“Q2 2023 was another quarter of record revenue for Kidoz,” stated Jason Williams Kidoz CEO.  “Through continued investments in technology and operations, two pillars of the business showed marked improvement and helped to propel the Company to new heights.  First, our investment in the software development of our programmatic technologies helped us to secure and deliver more than $250,000 in programmatic ad campaigns representing 274% growth over the first quarter of 2023.  Second, through investments in data analytics and operational processes we were able to significantly improve our operating margins to 44% in the second quarter of 2023 from 39% in the second quarter of 2022.  Kidoz management’s decision to increase investments to ensure our technology and operation surpass the competition was correct and our growth was secured.

During the second quarter, the Company also saw an increase in the growth of Prado campaigns as the teens and adults segments of our business continues to grow along with the kids.  However, one of the most exciting milestones achieved during the quarter was the launch of a successful “AAA” Game-Ad in collaboration with McDonald’s and Disney.  Designed to engage users into playing the gamified ad, the interactive unit was the most successful of all ads produced by the Kidoz Game-Ad team.  With more than 35% of impressions engaging with the Game Ad for more than 1 minute on average, McDonald’s and Disney were able to generate significant interest in Disney’s Elementals movie release.  Kidoz and Prado are developing a number of new opportunities with leading brands interested in custom AAA Game-Ads from the Company’s in-house studio.

After six months of operations in 2023, Kidoz is perfectly positioned to achieve records for the remaining two quarters and the full year.  Kidoz historically reports 68% of yearly revenue in the second half of the year with 43% occurring in the fourth quarter alone.  With the Kidoz technical, operational, and commercial teams all perfectly aligned, management believes that the records set in 2022 will fall.”

CAUTION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to “Adjusted EBITDA” which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in our annual Management Discussion and Analysis and our Form 20-F, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net income (loss) plus depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest, stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments.  We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights business trends that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.

Our Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled as follows:
