Steady growth of the Company’s contractor solution Renoworks Pro also contributed.

The net loss for the first quarter was reduced to $125,753 from $384,653 compared to the same period in 2023, attributed to increased revenues and decreased personnel costs and professional fees.

Additionally, the Company saw an improvement in gross margin percentage, mainly due to higher margins from hosting and licensing revenues and investments in efficient project delivery.

*Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure not recognized under IFRS. However, management of Renoworks believes that most shareholders, creditors, other stakeholders and investment analysts prefer to have these measures included as reported measures of operating performance, a proxy for cash flow, and to facilitate valuation analysis. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring gains or losses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons.

Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability. References to the Renoworks’ Adjusted EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of Renoworks posted on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

Solo Celebrates Its Anniversary With Debt Payoff Giveaway and AI Advancements

Published

By

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate seven years of helping consumers resolve debt, Solo is giving one customer the ultimate anniversary gift: a chance to have their debt paid off.

Solo, the platform that connects everyday Americans with collectors to pay off debt, is turning seven—and giving back. To celebrate its 7th anniversary, the fintech startup is hosting Solo’s Debt Payoff Giveaway. One lucky participant will receive $4,700—the average amount of a debt lawsuit according to Solo data aggregated from over 200,000 accounts.

The giveaway shines a spotlight on a difficult financial reality. Based on Solo’s latest financial analysis, the average debtor is sued for more than 11x their bank account balance. This comes out to roughly 80% of their monthly income, so it’s no wonder so many people struggle to respond to debt lawsuits, negotiate settlements, or pay off their debts. Solo’s latest features are designed to flip the script and empower consumers to get out of debt fast.

Everything Solo builds is designed to help people take control of their financial future. “Debt can feel hopeless. We’re here to prove there’s a solution,” said George Simons, Solo’s CEO and founder. “This giveaway is our way of celebrating progress—and helping one more person move forward.”

Solo is now an AI-first experience. Consumers talk for free with its powerful AI, which scores in the top 10% on the bar exam, top 20% on the CPA exam, and is built on OpenAI’s GPT-4o. Users can discover tips to build credit, budget better, and pay down debts. With SoloSettle, consumers can get debt resolution deals based on their actual financial circumstance and collaborate with collectors to achieve instant settlements. 

“Thanks to Solo, getting sued for debt is no longer a dead end,” said Simons. “Instead, for hundreds of thousands of Americans, it’s the pivot point towards a brighter future and greater financial prosperity.”

About Solo
Solo simplifies debt resolution for both consumers and collectors. Since its launch in 2018, Solo has helped more than 290,000 consumers manage $1.92 billion in debt, offering tools that simplify and accelerate resolution. Roughly 10 million US consumers are sued for debt yearly, and many use Solo to respond to lawsuits, engage with collectors for the first time, and negotiate debt digitally, often reaching a resolution in just days.

Vitalchat Launches Hardware Leasing Option to Make Virtual Care More Predictable and Affordable for Hospitals

Published

on

By

New hardware leasing program bundles high-definition cameras, audio equipment, and other essential components with software, maintenance, support, and ongoing feature updates, all under a single, predictable monthly expense.

NEW ORLEANS, La., May 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vitalchat, a leader in AI-powered ambient solutions for inpatient virtual nursing and procedural telehealth, today announced a new leasing program that enables hospitals to access camera and audio hardware through a flexible monthly subscription, transforming large upfront capital expenses (CapEx) into more manageable operating expenses (OpEx).

“This option removes large upfront working capital barriers and allows hospitals to predictably spend their money over time. It eliminates surprises and provides the budget predictability that finance leaders need.” Wes Stewart, Chief Financial Officer, Vitalchat

While hardware leasing models exist in healthcare, Vitalchat’s program is specifically designed to address the unique requirements of virtual nursing and procedural telehealth deployments. Vitalchat’s approach combines all the necessary hardware and software, maintenance, support and regular application feature and functionality updates into a single, predictable monthly expense. The program includes high-definition cameras with zoom capabilities, night vision features, audio equipment, and other essential components needed for virtual nursing and telehealth deployments. Vitalchat also offers multiple configuration options to meet various clinical needs across in-patient settings and procedural environments.

“As a CFO, I understand the value this model brings to healthcare financial planning,” said Wes Stewart, Chief Financial Officer at Vitalchat. “It removes large upfront working capital barriers and allows hospitals to predictably spend their money over time. If a camera breaks, they don’t have to purchase a new one, it’s simply swapped out while maintaining the same monthly rate. It eliminates surprises and provides the budget predictability that finance leaders need.”

The leasing program is part of Vitalchat’s ongoing mission to reduce barriers to adoption in healthcare environments where technology needs evolve rapidly. This approach allows hospitals to scale their virtual care infrastructure up or down as needed, without being locked into outdated equipment or face unexpected replacement costs. As hospitals continue to prioritize virtual nursing, virtual sitting, and hybrid care models, this offering helps care teams deploy innovative technology faster, with fewer operational hurdles and a more sustainable financial model.

The new program is available immediately.

About Vitalchat

Vitalchat delivers a flexible audio and video platform designed to transform healthcare delivery by addressing critical challenges like nursing shortages, procedural telehealth and care coordination with clinical teams, patients and their family members. Our technology utilizes AI to perform continuous real-time analysis of video, audio, and sensory data collected in the care setting to identify trends, predict risks, and flag anomalies that are then turned into meaningful alerts and automated actions that support the clinical teams in delivering efficient, safe and coordinated care.
