| Three months endedSept. 30, 2022 | Three months endedSept. 30, 2021 | Nine months endedSept. 30, 2022 | Nine months endedSept. 30, 2021 | |
| Revenue | $ 4,529,310 | $4,085,215 | $ 13,064,345 | $ 11,842,160 |
Tribe achieved revenue growth of 10.9 % in the third quarter of 2022 over the same period in the prior year, driven primarily by organic growth and tuck-in acquisitions. Delays in the occupancy of new buildings are ongoing due to supply chain issues, municipal government bureaucracy, and labour issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, all led to lower-than-expected revenue growth.
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased by 10.9% compared to the third quarter of 2021. Revenue for the nine months that ended September 30, 2022, increased by 10.3% compared to the first nine months of 2021.
Profitability was negatively impacted this quarter by:
- Delays in new building completion due to supply-chain and development logistics challenges affecting higher-margin software and monthly recurring revenue;
- Revenue growth in the minimal margin property maintenance division of the Company;
- Increase in headcount due to new community onboarding, integration and optimization in product development related to the recent launch of the digital marketplace; and
- Salary adjustments and higher than average labour turnover given COVID and post-COVID market pressure.
“Our immediate focus is on margin improvements” added Joseph Nakhla. “We continue to make progress to implementing cost efficiencies and driving post-acquisition synergies ”.

Adjusted EBITDA is a 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 others 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.
Gross profit and gross profit percentage are non-IFRS measures that do 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 others 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.
