POSaBIT Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue of $8.2 Million; Up 66% Year-over-Year and 29% Sequentially

Raises Low End of Full Year 2022 Gross Profit Guidance; Expects $9.5 to $10.0 Million
Reiterates Full Year 2022 Revenue Guidance of $37 to $40 Million


POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE: PBIT, OTC: POSAF), the leading provider of payments infrastructure in the cannabis industry, today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

“Second quarter revenue of $8.2 million was up 29% sequentially, showing strong growth over the first quarter,” said Ryan Hamlin, CEO and Co-founder of POSaBIT. “We successfully on-boarded more than 100 locations in the second quarter and now have more than 500 merchant contracts that are leveraging our solutions. The increasing adoption of electronic payments in lieu of cash across the industry, combined with our continued onboarding of new merchants at a steady pace, enabled us to outperform the industry and increase our market share. Stabilizing industry trends, our plans for additional installations in the coming months, the new onboarding of the largest privately held MSO with operations in seven states and the recently announced guaranteed $20 million partnership with a large technology provider, reinforces our optimism for continued growth and achieving our revenue and profit targets for 2022. Deals like this set us up not only for a great year this year but for many years to come.”

Hamlin continued, “July was the first month in Company history with over $3 million in revenue and based on our current visibility, we are reaffirming our full-year 2022 revenue guidance of between $37 and $40 million, which represents growth of more than 80% at the midpoint compared to 2021, and increasing the lower end of our gross profit guidance range from $9.0 million to $9.5 million. Furthermore, we expect to return to positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2023.”
