1 Excluding amortization costs.

The tables at the end of this press release include a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial ratios used by the Company to comparable U.S. GAAP measures and an explanation of why the

Company uses them.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of expected Adjusted EBITDA and expected Non-GAAP basic EPS for the third quarter of 2026 to the most directly comparable expected GAAP measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty, among other things, restructuring charges and impairment charges and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the tables at the end of this press release.

(United States dollars, in millions except share and per share amounts)

The following tables show information by operating segment for the three and six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024. The Company reports segment information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the Financial Standards Accounting Board’s Accounting Standard Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance of the Company’s reportable operating segments. The measure of segment profit or loss disclosed by the Company in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the “management” approach in reviewing the results of the Company’s operating segments is segment adjusted gross margin. Additionally, the following tables include the additional measures of segment profit or loss used by the CODM which is segment adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s operating segments.

The following tables reconcile the Company’s segment adjusted gross margin results for the three months ended August 31, 2025 to consolidated U.S. GAAP results:

______________________________

(1) See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures with the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of selected U.S. GAAP-based measures to adjusted measures for three and six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

The following table reconciles total segment adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to the Company’s consolidated totals:

			Three Months Ended
			August 31, 2025						August 31, 2024
Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA			$	35.8					$	25.0
Adjustments (1):
Stock compensation expense			5.9						5.3
Restructuring charges			3.4						0.9
Less:
Adjusted Corporate operating costs excluding amortization (2)			9.9						9.9
Amortization			4.6						6.1
Impairment of long-lived assets			0.5						0.6
Investment income			(1.9)						(2.7)
Consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes			$	13.4					$	4.9

______________________________

(1) The CODM reviews segment information on an adjusted EBITDA basis, which excludes certain amounts as described below:

Stock compensation expenses - Equity compensation is a non-cash expense and does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company’s management.

Restructuring charges - Restructuring charges relate to employee termination benefits, facilities, streamlining many of the Company’s centralized corporate functions into Secure Communications and QNX specific teams, and other costs pursuant to programs to reduce the Company’s annual expenses amongst R&D, infrastructure and other functions and do not reflect expected future operating expenses, are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, and may not be meaningful when comparing the Company’s operating performance against that of prior periods.

(2) See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures with the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of selected U.S. GAAP-based measures to adjusted measures for three and six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

In the Company’s internal reports, management evaluates the performance of the Company’s business on a non-GAAP basis by excluding the impact of certain items from the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial results. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide management, as well as readers of the Company’s financial statements, with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and are useful in helping management and readers understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends.

Readers are cautioned that adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted operating expense, adjusted Corporate operating costs, adjusted Corporate operating costs excluding amortization, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted sales and marketing expense, adjusted general and administrative expense, adjusted amortization expense, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted operating income margin percentage, adjusted EBITDA margin percentage and free cash flow (usage) and similar measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted financial measures is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP operating expense for the three months ended August 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024 to adjusted operating expense is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Corporate operating costs for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted Corporate operating costs excluding amortization is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) and U.S. GAAP basic earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and amortization expense for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and amortization expense is reflected in the table below:

Adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income margin percentage and adjusted EBITDA margin percentage for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 are reflected in the table below.

______________________________

(1) Adjusted operating income margin % is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by revenue.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA margin % is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted financial measures is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP operating expense for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted operating expense is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Corporate operating costs for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted Corporate operating costs excluding amortization is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) and U.S. GAAP basic earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to the adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share is reflected in the table below:

Reconciliation of U.S GAAP research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and amortization expense for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to adjusted research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and amortization expense is reflected in the table below:

Adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income margin percentage and adjusted EBITDA margin percentage for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 are reflected in the table below.

______________________________

(1) Adjusted operating income margin % is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by revenue.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA margin % is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

The Company uses free cash flow (usage) when assessing its sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. The Company believes that free cash flow (usage) is helpful in understanding the Company’s capital requirements and provides an additional means to reflect the cash flow trends in the Company’s business.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 to free cash flow (usage) is reflected in the table below:

The Company regularly monitors a number of financial and operating metrics, including the following key metrics, in order to measure the Company’s current performance and estimated future performance. Readers are cautioned that Secure Communications annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) and Secure Communications dollar-based net retention rate (“DBNRR”) do not have any standardized meaning and are unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
