CEO Message
“Tribe has continued to see substantial revenue growth for the third quarter in a row with progress across all of our M&A activities, digital partnerships and organic growth. Revenues increased by 259% compared to the same period last year. We are experiencing strong growth in gross margin on a per-home basis as we continue to digitize our acquired customers and roll-out our Tribe Home platform to more communities.
Our digital approach to the traditional property management industry continues to be embraced by condo and rental communities alike with a very healthy organic lead pipeline. The constant increase in our geographic footprint allows our services to be available to a bigger audience nationally,” stated Joseph Nakhla, Chief Executive Officer of Tribe. “Our team has built a healthy funnel of potential acquisition targets and we are pleased with our integration process and speed, with the purchase and integration of a condo management portfolio in BC’s Okanagan during Q3.”
“This quarter, we formally launched our Digital Partnership Program offering a range of carefully curated services through our Tribe Home platform, that support and simplify residential community living throughout the life-cycle of a community,” added Mr. Nakhla.

1 Non-IFRS measure that does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is also not a measure recognized in accordance with IFRS and does not have a prescribed or standardized meaning by IFRS. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, income tax expense, and other expenses. It should be noted that Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other entities. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides important and relevant information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA also enables management to assess its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, and to support future growth. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring or not useful to investors. Investors should be cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA attributable to shareholders should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows as determined under IFRS.
2 Non-IFRS measure that does not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to a similar measure disclosed by other issuers. Gross profit and gross profit percentage do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines gross profit as revenue less cost of software and services and software licensing fees, and gross profit percentage as gross profit calculated as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit and gross profit percentage should not be construed as an alternative for revenue or net loss in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that gross profit and gross profit percentage are meaningful metrics in assessing the Company’s financial performance and operational efficiency.
