VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 20, 2024 /CNW/ - Wishpond Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: WISH) (OTCQX: WPNDF) (the "Company" or "Wishpond"), a provider of marketing-focused online business solutions, announces it has filed its interim consolidated financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") and management's discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") for Q3-2024, representing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Copies of the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Ali Tajskandar, Wishpond's Founder and CEO commented, "I am pleased to report that Wishpond has achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $571,228 and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of over 11% in Q3-2024, marking the Company's most profitable quarter since 2022. Achieving double-digit EBITDA margin is a rare accomplishment for a software company of our size, and I am incredibly proud of our team for reaching this significant milestone. Our dedication to reducing costs and driving greater efficiencies throughout our business has led to substantial improvements in both profitability and cash flow. Further to this, I am excited to share that Wishpond generated cash flows from operations of positive $0.2 million during Q3-2024. Improving our Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow generation has been a core focus for the Company in 2024 and we reiterate this commitment and mandate as we head into 2025."
Ali Tajskandar further adds, "Wishpond is making exciting strides with its new flagship product, SalesCloser AI ("SalesCloser"), a revolutionary virtual sales agent which leverages artificial intelligence to conduct sales calls and product demos. We are actively exploring new sales outreach programs and potential channel partnerships to expand SalesCloser's reach, unlock new customer opportunities, and drive broader adoption of the platform. Recently, we announced a collaboration with Roomvu Technologies Inc. ("Roomvu"), a leading real estate marketing platform used by over 220,000 real estate agents, to leverage SalesCloser in enhancing lead follow-up and boosting sales conversions. Collaborations like these are an excellent example of how a partner can provide us with greater and more efficient access to a potential customer base. Furthermore, we are seeing a steady increase in bookings for SalesCloser demos each day. As we broaden the platform's rollout, we anticipate that SalesCloser will be a key contributor in driving new growth to our business in 2025."
Adrian Lim, Wishpond's Chief Financial Officer commented, "Despite a decline in quarterly revenue, Wishpond was able to achieve very strong margins and cash flows in Q3-2024. Wishpond's revenue decline in Q3-2024 was attributable to the transition of its sales team driven by cost optimization efforts and the integration of SalesCloser into its sales processes. In the long term, we anticipate using SalesCloser to grow the Company's own internal sales capacity, reduce hiring costs, and further increase margins and profitability. In addition, revenue was negatively impacted due to a decrease in spending from Wishpond's legacy customer for email delivery services. While this customer contributed to Wishpond's revenue, these sales were not as profitable compared to the newer business generated through our Propel IQ platform ("Propel IQ"). As a result, this offset of less profitable revenue enabled Wishpond to achieve its most profitable quarter in two years, growing Adjusted EBITDA margin to 11% and improving the Company's gross margin to 69%. Looking ahead, we expect our gross margins to continue trending upwards as adoption of Propel IQ grows, and we begin ramping up sales of our new SalesCloser solution."

Outlook:
For 2025, Wishpond's focus is on profitable growth. The Company expects to improve upon the Adjusted EBITDA levels achieved in 2024. The Company is also expanding the utilization of its SalesCloser virtual sales agent in its sales processes in order to drive new sales of Wishpond products. SalesCloser will be used to help grow Wishpond's own internal sales capacity, reduce hiring costs, and further increase margins and profitability. In addition to using SalesCloser to sell Wispond's own products, the Company is also ramping up its SalesCloser revenue generated from external customers.
Management is pleased to introduce the Company's key goals for 2025:

Cautionary Statements, Summary Information
Information presented in this press release is only a summary and does not purport to be a full representation of all figures, notes and discussions provided for in the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A. Readers are cautioned to read the entirety of the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A, and not to rely only on the information presented in this press release. In the event of conflict between the information in this press release on the one hand, and the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A on the other hand, the information in the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A shall govern.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, Wishpond has used the following terms ("Non-GAAP Financial Measures") that are not defined by IFRS, but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Wishpond and its business, including: Adjusted EBITDA, MRR, Annualized Revenue Run-Rate, Average Order Value, Customer Churn Rate, LTV, gross profit, and gross margin. These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Wishpond's performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP Financial Measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most comparable IFRS financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods. See the disclosure under the heading "Additional GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures" in Wishpond's MD&A for a discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and certain reconciliations to GAAP financial measures. The intent of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts, and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are identified and defined as follows:
