US Revenue Increase YOY 328%, EWA Opt-Ins Up 251%, Strongest Revenue Quarter Since Inception

XTM, Inc. (“XTM” or the “Company”) (QB: XTMIF / CSE:PAID / FSE:7XT), a Miami and Toronto, Denver and London-based Fintech creator of payment innovations including fully certified Earned Wage Access (EWA) through its QRails AnyDay™ product announced the filings of its quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for Q3 2023 which shows, among other things, traction with US revenue at a 328% increase over 2022 and the strongest revenue quarter in the company’s history.

The Company initiated its acquisition of QRails in March 2023 at which time, XTM assumed QRails operations including payroll and accounts payables. XTM closed its acquisition of QRails Inc. on August 18, 2023. The acquisition is strategic in that it accelerates XTM’s traction in the US market, making XTM the first certified and vertically integrated Earned Wage Access (EWA) provider in the world, positioning XTM to compete within the top three EWA providers globally with comparative valuations in the hundreds of millions to billions.

Highlights include:

• Gross dollar value (“GDV”) loads on the Company’s platform grew $10M from the previous quarter and an increase of $43.2MM or 31% from $137.3MM for the prior year’s 3rd quarter.
• Revenue was $1.9MM for the quarter with Q3 2023 as the strongest quarter for revenue since the Company’s inception, increasing $0.4MM or 29% compared to Q3 2022, and $0.2MM or 17% compared to Q2 2023;
• US revenue has increased by $115K or 328% year over year and can be attributed to QRails acquisition and the AnyDay Earned Wage Access (EWA) platform. The EWA receivable, for funds advanced to employees ahead of payday has grown by 251% as of September 30, 2023 to $1,051,000 - up from $419K in March, the month prior to XTM assuming operations;
• As XTM and QRails initiate consolidation, economies are being realized. As of July 2023, there was a reduction of $1.3M in FTE annualized salaries. The combination underway of the two applications, AnyDay and Today Financial, are also furthering cost savings in data management;
• Gross Profit was $0.1MM or 5% of revenue for the quarter; this compares to $0.3MM or 21% of revenue for Q3 2022; Normalizing for the QRail’s acquisition, gross profit for the quarter was $0.3MM or 14% of revenue;
• Operating expenses were $4.0MM for the quarter. Q3 2023 saw an increase of 84% or $1.8MM compared to $2.2MM for Q2 2022. This is due to cost increases associated with the QRails acquisition. Normalizing for the acquisition and one-time non-recurring costs, operating expenses for the quarter would be $2.0MM, or a decline of $0.2MM or 10% reduction year over year;
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.5MM compared to Q3 2023 due to QRails. This is driven from losses contributed from QRails, ahead of its ramp-up and product launch in early 2024, and an increased exposure to foreign exchange losses;
• Net loss was $5.0MM for the quarter compared to a net loss of $1.8MM for Q3 2022;
• The Company fully integrated its US operations with QRails, including the moving the Today Financial US members the AnyDay app as of September 26, 2023.

Subsequent events:

• The Company announced today that in Q3 that it had settled a combined amount of $131,800 CAD in debt via the issuance of a combined amount of 932,857 Common Shares. The Company further announced that subsequent to Q3, the Corporation has settled a combined amount of $460,975 CAD in debt via the issuance of 3,492,499 Common Shares.
