Management's Comments on Q1-2023
Jeffrey Hasham, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, noted 'We are very pleased with our results in the first quarter of 2023. We continue to see strong demand for our services, including our core shredding service offering, which, coupled with continued strong recycling revenue and increases in our e-waste business, has helped drive our organic revenue growth. The revenue from our Proscan business is in part dictated by timing and approval of customer budgets, which impacts when the Company can perform these services. Our pipeline of scanning projects remains strong.
From a cost perspective, we have started to see some signs of easing, particularly in driver wage inflation and fuel pricing. The Company is reviewing its pricing and will look to increase prices in 2023 in response to cost increases. The Company also expects to realize further synergies from recently completed acquisitions related to route densification and optimization that should help enhance future margins.
For the quarter, I am pleased to report that Q1 2023 Corporate location EBITDA was $6.1 million Canadian, an increase of 23% from Q1 2022. This, coupled with our franchise business, has driven consolidated EBITDA to $4.7 million Canadian for Q1 2023. These results are a reflection of the hard work and commitment of our employees, franchisees, management and board members, and I would like to personally thank each of them for their efforts and contributions to start the year.'

Community and Social Commitment
Our locations under the PROSHRED® banner conduct numerous community shredding events. These events provide an opportunity for our clients, clients' employees, local businesses and local residents to ensure their personal and confidential materials are securely destroyed. In addition to helping to reduce identity theft, several of these events allow for donations to various not-for-profit organizations. PROSHRED® is also proud that 100% of the shredded material is recycled, as our continued goal is to foster the use of fewer trees in the production of all paper products. Future community shredding event locations can be found on our website, www.proshred.com. Our annual national Shred Cancer event will be held in June of 2023 at various Proshred locations. These events are held to raise research funds for the American Institute for Cancer Research ('AICR'). It is our goal as a Company and Franchise System to support AICR in their endeavor to prevent cancer and possibly cure this disease. So far, PROSHRED® has raised over USD$205,000 for this cause. Please visit www.proshred.com/aicr for more information on this effort.
