SINGAPORE, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

(Nasdaq:

Management Commentary:

Rohith Murthy, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"We closed out 2024 with a robust quarter of financial and operational results, making clear progress on our path towards profitability as we continue to focus on diversifying our revenue mix toward high-margin products, lowering operating expenses, and improving operational efficiency. Net loss narrowed sharply to US$(18.8) million from US$(94.3) million during the same period last year, and Adjusted EBITDA loss during the quarter improved substantially to US$(2.9) million - our best quarterly performance since going public. With registered members and approved applications increasing 42% and 21% year-over-year in 2024, we are confident in our ability to build upon this momentum and regain topline growth momentum with US$100 million in revenue and generate positive adjusted EBITDA on a quarterly basis in the second half of 2025.

In Q2 2024, we outlined five strategic pillars-Consumer Pull, Conversion Expertise, Operating Leverage, Strong Provider Partnerships, and Insurance Brokerage-and we've made meaningful progress across all of these. We launched seamless, end-to-end purchasing journeys in Travel and Car Insurance, substantially streamlined our operating model to create a leaner, lower-cost base, deepened banking partnerships following a major provider's exit from key markets and significantly accelerated our insurance growth through targeted strategic collaborations.

These results directly reflect the impact our 'efficiency' strategy is having on building a more focused, resilient, and profitable business. We remain the largest credit card digital acquisition partner for the majority of banks across our geographies and are leveraging this strong market position to strategically broaden our focus toward high-margin verticals to improve revenue quality. Insurance revenue grew 40% in 2024 and now accounts for 10% of total revenue while wealth products revenue grew 138%, driven by strong demand for stock and bank account products. These verticals strengthen our margin profile while generating consistent and recurring revenue streams, both of which are key pillars of long-term sustainability. We also laid the foundation for scalable growth by materially lowering operating expenses and improving unit economics with an optimized cost structure across all markets, streamlined operations, and reduced paid marketing and rewards spend.

Looking ahead to 2025, we will maintain our focus on scaling high-margin verticals, particularly insurance, while continuing to tighten cost controls and simplifying workflows. Our product and tech strategy continues to follow a 'buy-over-build' philosophy, enabling faster innovation through strategic partnerships, including new initiatives in AI and automation that are already underway.

Our commitment to becoming an AI-first organization is already translating into several impactful initiatives across the business. We are actively working on deploying AI-powered customer service tools designed to significantly reduce inquiry volumes and achieve higher first-contact resolution rates. Additionally, we are piloting generative AI solutions to accelerate and scale content production efficiently. Throughout the organization, we are exploring opportunities to automate workflows using advanced AI tools and agentic AI to boost productivity, reduce operational overhead, and enable our teams to focus more strategically.

With a debt-free balance sheet, US$42.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and a more efficient and scalable business model, we are well-equipped to capture a greater share of a large and growing addressable market and deliver sustainable, long-term value to shareholders.”

Danny Leung, interim Chief Financial Officer, added:

"Our strong results in the fourth quarter demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy as we continue to make significant strides in the diversification of our revenue mix, expand partnerships with other key providers, and broaden our product offerings. We believe these adjustments position us well for sustained growth, and as providers scale their operations in different regions, we see opportunities to further strengthen our revenue base and deepen our market presence with them.

This quarter, we remained focused on executing our growth strategy and commenced our comprehensive reorganization and restructuring exercise to streamline operations and reduce costs. Our investments this quarter were squarely focused on customer acquisition, technology re-platforming, and data infrastructure, to build a solid foundation for future growth and profitability. These strategic investments were balanced by initiatives to streamline other aspects of our operations designed to enhance efficiency and drive returns.

Looking ahead, we expect adjusted EBITDA to consistently improve, building on the significant progress we made during the fourth quarter. With margins steadily improving, we are well-positioned to drive growth momentum heading into 2025, strengthening our confidence to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA on a quarterly basis in the second half of 2025. Our comprehensive review of our organizational structure, completed alongside a successful reorganization this year, has strengthened our operational foundation and set the stage for continued sustainable growth.”
