William Schonbrun, President and CEO of Bitzio, commented, “The fourth quarter of 2011 was the first real -executional- quarter for the business. In early 2011 we strategically decided to take a -team first- approach to the business and spent Q2 and Q3 focused on getting the right team and market strategy in place. By Q4, we had our team and the key, initial acquisitions in place. As you can see from the results, we executed on our plan and delivered fundamental value to our clients and the market.”
“We delivered products in all of our focus areas – developer education, developer tools and mobile apps – and generated revenue in all areas during Q4. During the first half of 2012, we will continue to build a solid operational base as we focus on product design, development and delivery of these products to market. We continue to seek out and secure additional key acquisitions like Digispace, which closed in early January 2012, to further solidify our core operations and open new avenues, markets and channels. Overall, we-re thrilled with our performance in 2011 and our start to 2012, and believe our future will be very bright.”
