  • Doubles company revenue from $50M to over $100M, creating a leading North American digital media firm in QSR, retail, convenience, stadium, and C-Store segments.

  • Expands total addressable market, especially in lottery and media revenue verticals, and strengthens content, strategy, and creative capabilities.

  • Adds significant enterprise accounts and recurring SaaS/media revenue, enhancing cross-sell, credibility, and presence in both U.S. and Canada.

  • Low customer overlap enables attractive commercial synergies and broadens verticals, including the largest mall DOOH network in Canada, covering 95 malls and 750 million annual shopper visits.

  • CDM's key leaders will remain, supporting leadership and expertise in retail media networks and lottery.

  • Existing $21M credit facility paid off, ensuring sufficient working capital and liquidity post-transaction.

Synergies and expected cost savings

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
