The Company delivered strong year-over-year growth in revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA in both periods, supported by same-store sales growth, contributions from recently added locations and continued execution across its national platform.

Following quarter-end, we completed our acquisition in New Brunswick, further strengthening our Atlantic Canada platform after our recent expansion into Nova Scotia. We believe our centralized operating infrastructure provides a foundation to support continued growth as we expand our integrated device care platform."

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management and investors to analyze the Company's profitability based on the Company's principal business activities regardless of how these activities are financed, assets are depreciated and amortized, and results are taxed in various jurisdictions or subject to entity-specific tax planning. Below is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as a financial measure equal to net income (loss) before finance costs, depreciation and amortization, and income tax provisions. EBITDA is compared to net income (loss), the closest comparable IFRS measure. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding: (1) share-based compensation, as it is a non-cash expense; (2) extraordinary, unusual or infrequent items (including listing and transaction expenses); (3) items related to investing decisions, such as gain (loss) on disposal of assets; (4) items that are not related to core operations and are not indicative of operational performance, including fair value adjustments, interest income, impairment losses and government assistance; and (5) interest on lines of credit and other interest included in operating income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
