Trakopolis Announces Fiscal 2017 Recurring Revenue Growth of 42%

CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 26, 2018 -- Trakopolis IoT Corp. (TSXV:TRAK) ("Trakopolis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a 42% growth in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) from December 2016 to December 2017. MRR, on an annualized basis, for December 2017 was $4.80 million, an increase of $1.42 million from the December 2016 annualized MRR of $3.38 million. The December 2017 annualized MRR also represents an increase of $0.53 million, 15%, over the September 2017 annualized MRR of $4.16 million. Higher prices for subscriptions for new products contributed to MRR growth as expected.

“Anticipated traction with new products contributed to substantial MRR growth in the last 2 quarters of fiscal 2017,” stated Brent Moore, CEO of Trakopolis. “Significantly higher subscription prices for new products are expected to increase average revenue per unit (ARPU) and does not include financed or leased hardware. This further illustrates that we are executing our growth plan while expanding our sales reach with world class partners like Honeywell, Telus, Microsoft and Bell.  Enterprises from major industrial verticals are taking steps to digitize their operations for an increasing number of safety and productivity reasons and Trakopolis and our partners bring unequaled collaborative expertise.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains references to certain non-GAAP financial performance measures such as recurring revenue, subscription pricing, monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and average revenue per unit (ARPU) which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. These non-GAAP financial performance measures should be viewed as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the Company’s results of operations reported under IFRS. “Recurring revenue” includes monthly software subscriptions and resale of cellular and satellite data. Recurring revenue is recognized monthly as services are delivered and is derived from the subscription revenue category within the Company's financial statements. The Company believes that recurring revenue provides useful information to investors because it shows the long-term nature of recurring service revenue.
