YANGAROO ANNOUNCES Q2'2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE QUARTERLY POSITIVE NORMALIZED EBITDA

TORONTO, CANADA - AUGUST 28, 2024 - YANGAROO Inc. ("Yangaroo", "Company"), (TSX-V: YOO, OTCBB: YOOIF), a software leader in media asset workflow and distribution solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The second quarter financial statements and corresponding management's discussion and analysis (the "Second Quarter Filings") are available at www.yangaroo.com and at www.sedarplus.ca.Please note that all currency in this press release is denominated in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.

We are pleased to report significant advancements in the second quarter of 2024. Despite a decline in sales volume and revenue, after adjusting for seasonality, our operating income has shown considerable improvement compared to the previous year. Net cash flow from operating activities more than tripled, reaching $525,087 in the first six months of 2024, compared to the operating cash flow of $145,446 during the same period last year. This growth is primarily due to increased operating income as management continues to navigate a challenging environment and improve operational efficiency.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, operating income increased to $110,704 and normalized EBITDA increased to $337,816, up from $17,371 and $237,583, respectively, in Q1'2024. This improvement is largely attributed to reduced costs in headcount, marketing, and technology, though it was offset by higher general and administrative expenses.

The Advertising Division maintained consistent delivery volumes and sales per customer, with the exception of a decline in advertising delivery from one major direct brand client compared to their prior year's ad delivery volume, offset by new accounts and additional revenue from the Millenia3 acquisition. This major direct brand is a seasonal advertiser, primarily active in the first half of the year, so the impact on the second half of the year is expected to be minimal. The Music Division's revenue remained flat year-over-year, and is continuing to develop the North American market through an increase in social media marketing along with conference exhibition and attendance. The Awards Division saw a slight decline in revenue compared to the same period last year which is primarily due to the timing of each award show only. The Awards Division has also now added an additional Award Show contract in its roster, which is to be completed later this year.

Grant Schuetrumpf, CEO of Yangaroo, commented, "We're excited to mark our eighth consecutive quarter of positive Normalized EBITDA, a clear result of our relentless focus on stabilizing operations while delivering top-tier service to our clients. Strengthening our balance sheet remains a priority, and we're continuing to drive deleveraging through strong operating cash flow. As we head into the second half of 2024, we remain laser-focused on executing our growth strategy by expanding our customer base, and continual investment in our technology platform."

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The following non-IFRS definitions are used in the press release because management believes that they provide useful information regarding the Company's ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned that the definitions are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be construed to be alternatives to revenues and net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of performance, liquidity or cash flows. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from the methods used by other entities and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities or in other jurisdictions.

EBITDA as defined by the Company means Earnings Before Interest and financing costs (net of interest income), Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. EBITDA is derived from the statements of comprehensive income (loss) and can be computed as revenues less salaries and consulting expenses and property, technology, marketing, administration expenses and any non-recurring items.

Normalized EBITDA as defined by the Company means EBTIDA adjusted for one-time non-recurring items or non-cash item such as stock-based compensation expenses, foreign-exchange expenses, and gain on revaluation of contingent consideration.

EBITDA Margin and Normalized EBITDA Margin as defined by the Company means EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, respectively, as a percentage of revenue.

Working capital as defined by the Company means current assets less current liabilities.

Liquidity as defined by the Company means cash plus available capacity in the Company's revolving credit facility.

The Company believes EBITDA, EBITDA margin, liquidity, and working capital, are useful measures because they provide information to both management and investors with respect to the operating and financial performance of the Company.
