Borse Frankfurt: UCD2
NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Voyager Digital
Ltd. ("Voyager" or the "Company") (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA:
UCD2) one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency
platforms in the United States,
today announced revenue and user metrics for the Fiscal 2022 First
Quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"As we exit September and reflect on the growth of our platform,
we're glad to report that our Company is stronger than ever," said
Steve Ehrlich, CEO and Co-founder of
Voyager. "Although the global crypto industry saw reduced
volumes in the September quarter, our strategic decision to invest
in customer acquisition and retention during that period has paid
off as it resulted in a significant increase in downloads and a
rise in the app rankings. That coupled with the volume uptick in
the first half of the December quarter has Voyager well-positioned
to exceed our June quarter record revenues in this quarter. If we
look at our results on a calendar basis, we expect to exceed
revenue of $360 million for the
calendar year. We saw the September quarter as just a speed bump
for the industry, experienced by other platforms as well, and
Voyager has fared better than others on a comparative basis."
"The dedication to our marketing efforts in the quarter is
paying off as Voyager has seen increased accounts and volume growth
in October and November. We will continue to invest in customer
acquisition, engagement and retention, led by our industry leading
loyalty program," continued Ehrlich.
The Company is pleased to announce the following Fiscal 2022
First Quarter ended September 30,
2021 Financial and Operational Key Metrics:
- Revenue for the quarter is $65.6
million for the historical business plus the $15.9 million from the Coinify business, totaling
$81.5 million. The $65.6 million in revenue is up over 3,280%
compared to $2 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2020
- Operating Loss of $28.3 million
for the quarter was incurred for strategic longer-term benefit,
which has paid off and been reversed in the current quarter. Losses
incurred were primarily due to investing in the loyalty and rewards
program to continue user growth
- Total verified users on the platform stand at more than 2.15
million, up 23% from 1.75 million at fiscal year fiscal year ended
June 30, 2021
- Total funded accounts exceed 860,000, up 29% from 665,000 at
fiscal year ended June 30, 2021
- Total Assets Under Management grew to $4.3 billion from $2.6
billion at June 30, 2021 with
Assets Under Management at present of just under $7 billion
- Improved our system architecture, focusing on scalability and
security to handle rapid growth
- Increased our headcount to 231 as of September 30, 2021, from 141 at June 30, 2021, which includes the headcount added
through the Coinify acquisition
- Acquired Coinify, a leading crypto payments processor and
provider
All figures are preliminary and unaudited and subject to
final adjustment. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise
indicated.
"Although we continue to grow our funded accounts, Voyager's
transactional volume is contingent on market volume. Voyager plans
to continue to diversify its revenues by adding additional coins
that generate staking rewards as well as adding to our revenue
streams through products such as NFTs and crypto based debit
cards," Ehrlich added.

Certain information in this
press release, including, but not limited to, statements regarding
future growth and performance of the business, momentum in the

(collectively, forward-looking statements), which can be identified
by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect,"
"anticipate," "project," "estimate," "intend," "continue" or
"believe" (or the negatives) or other similar variations.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause Voyager's actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any of its future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Moreover, we
operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New
risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our
management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of
all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements
we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this press
release may not occur and actual results could differ materially
and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are subject
to the risk that the global economy, industry, or the Company's
businesses and investments do not perform as anticipated, that
revenue or expenses estimates may not be met or may be materially
less or more than those anticipated, that trading momentum does not
continue or the demand for trading solutions declines, customer
acquisition does not increase as planned, product and international
expansion do not occur as planned, risks of compliance with laws
and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to the
business or the interpretation or application of laws and
regulations by regulatory authorities, and those other risks
contained in the Company's public filings, including in its
Management Discussion and Analysis and its Annual Information Form
(AIF). Factors that could cause actual results of the Company and
its businesses to differ materially from those described in such
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a
decline in the digital asset market or general economic conditions;
changes in laws or approaches to regulation, the failure or delay
in the adoption of digital assets and the blockchain ecosystem by
institutions; changes in the volatility of crypto currency, changes
in demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum, changes in the status or
classification of cryptocurrency assets, cybersecurity breaches, a
delay or failure in developing infrastructure for the trading

to an issuer or party to the transaction or failure to obtain a
required regulatory approval. In connection with the
forward-looking statements contained in this press release, the
Company has made assumptions that no significant events occur
outside of the Company's normal course of business and that current
trends in respect of digital assets continue. Readers are cautioned
that the key metrics disclosed in this press release, including,
without limitation, Assets Under Management and trading
volumes fluctuate and may increase and decrease from time to time

past performance, or current or past trends. Information
identifying assumptions, risks, and uncertainties relating to the

regulators available at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking
statements in this press release are applicable only as of the date
of this release or as of the date specified in the relevant
forward-looking statement and the Company undertakes no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of
