Ackroo achieves 3rd straight quarter over quarter of revenue growth

OTTAWA, April 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Ackroo Inc. (TSXV: AKR), a gift card, loyalty and rewards technology and services provider, today announced that it has filed financial results for Ackroo Inc. for the three months ended March 31^st, 2015.

The results for the three months ended March 31^st, 2015 reflect the Company's 3^rd straight quarter over quarter of revenue growth as well as 4% revenue growth and 65% operating cost reduction over the same period the previous year.  The results were fueled by the Company's continued efforts to reduce costs and increase revenues while continuing to enhance their market leading gift card and loyalty solution offering.

"Our results further validate our corporate strategy with our 3^rd straight revenue growth quarter and our significant operating loss reduction" said Steve Levely, chief executive officer at Ackroo. "This quarter represents our first quarter under our new cost and operating structure and to see us deliver both quarter over quarter and year over year growth under this structure is very exciting.  During this quarter we also completed our first acquisition through the purchase of PhotoGIFTCARD and have already been able to not only begin to optimize and integrate their operations into Ackroo we have also already been able to grow revenues from them.  We secured our first PhotoGIFTCARD customer to begin processing and ordering their gift cards through Ackroo plus we saw corporate orders increase for the PhotoGIFTCARD merchants and in doing so we significantly increased PhotoGIFTCARD's year over year revenue during this period. Since taking ownership and operations effective February 1^st 2015 PhotoGIFTCARD related revenues increased from $5,653 in February/March 2014 to $24,826 in February/March 2015 representing a 457% increase. The Company also secured our newest reseller in West Technology Group who will be focused on driving results for Ackroo across the Caribbean. We are excited about this new partnership and expect revenue contribution from this new channel to begin at the end of Q2/beginning of Q3 2015.  I am thrilled with the accomplishments the Company has made this quarter as we not only accomplished all of the items mentioned we also were on budget for the quarter so that we are very much on track for a very successful 2015."
