"In the midst of the pandemic, facing faltering economies and shuttered industries around the world, we're thankful to be delivering critical infrastructure that organizations need to work remotely," said David MacLaren, Founder and CEO.
David MacLaren, Founder and CEO, MediaValet
"Today, we announce another quarter of strong revenue growth, illustrating the increasing role DAM is playing not only in day-to-day operations but also in business continuity plans. COVID-19 has forever changed the way we work. Remote working is now part of our lives, it has to be planned for, both as a necessity and as a way of life going forward. Overnight, SaaS and Cloud have taken center stage; VPNs and other legacy infrastructure can no longer be relied on to support the needs of tomorrow's business operations - let alone today's."
Continued MacLaren, "Coming into 2020, we ramped up our investment in product, sales and marketing, and customer success to fuel our next stage of growth. This investment found us well prepared when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and organizations moved en masse to remote work environments. This is evident in our customer usage rates which are up over 100% from March last year and up 30% since January."
Mr. MacLaren added, "As distributed workforces become a major component of our new normal and organizations rely more heavily on Cloud-based systems, Cloud DAM will become increasingly important in day-to-day operations and business continuity plans across most industries and geographies. Together with a leading market position and a well differentiated enterprise product offering, we believe MediaValet is in a strong position for the foreseeable future."
Rob Chase, Executive Chair and CFO commented, "We are grateful to have the funding to implement our strategic plan, and to have earned the support of a great investor base. We exited our first quarter with $4.70 million in cash following exercise of $3.83 million of warrants, options and debt conversions in the quarter. Including the warrants exercised after quarter end, our pro-forma March 31 cash balances are $8.01 million. Fiscal 2019 showed the growth potential and the leverage we are capable of unlocking. While still showing solid growth in Q1 2020, the current economic climate resulted in a lower level of net new ARR generated in the quarter. This is a direct result of COVID-19, as some of our Q1 prospects delayed their purchase decisions to allow them time to adapt to their new normal.
We are confident that these organizations will complete their purchases in the coming quarters and that we will see a release of pent-up demand as they settle in. In the meantime, we will use this time to invest in a measured expansion through this cycle, and believe this will position us to emerge stronger, retain our high growth and increase our operational leverage and market position for the future. We now have ample capital to fund this expansion, to weather the storms from the current economic downturn, and to grow MediaValet's leadership position in the DAM industry."

1 Operating Expenses include Sales & Marketing, Research & Development and General & Administrative.
2 EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that is used as a measure of profit and loss. Management believes EBITDA provides a meaningful measure for assessment of Company performance as it removes non-cash and non-operating expenses such as financing costs.
3 Per share figures have been adjusted to reflect the 15:1 share consolidation completed on September 9, 2019. Note that quarterly loss per share amounts may not aggregate to the annual amount disclosed in the annual financial statements due to rounding.
4 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is a non-IFRS measure that provides an indication of future revenue and billings from customers as of the reporting date. ARR represents the sum of the annual recurring revenue from existing customer contracts or commitments as of the reporting period end date, and as such management believes ARR to be a meaningful measure for assessment of Company performance. ARR is recorded as deferred revenue when it is invoiced and is recognized in revenue evenly on a monthly basis over the contract term.
