Rory:

Thank you moderator, and thanks to everyone for joining us today for our first quarter 2025 financial results and business update conference call.

So for those of you who have reviewed our 10-Q filed this morning or the summarized results in the press release we issued this morning – well – you already know – right – you know the Company is firing on all cylinders – I’m talking about a 12 cylinder finely tuned exotic sports roadster – yeah – we had a crazy good quarter. This is the VERB we’ve envisioned – this is the VERB we’ve manifested and this is the VERB we have worked so hard to deliver. And the best part – the really best part – is this is just the beginning.

I’ve got to hand it to my management team – they never stopped believing – through all the trials and tribulations – and we’ve had more than our share – they stuck it out with me – we drew strength from one another – and no matter what – we never gave up. I appreciate them all so very much – and our amazing Board of Directors – and now that we’ve begun to hit our stride – they’re all feeling it – they know where we’re taking this vehicle – and for those of you listening to this who have stuck it out with us and for those of you thinking about joining us – from here on out, it’s going to be a fun ride.

We’re cashed-up, zero debt – insanely under-valued – and each VERB division is performing very, very well.

I’m not going to take your time reading the 10-Q or reiterating everything we discussed about the Company just 6 weeks or so ago when we reported our 2024 results – but I will definitely enjoy sharing some of our team’s accomplishments in the first 3 months of this year.

Let’s start with revenue – but first let me provide some context:

In Q1 of 2024 we reported revenue of just $7,000; In Q4 of 2024 we reported revenue of $723,000 – definitely a great quarter and the first full quarter after we instituted a number of changes to our business model – and for the entirety of 2024 – we reported a total of $895,000.

But in Q1 of 2025 we reported $1.3 Million – that’s 80% revenue growth over the prior quarter and approximately 46% growth over all 4 quarters of revenue of 2024 combined.

And while we were busy signing and launching a plethora of new clients, we identified what we believe is the hottest AI social commerce technology company in the market and negotiated the terms of an $8.5 Million cash and stock acquisition, signed a comprehensive term sheet, and then rapidly drove the deal to a closing – all while actively integrating their AI technology into our own platform.

We used about $4.2 Million in cash closing the acquisition – but I liked having a robust – zero debt – cashed-up balance sheet – so being an opportunist we identified a funding opportunity with extraordinary – shareholder friendly terms – negotiated it, documented it and closed it. A non-dilutive, non-convertible, non-voting, preferred stock deal with just a 9% annual dividend – and with that we added $5 Million back onto the balance sheet.

This deal is with a trusted financial partner with whom we’ve now done several very successful deals. I do feel sorry for other companies doing terrible – horrible financings – steep discounts to market price, pre-funded warrants, triple warrant coverage – decimating cap tables and rendering many of these companies unfinanceable going forward who ultimately get shorted into oblivion. You see it every day. Tough times for a lot of companies and I’m very grateful that we’re in such a strong cash position and we’ve been able to maintain a super clean cap table – no warrant overhang and a very tight float and obviously not desperate to find a source of capital.

In fact, with our cash on hand, no debt, and growing revenue across all business units, we expect to be able fund operations easily into 2028 and beyond.

As to the growth behind MARKET.live, we’ve signed many very high profile clients and continue to do so. I’ve been asked why we aren’t announcing them – which we’d have to do multiple times a month – but the answer is most of these deals are where we’re white labeling our platform for these well-known brands and our contract prohibits us from announcing the names. I wish I could – if I could, I doubt our stock would still be trading for 50% of our net cash – with zero value given for all our business units – it’s crazy – just crazy.

I’ve also been asked why we don’t see as many livestreams from MARKET.live as we used to and that’s because our new technology allows us to stream directly from our clients’ own websites and multicast their streams across multiple social media channels simultaneously. This is really the killer app, drawing so many more clients, because it allows these brands to own the customer relationship while still streaming over other social platforms. We’re also seeing strong, strong growth in shoppable ads, among many other areas of our MARKET.live and now Lyvecom business units.

Our telehealth platforms, VanityPrescribed and GoodGirlRX continue to grow month over month adding recurring subscription-based revenue. And our Go Fund Yourself, crowd funding TV show is developing an almost cult-like following and more and more issuers are applying to be on the show, forcing us to become much more selective, and to accommodate the demand we’re now shooting multiple episodes twice a month. Issuers pay to be on the show. We’re about to launch Season 2 on Cheddar.

In closing, I refer you to our Form 10-Q filed today for greater details concerning our Q1 2025 financial results as well as the press release distributed today summarizing those results for additional information I’ve not covered in my conference call today.

So thank you for your interest in VERB and for taking the time to listen to our Q1 2025 financial results. I presume you can tell how excited we are about the business – really excited – and oh yes – I do indeed expect Q2 results to be even better than this Q1 – so stand by.

Operator: This concludes the conference call. You may now disconnect.
