Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

(All figures are in Canadian dollars and all comparisons are relative to the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 unless otherwise stated):

1. Net income of $2.5 million compared to a net loss of $4.4 million for the prior year period, primarily due to reduced operating expenses as a result of restructure efforts, as well as the gain on sale of intangible assets.

2. Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $1.7 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA¹ of $0.3 million for the prior year period. The continued strength in EBITDA is the result of the improved gross margins and operational expense restructuring that took place during 2024.

3. The business realized sequential quarter growth within Managed and IP Solutions (MIPS) which was offset by unfavourable foreign exchange movement and declines in Legacy Managed Services (LMS) as described below, leading to total revenue of $17.3 million and a 14.7% decline from Q2 2024

   1. Managed and IP Solutions (MIPS) Revenue declined 7.3% to $3.7M in Q2 2025, from $4.0M in Q2 2024, related to a peak in SKU transaction volume in the prior year and returning to more normal levels.

   2. Legacy Managed Services (LMS) Revenue declined 41.3% to $3.0M in Q2 2025, from $5.2M in Q2 2024, related to churn and melt of Legacy Oracle customers.

   3. Professional Services Revenue of $10.5 million, a decrease of 5.0%. These three month ended results contain new customer projects, which helped partially offset completed projects from the prior year.

4. Gross margin improved to 46.2% of total revenue yielding gross profit of $8.0 million, compared to $9.0 million or 44.2% of revenue for the prior year period. Professional service margins were particularly strong, contributing to the overall gross margin improvement.

Second Quarter 2025 Business Highlights

1. Commerce Total Contract Value (TCV) bookings were primarily driven by the extension of existing Professional Services engagements, including significant contracts for Micro Services and Shopify projects. Additionally, Commerce successfully secured several Managed Services support contract extensions during the quarter.

2. Demand in Data remained strong for SKU Build, as well as taxonomy, and schema engagements. The Data team secured four new logos, with potential for future expanded bookings. These new wins include a SKU Build proof of concept, a Data Cleansing engagement, a Data Assessment, and a Control Tower Beta. The Data team also extended existing Professional Service engagements and renewed Managed Hosting, MAS, and FAS contracts.

3. During Q2, the Supply Chain business divested its Warehouse Management operations, allowing for a more focused approach on the Order Management practice. TCV bookings in Q2 benefited from extensions and renewals for both Sterling OMS and Fluent platforms.

Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the technology industry. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures and technology metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures, including technology industry metrics, in the evaluation of companies in the technology industry. Management also uses non-IFRS measures and technology industry metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, the preparation of annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. The non-IFRS measures and technology industry metrics referred to in this press release include "Total Contract Value Booking", "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA". ​​Additional details for these non-IFRS and other financial measures can be found under the heading "Key Performance Indicators" in our MD&A for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com, which includes explanations of the composition and usefulness of these non-IFRS financial measures and is incorporated by reference in this press release.
