Wishpond is also pleased to share that Viral Loops has seen significant growth with over 40% increase in LTV(1) and over 25% increase in ARPU(1) year over year.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Wishpond has used the following terms (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) that are not defined by international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”), but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Wishpond and its business, including: MRR, LTV and ARPU. 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:

Monthly Recurring Revenue: The Company uses Monthly Recurring Revenue, or MRR, as a directional indicator of subscription revenue going forward assuming customers maintain their subscription plan the following month. MRR is the total of all monthly subscription plan fees paid by customers in effect on the last day of that period. If customers pay for more than one month upfront, the amount is divided by the number of months in the subscription period. Discounts are deducted prior to the calculation and one-time payments and metered based charges are excluded.

Average Revenue Per Account: The Company defines Average Revenue Per Account, or ARPU, as the total MRR divided by the number of subscribers. Management believes ARPU is a valuable financial metric as it provides insight into the effectiveness of the Company’s monetization strategy and customer value generation. ARPA also helps track the impact of sales initiatives and product offerings on customer spending patterns.

Customer Lifetime Value: The Company defines Customer Lifetime Value, or LTV, as the average revenue that a customer generates before they churn. Management believes LTV is useful as a forward looking estimate of the average revenue that a customer will generate throughout its lifespan as a customer with Wishpond.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements that are not reported financial results or other historical information are forward-looking statements or forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). This press release includes forward-looking statements regarding the Company, Viral Loops, and the industries in which they operate, including statements about, among other things, the Viral Loop Platform and its expected maintenance or growth, results from future operations, future growth of the Company’s and Viral Loops’ products and platforms, the future development and increased use of products incorporating artificial intelligence, improvement in the Company’s cash position and increased revenue generation, references to the growth of the Company’s product portfolio and future profitability, including whether additional products or features may be developed in the future, and the functionality and timing of such products, financial results or operational activities that may be undertaken by the Company, the results of the Company’s cost-savings, research and development and other initiatives, any future acquisitions or other activities done to grow the Company both organically or inorganically, expectations, beliefs, plans, future operations, the impact of broader economic factors including inflation and other general economic risks on the Company, business and acquisition strategies, opportunities, objectives, prospects, assumptions, including those related to trends and prospects, and future events and performance.

Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements in this press release are reasonable and are based on, among other things, the expectations and analysis of current market trends and opportunities of management of the Company, such forward-looking statements has been based on expectations, factors and assumptions concerning future events which may prove to be inaccurate and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, economic uncertainty and instability as a result of ongoing inflation and supply chain issues, the higher interest rate climate, tightening of credit availability and recessionary risks, pandemic related risks, wars, instability in global commodity and securities markets, shifts in consumer and institutional spending and marketing strategies, risks related to data breaches and privacy, the changing global market and competition for the products and services supplied by the Company, including but not limited to the Viral Loops Platform, and the additional risk factors discussed in the continuous disclosure materials of the Company which are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Company disclaims any intention and has no obligation or responsibility, except as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Market Challenges

The Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market is experiencing significant growth with the development of autonomous aerial vehicles like flying cars. However, challenges persist, including regulatory hurdles from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and industry players like Uber Air. CO2 emissions are a concern, making battery-powered UAM vehicles an attractive alternative to ICE cars. Air taxis, air metro, and air ambulance segments lead the market. R&D investments from start-ups and aerospace players in eVTOL, electric aircraft, and autonomous segments are driving innovation. Urban areas face traffic congestion and productivity losses, making UAM an attractive sustainable solution for transportation businesses. FAA Rulemaking Committees are working on vehicle type segment and air taxi segment regulations. Hyundai Motor and Volocopter are leading players with electric power vehicles like the SA-1 vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. The ecosystem includes aircraft operators, advanced air mobility, cargo, emergencies, metropolitan areas, and infrastructure development. Collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and technology advancements in electric motors, batteries, fly-by-wire systems, sensors, and control systems are shaping the future of urban aviation services, including on-demand mobility, goods delivery services, and shared automated vehicles. Regulatory authorities, cargo, and tourism industries are also exploring UAM opportunities. Drones are also part of the UAM development. Industry players are focusing on stability, load-carrying capacity, range, platform architecture, and vehicle automation for autonomous vehicle operations. Social mobility and vehicle autonomy are key considerations for urban air mobility.The urban air mobility (UAM) market for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is experiencing significant hype, yet the conversion of aerospace company designs into functional commercial models faces challenges. The energy requirements for flight are substantial, and current battery technology struggles to provide the necessary power with minimal weight. The success of electric cars was achieved through affordability and compactness, but in aviation, weight is the primary concern. To create a commercially viable eVTOL aircraft, batteries must have a minimum energy density of 500Wh/kg. However, most commercial batteries can only deliver 30-50% of this, posing a significant hurdle for the industry.
