By: Newsfile

With positive operating cash flow for Q2 and YTD, and four consecutive quarters of record revenue, Reklaim is well-positioned for a profitable 2023.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2023) - Reklaim, (TSXV: MYID) (OTC Pink: MYIDF) ("Reklaim"), the destination for consumers to access and reclaim their data, announces the filing of its Q2 2023 financial results.

  • The Company has now achieved four consecutive quarters of record revenue growth.
  • Achieved positive operating cash flow for Q2 and YTD through improved efficiency and operating margins.
  • The Company improved its gross margin by 9% from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023, moving from 71% to 80%.

"We have been clear in our signal to the market that our core focus was profitability and are pleased to see this manifest in Q2 on top of our fourth straight quarter of record revenue," said Reklaim CEO and Founder Neil Sweeney. "With positive cash flow this past quarter, continued expense reduction and margin improvement, investors should feel confident in our continued path towards a profitable 2023."

"Since January of 2023, we have seen a palatable uptick in demand for privacy-compliant data due to the state of California beginning its enforcement period of its privacy legislation; CPRA. Additionally, twelve states have either passed or signed new comprehensive privacy laws in 2023, with an additional four states currently in committee. The trend toward privacy-compliant data continues to accelerate, and Reklaim is well-positioned to take advantage of this massive opportunity.
