(TSX: EQ) ("EQ Works") a leader in audience targeting for mobile, social, video and display advertising today announced its financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter-ended December 31, 2013. Total revenue from continuing operations for the quarter was $2.6 million, an increase of 40% from the $1.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2013. The adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter was approximately $197,000, a 64% improvement as compared to a loss of $550,000 in the the third quarter of 2013. Total revenue from continuing operations for the year was $8.0 million and the adjusted EBITDA loss for the year was $2.3 million.

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter ended December 31, 2013

--  Several new agency clients joined our Agency First™ program,
    establishing EQ as their preferred media buying partner
--  Active campaigns grew 120% during the quarter
--  The Company launched Hercules™, an innovative advertising solution
    that has been recognized by experts for its effectiveness at fighting
    click-fraud
--  The Company strengthened its mobile advertising capabilities and
    expanded its team to support increasing demand for innovative mobile
    targeting solutions

"The investments we made during 2013 to refocus the Company on effective audience targeting solutions were put to the test during the busiest quarter in digital advertising," said Geoffrey Rotstein, President and CEO. "We consistently beat our clients' expectations, proving our effectiveness in reaching new audiences and with quality scores that far surpassed what others in the industry were capable of delivering." added Rotstein. "It was a good quarter for EQ as we continue to innovate with products and solutions that deliver better performing ads and produce insights that help companies find new customers."

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We measure the success of our strategies and performance based on Adjusted EBITDA, which is outlined and reconciled with net income (loss) in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Net Loss for the period to Adjusted EBITDA". The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before; (a) depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of domain properties and other intangible assets; (b) share-based payments, (c) restructuring, (d) impairment of goodwill and domain properties and other intangible assets, (e) Income tax expense and recovery, and (f) finance income and costs, net. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the Company's operating performance because it provides information related to the Company's ability to provide operating cash flows for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in its industry.

The non-IFRS financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of IFRS financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-IFRS financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-IFRS financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-IFRS adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the Company's non-IFRS measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

The table below reconciles net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
