ProntoForms Corporation (TSXV: PFM), the global leader in no-code app development platforms for field teams, announced today its annual and fourth quarter (Q4) financial results for the period ended December 31, 2021. All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

“We are pleased to report that our Annual Recurring Revenue Base (ARR) increased by 15.6% in 2021 compared to 8.7% in 2020. The growth in the base has improved but we are committed to getting more growth through an enterprise expansion focus. Our base is now $19.8 million with 41% from customers with greater than $100,000 of ARR,” said Alvaro Pombo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Pombo continued, “Our customers need to accelerate the speed of automation in the field and they see our product’s agility and breadth of use cases as a catalyst in this digital transformation. We have compelling new use case stories and a Wakefield Research customer impact report demonstrating value across many industries and multiple tech stacks. Our focus continues to be on enterprise expansion and we are off to a strong start having added enterprise sales resources and go to market infrastructure in early 2022.”

Terence Matthews, Chairman of ProntoForms, said, “The addition of Conrad Smits, former Head of Services & Solution Delivery at Royal Philips, strengthens our board with real customer experience and advocacy.”

Subsequent to year-end, ProntoForms Corporation added financial capacity by increasing its debt facility from CAD $6 million to CAD $10 million. The access to additional funds provides more flexibility to execute on its growth strategy in 2022 and beyond.
