Onfolio Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ONFO, ONFOW)
(OTC: ONFOP) (the "Company" or "Onfolio"), a company that acquires
and manages a diversified portfolio of online businesses, today
announced that its chairman and chief executive officer released
the following letter to Onfolio shareholders.
A longer version as part of a “2024 In Review” piece has been
posted on the Company’s corporate website at
https://onfolio.com/2024-in-review.
Dear Shareholders,
What a difference a year makes.
Looking back on 2024, I’d like to reflect on our journey and
progress in light of our original thesis. We started with four key
beliefs:
- There are hundreds or thousands of
profitable online businesses undervalued due to idiosyncratic risks
or suboptimal operations.
- Aggregating these businesses reduces individual risk,
strengthening the portfolio.
- Our operational expertise enables us to run and grow these
businesses more effectively than their previous management.
- Our public company status allows us
to access capital at costs lower than the returns generated by our
acquisitions.
In 2024, we made significant strides in all these areas.
1. Strategic Acquisitions Strengthened Our
Portfolio
We acquired three new businesses, adding eight revenue streams
and $6M in revenue:
- RevenueZen (RZ) (January 2024): A
content marketing agency with $1.4M revenue and $227K net profit.
RZ retained its entire team post-acquisition, enhancing operational
expertise across our portfolio. This acquisition demonstrated our
ability to structure deals with minimal upfront cash, utilizing
promissory notes, preferred shares, and seller financing.
- DDSRank (July 2024): A niche SEO agency for dentists ($500K
revenue, $200K net profit). Funded via one of our our SPV funds,
preferred shares, and seller notes, requiring minimal Onfolio
cash.
- Eastern Standard (ES) (October 2024): A digital marketing
agency well known in the health and education industries, with $4MM
revenue and $630K net profit. This was structured similarly to
DDSRank, with SPV fund participation enabling us to secure a
majority stake while preserving capital.
Each acquisition reinforced our ability to execute
capital-efficient deals while improving operational efficiency.
2. Evolving Our Operating Model
Effective post-acquisition management is key to our success.
While we initially operated as a centralized entity and later
decentralized entirely, in 2024, we adopted a hybrid
model;“centralized strategy, decentralized execution.” This allows
portfolio company leaders to focus on their strengths while
benefiting from Onfolio’s shared expertise, strategic oversight,
and best practices.
This approach enhances operational efficiency, accelerates
growth, and enables acquired businesses to maintain and expand
profitability. It also allows us to actively participate in
strategic hiring, key decision-making, and resource allocation,
maximizing value creation across our holdings.
3. Expanding Our Capital Strategy with SPVs
In March 2024, we launched SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles),
allowing accredited investors to co-invest in acquisitions. This
proved instrumental in funding DDSRank and ES, enabling us to
secure valuable businesses while preserving Onfolio’s cash. While
SPVs involve higher capital costs due to equity sharing, they
provide an effective solution for funding accretive deals without
reliance on traditional debt markets.
For SPV investors, this offers exposure to specific online
businesses with a clear return profile, albeit with higher risk and
less diversification than Onfolio itself. While not a long-term
strategy, SPVs will remain part of our acquisition playbook in
2025, alongside preferred shares.
4. Quoting Our Preferred Shares on OTCQB
A major milestone was quoting our preferred shares on OTCQB,
providing liquidity for early investors and expanding access for
new ones. Each share pays a $3 annual dividend, appealing to
income-focused investors. Since 2022, we’ve raised $1.5M in
preferred share financing and issued $3M of preferred shares as
part of acquisition financing.
This liquidity should drive demand, potentially allowing us to
raise capital more efficiently in 2025 at a lower cost (12%) than
SPVs. We anticipate growing this funding channel, unlocking further
acquisition opportunities with minimal dilution.
On the Verge of Profitability
Throughout 2024, we have significantly reduced our losses and we
now appear to be essentially at profitability. We’ve reached a
position where we can continue operations without requiring
additional fundraising or acquisitions to achieve profitability,
yet we will continue to pursue both because they accelerate our
growth and long-term value creation. With this foundation, we
expect to move firmly into sustained profitability in the near
term.
Looking Ahead to 2025
With our acquisition model validated, capital access expanded,
and operational efficiencies improving, 2025 promises even greater
momentum. Our roadmap is clear:
- Continue acquiring high-quality
businesses, where synergies create exponential value.
- Expand capital raising efforts, leveraging preferred shares and
SPVs.
- Further optimize operations,
scaling our playbook for sustained growth.
If we execute well, we anticipate achieving significant
profitability in the near term, reinforcing our ability to deliver
compounded returns for our shareholders.
Onward to an even stronger 2025.
