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) income 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; and (viii) other income which includes equity in earnings from joint ventures; (ix) dividends received from joint ventures; and * 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 (loss) income 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 (loss) income.

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.

Adjusted Working Capital

Adjusted Working Capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities, adjusted for convertible debentures and derivative liability. Adjusted Working Capital reflects our net working capital expected to be settled in cash within twelve months.

Backlog - Non-IFRS Financial Measures

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 statement 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.

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; 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, 2023 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'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.

TORONTO, March 17, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2024. All financial information in this press release is reported in United States ("US") dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Q4 & Fiscal 2024 Highlights

• Revenue for Q4 2024 and fiscal 2024 was $38.9 million and $153.3 million, compared to $43.0 million and $144.0 million in the same periods last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ for Q4 2024 and fiscal 2024 was $1.2 million and $0.2 million compared to $2.3 million and $2.9 million in the same periods last year.
• Revenue backlog³ was $495 million at December 31, 2024.
• Cash generated from (used in) continuing operations for Q4 2024 and fiscal 2024 was $6.5 million and ($4.4) million compared to $32 thousand and ($14.0) million in the same periods last year.
• Cash and cash equivalents increased to $31.9 million at December 31, 2024 from $23.1 million at September 30, 2024.
• Acquired Red Fox for net proceeds of $4.9 million.
• Sold its 50% interest in the Chinese joint venture, Xuzhou-PAT Control Technologies Limited for net cash proceeds of $4.4 million.
• Appointed Pasquale T. (Pat) Deon, Sr. to its Board of Directors, and on February 19, 2025, appointed Robin Saunders to the Board of Directors.
• On January 6, 2025, announced $40 million Renewal Contract to Upgrade Alameda CTC I-580 Express Lanes, with a potential four-year expansion valued at another $15 million.

"We made progress in 2024 on our turnaround efforts, delivering top-line growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA for the year, as well as positive cash from operations and growth in our cash balance in Q4," said Chuck Myers, CEO at Quarterhill. "For the past year, our focus has been to transform the business by integrating our strong operating assets, implementing leadership changes, developing our strategic plan, advancing our technology roadmap, expanding our sales pipeline and renegotiating certain tolling contracts. While there is still work to do, we made important progress on each of these fronts in 2024, which positions us well for revenue growth and margin expansion in 2025."

"Our vision is to become the number one or two player in the markets we operate in. We aim to achieve growth while generating reliable cash flows to build a healthy balance sheet capable of supporting both organic and acquisition-driven expansion. While we still have work to do in our turnaround, with a solid financial foundation, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced technological capabilities, we are confident in our strategy and ability to execute on our growth plans."

Q4 & Fiscal 2024 Financial Review
Quarterhill's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2024 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements are available at the Company's website and at its profile at SEDAR+.

Financial statements for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, have been prepared to reflect continuing operations, and therefore, exclude results during that period from Wi-LAN Inc. ("WiLAN"), which was sold by Quarterhill on June 15, 2023.

Revenues for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $38.9 million and $153.3 million, compared to $43.0 million and $144.0 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue for Q4 2024 was due primarily to the timing of revenues received from certain contracts and the disposition of non-core Latin American operations in December 2023. The increase in revenues for fiscal 2024 was primarily due to continued strong performance from the enforcement operations as well as increased contribution from tolling operations.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $7.8 million and $27.8 million, or 20% and 18%, as compared to $8.5 million and $30.1 million, or 20% and 21%, in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily due to reserves taken in Q3 2024 related to cost overruns on two tolling projects which was partially offset by continued strong margin performance from the enforcement operations.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were $11.2 million and $43.7 million, compared to $15.8 million and $47.9 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The decreases are primarily due to a reduction in other charges and lower R&D, which was offset in part by an increase in SG&A.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $1.2 million and $0.2 million, compared to $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year periods, was due to the factors impacting revenue, gross margin and expenses, as previously described.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $0.3 million and ($11.0) million, or $0.00 and ($0.10) per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of ($11.5) million and ($32.4) million, or ($0.10) and ($0.28) per diluted share, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Cash generated from (used in) continuing operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $6.5 million and ($4.4) million, compared to $32 thousand and ($14.0) million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents were $31.9 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $23.1 million at September 30, 2024 and $42.7 million at December 31, 2023. Due to the nature of the Company's business activities, operating cash flows may vary significantly between periods due to changes and timing in working capital balances. Adjusted Working Capital⁴ was $66.2 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $78.9 million at December 31, 2023.

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.

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 income (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; and (viii) other income which includes equity in earnings from joint ventures; (ix) dividends received from joint ventures; and * 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.

Adjusted EBITDA per share is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the basic weighted average of common shares.

Adjusted Working Capital – Non-IFRS Financial Measure

Adjusted Working Capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities, adjusted for convertible debentures and derivative liability. Adjusted Working Capital reflects our net working capital expected to be settled in cash within twelve months. The most comparable IFRS measure is working capital.

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 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.

• Deon brings extensive tolling, transportation, and business expertise to Quarterhill

TORONTO, Dec. 31, 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 the appointment of Pasquale T. (Pat) Deon, Sr. to its Board of Directors.

Mr. Deon brings a wealth of experience in tolling, ITS, and business leadership to Quarterhill. As the former Chairman of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ("SEPTA") and current Vice Chairman of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Mr. Deon has played a pivotal role in advancing large-scale transportation initiatives. He is also an accomplished entrepreneur and community leader with extensive business experience in the real estate, energy, hospitality, and beverage industries.

"We are thrilled to welcome Pat Deon to Quarterhill's Board of Directors," said Rusty Lewis, Chair of the Board at Quarterhill. "Pat's background in transportation, particularly his leadership roles at SEPTA and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, will bring valuable insight to our tolling and enforcement businesses. His entrepreneurial achievements, proven ability to lead large-scale transportation initiatives, and deep relationships within the ITS industry make him an ideal addition to the board as we seek to capitalize on opportunities in our market and deliver on our growth potential."

During his 25-year tenure as Chair of SEPTA, the nation's sixth-largest public transit system, Mr. Deon led significant expansions and technological innovations, contributing to a billion-dollar capital budget, increasing ridership, and maintaining balanced budgets. His leadership also helped secure over $800 million in project financing, earning him recognition along the way, such as the "Outstanding Public Transportation Board Member Award" from the American Public Transportation Association.

Beyond SEPTA, Mr. Deon has been recognized for his leadership roles on several influential boards, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, the Delaware River Port Authority, the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, and the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Mr. Deon's entrepreneurial achievements are equally noteworthy.

• Quarterhill will supply 15 portable iTHEIA™ video-based AI traffic count and classification systems for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
• iTHEIA is a self-contained, non-intrusive traffic classifier that sets a new standard for safety, efficiency, and accuracy in traffic data collection.

TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a global leader in providing intelligent transportation system solutions, announced today the award of a contract for the supply of iTHEIA™ AI Video Automatic Traffic Recorders ("ATR") for Minnesota DOT ("MnDOT").

Quarterhill's iTHEIA utilizes advanced AI to accurately count and classify all common vehicle types, including passenger cars, trucks, buses, RVs, and motorcycles. iTHEIA operates on a powerful edge computing platform, ensuring high accuracy and reliability without requiring internet connectivity. This provides a self-contained system that does not need cloud processing to classify but can be connected to a network for easy access to data if desired.

By using iTHEIA, transportation agencies like MnDOT can efficiently improve road safety and enhance traffic management. For these agencies, it is important that traffic data meets federal reporting requirements, and iTHEIA has been trained to classify vehicles according to the Federal Highway Administration's standard ("FHWA") 13-Class scheme.

The Portable iTHEIA system is intended for short-term deployments, providing a simple way to acquire data from multiple locations. iTHEIA eliminates the need for in-road sensors, reducing costs and enhancing safety as users never have to set foot on the road to set up and operate the system.

"iTHEIA is a game-changer for us," stated John Hackett from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. "Deploying this AI classifier device is fast and simple – setup in under 30 minutes – and it watches over three lanes of traffic without risk to our staff's safety on busy roads. The iTHEIA AI Classifier is the only way we can get FHWA 13 Class counts on some of our busy roadways."

"MnDOT's order for multiple portable iTHEIA units represents a significant milestone for Quarterhill," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "It not only reinforces our commitment to revolutionizing traffic data using AI but also marks an exciting step forward in our partnership with the state. It signals to the industry and to our customers that we are setting the standard for safety, efficiency, and accuracy in traffic data collection."
