THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE

KARLA LEWIS

President, CEO and Director of Reliance, Inc.

Reliance engaged Addo twelve years ago and I have worked closely with their team over that time period. They take a true interest in understanding our business and helping us communicate with our investor base. Our market cap has grown considerably over the time we have worked with the Addo team. They are pleasant, respectful and very responsive, evolving with our changing needs.

DAVID WEINBERG

Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Skechers, Inc.

For more than 15 years, Andrew and his team at Addo have been pivotal in driving the success of Skechers’ investor relations efforts. In fact, before founding Addo, Andrew supported Skechers at a national IR firm for five years, and when he launched Addo, we didn’t hesitate to transition the relationship immediately. Their team’s proactive and strategic approach consistently delivers insightful, thoughtful, and unbiased guidance that has been integral to our IR efforts. Since partnering with Andrew and Addo, Skechers’ market cap has surged from $500 million to over $10 billion, and we’ve expanded our coverage to 15 sell-side analysts.

Addo’s strength lies in their deep industry expertise, which they leverage through a transparent, collaborative, and highly personalized approach, ensuring that our visibility with the Street is maximized. Their efforts not only optimize senior management’s time spent on IR commitments but also produce high-quality results. The unwavering dedication of the Addo team and their collaborative approach to our relationship are invaluable to Skechers.

We highly recommend Addo, and always remain available to answer additional questions.

STEVE SCHOCH

CEO of Miramax and CFO of 23andMe

The ADDO team brought fresh insights, based on deep industry knowledge, to our investor and external financial messaging and positioning.

Andrew and his team was client-centric, always available, extremely well-prepared, and highly collaborative with our executives. Our senior management team appreciated both the candor and the efficiency of our interactions with ADDO.

The communications work products from the ADDO team were clear, concise and second-to-none in quality. The programmatic approach to our investor relations and financial comms programs was a big upgrade. With ADDO on-board, we knew that we would have timely, value-added interactions with both investors and the entire financial community.

BRIAN MAGSTADT

CFO & Treasurer of Simpson Manufacturing Co.

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. began a search for a dedicated investor relations firm in 2017 as the company did not have a dedicated IR function either in-house or outsourced. We were introduced to ADDO Investor Relations by another ADDO client due to Simpson’s CEO serving as a board member to that other company and I am very happy and satisfied with the support we have received from ADDO. Andrew, Kim and the team have always been very supportive of Simpson’s investor outreach efforts and have done a tremendous job to professionalize these efforts for Simpson. They have organized all inbound and outbound IR communications, created excellent engagement materials for investor days, earnings calls, and specific transactions, such as our largest acquisition, and provided clear and strategic direction for our approach with our investors and analysts. We collaborate very well with the ADDO team in order to generate a clear and concise set of communication materials, talking points, and potential Q&A for our investor outreach events. ADDO has helped us target new investors and analysts as we have grown our IR function.

ADDO also has coordinated perception studies to gauge the effectiveness of our IR communications, uncover misconceptions of Simpson’s business model and operations, and identify areas of improvement on the company’s messaging. As a result of this work, we have enhanced and improved our outreach materials and continue to receive positive feedback.

They helped us navigate through various situations when we have altered our strategic focuses and worked with management to introduce clear messaging on Simpson’s direction.

In summary, I would highly recommend ADDO Investor Relations. Andrew, Kim, Dean, Avery & Henry do a wonderful job supporting the company’s efforts.
