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.

Public-Private Partnership Expands Real-Time Truck Parking Information System, Enhancing Safety and Freight Efficiency Along Washington's I-5 Corridor

TORONTO , Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading global provider of intelligent transportation system ("ITS") solutions, together with longtime partner the Washington State Department of Transportation ("WSDOT"), announces the deployment of a new Truck Parking Information Management System ("TPIMS") designed to help truck drivers quickly locate available parking at rest areas along Interstate 5 ("I-5").

The $2.3 million safety-focused initiative addresses one of the freight industry's most pressing challenges: secure and reliable truck parking. By improving visibility into available spaces, the technology helps reduce fatigue-related risks and supports safer, more efficient freight movement across Washington state. The initial deployment spans the I-5 corridor from Vancouver, Washington, to the Canadian border, with WSDOT planning future expansions along other major freight routes statewide.

Under WSDOT's statewide contract, Quarterhill has served as a full-service delivery partner, providing engineering expertise, project management, and field resources, while coordinating subcontractors and expediting equipment procurement.

The system integrates WSDOT's selected technology and data developed in partnership with university researchers to provide real-time parking availability updates. Information is shared through dynamic signage, mobile platforms, and WSDOT's traveler information systems, giving truck drivers greater visibility and helping optimize use of limited parking spaces along the critical I-5 freight corridor. Truck drivers can also access real-time parking data through WSDOT's Parker Truck app and accompanying online landing pages to track the growth of the system.

"This project is a prime example of how public agencies and private partners can work together to improve highway safety," said Matt Neeley, State Traffic Systems Development Engineer for WSDOT. "Reliable access to truck parking information not only supports safer freight movement but also strengthens the resilience of Washington's transportation network for all road users."

With this project, Quarterhill further demonstrates its versatility as a complete solutions provider, partnering with agencies from planning and procurement through to implementation and long-term operations.

"We are proud to continue our partnership with WSDOT on this important initiative," said Quarterhill CEO Chuck Myers. "By helping truck drivers plan ahead and find safe places to rest, the project directly improves roadway safety, reduces fatigue-related risks, and helps keep freight moving efficiently across Washington's most vital corridor."

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.

A city installs a single set of smart traffic signals on a busy corridor, and no one notices. But six months later, congestion has dropped, emissions are down, and the success sparks a citywide rollout. Small change. Significant effect.

‍

In our recent article, When the Roads We Traveled Knew Nothing, we explored how artificial intelligence is giving transportation systems new awareness and moving them from reactive to predictive. But AI is only part of the story. Across the industry, a quieter revolution is underway, where small, often overlooked technologies are steadily reshaping how entire networks operate.

The Power of Small Shifts

In transportation, a single roadside sensor, a connected vehicle data stream, or an automated process running in the background might not make headlines, but these subtle shifts add up. Over time, they interact, amplify, and ultimately change how the entire system works.

Many of these technologies didn’t arrive with fanfare. They emerged gradually, often from other industries, and only became “new” to transportation when their impact could no longer be ignored. The challenge today isn’t finding more tech, it’s connecting what we already have to deliver outcomes that matter.

The most significant breakthroughs rarely start as breakthroughs.

That’s where Quarterhill comes in. We help agencies identify the small moves that deliver big returns, whether that’s introducing a breakthrough tool or unlocking new potential in proven systems. Technology alone isn’t the goal; it’s the foundation for safer roads, smoother traffic, lower emissions, and better travel experiences.

Quiet Technologies, Large Impacts

Right now, automation, connectivity, and advanced analytics are converging with AI to reshape mobility. Some tools are new. Others, like weigh-in-motion systems, automated tolling, or probe vehicle data, have been here for years, quietly evolving into critical components of modern networks.

• Automated Enforcement Systems: Once peripheral, now central to urban safety. Cameras and sensors automatically detect violations, freeing officers for higher-priority work and reducing collisions in high-risk areas.
• Probe Vehicle Data: Once niche, now a cornerstone of real-time mobility intelligence. Live GPS data lets operators detect incidents within minutes, rerouting drivers before gridlock forms.
• Electronic Toll Collection: First deployed in Norway in 1986, now an integrated traffic management tool collecting revenue, easing congestion, and improving driver convenience in a single flow.

Each of these began as a narrow solution. Each became a catalyst for system-wide change.

When Technologies Converge

The most transformative shifts happen when these tools work together. Connected vehicle networks are powerful on their own, but when paired with smart infrastructure, they create ecosystems that can anticipate and prevent problems before they occur.

Digital twins start as replicas of individual assets. Integrated across jurisdictions, they enable collaborative planning, simulation, and risk management at scale.

AI-powered data systems pull from roadside sensors, vehicle telemetry, transactions, and historical trends. They transform raw data into split-second decisions that save time, money, and lives. Across the industry, the goal is no longer to collect more data, but to act on data faster.

Building for Long-Term Impact

At Quarterhill, we see emerging technologies as threads in a much larger fabric. One that must be woven with care to adapt, scale, and deliver lasting value. The agencies that lead the next era of mobility will be the ones making smart, targeted moves today, knowing those moves will trigger the most positive changes tomorrow.

The most profound changes rarely start with spectacle. They begin quietly.

Beneath the surface of everyday travel, a network of quiet changes is remaking transportation into something more intelligent, adaptive, and human-centered than ever before. This quiet revolution is happening now, and the road ahead is ours to define.
