ManagementCommentary

Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of Paltalk, commented, “Our quarterly results remain positive and consistent due to our recurring subscription revenue, which makes up the majority of our revenue and has historically provided excellent predictability and visibility for our business. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we raised $11.6 million at $7.50 per share. This capital infusion gives us added flexibility in growing our business organically and potentially through acquisitions, which we continue to explore.”

Katz, continued, “We believe we have entered the next growth phase of our business. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we invested in new marketing tools with a focus on increasing visibility, user engagement, subscribers and customer engagement. We forged new partnerships with marketing agencies in the first quarter of 2022 and they are just now commencing their efforts. We plan to continue this incremental marketing spend with a careful eye on our internal metrics of users, subscribers and engagement, as return on investment (“ROI”) is very important to us. We aim to increase marketing and customer engagement as we carefully manage our capital. We look forward to updating the market and our shareholders with our progress on both internal growth initiatives and potential strategic accretive acquisitions. Additionally, we expect that the new stock repurchase plan recently approved by our Board will enhance our capital allocation strategy by providing additional flexibility to opportunistically repurchase shares at attractive prices. This repurchase plan will help us to deploy corporate resources in a way that increases stockholder value while reinvesting in our business.”

Non-GAAPFinancial Measures and Key Metrics

The Company has provided in this release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and other key metrics, including subscription bookings, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gain on office lease termination, impairment loss on digital tokens, interest expense (income), net, gain from sale of Secured Communications Assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, gain on extinguishment of term debt, realized gain from sale of digital tokens, gain on termination of digital tokens payable, other expense, and provision for income taxes. The Company calculates subscription bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized during the period.

Management uses these financial metrics internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these financial metrics in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes these financial metrics are useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; net loss from discontinued operations; interest income, net; other expense, net; gain on sale of the Dating Services Business; income tax expense from continuing operations; gain on office lease termination; impairment loss on goodwill; gain from sale of Secured Communication Assets; loss on disposal of property and equipment; our working capital requirements; the impairment loss on digital tokens; realized gain (loss) from the sale of digital tokens; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; gain on the extinguishment of term debt; and the provision for income taxes. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider these financial metrics along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
