Management Commentary
In FY2024, Tiny was focused on a number of strategic priorities including reducing the Company's overall leverage levels, and positioning the business for future acquisitions and organic growth. While strengthening its balance sheet through significant debt reduction, the Company also enhanced its recurring revenue streams through its acquisition of Repeat and MediaNet and implemented disciplined cost management across the portfolio.
Jordan Taub, CEO said "We are very proud of the progress made during 2024, with Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow increasing compared to 2023, and expect to see further improvements in the coming quarters. We have been working hard to position the Company for long-term growth and are excited about our recently announced pending acquisition of Serato, a global leader in DJ software. We expect to continue strengthening our balance sheet in 2025, while also looking to evaluate additional tuck-in and platform acquisition opportunities."

2024 Annual Financial Results
EBITDA for FY2024 includes non-cash goodwill impairments and reflects the absence of one-time accounting gains recognized in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes these items, increased 13% year-over-year. The Company reported a net loss for the year, primarily due to non-cash accounting items and adjustments rather than operational declines.

- Revenue in FY2024 was $194.2 million, an increase of $8.7 million or 5% compared to FY2023. The increase is partly driven by full-year inclusion of WeCommerce in FY2024, offset by the disposition of certain operations under the Digital Services segment in Q4 2024. Excluding the disposed entities, revenue in FY2024 would have been $181.8 million, an increase of $5.1 million or 3% compared to FY2023.
- Recurring revenue(1) in FY2024 was $38.7 million and made up 20% of total revenue, an increase of $9.2 million compared to FY2023. The growth is attributable to the acquisition of MediaNet and Repeat, combined with the full-year inclusion of WeCommerce.
- EBITDA(1) in FY2024 was $(3.4) million compared to $46.4 million in FY2023. EBITDA in 2023 included a gain on share transaction of $42.8 million as a result of the Company going public. EBITDA was also impacted by an additional non-cash $5.0 million goodwill impairment in 2024 compared to 2023, which was driven by changes in market valuation dynamics within the Software and Apps segment.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) in FY2024 was $31.0 million compared to $27.4 million in FY2023. Improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is attributable to the full year inclusion of WeCommerce, the early results of the aforementioned cost rationalization initiative, and the acquisition of MediaNet. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2024 was $10.1 million, an increase of 38% over Q3 2024.
- Cash on hand on December 31, 2024 was $22.9 million compared to $26.9 million on December 31, 2023.
- Total debt outstanding on December 31, 2024 was $116.9 million compared to $131.2 million on December 31, 2023. The decrease of $14.3 million is largely due to debt repayments, net of drawings, of $24.5 million offset with foreign exchange fluctuations on debt of $10.0 million. In 2024, the Company repaid a total of $37.5 million of debt during the year.
- The Company's cash flow from operations for FY2024 was $19.9 million, compared to $3.4 million in FY2023. The difference is largely attributable to an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $10.2 million in FY2024, compared to a $(1.9) million loss in FY2023 due to significant movements in USD/CAD foreign exchange rates. Net of unrealized foreign exchange, cash flow from operations was $9.7 million for FY2024 compared to $5.3 million in FY2023, an increase of $4.4 million. This is the result of increases in revenue combined with the early results of the cost rationalization initiative implemented in Q3 2024.
- Free cash flow(1) in FY2024 was $9.3 million compared to $(2.6) million in FY2023. The increase is the result of improved cost management and lower non-recurring costs incurred as a result of the Share Transaction in FY2023. When factoring in non-recurring costs and scheduled debt payments, the Adjusted Free Cash Flow Post Debt Servicing(1) in FY2024 was $9.0 million compared to $6.5 million in FY2023.
- Net loss in FY2024 was $47.6 million compared to net income of $14.8 million in FY2023, a decline of $62.4 million compared to prior period. Net income in 2023 included a gain on share transaction of $42.8 million as a result of the Company going public. The Company also observed greater fluctuations in USD/CAD foreign exchange rates, and incurred higher interest, depreciation and impairment expense in FY2024 compared to FY2023.
- Total assets on December 31, 2024 were $350.5 million compared to $392.6 million on December 31, 2023.

In addition, forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
By their nature, forward-looking statements require management to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.

Non-IFRS Measures
Certain information presented in this press release contain non- IFRS accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") measures that are used by us as indicators of financial performance. These financial measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed under IFRS and our computation may differ from similarly-named computations as reported by other entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of performance. The Company believes these measures may be useful supplemental information to assist investors in assessing our operational performance and our ability to generate cash through operations. The non-IFRS measures also provide investors with insight into our decision making as we use these non-IFRS measures to make financial, strategic and operating decisions.
Because non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from similarly-named computations as reported by other entities, securities regulations require that non-IFRS measures be clearly defined and qualified, reconciled with their nearest IFRS measure and given no more prominence than the closest IFRS measure.
Non-IFRS measures are not audited. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information presented in this press release is prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These non-IFRS measures have important limitations as analytical tools and investors are cautioned not to consider them in isolation or place undue reliance on ratios or percentages calculated using these non-IFRS measures.
