TORONTO, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clip Money Inc. (TSX-V: CLIP) (OTCQB: CLPMF) (“Clip Money” or the “Company”), a company that operates a multi-bank self-service deposit system for businesses, is pleased to announce its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company reported continued revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025, up 225% from Q1 2024, while cost of revenues were up only 35% during the same time period, maintaining high operating leverage into the new year.

First Quarter Financial 2025 Highlights:

• Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 (“Q1 2025”) was $972,706, compared to $299,176 in the first quarter of 2024 (“Q1 2024”), which equates to 225% growth year-over-year (“YoY”). Q1 2025 revenue was down 16% quarter-over-quarter (“QoQ”) compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 (“Q4 2024”), which was a function of Q4 seasonality from holiday shopping. Excluding the impact of seasonality, revenue grew 11% QoQ.
  
  
• Revenue growth continues to outpace changes in Costs of Revenue (“COR”). Q1 2025 COR of $1,009,557 was up 35% YoY, relative to 225% YoY revenue growth.
  
  
• YoY revenue growth for Q1 2025 was driven by a 153% increase in new deposit users, and a 10% increase in average monthly deposit revenue per user. Deposit revenue growth was supported by contribution from new products, namely revenue from Change Orders and implementation fees. New product revenue represented 22% of total revenue in Q1 2025 compared to 9% in Q1 2024.
  
  
• Operating expenses for Q1 2025 were $1,832,196, compared to $1,680,477 in Q1 2024, which represents a 9% YoY increase. Q1 2025 operating expenses were 8% higher QoQ compared to Q4 2024. Net loss for Q1 2025 was $2,280,281, compared to $2,397,212 in Q1 2024, which represents an improvement of 5% YoY.
  
  
• On February 24, 2025, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of an unsecured convertible note for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000 from Cardtronics Inc., a subsidiary of NCR Atleos Corporation.

Network & Customer Highlights:

• Clip Money grew its leading shopping center network to 473 ClipDrop deposit units in Q1 2024, adding 29 additional shopping center locations in the quarter.
  
  
• Continued organic growth from existing customers led to 401 new users in the quarter. Existing customers drove immediate adoption at newly deployed mall locations. In addition, we welcomed several new retailers to the growing Clip customer base this quarter, including Pop Mart, Squishable, Spring Step Shoes, and Go Retail.
  
  
• Clip has been laying the groundwork for a major expansion of our U.S. business deposit network. In partnership with Green Dot, Clip will launch ClipCenter in Q2, adding over 4,000 over-the-counter deposit locations to complement our existing ClipDrop and Clip ATM footprint. This expansion supports our strategic goal of building the largest and most convenient business deposit network in the U.S.—a valuable utility for financial institutions, fintech’s and businesses alike. Additional launch details will be shared in the weeks ahead. 
  

“We are pleased with our Q1 results, which position Clip for continued growth through 2025. The ongoing addition of store locations by our largest customers underscores our commitment to delivering value and reliable, differentiated service in a category that has long been underserved. We also achieved a key strategic milestone this quarter with the expansion of our network through a partnership with Green Dot. This partnership will add more than 4,000 over-the-counter deposit locations at major big-box retail stores, significantly enhancing the scale, convenience and capacity of the Clip Network. We believe this expansion further strengthens our value proposition to financial institutions, fintech’s and businesses nationwide. ”
