Steady growth of the Company's contractor solution Renoworks Pro also contributed.

The net loss for the first quarter was reduced to $125,753 from $384,653 compared to the same period in 2023, attributed to increased revenues and decreased personnel costs and professional fees.

Additionally, the Company saw an improvement in gross margin percentage, mainly due to higher margins from hosting and licensing revenues and investments in efficient project delivery.

"We continue to focus on growth by offering enhanced solutions to our existing customers and new growth from Renoworks Pro.

We continue to play a critical role in the homeowner experience and our data insights are positioned to add innovation to the industry."

*Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure not recognized under IFRS. However, management of Renoworks believes that most shareholders, creditors, other stakeholders and investment analysts prefer to have these measures included as reported measures of operating performance, a proxy for cash flow, and to facilitate valuation analysis. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock 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.

Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability. References to the Renoworks' Adjusted EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of Renoworks posted on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
