Symbility Solutions Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

TORONTO, March 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Symbility Solutions Inc. ("Symbility" or the "Company") (TSX.V: SY), a global software company focused on modernizing the insurance industry, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

"2017 was a very positive year for Symbility as we continued to solidify our position in the P&C Insurance market globally," said James Swayze, Chief Executive Officer of Symbility Solutions. "We added new insurance companies to our Property platform in North America, Europe and Asia; launched our Health mobile benefits app with multiple providers; and saw a 50 percent increase to our app development with our Services team as customers looked to advance their mobile offerings. Furthermore, we approached the high end of our revenue guidance while exceeding our Adjusted EBITDA¹ guidance as our model yielded higher leverage on the heels of a strong second half of the year."

Mr. Swayze continued, "Looking ahead to 2018, we remain committed to driving shareholder value as our markets seek improved customer experience through mobile tools that provide greater engagement and transparency for policyholders. Our ability to quickly integrate partner applications and datasets enables us to scale our business and drive customer efficiencies with only nominal incremental cost. Symbility is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the Insurtech momentum with our suite of applications which will drive expanded EBITDA margins into the future."
