February 29, 2024 – Vancouver, Canada – Turnium Technology Group Inc. (TSX.V: TTGI) (FSE: E48) (“Turnium” or “the Company”), an industry leader in cloud native SD-WAN, focused on improving application performance for enterprises with safe and secure multi-site connectivity without the burden of expensive dedicated bandwidth and hardware, announces its financial results for Fiscal Q1 2024. All financial information is provided in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
These results are being published following the recent announcement of the Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Claratti Limited that will bring hundreds of Australian based clients into the Turnium portfolio, driving growth in cross-sell opportunities.
Ralph Garcea, Chairman of Turnium commented, “In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Turnium team continued its focus on expanding our channel partners, increasing monthly recurring revenue (MRR), and delivering superior product and service solutions to our global clientele. The Company is very well positioned to achieve cashflow positive results this year, as we continue to execute on our dual pronged growth strategy: First priority is continuing our organic growth initiatives, further expanding our Global Partnership Program which has onboarded 16 new agreements over the last 12 months. The second part of the growth strategy involves mergers and acquisitions, where we have two planned for this year. Our intention to acquire Claratti, discussed below, is one of these strategic acquisitions. We continue to evaluate other acquisitions as we look to scale our revenue over the next few years.”

Special Notes:
It is anticipated that revenues and expenses may vary, perhaps materially, from quarter to quarter due to several factors, including changes in product mix, costs related to planned increase in market share, global expansion costs and ongoing corporate development initiatives. Although revenues may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and such fluctuations may be material, management expects that revenues will increase year over year.
There are no known trends or seasonal impacts on the Company’s business although seasonal trends may develop as the Company grows.
