Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $35.0 million, an increase of $4.4 million from the  prior year comparable period. Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was $97.5 million, a decrease of $1.9 million from the same prior year period.  Sales continue to accelerate in this quarter and have overcome the impact of our transformation from "integrator" in the control room space and the resulting decrease in sales of third-party components and related professional services that are often a significant component of these solutions.  

Gross Margin* for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2025 was 72.0% and 72.3%, respectively compared to 75.0% and 73.0% for the prior year comparable periods. Gross Margin* were impacted by year-over-year increases in revenues related to a multi-year government contract bearing characteristics of the legacy system integrator model.  

Total expenses for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2025 were $24.9 million and $75.6 million, respectively representing increases of $3.1 million and $8.1 million when compared to their respective prior year comparative periods.  For the three months ended July 31, 2025, the year-over-year increases were largely related to $0.9 million in higher sales compensation and to a lesser extend increase marketing, $0.8 million in implemented investments in Research and Development, the impact of the weak Canadian dollar which added $0.5 million in total expenses, and $0.5 million in share-based payments.  For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, the year over year increase stems from $1.9 million in year-over-year currency-related impacts, $1.7 million in non-recurring expenses related to the Vitec litigation, $1.7 million in incremental sales and marketing expenses, $1.4 million in implemented research and development expenses and $0.8 million in share-based payments which may vary based on the nature and the timing of the grants.   

For the three months ended July 31, 2025, the $4.3 million  improvement in revenue translated to an  additional $2.2 million in gross profits when compared to the prior year comparative period but was not sufficient to overcome the $3.1 million increase in total expenses resulting in the $0.8 million decline in year-over-year Operating profit.  For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, the  decrease in revenue resulted in a $2.2 million decrease of Gross profit*.  The decrease in Gross profit* and the $8.1 million increase in total expenses resulted in a $10.3 million decrease in Operating profit when compared to the prior year comparative period.

Similarly, Adjusted EBITDA* for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $0.6 million when compared to the prior year comparative period.   The Adjusted EBITDA margin* for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was 10.1% compared to 13.5% for the prior year comparative period.   Adjusted EBITDA* for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was $5.8 million, a decrease of $8.6 million from the prior year comparative period.  The decline in Adjusted EBITDA can be attributed to the $2.2 million decline in gross profit, coupled with the year-over-year increases in sales and marketing, implemented research and development, certain technology investments and share-based payments. The Adjusted EBITDA margin* for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was 5.9% compared to 14.5% for the prior year comparative period. 

Net income for the three months ended July 31, 2025, was $0.2 million compared to $0.4 million for the prior year comparative period.  Net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was $3.3 million compared to net income of $2.6 million in the prior year comparative period, The $5.9 million decrease in net income resulted from  year-over-year decrease in first quarter revenues resulting in a $2.2 million decrease in Gross profit*; the $8.1 million increase in total expenses; offset by the $4.2 million decrease in income taxes.

 *Measures followed by the suffix "*" in this press release are non-IFRS measures. For the relevant definition, see "Non-IFRS Measures" below. As applicable, a reconciliation of this non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is included in the tables at the end of this press release and in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2025.

Financial Statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis and Additional Information 

Haivision's consolidated financial statements for the third quarter ended July 31, 2025 (the "Q3 Financial Statements"), the management's discussion and analysis thereon and additional information relating to Haivision and its business can be found under Haivision's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The financial information presented in this release was derived from the Q3 Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release includes "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's growth opportunities and its ability to execute on its growth strategy. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "targets", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "an opportunity exists", "is positioned", "estimates", "intends", "assumes", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate" or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", "will" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, nor guarantees or assurances of future performance but instead represent management's current beliefs, expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events and operating performance.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Haivision as of the date of this release, are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors identified under "Risk Factors" in the Company's latest annual information form, and in other periodic filings that the Company has made and may make in the future with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada, all of which are available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect Haivision. However, such risk factors should be considered carefully. There can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release. Haivision undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable securities laws.

Non-IFRS Measures

Haivision's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter ended July 31, 2025 are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards – Accounting Standards ("IFRS^® Accounting Standards").  As a compliment to results provided in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, this press release makes reference to certain (i) non-IFRS financial measures, including "EBITDA", and "Adjusted EBITDA", (ii) non-IFRS ratios including "Adjusted EBITDA Margin", and (iii) supplementary financial measures including "Gross Margins" (collectively "non-IFRS measures"). These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS Accounting Standards. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS Accounting Standards measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. For information on the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of Haivision, composition of the non-IFRS measures, a description of how Haivision uses these measures and an explanation of how these measures provide useful information to investors, refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures" section of the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2025, dated September 10, 2025, available on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, which is incorporated by reference into this press release. As applicable, the reconciliations for each non-IFRS measure are outlined below. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as indicators of the Company's performance, liquidity, cash flow and profitability.
