OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 13, 2026 /CNW/ -- Martello Technologies Group Inc., ("Martello" or the "Company") (TSXV: MTLO), a provider of experience monitoring solutions for unified communications and collaboration (UCC) systems, today released financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

"As we closed the first quarter of FY27, Martello continued to build on the progress achieved through our FY26 transformation", said Jim Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Martello. "With improved profitability and positive operating cash flow providing a strengthened financial position and continued progress on our strategic priorities, we believe Martello is well positioned to invest in future growth opportunities. During the quarter, we successfully negotiated and implemented improved commercial terms for certain Mitel Performance Analytics offerings, reflecting the value MPA delivers within the Mitel ecosystem. We also advanced additional Mitel growth initiatives and refined our innovation strategy through extensive partner and industry engagement. We remain focused on building long-term shareholder value through disciplined execution, targeted growth investments and continued operational efficiency".

"The first quarter of FY27 reflected continued momentum in Martello's strategic relationship with Mitel," said Terence Matthews, Chairman of Martello. "The implementation of improved commercial terms, ongoing product innovation and joint efforts to expand the market opportunity for Mitel Performance Analytics demonstrate the strength of the partnership. We are encouraged by the engagement we have seen from Mitel partners and customers and believe these initiatives create a foundation for future growth."

Q1 FY27 Financial Highlights

• Revenue was $2.87M in Q1 FY27, representing a 7% decrease compared to $3.09M in the same period of the prior year. The decline was primarily due to lower renewal rates on sunsetting legacy product offerings which was partially offset by an increase in Mitel segment revenue.  
• Sunsetting legacy product revenue declined by 30% or $0.31M in Q1 FY27 compared to Q1 FY26. The ongoing decline of legacy product revenue is proceeding as expected.
• Revenue from the Mitel business segment increased by 9% to $1.64M in Q1 FY27 compared to $1.50M in the same period of the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to an expected shift in the revenue mix from various MPA offerings that is now stabilizing. As Mitel and Martello negotiate a new contract, the companies are exploring new go-to-market models that represent potential mutual growth opportunities. The Mitel business continues to be a significant source of revenue and gross margin, representing 57% of total revenues in Q1 FY27 compared to 49% in Q1 FY26. Gross margin in the Mitel business segment remained strong and consistent at 97% in Q1 FY27 (compared to 96% in Q1 FY26).
• 99% of total revenues were recurring in Q1 FY27, consistent with the same period in the prior year.
• Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) totaled $0.95M in Q1 FY27, representing a decrease of $0.07M (6.8%) compared to $1.02M in Q1 FY26. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower renewal activity across legacy sales contracts. This was offset by slight growth in the Mitel segment, driven by an increase in the fees paid by Mitel for certain Mitel Performance Analytics (MPA) offerings.
• Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 88.8% in Q1 FY27 compared to 85.1% in Q1 FY26. This improvement is attributable to the decrease in cost of goods sold in the Modern Workplace Optimization (MWO) segment in connection with the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26.
• Operating expenses for Q1 FY27 decreased by 61% to $1.75M from $4.53M in Q1 FY26, primarily due to a decrease in headcount in connection with the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26, as well as the write-off of intangible assets in the MWO segment in Q2 FY26, which eliminated the amortization expense in Q1 FY27.
• Other expense increased to $0.41M in Q1 FY27 from $0.23M in Q1 FY26, primarily due to lower foreign exchange gains offsetting interest expense on the Company's loan, which represented the largest component of other expense in both periods. Foreign exchange gains were $0.03M in Q1 FY27 compared to $0.20M in Q1 FY26.
• Income from operations was $0.80M in Q1 FY27 compared to a loss of $1.90M in the same period of FY26. This improvement is attributable to lower operating expenses partially offset by lower revenue as discussed above. 
• Net income for Q1 FY27 was $0.39M, compared to a loss of $2.13M in Q1 FY26, representing an increase of $2.52M. Stronger profitability in Q1 FY27 reflects the changes discussed above, partially offset by lower foreign exchange gains.
• EBITDA in Q1 FY27 improved to positive $0.87M, compared to a loss of $1.16M in Q1 FY26, primarily driven by lower headcount and vendor costs following the operational restructuring.
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) reached positive $0.88M in Q1 FY27, a meaningful turnaround from a loss of $1.19M in Q1 FY26, driven by the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26 and disciplined financial management.
