Strategic Initiatives
Tiny’s presentation outlined several strategic initiatives that contributed to its 2024 performance. These included a leadership transition, completion of a US$15.0 million private placement, and strategic acquisitions of Wholesale Pet (January 2024), Repeat Inc (February 2024), and MediaNet (June 2024).
The company also divested non-core assets including 8020 Design Ltd. and Frosty Studio Ltd., while implementing a $4.0 million cost rationalization initiative that began showing results in Q3 2024.
Tiny received approximately $2.2 million in distributions from Tiny Fund I during the fiscal year, adding to its cash flow improvement.
Forward-Looking Statements
Looking ahead, Tiny presented a clear roadmap for continued EBITDA growth, focusing on organic growth, further cost rationalization, additional distributions from Tiny Fund I, and strategic acquisitions.
The company specifically mentioned the pending acquisition of Serato Audio Research Ltd. and indicated it would continue evaluating attractive "tuck-in" and platform opportunities while maintaining disciplined acquisition criteria.
Management expressed confidence that the improvements in Adjusted EBITDA seen in Q4 2024 would continue into fiscal year 2025, supported by ongoing cost rationalization initiatives and organic revenue growth, particularly in the higher-margin Software and Apps segment that has been driving the increase in recurring revenue.
Tiny’s strategy appears focused on continuing to improve its debt metrics while selectively pursuing growth opportunities that enhance its recurring revenue profile and overall profitability.
