Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (TSXV: NCI) (OTC Pink: NYWKF); NTG Clarity ("NTG" or the "Company") today reported its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (all figures in Canadian Dollars).

Q2 2026 Highlights
All comparisons below are to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted

• Revenue grew 6.4% year-over-year to $20.1 million, and declined 5.6% from $21.3 million in the first quarter. Clients across the region extended decision and project timelines during the quarter in response to regional conditions, meaning new work growth was not as fast as expected.
• Gross Profit was $6.7 million, representing 33.5% of revenue, compared to $7.2 million and 37.9% in the prior year. The margin decline reflects customers pushing for better pricing terms with the conflict backdrop.
• Net Income was $2.3 million, or 11.4% of revenue, compared to $403,000 or 2.1% in the prior year. Income before taxes was a loss of $59,521. The quarter includes a non-recurring deferred tax recovery of approximately $1.8 million related to the conversion of the Company's Saudi branch to an LLC structure, which removed double taxation between Saudi Arabia and Canada.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $5,560, or 0.0% of revenue, compared to $2.8 million, or 14.8%, in the prior year. The Company built capacity in 2025 to accommodate a higher revenue base that has been slower to materialize driven by economic uncertainty caused by regional conflicts. The Company's cost base, including cost of goods sold and G&A, has remained relatively flat since Q4 2025 and the change in the Company's Adjusted EBITDA margin has primarily been driven by revenue and operating leverage.

Fiscal 2026 Financial Outlook
Even though NTG is seeing moderate revenue growth in 2026, due to the economic uncertainty caused by regional conflicts, the company is withdrawing the fiscal 2026 financial outlook disclosed on April 27, 2026 consisting of revenue expected to be above $90 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13% to 16%. The Company is not issuing a replacement range at this time. The outlook assumed that clients would continue and increase contracted project work at the same pace as seen in previous years, but this did not materialize in June 2026.

Saudi Arabia's real GDP declined 4.8% year over year in the second quarter, driven by a 24.7% decline in oil activities following disruption to crude exports. Non-oil activities grew 0.6%, down from 2.9% in the first quarter. Oil receipts fund the government and government-affiliated programs that set the technology budgets the Company serves, which is the channel through which the slowdown has reached the Company.

Despite the regional uncertainty, NTG maintaining a solid base of business in the face of Saudi GDP shrinkage, and is growing faster than the Saudi economy as a whole. With strong Q3 Purchase Order volume, NTG's focus will be on collecting outstanding receivables to protect cash and executing on new engagements using its already-established delivery staff.

"Regional conditions have lengthened payment cycles across our markets, and cash collection is where we fell short this quarter. We collected approximately $15 million in the second quarter against approximately $20 million in the first. We did not adjust quickly enough. Our executive team is now directly involved in collections, working the balance customer by customer. July collections were approximately $8 million," said Adam Zaghloul, Vice President of Strategy & Planning at NTG Clarity.

Work Valued at $16.8 Million

NTG Clarity is also pleased to announce that it has received new purchase orders ("POs") and contract renewals totaling approximately $16.8M CAD. This brings Q3 2026 purchase order announcements to date to $33.4M CAD.

• $1M in new purchase orders for offshore and onsite software development services
  • $593K in new purchase orders with three new and one existing customer
  • $432K in new purchase orders with an existing real estate development customer
    • These POs represent billings against the previously announced three-year framework contract announced in March 2026.
    • These POs cover a portion of the expected work for the remainder of 2026 only, with additional POs expected for 2027 and beyond as the engagement continues.
• $15.7M in contract renewals, expansions, and related purchase orders with existing customers:
  • $5.3M in renewed POs and contracts for offshore and onsite software development services.
  • $6.2M in purchase orders for offshore software development services.
    • These POs represent billings against the previously announced $53M three-year framework contract announced in August 2024.
  • $4.2M in purchase orders for offshore software development services.
    • These POs represent billings against the previously announced $22M three-year framework contract announced in December 2024.
• $59K in new purchase orders for NTGapps for an existing Telecom customer.

"Deal flow in the second quarter, including both new work and renewals, was materially slower than our expectations as clients across the region extended decision timelines. However, we are keeping our delivery capacity in place because the region's digital transformation programs have not gone away. We have announced $33.4 million of purchase orders in the third quarter to date," said Adam Zaghloul, Vice President of Strategy & Planning at NTG Clarity. "Our delivery staff are a key asset to NTG and rebuilding a delivery team of this quality takes far longer than the gap we are managing through. With strong PO volume in Q3 including expanded engagements and substantial new customer orders, we expect consistent demand for NTG's services to continue, reflecting NTG's reputation and the satisfaction of our customers."

Income Statement Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Balance Sheet Highlights

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

NTG references Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS (non-GAAP) measure and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is a non-GAAP ratio. Adjusted EBITDA means adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is equal to net income (loss) before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to EBITDA before other discretionary expenses and expenses outside of the control of NTG. In NTG's case these are other income, share-based payments, and expenses related to foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized measures under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized, or how the results are taxed and consolidated in various jurisdictions and currencies as well as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items.

Readers should be cautioned, however, that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.
The non-IFRS measures referenced in this MD&A reconcile to the IFRS measures reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as follows, unless reconciled elsewhere:
