The Company alleges that Cisco’s Webex products have infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and that the Company is entitled to damages. A Markman hearing took place on February 24, 2022 and a trial is scheduled for February 2023.


ManagementCommentary

Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of Paltalk, commented, “We have continued to fine tune our strategy to focus on Adjusted EBITDA optimization, the integration of the newly acquired ManyCam assets, and adjusting our spending to align with current macro-economic conditions. Our cash position as of June 30, 2022 remains solid at $16.9 million after utilizing $2.9 million, including $0.2 million of expenses, for the acquisition of the ManyCam assets. We plan to continue to invest in a measured way with responsible cash management.”

Katz, continued, “We look forward to working with Roth Capital Partners in exploring strategic opportunities as we build upon our recently closed acquisition of the ManyCam assets. Our team is optimizing the ManyCam assets to maximize subscription revenue, integrate and cross-sell with existing customers and explore business-to-business sales opportunities. Since our launch of ManyCam, there have been over 300,000 new installs of the product and we believe, although early, this is a positive sign. We feel there are multiple ways to expand our communications software and multimedia social applications, which we believe have the potential to provide substantial value to Paltalk stockholders. Our Nasdaq listing status, strong cash position and current operating business strategy provide us a strong platform to execute our strategic plan to acquire additional complementary and synergistic businesses.”

Katz, concluded, “Although disappointed with the results, our goal is to get back to profitability. While a portion of our strategy will come from the streamlining of expenses, we believe enhancements to our live video chat applications, ManyCam sales and cross sales, integration of games and our focus on retention and monetization has the potential to increase revenue opportunities. We plan to continue to develop our consumer application platform and defend our intellectual property as we seek to build stockholder value.”

Revenue<br> for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 23% to $2.6 million, compared to $3.4<br> million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decline was primarily attributable<br> to the decrease in subscription revenue of 18% or $0.6 million, related to the macro-economic<br> environment as well as a decrease in technology service revenue as a result of the termination<br> of our partnership with Open Props, Inc. (formerly “YouNow”) decrease. Advertising<br> revenue increased by over 11% to $0.1 million.

Non-GAAPFinancial Measures

The Company has provided in this release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, 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 interest expense (income), net, provision for income taxes, gain on extinguishment of term debt, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense, net, stock-based compensation expense, gain on the termination of an lease, realized loss from sale of digital tokens and impairment loss on digital tokens.

5

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; interest income (expense), net; other income, net; 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.
