NameSilo Technologies CEO Paul Andreola stated: "Once again we are very pleased with another strong quarter and record results. We continue to be one of the fastest growing domain registrars in the world. The continued strong growth in customers, domains under management (now over 3.37 million) and the introduction of new complementary services generated record numbers in quarterly revenues, adjusted EBITDA* and bookings*. The Company's focus in 2020 will be offering customers new integrated products to enhance user experience, increase brand loyalty, and continue to drive strong revenue growth, margin improvement and average revenue per user."
Kristaps Ronka, NameSilo LLC CEO comments: "Our team continues the phased launch of our new website and is working on adding new services. We are now also galvanizing our SEO strategy that has been neglected thus far. We see a significant opportunity for NameSilo's continued organic growth and expect the impact of this effort will begin to materialize in 2 months and accelerate over time. Our website builder product will be pushed out in the next two weeks. We will also launch our site import tool by the end of Q4 and will be targeting customers that have been overpaying with our competitors. Our focus is to continue to provide services better and cheaper than any of our competitors. The internet services space has become commoditized and the long-standing tradition of fooling users with bait and switch schemes and overcharging for products is coming to an end. We are excited to be a leader in this positive change."
Mr. Ronka continues: "To our domainers - we are working on a new domain brokerage platform called "NameLot". We are very excited about this amazing new tool that will serve our large domainer customer base to buy and sell domains with ease and efficiency. Expect to hear more about this in Q2"

*Non-IFRS Financial Measure
Readers are cautioned that "Adjusted EBITDA" and "total bookings" are measures not recognized under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring gains or losses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons. Total bookings include the full amount of cash received from new domain bookings, renewals and other related services. Whereas, under IFRS, the Company records revenue from domain booking and renewal fees on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract term. However, the Company's management believes that "total bookings" provides investors with insight into management's decision-making process because management uses this measure to run the business and make financial, strategic and operating decisions. Further, "total bookings" also provides useful insight into the Company's operating performance on a yearly basis. "Total bookings" do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that "Adjusted EBITDA" and "total bookings" are not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS and should not, on their own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability.
NEITHER THE CSE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDERS (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE CSE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
