Steven G. Mihaylo, Chief Executive Officer commented, "I am very pleased with our results, the results give us much to be excited about. This quarter we reached a very important milestone as we exceeded nine million dollars in revenue, which is a high-water mark for us, I am convinced that is only the beginning of additional impressive milestones. We have closed the acquisition of Allegiant Networks, which is a very strong telecom company that provides many advantages to us including providing a substantial presence in the mid-west. The acquisition of Allegiant is a continuation of our growth strategy and will make an instant impact as I know the acquisition is highly accretive. In addition, the acquisition of Allegiant is very important as they were acquired from the Crexendo "fishing pond" which is our description of our base of over 200+ software solution licensees. Allegiant is currently one of our licensees on our platform and already has customers on the Crexendo platform and we will benefit from migrating those that are not on our platform over to Crexendo. That migration will have the dual benefit of providing additional benefits and support to the customers and increasing our margins. Allegiant has incredible products and services, including being a Managed Service Provider (MSP), which expands substantially the Crexendo offerings and opens up additional sales opportunities for all of our locations. With the acquisition we also add additional data centers providing additional redundancy, security, and reliability to Crexendo customers. Perhaps most importantly we have acquired a remarkable staff led by Bryan Dancer, who I have known for over 20 years and who shares the Crexendo commitment to providing our customers with the best products and services that are available anywhere. Finally, we made the acquisition without mortgaging the future of Crexendo, the only debt acquired is a small note that we expect will be paid out of profits from the acquisition. The acquisition is a huge win for us, our shareholders, and our customers"

Mihaylo added "We continue to grow the business. I was encouraged with Non-GAAP net income of $713,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted common share, which shows we are managing the business effectively. This is even more impressive considering the substantial economic uncertainty and headwinds that everyone is facing. I am convinced we will continue to have positive cash flow to grow the business and that our customer base will continue to grow both in the software solution division and service division. With that said, we are working to increase the average sale and the size of our customers. We are working to hone marketing into those larger mid-size and enterprise markets. I am convinced we will grow sales and profits. We will also continue to look for accretive acquisitions on terms that don't cause substantial debt. We will continue to watch every penny we spend and continue to increase shareholder value. I am very proud of our results and very proud of our team."

Doug Gaylor, President, and Chief Operating Officer stated "I too am encouraged with our Q3 results. I am very excited about the Allegiant acquisition and working with the Allegiant team on growing our business organically. The closing of Allegiant is just one of the many steps we have taken in continuing to fulfill our plan. What we have done in a short time is remarkable, we were able to make the business steadily Non-GAAP profitable, able to organically up list to the Nasdaq exchange, able to accomplish a major transformation acquisition in NetSapiens and able to access the Crexendo fishing pond with another accretive acquisition while growing the business organically. The acquisition of Allegiant is a win-win for all parties including the Allegiant customers, our employees, and most importantly our shareholders. We will not rest on the success of this quarter, we will continue to perform, we will work on Steve's initiatives of sales and marketing, and I am convinced substantially grow the business."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP") net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of intangibles. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expense, other income and expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors' use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.

In our November 10, 2022, earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
• they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
• while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
• other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
