[{"type":"text","content":"TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), a global internet services leader, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. All figures are in U.S. dollars.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"We finished the second quarter of 2024 with strong year-over-year growth of consolidated revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA, driven by a solid quarter from Ting with robust subscriber growth, gross margin increases and a lower operating loss, which is on track with our expectations,\" said Elliot Noss, Tucows President and CEO. \"We also continued to deleverage the business with payments on the syndicated debt using cash flow from Wavelo and Tucows Domains.\"\nFinancial Results \nConsolidated net revenue for the second quarter of 2024 increased 5.2% to $89.4 million from $85.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, driven primarily by year-over-year revenue gains from Ting and Domains.\nGross profit for the second quarter of 2024 increased 15.4% to $20.8 million from $18.0 million from the second quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by large gross margin gains from Ting, as well as gains from Domains. The increase continues to be partially offset by increased network depreciation as the Ting network footprint expands.\nNet loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $18.6 million, or a loss of $1.70 per share, compared with net loss of $31.0 million, or $2.86 per share, for the second quarter of 2023. The decreased loss is primarily the result of the year-over-year impact from a one-time debt extinguishment in Q2 2023 used to reduce the Generate preferred shares obligation, as well as a lower operating loss from Ting in Q2, 2024.\nAdjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter of 2024 increased 70% to $9.2 million from $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. The year over year increase was due to growth of revenues from Ting and Domains, as well as cost management in Ting, Wavelo and Domains.\nCash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2024 were $52.2 million compared with $79.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024 and $159.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023.\nSummary Financial Results(In Thousands of US Dollars, Except Per Share Data)\n3 Months ended June 30\n6 Mont...
