MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF ZOOMD TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
Basis of Presentation
The following management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) relates to the operating results, financial position, cash flows, and outlook guidance of Zoomd Technologies Ltd. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zoomd Ltd. (“Zoomd”) prepared for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the related notes attached thereto (the “Financial Statements”). For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to the Company in this MD&A fully incorporates and includes Zoomd. The Financial Statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Financial Statements and extracts of those Financial Statements included in this MD&A have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The effective date of this MD&A is November 29, 2024.
Unless otherwise stated herein, all amounts expressed in this MD&A are presented in thousands of United States dollars, denominated by “$” or “USD” or “US$”, the functional currency of the Company.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This MD&A includes certain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, which involve risks and uncertainties associated with the business and the environment in which the Company operates. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including those identified by the expressions “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, and similar expressions to the extent they relate to the Company or its management. The forward-looking statements are not facts but reflect management’s current expectations regarding future results or events. In developing the forward-looking statements in this MD&A, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including the availability of financing on reasonable terms, the Company’s ability and general business and economic conditions. These forward-looking statements are subject to several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to:
- the performance of the Company’s business and operations;
- the intention to grow the business and operations of the Company;
- the ability of the Company to implement and execute its technology development roadmap;
- the ability of the Company to grow through mergers and acquisitions;
- future liquidity, financial capacity and availability of future financing;
- global macroeconomic effects on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results, including but not limited to the macroeconomic effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East;
- general economic conditions, including but not limited to risks associated with the weakening of global economic activity and recession, foreign currency fluctuations, increased interest rates, and inflation;

demand for the Company’s offerings;
- introduction of competing offerings;
- the Company’s ability to respond to rapid technological changes with new products and services;
- the return on investment from research and development investments made by the Company;
- the Company’s ability to protect and enforce its intellectual property, and risks of potential claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties;
- failure to manage the Company’s product and service lifecycles;
- failure to manage open-source software adoption and compliance risks;
- the Company’s concentrated customer base, as five of the Company’s customers comprise 84% of its revenues for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024;
- the success of the Company’s implementation of cost savings measures, consisting primarily of the discontinuance of non-profitable operations;
- the ability of the Company’s products to operate effectively within the systems of the Company’s customers; and
- general industry and privacy regulation trends which may change from time to time and could adversely impact the Company’s business, including privacy changes made in the past by Apple and Google as well as future privacy changes.
With respect to the forward-looking statements contained herein, although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, because no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct. There can be no assurance that the anticipated results or developments will be realized, and actual results can be expected to vary from the results projected and such variances may be material and adverse. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This MD&A refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognised measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. The Company’s definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this MD&A may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying

solely on IFRS financial measures. Specifically, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods and share-based compensation, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.
“EBITDA” represents the Company’s operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents the EBITDA adjusted for the exclusion of share-based compensation and one-time non-operating expenses.
See “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” for a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to its most directly comparable IFRS measure.
Company Overview
Zoomd, the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary located in Israel, was incorporated on November 29, 2012 and began operating in 2013 in the area of web search and user behavior-based analytics. In September 2019, through a qualifying transaction undertaken pursuant to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), Zoomd became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, a reporting issuer in Alberta and British Columbia whose common shares are traded on the TSXV. The Company has developed and acquired proprietary patented technology and targets the needs of various segments of the digital marketing industry. The Company offers its services globally. As such, the Company operates in collaboration with hundreds of publishers and global advertisers.
The Company aims to consistently provide clear added value to its customers. The Company’s services and technology stack development roadmap focuses on creating technology solutions which seamlessly integrate with a range of digital media sources. Through this integration, the Company aims to consolidate these sources, allowing its customers to achieve optimal value. The primary focus of this effort is directed towards enhancing user acquisition and retention strategies, tailoring them to the unique requirements of each media source in any screen or platform. Furthermore, the Company is committed to staying attuned to the market dynamics and the changing demands of its customers.
The Company actively evaluates the inclusion of novel distribution media channels into its platform. This adaptive approach ensures that the Company remains responsive to the evolving needs of its customers, contributing to its reputation as a forward-thinking and customer-centric company.
The Company provides clients with KPI (key performance indicators) based advertising and media buying based on the Company’s technology, primarily in mobile user acquisition.
The Company is focusing its efforts, which are based on long-term trends within the online advertising industry, in line with its basic strategies of:
- Providing customers with digital, mobile focused advertising technologies, products and services for improving their media buying effectiveness, cost and measurement, and maximising their user acquisition and retention costs.
- Enabling customers to manage their user acquisition campaign budgets on multiple digital channels, screens and platforms including social networks, ad networks, exchanges, content discovery platforms, influencers, connected TV(CTV), all using data driven KPI-based technology.
- Providing extra tools and features as part of its offering in an attempt to simplify campaign management tasks. Such extra tools and features include creative studio editing capabilities for quick ad adjustments, extra layers of data from app stores and unique optimization abilities for saving time and resources on campaign management tasks.
The Company previously maintained an internal site search engine as an offering for publishers and miscellaneous ad services. In Q2.23, the Company decided to discontinue these solutions, as changes in the market deemed the offerings less competitive and they were no longer generating adequate profit.
The Company's competitive advantage can be summarized as follows:
- The Company's advertising solution is built as a layer on the ecosystem. It is integrated into numerous media channels, consolidating data and streaming it into a centralized platform, giving the Company the ability to analyse and optimise campaigns for its customers on said channels.
-
The Company's diverse offering allows it to choose the best channel for a specific target, maximising the advertiser's advertising budget. There is no dependency on any specific supplier or traffic channel. To that end, the Company uses a combination of research, development and acquisitions to improve its offerings;
-
In 2022, the Company acquired all of Albert Technologies Ltd. and Albert Technologies Inc.'s tangible and intangible assets ("Albert"). Albert is a marketing platform for advertisers which primarily targets Google and Meta;
-
In 2021, the Company acquired all of Performance Revenues Ltd's ("Performance Revenues") tangible and intangible assets; which focuses on influencer and creators marketing;
-
The Company's platform and its products do not require an SDK (Software Development Kit) to be implemented.
- Outside of the walled gardens (Google, Meta, etc.) the marketing landscape is very fragmented. Zoomd enables advertisers to leverage a wide range and various types of media channels, from social to programmatic, OEM's, SDK networks and more. Their KPI's are achieved in all channels, or as a mix.
- The Company is not reliant on the Google/Meta "duopoly". They are a part of the Company's offering, but if not performing well, will not be allocated a portion of the media budgets. The Company's platform offers numerous acquisition channels including social, global publishers, SDK ad networks, DSP's, mobile operators, device manufactures and more. KPIs can be achieved, in scale, with less dependency on the "duopoly".
- As the industry is rapidly changing, the Company invests resources in market analysis, customer management and research and development to maintain its competitive advantage and refine its product to further differentiate itself from the competitors in order to build a healthy base for future growth.

Business Excellence and Operational Efficiency
Over the course of the last few years, the Company has encountered a challenging economic environment, primarily driven by significant macroeconomic changes. These changes had a profound impact on the global business landscape, particularly within the advertising sector, which is the Company's primary domain of operation.
During the past year, as a response to these challenges, the Company's management team undertook a series of strategic actions aimed at mitigating the impact on the Company's financial health and positioning the Company for sustainable growth, including the following actions:
- The strategic decision to cease operations in certain business lines and refocus Company's efforts and own technology on core user acquisition activities. This decision was informed by the maturation and underperformance of several of Company's product development efforts, as well as shifts in niche markets where Company's search engine solution for publishers operated.
- Implementation of substantial cost-reduction measures across various areas of the Company, aiming to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
- Initiatives to diversify the Company's customer portfolio, both in terms of operational segments and geographic reach, to build a more resilient and robust business model.
The financial outcomes of these strategic decisions led to significant improvements. Although the Company discontinued several operations that were no longer aligned with the Company's vision, the Company succeeded in increasing revenues by 135% in Q3.24 compared to Q3.23. Since the implementation of these strategic changes, the Company's revenues have been consistently growing each quarter compared to the previous quarter, with a 20% increase in Q3.24 compared to Q2.24. Furthermore, despite this substantial increase in revenues, the Company managed to maintain a controlled expense structure, with operating expenses as a percentage of revenue at 20%, reflecting a consistent decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue over the past seven quarters.
The increase in revenues combined with the modulated operating costs, led to a continued improvement in the Company's financial results. In Q3.23 the Operating Loss was reduced by approximately 90% compared to the previous quarter. In Q4.23 the Company transitioned from an Operating Loss to an Operating Profit. The improvement continued in Q1.24 and Q2.24. In Q3.24 the Operating Profit increased by approximately $1 million, compared to the previous quarter, totaling $3.2 million.
Adjusted EBITDA grew significantly from $0.6 million in Q3.23 to $3.9 million in Q3.24, resulting in a total of over $8 million in terms of Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company achieved a net profit of $3.2 million in Q3.24, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of net profit growth. In terms of cash flow from operating activities, the Company increased the cash generated from operating activities by $2.5 million compared to Q3.23, totaling $2.7 million.
Our diverse customer base covers multiple sectors and regions, and as a result, our revenue cycles may sometimes be influenced by external factors beyond our control or the quality of service we provide. These external factors can include seasonal trends, macroeconomic effects, internal client decisions to adjust advertising budgets, and wider changes within the customer's environment. Therefore, we have worked diligently to position the Company with a resilient and flexible foundation. This foundation enables us to swiftly and effectively respond to these unpredictable shifts while maintaining a healthy bottom line. The Company remains committed to adapting its strategies in response to evolving market conditions and opportunities, with a steadfast focus on delivering value to the Company's stakeholders and ensuring long-term growth and adaptability.

Financial Operations Overview
Financial Period Ended September 30, 2024.
Revenue
The Company provides clients with KPI based advertising and media buying based on the Company’s technology, primarily in mobile user acquisition, but not limited to.
The KPIs used most frequently are cost per install (CPI), cost per event (CPE), cost per click (CPC) or cost per mille (CPM). Alternatively, the Company may use an agreement whereby the revenue is based on a fixed percentage, by using traffic sources as publishers, ad networks and demand side platforms (DSPs). At the end of each month, the revenues from these advertisers are calculated and recognised, taking into consideration any contractual cap with such advertisers.
The Company used to maintain an internal site search engine as an offering for publishers and miscellaneous ad services. In Q2.23, the Company decided to discontinue these solutions, as changes in the market deemed the offerings less competitive and they were no longer generating adequate profit.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is comprised primarily from costs paid to the publisher or traffic source, for delivering the acquired results (KPIs, CPI, CPE, CPC, CPM) given by the advertisers, or with whom the Company shares the revenues it collects from the advertisers.
Operating Cost and Expenses
The Company’s operating costs and expenses are classified into two categories: research and development expenses and all others (e.g., selling, general and administrative expenses). Operating costs also include amortization of intangible assets acquired in the business combination with Albert and Performance Revenues, and amortization of capitalized software development costs. Both have affected the operating margins. For each category, the largest component is typically personnel costs, which consists of salaries, employee benefits, retention costs for Albert employees who joined the Company after the acquisition (these costs were fully paid in 2023), and share-based compensation. Operating costs and expenses are generally recognised as incurred.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development activities are central to the Company’s business. The Company expects to continue its research and development investments in order to reach its planned milestones of the development roadmap. The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, payments to subcontractors, cloud infrastructure, depreciation and amortization expenses and share-based compensation. The Company capitalizes certain internal and external software development costs, consisting primarily of direct labor associated with creating the internally developed software.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses for the Company’s sales, marketing, executive, finance, legal, human resources, and administrative personnel. It also includes professional service fees and other general corporate expenses, such as communication, depreciation and amortization, public relations, travel expenses and other office expenses.
- 8 -
The Company expects that its selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the future. The Company targets global expansion with partners and establishing local operations in specific regions. It also anticipates additional general and administrative costs associated with being a public company. These public company-related expense increases are anticipated to include the costs of additional subsidiaries in various countries, legal fees, accounting and audit fees, directors' and officers' liability insurance premiums and costs related to investor relations.
Other Expenses – Impairment
Due to changes in market conditions and shifts in the marketing tech industry, the Company decided in Q2.23 to reallocate resources and adjust its investment focus away from certain self-serve components to others within the current solutions (“Restructuring”). The Restructuring involved allocation of resources to areas of greater and faster growth potential and discontinuation of investment in other initiatives the Company worked on. The Restructuring impacted the recoverability of software development costs invested, which were determined to no longer be recoverable. As such, $2.8M of software development costs were written off entirely. Market dynamics, including macroeconomic cycles and shifts in technology in the marketing tech space, have influenced the viability and growth prospects of several components within the current solutions, which led the Company to implement the Restructuring.
Finance Income and Finance Expenses
Foreign currency transactions are translated into United States dollars using the exchange rates prevailing as at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Net Income (Loss) under “finance expenses” and “finance income”.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $3,863 as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $575 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $3,288. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to the increase in revenues and the Restructuring.
The successful implementation of the Restructuring caused a significant improvement of the Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 600% when comparing the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2024, to the corresponding periods in the previous year.

Liquidity & Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, the Company held cash in the amount of $6,836, trade receivables in the amount of $8,543, other current assets in the amount of $219, trade payables in the amount of $3,980, a short term bank loan of $2,004 and other current liabilities in the amount of $1,925.
To date, the Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations and a Credit Line Agreement with a lender that allows the Company to withdraw up to $2,000. This amount is classified as short-term debt on the Financial Statements.
Management believes that the Company's recurring revenues, in addition to its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations with the implementation of cost savings measures, will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements and future plans.

Management of credit risk
Before receiving a new customer, the Company conducts research on the financial strength of the customer and requests that the customer provides credit references from other suppliers with whom the customer maintains business relations.

Pursuant to the Company’s policies, evaluations of the relative financial stability of the different financial institutions are performed on an ongoing basis.
Liquidity and fair value risk

Management constantly analyzes cash balances, which are comprised of cash and cash equivalents. This analysis is based on forecasted cash flows, in accordance with the policies and restrictions set by the Company. The Company keeps a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents, by taking into account the cash required for its operating activities, in order to reduce the liquidity risk that the Company is exposed to.
