Star Metro - iFabric Corp Delivers Record Q3 2025 Revenue of $9.0 Million, up 111% Year-Over-Year

The Company is continuing to advance key customer product launch programs, which are intended to drive sales growth and expanding market reach. Management expects this momentum to continue into year-end and beyond, supported by a healthy order pipeline and ongoing retailer adoption of Company products. As part of this growth phase, iFabric experienced a gross-margin and earnings dip this quarter that it believes to be temporary - reflecting the first-wave impact of U.S. tariffs and up-front costs tied to the rollout of its new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system; however, these transitional items are expected to normalize as announced tariff reductions phase-in and efficiency gains from the ERP implementation are realized.

"Our record quarter underscores how our technology portfolio is effectively resonating with retailer customers and scaling with their major new programs," said Hylton Karon, CEO of iFabric Corp. "We're entering Q4 with strong momentum and clear line-of-sight to carry that strength across FY2026. Even as we invest to support rapid growth, we remain focused on profitable execution, operational excellence, and delivering innovative products that keep iFabric on a compelling upward trajectory," concluded Mr. Karon.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance without the effects of (as applicable): current and deferred tax expense, finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of plant assets, other gains and losses, impairment loss, share-based compensation and other non-recurring items. The Company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and may not optimally represent its core operating performance.
