Annual recurring revenue run rate at December 31, 2018 increased over 42%

PHOENIX, April 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON), creators of the award-winning customer personalization platform, Recurrency, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2018.

2018 Key Performance Metrics (comparison for full year 2018 versus 2017)

• Annual recurring revenue grew to $12.2 million at the end of 2018 marking an increase of 42% from 2017 full-year revenues of $8.6 million
  
  
• Number of total locations served increased to more than 36,000
  
  
• Consumers engaged through Mobivity powered mobile engagement programs grew to more than 17 million
  
  
• Average annual recurring revenue per location from recently signed contracts grew 41% to $980 per location per year
  
  
• Total value of contracts booked increased 49% to $29.0 million from $19.5 million

Dennis Becker, Mobivity Chairman and CEO, commented, “2018 was an exciting and productive year of transformation for Mobivity. We launched a partnership with a leading global brand, and this new sales channel actively facilitated engagements with several new national restaurant chains in 2018. We acquired Belly, a leading digital loyalty solution, which has proven to be a catalyst to our business, as evidenced by the selection of Belly’s loyalty solution for a network of 5,000+ dealers nationwide of a global brand at the end of last year. We exited 2018 in a stronger competitive position and saw significant improvements in key metrics year over year, reinforcing our confidence in continued rapid growth. Our proven and quantifiable return on investment for our customers is enabling us to extend our contracts, with recent engagements spanning five years and increasingly larger minimum financial commitments. Average Annual Revenue, both from existing and new customers, showed significant improvement this year.”

Mr. Becker continued, “Looking ahead to 2019, Mobivity is well positioned to ride the growing wave of marketing spend shifting to a data-driven, personalized, one-to-one engagement between brands and consumers. The key objectives we plan to work towards in 2019 are continuing the international expansion of locations with our largest customer, rolling out the platform to new customers coming in through our new channel partnerships, and expanding our average annual revenue per location through additional product features. Mobivity services are currently deployed in almost 40,000 restaurants, a small percentage of the total base of U.S. restaurants. With thousands of locations, including international deployments, bringing millions of consumers into our database, and billions of point of sale transactions collected, we have attracted several large technology partnerships that we can leverage to build our digital future. These partnerships are exposing Mobivity to brands that are comprised of hundreds of thousands of locations where we only need modest penetration to achieve accelerated revenue scale. We also plan to further leverage the Belly acquisition into these partnerships, as well as our existing customer base, to drive our annual recurring revenue per location well above $1,000 per location per year. I look forward to an exciting year as we work to expand our presence in the market, continue to evolve our platform, and leverage the brand power we have built.”
