TORONTO, June 20, 2024 /CNW/ - PUDO Inc. ("PUDO" or the "Company") (CSE:  PDO) (OTCQB: PDPTF), today filed audited financial results and operational highlights for the Fiscal 2024 year ended February 29, 2024 ("FY 2024").

Year over Year	FY 2024	FY 2023	% Change
Revenue from Operations	$3,257,696	$3,834,049	-15.0 %
Gross Profit	$1,295,840	$1,477,774	-12.3 %
Comprehensive loss for the period	($499,676)	($327,812)	51.9 %

* Comprehensive loss position increased 51.9%

Commented Elliott Etheredge, PUDO CEO, "During the second half of 2024, we made some significant accomplishments particularly with the partnerships we entered into with Staples Canada and WISH.  While the annual results were negatively impacted by a customer's change in their business model for processing returns, we have benefited from increased organic volume from our existing customers.  During the course of the year, we also made significant changes to our cost structure which has substantially strengthened our profitability and cash flow and feel that we are well positioned for FY 2025."

In FY 2024, returns accounted for 46% of revenue vs. 32.8% in FY 2023. 

PUDO continues to expand the availability and volume of its PUDO Label Return services. By increasing the number of retailers using the solution and partnering with additional SAAS and 3PL providers, the PUDO network is becoming an important part of the e-commerce returns solution.

A complete copy of the audited consolidated financial statements and the Management's Discussion and Analysis Report for the year ended February 29, 2024, can be found on the CSE website at www.thecse.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .
