"Our second quarter results mirror what we had previously communicated wherein clients are finding it difficult to decide on when to launch programs as they assess conflicting signals around inflation, supply chains and consumer sentiment. This is reflected in our bookings remaining pretty much flat between Q1 and Q2 but decreasing when compared to the same period last year. Also, revenue only increased marginally year on year as fewer programs launched this quarter even though many clients have already paid us for these programs. This is evident in the 34% growth in our Deferred Revenues - prepayments we receive from Clients for future program launches. The good news is that this Deferred Revenue will eventually convert to Revenue over the next few quarters that could potentially be interesting for us from a revenue perspective", said Atul Sabharwal, Founder of Snipp. "We are also beginning to realize the benefits of our investments in financial reporting processes, which enabled us to file this quarter more than a week ahead of the deadline, a meaningful step forward in operational efficiency and transparency. Our first half results reflect continued revenue growth, consistent margins, and a robust backlog, all solid indicators of disciplined execution and the increasing strength of our platforms. In addition, we are encouraged by the positive momentum of our newest products - SnippOFFERS and SnippMEDIA. We are now razor focused on bringing in new revenue partners and clients for these products. In the coming weeks we hope to announce our first major partnership in this area."

Non-GAAP Measures

Snipp uses certain performance measures throughout this document that are not recognizable under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles or IFRS ("GAAP"). These performance measures include Gross Margin and EBITDA. Management believes that these measures provide supplemental financial information that is useful in the evaluation of the Company's operations.

Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and IFRS as an indicator of Snipp's performance. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from that of other organizations, and accordingly, these may not be comparable.

Gross Margin

Snipp defines Gross Margin as revenue less campaign infrastructure. The Company's calculation of Gross Margin is not a financial measure that is recognized under GAAP. Investors should be cautioned that the Company's defined Gross Margin should not be construed as an alternative measure to other measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA

Snipp defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash operating expenses of share-based payments, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses).

Bookings Backlog

Snipp defines Bookings Backlog as future revenue from existing customer contracts to be recognized in future quarters. Bookings get translated into revenues based on IFRS principles and the Bookings Backlog reflects how revenues in future quarters are steadily being booked today.

The Following are calculations of EBITDA:
