Star Metro - Pivotree Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / Pivotree Inc. (TSXV:PVT) ("Pivotree" or the "Company"), a leader in frictionless commerce solutions, today reported financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

"Q1 reflects the disciplined transition we expected: solid profitability, positive free cash flow, and our sixth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA," said Bill Di Nardo, CEO of Pivotree. "Client conversations have shifted from 'should we invest in AI?' to 'how do we deploy AI against outcomes on top of our data?' This is where our Real Intelligence (RI) and AI capabilities intersect, and it is reshaping how we pitch, contract, and deliver."

Pivotree also announced today that it has released a letter to shareholders from Bill Di Nardo, CEO. The letter can be accessed from the Company's website at investor.pivotree.com and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

(All figures are in Canadian dollars and all comparisons are relative to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 unless otherwise stated):

• Net income of $0.6 million compared to net income of $0.2 million for the prior year period, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of positive net income.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $1.2 million (8.9% margin), compared to Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $2.0 million (10.3% margin) for the prior year period. The sixth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA demonstrates the durability of operating discipline as the Company transitions its revenue mix toward AI-enabled services.

• Total revenue of $13.9 million, a decline of 27.6% (24.9% in constant currency) versus Q1 2025, driven primarily by the continued planned wind-down of Legacy Managed Services (LMS) and timing delays in Professional Services project starts, partially offset by MIPS growth:

  • Managed and IP Solutions (MIPS) Revenue increased 7.9% to $4.0M in Q1 2026, from $3.7M in Q1 2025, driven by increased transactional SKU volumes delivered to customers. MIPS has now grown year-over-year for two consecutive quarters.

  • Legacy Managed Services (LMS) Revenue declined 52.3% to $2.1M in Q1 2026, from $4.3M in Q1 2025, related to churn and melt of Legacy Oracle customers.

  • Professional Services Revenue of $7.9 million, a decrease of 29.7%. The decline was driven by start-date slippage on a handful of expansion engagements rather than lost business - most affected work has since shifted into Q2 and Q3. A $2.5 million contract, including approximately $800K of MIPS deals, was signed subsequent to quarter-end.

• Gross margin of 47.3% yielding gross profit of $6.6 million, compared to $8.4 million or 44.1% of revenue for the prior year period. The improvement in gross margin percentage reflects continued delivery discipline, automation and early benefits of AI-enabled projects working their way into delivery.

First Quarter 2026 Business Highlights

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

• The Commerce group continued to progress managed services and professional services engagements across its application and integration services. Q1 bookings reflect the contribution of MIPS renewals and shorter-cycle PS extensions, with a number of larger multi-phase implementations delayed in start timing.

• The Data team secured five new logos in Q1 supporting demand for our solutions. The team also secured renewals and extensions in our strategic data solutions and across partner platforms including Syndigo, Stibo, and Precisely.

• Supply Chain booking in Q1 was primarily driven by the expansion and renewal of contracts within the Fluent OMS platform. The post-quarter $2.5M signing mentioned within - encompassing both MIPS and PS components - confirms pipeline conversion is on track.

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 March 31, 2026, 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.
