"Record Company profits in 2024 marked a pivotal moment for Kidoz," said Jason Williams, CEO of Kidoz Inc. "Our investment in building a proprietary, privacy-first technology has positioned us as a key partner to the world's leading family brands. As digital safety shifts from a differentiator to an industry standard, we're well-positioned for continued growth driven by increasing demand for compliant, high-performance mobile solutions leading to greater profitability for Kidoz.

Kidoz has built the privacy defining platform that enables the delivery of safe media to children at scale. We are constantly improving our system to stay ahead of privacy regulations and work closely with the leading certifier to ensure that every aspect of our operation is private and always keeps our brand partners completely safe. With many data and privacy risks inherent in the child-directed media landscape, Kidoz provides brands with a trusted solution. As we are seeing age confirmation requirements increase through the adoption of age gates, Kidoz's importance in the media ecosystem increases as firms look for established solutions to implement safe media offerings."

The following tables present our unaudited consolidated quarterly results of operations for each of our last four quarters. This data has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements that have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such information. These unaudited quarterly results should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements.

CAUTION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in the last Quarterly Form 6-K, including our unaudited consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net income (loss) plus depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest, stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights business trends that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.

Our Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled as follows:
