TORONTO, April 13, 2017 - theScore, Inc. (TSX Venture: SCR) ('theScore') today announced the financial results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').

Revenue for the quarter grew to $6.7 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period the previous year. Revenue for the first six months of F2017 grew to $15.2 million versus $12.8 million for the same period in F2016. Revenue growth was powered by theScore's Canadian and US direct sales teams, as well as growth in engagement within theScore's mobile apps.

EBITDA loss for the three months ended February 28, 2017 was $1.4 million versus $3.2 million in the same period the previous year. A combination of an increase in revenue plus savings in expenses led to direct improvements in the Company's profitability. Net and comprehensive loss for the three months ended February 28, 2017 was $2.1 million compared to $4.2 million in the same period the previous year.

Average monthly sessions of theScore's mobile apps reached 378 million compared to 335 million for the same period the previous year, with users opening our apps an average of 86 times a month each. Average monthly active users of theScore's mobile apps were 4.3 million versus 4.4 million in Q2 F2016.

'This quarter saw us once again strengthen the engagement within our mobile apps while increasing the sophistication of our advertising business to drive ongoing revenue growth and positively impact our pathway to profitability,' said John Levy, Founder and CEO of theScore.

'Our product team remains focused on the continued enhancement of our flagship sports app, with new features being rolled out over the remainder of F2017, while also supporting other areas of our business, like esports and bots, to ensure we're meeting the evolving needs of sports fans.'

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing results in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'), theScore also provides supplementary non-IFRS financial measures as a method of evaluating the Company's performance. theScore utilizes earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ('EBITDA') to measure operating performance. theScore's definition of EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, finance income, income taxes, and acquisition costs which in theScore's view do not adequately reflect its core operating results. EBITDA is used in the determination of short-term incentive compensation for all senior management personnel. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net and comprehensive income or loss prepared in accordance with IFRS or as a measure of operating performance or profitability. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
