Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights ($ presented in thousands)

Consolidated highlights

• Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $107.0 million, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 8%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $215.3 million and $232.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $16.8 million, or 7%. The decrease was primarily driven by a combination of market downturn and the impact of lower volumes and pricing from both the loss of customers and contract renewal terms affecting practice management and data insights platforms, partially offset by growth in Banking Technology and Affinity.
• Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $21.8 million, compared to a net loss of $19.7 million for the equivalent period in the prior year. Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was $60.1 million, compared to a net loss of $35.0 million for the equivalent period in the prior year. The greater loss was primarily driven by lower revenue, higher operating expenses, and the stock based compensation reversal in the prior periods partially offset by lower interest costs, lower amortization and lower acquisition, restructuring and other costs.
• Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $33.6 million, compared to $15.6 million for the equivalent period in the prior year. The year over year improvement in cash flow from operations was driven by lower financing costs, lower taxes paid, and improvements in working capital.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $50.4 million, a decrease of $14.3 million, or 22%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $100.8 million and $132.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $31.4 million, or 24%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was driven by revenue impacts described above, strategic reinvestments necessary to stabilize the business, predominantly labour and IT infrastructure, and a lower capitalization rate as the Company temporarily shifted certain expenditures from capitalized projects to maintenance expense.
• The Company was in compliance with the financial maintenance covenant under its senior credit agreement with respect to the three months ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, the Company had drawn $61.5 million on the revolving credit facility and the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the senior credit agreement) was approximately 4.98x.

Quarterly Dividend

As previously disclosed in the Company’s press release dated February 2, 2026, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board“) is continuing to assess the Company’s approach with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends on the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares and has deferred a decision regarding the declaration and payment of dividends until the Board completes a review of the Company’s strategic plan, which is expected to occur during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026. Accordingly, at this time the Board has not declared a dividend with respect to the three-month period ended December 31, 2025. The Board intends to provide an update as to its intended go-forward dividend policy in conjunction with the Company’s release of its strategic plan.

Conference Call Notification

As previously disclosed, the Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time during which senior management will discuss the Company’s financial performance for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025. A question-and-answer session for research analysts will follow the corporate update.

Non-IFRS Measures

¹ Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. This measure is not a recognized measure under IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures, namely, “Adjusted EBITDA”, to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Specifically, the Company believes that the aforementioned non-IFRS financial measure, when viewed with the Company’s results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods and acquisition, restructuring, impairment and other charges such as acquisition, listing and reorganization related expenses, integration expenses and corporate cost allocations, the Company believes that the non-IFRS financial measures included herein can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated.

Below is the Company’s definition of the non-IFRS measure used herein:

“Adjusted EBITDA” adjusts net loss by adding back financing costs, amortization, depreciation and impairment costs, income tax expense (recovery), stock-based compensation expense (recovery), loss (gain) on contingent receivables and assets held for sale, specific transaction-related expenses related to acquisition and reorganization related expenses, integration and operational restructuring costs and other non-recurring expenses. Operational restructuring costs are incurred as a direct or indirect result of acquisition activities.
