Quarterly Results Were Led by Growth in Our Communications Business, Which Increased 5% to $3.7 million from Q2 2021, and now Represents 64% of Total Revenue
RALEIGH, NC / ACCESSWIRE / August 4, 2022 / Issuer Direct Corporation (NYSE American:ISDR) (the "Company"), an industry-leading communications and compliance company, today reported its operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Brian Balbirnie, CEO of Issuer Direct, commented, "Despite many uncertainties in the market, we delivered strong cashflows from operations, gross margin improvement and sustained customer count levels during the second quarter. Additionally, we repurchased approximately $3.9 million dollars of our outstanding common stock during the quarter for a total of approximately 163,000 shares, which, as we have said, is part of our capital allocation strategy and we believe benefits our shareholders both in the short and long term."
Mr. Balbirnie continued, "During the quarter, our ACCESSWIRE business performed similar to the first quarter of this year and was up 16% year-over-year. ACCESSWIRE is a product we continue to invest in both from a technological perspective as well as entry into new markets that will further build both our brand and customers counts globally."

Non-GAAP Information
Certain Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. In the calculation of these measures, the Company excludes certain items, such as amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, tax impact of adjustments, other unusual items and discrete items impacting income tax expense. The Company believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in the Company's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such Non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and manage operations. The release and the attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the Non-GAAP measures referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial statements and investors should evaluate them carefully. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

1) The adjustments represent the amortization of intangible assets related to acquired assets and companies.
2) The adjustments represent stock-based compensation expense related to awards of stock options, restricted stock units or common stock in exchange for services. Although the Company expects to continue to award stock in exchange for services, the amount of stock-based compensation is excluded as it is subject to change as a result of one-time or non-recurring projects.
3) For the six months ended June 30, 2022, this adjustment gives effect to a one-time executive recruiting fee of $90,000 and merger and acquisition expenses of $16,000.
4) This adjustment gives effect to the tax impact of all non-GAAP adjustments at the current Federal rate of 21%.
5) This adjustment eliminates discrete items impacting income tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the discrete items relate to an excess stock-based compensation benefit recognized in income tax during the periods.
