  • Continued to see strong growth in the Company's direct channel revenue stream driven by a high level of e-commerce, digital transformation and international expansion.
  • Made significant progress during the quarter growing the Amphy.com platform, the world's most diverse 24/7 live learning marketplace.

  • Completed capital raise for gross proceeds of CAD$4.1 million to support future growth.
  • Began trading on the OTCQX® Best Market (the "OTCQX") in the U.S. and secured DTC eligibility.

"I couldn't be happier with our second quarter results, which reflect the strong momentum we're seeing in our business as we leverage our capabilities and innovative technology for e-commerce marketing as the online retail industry continues to grow exponentially," commented Omri Brill, Chief Executive Officer of Adcore. "Globally, consumers increasingly shifted their shopping activity to embrace online purchasing during the pandemic and even as the worldwide economy reopens, e-commerce activity remains robust. Adcore's technologies enable our retail partners to efficiently reach their target audiences to drive product interest and sales and Adcore's market recognition as a premier MarTech resource for online retailers, both large and small, continues to increase. With our anticipated growth in mind, during the quarter we completed a capital raise in the amount of CAD$4.1 million which we expect to implement as we pursue our long-term vision for the Company as a leading player in the industry. Additionally, our stock recently began trading on the OTCQX expanding our public company profile and making our shares US DTC eligible, which broadens our audience of potential shareholders."

Mr. Brill continued, "We were excited to also officially launch Amphy this quarter, the world's most diverse 24/7 live online learning marketplace. We believe the EdTech market represents a tremendous opportunity and Amphy is poised to capitalize on the rapid rise in demand for online learning, in particular live, interactive learning, which has seen dramatic acceleration as consumers increasingly sought socially distant educational experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since we soft launched approximately seven months ago, Amphy has already screened and onboarded 200+ teachers and is actively offering 800 classes across 70 categories to thousands of students. We're encouraged by the marketplace interest in this new platform and energized about its potential for continued growth."

"This is a very exciting time for our Company as we pursue opportunities in the complementary e-commerce and e-learning industries. We believe we're uniquely positioned with technology that simplifies the digital marketing efforts of our partners and, more importantly, enhances their ability to reach the right audiences. Likewise, Amphy is unique in its ability to bring together teachers and students in a live setting, tapping into the global community's desire to learn and evolve and the natural inclination to connect with other people. We are confident that our technologies present a significant market opportunity and we're poised to capitalize on the interest we're seeing in both our core business offering and our new Amphy platform," Mr. Brill concluded.

USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as a key financial metric to evaluate Adcore's operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant items that are non-operating in nature in order to evaluate Adcore's core operating performance against prior periods. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net earnings, overall change in cash or liquidity of the business as a whole. Management believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its subsidiary, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on Adcore's results for a particular period. Management's method of determining non-GAAP financial measures is evaluated periodically and may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies.
