"By combining machine learning-powered vehicle detection, real-time data, and cloud technology, we're helping agencies deliver safer, faster, and more reliable travel for every driver while creating a smarter, more adaptable tolling system for the state."

Key enhancements of the Next Generation Toll Lane System include:

  • Machine Learning & Automation – Machine learning and advanced sensors for highly accurate automated vehicle detection, classification and trip building.
  • Cloud Migration – Modern, secure back-office infrastructure enabling scalable operations and simplified maintenance.
  • Dynamic Pricing – Express lane tolls that automatically adjust based on live traffic conditions to maintain free-flow speeds.
  • Upgraded Readers & Cameras – High-definition imaging and sensor technology for precise, real-time monitoring.

This initiative reinforces Quarterhill's commitment to helping agencies modernize tolling infrastructure, reduce congestion, and improve roadway safety.

Gross Margin Expansion and Positive Adjusted EBITDA Highlight Q3 Progress

Quarterhill Demonstrates Strong Improvement in Profitability and Operational Execution

TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading provider of tolling and enforcement solutions in the Intelligent Transportation System ("ITS") industry, announces its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. All financial information in this press release is reported in United States ("US") dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Quarterhill delivered another quarter of significant progress in its turnaround strategy, achieving substantial gross margin expansion, positive Adjusted EBITDA and positive operating cash flow. The Company also continued to strengthen its balance sheet while advancing its multi-year plan to drive sustained profitability and margin growth across its business units.

Q3 2025 Highlights

  • Revenue for Q3 2025 was $39.7 million, up from $38.0 million in Q3 2024.
  • Gross margin1 percentage for Q3 2025 improved to 26%, compared to 13% in Q3 2024.
  • Cash generated from operations for Q3 2025 was $6.4 million, up significantly compared to cash used in operations of $1.7 million in Q3 2024.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $24.1 million at September 30, 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 for Q3 2025 was $1.4 million, an improvement compared to ($2.8) million in Q3 2024, marking the Company's first positive Adjusted EBITDA quarter since Q4 2024.
  • Revenue backlog3 was $427 million at September 30, 2025.
  • Restructuring announced in July expected to yield annualized savings of approximately $12 million.

"Q3 marks an important inflection point for Quarterhill," said Chuck Myers, CEO at Quarterhill. "We're beginning to see the results of our turnaround take hold, reflected in significant margin expansion, positive Adjusted EBITDA and strong cash generation. Gross margin improved to 26%, our highest level in more than two years, as we delivered better project execution, disciplined cost management and a more profitable revenue mix."

"Our Safety & Enforcement unit continues to perform exceptionally well, delivering gross margins above 40%, while our Tolling business is benefiting from restructuring actions and improved contract terms. With a robust $427 million revenue backlog3, a roughly $2 billion pipeline, and a strengthened balance sheet, we're now focused on accelerating growth and expanding profitability as we position Quarterhill as a leading, technology-driven ITS platform company."

Q3 2025 and Year-to-Date Financial Review
Quarterhill's Management's Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are available at the Company's website and at its profile at SEDAR+.

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $39.7 million and $116.7 million compared to $38.0 million and $114.4 million in the same periods last year. The increase in revenue for Q3 was due to growth in both the Company's tolling and safety and enforcement business units, while the increase for the year-to-date period was due to growth in the safety and enforcement unit.

Gross profit1 as a value and as a percentage of revenues may be subject to significant variance in each reporting period due to the nature and type of contract and service work performed and currency volatility. Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $10.5 million and $20.7 million, or 26% and 18%, as compared to $5.1 million and $20.0 million, or 13% and 17%, in the same periods last year. The increase for Q3 and the year-to-date period was primarily due to the restructuring, improved margins on certain tolling contracts and continued strong margin performance from the safety and enforcement unit.

Total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"), research and development ("R&D") costs, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and other charges. Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $13.7 million and $37.8 million compared to $11.3 million and $32.5 million in the same periods last year. The increase for Q3 is primarily due to higher costs related to stock-based compensation, recruitment, technical consulting, facilities, R&D and other charges. The increase for the year-to-date period is due to similar factors, offset, in part, by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses and certain other charges.

Adjusted EBITDA2 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $1.4 million and ($4.7) million compared to ($2.8) million and ($0.9) million in the same periods last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 for Q3 was primarily due to the factors impacting revenue, gross margin and expenses, as previously described.  

Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was ($4.7) million and ($19.9) million, or ($0.04) and ($0.17) per diluted share, compared to net losses of ($4.1) million and ($11.3) million, or ($0.04) and ($0.10) per diluted share, in the same periods last year.

Cash generated from (used in) operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $6.4 million and ($1.7) million compared to cash used in operations of ($1.7) million and ($11.0) million in the same periods last year. Cash and cash equivalents were $24.1 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $22.7 million at June 30, 2025, and $31.9 million at December 31, 2024. The Company made long-term debt repayments of $3.1 million in Q3.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Non-IFRS Ratios
Quarterhill uses both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures to assess performance. Non-IFRS financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of a company, (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the company, (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-IFRS ratios are financial measures disclosed by a company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company.

These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS, and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition, and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA - Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We use the non-IFRS financial measure "Adjusted EBITDA" to mean net loss adjusted for (i) income taxes, (ii) finance expense or income; (iii) amortization and impairment of intangibles; (iv) other charges and other one-time items; (v) depreciation of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment; (vi) stock-based compensation; (vii) foreign exchange (gain) loss ; (viii) other (income) expense; and (ix) changes in fair value of derivative liability. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to assess our normalized cash generated on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also a performance measure that may be used by investors to analyze the cash generated by Quarterhill. Adjusted EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to net income (loss) and cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as measure of liquidity. The most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is net income (loss). See Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA below.

Adjusted EBITDA per share – Non-IFRS Ratio

Adjusted EBITDA per share is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the basic weighted average of common shares. Adjusted EBITDA per share is used by our management and investors to analyze cash generated by Quarterhill on a per share basis. The most comparable IFRS measure is earnings per share. See Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA below.

Backlog - Non-IFRS Financial Measure

We use the non-IFRS measure "backlog" to mean the total value of work that has not yet been completed but that in management's experience of similar situations has: (a) a high certainty of being performed pursuant to existing contracts or work orders specifying job scope, value and timing; (b) an expectation of expansion of existing contracts due to expected extensions; and/or (c) been awarded to one or more of our ITS operating subsidiaries as evidenced by a binding contract or where the finalization of a binding contract is reasonably assured. Activities under such contracts may cover a period of up to 15 years. We do not include in "backlog" the value of any expected but unsigned change orders that management considers may apply to such contracts.

Supplementary Financial Measures
Supplementary financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) are, or are intended to be, disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of a company, (b) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, (c) are not non-IFRS financial measures, and (d) are not non-IFRS ratios. Key supplementary measures disclosed are as follows:

Gross margin %
Calculated as gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

‎Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon assumptions ‎which management of the Company believes to be reasonable, the Company cannot assure investors ‎that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. With respect to forward-‎looking statements contained in this news release, the Company has made assumptions regarding, but ‎not limited to: the Company's ability to execute on its business plan; successful integration of acquisitions; general economic and industry trends; operating assumptions relating to the ‎Company's operations; demand for the Company's products and services; cost estimates for fixed price contracts; successful renegotiation of our tolling contracts on terms acceptable and favourable to the Company; and the other assumptions set forth in the ‎Company's most recent annual information form available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ ‎at www.sedarplus.ca.‎

The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking ‎statements, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors ‎including, but not limited to: changes in demand for the Company's products and services; general economic, ‎political, market and business conditions, including fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, ‎stock market volatility; reliance on key management personnel; risks related to competition within the Company's industry and relating to technological advances; litigation risks; cyber-security risks; fixed price contracts may result in unexpected costs to the Company; risks of health epidemics, pandemics and similar ‎outbreaks; the tolling contracts not successfully being renegotiated on terms acceptable or favourable to the Company, or at all; and the other risks set forth in the Company's most recent annual information form ‎and management's discussion and analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.‎

The Company's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those ‎expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be ‎given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if ‎any of them do so, what benefits the Company will derive therefrom.

Quarterhill will supply the WIM system for the Brussels-Capital Region weigh station, which will be used to pre-select overloaded vehicles for enforcement. The dynamic weighing station will promote and improve the efficiency of inspections by screening vehicles at highway speeds in advance of the law enforcement inspection site. In addition, the weigh station will generate data that provides an accurate, real-time picture of the vehicles on the E19 highway.

The system's goal is to reduce the number of overloaded vehicles on the Brussels Region's roads. Overloading causes many problems, such as rapid road deterioration, more serious accidents, and unfair competition between transport companies. Quarterhill's technology mitigates these issues by screening for overweight vehicles while optimizing the use of enforcement resources.

"We are excited at the prospect of introducing our advanced enforcement technology to Brussels Mobility and expanding our presence in Europe," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "Together with Jacops, we will deploy a state-of-the-art high-speed WIM system that will make Belgian roads safer and more sustainable. We have a longstanding relationship with Jacops as a customer for our microwave sensor products, and this project demonstrates how having a broad portfolio of traffic technologies and established relationships with traffic system integrators leads to further opportunities."

The weigh station will monitor four lanes of one-way traffic on the highway and record data on vehicle classification and vehicle tax without impeding traffic. An overview camera provides images to help enforcement personnel clearly identify vehicles flagged by the system. An Automated Number Plate Reader system will photograph, recognize, store, process, and transmit the number plates of vehicles approaching the dynamic weighing station.

Quarterhill's iSINC WIM controller was selected for the project as it offers preselection of overweight vehicles, creates comprehensive vehicle records, classifies vehicles, and meets the desired standards for continual uptime monitoring and ease of service. iSINC's versatility allows it to control a wide array of sensors, cameras, dimensioning systems, communication systems, and custom equipment.

WIM sensors that comply with the accuracies outlined in the Nmi International WIM standard Specification and test procedures for WIM Systems will be installed at the site. The WIM sensors meet the lane width specifications and provide high durability, stable output over time, and IP68 water resistance.

Quarterhill will advise Jacops on the design and placement of the WIM system components to ensure optimal operation, including onsite technical support for installation, testing, and initial calibration. Quarterhill will also provide Jacops with thorough training on the WIM components and system calibration. Over the 2-year warranty period, Quarterhill will provide remote diagnostics and technical support to ensure continuous uptime and optimal performance.

"This project shows that Quarterhill's technology is well suited to the precise needs of European agencies. We are set to elevate road safety and integrity in the region, reinforcing our expanding footprint in this important market," stated Heimo Haub, Managing Director, Quarterhill Europe.

  • Quarterhill subsidiary IRD will install Weigh-In-Motion technology at 28 sites on various Interstate and State Routes.
  • The sites will collect vehicle data related to road infrastructure protection and monitor commercial vehicle routes to improve highway safety.

SASKATOON, SK, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading provider of tolling and enforcement solutions in the Intelligent Transportation System ("ITS") industry, announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, International Road Dynamics Inc. ("IRD"), has been awarded a $5.3 million contract by the Tennessee Department of Transportation ("TDOT") to install Weigh-In-Motion ("WIM") systems at 28 sites on interstate and state routes across Tennessee. Installation is expected to be completed in May 2025. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars.

TDOT is promoting the advancement of WIM in the state through the development of a statewide WIM program. The WIM systems will capture and record axle weights and gross vehicle weights as vehicles drive over the measurement sites at highway speeds. The sites will provide data on commercial vehicle characteristics in certain transit corridors for asset management and design improvements.

Some of the WIM sites are co-located with enforcement sites operated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, who will integrate their commercial vehicle inspection program with the WIM data. In addition to collecting data, the WIM systems will be able to determine if trucks are overloaded so they can be routed to inspection stations for ticketing, thus cutting down on excessive highway wear-and-tear and the number of unsafe vehicles on the road. There is also the potential for future upgrades of the sites with E-screening technology to automate the evaluation of driver and trucking company safety ratings, resulting in enhanced enforcement capabilities and further improvements to highway safety.

"We are pleased to collaborate with TDOT on this project to elevate highway safety and efficiency in Tennessee," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "The deployment of advanced WIM systems will provide vital data to facilitate effective enforcement, enhance asset management, and significantly improve the safety of Tennessee's highways. This project is our first major initiative in Tennessee, and we look forward to exploring opportunities to expand our footprint further in the State."

Quarterhill Announces $40 Million Renewal Contract to Upgrade Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) I-580 Express Lanes
January 6, 2025

  • Alameda CTC's fully electronic express lanes increase the efficiency of the I-580 and I-680 corridors by giving drivers the option to bypass congested traffic segments under certain conditions.
  • Upgrading the I-580 system will create a single, unified platform for Alameda CTC and solidify Quarterhill as its sole Express Lane vendor through 2032.

TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a global leader in providing intelligent transportation system solutions, announced today that has been awarded a contract valued at $40 million to upgrade the Alameda County Transportation Commission ("Alameda CTC") I-580 Express Lanes. The project will be implemented over 17 months and includes seven (7) years of operations and maintenance. The contract provides Alameda CTC with the option to procure up to four (4) additional years of operations and maintenance at an additional cost of $15 million. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars.

The Alameda CTC I-580 express lanes are specially designated highway lanes designed to improve travel times and alleviate traffic congestion across Alameda County. These lanes enable a more reliable traveling experience for commuters and travelers in the county by providing an option to bypass congested traffic segments under certain conditions. Express lanes help in managing and mitigating traffic congestion, directly benefiting not just the users of these lanes but also potentially improving conditions in the general-purpose lanes. The I-580 Express Lanes span approximately 10 miles from Hacienda Drive in Pleasanton to Greenville Road in Livermore in the eastbound direction and approximately 12 miles from Greenville Road to just before the I-680 overpass in Dublin in the westbound direction.

Under this contract, Quarterhill will upgrade I-580 Express Lanes onto the same technology infrastructure that underlies the I-680 Express Lanes operations. The project ensures compatibility with recent system replacements at the Alameda CTC I-680 Express Lane facilities, which implemented Quarterhill's riteSuite™ to improve mobility and alleviate congestion along the corridor. riteSuite is an updated family of cloud-based, end-to-end tolling and mobility systems built on mainstream open-source platforms for flexible deployment to support transportation growth throughout the region.

The express lane consolidation focuses on streamlining operational processes and applying consistent business rules across Alameda CTC's operations. It also addresses the legacy system's increasing operational exposures and maintenance risks by updating technical equipment, including sign upgrades to accommodate changes to road segments, and decommissioning and replacing outdated roadside equipment. With this project, Quarterhill is positioned as Alameda CTC's sole Express Lane Electronic Toll Collection System provider until 2032, with potential extensions until 2036, emphasizing a long-term commitment to enhancing Alameda County's transportation infrastructure.

"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with the Alameda CTC through this significant upgrade of the Express Lanes," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "This upgrade project not only demonstrates Quarterhill's commitment to innovation but also solidifies our position as Alameda CTC's unified provider for electronic tolling solutions. This initiative will streamline operations, ensure uniformity in the application of business rules across Alameda CTC's network, and provide greater maintenance efficiency. We believe this is a pivotal step forward in enhancing customer experience and are proud to play a crucial role in modernizing Alameda County's transportation infrastructure."

("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading provider of tolling and enforcement solutions in the Intelligent Transportation System ("ITS") industry, announces its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. All financial information in this press release is reported in United States ("US") dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Q2 2025 Highlights

  • Revenue for Q2 2025 was $43.1 million compared to $41.5 million in Q2 2024.
  • Net loss for Q2 2025 was ($6.8) million compared to ($3.0) million in Q2 2024.
  • Cash used in operations for Q2 2025 was ($4.6) million compared to cash generated from operations of $0.8 million Q2 2024.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $22.7 million at June 30, 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 for Q2 2025 was ($2.7) million compared to $1.7 million in Q2 2024.
  • Revenue backlog3 was $463 million at June 30, 2025.
  • Appointed David Charron as Chief Financial Officer.
  • Appointed Darren Learmonth as Chief Technology Officer, subsequent to quarter end.
  • On July 24, 2025, announced a restructuring that is expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $12 million.

"Q2 revenue of $43.1 million grew 4% year-over-year, driven by continued strong performance from our safety and enforcement unit, which delivered solid growth and margins," said Chuck Myers, CEO at Quarterhill.

Mr. Myers added: "We are taking decisive action through a four-point plan to strengthen the business. One, our restructuring announced on July 24th will generate approximately $12 million in annualized savings starting in Q3 2025. Two, we've made meaningful progress on one of the tolling contracts previously disclosed as under renegotiation, reducing costs related to the project and agreeing to enter a mediation process that's expected to begin by the end of the month. Three, we continue to win and pursue higher-margin business while four, we're investing in our next-generation technology platform. These targeted actions are designed to achieve sustainable operating profitability and enhance our financial performance."

"While our turnaround continues, we're making tangible progress and building a stronger, more resilient business," Mr. Myers concluded. "With new leadership in place at the board and management level, we're optimistic that executing our plan will drive top-line growth, margin expansion, positive cash flow and shareholder value creation."

Q2 2025 and Year-to-Date Financial Review
Quarterhill's Management's Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are available at the Company's website and at its profile at SEDAR+.

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were $43.1 million and $77.0 million compared to $41.5 million and $76.4 million in the same periods last year. The increase in revenue for Q2 and the year-to-date period is primarily due to growth in the Company's safety and enforcement business unit, offset, in part, by the timing of revenues received from certain tolling contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the two tolling contracts that are being renegotiated contributed $2.8 million and $6.5 million to revenue.

Gross profit2 as a value and as a percentage of revenues may be subject to significant variance in each reporting period due to the nature and type of contract and service work performed and currency volatility. Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was $6.3 million and $10.3 million, or 15% and 13%, as compared to $8.5 million and $14.9 million, or 21% and 19%, in the same periods last year. The decrease for Q2 and the year-to-date period was primarily due to cost overruns on two tolling projects, and offset, in part, by continued strong margin performance from the safety and enforcement unit.

Total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"), research and development ("R&D") costs, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and other charges. Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were $12.9 million and $24.1 million compared to $10.8 million and $21.2 million in the same periods last year. The increase for Q2 and the year-to-date period is primarily due to recruitment, technical consulting and facilities expenses, which were offset, in part, by a decrease in amortization expense and other charges.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was ($2.7) million and ($6.1) million compared to $1.7 million and $1.8 million in the same periods last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA1 for Q2 and the year-to-date period was due to the factors impacting gross margin and expenses, as previously described. The two tolling contracts that are being renegotiated resulted in a reduction to Adjusted EBITDA1 of ($3.9) million in Q2 and ($7.1) million in the year-to-date period.

Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was ($6.8) million and ($15.2) million, or ($0.06) and ($0.13) per diluted share, compared to net losses of ($3.0) million and ($7.2) million, or ($0.03) and ($0.06) per diluted share, in the same periods last year.

Cash used in operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was ($4.6) million and ($8.2) million compared to $0.8 million and ($9.3) million in the same periods last year. Cash and cash equivalents were $22.7 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $31.9 million at December 31, 2024.

At quarter end, Quarterhill's long-term debt was reclassified to current liabilities as the Company was not in compliance with its financial covenants at June 30, 2025. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company finalized an amendment to its credit agreement that provides it with additional financial flexibility and a waiver to its covenants to September 30, 2025. More details can be found in the Company's Q2 2025 MD&A.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Non-IFRS Ratios
Quarterhill uses both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures to assess performance. Non-IFRS financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of a company, (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the company, (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-IFRS ratios are financial measures disclosed by a company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company.

These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS, and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition, and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA - Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We use the non-IFRS financial measure "Adjusted EBITDA" to mean net loss adjusted for (i) income taxes, (ii) finance expense or income; (iii) amortization and impairment of intangibles; (iv) other charges and other one-time items; (v) depreciation of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment; (vi) stock-based compensation; (vii) foreign exchange loss (gain); (viii) other (income) expense; and (ix) changes in fair value of derivative liability. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to assess our normalized cash generated on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also a performance measure that may be used by investors to analyze the cash generated by Quarterhill. Adjusted EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to net income (loss) and cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as measure of liquidity. The most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is net income (loss). See Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA below.

Adjusted EBITDA per share – Non-IFRS Ratio

Adjusted EBITDA per share is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the basic weighted average of common shares. Adjusted EBITDA per share is used by our management and investors to analyze cash generated by Quarterhill on a per share basis. The most comparable IFRS measure is earnings per share. See Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA below.

Backlog - Non-IFRS Financial Measure

We use the non-IFRS measure "backlog" to mean the total value of work that has not yet been completed but that in management's experience of similar situations has: (a) a high certainty of being performed pursuant to existing contracts or work orders specifying job scope, value and timing; (b) an expectation of expansion of existing contracts due to expected extensions; and/or (c) been awarded to one or more of our ITS operating subsidiaries as evidenced by a binding contract or where the finalization of a binding contract is reasonably assured. Activities under such contracts may cover a period of up to 15 years. We do not include in "backlog" the value of any expected but unsigned change orders that management considers may apply to such contracts.

Supplementary Financial Measures
Supplementary financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) are, or are intended to be, disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of a company, (b) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, (c) are not non-IFRS financial measures, and (d) are not non-IFRS ratios. Key supplementary measures disclosed are as follows:

Gross margin %
Calculated as gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Forward-looking Information
This news release contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements") regarding Quarterhill, its operating subsidiaries and their respective businesses. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events, conditions or future financial performance of ‎Quarterhill based on future economic conditions and courses of action. All statements other ‎than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements ‎are often, but not always, identified by the use of any words such as "seek", "anticipate", "budget", ‎‎"plan", "goal", and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, assumptions, ‎uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those ‎anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Company believes the expectations reflected in ‎those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations ‎will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news release should not be ‎unduly relied upon.‎ In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, but not limited to, the ‎following: operational and financial expectations for the 2025 financial year, including revenue, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA expectations; the Company's business plan and strategy, and outcomes thereof; the outcome of renegotiation efforts and mediation relating to our tolling contracts; the impact of contract renegotiation on our financial performance; the results of operational enhancements and technology investment by the Company; the anticipated cost savings from the restructuring; the Company's ability and path to achieve revenue growth, margin expansion and positive cash flow; and the impact of the Company's workforce reduction on the Company's operations, financial position and results.

‎Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon assumptions ‎which management of the Company believes to be reasonable, the Company cannot assure investors ‎that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. With respect to forward-‎looking statements contained in this news release, the Company has made assumptions regarding, but ‎not limited to: the Company's ability to execute on its business plan; successful integration of acquisitions; general economic and industry trends; operating assumptions relating to the ‎Company's operations; demand for the Company's products and services; cost estimates for fixed price contracts; successful renegotiation of our tolling contracts on terms acceptable and favourable to the Company; and the other assumptions set forth in the ‎Company's most recent annual information form available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ ‎at www.sedarplus.ca.‎

The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking ‎statements, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors ‎including, but not limited to: changes in demand for the Company's products and services; general economic, ‎political, market and business conditions, including fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, ‎stock market volatility; reliance on key management personnel; risks related to competition within the Company's industry and relating to technological advances; litigation risks; cyber-security risks; fixed price contracts may result in unexpected costs to the Company; risks of health epidemics, pandemics and similar ‎outbreaks; the tolling contracts not successfully being renegotiated on terms acceptable or favourable to the Company, or at all; and the other risks set forth in the Company's most recent annual information form ‎and management's discussion and analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.‎

The Company's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those ‎expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be ‎given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if ‎any of them do so, what benefits the Company will derive therefrom. Readers are therefore cautioned ‎that the foregoing lists of important factors are not exhaustive, and they should not unduly rely on the ‎forward-looking statements included in this news release. All forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly ‎qualified by this cautionary statement. Quarterhill has no intention, and undertakes no obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

This news release contains "future-oriented financial information" and "financial outlooks" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, "FOFI"), including about the financial results, revenue, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA of Quarterhill for the year ended December 31, 2025. FOFI, as with forward-looking ‎statements ‎generally, are, without limitation, based on the assumptions and qualifications, and are subject to the risks set out ‎above in respect of forward-looking statements. Quarterhill's actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from ‎management's ‎current expectations and, as a result, the Company's financial results may differ ‎materially from ‎the FOFI provided in this news release. The Company and its management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments and the FOFI contained in this news release was approved by management as of the date hereof, for purposes of providing further information about the Company's future business operations and results. However, because this information is subjective and subject to numerous risks and assumptions, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such FOFI. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this news release should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein, and such information is ‎presented for ‎illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Company's actual ‎financial position or ‎results of operations.‎
