EXHIBIT 99.1

Issuer Direct Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results - Quarterly Revenue of $7.6 Million, an Increase of 43% from Q3 2022

RALEIGH, NC / Issuer Direct Corporation (NYSE American: ISDR) (the "Company"), a leading communications company, today reported its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

“This quarter we continued to deliver positive quarterly results in topline revenues, earnings and cashflows. We also are making progress in our overall market share and year-over-year growth in our news distribution business. Not including the benefits from our Newswire acquisition, our news distribution business has grown 10% year to date on a stand-alone basis and as a result helped drive quarterly revenues,” said Brian R. Balbirnie, Issuer Direct’s Chief Executive Officer.

· Revenues increased 43% to $7.6M from $5.3M in Q3 2022

· Adjusted EBITDA of $1.8M, up 45% from Q3 2022

· Subscriptions increased to 1,050 compared to 971 in Q3 2022

“Looking ahead, we have been focused on specific strategic goals of releasing new products which will be complimentary to our news distribution business. We believe these new products will help us drive further subscription growth in our entire communications business,” stated Mr. Balbirnie.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights:

· Revenue - Total revenue was $7,569,000, a 43% increase from $5,280,000 in Q3 2022 and a 22% decrease from $9,651,000 in Q2 2023. Communications revenue increased 74% from Q3 2022 and 2% from Q2 2023. The increase from Q3 2022 is primarily due to an increase in revenue generated by Newswire, which was acquired on November 1, 2022, as well as an increase in revenue generated from ACCESSWIRE, partially offset by a decrease in webcasting and events revenue due to less virtual events and annual meetings. Communications revenue was 80% of total revenue for Q3 2023, compared to 66% for Q3 2022 and 62% for Q2 2023. Revenue from our Compliance business decreased 17% from Q3 2022 and 60% from Q2 2023. The decrease in Compliance revenue from Q2 2023 is due to seasonality as well as a few significant projects which occurred in Q2 2023 and did not occur in Q3 2023.  The decrease from Q3 2022 is also related to a decrease in revenue from our print and proxy fulfillment services due to smaller projects during the quarter, as well as transfer agent revenue due to a decrease in corporate actions and directives during the quarter.

· Gross Margin - Gross margin for Q3 2023 was $5,772,000, or 76% of revenue, compared to $4,068,000, or 77% of revenue, during Q3 2022 and $7,315,000, or 76%, in Q2 2023. Communications gross margin percentage was 75%, compared to 77% in Q3 2022 and 76% in Q2 2023. The decrease in gross margin percentage for the period is primarily due to an increase in distribution costs as we continue to expand our reach and global footprint.

· Operating Income - Operating income was $593,000 for Q3 2023, as compared to $789,000 during Q3 2022. The decrease in operating income is primarily related to amortization expense attributed to intangible assets acquired during the Newswire acquisition.

· Net Income - On a GAAP basis, net income was $273,000, or $0.07 per diluted share during Q3 2023, compared to net income of $686,000, or $0.19 per diluted share during Q3 2022.

· Operating Cash Flows - Cash flows from operations for Q3 2023 were $287,000 compared to $1,381,000 in Q3 2022.

· Non-GAAP Measures – Q3 2023 EBITDA was $1,503,000, or 20% of revenue, compared to $952,000, or 18% of revenue during Q3 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,756,000, or 23% of revenue for Q3 2023 compared to $1,213,000, or 23% for Q3 2022. Non-GAAP net income for Q3 2023 was $1,015,000, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $978,000, or $0.27 per diluted share, during Q3 2022. Adjusted free-cash flow was $127,000 for Q3 2023 compared to $1,441,000 for Q3 2022.

Year to Date Q3 2023 Highlights:

· Revenue - Total revenue was $25,839,000, a 58% increase from $16,375,000 during the first nine months of 2022. Communications revenue increased 76% during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in Communications revenue was primarily related to the acquisition of Newswire, which is all included in Communications revenue. We also generated increased revenue from our ACCESSWIRE business, which increased 10% compared to the same period of the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in webcasting and events revenue, primarily due to less virtual events and annual meetings as compared to the prior year. Communications revenue was 72% of total revenue for the first nine months of 2023, compared to 65% for the same period in 2022. Revenue from our Compliance business increased 25% during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in Compliance revenue was primarily related to an increase in revenue from our print and proxy fulfillment services due to a few significant transactions which occurred during the first half of the year as well as an increase in revenue from our transfer agent services due to an increase in corporate actions and directives during the first half of 2023.

· Gross Margin - Gross margin for the first nine months of 2023 was $19,877,000 or 77% of revenue, compared to $12,567,000, also 77% of revenue, during the same period of 2022. Communications gross margin percentage was 77% during the first nine months of 2023, down from 78% during the first nine months of 2022. The decrease in gross margin percentage is primarily due to an increase in distribution costs as we continue to expand our reach and global footprint.

· Operating Income - Operating income was $2,921,000 for the first nine months of 2023, as compared to $2,625,000 during the same period of 2022. The increase in operating income is related to the increase in revenue, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

· Net Income - On a GAAP basis, net income was $1,492,000, or $0.39 per diluted share, during the first nine months of 2023, compared to $2,043,000, or $0.55 per diluted share, during the first nine months of 2022. Despite the increase in operating income, net income decreased because it was impacted by interest expense associated with our new credit agreement and the debt incurred to finance the Newswire acquisition, as well as a one-time cost to extinguish our debt associated with the Newswire transaction, partially offset by income resulting from the change in fair value of our interest rate swap.

· Operating Cash Flows - Cash flows from operations for the first nine months of 2023 were $2,290,000 compared to $3,025,000 in the same period of 2022.

· Non-GAAP Measures – EBITDA for the first nine months of 2023 was $5,147,000, or 20% of revenue, compared to $3,112,000, or 19% of revenue, during the same period of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $6,663,000, or 26% of revenue, for the first nine months of 2023, compared to $3,851,000, or 24%, for the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2023 was $4,314,000, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared to $2,883,000, or $0.77 per diluted share, during the same period of 2022. Adjusted free-cash flow was $2,638,000 for the first nine months of 2023 compared to $3,123,000 for the same period of 2022.

Key Performance Indicators:

· As of September 30, 2023, we had 12,171 customers who had an active contract during the past twelve months, compared to 7,084 as of September 30, 2022. Active customers as of September 30, 2023, included 4,877 customers from Newswire.

· During the quarter, the Company had 1,050 active customers subscribing to our products, compared to 971 customers during the same period last year. The Company defines a subscription as any customer who enters into a contract for a minimum of one year for one or more products.

A table has been included in this press release with non-GAAP adjustments to the Company’s net income, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the relevant periods.

Non-GAAP Information

Certain Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. In the calculation of these measures, the Company excludes certain items, such as amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, tax impact of adjustments, other unusual items. The Company believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in the Company's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such Non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and manage operations. The release and the attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the Non-GAAP measures referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial statements and investors should evaluate them carefully. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
