“We are happy to report record total revenue of $10.0 million, a first for Quorum, and improved profitability for the second quarter of 2023. Throughout Q2 2023, we continued our disciplined approach to profitable growth, with Adjusted EBITDA2 up 17% to $1.7 million and Adjusted Cash Income (“ACI”) up 46% to $1.0 million,” stated Maury Marks, President and CEO.
“Q2 2023 was also a very exciting quarter as it marked our fifth acquisition in six years, VINN Automotive Technologies Limited (“VINN”).

“Through a combination of purposeful product investment and strategic acquisitions, Quorum now has a uniquely integrated product suite of 13 essential software solutions and services that we can sell to dealers to drive their business,” stated Mr. Marks. “We will remain focussed on executing our profitable growth strategy throughout the remainder of 2023. I would also like to sincerely thank our employees who are the driving force behind our positive Q2 2023 results; their continued innovation ensures Quorum has a product suite prepared for the future of automotive.”

*Monthly recurring revenue per unit (“MRRPU”) implies that, as of the end of Q2 2023, each dealership (“Dealer Rooftop”) represents approximately $19.9K of SaaS annual recurring revenue (“ARR”).
The reduction in rooftops, as compared to Q1 2023, was primarily due to a reduction in DealerMine brand’s rooftops as an increasing number of dealerships want a unified CRM provider. To meet the market demand and to compliment our best-in-class Service CRM solution, DealerMine now has a more compelling Sales CRM solution with the recent launch of the Sales CRM Mobile App.
