OTTAWA, ONTARIO – August 1st, 2019 – Ackroo Inc. (TSX-V: AKR; OTC: AKRFF) (“Ackroo” or the “Company”), a loyalty marketing and gift card technology and services provider, has filed its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and is pleased to report revenues of $1,146,079 representing a 9% increase over the same period in 2018. The Company also achieved a record $196,395 of positive EBITDA during the quarter representing a 116% increase over the same period in 2018 and resulted in the Company’s first ever cash flow positive quarter. Ackroo delivered these results while also completing their 7th acquisition to date of IQ724 from Mobi724 positioning the Company for a strong second half of the year and continued success in the years ahead.
“We are very pleased with what we accomplished organically and inorganically in Q2” said Steve Levely, chief executive officer at Ackroo. “It is always challenging maintaining organic growth while executing on inorganic opportunities. We closed our largest acquisition to date revenue wise and still managed to deliver 9% year over year revenue growth organically further validating our ability to execute in both areas. We continued to grow our customer base with several key wins in areas like Petroleum and Hospitality and for the sixth straight quarter we delivered positive EBITDA. With our acquisition of IQ724 we now have expanded digital marketing and business intelligence options for our growing large account client base and are poised to add even more value added services in the quarters ahead. The Company truly is at an exciting inflection point as we continue to significantly improve our balance sheet and begin to scale.”
