TORONTO and TAMPA, Fla., April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Voxtur Analytics Corp. (TSXV: VXTR; OTCQB: VXTRF) ("Voxtur" or the "Company"), a North American technology company creating a more transparent and accessible real estate lending ecosystem, today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023. The Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for year ended December 31, 2023, and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") are available at www.sedarplus.ca and at www.voxtur.com.

"Despite facing challenges throughout 2023 with unprecedented increases in mortgage rates and management changes, we remain dedicated in our commitment to growth and resilience,“ said Gary Yeoman, CEO of Voxtur. “Our optimism is rooted in the belief that setbacks are merely stepping stones toward greater success. As we navigate these fluctuations, we're doubling down on innovation, strategic initiatives, and unwavering dedication to decreasing our debt. With a clear vision and proactive measures in place, we are confident in our ability to adapt, thrive, and deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.”

Financial Results for Q4 and year to date (“YTD”) 2023:

On November 1, 2023, the Company finalized the sale of its wholly owned appraisal management company (“AMC”) business. In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the Company has presented its AMC business as a discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in the reporting of revenue and gross profit excluding discontinued operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The disposal of the AMC business enabled the Company to repay the full balance of approximately $22M term debt facilities, and retain the remaining funds for working capital purposes.  Annual principal and interest savings related to the reduction of the debt balance will be approximately $8.2M.

Discussion with respect to the above-noted results can be found in the Company’s MD&A available at www.sedarplus.ca and at www.voxtur.com.

¹Calculations include results from continuing operations which excludes discontinued operations related to the Company's AMC business.

² Adjusted EBITDA is an unaudited non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other reporting issuers. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful information with respect to the financial performance and value of the Company, as items that may obscure the underlying trends in the business performance are excluded. Adjusted EBITDA is defined and calculated by the Company as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation/amortization of property and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets, share-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gains (losses) recorded through profit and loss, impairment losses and other costs or income that are: (i) non-operating; (ii) non-recurring; and/or (iii) related to strategic initiatives. The Company classifies income or costs as non-recurring if income or costs similar in nature are not reasonably expected to occur within the next two years nor have occurred during the prior two years, and such costs are significant.

Earnings Call Details:

The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, April 30^th, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to discuss financial results and highlights for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.
