Stuart Last, CEO of Audioboom, commented: “The story of 2022 was of record revenue, record adjusted EBITDA profit, and record cash generation for Audioboom. We increased our market share considerably, continued on our mission to power podcasting for creators and brands, and we expanded our creator network diluting revenue concentration amongst our top tier of podcast creators. Our progress was limited by an advertising market that weakened throughout the year due to macroeconomic conditions, but I am pleased with our performance and remain confident in our future.”
