Words from the Executive Chairman and from the President & CEO
“Our two-year transformation program –Savaria One – finished at the end of 2025 and our goals were largely met. Our revenue grew to $914 million and adjusted EBITDA finished at $186 million, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.4%. But even more important are the investments we made in people, processes, and products, because these improvements brought cultural change and provide us long-term benefits. Our employees have adopted new, best practices to their daily life. By embracing the initiatives that comprised Savaria One, they continue to work on making improvements across virtually all areas of the company. I couldn’t be happier and prouder of our employees for their great contributions to our success over the past two years. They have surely provided us a deeply rooted foundation for future growth,” said Marcel Bourassa, Executive Chairman.
“Our fourth quarter results delivered a number of “bests” for Savaria, including the title as our “best quarter ever”. We also delivered our best revenue growth quarter for Accessibility in Europe at 9%, and a solid 10% growth in revenue in our Patient Care segment. This resulted in an overall best quarter for adjusted EBITDA per share of $0.71. Beyond that, our good results helped us reduce our net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio to 1.03, giving us ample room for strategic acquisitions. Operationally, we have several hundred process improvement initiatives ongoing. Even though we faced some threats of trade issues in 2025, we forged ahead and worked our plan. We move into 2026 with a stronger team than ever,” said Sébastien Bourassa, President and CEO.

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
The information appearing in this press release has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. However, Savaria uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA per share, adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per share, available funds, net debt and ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA for analysis purposes to measure its financial performance. These measures have no standardized definitions in accordance with IFRS and are therefore regarded as non-IFRS measures. These measures may therefore not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

It is important to know that the forward-looking statements in this document describe the Corporation’s expectations as at the date hereof, which are not guarantees of future performance of Savaria or its industry, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause Savaria’s or the industry’s outlook, actual results or performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such statements. The Corporation’s actual results could be materially different from its expectations if known or unknown risks affect its business, or if its estimates or assumptions turn out to be inaccurate.
A change affecting an assumption can also have an impact on other interrelated assumptions, which could increase or diminish the effect of the change. As a result, the Corporation cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize and, accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
