POSaBIT Q2 Revenue Increases 232% to USD $5.0M; Increases Guidance for Full Year Revenue to $17.5M – $19M; Plans Expansion to Support Hyper Growth Rate

POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE: PBIT, OTC:POSAF), the leading provider of payments infrastructure in the cannabis industry, today announced its financial results in U.S. dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

“We delivered another quarter of exceptionally strong revenue growth and are increasingly enthusiastic about the trajectory of our business for the remainder of 2021 and beyond,” said Ryan Hamlin, CEO and Co-founder of POSaBIT. “In just six months we have already exceeded our 2020 full year revenue and all indicators point towards a doubling of revenue for the second year in a row in 2021. Accordingly, we are raising our top-line guidance by more than 20% for the full year 2021 given our accelerating momentum and our plans for further expansion. Importantly, our strong financial results are enabling us to reinvest for additional growth. Over the coming months we expect to double our team of professionals with a focus on client support, business development, software development and technical support.”

Hamlin continued, “Customer demand for our suite of cashless payment solutions remains extremely strong, and we are executing well across an established base that includes operations in 14 U.S. states. Later in 2021 we will be leveraging our experience and existing infrastructure to commence operations in Canada, and an additional five to eight U.S. states. Through new offerings, increasing volumes at existing stores and geographic expansion, we expect to capture a large share of the market and continue to grow by helping our clients drive efficiency and top-line revenue.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

• Transactional sales for payment processing totaled $87.3 million, up 331% compared with $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2020
• Total revenue was $5.0 million, up 232% compared with $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2020
• Gross profit was $1.3 million, or 27% of revenue, up 350% compared with $292 thousand, or 20% of revenue in the second quarter of 2020
• Net loss was $(878) thousand compared with a net loss of $(242) thousand in the second quarter of 2020
• Adjusted EBITDA was $185 thousand compared with $(240) thousand in the second quarter of 2020

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by management that does not have any prescribed meaning by IFRS and that may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss generated for the period as reported, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is further adjusted to remove changes in fair values and expected credit losses, foreign exchange gains and/or losses, impairments. The Company believes this is a useful metric to evaluate its core operating performance.

Warrants and Cash Update

As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash of approximately $5.0 million compared to approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2020. This increase was partially driven by approximately $762,000 of cash received from the exercise of 3,804,030 outstanding warrants during the period.

Operational Highlights

• Largest ever quarterly increase of new merchants joining the POSaBIT platform
• Two large, high volume, multi-state operator (MSO) chains entered into agreements with POSaBit, adding 20 stores each
• POSaBIT is pleased to announce the addition of Louis Camhi to its board and Antony “Tony” Stern to its advisory panel. Tony and Louis have extensive capital market experience and will be a strategic asset as we continue to grow.
