• Expansion into Djibouti adds to Quarterhill's growing portfolio in East Africa, demonstrating the Company's ability to address diverse transportation needs in the region.
  
  
• Repeat orders from Thailand and South Korea reinforce proven reliability of Quarterhill's weigh-in-motion systems.

TORONTO, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading global provider of intelligent transportation system ("ITS") solutions, today announced new international contracts in Djibouti, Thailand, and South Korea, marking its first deployment in Djibouti and expanding the Company's footprint in East Africa.

Quarterhill's Djibouti deployment introduces a comprehensive overweight enforcement solution combining high-speed and slow-speed weigh-in-motion ("WIM") technologies. The system features two high-speed WIM lanes with bending plate sensors for initial vehicle screening, plus six slow-speed lanes for verifying suspected overweight vehicles.

The enforcement infrastructure includes iSINC-based electronics, integrated license plate readers, and barrier gates, all managed through a centralized control room. Quarterhill's weigh station software has been customized for this project with French language support and enhanced citation tracking across multiple workstations. This multi-tiered approach ensures efficient traffic flow while maintaining accurate weight regulation enforcement.

The project is part of a World Bank-funded infrastructure upgrade, with Quarterhill subcontracted through Danway Emirates LLC and HAWK International & Construction Djibouti, SARL leading the initiative.

Quarterhill's continued success in established markets is reflected in repeat orders from Thailand and South Korea, where transportation agencies have expanded their deployments of the Company's Single Load Cell and Bending Plate WIM systems. These follow-on contracts validate the proven performance of Quarterhill's technology in high-traffic environments.

The systems deliver exceptional accuracy through full tire footprint contact and are engineered for long-term durability under heavy traffic conditions. Their temperature stability and consistent performance make them particularly well-suited for both high-speed monitoring and enforcement pre-screening applications across diverse operating environments.

"These recent achievements in Djibouti, South Korea, and Thailand highlight the growing demand for our innovative weigh-in-motion technologies in diverse markets around the world," said Chuck Myers, Chief Executive Officer of Quarterhill. "We are proud to partner with governments and agencies that share our commitment to improving roadway safety and efficiency. By offering highly reliable and customizable solutions, Quarterhill continues to deliver meaningful value to transportation networks globally."

TORONTO, Jan. 8, 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 that Kyle Chriest, Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), is leaving the Company to pursue another employment opportunity.

Mr. Chriest will remain with Quarterhill until the end of January to ensure an orderly transition. The Company has engaged an executive search firm to assist in recruiting a new CFO. Morgan Demkey, VP Operations, has been appointed Interim CFO while the Company conducts its CFO search. Mr. Demkey joined Quarterhill in 2021 as Director of Finance and transitioned into the VP Operations role in 2024. Prior to that, Mr Demkey held a variety of progressively senior finance roles in various organizations, including KPMG LLP. Mr. Demkey holds both Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and Chartered Accountant (CA) designations and has a Masters of Professional Accounting degree from the University of Saskatchewan.

"I'd like to thank Kyle for his leadership and valuable contributions during a pivotal 18 months for the Company. We wish him the best in his new role," said Chuck Myers, CEO at Quarterhill. "In 2024, we made substantial progress in turning around the Company - integrating our businesses, divesting non-core assets, streamlining our cost structure, and enhancing our technical capabilities. With this transformation process nearly complete, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on these achievements and drive top-line growth and margin expansion in 2025 and beyond."

Mr. Chriest's departure is not due to any disagreement with the Company or the board regarding its operating performance, financial results, accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosures. The Company remains confident in its strategic direction and financial health, with no changes to its outlook as previously discussed during the Q3 earnings call on November 8, 2024. Quarterhill expects to report its Q4 2024 results in mid-March 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.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹ for Q2 2025 was ($2.7) million compared to $1.7 million in Q2 2024.

• 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 24^th 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.

Conference ID: 30578 and Replay Passcode: 30578#

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.

• The new WIM station will assist Brussels Mobility in achieving its goals of improving road safety and creating a fair regulatory environment by reducing the number of overloaded vehicles on the roads of the Brussels region.
• Traffic data provided by the system will support Brussels Mobility's mission to foster economic growth and improve quality of life through the development of transport infrastructure.

TORONTO, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), announced today a contract to provide weigh-in-motion ("WIM") technology to Brussels Mobility through a joint project with Belgium-based technology integrator Jacops NV ("Jacops"). Quarterhill will be responsible for the design and supply of the WIM subsystem, technical support, and training. Quarterhill will also provide Jacops with the software necessary for commercial vehicle monitoring and enforcement.

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.
