Provides 2024 Outlook

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 14, 2024 — PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSquare,” or the “Company”), a leading marketplace of patriotic, pro-family businesses and consumers, today announced financial results for the year-end of 2023.

Michael Seifert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PublicSquare, commented, “2023 was a tremendous year for PublicSquare as we listed on the NYSE, built a commerce ecosystem for a network of Americans that are looking to spend their hard-earned money with values-aligned brands, and launched our first wholly owned D2C and B2B products. As we enter 2024, we see potential in the business well beyond our initial expectations. By leveraging the power of our total addressable market and growing the parallel economy ecosystem we are working towards our long-term goal of operating as a holdings company. The PublicSquare ecosystem is truly a marketing engine that powers the entirety of our vendor audience. We expect to continue to grow organically and via intentional, low-cost customer acquisition strategies. Our marketplace not only lifts and elevates the businesses on our platform but also serves as a key driver for our wholly-owned brands and subsidiaries, like Credova and EveryLife. Further, with the acquisition of Credova, we are moving closer to our objective of owning the infrastructure that underpins our customer acquisition channel.”

Segments

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s operating and reportable segments include:

●

Marketplace: PSQ has created a marketplace platform to access consumers that are drawn to patriotic values. The Company generates revenue from advertising and eCommerce transactions.

●

Brands: The first wholly-owned brand is EveryLife, Inc., which generates revenue from online sales of diapers and wipes.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from operations less depreciation and amortization, share based compensation and transaction costs. Earnings (loss) from operations excludes interest, interest expense, gain (loss) on sale of equipment, change in fair value of financial instruments and other expenses. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the Company’s businesses.

Segment performance, as defined by the Company, is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies.

The following tables set forth the Company’s revenues, net and adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
