"We're proud of the revenue growth and financial improvements achieved in Q1 2024", stated Jason Williams, Kidoz CEO. "The digital advertising landscape continues to evolve in 2024 with a transition from the heightened activity seen during the pandemic. However, Kidoz has adapted its strategy and been successful refining our strategies to meet the changing market dynamics," continued Williams. "The Kidoz contextual network remains the leading platform for engaging kids and families on mobile devices while creating robust user engagement and brand awareness for advertising partners. Kidoz's financial results for Q1 2024 show good improvement over Q1 2023, with revenues up by 7% and losses reduced by 33%. Our first quarter results, which usually account for approximately 10% of our annual revenues, position the Company well for sustained growth throughout 2024. Despite the gradual normalization in ad spending, we see significant potential for brand advertising in mobile in-app media as it remains an underutilized channel in digital advertising strategies. Although comprehensive buying from brands on mobile games is still in its early stages, the groundwork is being laid, and we anticipate significant future growth in this area," continued Williams.

"Major brands that historically relied on traditional media channels like television, radio, and print to reach young audiences are increasingly turning to digital solutions. Kidoz is at the forefront of this shift, enabling brands to connect with their target audiences safely and contextually through mobile devices. Our platform offers a secure and effective means for brands to communicate their messages, aligning with the latest trends in digital advertising."

"Additionally, the regulatory landscape continues to see significant developments aimed at enhancing online child privacy protections in both the United States and Europe. These legislative efforts are expected to boost Kidoz's market position, as our platform is designed to comply with stringent privacy standards and is not a target of policies limiting the usage of social media by children.

"Management is optimistic about the prospects for 2024, anticipating a strong year of growth driven by our strategic investments and the ongoing development of our technologies. We believe that Kidoz will continue to lead the mobile brand and performance advertising market for kids and families, delivering innovative solutions that set us apart from the competition," concluded Jason Williams, Kidoz CEO.

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:
