TORONTO, May 25, 2018 /CNW/ - Prodigy Ventures Inc. (TSXV: PGV)
("Prodigy" or the "Company") today announced the results for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
"Prodigy resumed strong revenue growth and continued to diversify its client base in the first quarter", said Prodigy's CEO,
Tom Beckerman. "From this time last year, we have added seven net new clients, tripling our client
base. We have also initiated a new strategic partnership to deliver secure identity solutions. Gross profit declined with
an increase in technology labour costs, and operating expenses grew with our continued investments in sales and marketing and
R&D. These investments are now accelerating revenue growth and are expected to improve margins as new technologies and
capabilities are delivered to customers."
