Acquisitions to Contribute $1.5 million in Annual EBITDA Before Synergies


–

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digerati Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: DTGI) (“Digerati” or the “Company”), a provider of cloud services specializing in UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) solutions for the small to medium-sized business (“SMB”) market, is pleased to announce the closing of two acquisitions, Nexogy, Inc. (Nexogy.com), and ActivePBX (ActivePBX.com), leading providers of cloud communication, UCaaS, and broadband solutions tailored for businesses.

As a combined business, Nexogy, ActivePBX, and Digerati’s operating subsidiary, T3 Communications, Inc., serves over 2,600 business customers and approximately 28,000 users while generating over $14 million in annual revenue. The business model of the combined entities is supported by strong and predictable recurring revenue with high gross margins under contracts with business customers in various industries including banking, healthcare, financial services, legal, insurance, hotels, real estate, staffing, municipalities, food services, and education. The contribution of $1.5 million in annual EBITDA from the acquisitions is expected to have an immediate and positive impact on the consolidated EBITDA of the Company with additional improvements to be realized during FY2021 from the anticipated cost synergies and consolidation savings.

In addition to the financial contribution and operational synergies, each of the acquisitions brings a distinct set of capabilities and best practices that will contribute to the Company’s growth plan. Over the years, the Nexogy team has developed a channel sales program that has proven to be effective and resulted in Nexogy’s recognition as one of the fastest growing technology companies in South Florida and nomination by the Miami Minority Chamber of Commerce as “High Tech Company of the Year 2016’’. ActivePBX has placed a strong emphasis on integrating its cloud communication platform with Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) systems and most recently achieved the ‘Built for NetSuite’ status with its proven ActiveCRM CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) solution. This integration, built for Oracle NetSuite’s SuiteCloud Platform, allows organizations to pass CRM data seamlessly, easily, and conveniently between ActivePBX’s cloud system and Oracle NetSuite.

Arthur L. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Digerati, commented, “I commend our team for staying on task and completing, not one, but two acquisitions simultaneously and we look forward to working with the talented people at Nexogy and ActivePBX that have placed a high value on customer service and retention. We will make integrating these transactions into our operations a top priority as we move on to the next phase of the Company’s growth plan. As we have done with past acquisitions, our team has identified and will implement operating cost efficiencies and strategic growth initiatives to target organic revenue growth and boost the combined EBITDA. In addition, we continue to have a solid pipeline of potential acquisition targets in various stages of development and have a corporate goal to up-list to either the Nasdaq or NYSE American.”

The Company also announced that it closed on its $20 million financing facility to complete its acquisitions and will provide information on the financing in an upcoming 8K filing and Company news release.

Q Advisors, a TMT global investment banking boutique, acted as the financial advisor to Nexogy.

Chicago, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) announced a four-year, $12 million partnership to support the expansion of family-centered health care services for children across Ukraine. USAID will provide $6 million to support the expansion of RMHC Ukraine and the services it provides to families and communities. RMHC will leverage USAID funding with $6 million in direct and in-kind support from the private sector.

This first-ever partnership between RMHC and USAID will raise awareness and understanding of the importance of family-centered care across Ukraine’s healthcare system, while also supporting families whose children have been hospitalized.  This assistance will save families millions of dollars in meals and lodging.  This partnership will also expand community engagement opportunities through a new volunteer management program instituted by RMHC Ukraine. 

“Family-centered care is critically important to providing health care to children in Ukraine, especially those with serious medical conditions,” said Kelly Dolan, Chief Marketing and Development Officer, RMHC. “With this tremendous support from USAID, families in Ukraine will be able to fully engage with health care providers to make informed decisions about the health care and support services their child receives.”

Among other activities, RMHC Ukraine will deploy a national education program for the medical community to strengthen the Ukrainian medical system. Efforts will focus on family-centered care to help ensure that a patient’s family members work with health care providers to make informed decisions about the medical treatment and services received. 

“The United States is always looking for ways to help lift lives, build communities, and mobilize the energy and talent of our partners in the private sector, civil society, and government in support of our overarching objective  – to help build a Ukraine that is democratic, secure, prosperous, and healthy,” said U.S. Embassy-Kyiv Chargé d’Affaires Kristina Kvien.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fulcrum Partners Managing Director and Partner, Scott Cahill was a featured guest on Nehemiah E-Community Podcast, hosted by Patrice Tsague, founder of Nehemiah Project International and the Nehemiah E-Community. Candid and insightful, Scott discussed his approach to business, his commitment to philanthropy and how he and others at the Fulcrum Partners team have brought disruptive innovation and much-needed transparency to executive benefits consulting.

Scott, who begin in the industry more than forty years ago selling insurance “across kitchen tables,” explained, “As I learned about institutional products and was involved in business cases where the use of life insurance is totally different than it is in the family situation, I was motivated to learn more. I worked on product design committees and learned how to use favorable tax attributes and other strategies for executive benefits.

“I’ve always felt that I have to serve the client first. When we are serving clients’ needs first, everything else works out. Fulcrum Partners has opened the door for me and others on our team to operate this way, bringing transparency and choice to our clients. We’ve been able to change a lot of things about our industry.”

Patrice Tsague, whose podcasts for entrepreneurs and business executives are released to over 4,000 listeners globally, has through his international organization trained and coached over 15,000 individuals on how to start or expand their business. The interview, titled “Business Resilience in the Midst of a Pandemic,” goes beyond the principles that have positioned Fulcrum Partners to continue to thrive even in the face of a global pandemic. Scott shares stories of his father’s powerful positive influence on his life and the lives of his siblings, along with quirky and engaging observations such as how he came to realize “not all insurance salespeople are happy and drive a Cadillac.” He even pulls back the curtain on his current projects saying, “Right now, we are pioneering an innovation that is not insurance based. We’re bringing tax-favored exchange traded funds, (ETFs) transparently and with fiduciary-type oversite to nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The client loves it; the participants love it. We are breaking open the silo.”

You can watch this podcast, and others with host Patrice Tsague on YouTube, Anchor, Stitcher and the Nehemiah E-Community Facebook page. It is also available on the Fulcrum Partners website at www.fulcrumpartnersllc.com/resources/.
