Bull points
- we generated positive adjusted operating income of approximately $125,000, which while on the face might seem de minimis, if you compare that to the previous year, we're on the same metric, the business generated a negative loss of around 2 million and around minus 500,000 for the same period. That's a roughly 150% plus improvement in operating performance and a swing from both cash flow negative generation to cash flow positivity.
- Adjusted EBITDA as well came in at roughly half a million dollars versus a loss of roughly $600,000 last year, a $1 million improvement on a three-month basis year over year, or roughly 165% swing on a relative basis.
- we now have several years of operational runway, which gives us the ability to execute deliberately without really dependence on external capital or really shareholder dilutive capital sources.
