OVERVIEW

Recurring revenue increased 7% to $22.1 million, which was due to 7% growth from acquisitions. Organic Recurring revenue was flat year over year, an improvement compared with a 12% organic decrease in the first quarter. Year-over-year comparisons normalized following the final quarter lapping the previously announced customer contract loss.

Perpetual license revenue increased to $1.3 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.

Total revenue decreased 3% to $29.3 million, as 7% growth from acquisitions was offset by a 10% organic decrease driven by professional services.

Professional services revenue decreased 31% to $5.9 million, reflecting the absence of CoFlow related development funding, which concluded at the end of calendar 2025, and the completion of the wind down of non-core professional services at Bluware.

Professional services revenue decreased both sequentially and year over year, as expected. However, revenue in the quarter benefited from stronger than expected customer demand. As a result, we now expect professional services revenue in the third quarter to be similar to the second quarter. We previously expected the second quarter to be the lowest quarter of the fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 16% to $6.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 22% compared to 25% in the comparative period. The decrease reflects lower professional services revenue, partially offset by growth in software license revenue. Adjusted EBITDA was essentially unchanged from the first quarter, despite prior expectations of a sequential decline. Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was supported by an increase in perpetual licenses and stronger than expected demand for professional services.

Free Cash Flow increased 33% to $2.6 million, driven by lower capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow per share increased to $0.03 from $0.02. Year to date, Free Cash Flow decreased 5% to $6.1 million.

On November 12, 2026, the Company announced the renewal of a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) for its common shares as the Board of Directors of the Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of the common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the business.

The NCIB announced on November 11, 2025, and which will expire on November 13, 2026, resulted in a total of 4,760,700 shares being repurchased and cancelled.

The substantial issuer bid (SIB) announced on August 11, 2026 expired on September 21, 2026. Under the SIB, the Company repurchased and cancelled 4,444,444 common shares at $4.50 per share, for aggregate consideration of $20.0 million. The repurchase was funded from the Company's credit facility. At September 30, 2026, $29.9 million was drawn on the $100 million revolving credit facility, with $70.1 million undrawn.

On October 9, 2026, the Company amended its revolving credit facility, increasing the total committed borrowing capacity from $100 million to $150 million, while also adding a second lender.

In the third quarter, Recurring revenue is expected to increase sequentially from the second quarter driven by a higher renewal cycle in the third quarter relative to the second quarter. Professional services revenue in the third quarter is expected to be similar to the second quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to increase sequentially but decrease compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to lower professional services revenue.

The fourth quarter is expected to be the Company's largest renewal quarter and is expected to deliver the Recurring revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA required to achieve the full-year outlook.

For fiscal 2027, we continue to expect a decline in professional services revenue of between $6-7 million relative to fiscal 2026.

For fiscal 2027, relative to the prior year and excluding the impact of future acquisitions, we continue to expect Organic Recurring revenue to be stable, no decline in Adjusted EBITDA, and improved Free Cash Flow.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin refers to net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, deferred-revenue fair-value adjustment, income and other taxes, stock-based compensation, retirement allowance for senior management, restructuring cost, foreign exchange gains and losses, repayment of lease obligations, asset impairments, other non-recurring expense, acquisition related costs and other expenses directly related to business combinations, including compensation expenses and gains or losses on contingent consideration. Adjusted EBITDA is most directly comparable to IFRS measures operating income, net income, or liquidity but should not be construed as an alternative to such financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is most directly comparable to IFRS measure net income divided by revenue but should not be construed as an alternative thereof. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are amortized, financed or taxed. In addition, management has determined that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a more accurate measurement of the Company's operating performance and our ability to generate earnings as compared to EBITDA and EBITDA Margin.

(1) This is a non-IFRS financial measure. Refer to definition of the measures above.
(2) During the second quarter, the Company experienced a social-engineering fraud that resulted in unauthorized payments totaling $1.0 million. The Company promptly notified the relevant financial institutions, law enforcement authorities, insurers and advisers. To date, the Company has incurred $0.1 million in legal fees related to recovery efforts and has received $0.3 million in insurance proceeds.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 16% and 13% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 respectively compared to the same periods of the previous year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net income during the quarter.

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation to Funds Flow from Operations

Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated as funds flow from operations less capital expenditures and repayment of lease liabilities. Free Cash Flow's most directly comparable IFRS measure is funds flow from operations. Free Cash Flow per share is calculated by dividing Free Cash Flow by the number of weighted average outstanding shares during the period. Management believes that this measure provides useful supplemental information about operating performance and liquidity, as it represents cash generated during the period, regardless of the timing of collection of receivables and payment of payables, which may reduce comparability between periods. Management uses Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow per share to help measure the capacity of the Company to pay dividends and invest in business growth opportunities.

	Fiscal 2025	Fiscal 2026	Fiscal 2027
($ thousands, unless otherwise stated)	Q3	Q4	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	Q1	Q2
Funds flow from operations	9,937		8,227		5,524		3,588		7,068		9,701		4,336		3,352
Capital expenditures	(432	)	(661	)	(542	)	(1,080	)	(723	)	(215	)	(280	)	(151	)

Weighted average shares – basic (thousands)	82,753		83,064		83,090		84,058		82,957		80,511		78,013		75,641
Free Cash Flow per share – basic	0.11		0.08		0.05		0.02		0.07		0.11		0.04		0.03
Funds flow from operations per share – basic	0.12		0.10		0.07		0.04		0.09		0.12		0.06		0.04

Free Cash Flow increased by 33% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year primarily due to lower capital expenditure in the quarter.

Free Cash Flow decreased by 5%, for the six months ended September 30, 2026 from the same periods of the previous fiscal year, primarily due to lower funds flow in the period.

Organic Growth

Organic growth and organic decline are not standardized financial measures and might not be comparable to measures disclosed by other issuers. Organic growth/decline on a quarterly and year-to-date basis is most directly comparable to the IFRS measures revenue and net income. Organic growth/decline includes only businesses under CMG Group's ownership for a year or longer beginning from the first full quarter in the current and comparative period. The Company measures Organic growth/ organic decline on a quarterly and year-to-date basis at the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA levels and includes revenue and Adjusted EBITDA under CMG Group's ownership for a year or longer, beginning from the first full quarter of CMG Group's ownership in the current and comparative period(s). For example, BHV was acquired on September 25, 2023 (Q2 2024). September 25, 2024, marked one full year of ownership under CMG Group and on October 1, 2024 (Q3 2025), which is the first full quarter under CMG Group's ownership in the current and comparative period, started being tracked under Organic growth. Any revenue and Adjusted EBITDA generated by BHV prior to October 1, 2024, would not be included in Organic growth/ organic decline. Sharp was acquired on November 12, 2024 (Q3 2025) and has marked one full year of ownership under CMG Group and hence is included in organic growth/decline from January 1, 2026 (Q4 2026).

SeisWare was acquired on July 30, 2025 and will start contributing to Organic revenue on October 1, 2026. Rose was acquired on March 24, 2026 and will start contributing to Organic revenue on April 1, 2027.

For further clarity, current statements include Organic growth from the following:

• CMG, BHV and Sharp revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
  

Recurring Revenue

Recurring revenue represents the revenue recognized during the period from contracts that are recurring in nature and includes revenue recognized as“Annuity/maintenance licenses” and“Annuity license fee”. We believe that Recurring revenue is an indicator of business expansion and provides management with visibility into our ability to generate predictable cash flows.

The table under“Revenue” heading reconciles Recurring revenue to total revenue for the periods indicated.
