CONTAGIOUS GAMING ANNOUNCES FILING OF ITS QUARTERLY RESULTS FOR DECEMBER 31, 2015 Q3

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE US OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES

VANCOUVER, B.C., March 1, 2016 – Contagious Gaming Inc. (TSX-V: CNS) (“Contagious Gaming” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the filing of its Interim Financial Statements for December 31, 2015 (the “Q3 Financial Results”) on SEDAR.

A summary of select highlights from the Q3 Financial Results include:

• a 214% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth to $678,704 from $215,844;
• a 40% quarter-over-quarter decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss to ($272,563) from ($456,363); and,
• an adjusted Earnings (Loss) of ($696,301) from ($771,381) in the previous quarter.

“We are pleased to announce the Company’s Q3 Financial Results which show significant improvement to our previous quarter’s results. This improvement is primarily due to the closing of the Digitote acquisition in December 2015. We look forward to further expected improvement of our financial metrics as we report a full quarter of consolidated financials including Digitote’s results,” commented Peter Glancy, CEO and Director.

The Company’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 are available at www.sedar.com.

Non-IFRS Measures:

The following non-IFRS definitions are used in this news release because management believes that they provide useful information regarding our ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned that the definitions are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be construed to be alternatives to revenues and net loss and comprehensive loss for the period determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of performance, liquidity or cash flows. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from the method used by other entities and accordingly our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities or in other jurisdictions.

• Adjusted EBITDA as by the Company means earnings before interest and financing costs (net of interest income), income taxes, amortization, depreciation, RTO public listing, stock based compensation, stock based marketing compensation, transaction costs and acquisition costs. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it provides information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company and its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, service outstanding debt and fund future capital expenditures.

• Adjusted Earnings (Loss), as defined by the Company, means net income (loss) plus or minus items of note that management may reasonably quantify and that it believes will provide the reader with a better understanding of the Company’s underlying business performance. For the purposes of the Company’s current quarter MD&A, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for (i) financing costs related to extinguished debt, (ii) stock based compensation, (iii) stock based marketing compensation, (iv) RTO public listing, (v) transaction costs and (vi) acquisition related costs. Management believes that Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is an important indicator of the issuer’s ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, service outstanding debt and fund future capital expenditures and uses the metric for this purpose. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is also used by investors and analysts for the purpose of valuing an issuer.

During the current quarter, the Company modified its definition of Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting its earnings by acquisition related costs. Acquisition costs include professional fees, travel, due diligence and other costs incurred in the process of identifying and investigating acquisition targets and negotiating acquisition contracts. Acquisition costs are not considered to be the Company’s normal operating costs, therefore the Company believes that to measure the Company’s core business performance and liquidity it is important to include this adjustment in determination of Adjusted EBITDA.

The intent of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts and these measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share should therefore not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share differently.

A reconciliation of the adjusted measures noted above to results of operations under IRFS is included in the “Discussion of Operations” section of the Company’s MD&A.
