“Our continued focus on earnings generation and business simplification are delivering great results for the business,” said Steve Levely, CEO of Ackroo. “On the earnings side we are delivering both year over year and quarter over quarter growth affording us the ability to pay down debt, buy back shares and have capital to acquire our next company. We are accomplishing this by taking a very lean approach to our business in regards to staffing while also having better financial discipline around renegotiation of supplier agreements and overall business management. On the solution side our divesture of GGGolf and our move to put less focus on our AckrooPOS business and more focus on our AckrooMKTG and AckrooPAY business is leading to revenue growth and operational efficiencies across the business. The less is more is certainly playing true for Ackroo. We still have plenty more to accomplish and improve on however I am really excited about the progress we are making and what our future looks like for our shareholders, clients and employees.”
