Management Commentary

“The 2022 financial results mark the third consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth, improved net income, and positive cash flows from operations,” said David Houston, Chief Financial Officer of LiveWorld. “This highlights our demonstrated ability to grow organically while continuing to invest in our creative and moderation services, our SaaS platform, and our sales and marketing efforts. Each of our top four clients grew approximately 15% - 25%. This, combined with four new client wins at the end of the year, positions us well for 2023.

"As we move into 2023, we expect to see continued growth in revenue and profits from operations. Our strong client relationships and ongoing client acquisitions will drive revenue growth. This will result in continued profits and positive cash flow in 2023. Generally, we see some seasonality in the first quarter, which can have a small impact on revenue and cash flow. However, we expect any impact to be offset over the remainder of 2023.”
