 "In the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, we aimed to build on the stabilization and modernization efforts we established and moved rapidly to align our cost base with cyclical revenue softness, resulting in a reduction of operating costs by approximately 17% year-over-year" said Todd Schulte, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "As a result, we were able to lower our net-loss to $11.1 million, make meaningful investments back into the business, advance our AI initiatives to improve the efficiency and workflow of our solutions, and establish fundamental cash generation to strengthen our balance sheet. As we progress in Fiscal 2027, we remain focused on what we can control."

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective and to discuss Dye & Durham's financial outlook. The Company's definitions of non-IFRS measures may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of Dye & Durham's financial information reported under IFRS.

The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures, namely, "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA margin" and "Segment Adjusted EBITDA", to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Specifically, the Company believes that the aforementioned non-IFRS financial measures, when viewed with the Company's results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about the Company's business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods and acquisition, restructuring, impairment, gain on disposal of subsidiary and other charges such as acquisition and reorganization related expenses, integration expenses and corporate cost allocations, the Company believes that the non-IFRS financial measures included herein can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated.

The Company believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures" and "Select Information and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" in the Company's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis, which is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for further details, including reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable IFRS measures, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

Below are the Company's definitions of the non-IFRS measures used herein:

"Adjusted EBITDA" adjusts net loss by adding back finance costs, amortization, depreciation and impairment costs, income tax expense (recovery), gain on disposal of subsidiary, stock-based compensation expense (recovery), and loss (gain) on contingent receivables, specific transaction-related expenses related to acquisition and reorganization related expenses, integration and operational restructuring costs, and other non-recurring expenses. Operational restructuring costs are incurred as a direct or indirect result of acquisition activities.

"Adjusted EBITDA margin" is Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

"Segment Adjusted EBITDA" is Adjusted EBITDA as defined above and adds back corporate cost allocations. "Segment Adjusted EBITDA" is representative of "Segment (loss) income" noted in the Segment Information footnote of the Financial Statements. "Segment (loss) income after allocated costs" adjusts the "Segment income (loss)" by deducting the corporate cost allocations.
