Revenue in Q2 2024 was $51.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 7% compared to Q2 2023. Creative Platform grew $1.7 million compared to Q2 2023 due to a large enterprise licensing deal signed in the quarter while the remainder of the increase is attributable to growth in the Software and Apps segment.
Revenue increased $2.1 million or 4% compared to Q1 2024 mainly due to the large enterprise licensing deal in Creative Platform.
Recurring revenue(1) in Q2 2024 was $9.6 million and made up 19% of total revenue, an increase of 1% compared to Q2 2023. This growth is mostly due to including a full quarter of Software and Apps' recurring revenue in Q2 2024 as compared to the partial quarter in Q2 2023 (acquired on April 17, 2023).
In Q2 2024, the Company acquired MediaNet, which has 98% SaaS based subscription revenue and highlights Tiny's strategic focus in acquiring recurring revenue platforms.
Cash on hand on June 30, 2024 was $22.4 million compared to $26.9 million on December 31, 2023. Total debt outstanding on June 30, 2024 was $121.1 million compared to $131.2 million on December 31, 2023. The decrease of $10.1 million is due to debt repayments, net of drawings, of $14.2 million offset with foreign exchange fluctuations to debt of $4.1 million.
During the quarter, the Company reduced its leverage by paying down $16.0 million, net of drawings, through a combination of scheduled and voluntary repayments.
The Company ended Q2 2024 with cash outflow from operations of $0.8 million, up from Q2 2023 cash outflow of $6.3 million. Q2 2023 cash flow from operations was impacted by the merger with WeCommerce, with the Company incurring business acquisition costs and non-recurring professional and severance expenses of $4.1 million. The improvement in the Company's cash flow from operations is a result of the higher revenue generated during the quarter along with fewer business acquisition and non-recurring costs in 2024.
Free cash flow(1) in Q2 2024 was $(3.6) million compared to $(5.4) million in Q2 2023. The improvement is a result of higher revenue generated during the quarter. When factoring in non-recurring costs and scheduled debt payments, the Adjusted Free Cash Flow Post Debt Servicing(1) in Q2 2024 was $(3.6) million compared to $(2.6) million in Q2 2023. This change is due to the timing of two scheduled debt payments falling in Q2 2024 compared to only one falling in the same period in 2023 as well as working capital timing.
Net loss in Q2 2024 was $1.7 million compared to net income of $32.7 million in Q2 2023, a change of $34.3 million compared to prior period. Net income in Q2 2023 included a one-time non-cash gain on share transaction of $42.1 million. Without the gain, net loss in Q2 2023 would have been $9.4 million, an improvement of $7.8 million. The improvement in Q2 2024 is mainly due to growth in revenues of $3.5 million and lower operating expenses of $2.4 million, with the remaining amount due to a higher deferred tax recovery.
EBITDA(1) in Q2 2024 was $4.9 million compared to $40.6 million in Q2 2023. EBITDA in Q2 2023 includes the one-time non-cash gain on share transaction of $42.1 million. Without the gain, EBITDA in Q2 2023 would have been $(1.4) million, which was a result of one-time costs incurred related to the Merger. Similar to net loss, the improvement is due to revenue growth and lower operating expenses.
Total assets on June 30, 2024 were $385.2 million compared to $392.6 million on December 31, 2023.

NON-IFRS MEASURES
Investors are cautioned that the non-IFRS measures used below should not replace net income or loss (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as an indicator of the Company's performance. These are supplemental measures management uses in managing the business and making decisions. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures are not intended as a substitute for IFRS measures.
EBITDA and EBITDA %
EBITDA is defined as earnings (net income or loss) before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) from the financial statements.
EBITDA % ratio is determined by dividing EBITDA by total revenue for the period.
EBITDA and EBITDA % is frequently used to assess profitability before the impact of finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets. EBITDA and EBITDA % are measures commonly reported and widely used as a valuation metric.
Recurring Revenue
Recurring Revenue consists of revenues generated through subscriptions that grant access to products and services with recurring billing cycles. The subscriptions are recognized over a time period in accordance with IFRS 15. Recurring Revenue is a part of total revenue disclosed in the financial statements, as determined in accordance with IFRS 15.
Recurring Revenue represents revenues that are stable and the Company expects to earn continuously. Recurring Revenue % is determined by dividing Recurring Revenue by total revenue for the year.
Recurring Revenue is frequently used to determine any indicators of future revenue growth and revenue trends. Recurring Revenue and Recurring Revenue % are measures commonly reported and widely used as a valuation metric.
Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow per Share, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Post Debt Servicing
Free Cash Flow ("FCF") refers to net cash flows from operating activities before interest paid on debt facilities, and business acquisition costs. Free cash flow is also reconciled from EBITDA where it is the net of EBITDA before income taxes paid, interest paid on debt facilities, non-cash expenses, business acquisition costs, and changes in non-cash working capital.
Free Cash Flow per Share is determined by dividing Free Cash Flow by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow Post Debt Servicing ("Adjusted FCF") refers to free cash flow net of acquisition related compensation, non-recurring costs and the scheduled payments on debt facilities.
Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Post Debt Servicing are frequently used by securities analysts and investors when valuing a business and its underlying assets. It provides a basis to evaluate how much cash is available to repay debt and to reinvest in the Company, which is an important indicator of financial strength and performance.
