Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) - Breaking News Alert - $TAPM #TAPM $Tapinator #Tapinator

New York, NY – August 13, 2018 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a developer and publisher of mobile games and applications on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms is pleased to announce a worldwide distribution deal for its Solitaire Dash mobile game with Cheetah Mobile (NYSE: CMCM).

Under the four-year initial agreement, Cheetah becomes the exclusive worldwide distributor for all mobile versions of the Solitaire Dash game.

Cheetah Mobile is a leading mobile internet company dedicated to making the world smarter. It aims to provide leading apps for mobile users worldwide and connect users with personalized content powered by artificial intelligence. Cheetah Mobile was formed in November 2010 as a merger between Kingsoft Security and Conew Image, bringing together Kingsoft Security's 18 years of security technology experience and Conew's internet DNA. The Company has attracted approximately 600 million global MAUs in more than 200 countries and regions, of which approximately 70% are located outside of China.

Solitaire Dash is Tapinator’s horse-racing themed tri-peaks solitaire mobile game which originally launched in 2017 and recently received a significant update for its 2.0 version. The user interface was completely redesigned in the form of a map to visually represent player progress. This redesign has resulted in a map featuring 324 unique levels across 18 racetracks. Players now have many additional ways to increase earning potential and in-game rewards, including purses for completing racetracks and "sponsorships" that are awarded for completing in-game content. In short, Solitaire Dash 2.0 now combines the proven systems of top grossing card games with its own unique features to create a best-in-class solitaire product. Tapinator’s CEO, Ilya Nikolayev, has personally created the vision and overseen the development of Solitaire Dash since the game’s inception.

Commenting on the agreement, Tapinator President Andrew Merkatz said “Given the overwhelmingly positive player response and monetization potential with Solitaire Dash, we are very excited to work with Cheetah Mobile to bring the game to their massive worldwide mobile audience. We look forward to working with Cheetah Mobile to continue to enhance and localize the game in order to delight more players and capture market share within the highly lucrative solitaire category on mobile.

"It’s exciting to partner with Tapinator," said Keith Huan, Producer of Cheetah Games. "Solitaire Dash offers hybrid game play of classic Solitaire combined with a horse racing theme. We really looking forward to working with Tapinator to optimize and localize the game in order to deliver a unique game experience to our users worldwide."

Tapinator Provides Product Line Update

New York, NY – July 9, 2018 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a developer and publisher of mobile games and applications on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms today provided a general product line update and an overview of recent and upcoming product launches.

Full-Featured Games

The Company continues to have significant conviction regarding its Full-Featured Games and Applications business. The Company’s goal for its Full-Featured business is to create franchise-type products that are evergreen in nature (also known as “Forever Franchises”). In order to accomplish this goal, the Company understands the need to develop products that achieve customer lifetime values (LTVs) that exceed the customer acquisition cost, at scale. The Company has been able to achieve this, at certain download volumes, for two products: Video Poker Classic and Solitaire Dash. The Company believes that, in 2018, it will be able to improve core metrics and scale both of these games via marketing, as well as launch new products that can join Video Poker Classic and Solitaire Dash as Forever Franchises.

Our Full-Featured product pipeline highlights include:

Solitaire Dash 2.0 (released on iOS June 14, 2018): our horse-racing themed tri-peaks solitaire game received a significant update for its 2.0 version. The user interface was completely redesigned in the form of a map to visually represent player progress. This redesign has resulted in a map featuring 324 unique levels across 18 racetracks. Players now have many additional ways to increase earning potential and in-game rewards, including purses for completing racetracks and "sponsorships" that are awarded for completing in-game content. In short, Solitaire Dash 2.0 now combines the proven systems of top grossing card games with its own unique features to create a best-in-class solitaire product. Early results from the game update have exceeded management’s expectations and have resulted in D1 – D14 player retention improvements of 31%-59% from previously strong baseline metrics. The game is scheduled to be released on the Google Play and Amazon platforms later this month.

Freemium Subscription Product 1 (scheduled for release August 2018): we will be providing a more detailed application description as the release date approaches.

Freemium Subscription Product 2 (scheduled for release September 2018): we will be providing a more detailed application description as the release date approaches.

Dice Mage Duel (scheduled for release September 2018): with this upcoming sequel to the critically acclaimed Dice Mage and Dice Mage 2 games, magical dice dueling is back! Battle other mages in this turn-based multiplayer card game. Summon monsters, conjure spells, and roll mystic dice! Collect cards, find and upgrade powerful loot to become the ultimate Dice Mage. The first two Dice Mage games have strong short-term retention and average revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU). Management believes that the introduction of multiplayer game-play along with other key changes to the game will result in strong long-term retention thereby providing the opportunity to profitably scale the product.

Rapid-Launch Games

As communicated repeatedly over the past eighteen months, we previously recognized that our Rapid-Launch Game product line had peaked and that we had chosen to pivot the strategic focus of Tapinator to our Full-Featured Games business, where we believe the opportunity to be greater and more sustainable. While our Rapid Launch games library continues to be significant in scale and provide a long tail of meaningful revenue to the Company, recent changes in the Google Play store have reduced the discovery of our existing Rapid Launch Games and have likely made the introduction of new Rapid Launch Games to be more challenging. An explanation of these changes may be found here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/06/improving-discovery-of-quality-apps-and.html. While we will continue to assess the long-term impact of these changes, we do expect to see a materially negative impact on our Rapid Launch Game results for the remainder of this year. We plan to announce our second quarter results on or around August 15th, 2018, and will provide greater detail at that time, including what impact, if any, these changes will have on our previously announced 2018 guidance.

Blockchain Games

In January of this year, we announced the creation of a new subsidiary to develop and publish distributed apps and games that leverage blockchain technology. Since then, we have launched two fully functioning products, Dark Winds and BitPainting. We recognized that the blockchain gaming market was in its infancy. To that end, we previously communicated to our shareholders that we did not expect these efforts to contribute materially to our 2018 revenues. We are extremely proud of the high quality of both of these products and how they were brought to market both efficiently and on schedule. That being said, we are disappointed in the slow commercial adoption of both products. While we will continue to selectively develop both products, we are taking a cautious go-forward approach regarding blockchain games as we recognize that the addressable market may currently be too small to generate significant near term value for our shareholders.

Tapinator Launches BitPainting, a Crypto Collectibles Platform for the Global Art Market

Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi Returns to the Auction Market
Historic Blockchain Auction Begins at Noon EST Today

New York, NY – PRNewswire - May 31, 2018 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a leading developer and publisher of mobile games and applications on the iOS, Google Play, Amazon, and Ethereum platforms, today announces that it has released the Early Access version of BitPainting, a crypto-collectibles platform for the global art market.

Collectors interested in owning a piece of art history may sign up to participate in today’s historic auction via EarlyAccess.BitPainting.com using a Chrome or Firefox web browser. Today’s auction on the Ethereum Network will include 12 iconic artworks from renowned painters including Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvatore Mundi.

In 2011, the dramatic public unveiling of Salvator Mundi (‘Saviour of the World’), in the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan at The National Gallery in London, caused a worldwide media sensation. Painted by one of history’s greatest and most renowned artists, whose works are exceedingly rare — fewer than 20 paintings in existence are generally accepted as from the artist’s own hand — it was the first discovery of a painting by Leonardo da Vinci since 1909. “It was, without question the greatest artistic rediscovery of the 21st century - a painting of the most iconic figure in the world by the most important artist of all time,” according to auction house Christie’s where it sold in November 2017 for an astonishing $450.3 million. Six short months later, Salvatore Mundi could again shatter records as it returns to the auction block today as the lead lot in BitPainting’s inaugural auction of virtual iconic art on the blockchain.

“After significant development efforts by our team, we are very excited to announce the initial launch of BitPainting, a new digital platform for collecting iconic art on the blockchain,” said Ilya Nikolayev, CEO of Tapinator. “BitPainting allows art enthusiasts to collect and interact with rare virtual artwork on the Ethereum network. Art lovers can acquire iconic works, mint editions, sell, gift and explore famous works from world-renowned artists. BitPainting members can assemble unique collections and browse the artwork amassed by our community. Each artwork on BitPainting is a non-fungible (ERC-721) token, which is stored on the Ethereum blockchain. We have built specialized smART™ contracts which guarantee the

scarcity, ownership, and provenance of these works. These smART™ contracts allow BitPainting collectors to create limited editions of their artworks, enabling a form of limited, decentralized supply as well as profit opportunities.

We believe the $45 billion art market is ripe for disruption by blockchain technology. We see a future where crypto-collectibles drive art sales via digital scarcity and democratize the collection of physical, digital and virtual fine art. In fact, we have already witnessed significant early market adoption of crypto-collectibles. Recently, CryptoKitties’ virtual cat, Celestial Cyber Dimension, sold for $140,000 via LiveAuctioneers and Kevin Abosch’s Forever Rose sold for $1 million via GIFTO. We believe Tapinator is well positioned to become a leader in the crypto collectibles market through the BitPainting platform,” concluded Nikolayev.

Blockchain Emerging as a New Frontier for the Gaming Industry

New York, NY – January 9, 2018 – NetworkNewsWire.com News Coverage: The overall value of the global cryptocurrency market reached an all-time high of more than $700 billion on January 3, 2018 (http://nnw.fm/0rxFZ), a clear indicator of the increased interest in the adoption of digital currencies and their underlying blockchain technology. Blockchain is already being successfully implemented across various market sectors and is expected to revolutionize a significant number of industries over the next decade, including the financial, healthcare, real estate, legal and gaming industries. Mobile gaming in particular is a promising segment for blockchain adoption, with the fastest growing rate in the whole gaming industry and over $40 billion in revenues in 2017. Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) (TAPM Profile) has positioned itself to exploit these market trends and establish an early lead within the blockchain gaming industry through the recent creation of its subsidiary, Revolution Blockchain LLC. Other companies poised to capitalize on opportunities in the blockchain sector include Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT), Bitcoin Services, Inc. (OTC: BTSC) and Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA).

Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) develops and publishes mobile games on Google Play, iOS and Amazon platforms. To date, it has developed over 300 games, which have been downloaded over 450 million times by global gamers, and the company has stated its intentions to further increase its market share by concluding strategic mergers and acquisitions.

Tapinator kicked off 2018 with news it will form a new subsidiary, Revolution Blockchain LLC, to develop and publish distributed apps and games leveraging blockchain technology (http://nnw.fm/Us6W7). Currently under development, Revolution Blockchain’s first product will leverage blockchain technology for payment and asset storage via fungible tokens residing on the blockchain. This product is scheduled to be launched during the second quarter of 2018. The Company has announced a seed investment in the new subsidiary by an individual accredited investor, resulting in the issuance of membership interests that are convertible into Tapinator’s common stock at $0.25 per share.

"We believe that we're at the dawn of a new revolution where the applicability of blockchain technology will expand from currency trading to industry-changing applications and games," Tapinator CEO Ilya Nikolayev stated in the press release about the new subsidiary.

"The formation of our Revolution Blockchain subsidiary allows us to plant a hard stake in the ground and make a long-term commitment to the distributed app market. Our management team has been in the application development and publishing space for over ten years now and successfully made the transition from social/desktop to mobile ecosystems. Similarly, we now believe Tapinator is extremely well positioned and qualified to create early leadership within the decentralized apps

market."

Decentralized apps (DApps) run on a P2P computer network instead of operating through a single, centralized computer or server. DApps eliminate the issues with having a single point of failure and are therefore more stable than apps running on centralized systems. They are also more flexible in terms of diversity and have much more scalability potential. For decentralized applications to be integrated in the blockchain, they must be completely open-source, they need to enable data and records to be cryptographically stored, and also to enable the use and generation of cryptographic tokens. Ethereum is currently the leading platform for DApps, allowing developers to choose rules for transaction formats and asset ownership. In the gaming industry at the moment, dedicated players who build up large in-game assets have no ownership over them and may also have issues ensuring asset security. These issues will be solved by blockchain-based gaming apps.

Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) has developed and published a number of established products, including a selection of best-in-class “Full-Featured Games.” These include ROCKY™ and Solitaire Dash, which offer unique and in-depth content that enables long-term player retention. Recently, Tapinator launched three other Full-Featured titles: Big Sport Fishing 2017, Dice Mage 2, and ColorFill. Other new titles scheduled for release in early 2018 include Fusion Heroes and Divide and Conquer. The Company predicts the lifespan of its Full-Featured Games to be over five years, and is attempting to build franchisee-type games that could achieve lifetime revenues of over $100 million.

Tapinator’s revenue model is a blend of app store purchases combined with in-game advertising. 54 percent of its revenue is derived from advertising and 46 percent is derived from app store transactions. The company restricts advertising to placements between game levels and runs rewarded video ad units that are tied directly into each game’s currency. Tapinator’s broader business model also focuses on capitalizing on the significant opportunities for expanding its gaming IP to new platforms such as Ethereum.

As Tapinator continues to grow its product portfolio and modify its offerings to meet the demands of the modern gamer, the company joins several other sector players taking advantage of blockchain technology for a variety of applications.

Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCQX: GBTC) is a U.S.-based open-ended grantor trust, sponsored by Grayscale Investments, that invests exclusively in bitcoin – the underlying use of which is blockchain. Bitcoin Investment Trust is the first publicly quoted bitcoin investment enterprise, with its shares the first publicly quoted securities to be solely invested in and deriving value from the price of bitcoin. The company relieves investors of the challenges of buying, storing and securing bitcoin, which are taken care of through its traditional investment vehicle. This ensures shares are titled in the investors’ name and provides a structure for financial and tax advisers, while enabling easy transfer to beneficiaries under estate laws. Bitcoin Investment Trust has earned the distinction of being named one of OTC Market Group’s “OTCQX Best 50” for 2017.

Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT) identifies unique projects in decentralized markets to invest in blockchain technology, focusing primarily on bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. Its portfolio of investments includes Verady, a company providing cryptocurrency accounting and audit technology services using VeraNet. VeraNet enables individuals and companies to audit, account and report on blockchain assets, and provides a bridge between cryptocurrencies and traditional financial accounting. Tesspay is another Riot Blockchain company that is developing a blockchain-based escrow service for wholesale telecom carriers. A third company within the Riot Blockchain stable is Coinsquare, a leading Canadian digital currency exchange providing a user-friendly, secure and cost-efficient method of purchasing digital assets.

Bitcoin Services (OTC: BTSC) focuses primarily on mining bitcoin, but also develops and sells blockchain software. The company recently established a new subsidiary, CryptoCapital Corp., a cryptocurrency holding enterprise that acts as a catalyst for cryptocurrency adoption and innovation. This subsidiary developed a cryptocurrency wallet that enables consumers to securely store multiple digital currencies within the same wallet. Bitcoin Services started mining its own cryptocurrency, called Dash, in the first quarter of 2017.

On November 2, 2017, Marathon Patent Group (NASDAQ: MARA) announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire full ownership of Global Bit Ventures Inc., a digital asset company using blockchain technology to mine cryptocurrencies. Marathon is an Intellectual Property (IP) licensing and commercialization company that acquires and manages IP rights for a diverse range of entities, including universities, large corporations and small companies. The company’s lifecycle of commercialization covers the discovery of opportunities and performing due diligence, protecting IP, providing capital, managing development, assisting with business plan execution and maximizing shareholder value.

A bright future is predicted for blockchain technology, with its application expected to extend from purely financial transactions to facilitating business transactions in multiple industries. Companies in the blockchain industry are poised to significantly expand operations and increase shareholder value by capitalizing on the future growth of the market.

Tapinator Introduces New Subsidiary Focused on Decentralized Blockchain Apps

New York, NY – PRNewswire - January 3, 2018 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a leading developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms, today announces the formation of a new subsidiary, Revolution Blockchain, LLC, to develop and publish distributed apps and games that leverage blockchain technology.

Revolution Blockchain’s first product is currently under development and scheduled to launch in the second quarter of this year. This product will leverage blockchain technology for both payment (i.e. the purchase & sale of virtual assets) and the storage of these assets via non-fungible tokens that live on the blockchain. The new subsidiary has also completed an initial private placement for $100,000 with an individual accredited investor resulting in the issuance of membership interests that are convertible into Tapinator’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share.

“We believe that we’re at the dawn of a new revolution where the applicability of blockchain technology will expand from currency trading to industry-changing applications and games,” commented Ilya Nikolayev, CEO of Tapinator. “The formation of our Revolution Blockchain subsidiary allows us to plant a hard stake in the ground and make a long-term commitment to the distributed app market. Our management team has been in the application development and publishing space for over ten years now and successfully made the transition from social/desktop to mobile ecosystems. Similarly, we

now believe Tapinator is extremely well positioned and qualified to create early leadership within the decentralized apps market.”

Decentralized apps (or DApps) are applications which run on a P2P network of computers instead of on one single computer or server; eliminating the issues involved with having a central point of failure. They are considered to be a form of software program designed to function on the Internet without being controlled by a single entity. DApps can have front-end code and user interfaces written in any language, just like a traditional application, which can make calls to its backend.

“We are very enthused about the crypto gaming products we have in development,” Nikolayev added. “As we get closer to the Q2 launch date, more details will be released.”

The Ethereum Platform is currently the leading blockchain platform for DApps and allows developers to write smart contracts and decentralized applications where the developer chooses its own rules for ownership, transaction formats and transitions functions. Multiple types of DApps are now being created across multiple categories, including finance, governance, community, legal, health, education and gaming.

Specifically, as it relates to Tapinator’s core business of gaming, players can currently invest thousands of hours in games to build up powerful or unique in-game assets, and yet they have no ownership over them. Given recent industry concerns over loot crates and skins gambling, the ownership and control of in-game items has become a real issue for the $100+ billion games industry. Blockchain-based gaming apps provide an increasingly real solution to these issues.
According to CoinMarketCap, the aggregate market value of cryptocurrencies increased from $17.7 billion to over $600 billion in 2017, which clearly indicates the rising interest in adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

About Tapinator
Tapinator develops and publishes mobile games and DApps on the iOS, Google Play, Amazon, and Etherium platforms. Tapinator’s portfolio includes over 300 mobile gaming titles that, collectively, have achieved over 450 million player downloads, including games such as ROCKY™, Video Poker Classic, Solitaire Dash, and Dice Mage. Tapinator generates revenues through the sale of branded advertisements and via consumer app store transactions. Founded in 2013, Tapinator is headquartered in New York, with product development teams located in the United States, Germany, Pakistan, Indonesia, Russia and Canada. Consumers can find high-quality mobile entertainment wherever they see the ‘T’ character logo, or at http://www.Tapinator.com.

Forward-Looking Statements
To the extent that statements contained in this press release are not descriptions of historical facts regarding Tapinator, they are forward-looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believe,” "may," "will" "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this release involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the next stage of our development, the deleveraging and strengthening of our balance sheet and the execution of our organic growth strategy to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, whether Revolution Blockchain will be successful in launching its first product by the second quarter of 2018, if at all, and whether such product will be well received in the marketplace, our belief that we are at the dawn of a revolution where the applicability of blockchain technology will expand from currency trading to industry-changing applications and games and our belief that we are well positioned to become a leader within the decentralized apps market. Tapinator undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The quoting and trading of the Company's common stock on the OTC Market Group's OTC Link quotation system is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the Company's operations or business prospects. As a result, there may be volatility in the market price of the shares of the Company's common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Market Group's OTC Link quotation system is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on it is often more sporadic than trading of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock market or another securities exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company, see Tapinator's Risk Factors which are available within the disclaimers section of Tapinator.com.

Mobile Gaming Acquisitions on Pace to Boom in 2018

New York, NY – December 6, 2017 – NetworkNewsWire.com News Coverage: A recently released report projects that revenue from the global mobile games market will reach $40.6 billion in 2017, which is an increase of more than $10 billion from 2015 (http://nnw.fm/d8LBZ). Mobile gaming is unarguably the hottest, fastest-growing sector within the gaming market, and traditional gaming companies are jumping in with big M&A action, buying up smaller creative players in order to develop expertise and market share in the mobile games arena. Looking forward to 2018 and beyond, continued mobile games acquisition fervor could benefit up-and-coming companies like Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), as giants in the space like Tencent Holdings Limited (OTC: TCEHY), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), Zynga Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA) and others continue their significant M&A activity within the mobile games space.

Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) is a developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms with many assets and advantages in place to attract the M&A interest of bigger companies. Tapinator’s portfolio encompasses more than 300 mobile gaming titles that have, collectively, amassed more than 450 million player downloads. As of Q3 2017, Tapinator’s expansive number of engaged users equated to 11.7 million monthly active players. Additionally, the company possesses three very strong franchise games (“Video Poker Classic,” “Dice Mage” and “Solitaire Dash”), and it has an exciting pipeline of Full-Featured Games scheduled to launch now through Q2 of 2018. It's also notable that TAPM’s Full-Featured Games bookings increased by 255 percent for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2017.

Furthermore, Tapinator recently announced (http://nnw.fm/krl2P) that “Virtual Mom: Happy Family 3D,” one of the recent games released through its Rapid-Launch Games division—collaboratively developed and published with TapSim Game Studio—has become one of Google Play’s Top 100 games in the United States. This game enables players to simulate some of the endless tasks associated with motherhood. As of Nov. 28, “Virtual Mom” had logged more than 600,000 downloads since its Nov. 8 launch and had locked in the No. 5 slot for the “Adventure Games” category within the Google Play U.S. Games Charts. “Virtual Mom” has further experienced impressive performance on an international level, becoming the No. 34 top game in Brazil, the No. 102 top game in China and the No. 97 top game in Russia.

"The global success of ‘Virtual Mom: Happy Family’ is a great indication of the universal nature of motherhood. It represents a fun, entertaining way for both moms and non-moms alike to get a small virtual taste of the incredible hard work performed by mothers around the globe on a daily basis,” Tapinator CEO Ilya Nikolayev said, as quoted in the press

release. “The game's rise is also a testament to the importance of 'Girl Gamers' as an audience within the mobile gaming ecosystem. Given the title's initial success, we intend to continue to improve the game, release additional content and potentially expand upon our 'Happy Family' game series.”

Another recent announcement (http://nnw.fm/kuhL5) details Tapinator’s recent partnership with the Germany-based Robot Cake Games, through which TAPM has acquired the rights to publish “ColorFill,” a unique puzzle game designed to attract the fans of games like Sudoku and Minesweeper. Through this partnership, Tapinator has received the publication rights for additional future Robot Cake games, as well, for a period of at least one year. “ColorFill,” the first to be released under the Tapinator banner through this partnership, has been soft launched in Canada and Australia and is slated for worldwide release on Dec. 7.

Additional Tapinator titles hitting the scene during Q1 and Q2 2018 include “Divide & Conquer” and “Fusion Heroes. The company also recently released two new full-featured games: “Big Sport Fishing 2017” and “Dice Mage 2.” with “Big Sport Fishing 2017” amassing more than 520,000 player downloads within the first week of its global release and with “Big Sport Fishing” and “Dice Mage 2” both being singled out as “New Games We Love” on the Apple iOS platform (http://nnw.fm/Xy3V5).

Tapinator has been lauded as “One to Watch” in the mobile games market, receiving considerable attention with its hundreds of thousands of daily downloads on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms. The company’s business strategy involves creating segment-leading full-featured games, like “ROCKY™” and “Solitaire Dash,” that result in long-term player retention and that produce attractive ROIs.

The company continues generating enticing and predictable returns through consumer app store transactions and the sale of branded advertisements, with its diversified revenue resources including 51 percent from in-game advertising and 49 percent from consumer purchases made through app stores. Advertisements placed within Tapinator’s games are strategically limited to only appear between game levels, which aids in fostering player retention. Game participants are further induced to participate in viewing video ads on a rewards basis.
Through its Full-Featured games model, Tapinator is creating sustainable, franchise-like games that each have the potential to bring in $100 million or more in revenues and which boast product lifespans of at least five years. TAPM employs a set of proprietary dynamic development and marketing processes factored on gaming category, approximated player retention and predicted player profitability.

Headquartered in New York, Tapinator has product development teams in the U.S., Germany, Pakistan, Indonesia, Russia and Canada. Among its current endeavors, the company is actively exploring virtual reality and augmented reality opportunities and has exploratorily released various prototype virtual reality games to gather data before pursuing a more significant product in this category. Tapinator additionally intends to pursue publishing transactions that leverage its network, platform relationships and operational expertise, and management is delving into significant opportunities to expand the company’s gaming IP to new platforms like Steam and to leading messaging apps.

All of these attributes, achievements and pursuits make Tapinator an attractive potential M&A target for larger players seeking a piece of the mobile gaming pie—and such companies have been in plentiful supply.

Companies like Tencent Holdings Limited (OTC: TCEHY) have made significant acquisitions in the mobile games space in recent years, such as the much-publicized 2016 majority stake acquisition of SuperCell to the tune of $8.6 billion. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is certainly no stranger to big acquisitions, and near the end of 2014 the tech giant finalized its acquisition of Mojang, the creator of “Minecraft,” for $2.5 billion. In February 2017, Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) made its move into the mobile gaming space with a $275.9 million acquisition of Social Point, while even more recently—in early November 2017—gaming giant Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire the mobile card game studio belonging to Peak Games for $100 million.

These are just a few examples of big players sitting up, taking notice and taking action to cash in on the red-hot mobile games market. As 2018 draws nearer and mobile games continue to ever more firmly establish a stronghold as the fastest-growing sector within the gaming space, continued acquisition action could spell good news for micro-cap companies like Tapinator.

New York, NY – PRNewswire - November 30, 2017 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a leading developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms, today announces its Full-Featured Games pipeline through Q2 2018.

New York, NY – November 7, 2017 – NetworkNewsWire.com News Coverage: The video games market is a unique one in that the success of individual companies is primarily driven by the release of hit games, leading to significant ebb and flow as new games are either embraced or panned by players. For this reason, many have long considered mobile gaming companies to be poor candidates for venture capital funding. However, there are always exceptions, and various mobile gaming stocks have proven their strength and longevity in the marketplace. Players like Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB:TAPM), Nintendo Co., Ltd. (OTC: NTDOY), Zynga, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA), Glu Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU) and Electronic Arts, Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) have shown their staying power and are among standout public companies gaining market share within the videogame industry. Each of these entities is currently gearing up to once again raise investor interest with highly anticipated new game releases coming down the pipe.

In the mobile games industry, it is quality rather than quantity that drives the potential of profitability, as evidenced by the huge success of entities like Finnish game developer Supercell. Tencent Holdings (OTC: TCEHY) purchased an 84-percent stake in Supercell in 2016 for $8.6 billion. At that time, the transaction valued Supercell at a whopping $10.2 billion (http://nnw.fm/t2Bal). Incredibly, Supercell only has four games in the marketplace. Nevertheless, it is a giant in the mobile gaming industry due to the success of those titles, which have produced a lifetime average of $1.15 billion in revenue solely on the iOS platform, as reported by VentureBeat (http://nnw.fm/lNO37).

Other companies are similarly striving to find success with well-designed, user-hooking mobile games that cater the modern gamer. For Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB:TAPM), the upcoming releases of “ColorFill,” a unique puzzle game which is set to launch in December 2017, and other new titles are set to arouse interest among both gamers and investors.

Tapinator is a leading developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms, engaging millions of players worldwide with its portfolio of more than 300 mobile games. Again, quantity doesn’t always equate to success, but it’s important to note that Tapinator’s games have collectively amassed more than 400 million player downloads and counting.

Most recently the company announced (http://nnw.fm/kuhL5) its partnership with Hanover, Germany-based development studio Robot Cake Games. Through this partnership, Tapinator has acquired the rights to publish “ColorFill,” a distinctive puzzle game aimed at attracting fans of games like Minesweeper, Sudoku and other popular puzzle titles.

The partnership also gives Tapinator the right to publish future Robot Cake titles for a period of at least one year, with “ColorFill” being among the first to roll-out under the Tapinator banner. “ColorFill” is currently being soft launched in Canada and Australia, and the game is slated to hit the global landscape on December 7, 2017, just in time for the holiday shopping season.

"We have known the team at Robot Cake for several years and have been highly impressed with their hard work, creativity and the quality of their products. We are excited to announce the beginning of a long-term partnership that we believe will result in future successful, top grossing game launches,” Tapinator CEO Ilya Nikolayev said in announcing the partnership with Robot Cakes. “We at Tapinator are fans of ‘ColorFill's’ innovative gameplay and are excited to partner with Robot Cake to bring this unique title to millions of app store players. ‘ColorFill’ is our first release with Robot Cake and we expect that it will be the first of many. We look forward to providing updates on other scheduled releases from this partnership in early 2018.”

Other new Tapinator titles coming up during Q4 2017 and Q1 2018 include “Divide & Conquer” and “Fusion Heroes.” The company also recently released two new Full-Featured Games, “Big Sport Fishing 2017” and “Dice Mage 2.” “Big Sport Fishing 2017” scored over 520,000 player downloads within the first week of its worldwide release, and both it and “Dice Mage 2” were distinguished as “New Games We Love” on the Apple iOS platform (http://nnw.fm/Xy3V5).

Tapinator has been hailed as “One to Watch” (http://nnw.fm/Hv38g) within the mobile gaming market, garnering considerable notice with hundreds of thousands of daily downloads on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms. Through consumer app store transactions and the sale of branded advertisements, the company continues generating attractive and predictable returns.

Tapinator’s business strategy includes the creation of best-in-segment Full-Featured Games that garner long-term player retention and produce higher ROIs—games like “ROCKYTM” and “Solitaire Dash.” Employing this Full-Featured Games model, the company is able to create sustainable, franchise-esque games with the potential of bringing in $100 million+ each and boasting product life spans of five years or greater. Tapinator uses a set of proprietary dynamic development and marketing processes that are factored on gaming category, estimated player retention and projected player profitability.

The company’s diversified revenue resources include 54 percent that comes from in-game advertising and 46 percent that stems from consumer purchases made via app stores. Within the company’s games, advertising placement is strategically limited to appear only between game levels, which helps bolster player retention, and players are further enticed to participate in watching video ads on a rewards basis.

Additionally, Tapinator is actively exploring opportunities in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) and has released several prototype virtual reality games on an exploratory level in order to gather data before pursuing a more significant product in this area. The company further plans to pursue additional publishing opportunities that leverage its large player network, platform relationships and operational expertise.

Another highly anticipated mobile games release on the radar, and one likely to generate notable investor buzz, is coming soon from Nintendo (OTC: NTDOY). An undeniable pioneer in the video game world, Nintendo recently made its most significant move yet in mobile gaming with the announcement of plans to add “Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp” as its third title for smartphones. The game is scheduled to launch in late November and is anticipated to be a long-term cash generator for Nintendo. It will be available as a free download for both iOS and Android and will feature in-game purchases.

Nintendo’s stock has climbed 80 percent during 2017, and Goldman Sachs has estimated that an “Animal Crossing” mobile title could bring in twice as much revenue as Nintendo’s two previous smartphone games combined. The company has announced its intention to launch between two and three smartphone games per year going forward.

Meanwhile, mainstay mobile games player Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) has commenced a soft launch of a sequel to its hugely popular game “Words With Friends.” “Words With Friends 2” features various updates, including new game modes and 50,000 new words added to the game dictionary. During 2017, Zynga’s stock price per share has risen from $2.69 in early January to $3.88 on November 2, reflecting, at least in part, the interest generated by this release. When “Words With Friends 2” launches worldwide, investor attention will likely increase.

For Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU), it is hoped that the upcoming release of “The Swift Life” – scheduled for release in late 2017, according to company information, without a hard-and-fast specified launch date - will generate significant buzz and investor interest. More a social environment and digital entertainment platform for Taylor Swift fans than an outright game, “The Swift Life” chiefly lets fans of the Grammy winner connect and interact with each other as well as with the star herself through message boards, quizzes and other such features. The project marks a departure from the format of Glu Mobile’s prior celebrity-focused games and will actually be the company’s first pop culture celebrity app to be unveiled in 2017, as some of its previous celeb-game efforts didn’t fare so well. Because of Taylor Swift’s astronomical fan following and the app’s format of being a social network rather than a game, those in the know believe it has a very good chance of being a successful and profitable app for Glu Mobile.

Another hugely popular full-featured game that is currently in soft launch is “The Sims Mobile” from Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA). This mobile version of the popular life simulation game could well prove to be—and likely will be—as enormously successful as its full-featured counterpart. Electronic Arts’ stock price has been steadily climbing for several years and has continued that trend in earnest during 2017, rising from $80.784 on January 1 to $115.21 on November 1. The release of the wildly popular “Sims” in mobile version can only serve to bolster that growth.

The launches of these highly anticipated mobile games are likely to kindle significant interest among investors, proving once again that mobile gaming stocks belong in the publicly traded arena. When it comes to savvy and successful game launches, mobile gaming companies like Tapinator demonstrate that they are certainly not playing around

Tapinator Announces Publishing Partnership with Robot Cake Games

Acquires the right to publish unique puzzle game, ColorFill, launching December 2017

New York, NY – PRNewswire - November 2, 2017 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a leading developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms, today announces that it has entered into a partnership with game developer Robot Cake Games. Robot Cake is a development studio based in Hanover, Germany, and is the creator of high-quality, best-in-class mobile titles.

As part of Tapinator's partnership with Robot Cake, Tapinator has acquired the right to publish future Robot Cake titles for a period of at least 12 months. The first game that Tapinator will publish under this agreement is ColorFill, a unique puzzle game designed to become a new favorite for fans of Minesweeper, Sudoku, and other classic puzzle titles. ColorFill is currently in soft launch in Canada and Australia, and will launch globally on December 7, 2017, in time for the holiday shopping season.

These 5 Mobile Gaming Stocks Aren’t Playing Around

New York, NY – October 17, 2017 – NetworkNewsWire.com News Coverage: Everywhere you go these days, heads are bent over smartphones and tablets—shopping, checking Facebook, scanning news headlines, watching movies, accessing banking information, checking emails and, of course, gaming. Though it was once a wide-spread belief that a mobile gaming enterprise could not survive as a publicly traded company, the tide has turned. Several leading brands in the industry are proving they can not only survive, but can thrive as publicly traded entities in the global gaming market. As public mobile gaming stocks continue gaining market share within the videogame industry, companies like Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM) (Tapinator Profile), Zynga, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA), Electronic Arts, Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), Glu Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU) and Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) are showing they mean business in this stalwart, promising market.

In the past, debates have abounded over whether venture capital funding was the right thing for mobile gaming companies because, essentially, having hit games was the determining factor in whether or not they would find success. While that is still fundamentally true, mobile gaming companies have figured a few things out to greatly bolster their profitability—like how to cash in on in-game advertising, how to sustainably acquire users, how to employ user-friendly monetization methods, and how to successfully and effectively integrate brands into their games.

Investors are certainly feeling friendlier toward mobile games companies, and the market outlook is rosy. An annual report released by Juniper Research in February 2017 predicted the overall videogame market (including both mobile and PC games) would grow to $132 billion in revenues by 2021. A Global Games Market Report released by Newzoo in April 2017 projected global game revenues would reach $108.9 billion during 2017—an increase of 7.8 percent from 2016. Within the global gaming market, mobile gaming has proven to be the most profitable segment, grabbing 42 percent of the market share. By 2020, the same Newzoo report predicts, mobile gaming will amount to more than half of the total games market worldwide.

For companies like Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), it’s all good news.

Engaging millions of players with its diversified portfolio of over 300 mobile games, Tapinator is generating alluring and predictable returns through the sale of branded advertisements and consumer app store transactions. Hundreds of thousands of daily downloads on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms have made Tapinator “One to Watch” in the mobile gaming market.

The business strategy employed by Tapinator includes creating segment-leading full-featured games, like “ROCKY™” and “Solitaire Dash,” that give gamers unique, in-depth content as well as fostering long-term player retention and producing higher ROIs. This full-featured games model makes it possible for Tapinator to create potentially $100 million+ franchise-type games that are sustainable and have product lifespans of five years or more. The company utilizes a set of proprietary dynamic development and marketing processes that are factored on gaming category, estimated player retention, and

projected player profitability. In a press release earlier this month, the company said it expects Full-Featured Games Bookings to increase by more than 200% in 2017 as compared to 2016 (http://nnw.fm/LW8yt).

Tapinator recently launched two new full-featured games: “Big Sport Fishing 2017” - which had more than 520,000 player downloads within the first seven days of its global release - and “Dice Mage 2.” Both were recognized as “New Games We Love” on the Apple iOS platform, as noted in a recent press release announcing updates to Dice Mage 2 (http://nnw.fm/Xy3V5).

Additionally, Tapinator’s Rapid-Launch Games division recently experienced a spike in player interest with the launch of “Fidget Spinner Superhero” and “Scary Shark Evolution 3D.”

Coming up during Q4 2017 and Q1 2018, Tapinator is scheduled to release four new titles: “ColorFill,” “Divide & Conquer,” “Shadowborne” and “Fusion Heroes.” The formula behind these games consists of a combination of proven gameplay elements; class-leading monetization systems; and the creative magic of the robust team of developers, strategists and product specialists that is Tapinator’s backbone.

Diversified revenue sources for Tapinator include 54 percent derived from in-game advertising and 46 percent from consumer purchases made through app stores. Advertising placement is strategically limited to appear between game levels, and video ads additionally play on a rewards basis that is directly tied to game currency.

The company is currently exploring promising opportunities in virtual reality and augmented reality and has exploratorily released several prototype virtual reality games to gather data before pursuing a more significant product in this category. Tapinator further intends to pursue publishing transactions leveraging its network, platform relationships and operational prowess and is additionally exploring notable gaming IP expansion opportunities to new platforms like Steam and to leading messaging apps.

While Tapinator may yet be an unknown name to some (though that isn’t likely to remain true for long), both gamers and non-gamers alike easily recognize the name of Zynga, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA), the developer behind such hugely popular games as “FarmVille” and “Words with Friends.” It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Zynga, but the stock price for this social games leader has been on the rise, going from less than $3 to more than $4 over the course of the past year. Part of this success may be attributed to the company appointing Frank Gibeau, former executive at Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), as its new CEO in March 2016. Various other former EA execs were then brought aboard by Gibeau, and attention was turned to live operations and increasing the revenues of Zynga’s existing properties instead of gambling on expensive new launches.

Meanwhile, EA’s stock price has been on an incredible upward climb for several years now, steadily soaring from less than $15 at the commencement of 2013 to breaking the $120 mark this year. The company’s portfolio includes such chartbusting gaming brands as “The Sims,” “Madden NFL,” “EA SPORTS FIFA,” “Battlefield,” “Dragon Age” and “Plants vs. Zombies.”

Like Zynga, Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU) has had ups and downs, but it, too, seems to be making a steady recovery, having dropped below $2 at one point this year but then climbed above $4 and, to date, stayed there. Glu Mobile’s focus is on creating original IP games, with a portfolio that includes “Contract Killer,” “Cooking Dash,” “Deer Hunter,” “Diner Dash,” “Dino Hunter: Deadly Shores,” “Eternity Warriors,” “Frontline Commando” and more. The company additionally offers branded IP games that include “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” “Sniper X with Jason Statham,” “Gordon Ramsey Dash” and “Britney Spears: American Dream.”

Another interactive games player that has enjoyed a steady upward climb in recent years is Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), the creator of such blockbuster franchises as “Call of Duty,” “Skylanders” and “Destiny.” Activision Blizzard’s stock price was below $11 at the commencement of 2013; this year, the company’s stock has broken $66.

The global gaming industry is certainly going strong, with mobile gaming taking an increasingly large bite of the market share with every passing year. The outlook is good and the future is bright in this thriving industry, and the aggressive, innovative companies are proving they have staying power as publicly traded entities.

Tapinator Announces Major Update of Hit Game Dice Mage 2

Updated version of top-grossing Dice Mage 2 will launch November 2 on iOS and Google Play

New York, NY – PRNewswire - October 12, 2017 - Tapinator, Inc. (OTCQB: TAPM), a developer and publisher of mobile games on the iOS, Google Play and Amazon platforms, today announces that it will launch an extensive update to its hit game, Dice Mage 2, on November 2, 2017, available on both Apple’s iOS platform and Google’s Play platform. In order to bring this unique, best-in-class role playing game (RPG) to mobile players worldwide, Tapinator has once again joined forces with developer Boarding Party Games of Vancouver, Canada.

Following its initial launch on iOS in August, Dice Mage 2 was featured by Apple as a “New Game We Love,” and was awarded a prized top banner placement in 147 countries, including the United States. To-date, Dice Mage 2 has demonstrated the following metrics:

• Nearly 600,000 player downloads
• On iOS, reached #52 Top Grossing for Adventure Games in the United States
• On iOS, reached #82 Top Grossing for Role Playing Games in the United States
• Generated over $135,000 in gross bookings during the first 30 days after global launch

The update will create additional feature opportunities for Dice Mage 2 on both major app platforms and will improve engagement and monetization within the game. The update introduces a crafting system to the title, enabling players to sell their unused items in exchange for magical dust. By combining this magical dust with gems, players can boost the stats on their favorite items. With even deeper metagame, players will now clear out their unused items while customizing their favorite equipment.

“We achieved a successful initial launch with Dice Mage 2 and we look forward to the release of this first major update. We believe that, given the player response seen by the game thus far, Apple and Google will consider the game for significant editorial opportunities, thereby accelerating growth. Overall, Dice Mage 2 is a rare type of game that has longevity in terms of gameplay that can spawn sequels and spinoffs. We look forward to capitalizing on these opportunities in the future,” says Tapinator CEO Ilya Nikolayev.

The Dice Mage 2 update is one of several planned releases for Tapinator’s Full-Featured Games division this year. Other releases will be announced in the coming weeks, including a unique puzzle game, ColorFill, which will launch globally in December, prior to the holiday season.

Forward-Looking Statements
To the extent that statements contained in this press release are not descriptions of historical facts regarding Tapinator, they are forward-looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believe,” "may," "will" "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our statements regarding our financial outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year 2017 and the full fiscal year 2018 contained in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this release involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the next stage of our development, the deleveraging and strengthening of our balance sheet and the execution of our organic growth strategy to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, our belief that our overall growth will continue and our expectation that Full-Featured Games bookings will increase by more than 200% in 2017 as compared to 2016. Tapinator undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The quoting and trading of the company's common stock on the OTC Market Group's OTC Link quotation system is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the company's operations or business prospects. As a result, there may be volatility in the market price of the shares of the company's common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Market Group's OTC Link quotation system is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on it is often more sporadic than trading of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock market or another securities exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the company, see Tapinator's Risk Factors which are available within the disclaimers section of Tapinator.com.

Ilya Nikolayev, CEO of Tapinator commented “2017 represents a pivotal year for the Company. As we communicated earlier this year, we have shifted our focus from Rapid-Launch Games to the more lucrative Full-Featured Games opportunity. While this shift has resulted in, what we believe to be, only a temporary pause in our overall growth, our strategy has already generated results in that we expect Full-Featured Games Bookings to increase by more than 200% in 2017 as compared to 2016. Looking forward, we are very excited about our Full-Featured Games pipeline as we have a robust portfolio of new games and existing game updates slated to launch in Q4 2017 and Q1 2018. In the coming weeks, we will provide a detailed summary of our current Full-Featured Games pipeline and release schedule.”

We expect to release our complete GAAP earnings results for Q3, 2017 on November 15, 2017. Such results will include a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results and other key operating and game related metrics.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release the non-GAAP financial measures of Bookings and adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to the measures of Revenue and Operating Income, which are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses Bookings and adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The presentation of Bookings and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to Bookings and adjusted EBITDA in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe Bookings and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics we use in making operating decisions and because our investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of our business. We have provided reconciliations between our historical and projected Bookings and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP

Bookings does not reflect that we defer and recognize online game revenue over the estimated life of durable virtual goods;
Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of stock-based expense, impairment of intangible assets previously acquired, acquisition-related transaction expenses, contingent consideration fair value adjustments and restructuring expense;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense;
Adjusted EBITDA does not include other income or expense, which includes foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income or expense;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of intangible assets. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; and
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which will reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Bookings and adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including Revenue, Net Income (Loss), Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share, Cash Flow from Operations, Operating Income (Loss) and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
