Revenue was $10.7 million in Q3 2024, a 29% decrease from $15.0 million for the three months ending September 30, 2023 ("Q3 2023"), mainly due to the dispositions of Allegient Defense, Inc. ("Allegient") on May 24, 2024, and Seafront Analytics, LLC ("Seafront") on December 31, 2023. Excluding Allegient and Seafront, Q3 2023 revenue was $9.8 million, translating to Q3 2024 year-over-year growth of 9%.

Gross Profit was $5.3 million in Q3 2024 versus $7.5 million in Q3 2023. Excluding the Allegient and Seafront businesses, Q3 2023 gross profit was $5.7 million.

Administrative Expenses decreased by $2.4 million or 38% to $3.9 million in Q3 2024 versus $6.4 million in Q3 2023. Excluding the Allegient and Seafront businesses, Q3 2023 administrative expenses were $5.0 million.

Income from operations increased by 17% to $1.3 million in Q3 2024, compared to $1.1 million in Q3 2023. Excluding the Allegient and Seafront businesses, Q3 2023 income from operations was $0.7 million, translating to Q3 2024 year-over-year income from operations growth of 87%.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 24% to $2.0 million in Q3 2024, compared to $2.7 million in Q3 2023. Excluding the Allegient and Seafront businesses, Adjusted EBITDA was $2.2 million in Q3 2023, translating to a Q3 2024 year-over-year decrease of 8%.

Net Income was $0.6 million in Q3 2024, a 144% increase from $0.2 million in Q3 2023. Excluding the Allegient and Seafront businesses, Q3 2023 has a net loss of $0.2 million, translating to Q3 2024 year-over-year net income growth of 381%. Net income per basic and diluted share of $0.01 in Q3 2024, compared to a net loss per share of $0.00 in Q3 2023.

"Our third quarter results clearly highlight the accelerated progress we've made in executing our One Brand, One Business Integration strategy. Q3 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $2 million, up from $1.5 million in Q2 2024 (excluding the Allegient divestiture) indicates our integration strategy and efficiency focused measures are yielding results. Outstanding credit goes to our operator-first leadership team who have executed this at a faster pace than anticipated," said Sandeep Mendiratta, CEO of NOW. "We have renegotiated acquisition liabilities, leading to meaningful savings and a more favourable payment schedule for those liabilities. Acquisition-related liabilities have been reduced in total by an estimated $5.4 million. Our third quarter has demonstrably put us on a path to achieving our objective of having annual EBITDA of $10 million, by achieving annual revenue of $50 million and a best-in-class 20% EBITDA margin. We believe we now have a platform for sustained organic revenue growth, with strong margins across our core markets. We look forward to discussing these points and more on our third quarter investor call."

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures:

This news release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. The Company's definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this news release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non IFRS financial measures including "EBITDA", and "Adjusted EBITDA". These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on our operational performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and prepare annual budgets and forecasts.

Non-IFRS Measures:

The non-IFRS financial measures referred to in this news release are defined below. The management discussion and analysis for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, available at nowvertical.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, also contains supporting calculations for Adjusted Revenue, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA.

"Adjusted EBITDA" adjusts net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest costs, and provision for income taxes for revenue adjustments in "Adjusted Revenue" and items such as acquisition accounting adjustments, transaction expenses related to acquisitions, transactional gains or losses on assets, asset impairment charges, non-recurring expense items, non-cash stock compensation costs, and the full year impact of cost synergies related to restructuring activities, such as a reduction of employees.

"EBITDA Margin" is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue.

"Adjusted Revenue" adjusts revenue to eliminate the effects of acquisition accounting on the Company's revenues, which predominantly pertain to fair market value adjustments to the opening deferred revenue balances of acquired companies.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release may contain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (within the meaning of applicable securities laws) which reflect the Company's current expectations regarding future events. All statements in this news release that are not purely historical statements of fact are forward-looking statements and include statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations, future, strategy, objectives, goals and targets. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable and reflect expectations of future developments and other factors which management believes to be reasonable and relevant, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "should", "will", "could", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", "believe" or "continue", or the negative thereof or similar variations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause future results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed thereon, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.

All of the forward-looking statement contained in this press release are qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements, and there can be no guarantee that the results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise indicates, the forward-looking statements contained herein are provided as of the date hereof, and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update the forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
