a financial measure that is recognized under GAAP. Investors should be cautioned that the Company's defined Gross Margin should not be construed as an alternative measure to other measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA

Snipp defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash operating expenses of share-based payments, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses).

Bookings Backlog

Snipp defines Bookings Backlog as future revenue from existing customer contracts to be recognized in future quarters. Bookings get translated into revenues based on IFRS principles and the Bookings Backlog reflects how revenues in future quarters are steadily being booked today.The Following are calculations of EBITDA:EBITDA Q2 2024
