Improving Financials

Accelerize’s revenue increased 30% year over year to $21.4 million in FY2015, driven by an increasing number of clients and greater usage by existing clients. Last year, the company began integrating with a growing number of marketing platforms to measure results across search, affiliate, social, mobile, video, and other channels. These integrations – including Google, Facebook, and IBM – have attracted a growing number of enterprise customers.

According to the company’s annual report filed on March 17th, the company has broadened its revenue base outside of the United States. Last year, nearly 30% of its overall revenue came from international sources. More than 60 new clients were added from the EMEA, APAC, and LATAM regions, which expanded its presence into more than 30 countries in total around the world. This diversification helps reduce the risk of a country-specific downturn impacting the company’s overall revenue.

Looking Ahead

Accelerize has been growing at a 30% CAGR over the past three years and plans on achieving positive cash flow this year. Investors interested in the online marketing space may want to take a closer look at the stock given these analyst recommendations and the company’s significant growth over the past few years.
