"The Kidoz privacy-first digital advertising platform experienced unprecedented demand from our brand partners in the first quarter of 2025, sending revenue to record first quarter highs. This incredible performance enabled our second consecutive quarterly profit and positions the Company perfectly to secure a record full year of operations," said Jason Williams, Kidoz CEO. "Kidoz is stronger than ever and we are thrilled with our results as we continue to deliver on our mission of safe digital advertising at scale across the globe."

"Digital advertising is undergoing a seismic shift as AI transforms the way that users navigate and engage with digital content. User consent to data tracking and profiling is at an all-time low which strengthens the Kidoz position as a fully private and contextual means to reaching target customers. Furthermore, as Kidoz operates its technology in app-based gaming environments, not on the open web, the Company has been unaffected by the decrease in web clicks as a result of AI based online activity. In fact, in-app gaming is an entertainment and media category that is at an all-time high in terms of usage and attention from media strategists and planners."

"Kidoz, a market leader for private in-app gaming media, believes that our full 2025 results will be a record for the Company. However, we are presently seeing some short-term weakness in the advertising sector as brands look for clarity to the US tariffs situation."

CAUTION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in the last Quarterly Form 6-K, including our unaudited consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net income (loss) plus depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest, stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights business trends that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.

Our Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled as follows:
