Clip Money Inc. Reports First Quarter 2025 Results
TORONTO, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clip Money Inc. (TSX-V: CLIP) (OTCQB: CLPMF) (' Clip Money ' or the 'Company '), a company that operates a multi-bank self-service deposit system for businesses, is pleased to announce its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company reported continued revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025, up 225% from Q1 2024, while cost of revenues were up only 35% during the same time period, maintaining high operating leverage into the new year.
First Quarter Financial 2025 Highlights:
Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 (' Q1 2025 ') was $972,706, compared to $299,176 in the first quarter of 2024 (' Q1 2024 '), which equates to 225% growth year-over-year (' YoY '). Q1 2025 revenue was down 16% quarter-over-quarter (' QoQ ') compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 (' Q4 2024 '), which was a function of Q4 seasonality from holiday shopping. Excluding the impact of seasonality, revenue grew 11% QoQ.
Revenue growth continues to outpace changes in Costs of Revenue (' COR '). Q1 2025 COR of $1,009,557 was up 35% YoY, relative to 225% YoY revenue growth.
YoY revenue growth for Q1 2025 was driven by a 153% increase in new deposit users, and a 10% increase in average monthly deposit revenue per user. Deposit revenue growth was supported by contribution from new products, namely revenue from Change Orders and implementation fees. New product revenue represented 22% of total revenue in Q1 2025 compared to 9% in Q1 2024.
Operating expenses for Q1 2025 were $1,832,196, compared to $1,680,477 in Q1 2024, which represents a 9% YoY increase. Q1 2025 operating expenses were 8% higher QoQ compared to Q4 2024. Net loss for Q1 2025 was $2,280,281, compared to $2,397,212 in Q1 2024, which represents an improvement of 5% YoY.
On February 24, 2025, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of an unsecured convertible note for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000 from Cardtronics Inc., a subsidiary of NCR Atleos Corporation.
Network & Customer Highlights:
Clip Money grew its leading shopping center network to 473 ClipDrop deposit units in Q1 2024, adding 29 additional shopping center locations in the quarter.
Continued organic growth from existing customers led to 401 new users in the quarter. Existing customers drove immediate adoption at newly deployed mall locations.

Torontonians spend more on housing than nearly every city worldwide, study claims. Here's what experts say needs to change
A new global index suggests Toronto is among the world's worst cities when it comes to housing affordability — as experts blame decades of policy missteps, development delays, and overwhelming population demand for the problem. The 2025 Global Cities Index from Oxford Economics finds that as a result of Toronto's expensive real estate market, residents 'spend more of their income on housing than residents of nearly every other city in the world.' While the federal government recently promised to eliminate the GST on first-time home purchases under $1 million, critics argue that restrictive housing policies, costly development charges and sluggish approvals have created a market that's out of reach for most buyers. The average price of a home in the Toronto area did decline four per cent year-over-year in May but still stood at more than $1.1 million, according to the latest data from the Toronto Region Real Estate Board. 'Over the past 20 years Toronto's population has grown by 35 per cent but affordable housing hasn't kept up. The result? Life is getting too expensive for families,' Mayor Olivia Chow said during a press conference on Friday. 'Young people are giving up on the dream of home ownership.' The City of Toronto has a program where it will defer development fees for some projects so long as at least 20 per cent of its units are affordable. However, demand for the program has far exceeded the city's ability to fund it and as a result Chow says that there are projects totalling 300,000 new units from about 70 different developers that are 'shovel ready' and just 'sitting there in the pipeline' waiting for funding from other levels of government. In Toronto alone, development fees can add more than $100,000 to the cost of a new home and in some areas in the GTA development fees can easily double that, says Frank Clayton, Senior Research Fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University. Prime Minister Mark Carney has previously promised to help municipalities reduce those fees by 50 per cent through additional payments that could be distributed by the provinces though he has not provided a timeline for those investments. 'If a municipality takes $200,000 up front, developers got to increase their prices such that $200,000 is reflected ultimately in the price of the house,' Clayton said. 'Builders won't build, unless they can cover their costs.' Toronto housing A real estate sign is displayed on the front lawn of a house in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Thursday, May 11, 2017. Clayton identifies three key culprits behind Toronto's crisis: high fees, restrictive planning rules, and relentless demand — the latter driven in part by immigration. Last year alone, nearly 300,000 newcomers arrived in the region, fuelling further housing pressure. 'You need sites. You need sites that are zoned, and you need sites that are serviced,' Clayton said. 'The planning system is very unresponsive to changes in demand.' 'We have to act now' New home sales in the GTA hit a seventh consecutive month of record all-time lows in April, owing in part to a significant reduction in housing starts. Dave Wilkes, president and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), says time is running out to fix the system. 'We are seeing real market consequences. 80,000 people leave the GTA,' Wilkes said. 'The longer we wait, the longer that it's going to take to balance supply and demand.' Wilkes is calling for urgent action on housing taxes — especially the harmonized sales tax (HST) formula, which hasn't been revised since 1991. 'Making that change on HST today is the most immediate thing we could do,' Wilkes said. 'It would bring costs down by a dramatic 13 per cent for the first million dollars of a purchase.' He also warned that the federal government's plan to remove GST only for homes under $1 million misses the mark in high-cost cities like Toronto, where the average sale price sits well above that. 'Under a million is just not a product type that is available in the GTA,' he emphasized. Row of houses in Toronto Children ride bikes by a row of houses in Toronto on Tuesday July 12, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Cole Burston What is the market is lacking? Jason Mercer, Chief Information Officer for the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, says affordability has technically improved — but warns that too little new construction could reverse that trend. 'Two years ago, a lot of households simply wouldn't have qualified,' Mercer said. 'Today, I would argue that a lot of those households could qualify, because prices have edged lower and interest rates have come down.' Still, Mercer says demand will eventually rebound, and if the city can't match it with supply, prices will climb again. 'We haven't done a good job keeping up with housing supply to meet that population growth,' he said. 'From a public policy perspective, we want to look at ways that we see sort of a sustained pipeline of new housing coming online.' A turning point with urgency Clayton says the roots of the crisis stretch back to the early-2000s when Ontario shifted its land-use focus towards environmental protection, including the establishment of the Greenbelt. He argues the policy limited where housing could be built, and gave too much power to growth management plans that discouraged the types of homes most people want — townhouses and detached units. 'We have to have a competitive supply of land,' Clayton said. 'Because if there's competition, then prices don't go up very much.' Despite efforts from all levels of government to address the issue — including a recent Ontario bill aimed at speeding up construction — most experts agree that housing affordability won't be meaningfully restored unless there's a broad and urgent shift in policy, from zoning and fees to taxes and timelines. 'The time for discussion has concluded. We really need the time for action,' Wilkes said.

Nvidia Stock: Forget AI Data Centers, Is This Market Nvidia's Next Big Growth Driver?
It's clear that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the biggest winner of the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the go-to chips for running AI workloads in data centers, thanks to their parallel processing capabilities. Parallel processing allows chips to perform many calculations all at once, which is essential for both training large language models (LLMs) and running AI inference. Just as important is Nvidia's CUDA software platform, which makes it easy for developers to build and optimize AI models on its hardware. The combination of best-in-class GPU performance along with a sticky software platform has helped cement the company's lead in the data center space. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » At the same time, this has been an explosive market. Over the past two years, its data center revenue has gone from $4.3 billion in the fiscal first quarter of 2024 (ended April 30, 2023) to $39.1 billion in fiscal Q1 of 2026 (ended April 27, 2025). That's a nearly 10 times increase in just two years. Nvidia sees data center capital expenditures (capex) rising to more than $1 trillion by 2028. Not all that spending will go toward GPUs, but with its more than 80% market share in the GPU space, Nvidia is well positioned to capture a sizable chunk of that overall data center spending growth. However, that is not the only potential huge market that Nvidia is eyeing. Nvidia's next big opportunity While AI data center spending is Nvidia's largest market by far, it's certainly not the only end market it participates in. The GPU was originally created to speed up graphics rendering in video games. The company later created CUDA as a way to expand beyond this market, giving developers an easy way to program its GPUs for other tasks. However, the market for GPUs outside of video games was slow to develop. Around the same time CUDA was introduced, Advanced Micro Devices bought rival GPU maker ATI Technologies. With integration a top priority and not a lot of early traction outside of video games for GPUs, AMD was in no rush to create a competing software platform. Despite the slow uptake, Nvidia smartly began pushing CUDA for use in universities and research labs, which helped make it the default software program that developers were taught to program GPUs. Today, that is why Nvidia's GPUs have a dominant place in the data center. At this same time, though, Nvidia was also edging into another market: automobiles. In fact, Audi was one of its first big customers outside of the video game space. The German luxury carmaker began using Nvidia's GPUs in its infotainment and navigation systems, and Nvidia later built a full automotive platform called DRIVE, which is a family of hardware and software tools developers need for advanced driver-assistance and autonomous vehicle development. While long promised, autonomous driving is finally here. Alphabet's Waymo, for example, is now providing more than 250,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in the U.S. It's currently only in a few cities, but it's expanding rapidly. According to reports, Waymo uses Nvidia's GPUs in its vehicles. Waymo is not Nvidia's only automobile customer -- far from it. Mercedes, Volvo, and Hyundai all use Nvidia's DRIVE platform and GPUs to power self-driving technologies, while Toyota announced it would use Nvidia's platform and chips for advanced driver assistance features in its next-generation vehicles. Meanwhile, General Motors and Hyundai will use Nvidia technologies to improve their manufacturing with "smart factory" initiatives. Last quarter, Nvidia saw its automobile revenue surge 72% to $567 million. However, more growth is in store, with the company forecasting its auto revenue to rise to approximately $5 billion this fiscal year. The growth will come as new vehicles using its technology begin to hit the roads. Mercedes' new CLA sedan is the latest vehicle with its technology. It's easy to dismiss a segment that was only a fraction of its data center revenue last quarter, but with the data center, Nvidia showed how quickly end markets can ramp up. The autonomous driving market is still in its infancy, so the opportunity is just massive. With Waymo having just around 1,500 robotaxis now, it's easy to see that this could scale to 100x or more vehicles when it reaches scale. Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has predicted that every car on the road will eventually be robotic. With more than 1 billion cars on the road, that's a huge opportunity. At its investor day in 2022, Nvidia estimated the auto market could be a $300 billion opportunity. With Nvidia's stock trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 33 times this year's analyst estimates and a 0.7 price/earnings-to-growth (PEG ) ratio, with numbers below 1 considered undervalued, the stock is currently not pricing in any potential upside from its next big potential market opportunity.

Value Meets Growth: 3 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks Even Warren Buffett Might Respect
Investors often view value stocks and growth stocks as mutually exclusive. This is likely because growth stocks often trade at premium valuations, and value stocks tend to attract conservative investors, or those focused on income more than growth. That essentially describes investors like Warren Buffett. However, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway includes stocks such as Amazon and T-Mobile that arguably tend more toward growth than value. Knowing that, one can identify artificial intelligence (AI)-oriented value stocks that might draw an investor like Buffett. These names are three examples. 1. Alphabet Amid Buffett's bent toward technology investors in recent years, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG) looks like a stock that could fit Berkshire's portfolio. Alphabet is a longtime leader in the AI field, and that technology helped the company cement its leadership in search, a business that has consistently generated massive free cash flows through its leadership in digital advertising. Nonetheless, it still derives 74% of its revenue from ads, and the rise of ChatGPT has raised questions about Alphabet's business model. With its market share in search now below 90%, it is under pressure to turn to other income sources. Fortunately, it has done just that, deriving 14% of its revenue from Google Cloud. Also, its $45 billion autonomous driving company Waymo also holds the potential to pick up some of the slack. To stay competitive, Alphabet pledged to spend $75 billion in capital expenditures (capex) this year. The company holds around $95 billion in liquidity, and it generated $75 billion in free cash flow over the trailing 12 months, a figure that does not include the capex spending. That investment makes it likely the Google parent will stay competitive. When also considering the P/E ratio of about 19, value investors have tremendous incentive to bet on an AI-driven comeback. 2. Meta Platforms Most investors likely know Facebook parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) better as a social media stock than an AI leader. One can understand that, given the 3.4 billion people that log on to a Meta-owned social media site every day. That amounts to 42% of the population, a figure that implies it is closing in on market saturation. With the amount of data generated by its users, Meta sees its future in the metaverse and AI. To that end, it has begun to invest heavily in technology and data centers, pledging to spend between $64 billion and $72 billion in 2025 in capex to build its infrastructure. Despite that staggering sum, it can likely afford to make this investment. Meta holds more than $70 billion in liquidity, and it generated $50 billion over the trailing 12 months. Additionally, its P/E ratio is just around 27. When considering that reasonable valuation, its massive potential for AI leadership, and ability to generate cash, Meta is a growth stock priced to drive value-oriented investors. 3. Qualcomm Another surprising value stock is Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM). The AI chip designer has long led the development of smartphone chipsets, but heavy exposure to China and Apple 's plan to develop chipsets in-house have soured many investors on Qualcomm stock. However, investors have good reason to bet on an AI-driven recovery. Qualcomm has diversified into IoT, automotive, PC chips, and data center processors as it prepares for softer smartphone demand. Admittedly, it is not investing as heavily as some tech giants in capex, spending just $1.1 billion over the previous 12 months. Nonetheless, with the DeepSeek breakthrough making low-cost AI more feasible, an AI-driven upgrade cycle could breathe new life into its smartphone business, increasing that segment's 12% annual revenue growth rate. Moreover, its IoT and automotive segments grew revenue at a yearly rate of 27% and 59%, respectively, helping Qualcomm diversify its revenue base more rapidly. Additionally, amid the impending loss of Apple and its China ties, Qualcomm trades at a 15 P/E ratio. That's far below any of the major chip design companies, and with its potential to support AI smartphones and other products, that valuation arguably makes this semiconductor stock too cheap to ignore.
