Jeff Morgan, AmeriTrust's CEO, commented:

"2025 marked a foundational year for AmeriTrust. The progress we made throughout the year significantly strengthened our platform, balance sheet, and organizational readiness, positioning the Company for what we believe will be a sustained period of growth.

During the year, we enhanced our proprietary leasing technology platform, including the integration of AI‑enabled functionality to improve credit risk assessment, automate underwriting and decisioning processes, and strengthen predictive analytics. We broadened access to U.S. investors through our listing on the OTCQB market, resolved multiple legacy corporate and legal matters, and expanded our management and operational teams to support scalable growth.

We also established three dedicated operating subsidiaries-AmeriTrust Financial, AmeriTrust Serves, and AmeriTrust Auto-to better align our business lines and execution strategy. In addition, we welcomed new shareholders and raised nearly $40 million to support the start of AmeriTrust lease originations, while securing a revolving line of credit with the Bank of Texas to further strengthen our liquidity position.

Entering 2026, we have commenced lease originations and are actively onboarding new dealers nationwide, while educating them on AmeriTrust's financing solutions. We have increased brand and market awareness through targeted social media outreach, participation in a leasing industry conference, and coverage across automotive publications and podcasts. With our technology, capital, and operating infrastructure now in place, we believe 2026 will be a defining year for AmeriTrust and its shareholders."

Non-IFRS Measures:

This news release makes reference to "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBIDTA" which are non-IFRS financial measures. The Company believes that these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business. Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company's performance, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance withIFRS. Moreover, presentation of certain of these measures is provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of the adjustments thereto provided herein have an actual effect on the Company's operating results.

"EBITDA" is defined as Earnings before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortization. Management believes this is a useful metric in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of the Company.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as Earnings before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation, Amortization, Share Based Compensation expense, Provision for expected credit loss on lease contracts and revision to the provision, foreign exchange loss, and other one-time costs is an additional measure used by management to evaluate cash flows and the Company's ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income (loss) in measuring the Company's performance.
