HUMBL Reduces Company Debt by over $10.8 Million, Announces Strategic Move to Simplify Operations and Focus on Core Technology Through Subsidiary Spin-Off of Tickeri

San Diego, California, Feb. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUMBL, Inc. (OTCQB: HMBL) announced the spin-off of Tickeri, Inc. in a strategic move to focus resources exclusively on developing and releasing HUMBL’s own core technologies and customer funnel. Spinning off this subsidiary allows HUMBL to tailor capital allocation strategies, reduce burn rate and make company-specific investment decisions to drive long term growth and value.

In an agreement executed with the Tickeri founders on January 31, 2023, the parties mutually released all liabilities and the Tickeri assets were transferred back to its founders, cancelling related promissory notes. The spin-off will strengthen HUMBL’s balance sheet by significantly reducing company debt by $10,852,916 and enhancing shareholder’s equity.

Although this subsidiary provided top-line gross revenues to the Company, this ultimately did not result in bottom-line profits and actually increased day-to-day operating expenses for HUMBL. Divesting of this subsidiary will help to reduce operating losses each fiscal quarter. Focusing on the Company’s core technology will help to lower overhead and the reliance on dilutive financing.

“With this strategic move, we are focusing our capital and time on our own Web 3 platform and reducing our burn rate,” said Brian Foote, CEO of HUMBL. “The move allows HUMBL to further own its customer journey from start-to-finish across the HUMBL digital wallet, search engine, advertising, social media, ticketing, merchandise and digital collectibles. This decisive split is an integral step towards our goals of driving organic sales revenues, reducing debt and uplisting to a major national exchange.”
