ParcelPal Logistics Inc. Reports Record First Quarter 2022 Results Highlighted by Revenue Growth of 125% and Continued Record Margins


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParcelPal Logistics Inc. (“ParcelPal” or the “Company”), (OTC:PTNYF) (CSE:PKG) (FSE:PT0) is pleased to announce its record Q1 2022 financial results highlighted by revenue growth of 125% (to approximately $2.7M), continued record margins and a 74% decrease in net loss (vs. Q1 2021). It is important to note that this was our second largest quarter revenue wise in the history of the Company, second only to Q4 2021 (which was $3.2M). Q1 is also historically our slowest quarter so we anticipate the uptrend to continue as we expand.

Overview

In Q1 2022, the Company continued its expansion into new geographic areas and achieved our second largest quarter of revenue ever (second only to the aforementioned Q4 2021), which was driven by revenue growth of 125% to approximately $2.7 million (up from $1.2 million in Q1 2021). Our margins continue its strong trend which were 15.4% (compared to 0.3% in Q1 2021). Additionally, the Company had a net loss of $359,215 which represents a 74% decrease compared to Q1 2021 (which was $1,392,616).

Our record revenue growth, continued strong margins and significantly lower losses are, in large measure, driven by our expansion into the United States, which is the world’s largest consumer market.

"The actions we have taken to grow our revenue, increase our operating margins and diversify our customer base have placed our Company in a better position to deliver value to our customers," said ParcelPal’s CEO Rich Wheeless. "Hopefully everyone is paying attention to the continued positive trends in our financial performance, and I am very encouraged by the massive drop in our net loss which I see continuing as the Company further expands into new and profitable markets in the current and future quarters."

"We still have more work to do, and we will continue to take actions to strengthen our core business," said ParcelPal’s CEO Rich Wheeless. "I am most proud of the fact that we are executing the Company’s expansion and growth plan that I have laid out, including a continued expansion through organic growth, strategic transactions and/or further acquisitions."
