Mobivity Announces 41% Revenue Increase for Fourth Quarter of 2019

Recurring Revenue Run-Rate of $12.3 Million; Expansion of agreement with largest customer supports expectations for continued growth, margin expansion, in 2020

PHOENIX, March 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB:MFON), maker of the award-winning Recurrency platform that increases customer visits and spend in restaurants, retail and personal care brands, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter (“Q4”) and full year ending December 31, 2019.

2019 Key Performance Metrics

  • Q4 2019 Revenues increased 41% to $2.7 million compared to $1.9 million in Q4 2018.
  • Net loss narrowed by 40.5% to $(2.5) million compared to $(4.2) million in Q4 2018.
  • Full year 2019 revenues of $10.1 million compared to $11.6 million in 2018
  • 2019 net loss, inclusive of $1 million in non-recurring legal fees, of $(8.8) million compared to $(7.2) million in 2018
  • Executed an expanded five-year agreement on December 31st, 2019 with its largest customer to add an additional $2.5 million in annual recurring revenues.
  • Sales pipeline increased to more than $10 million in annual recurring revenues including opportunities in new verticals including the grocery, convenience store, and online entertainment markets.

Dennis Becker, Mobivity Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our strong momentum from the fourth quarter carried into 2020 by winning a $2.5 million expanded contract with our largest customer resulting in an increased annual recurring run rate of more than $12 million to start the year. Additionally, an accelerating sales pipeline in the fourth quarter, including expansion into new verticals, leads us to believe that growth is achievable throughout 2020 despite the Coronavirus situation. We expect to see a variety of industries adjust their operating models to telecom-based methods for engaging consumers, workers, medical patients, and more. We also expect margins, which were diminished in 2019 due to our customers’ trial usage of advanced SMS and multimedia mobile messaging services, will begin to normalize and increase cash flows.”

Mr. Becker continued, “Our largest customers in the QSR market have historically generated the majority of their business through takeout, drive thru, and delivery sales which has provided some insulation to the growing prohibition to in-store dining in the restaurant space. We’re also seeing accelerating demand for our mobile messaging and receipt solutions to cover an increasing gap created by the absence of national advertising channels such as live sports and entertainment. Our strategy for the remainder of the year is to aggressively support our existing and prospective QSR customers with driving off premise sales while expanding into the convenience store and grocery markets where rapid growth is resulting from the unique global Coronavirus situation. While we’ve historically invested heavily in research and product development, we believe our Recurrency platform is well equipped to support material growth and our operating plan can transition to positive cash flows as we navigate the dynamics of this rapidly evolving market.”
