ii



The Registrant does not follow Rule 5605(d)(1), which requires companies to adopt a formal written compensation committee charter and have a compensation committee review and reassess the adequacy of the charter on an annual basis. In lieu of following Rule 5605(d)(1), the Registrant follows the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Registrant does not follow Rule 5605(d)(2), which requires companies to have a compensation committee comprised of at least two members, with each member being Independent Director as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2). In lieu of following Rule 5605(d)(2), the Registrant follows the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Registrant does not follow Rule 5605(e)(1), which requires independent director involvement in the selection of director nominees, by having a Nominations Committee comprised solely of independent directors. In lieu of following Rule 5605(e)(1), the Registrant follows the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Registrant does not follow Rule 5605(e)(2), which requires companies to adopt a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the director nomination process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. In lieu of following Rule 5605(e)(2), the Registrant follows the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Nasdaq minimum quorum requirement under Rule 5620(c) for a shareholder meeting is 33-1/3% of the outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, a registrant listed on Nasdaq is required to state its quorum requirement in its by-laws. The Registrant’s quorum requirement is set forth in its by-laws. A quorum for a meeting of shareholders of the Registrant is two shareholders or proxyholders that hold or represent, as applicable, not less than 25% of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. The Registrant does not follow Rule 5620(c) (shareholder quorum) but instead follows its home country practice.
The foregoing is consistent with the laws, customs and practices in Canada.

(b) Each Electing Person who elects to receive their Elected Amount in the form of DSUs will be required to file a notice of election in the form of Schedule A hereto (the “Election Notice”) with the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation: (i) in the case of an existing Electing Person, by December 31st in the year prior to the year to which such election is to apply (other than for Director Fees payable for the 2019 financial year, in which case any Electing Person who is not a U.S. Taxpayer as of the date of this Plan shall file the Election Notice by the date that is 30 days from the Effective Date with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after such date); and (ii) in the case of a newly appointed Electing Person who is not a U.S. Taxpayer, within 30 days of such appointment with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after such date. In the case of an existing Electing Person who is a U.S. Taxpayer as of the Effective Date of this Plan, an initial Election Notice may be filed by the date that is 30 days from the Effective Date only with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after the Election Date; and, in the case of a newly appointed Electing Person who is a U.S. Taxpayer, an Election Notice may be filed within 30 days of such appointment only with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after the Election Date. If no election is made within the foregoing time frames, the Electing Person shall be deemed to have elected to be paid the entire amount of his or her Cash Fees in cash. (c) Subject to Subsection 7.1(d), the election of an Electing Person under Subsection 7.1(b) shall be deemed to apply to all Cash Fees paid subsequent to the filing of the Election Notice, and such Electing Person is not required to file another Election Notice for subsequent calendar years. (d) Each Electing Person who is not a U.S. Taxpayer is entitled once per calendar year to terminate his or her election to receive DSUs by filing with the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation a termination notice in the form of Schedule B. Such termination shall be effective immediately upon receipt of such notice, provided that the Corporation has not imposed a “black-out” on trading. Thereafter, any portion of such Electing Person’s Cash Fees payable or paid in the same calendar year and, subject to complying with Subsection 7.1(b), all subsequent calendar years shall be paid in cash. For greater certainty, to the extent an Electing Person terminates his or her participation in the grant of DSUs pursuant to this Article 7, he or she shall not be entitled to elect to receive the Elected Amount, or any other amount of his or her Cash Fees in DSUs again until the calendar year following the year in which the termination notice is delivered. An election by a U.S. Taxpayer to receive the Elected Amount in DSUs for any calendar year is irrevocable for that calendar year after the expiration of the election period for that year and any termination of the election will not take effect until the first day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the termination notice in the form of Schedule C is delivered.


 
- 19 - (e) Any DSUs granted pursuant to this Article 7 prior to the delivery of a termination notice pursuant to Section 7.1(d) shall remain in the Plan following such termination and will be redeemable only in accordance with the terms of the Plan. (f) The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time pursuant to this Article 7 will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any bonus or similar payment that are to be paid as DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator or Director Fees that are to be paid in DSUs (including any Elected Amount), by (ii) the Market Price of a Share on the Date of Grant. (g) In addition to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant DSUs to any Participant. 7.2 DSU Account All DSUs received by a Participant (which, for greater certainty includes Electing Persons) shall be credited to an account maintained for the Participant on the books of the Corporation, as of the Date of Grant. The terms and conditions of each DSU grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. 7.3 Vesting of DSUs Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, DSUs shall vest immediately upon grant. 7.4 Settlement of DSUs (a) DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement; provided, however that if there is no Award Agreement or the Award Agreement does not establish a date for the settlement of the DSUs, then, for a Participant who is not a U.S. Taxpayer the settlement date shall be the date determined by the Participant, and for a Participant who is a U.S. taxpayer, the settlement date shall be the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” under Section 409A and for greater certainty in all cases by the end of the year in which such separation from service occurs, subject to Section 11.6(d). On the settlement date for any DSU, the Participant shall redeem each vested DSU for: (i) one (1) fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury to the Participant or as the Participant may direct; or (ii) at the election of the Participant and subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment. (b) Any cash payments made under this Section 7.4 by the Corporation to a Participant in respect of DSUs to be redeemed for cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date.


 
- 20 - (c) Payment of cash to Participants on the redemption of vested DSUs may be made through the Corporation’s payroll or in such other manner as determined by the Corporation. (d) No DSU holder who is resident in the United States may settle DSUs for Shares unless the Shares issuable upon settlement of the DSUs are registered under the U.S. Securities Act or are issued in compliance with an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. ARTICLE 8 ADDITIONAL AWARD TERMS 8.1 Dividend Equivalents (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, an Award of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs shall include the right for such RSUs, PSUs and DSUs be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, respectively, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, held by the Participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Market Price at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places. Dividend equivalents credited to a Participant’s account shall vest in proportion to the RSUs, PSUs and DSUs to which they relate, and shall be settled in accordance with Subsections 5.4, 6.6, and 7.4 respectively. (b) The foregoing does not obligate the Corporation to declare or pay dividends on Shares and nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as creating such an obligation. 8.2 Black-out Period If an Award expires during, or within five business days after, a routine or special trading black- out period imposed by the Corporation to restrict trades in the Corporation’s securities, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, unless the delayed expiration would result in tax consequences, the Award shall expire ten business days after the trading black-out period is lifted by the Corporation. 8.3 Withholding Taxes Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, the granting, vesting or settlement of each Award under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such grant, vesting or settlement, such action is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator. In such circumstances, the Plan Administrator may require that a Participant pay to the Corporation the minimum amount as the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation is obliged to withhold or remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the granting, vesting or settlement of the Award. Any such additional


 
- 21 - payment is due no later than the date on which such amount with respect to the Award is required to be remitted to the relevant tax authority by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be. Alternatively, and subject to any requirements or limitations under applicable law, the Corporation or any Affiliate may (a) withhold such amount from any remuneration or other amount payable by the Corporation or any Affiliate to the Participant, (b) require the sale, on behalf of the applicable Participant, of a number of Shares issued upon exercise, vesting, or settlement of such Award and the remittance to the Corporation of the net proceeds from such sale sufficient to satisfy such amount, or (c) enter into any other suitable arrangements for the receipt of such amount. 8.4 Recoupment Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, Awards may be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of any clawback, recoupment or similar policy adopted by the Corporation or the relevant subsidiary of the Corporation, or as set out in the Participant’s employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement, or as otherwise required by law or the rules of the Exchange. The Plan Administrator may at any time waive the application of this Section 8.4 to any Participant or category of Participants. ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES 9.1 Termination of Employee, Consultant or Director Subject to Section 9.2, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement: (a) where a Participant’s employment, consulting or other agreement or arrangement is terminated or the Participant ceases to hold office or his or her position, as applicable, by reason of voluntary resignation by the Participant or termination by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation without Cause then, subject to applicable law that cannot be waived by the Participant: (i) each Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the Termination Date is immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date; and (ii) each Award held by a Participant that has vested may be exercised, settled or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award, and (B) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date, provided that any Awards subject to Section 409A awarded to U.S. Taxpayers, shall be exercised, settled or surrendered within the same calendar year as the Participant’s “separation from service”. Any Award that has not been exercised, settled or surrendered at the end of such period being immediately forfeited and cancelled;


 
- 22 - (b) where a Participant’s employment, consulting or other agreement or arrangement is terminated o by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for Cause then, subject to applicable law that cannot be waived by the Participant: (i) each Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the Termination Date is immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date; and (ii) each Award held by a Participant that has vested may be exercised, settled or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award, and (B) the date that is 15 days after the Termination Date, provided that any Awards subject to Section 409A awarded to U.S. Taxpayers, shall be exercised, settled or surrendered within the same calendar year as the Participant’s “separation from service”. Any Award that has not been exercised, settled or surrendered at the end of such period being immediately forfeited and cancelled; (c) where a Participant’s employment, consulting or other agreement or arrangement is terminated by reason of the death of the Participant, then each Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of the death of such Participant but is scheduled to vest within the next year shall vest on such date and may be exercised, settled or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (i) the Expiry Date of such Award, and (ii) the first anniversary of the date of the death of such Participant provided that any Awards subject to Section 409A awarded to U.S. Taxpayers, shall be exercised or surrendered within the same calendar year as the Participant’s death. Any Award that has not been exercised, settled or surrendered at the end of such period being immediately forfeited and cancelled. All other unvested Awards shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled; (d) where a Participant becomes Disabled, then each Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of the Disability of such Participant and is scheduled to vest within the next year shall vest on such date and may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by a Participant at any time until the Expiry Date of such Award, provided that any Awards subject to Section 409A awarded to U.S. Taxpayers, shall be exercised or surrendered within the same calendar year as the Participant’s “separation from service”. Any Award that remains unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period. All other unvested Awards shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled; (e) a Participant’s eligibility to receive further grants of Awards under this Plan ceases as of the earliest of the following: (i) the Termination Date; (ii) the date that the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be, provides the Participant with written notification that the


 
- 23 - Participant’s employment, consulting or other agreement or arrangement is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the Termination Date; or (iii) the date of the death, Disability or the date notice is given of the resignation of the Participant; and (f) notwithstanding Subsection 9.1(a), Awards are not affected by a change of employment or directorship within or among the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation so long as the Participant continues to be a Director or Employee, as applicable, of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. For clarity, unless the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, determines otherwise, Awards will be forfeited and cancelled in accordance with Subsection 9.1(a) where a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director but continues as (or transitions to) a Consultant of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. 9.2 Discretion to Permit Acceleration Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, at any time prior to, or following the events contemplated in such Section, or in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Participant, permit the acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards or waive termination of any or all Awards, all in the manner and on the terms as may be authorized by the Plan Administrator. ARTICLE 10 EVENTS AFFECTING THE CORPORATION 10.1 General The existence of any Awards does not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this Article 10 would have an adverse effect on this Plan or on any Award granted hereunder. 10.2 Change in Control Except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Participant: (a) Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan or any Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause (i) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially


 
- 24 - equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control; (ii) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iii) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Corporation without payment); (iv) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 10.2(a), the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Options held by a Canadian Taxpayer, the Plan Administrator may not cause the Canadian Taxpayer to receive (pursuant to this Subsection 10.2(a)) any property in connection with a Change in Control other than rights to acquire shares of a corporation or units of a “mutual fund trust” (as defined in the Tax Act), of the Corporation or a “qualifying person” (as defined in the Tax Act) that does not deal at arm’s length (for purposes of the Tax Act) with the Corporation, as applicable, at the time such rights are issued or granted. (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.1, and except as otherwise provided in a written employment or other agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation and a Participant, if within 12 months following the completion of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, a Participant’s employment, consultancy or directorship is terminated by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation without Cause: (i) any unvested Awards held by the Participant that have not been exercised, settled or surrendered as of the Termination Date shall immediately vest; and (ii) any vested Awards of Participants may be exercised, settled or surrendered to the Corporation by such Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date, provided that any Awards subject to Section 409A awarded to U.S. Taxpayers, shall be exercised, settled or surrendered within the same calendar year as the Participant’s “separation from service”, with any Award that has not been exercised, settled or surrendered at the end of such period being immediately forfeited and cancelled.


 
- 25 - (c) Notwithstanding Subsection 10.2(a) and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Shares will cease trading on an Exchange, then the Corporation may terminate all of the Awards, other than an Option held by a Participant that is a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act, granted under this Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control transaction by paying to each holder at or within a reasonable period of time following completion of such Change in Control transaction an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such Participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably. (d) It is intended that any actions taken under this Section 10.2 will comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to Awards granted to U.S. Taxpayers. 10.3 Reorganization of Corporation’s Capital Should the Corporation effect a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or any similar capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend), or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Corporation that does not constitute a Change in Control and that would warrant the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, the Plan Administrator will, subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider to be equitable and appropriate to that end. 10.4 Other Events Affecting the Corporation In the event of an amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or other transaction or reorganization involving the Corporation and occurring by exchange of Shares, by sale or lease of assets or otherwise, that does not constitute a Change in Control and that warrants the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, the Plan Administrator will, subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider to be equitable and appropriate to that end. 10.5 Immediate Acceleration of Awards In taking any of the steps provided in Sections 10.3 and 10.4, the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly and where the Plan Administrator determines that the steps provided in Sections 10.3 and 10.4 would not preserve proportionately the rights, value and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards in the circumstances or otherwise determines that it is appropriate, the Plan Administrator may, but is not required to, permit the immediate vesting of any unvested Awards.


 
- 26 - 10.6 Issue by Corporation of Additional Shares Except as expressly provided in this Article 10, neither the issue by the Corporation of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange of such shares or securities, affects, and no adjustment by reason thereof is to be made with respect to the number of Shares that may be acquired as a result of a grant of Awards. 10.7 Fractions No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to an Award. Accordingly, if, as a result of any adjustment under this Article 10 or a dividend equivalent, a Participant would become entitled to a fractional Share, the Participant has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Shares, which shall be disregarded. ARTICLE 11 U.S. TAXPAYERS 11.1 Provisions for U.S. Taxpayers Options granted under this Plan to U.S. Taxpayers may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422 of the Code (“ISOs”). Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an ISO or a non-qualified stock option. The Corporation shall not be liable to any Participant or to any other Person if it is determined that an Option intended to be an ISO does not qualify as an ISO. Nonqualified stock options will be granted to a U.S. Taxayer only if (i) such U.S. Taxpayer performs services for the Corporation or any corporation or other entity in which the Corporation has a direct or indirect controlling interest or otherwise has a significant ownership interest, as determined under Section 409A, such that the Option will constitute an option to acquire “service recipient stock” within the meaning of Section 409A, or (ii) such option otherwise is exempt from Section 409A. 11.2 ISOs Subject to any limitations in Section 3.6, the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance in respect of granted ISOs shall not exceed 10,000,000 Shares, and the terms and conditions of any ISOs granted to a U.S. Taxpayer on the Date of Grant hereunder, including the eligible recipients of ISOs, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, and the terms, conditions, limitations and administrative procedures established by the Plan Administrator from time to time in accordance with this Plan. At the discretion of the Plan Administrator, ISOs may be granted to any employee of the Corporation, or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation”, as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code. 11.3 ISO Grants to 10% Shareholders Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if an ISO is granted to a person who owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Corporation or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation”, as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code, on the Date of Grant, the term of the Option shall not exceed


 
- 27 - five years from the time of grant of such Option and the Exercise Price shall be at least 110% of the Market Price of the Shares subject to the Option. 11.4 $100,000 Per Year Limitation for ISOs To the extent the aggregate Market Price as at the Date of Grant of the Shares for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any person during any calendar year (under all plans of the Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such excess ISOs shall be treated as non-qualified stock options. 11.5 Disqualifying Dispositions Each person awarded an ISO under this Plan shall notify the Corporation in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disposition or transfer of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such ISO if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two years from the Date of Grant or (b) within one year after the date such person acquired the Shares. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the person in such disposition or other transfer. The Corporation may, if determined by the Plan Administrator and in accordance with procedures established by it, retain possession of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO as agent for the applicable person until the end of the later of the periods described in (a) or (b) above, subject to complying with any instructions from such person as to the sale of such Shares. 11.6 Section 409A of the Code (a) This Plan will be construed and interpreted to be exempt from, or where not so exempt, to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent required to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan. Any reference in this Plan to section 409A of the Code also include any regulation promulgated thereunder or any other formal guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to section 409A of the Code. Each Award shall be construed and administered such that the Award either (A) qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of section 409A of the Code or (B) satisfies the requirements of section 409A of the Code. If an Award is subject to section 409A of the Code, (I) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under section 409A of the Code, (II) payments to be made upon a termination of employment or service shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code, (III) unless the Award specifies otherwise, each installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code, and (IV) in no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is made except in accordance with section 409A of the Code. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code. The Corporation reserves the right to amend this Plan to the extent it reasonably determines is necessary in order to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan in light of Section 409A of the Code. In no event will the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates be


 
- 28 - liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant under Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code. (b) All terms of the Plan that are undefined or ambiguous must be interpreted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code if necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code. (c) The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of payment of a U.S. Taxpayer’s vested Awards in the Plan under circumstances that constitute permissible acceleration events under Section 409A of the Code. (d) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code who is a U.S. Taxpayer, distributions of non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code made in connection with a “separation from service” within the meaning set forth in Section 409A of the Code may not be made prior to the date which is six months after the date of separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the U.S. Taxpayer). Any amounts subject to a delay in payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid as soon practicable following such six-month anniversary of such separation from service. 11.7 Section 83(b) Election If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to an Award of Shares subject to vesting or other forfeiture conditions, the Participant shall be required to promptly file a copy of such election with the Corporation. 11.8 Application of Article 11 to U.S. Taxpayers For greater certainty, the provisions of this Article 11 shall only apply to U.S. Taxpayers. ARTICLE 12 AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 12.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination of the Plan The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting shares of the Corporation, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan as it, in its discretion determines appropriate, provided, however, that: (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Awards granted hereunder may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable Securities Laws or Exchange requirements; and


 
- 29 - (b) any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. Taxpayer to be subject to the additional tax penalty under Section 409A(1)(b)(i)(II) of the Code shall be null and void ab initio with respect to the U.S. Taxpayer unless the consent of the U.S. Taxpayer is obtained. 12.2 Shareholder Approval Notwithstanding Section 12.1 and subject to any rules of the Exchange, approval of the holders of Shares shall be required for any amendment, modification or change that: (a) increases the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, except pursuant to the provisions under Article 10 which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital; (b) increases or removes the 10% limits on Shares issuable or issued to Insiders as set forth in Subsection 3.7(a); (c) reduces the exercise price of an Option Award (for this purpose, a cancellation or termination of an Option Award of a Participant prior to its Expiry Date for the purpose of reissuing an Option Award to the same Participant with a lower exercise price shall be treated as an amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Option Award) except pursuant to the provisions in the Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital; (d) extends the term of an Option Award beyond the original Expiry Date (except where an Expiry Date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant or within five business days following the expiry of such a blackout period); (e) permits an Option Award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its Date of Grant (except where an Expiry Date would have fallen within a blackout period of the Corporation); (f) increases or removes the limits on the participation of Directors; (g) permits Awards to be transferred to a Person; (h) changes the eligible participants of the Plan; or (i) deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require approval of shareholders under this Section 12.2.

DOCEBO INC.
Second Amended and Restated Compensation Claw Back Policy
1.Introduction
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Docebo Inc., an Ontario corporation (the “Company”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to adopt this Second Amended and Restated Compensation Claw Back Policy (this “Policy”) providing for the Company’s recoupment of Recoverable Incentive Compensation that is received by Covered Officers of the Company under certain circumstances. This Policy was approved and adopted by the Board on February 27, 2025. Certain capitalized terms used in this Policy have the meanings given to such terms in Section 3 below.
This Policy is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 promulgated thereunder (“Rule 10D-1”) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the “Listing Standards”).
2.Effective Date
This Policy shall apply to all Incentive Compensation that is received by a Covered Officer on or after October 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). Incentive Compensation is deemed “received” in the Company’s fiscal period in which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive Compensation occurs after the end of that period.
3.Definitions
“Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement that the Company is required to prepare due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the applicable securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.
“Accounting Restatement Date” means the earlier to occur of (a) the date that the Board, a committee of the Board authorized to take such action, or the officer or officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, or (b) the date that a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.
“Administrator” means the Compensation Committee or, in the absence of such committee, the Board.
“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
“Compensation Committee” means the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board.



“Covered Officer” means each current and former Executive Officer.
“Exchange” means the Nasdaq Stock Market.
“Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
“Executive Officer” means the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president of the Company in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company. Executive officers of the Company’s parent(s) or subsidiaries are deemed executive officers of the Company if they perform such policy-making functions for the Company. Policy-making function is not intended to include policy-making functions that are not significant. Identification of an executive officer for purposes of this Policy would include at a minimum executive officers identified pursuant to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.
“Financial Reporting Measures” means measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures derived wholly or in part from such measures, including Company stock price and total shareholder return (“TSR”). A measure need not be presented in the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the SEC in order to be a Financial Reporting Measure.
“Incentive Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure.
“Lookback Period” means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Accounting Restatement Date, as well as any transition period (resulting from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period of at least nine months shall count as a completed fiscal year). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lookback Period shall not include fiscal years completed prior to the Effective Date.
“Recoverable Incentive Compensation” means Incentive Compensation received by a Covered Officer during the Lookback Period that exceeds the amount of Incentive Compensation that would have been received had such amount been determined based on the Accounting Restatement, computed without regard to any taxes paid (i.e., on a gross basis without regarding to tax withholdings and other deductions). For any compensation plans or programs that take into account Incentive Compensation, the amount of Recoverable Incentive Compensation for purposes of this Policy shall include, without limitation, the amount contributed to any notional account based on Recoverable Incentive Compensation and any earnings to date on that notional amount. For any Incentive Compensation that is based on stock price or TSR, where the Recoverable Incentive Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement, the Administrator will determine the amount of Recoverable Incentive Compensation based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or TSR upon which the Incentive Compensation was received. The Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the Exchange in accordance with the Listing Standards.
“SEC” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

4.Recoupment
(a)Applicability of Policy. This Policy applies to Incentive Compensation received by a Covered Officer (i) after beginning services as an Executive Officer, (ii) who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for such Incentive Compensation, (iii) while the Company had a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association, and (iv) during the Lookback Period.
(b)Recoupment due to an Accounting Restatement. Pursuant to the provisions of this Policy, if there is an Accounting Restatement, the Company must reasonably promptly recoup the full amount of the Recoverable Incentive Compensation, unless the conditions of one or more subsections of Section 4(d) of this Policy are met and the Compensation Committee, or, if such committee does not consist solely of independent directors, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board, has made a determination that recoupment would be impracticable. Recoupment is required regardless of whether the Covered Officer engaged in any misconduct and regardless of fault, and the Company’s obligation to recoup Recoverable Incentive Compensation is not dependent on whether or when any restated financial statements are filed.
(c)Recoupment due to Non-Financial Material Breach. If the Board determines that a Covered Officer committed a material breach of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Board may direct the Company to recover all or a portion of any bonus or Incentive Compensation or cancel all or part of any equity-based awards granted to such Covered Officer, in each case, during the three year period preceding the discovery by the Board of the material breach.
(d)Impracticability of Recovery. Recoupment may be determined to be impracticable if, and only if:
(i)the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount of the applicable Recoverable Incentive Compensation; provided that, before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Recoverable Incentive Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Company shall make a reasonable attempt to recover such Recoverable Incentive Compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover, and provide that documentation to the Exchange in accordance with the Listing Standards;
(ii)recoupment of the applicable Recoverable Incentive Compensation would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; provided that, before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Recoverable Incentive Compensation based on violation of home country law, the Company shall obtain an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the Exchange, that recoupment would result in such a violation, and shall provide such opinion to the Exchange in accordance with the Listing Standards; or
(iii)recoupment of the applicable Recoverable Incentive Compensation would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(13) or Code Section 411(a) and regulations thereunder.
3



(e)Sources of Recoupment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine the timing and method for recouping Recoverable Incentive Compensation hereunder, provided that such recoupment is undertaken reasonably promptly. The Administrator may, in its discretion, seek recoupment from a Covered Officer from any of the following sources or a combination thereof, whether the applicable compensation was approved, awarded, granted, payable or paid to the Covered Officer prior to, on or after the Effective Date: (i) direct repayment of Recoverable Incentive Compensation previously paid to the Covered Officer; (ii) cancelling prior cash or equity-based awards (whether vested or unvested and whether paid or unpaid); (iii) cancelling or offsetting against any planned future cash or equity-based awards; (iv) forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Code Section 409A; and (v) any other method authorized by applicable law or contract. Subject to compliance with any applicable law, the Administrator may effectuate recoupment under this Policy from any amount otherwise payable to the Covered Officer, including amounts payable to such individual under any otherwise applicable Company plan or program, e.g., base salary, bonuses or commissions and compensation previously deferred by the Covered Officer. The Administrator need not utilize the same method of recovery for all Covered Officers or with respect to all types of Recoverable Incentive Compensation.
(f)No Indemnification of Covered Officers. Notwithstanding any indemnification agreement, applicable insurance policy or any other agreement or provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to the contrary, no Covered Officer shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any enforcement of this Policy by the Company, including paying or reimbursing such Covered Officer for insurance premiums to cover potential obligations to the Company under this Policy.
(g)Indemnification of Administrator. Any members of the Administrator, and any other members of the Board who assist in the administration of this Policy, shall not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy and shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence shall not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board under applicable law or Company policy.
(h)No “Good Reason” for Covered Officers. Any action by the Company to recoup or any recoupment of Recoverable Incentive Compensation under this Policy from a Covered Officer shall not be deemed (i) “good reason” for resignation or to serve as a basis for a claim of constructive termination under any benefits or compensation arrangement applicable to such Covered Officer, or (ii) to constitute a breach of a contract or other arrangement to which such Covered Officer is party.
5.Administration
Except as specifically set forth herein, this Policy shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have full and final authority to make any and all determinations required under this Policy. Any determination by the Administrator with respect to this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties and need not be uniform with respect to each individual covered by this Policy. In carrying out the administration of this Policy, the Administrator is authorized and directed to consult with the full Board or such other committees of the Board as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters within the scope of such other committee’s responsibility and authority. Subject to applicable law, the Administrator may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).

4



6.Severability
If any provision of this Policy or the application of any such provision to a Covered Officer shall be adjudicated to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Policy, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render any such provision or application enforceable.
7.No Impairment of Other Remedies
Nothing contained in this Policy, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated herein, shall limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Covered Officer arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the Covered Officer. This Policy does not preclude the Company from taking any other action to enforce a Covered Officer’s obligations to the Company, including, without limitation, termination of employment and/or institution of civil proceedings. This Policy is in addition to the requirements of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 304”) that are applicable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and to any other compensation recoupment policy and/or similar provisions in any employment, equity plan, equity award, or other individual agreement, to which the Company is a party or which the Company has adopted or may adopt and maintain from time to time; provided, however, that compensation recouped pursuant to this policy shall not be duplicative of compensation recouped pursuant to SOX 304 or any such compensation recoupment policy and/or similar provisions in any such employment, equity plan, equity award, or other individual agreement except as may be required by law.
8.Amendment; Termination
The Administrator may amend, terminate or replace this Policy or any portion of this Policy at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to comply with applicable law or any Listing Standard.
9.Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Officers and, to the extent required by Rule 10D-1 and/or the applicable Listing Standards, their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
10.    Required Filings
    The Company shall make any disclosures and filings with respect to this Policy that are required by law, including as required by the SEC.

Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Industry Background
The corporate LMS market is a subset of the global corporate e-learning market. According to Reports Monitor, the LMS market is projected to reach approximately US$37.9 billion in revenue by the end of 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate of 19.1% between 2021 and 2026.
As companies worldwide continue to face tight labor markets and talent shortages, the need to upskill and reskill employees with learning has become critical to ensure a sustainable and scalable business. As a result of labor shortages and economic conditions impacting hiring and retention, enterprise organizations are increasingly seeing a correlation between providing effective ongoing learning opportunities to employees and improved productivity, higher retention rates and overall employee engagement and work satisfaction. As a result, both global and mid-market enterprises are starting to recognize that e-learning is an integral part of their overall business strategy, driven by changing business needs and technological advancements. We believe the positive impacts to productivity and employee retention within an enterprise following implementation of corporate e-learning solutions have now allowed for these solutions to be considered increasingly core to an enterprise’s operations and productivity, similar to the early stages of adoption for Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), Business Intelligence (“BI”), Collaboration, Supply Chain Management and other Office Productivity software systems.
Re-Thinking the Traditional LMS
Learning technology has evolved from systems built for administrators, designed to host, deliver, track and manage learning content, to secure, cloud-based systems designed for learners, optimized to increase engagement, time spent learning and course completions. Organizations are now fighting to acquire skills, boost productivity, innovate faster, drive revenue, and grow. Docebo is built to meet these tangible business needs and is a powerful tool for administrators and engaging and intuitive for learners.
Learning technology demand and adoption is growing and organizations are recognizing the value learning has on business growth and success. In order to truly create a culture of learning that drives business outcomes, learning platforms are evolving to include features that improve the learner experience such as adaptive and hyper-personalized learning paths, learning in the flow of work and social and community-based learning. Learning platforms are also optimizing the administrator experience with capabilities such as generative AI co-pilot, AI-powered content creation and translation and powerful automations and integrations making it easier than ever to administer scaled learning programs to any audience. With the focus on business impact, it’s critical that learning platforms have the ability to track content and program performance, measure impact on learners and correlate learning to business outcomes.
Social Learning & Community
Social learning is the practice of people learning from one another, through sharing, observation, imitation and modeling. According to the 702010 Institute, 70% of workplace learning is informal, social learning from on-the-job experience; 20% is from coaching, mentoring and interaction with peers; and only 10% is from formal learning. By promoting natural social interactions and collaborative behaviors, social learning encourages higher learner engagement and productivity.


- 7 -
Social and community-based learning tools have become a top priority among enterprises globally, as they seek to facilitate employee engagement and collaboration. Enterprises support the sharing of internally produced, learner-generated knowledge through the use of in-house social sharing tools. When used externally, community tools provide an added space for peer-to-peer learning, helping to empower learners to self-serve.
Knowledge and Skills Management
In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, organizations must continuously manage and develop their knowledge and skills to remain competitive. Modern learning platforms, like Docebo, empower organizations to effectively capture, organize, and share institutional knowledge while aligning learning initiatives with strategic goals.
By providing tools to map skills to roles, identify gaps, and facilitate targeted development plans, Docebo ensures that employees are equipped to meet the demands of their roles and contribute to organizational success. Integrating knowledge sharing with structured skill development supports businesses in fostering innovation, improving productivity, and driving growth. This holistic approach ensures employees not only retain critical knowledge but also acquire the skills needed to adapt to evolving challenges and opportunities.
A Shift to AI-Powered Administrative and Learner Experiences
Docebo believes that AI provides one of the most powerful opportunities for innovation in learning and development. Docebo’s learning platform is powered by AI and includes several AI features throughout the system to enhance the way businesses and enterprises deploy, manage and scale their learning programs. 
Docebo develops AI systems internally as well relies on third party LLMs. Currently, Docebo leverages AI to help administrators discover new content in our Content Marketplace, manage and map skills across content and learners, and automatically generate learning content and auto-graded assessments through our content creation tools. These components are the foundation for our ongoing work with AI, which looks to incorporate new capabilities through generative AI technologies in keeping with our guiding principles for effective and ethical use of AI.
Our guiding principles include:
•A pedagogy-first approach to product development and the use of AI.
•Continuous assessment of learner outcomes through AI, contributing to a comprehensive perspective on learning and content quality. 
•Personalized learning in the flow of work as inevitable outcomes of AI in learning. Docebo is focused on bringing this to our customers through safe, responsible and effective AI. 
•Inspectable, Explainable, Overridable. An effective AI for learning solution never removes humans from processes and outcomes. At Docebo, we design with these three core tenets at the heart of AI product development.
•Freeing users to focus on what matters by designing AI learning solutions that offload repetitive, time-consuming work so that learning designers and administrators can focus on strategically valuable tasks unique to their businesses.
Measuring the Impact of Learning
Docebo takes learning effectiveness seriously, recognizing that it goes beyond quantitative metrics like completion rates and test scores. The emphasis is on leveraging both qualitative and quantitative data to understand the true impact of learning initiatives on individuals and organizations. With ready-to-go questionnaires and built-in reporting, Docebo empowers customers to gather valuable insights that enable data-driven decisions to enhance the overall effectiveness of their training programs.

Docebo’s new insights capabilities further amplify this value by allowing organizations to build custom dashboards from scratch, tailored to their unique business needs and learning goals. This flexibility enables users to visualize data in ways that directly align with their strategic objectives, making it easier to identify trends, pinpoint areas for improvement, and communicate the tangible value of learning programs to stakeholders.
Moreover, Docebo addresses the challenge of breaking down organizational silos by providing a centralized hub for data. This ensures seamless integration of learning data into existing BI and data ecosystems, feeding data warehouses and other analytical tools. Through these capabilities, Docebo enables customers to measure, analyze, and improve learning value from a 360-degree perspective. Organizations can assess everything from learning engagement culture and knowledge retention to skills development, enablement, and business impact.
By demonstrating that learning is a strategic investment with measurable outcomes, Docebo empowers organizations to align their learning strategies with business objectives, driving sustainable growth and innovation.

The Advanced Analytics pack combines two essential tools for organizations ready to elevate their learning data and analytics. It offers seamless integration of learning data into any data ecosystem and BI tool, allowing organizations to incorporate their learning and development data into a central repository. This integration helps them understand how learning impacts their business and contributes to their goals. Additionally, it unlocks a powerful BI tool within the Docebo platform, equipping Learning and Development teams with the resources they need to create customized metrics tailored to their specific needs. With advanced features at their fingertips, teams can confidently make data-driven decisions whenever necessary.

Designed to enhance both knowledge sharing and community interaction, it enriches the overall learning journey by driving collaboration and creating a strong sense of belonging among users.
The eCommerce module allows administrators to monetize from digital training contents, seamlessly managing and selling training offerings—whether it is courses, subscriptions, or content licensing—all from a single platform. With centralized control over pricing, catalog management, and discounts, admins can create public landing pages to boost content visibility and customize learning by branch or group. Learners benefit from flexible purchasing options, including training credits, coupons, and discounts, ensuring a smooth, personalized buying experience through secure transactions across multiple payment gateways.
Docebo Integrations allow organizations to integrate Docebo with other business systems across their tech stack to improve the learner experience, drive efficiencies and scale learning programs. Connect with single sign-on, webinar tools, HR systems and more with off-the-shelf options or build and customize your own integrations and workflows for more unique requirements.
Docebo Headless allows businesses to build learning experiences outside of the Docebo learning environment in their own products or web environments so people can access learning where and when they need it, without having to switch between tools.
AI Authoring is an innovative package that empowers users to create tailored learning content effortlessly. Leveraging advanced AI capabilities, it allows users to generate content either from scratch or through an interactive chatbot experience. Whether crafting bespoke material or automating content creation, AI Authoring adapts to specific needs, ensuring relevance and personalization.

Additional modules can also be purchased for specific use cases and needs, including: “Docebo for Salesforce”, “Docebo Embed (OEM)”, “Docebo Mobile App Publisher”, and “Docebo for Microsoft Teams”. Docebo for Salesforce is a native integration that leverages Salesforce’s API and technology architecture to produce a learning experience that remains uniform no matter the use-case. Docebo Embed (OEM) eliminates disjointed learner experiences, long development cycles and ineffective partner models by allowing original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) to embed and re-sell the Docebo learning platform as a part of their software, including human capital management (“HCM”), risk management and retail/hospitality SaaS products. Docebo’s Mobile App Publisher product allows companies to create their own branded version of the award-winning “Docebo Go.Learn” mobile learning application and publish it as their own in Apple’s App Store, the Google Play Store or in their own Apple Store for Enterprise. Docebo Extended Enterprise breeds customer education, partner enablement, and retention by allowing customers to train multiple external audiences with a single LMS solution. Lastly, Docebo for Microsoft Teams is designed to remove barriers to learning, drive adoption and increase productivity by bringing learning directly into Microsoft Teams, where people at organizations who use this as their collaboration tool, already spend a large part of their time.
The modules and capabilities of our platform interconnect to deliver a holistic value proposition that has contributed to our success in the market, including the ability to:
•Offer hyper-personalized learning experiences to any audience/use case

Docebo’s primary target market is comprised of (i) mid-market enterprises (“MMEs”) that use Docebo in individual divisions or as a global learning platform across their entire enterprise and (ii) larger enterprises for both internal and external use cases. The enterprises in our primary target market are broadly defined as having above 1,000 active users.
In December 2022 Docebo and aTalent, an Asia based leader in performance management, skills and competency, talent, succession and learning & development, expanded the current reseller relationship to an OEM partnership whereby aTalent will embed Docebo’s technology into their HCM suite.
In July 2023, Docebo announced a strategic partnership with OpenSesame, a leading provider of on-demand eLearning courses for enterprises. With more than 20,000 courses from the world’s leading publishers, OpenSesame boasts the broadest catalog of courses in the marketplace. The collaboration enables learning and development professionals to purchase OpenSesame eLearning courses directly from within their Docebo LMS.
In August 2023, Docebo announced a strategic partnership with Darwinbox, an end-to-end, mobile-first, and employee-first HCM platform built for enterprises. Darwinbox serves 850+ enterprises and 2.5 million+ employees across 116+ countries. Darwinbox has embedded the Docebo platform within their product and is marketing it as “Darwinbox LMS (Powered by Docebo)”.
In October 2024, Docebo and TEDAI Vienna, Europe’s inaugural TED conference dedicated entirely to artificial intelligence, announced their partnership for the highly anticipated TEDAI Vienna event. Docebo served as the official business learning partner for the conference, playing a pivotal role in shaping how enterprises and organizations leverage AI to transform workplace learning and development.
In November 2024, Docebo announced a strategic alliance with Deloitte, a leading provider of audit, consulting, tax and advisory services to many of the world’s most admired brands. We expect the alliance will guide companies as they evolve from transactional learning systems into agile and indispensable learning organizations, fully integrated with long-term business growth and operating efficiency.
In October 2024, Docebo expanded on their longstanding partnership with AWS by making the Docebo solutions available for purchase through the AWS Marketplace, allowing customers to get additional value in both their partnership with AWS and Docebo.
We believe our flexible platform is well-suited to support enterprises with particularly fragmented and complex use-cases, giving rise to multi-faceted training requirements such as employee certification, re-skilling, upskilling, knowledge retention, fast onboarding for high growth companies, customer training and partner training.
Growth Strategy
Our goal is to continue growing our business to become the leading provider of cloud-based subscription software applications to enterprises looking for innovative ways to train internal and external workforces, partners and customers as well as retain talent. By doing so, we enable our customers to efficiently and profitably develop and retain their workforces over time and provide them with a competitive advantage. We are focused on expanding our platform capabilities and features and intend to continue increasing our revenue by pursuing a growth strategy that includes the elements noted below.
Grow Enterprise Customer Base
We continue to build our direct sales force to take advantage of the growing demand for corporate learning solutions. We have significantly expanded our direct sales force to focus on MMEs and divisions of larger enterprises and have aligned our sales team’s compensation structure to fit this objective. In addition to expanding our sales force, we have also been able to drive substantial increases in the productivity and effectiveness of our sales personnel over time.


- 11 -
Land-and-Expand (Expansion Within Existing Customer Accounts)
We use a “land-and-expand” strategy to grow sales within businesses, beginning with either departmental deployments or individual learners. Currently, within any one customer account, individual employees, human resource and/or technical departments use our platform. Over the past two years we have increasingly concentrated on improving our efforts to up-sell our products within our existing customer base and we are beginning to yield positive results.
Artificial Intelligence
We believe the deployment of AI into our platform is critical to our ability to scale and differentiate our business over time. By expanding the use-cases of our key algorithms, we believe we can efficiently develop a platform and tools that can evolve to increasingly automate time-consuming administrative functions. One example would be automated course building using available public and private content, significantly reducing the cost and time associated with creating learning content. The Docebo platform currently uses AI in a variety of features, including virtual coach (which provides learners with a unique learning experience), AI-powered deep search (which enhances learning content discoverability), auto-tagging (which makes content easier to find), skill-tagging (which identifies relevant skills from the skills catalog) and personalized suggestions on training materials. Through the implementation of AI into our products, we believe that the nature and scope of learner interaction on our platform will expand considerably.
Build New Products
We have integrated several new features into our cloud-based technology learning platform, including social learning, training delivery and tracking, learning impact evaluation, and new analytics capabilities. We intend to continue to add features to our platform over time, including content catalogs and people analytics, which we believe will provide us the opportunity to generate more revenue from new and existing customers.
Opportunistic Acquisitions
While inorganic growth has not been part of our historical strategy, we selectively consider strategic acquisitions, investments and other relationships that we believe are consistent with our strategy and can significantly enhance the attractiveness of our technology platform or expand our end-markets. This may include acquisitions of teams and capabilities that will not immediately add to revenue, but serve to benefit the long-term growth of the Company.
Since the beginning of 2022, the Company has completed the Skillslive Acquisition, PeerBoard Acquisition and Edugo Acquisition. See “General Development of the Business”.
OEMs & Strategic Alliances
We continue to seek and develop relationships with third-party enterprises that offer differentiated and value-added channels to reach new customer accounts and existing customers. These may include independent referral or bidding relationships, co-selling arrangements, integrated service relationships, reciprocal sub-contracting, one-off projects or certain “white labelling” applications.
Geographic Expansion
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, approximately 76% of our revenue came from customers based in North America. We see a significant opportunity to expand our reach into other regions, with a focus on Europe primarily, as well as the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Australia and New Zealand. We have registered learners in approximately 70 countries globally as of December 31, 2024 and continue to expand our sales teams in both Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to further address these large markets.

Competitive Conditions
The learning and professional skill development market is rapidly evolving, fragmented and highly competitive. We expect to face continued competition in the future as competitors bundle new and more comprehensive offerings with their existing products and services, and as new products and product enhancements are introduced into the e-learning market. The Company faces direct and/or indirect competition from a variety of players, including:
•legacy corporate e-learning service providers such as Cornerstone On Demand and SAP SuccessFactors;
•corporate e-learning service providers such as SAP Litmos, Absorb LMS, MindTickle, Lessonly and SkillJar which offer solutions at comparable prices to our products;
•lower priced solutions such as 360Learning, Thrive, TalentLMS, Totara and LearnUpon;
•individual-focused e-learning services such as LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, Udacity and Pluralsight;
•Specialist providers focused on specific use cases such as Skilljar and Thought Industries (Customer Education), Seismic, Axonify and Schoox (Sales Enablement);
•local consulting firms that customize open source solutions such as Moodle; and
•free solutions such as YouTube and Google.
The competitive factors in Docebo’s principal market include flexibility and scalability across multiple use cases, platform features and functionality, reliability and uptime, scalability, learner experience, brand, service and support for learners and administrators, collaboration and engagement, software integration and third-party publisher partnerships, accessibility across several devices, operating systems and applications, powerful insights and data analytics, continued innovation and application of AI capabilities.
Docebo believes that it competes favourably across these factors and is not inhibited by legacy constraints given the relative nascency of the platform. However, many of Docebo’s competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, access to larger customer bases, larger sales and marketing budgets and significantly greater resources. Moreover, because the Company’s principal market is changing rapidly, it is possible that additional new entrants, especially those with significant resources, more efficient operating models, more rapid technology development cycles and lower marketing costs, could introduce new products and services that disrupt the Company’s principal market and better address the needs of its customers and potential customers. For more information, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business and our Industry”.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property rights are important to our business. The Company has been issued trademark registrations in Canada, the United States, the European Union, and India covering the trademark “DOCEBO”. Docebo protects its intellectual property rights through a combination of trademarks and trade secret laws as well as contractual provisions.
The Company uses non-disclosure agreements with business partners, prospective customers, and other relationships where disclosure of proprietary information may be necessary. We also use such agreements with our employees and consultants which assign to us all intellectual property developed in the course of their employment or engagement. We also secure from such individuals obligations to execute such documentation as is reasonably required by the Company to evidence our ownership of such intellectual property.
We are subject to risks related to our intellectual property. For more information, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business and our Industry”.

Employees
As at December 31, 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 991 employees, 253 of which are in Canada, 396 of which are in Italy, 187 of which are in the United States and 155 of which are located elsewhere.
Except for a limited group of employees located in Italy, none of our employees are represented by a labor organization or are party to a collective bargaining arrangement.
With offices in Toronto (Ontario), Biassono (Italy), Athens and Atlanta (Georgia), London (U.K.), Paris (France), Munich (Germany), Dubai (UAE) and Melbourne (Australia), we are truly a global organization with access to a large pool of talent, as these cities are home to excellent technical and business schools and universities. We recruit our employees in a variety of ways and look for talent that fits within the Company’s culture and is focused on growing with the Company over the long-term. We are also deeply committed to providing an inclusive environment valued on diversity and equality. As noted in the ESG Report, the Company currently has four resource groups to cultivate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion throughout our employee team – Docebo Women’s Alliance, Docebo Pride, Docebo Green Ambassadors, and BIDOC – Black, Indigenous, Docebians of Color. We build industry-leading teams and highly encourage the development of women and other minorities in technology to bring our vision for e-learning to life. Docebo values curious minds, diverse backgrounds, fresh ideas, and those with a commitment to lifelong learning and continuous improvement.
We strive to combine the innovation and agility of a start-up with a history of deep sector expertise and operational proficiency. As a founder-led organization, we pride ourselves on helping pioneer the corporate LMS space, driven by the relentless pursuit of technological innovation and a highly engaged workforce.
Risk Factors
The following information is a summary only of certain risk factors and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and must be read in conjunction with, the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Information Form. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently considers immaterial, may also impair the operations of the Company. If any such risks actually occur, the business, financial condition, or liquidity and results of operations of the Company, and the ability of the Company to pay dividends on the Common Shares, could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to our Business and our Industry
Market adoption of cloud-based learning solutions may not grow as we expect, which may harm our business and results of operations and even if market demand for such solutions increases, the demand for our platform may not increase.
We believe our future success will depend in part on the growth, if any, in the demand for cloud-based learning management solutions, particularly enterprise-grade solutions. The widespread adoption of our platform depends not only on strong demand for new forms of learning management, but also for solutions delivered via a SaaS business model in particular. The market for cloud-based learning solutions is less mature than the market for in-person learning solutions, which many businesses currently use, and these businesses may be slow or unwilling to migrate from these legacy approaches. As such, it is difficult to predict customer demand for our platform, customer adoption and renewal, the rate at which existing customers expand their engagement with our platform, the size and growth rate of the market for our platform, the entry of competitive products into the market, or the success of existing competitive products. Furthermore, even if businesses want to adopt a cloud-based technology learning solution, it may take them a long time to fully transition to this type of learning solution or they could be delayed due to budget constraints, weakening economic conditions, or other factors. A portion of our customer base is comprised of Small and Medium Sized Businesses (“SMBs”). We may experience customer turnover in respect of such SMBs, which are more susceptible than larger businesses to changes in general economic conditions and other risks affecting their businesses, such as uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, including with respect to inflationary pressures, changes in consumer spending, exchange rate fluctuations, and increases of interest rates.


- 14 -
Many of these SMBs may be in the entrepreneurial stage of their development and there is no guarantee that their businesses will succeed. Some businesses may also have long-term contracts with existing vendors and cannot switch in the short term. Even if market demand for cloud-based technology learning solutions generally increases, we can make no assurance that adoption of our platform will also increase. If the market for cloud-based technology learning solutions does not grow as we expect or our platform does not achieve widespread adoption it could result in reduced customer spending, customer attrition, and decreased revenue, any of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations. We further believe that a significant portion of our market capitalization is based on our revenue growth rate. If we are unable to continue growing our revenues, or if new revenues are offset by the rate at which existing customers cancel, do not renew or downgrade their recurring subscriptions (known in the industry as “churn”), our market capitalization may be negatively impacted, which could limit our access to capital, deter potential new investors, and harm our overall business and operations.
If we are not able to develop new platform features that respond to the needs of our customers, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
We pride ourselves on the quality and functionality of our platform. However, we cannot make any assurance that any future features or enhancements that we develop will be successful. The success of any enhancement or new feature depends on several factors, including our understanding of market demand, timely execution, successful introduction, and market acceptance. We may not successfully develop new features or enhance our existing platform to meet customer needs or our new features and enhancements may not achieve adequate acceptance in the market. Additionally, we may not sufficiently increase our revenue to offset the upfront technology, sales and marketing, and other expenses we incur in connection with the development of platform features and enhancements. Any of the foregoing may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic or adverse events, including adverse and uncertain macroeconomic conditions may adversely affect our business, operating results or financial position.
Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other adverse weather and climate conditions; unforeseen public health crises, and other pandemics and epidemics; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, and other political instability; or other catastrophic events, have and could in the future disrupt our operations or the operations of one or more of our third-party providers and vendors.
Additionally, our business and results of operations have been, and may continue to be, impacted by recent adverse and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, including higher inflation, higher interest rates, and fluctuations or volatility in capital markets or foreign currency exchange rates, the collapse of financial institutions and related uncertainty regarding geopolitical events such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and the surrounding area. In particular, we have experienced in certain instances, and may continue to experience, longer sales cycles or generally increased scrutiny on spending from existing and potential customers due to macroeconomic uncertainty. We cannot be certain how long these uncertain macroeconomic conditions and the resulting effects on our industry, our business strategy, and customers will persist.
The market in which we participate is competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our results of operations could be harmed.
The market for professional skill development is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and fragmented, and we expect competition to continue to increase in the future. A significant number of companies have developed, or are developing, products and services that currently, or in the future may, compete with our offerings and be superior. This competition could result in decreased revenue, increased pricing pressure, increased sales and marketing expenses, and loss of market share, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.


- 15 -
We face competition from traditional enterprise SaaS solutions, consumer-centric SaaS solutions, and free solutions. We compete directly or indirectly with:
•legacy corporate e-learning service providers such as Cornerstone On Demand, and SAP SuccessFactors;
•corporate e-learning service providers such as SAP Litmos, Absorb LMS, MindTickle, Lessonly and SkillJar which offer solutions at comparable prices to our products;
•lower priced solutions such as 360Learning, Thrive, TalentLMS, Totara and LearnUpon;
•individual-focused e-learning services such as LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, Udacity and Pluralsight;
•specialist providers focused on specific use cases such as Skilljar and Thought Industries (Customer Education), Seismic, Axonify and Schoox (Sales Enablement)
•local consulting firms that customize open source solutions such as Moodle; and
•free solutions such as YouTube and Google.
Many of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and established customer relationships, access to larger customer bases, and significantly greater resources for the development of their solutions. In addition, we face potential competition from participants in adjacent markets including human capital management solution providers that may enter our markets by leveraging related technologies and partnering with or acquiring other companies or providing alternative approaches to provide similar results. We may also face competition from companies entering our market, including large technology companies that could expand their offerings or acquire one of our competitors. While these companies may not currently focus on our market, they may have significantly greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do. As a result, our competitors and potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, or customer requirements. Further, some potential customers, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop their own internal solutions that address their learning management needs.
Our ability to compete is also subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver learning solutions at lower prices, with greater feature sets, more efficiently, or more conveniently, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future.
Some of our principal competitors offer their solutions at a lower price or for free, which may result in pricing pressures on us. Many of our competitors that offer free solutions are also integrating features found previously only with paid solutions, which puts additional pressure on our pricing and feature development. If we are unable to maintain our pricing levels and competitive differentiation in the market, our results of operations would be negatively impacted.
If for any reason we are not able to develop enhanced and new features, keep pace with technological developments or respond to future disruptive technologies, our business will be harmed.
Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt and innovate. To attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers, we will need to continually enhance and improve our platform and introduce new features. The success of any enhancement or new feature depends on several factors, including timely completion, introduction, and market acceptance. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new features or enhance our existing platform to meet customer needs, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. In addition, because our products are designed to operate on a variety of network, hardware and software platforms using Internet tools and protocols, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our products to keep pace with changes in internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser, and database technologies. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid technological developments, our platform may become less marketable and less competitive or obsolete and our operating results may be negatively impacted.


- 16 -
Finally, our ability to grow is subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver LMS products and services at lower prices, more efficiently or more conveniently, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete.
If we fail to retain key employees or to recruit qualified technical and sales personnel, our business could be harmed.
We believe that our success depends on the continued employment of our senior management and other key employees. In addition, because our future success is dependent on our ability to continue to enhance and introduce new platform features, we are heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel with the requisite education, background, and industry experience. As we expand our business, our continued success will also depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified sales, marketing, and operational personnel capable of supporting a larger and more diverse customer base. We and our competitors continue to face significant turnover in our employee base. Qualified individuals are in high demand in our industry, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. The loss of the services of a significant number of our technology or sales personnel could be disruptive to our business development efforts or customer relationships. In addition, if any of our key employees join a competitor or decides to otherwise compete with us, we may experience a material disruption of our operations and business strategy, which may cause us to lose customers or increase operating expenses and may divert our attention as we seek to recruit replacements for the departed employees. Further, changes we make to our current and future work environments may not meet the needs or expectations of our employees or may be perceived as less favourable compared to other companies’ policies, which could negatively impact our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel. Our future work strategy and continued efforts related to employee onboarding, training and development and retention may not be successful. Further, our future work strategy is continuing to evolve and may not meet the needs of our existing and potential future employees and they may prefer work models offered by other companies.
If our customers do not expand their use of our platform beyond their current organizational engagements or renew their existing contracts with us, our ability to grow our business and improve our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to increase the adoption of our platform by our existing customers and future customers. Many of our customers initially use our platform in specific groups or departments within their organization. In addition, our customers may initially use our platform for a specific use case. Our ability to grow our business depends in part on our ability to persuade customers to expand their use of our platform to address additional use cases. Further, to continue to grow our business, it is important that our customers renew their subscriptions when existing contracts expire and that we expand our relationships with our existing customers. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions, and our customers may decide not to renew their subscriptions with a similar contract period, at the same prices and terms, with the same or a greater number of learners, or at all. In the past, some of our customers have elected not to renew their agreements with us, and it is difficult to accurately predict whether we will have future success in retaining customers or expanding our relationships with them. We offer our customers the flexibility to choose annual or multi-year contract terms. Although our contracts generally contain cancellation penalties, the difficulty and costs associated with switching to a competitor may not be significant for certain customers. New customers joining our platform may also decide not to continue or renew their subscription for reasons outside of our control. We have experienced significant growth in the number of learners of our platform, but we do not know whether we will continue to achieve similar learner growth in the future, or whether learner growth could be offset by increased churn. Our ability to retain our customers and expand our deployments with them may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our platform, our customer support, our prices, the prices and features of competing solutions, reductions in our customers’ spending levels, insufficient learner adoption of our platform, and new feature releases. If our customers do not purchase additional subscriptions or renew their existing subscriptions, renew on less favorable terms, or fail to continue to expand their engagement with our platform, our revenue may decline or grow less quickly than anticipated, which would harm our results of operations.


- 17 -
If we are unable to increase sales of subscriptions to our platform to customers while mitigating the risks associated with serving such customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would suffer.
Our growth strategy is largely dependent upon increasing sales of subscriptions to our platform to our customers. As we seek to increase our sales to our customers, we face upfront sales costs and longer sales cycles, higher customer acquisition costs, more complex customer requirements and volume discount requirements.
We may enter into customized contractual arrangements with our customers in which we offer more favorable pricing terms in exchange for larger total contract values that accompany large deployments. As we drive a greater portion of our revenue through our deployments with customers, we expect that our revenue will continue to grow significantly but the price we charge customers per learner may decline. This may result in reduced margins in the future if our cost of revenue increases. For example, customers may request that we integrate our platform with their existing technologies, and these customization efforts could create additional costs and delays in utilization. In addition, customers often begin to use our platform on a limited basis, but nevertheless require education and interactions with our sales team, which increases our upfront investment in the sales effort with no guarantee that these customers will use our platform widely enough across their organization to justify our upfront investment. As we continue to expand our sales efforts to customers, we will need to continue to increase the investments we make in sales and marketing, and there is no guarantee that our investments will succeed and contribute to additional customer acquisition and revenue growth. If we are unable to increase sales to customers while mitigating the risks associated with serving such customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will suffer.
Failure to effectively expand our sales and marketing capabilities or to select appropriate marketing channels could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform.
Our ability to broaden our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform will depend to a significant extent on the ability of our sales and marketing organizations to work together to drive our sales pipeline and cultivate customer and partner relationships to drive revenue growth. We have invested in and plan to continue expanding our sales and marketing organizations, both domestically and internationally. Identifying, recruiting, and training sales personnel will require significant time, expense, and attention. We also plan to dedicate significant resources to sales and marketing programs, including lead generation activities and brand awareness campaigns, such as search engine and email marketing, online banner and video advertising, learner events, and webinars. If we are unable to hire, develop, and retain talented sales or marketing personnel, if our new sales or marketing personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if we fail to select appropriate marketing channels and our sales and marketing programs are not effective, our ability to broaden our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform could be harmed. In addition, the investments we make in our sales and marketing organization will occur in advance of experiencing benefits from such investments, making it difficult to determine in a timely manner if we are efficiently allocating our resources in these areas.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth and organizational change, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our administrative, operational, and financial resources. In addition, we operate globally, and have employees in Canada, the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other regions. We plan to continue to expand our operations into other countries in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. Additionally, we continue to increase the breadth and scope of our platform and our operations. To support this growth, and to manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve our IT and financial infrastructures, our operating and administrative systems, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and internal processes in an efficient manner. As we continue to grow, so does the size of our customers. The increased resources required to service these relatively large customers may cause us to divert resources away from our existing customers, which may have an adverse impact on our ability to maintain existing customers and our results of operations. Our organizational structure is also becoming more complex as we grow our operational, financial, and management infrastructure and we must continue to improve our internal controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. We intend to continue to invest to expand our business, including investing in technology and sales and marketing operations, hiring additional personnel, improving our internal controls, reporting systems and procedures, and upgrading our infrastructure.


- 18 -
These investments will require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of management resources, and any investments we make will occur in advance of experiencing the benefits from such investments, making it difficult to determine in a timely manner if we are efficiently allocating our resources. If we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the achievement of these benefits is delayed, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our recent rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.
We have grown rapidly over the last several years, and as a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we had a longer history of high sales or operated in a more predictable market. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow, and our business would suffer.
Our growth could be adversely affected if we fail to execute our “land and expand” strategy.
Our revenue and growth are dependent, in part, on our ability to retain customers and sell them additional products and services. While not a focus for us historically, we have invested considerably over the last three years in upselling efforts. Our ability to execute this aspect of our growth strategy will depend on a variety of factors, including:
•customer willingness to accept any price increases;
•the quality and perceived value of our product and service offerings by existing customers;
•effective sales and marketing efforts with respect to existing customers;
•our speed to market and avoidance of difficulties or delays in development of new products and services;
•the successful implementation of products and services; and
•the regulatory needs and requirements facing us and our existing customers.
Our inability to retain existing customers, sell those customers additional products and services, or successfully develop and implement new and enhanced products and services and, accordingly, increase our revenues, could adversely affect our future results of operations.
If we cannot maintain our Company’s culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion, and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success and our business may be harmed.
We believe that a critical component to our success has been our Company’s culture. Our Company is aligned behind our culture and key values and we have invested substantial time and resources in building our team within this culture. Additionally, as we grow we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our Company’s culture. If we fail to preserve our culture, our ability to retain and recruit personnel, our ability to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives, and our business could be harmed.


- 19 -
Our quarterly and annual results of operations may vary significantly and may be difficult to predict. If we fail to meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline.
Our quarterly and annual billings, revenue and results of operations have fluctuated significantly in the past and may vary significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our financial results in any one quarter should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance. We may not be able to accurately predict our future billings, revenue or results of operations. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
•fluctuations in the demand for our platform, and the timing of sales, particularly larger subscriptions;
•our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers;
•changes in customer renewal rates and our ability to increase sales to our existing customers;
•the seasonal buying patterns of our customers;
•the budgeting cycles and internal purchasing priorities of our customers;
•the payment terms and subscription term length associated with our platform sales and their effect on our billings and free cash flow;
•our ability to anticipate or respond to changes in the competitive landscape, including consolidation among competitors;
•the timing of expenses and recognition of revenue;
•the amount and timing of operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;
•the timing and success of new product feature and service introductions by us or our competitors;
•network outages or actual or perceived security breaches;
•changes in laws and regulations that impact our business; and our ability to operate the Company’s business and effectively manage its growth under evolving macroeconomic conditions, such as high inflation and recessionary environments.
If our billings, revenue or results of operations fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts in a particular quarter, or below any guidance that we may provide, the price of our Common Shares could decline.
If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our platform may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Unauthorized access to, or other security breaches of (including malware attacks), our platform or the other systems or networks used in our business, including those of our vendors, contractors, or those with which we have strategic relationships, could result in the loss, compromise or corruption of data, loss of business, reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation, and other liabilities. We have insurance coverage, but this coverage may be insufficient to compensate us for all liabilities that we may incur. Further, an actual or perceived security breach affecting one of our competitors or any other company that provides hosting services or delivers applications under a SaaS model, even if no confidential information of our customers is compromised, may adversely affect the market perception of our security measures and we could lose potential sales and existing customers.


- 20 -
Our platform and the other systems or networks used in our business are also at risk for breaches as a result of third-party action, or employee, vendor, or contractor error or malfeasance. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses to prevent security breaches, including deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, and engaging third-party experts and consultants. However, since the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until after they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period and, therefore, have a greater impact on our platform, the proprietary and other confidential data contained therein or otherwise stored or processed in our operations, and ultimately on our business.
The Company’s management, Audit Committee, and Board are together responsible for the review and oversight of the Company’s privacy, information technology and cyber security risk exposures. To assist in identifying the principal risks faced by the Company, the Audit Committee and the Board receive regular presentations from management assessing the Company’s enterprise risk management framework, including information security risks.
The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact Docebo’s reputation and results of operations.
Docebo’s operations depend on information technology (“IT”) systems. These IT systems could be subject to network disruptions caused by a variety of sources, including computer viruses, security breaches and cyber-attacks, as well as disruptions resulting from incidents such as damage to equipment, natural disasters, terrorism, fire, loss of power, vandalism and theft. Docebo’s operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact Docebo’s reputation and results of operations. Although to date Docebo has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that Docebo will not incur such losses in the future.  Docebo’s risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, Docebo may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.
Privacy, data protection, and information security concerns, and data collection and transfer restrictions and related domestic or foreign regulations, may limit the use and adoption of our platform and adversely affect our business.
Use of our platform involves the storage, transmission, and processing of data from our customers and their employees or other personnel, including certain personal or individually identifying information. Personal privacy, information security, and data protection are significant issues in North America, Europe, and many other jurisdictions where we offer our platform. The regulatory framework governing the collection, processing, storage, and use of business information, particularly information that includes personal data (or otherwise personal information), is rapidly evolving and any failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy, security, or data protection laws, regulations and/or contractual obligations may adversely affect our business.
The Canadian federal and various provincial and territorial and foreign governments have adopted or proposed requirements regarding the collection, distribution, use, security, and storage of personally identifiable information and other data relating to individuals including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), and federal and provincial and territorial consumer protection laws are being applied to enforce regulations related to the online collection, use, and dissemination of data. Some of these requirements include obligations of companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from breaches experienced by us or by our vendors, contractors, or organizations with which we have formed strategic relationships. Even though we may have contractual protections with such vendors, contractors, or other organizations, notifications and follow-up actions related to a security breach could impact our reputation, cause us to incur significant costs, including legal expenses, harm customer confidence, hurt our expansion into new markets, cause us to incur remediation costs, or cause us to lose existing customers.


- 21 -
Further, many foreign countries, including the United States, Australia, and European Union, or EU, where we conduct business, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personal data obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdictions. These laws and regulations can be more restrictive than those in Canada. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses and associated navigation data. The policies and frameworks we use to comply with these laws may be subject to legal challenge by data protection authorities, and we may experience reluctance or refusal by customers to use our platform due to potential risk exposure created by transferring personal data from Europe.
The European General Data Protection Regulations 2016/679 (“GDPR”) took effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR applies to any company established in the EU as well as to those outside the EU if they collect and use personal data through the provision of goods or services to individuals in the EU or monitor their behavior. The GDPR enhances data protection obligations of businesses and provides direct legal obligations for service providers processing personal data on behalf of customers, including with respect to cooperation with European data protection authorities, implementation of security measures and keeping records of personal data processing activities. Noncompliance with the GDPR can trigger fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenues, whichever is higher. Separate EU laws and regulations (and member states’ implementations thereof) govern the protection of consumers and of electronic communications.
We expect that new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security may emerge in the United States, the EU, and other jurisdictions. These and other requirements could reduce demand for our platform, increase our costs, impair our ability to grow our business, restrict our ability to store and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability to offer our platform in some locations and may subject us to additional liabilities. Further, in view of new or modified federal, state, or foreign laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations, and other legal obligations, or any changes in their interpretation, we may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to modify our platform and otherwise adapt to these changes. We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner, or at all, and our ability to develop new features could be limited.
The costs of compliance with and other burdens imposed by laws, regulations, and standards may limit the use and adoption of and reduce overall demand for our platform, or lead to significant fines, penalties, or liabilities for any noncompliance. Privacy, information security, and data protection concerns, actual and perceived, may inhibit market adoption of our platform, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries.
Negative publicity and sharing of information through social media could result in damage to the Company’s reputation and its business may suffer as a result.
There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms and similar channels, including blogs, social media websites and other forms of internet-based communications that provide individuals with access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. The availability and impact of information on social media platforms is virtually immediate and the accuracy of such information is not independently verified. The opportunity for dissemination of information, including inaccurate information, is seemingly limitless and readily available. The Company’s reputation is important for attracting new customers as well as selling additional services to existing customers. While the Company believes that it has a good reputation and that it provides its clients with a superior experience, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to maintain a good relationship with its customers or avoid negative publicity. Negative posts or comments about the Company or its business on the internet or any social networking website or platform could damage the Company’s reputation. In addition, despite our efforts to educate and inform our employees regarding confidential information, they or others may disclose non-public material information relating to the Company’s business through these channels.


- 22 -
Regulatory requirements placed on our software and services could impose increased costs on us, delay or prevent our introduction of new products and services and impair the function or value of our existing products and services.
Our products and services are currently subject to various regulatory requirements, including laws, regulations and policies that govern the amount and type of taxes we are required to collect and remit, including with respect to internet transactions with customers in jurisdictions in which we do not have a physical presence. New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances applicable to solutions provided over the internet could be enacted at any time by any local, regional, or national governmental authority, possibly with retroactive effect. Recent jurisprudence of the U.S. Supreme Court requires that online retailers collect sales and use taxes imposed by various U.S. states, even if the retailer has no physical presence in that state. We may also be subject to anti-spam laws, regulations, and policies. In Canada, the regulatory authority responsible for enforcement of Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”) has issued a bulletin that signals broad potential liability for electronic intermediaries (such as hosting providers and SaaS providers) for failing to take sufficient steps to stop third parties from using intermediary services and facilities to violate CASL, including prohibitions on sending electronic marketing messages or installing computer programs without consent.
Our business may become subject to increasing regulatory requirements, and as these requirements proliferate, we may be required to change or adapt our products and services to comply. Changing regulatory requirements might render our products and services obsolete or might block us from developing new products and services. This might in turn impose additional costs upon us to comply or to further develop our products and services. It might also make introduction of new products and services more costly or more time-consuming than we currently anticipate and could even prevent introduction by us of new products or services or cause the continuation of our existing products or services to become more costly. Accordingly, such regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, as with many innovations, machine learning and AI present additional risks and challenges that could affect their adoption and therefore our business. For example, the development of machine learning and AI present emerging governance and transparency issues, including with respect to ethics and human rights, and if we enable or offer solutions on this front that are controversial, due to their impact, or perceived impact, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. New regulations or standards have been or may be adopted in the space of AI such as the Draft Bill C-27 (Canada), which includes the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act in Canada (June 2022) and the EU AI Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024 and includes a transitional period to be compliant with the law up to 24 months after its official publication. In the U.S., the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) released, on January 26, 2023, the non-binding AI Risk Management Framework in the design, development, use and evaluation of AI products, services, and systems. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission issued several publications to set forth ground rules for AI development and can use its existing authority under various existing consumer protection laws to expand AI enforcement. The growing focus on AI regulations and guidelines may increase the burden and cost of research and development in this area, including by causing us to incur significant costs in order to adapt certain components of our platform to the requirements for the use of AI systems, subjecting us to brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, legal liability, or regulatory penalties. It may also restrict our or our customers’ ability to fully utilize AI and machine learning technologies as a result of legal and regulatory restrictions on data governance, including data collection and processing. Also, our positions on social and ethical issues may impact our ability to attract or retain employees, customers, other users and overall affect our public perception. In particular, our brand and reputation are associated with our public commitments to sustainability, equality, inclusivity, accessibility, and ethical use, and any perceived changes in our dedication to these commitments could impact our relationships with potential and current customers and other users. We cannot determine the impact these emerging and future laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. Such laws, regulations and standards are often subject to differing interpretations and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions, leading to uncertainty about how government or regulatory authorities will assess our AI practices.


- 23 -
Our sales to government entities are subject to a number of challenges and risks, which could negatively impact our business.
We sell to U.S. and Canadian government customers. Sales to such entities, whether direct or indirect, are subject to a number of challenges and risks. Selling to such entities can be highly competitive, expensive, and time-consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that these efforts will generate a sale. Contracting with certain federal government entities (or higher-tier contractors to such entities) requires additional compliance from us and our offerings, including with contractual requirements, regulations, and executive orders; compliance with such requirements may require us to change certain of our operations and involve significant effort and expense, which could harm our margins, business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we fail to achieve compliance with these standards and requirements, we may be disqualified from selling our offerings to such governmental entities, or be at a competitive disadvantage, which would harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Government contracting requirements may also change and in doing so restrict our ability to sell into the government sector until we have complied with such requirements. Further, achieving and maintaining certain government certifications, such as U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (“FedRAMP”) authorization for our product offerings, may require significant upfront cost, time, and resources. FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program providing a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. We are in the process of seeking FedRAMP authorization for certain of our product offerings. If we do not obtain this authorization, we will not be able to sell our products, directly or indirectly, to certain federal government and other public sector customers as well as private sector customers that require such certification for their intended use cases, which could harm our growth, business, and results of operations. This may also harm our competitive position against larger enterprises whose competitive offerings are FedRAMP authorized. Further, there can be no assurance that we will secure commitments or contracts with government entities even if we obtain such certifications, which could harm our margins, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Government demand and payment for our offerings have been and may in the future be negatively impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, such as federal government shutdowns, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our offering.
Further, governmental entities or their contractors may demand contract terms that differ from our standard arrangements and are less favorable than terms agreed with private sector customers. Such entities may have statutory, contractual or other legal rights to terminate contracts with us or our partners for convenience or for other reasons, some of which may be outside our control. Any termination for default/cause may adversely affect our ability to contract with other government customers as well as our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Governments and whistleblowers routinely investigate and audit government contractors’ administrative processes and compliance with applicable legal requirements. An unfavorable investigation or audit could result in the government refusing to continue buying our subscriptions, a reduction of revenue, suspension or debarment from government contracting, or fines or civil or criminal liability if the audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, including under the False Claims Act, which could adversely affect our results of operations and reputation.
Additionally, we generally contract with government customers through the indirect sales channel (i.e., resellers and distributors). Accordingly, a large majority of our revenue from public sector customers comes from a small number of distribution and resale partners. This concentration presents a risk of lost revenue in the case of a partner’s bankruptcy, a dispute, nonpayment, or other business disruptions, as well as a risk of loss of access to certain public sector customers if a partner shuts down for any reason, or is suspended or debarred from government contracting in the event of their noncompliance with their own contractual and regulatory requirements. The loss of a reseller with which we do a substantial amount of business, together with our inability to replace them, could negatively impact our business, growth, financial condition and results of operations.

We recognize revenue from subscriptions over the term of our customer contracts, and as such our reported revenue and billings may differ significantly in a given period, and our revenue in any period may not be indicative of our financial health and future performance.
We recognize revenue from subscriptions rateably over the subscription term of the underlying customer contract. Our billings are recorded upon invoicing for access to our platform, and thus a significant portion of the billings we report in each quarter, are generated from customer agreements entered and invoiced during the period. As a result, much of the revenue we report each quarter is derived from contracts that we entered into with customers in prior periods. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any quarter will not be fully reflected in revenue or other results of operations in that quarter but will negatively affect our revenue and other results of operations across future quarters. It is difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue from additional billings in a given period. Any increases in the average term of subscriptions would result in revenue for those contracts being recognized over longer periods of time with less positive impact on our results of operations in the near term. Accordingly, our revenue in any given period may not be an accurate indicator of our financial health and future performance.
Our sales cycles can be unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable time and expense. As a result, the timing of our billings and revenue are difficult to predict and may vary substantially from period to period, which may cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly.
Our results of operations may fluctuate, in part, because of the resource intensive nature of our sales efforts, the length and variability of our sales cycle, and difficulty in adjusting our operating expenses in the short term. The length of our sales cycle, from identification of the opportunity to delivery of access to our platform, can vary from customer to customer, with sales to larger businesses typically taking longer to complete. In addition, as we increase our sales to larger businesses, we face longer more complex customer requirements, and substantial upfront sales costs. With larger businesses, the decision to subscribe to our platform frequently requires the approvals of multiple management personnel and more technical personnel than would be typical of a smaller organization and, accordingly, sales to larger businesses may require us to invest more time educating these potential customers. Purchases by larger businesses are also frequently subject to budget constraints and unplanned administrative, processing, and other delays, which means we may not be able to come to agreement on the terms of the sale to larger businesses. If there is a reduction in information technology spending, due to weak economic conditions or otherwise, it may take several months, or even several quarters, for marketing opportunities to materialize.
To the extent our competitors develop products that our prospective customers view as equivalent or superior to our platform, our average sales cycle may increase. Additionally, if a key sales member leaves our employment or if our primary point of contact at a customer or potential customers leaves his or her employment, our sales cycle may be further extended or customer opportunities may be lost. As a result of the buying behavior of enterprises and the efforts of our sales force and partners to meet or exceed their sales objectives by the end of each fiscal quarter, we may generate a substantial portion of billings towards the end of each fiscal quarter. If a customer’s decision to purchase our platform is delayed or if the implementation of our platform takes longer than originally anticipated, the date on which we may recognize revenues from these transactions may be delayed. The unpredictability of the timing of customer purchases, particularly large purchases, could cause our billings and revenue to vary from period to period or to fall below expected levels for a given period, which will adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We may not receive significant revenue as a result of our current research and development efforts.
We reinvest a large percentage of our revenue in research and development, including AI. Our investment in our current research and development efforts may not provide a sufficient, timely return. We make and will continue to make significant investments in software research and development and related product opportunities. Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative. Commercial success depends on many factors including the degree of innovation of the products developed through our research and development efforts, sufficient support from our strategic partners, and effective distribution and marketing. Accelerated product introductions and short product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and development. These expenditures may materially adversely affect our operating results if they are not offset by revenue increases.


- 25 -
We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts in order to maintain our competitive position. However, significant revenue from new product and service investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, new products and services may not be profitable.
We believe our long-term success depends in part on continuing to expand our international sales and operations and we are therefore subject to a number of risks associated with international sales and operations.
We intend to continue expanding our international operations. In order to maintain and expand our sales internationally, we need to hire and train experienced personnel to staff and manage our foreign operations. To the extent that we experience difficulties in recruiting, training, managing, and retaining international staff, and specifically sales and marketing personnel, we may experience difficulties in growing our international sales.
Additionally, our international sales are subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the following:
•unexpected costs and errors in tailoring our products for individual markets, including translation into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices;
•difficulties in adapting to customer desires due to language and cultural differences;
•new and different sources of competition;
•increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;
•increased expenses associated with international sales and operations, including establishing and maintaining office space and equipment for our international operations;
•lack of familiarity and burdens of complying with foreign laws, legal standards, privacy standards, regulatory requirements, tariffs, and other barriers;
•greater difficulty in enforcing contracts and accounts receivable collection and longer collection periods;
•practical difficulties of enforcing intellectual property rights in countries with fluctuating laws and standards and reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
•unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxes, trade laws, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties, or other trade restrictions, including the possibility of tariffs imposed by the U.S. federal government on the sale of Canadian software, which could have a direct or indirect impact on our international sales;;
•limitations on technology infrastructure, which could limit our ability to migrate international operations to our existing systems, which could result in increased costs;
•difficulties in managing and staffing international operations and differing employer/employee relationships and local employment laws;
•fluctuations in exchange rates that may increase the volatility of our foreign-based revenue; and
•potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax (or other tax) systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings.
Additionally, operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. We plan to continue investing substantial time and resources to expand our international operations, but we cannot be certain that these investments will produce desired levels of revenue or profitability. Furthermore, the imposition of tariffs by the United States or other governments (including the Canadian government) could have a significant impact on the industries in which our current and potential customers operate, which could result in reduced customer spending and decreased revenue.


- 26 -
These factors and other factors could harm our ability to gain future international revenue and, consequently, materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We may face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which may affect certain of our key performance indicators and our results of operations.
Revenues and operating expenses outside of Canada are often denominated in local functional currencies. Additionally, as we expand our international operations, we report our financial results in US dollars. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, including but not limited to the Canadian dollar, when translated into US dollars may have a significant impact on certain of our key performance indicators, including but not limited to our Annual Recurring Revenue, or otherwise affect our results of operations. We do not currently engage in currency hedging activities to limit the risk of unfavourable exchange rate fluctuations. In the future, we may use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts, to hedge certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The use of such hedging activities may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.
If we fail to manage our hosting network infrastructure capacity, our existing customers may experience service outages and our new customers may experience delays in accessing our platform.
We host our platform on data centers provided by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), a provider of cloud infrastructure services. Our operations depend on the virtual cloud infrastructure hosted in AWS as well as the information stored in these virtual data centers and which third-party internet service providers transmit. Although we have disaster recovery plans that utilize multiple AWS locations, any incident affecting their infrastructure that may be caused by fire, flood, severe storm, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized intrusion, computer viruses, disabling devices, natural disasters, war, criminal act, military actions, terrorist attacks, and other similar events beyond our control could negatively affect the availability and reliability of our platform. A prolonged AWS service disruption affecting our platform for any of the foregoing reasons or the termination of our relationship with AWS could damage our reputation with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers, or otherwise harm our business. We may also incur significant costs for using alternative equipment or taking other actions in preparation for, or in reaction to, events that damage the AWS services we use.
AWS enables us to order and reserve server capacity in varying amounts and sizes distributed across multiple regions and provides us with computing and storage capacity pursuant to an agreement that continues until terminated by either party. AWS may terminate the agreement by providing 30 days prior written notice and may, in some cases, terminate the agreement immediately for cause upon notice. Any disruption of our use of, or interference with, AWS would adversely affect our operations and business.
We have experienced significant growth in the number of learners, transactions, and data that our hosting infrastructure supports. We seek to maintain sufficient excess capacity in our hosting network infrastructure to meet the needs of all of our customers. However, the provision of new hosting infrastructure may require significant lead time and resources. If we do not accurately predict our infrastructure capacity requirements, our existing clients may experience service outages that may adversely impact our results of operations and lead to customer losses. If our hosting infrastructure capacity fails to keep pace with increased sales, customers may experience delays as we seek to obtain additional capacity, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our revenue growth.
We rely upon SaaS technologies from third parties to operate our business, and interruptions or performance problems with these technologies may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We rely on hosted SaaS applications from third parties in order to operate critical functions of our business, including platform delivery, enterprise resource planning, CRM, billing, project management, and accounting and financial reporting. If these services become unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions, or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage finances could be interrupted, and our processes for managing sales of our platform and supporting our customers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are identified, obtained, and implemented, all of which could adversely affect our business.


- 27 -
Our growth depends in part on the success of our relationships with third party vendors and suppliers.
We anticipate that the growth of our business will continue to depend on third-party relationships, including relationships with our suppliers, app developers, theme designers and referral sources.
Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with third party vendors and suppliers requires significant time and resources as does integrating third-party technology. Our agreements with providers of cloud hosting, technology, and consulting services are typically non-exclusive and do not prohibit such service providers from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. These third-party providers may choose to terminate their relationship with us or to make material changes to their businesses, products or services in a manner that is adverse to us.
The success of our platform depends, in part, on our ability to integrate third-party applications, themes and other offerings into our third-party ecosystem. Third-party developers may also change the features of their offering of applications and themes or alter the terms governing the use of their offerings in a manner that is adverse to us. If third- party applications and themes change such that we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our platform with these applications and themes, or if we fail to provide third-party applications and themes that our customers desire to add to their businesses, demand for our platform could decline. If we are unable to maintain technical interoperation, our customers may not be able to effectively integrate our platform with other systems and services they use. We may also be unable to maintain our relationships with certain third-party vendors if we are unable to integrate our platform with their offerings. In addition, third-party developers may refuse to partner with us or limit or restrict our access to their offerings. Such changes could functionally limit or terminate our ability to use these third-party offerings with our platform, which could negatively impact our solution offerings and harm our business. If we fail to integrate our platform with new third-party offerings that our customers need for their businesses, or to adapt to the data transfer requirements of such third-party offerings, we may not be able to offer the functionality that our customers and their clients expect, which would negatively impact our offerings and, as a result, harm our business.
Further, our competitors may effectively incentivize third-party developers to favor our competitors’ products or services, which could diminish our prospects for collaborations with third-parties and reduce subscriptions to our platform. In addition, providers of third-party offerings may not perform as expected under our agreements and we may in the future have disagreements or disputes with such providers. If any such disagreements or disputes cause us to lose access to products or services from a particular supplier or lead us to experience a significant disruption in the supply of products or services from a current supplier, especially a single-source supplier, they could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with strategic partners as well as our ability to successfully integrate our platform with third party applications.
In addition to growing our direct sales channels, we intend to pursue additional relationships with strategic partners, which includes OEMs, Value Added Resellers, system integrators and service partners. Identifying the proper strategic partners will be essential to this growth strategy. Negotiating and documenting relationships with appropriate strategic partners will require significant time and resources, as will integrating third-party content and technology. Our agreements with strategic partners may not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to strategic partners to favour their products or services or to prevent or reduce subscriptions to our solution, including through a simple integration. In addition, these distributors and providers may not perform as expected under our agreements, and we have had, and may in the future have, disagreements or disputes with such distributors and providers, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation. In addition, acquisitions of our strategic partners by our competitors or acquisitions by our strategic partners of our competitors could end our strategic relationship with the acquired or strategic partner and result in a decrease in the number of our current and potential customers. For example, in January 2024, an OEM partner that contributed approximately 9% of our 2023 revenue announced that it had acquired a competitive learning experience platform software provider.


- 28 -
We took legal measures to enforce the terms of the agreement, and the parties amicably resolved the dispute on a confidential basis and agreed to dismiss the litigation. However, we expect the OEM customer to favor its acquired product for its end customers over time, which we expect will result in reduced subscriptions for our solutions and negative impacts to our growth rate, which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our strategic partnerships, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results could suffer. Even if we are successful, there can be no assurance that these relationships will result in improved operating results. A global economic slowdown and other factors could also adversely affect the businesses of our strategic partners, and it is possible that they may not be able to devote the resources we expect to the relationship.
We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows in the past and may incur operating losses in the future.
Throughout most of our history, we have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had an operating profit of approximately $21.3 million and positive cash flow from operating activities, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, we had an operating loss of approximately $3.7 million and positive cash flows from operating activities. We expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. Furthermore, as a dual listed public company, we incur legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, or as a public company listed only on one exchange. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we will not be profitable. We can make no assurance that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Recent revenue growth should not be considered as indicative of our future performance.
If we do not maintain the compatibility of our solutions with third-party applications that our customers use in their business processes, demand for our solutions could decline.
Our solutions can be used alongside a wide range of other systems, such as enterprise software systems and business software applications used by our customers in their businesses. If we do not support the continued integration of our solutions with third-party applications, including through the provision of application programming interfaces that enable data to be transferred readily between our solutions and third-party applications, demand for our solutions could decline, and we could lose sales. We will also be required to make our solutions compatible with new or additional third-party applications that are introduced into the markets that we serve. We may not be successful in making our solutions compatible with these third-party applications, which could reduce demand for our solutions. In addition, prospective customers, especially large enterprise customers, may require heavily customized features and functions unique to their business processes. If prospective customers require customized features or functions that we do not offer, then the market for our solutions will be adversely affected.
If we are not able to keep pace with technological developments or new versions or updates of operating systems and internet browsers adversely impact the process by which our customers interface with our platform, our business will be harmed.
As our platform is designed to operate on a variety of network, hardware, and software platforms using internet tools and protocols, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our platform to keep pace with changes in internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser, and database technologies. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid technological developments, our platform may become obsolete, which would adversely impact our results of operations.
In addition, the industry in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent introductions of new products and evolving industry standards. Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from customers will depend in significant part on our ability to anticipate industry standards and to continue to enhance existing solutions or introduce or acquire new solutions on a timely basis to keep pace with technological developments. The success of any enhancement or new solution depends on several factors, including the timely completion and market acceptance of the enhancement or new solution. Any new solution we develop or acquire might not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner and might not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue.


- 29 -
If any of our competitors implements new technologies before we are able to implement them, those competitors may be able to provide more effective solutions than ours at lower prices.
If we fail to develop, maintain, and enhance our brand and reputation cost-effectively, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We believe that developing, maintaining, and enhancing awareness and integrity of our brand and reputation in a cost-effective manner are important to achieving widespread acceptance of our platform and are important elements in maintaining existing customers and attracting new customers. We believe that the importance of our brand and reputation will increase as competition in our market further intensifies. Successful promotion of our brand will depend on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, our ability to provide a reliable and useful platform at competitive prices, the perceived value of our platform, and our ability to provide quality customer support. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building and maintaining our brand and reputation. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand successfully or to maintain loyalty among our customers, or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, we may fail to retain our existing customers and partners or attract new customers and partners and our business and financial condition may be adversely affected. Any negative publicity relating to our employees, partners, or other parties associated with us or them, may also tarnish our own reputation simply by association and may reduce the value of our brand. Damage to our brand and reputation may result in reduced demand for our platform and increased risk of losing market share to our competitors. Any efforts to restore the value of our brand and rebuild our reputation may be costly and may not be successful.
Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors or customers could weaken our competitive position, which could harm our results of operations.
Some of our competitors may enter into new alliances with each other or may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with systems integrators, third-party consulting firms or other parties, thereby limiting our ability to promote our products. Any such consolidation, acquisition, alliance, or cooperative relationship could lead to pricing pressure and our loss of market share and could result in a competitor with greater financial, technical, marketing, service, and other resources, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Consolidation within our existing and target markets as a result of mergers or other strategic transactions may also create uncertainty among customers as they realign their businesses and impact new sales and renewal rates. For example, mergers or strategic transactions by potential or existing customers may delay orders for our products and services or cause the use of our products to be discontinued, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate reduced revenue, or experience slower growth rates, and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.
The LMS industry is characterized by a large number of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights. Our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting our proprietary information and technology. We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, intellectual property assignment agreements, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and employee non-disclosure and invention assignment agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate. We will not be able to protect our intellectual property if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect and mitigate unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our platform and use information that we regard as proprietary to create solutions that compete with ours. Policing unauthorized use of our platform is difficult and the steps we take to combat such actions may prove ineffective. Some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of our platform may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries. Further, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of Canada, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights in some foreign countries may be inadequate.


- 30 -
To the extent we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our platform and proprietary information may increase. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our technology and intellectual property.
We rely in part on trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and other confidential information to maintain our competitive position. Although we enter into intellectual property assignment agreements or license agreements with our employees and contractors, confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants, and confidentiality agreements with the parties with whom we have strategic relationships and business alliances, no assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to, and distribution of, our platform and proprietary information. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our platform.
To protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Such litigation could be costly, time-consuming, and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our platform, impair the functionality of our platform, delay introductions of new platform features, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our platform, or injure our reputation. In addition, we may be required to license additional technology from third parties to develop and market new platform features or services, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to license that technology on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and our inability to license this technology could harm our ability to compete.
An assertion by a third-party that we are infringing its intellectual property could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation which could harm our business.
Our success depends in part upon our not infringing the intellectual property rights of others. However, our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our industry or, in some cases, our technology.
In the past, third parties have claimed that we were infringing their intellectual property rights. Such claims may reoccur in the future, and we may actually be found to be infringing on such rights. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses, and if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing revenue share payments, indemnify our customers or distributors, obtain licenses, modify products, or refund fees, any of which would deplete our resources and adversely impact our business.
The use of open source software in our products may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property.
We have in the past and may in the future leverage open source software components in our development processes. These components are developed by third parties over whom we have no control. We have no assurances that those components do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. We could be exposed to infringement claims, security vulnerabilities and liability in connection with the use of those open source software components, and we may be forced to replace those components with internally developed software or software obtained from another supplier, which may increase our expenses. The developers of open source software are usually under no obligation to maintain or update that software and we may be forced to maintain or update such software ourselves or replace such software with internally developed software or software obtained from another supplier, which may increase our expenses. Making such replacements could also delay enhancements to our products. Certain open source software licenses provide that the licensed software may be freely used, modified and distributed to others provided that any modifications made to such software including the source code to such modifications, are also made available under the same terms and conditions.


- 31 -
As a result, any modifications we make to such software will be available to all downstream learners of the software, including our competitors.
Certain open source licenses (“Reciprocal Licenses”) provide that if we wish to combine the licensed software, in whole or in part, with our proprietary software, and distribute copies of the resulting combined work, we may only do so if such copies are distributed under the same terms and conditions as the open source software component of the work that was licensed to us, including the requirement to make the source code to the entire work available to recipients of such copies. The types of combinations of open source software and proprietary code that are covered by the requirement to release the source code to the entire combined work are uncertain and much debated by learners of open source software. There is little or no legal precedent governing the interpretation of many of the terms of these licenses. An incorrect determination as to whether a combination is governed by such provisions will result in non-compliance with the terms of the open source license. Such non-compliance could result in the termination of our license to use, modify and distribute copies of the affected open source software and we may be forced to replace such open source software with internally developed software or software obtained from another supplier, which may increase our expenses. In addition to terminating the affected open source license, the licensor of such open source software may seek to have a court order that the proprietary software that was combined with the open source software be made available to others, including our competitors, under the terms and conditions of the applicable open source license. For those reasons, we have instituted policies and practices which are intended to govern and limit the use of open source software that is distributed under the terms of a Reciprocal License.
In addition to risks related to license requirements, usage of open source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties, controls on the origin or development of the software, or remedies against the licensors. Many of the risks associated with usage of open source software cannot be eliminated and could adversely affect our business.
Risks and challenges with the use of AI in our platform, including flawed algorithms, insufficient data sets and biased information, may result in reputational harm or liability.
Our platform uses AI, and we expect to continue building AI into our platform in the future. We envision a future in which AI operates within our cloud-based platform to offer an efficient and effective e-learning solution for our customers. As with many disruptive innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by us or others could impair the acceptance, utility and effectiveness of AI solutions. Our management aims to mitigate these risks through the development, implementation and ongoing review of an AI governance policy that aligns with our values, adheres to legal and regulatory standards and promotes the safety and well-being of various internal and external stakeholders. Our Board oversees these efforts, taking into account ethical considerations, mitigating exposure to any related material risks and participating in relevant Board education. Nonetheless, these deficiencies could undermine the decisions, predictions, or analysis AI applications produce, subjecting us to competitive harm, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. If we enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial because of their impact on human rights, privacy, employment, equity, accessibility or other social issues, we may experience brand or reputational harm. Also, decisions by our current suppliers of AI infrastructure, whether made voluntarily or compelled by external factors or regulatory requirements, to limit the provision of their services may result in our inability to procure alternatives from other suppliers in a timely and efficient manner or at all, and could adversely affect our ability to develop and operate AI systems for our customers.
Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our platform could harm our business and results of operations.
Errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may occur in our platform, especially when updates are deployed or new features are rolled out. In addition, utilization of our platform in complicated, large-scale customer environments may expose errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our platform. Any such errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs may not be found until after they are deployed to our customers. As a provider of learning management solutions, our brand and reputation is particularly sensitive to such errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs.


- 32 -
Real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our platform could result in negative publicity, loss of competitive position, loss of customer data, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, or claims by customers for losses sustained by them, all of which could harm our business and results of operations.
If we are unable to successfully refresh or update our source code or other aspects of our platform or detect and adequately address technological deficiencies in a timely and adequate manner, our competitive position could be negatively affected.
Our competitiveness depends, in part, on our ability to deliver an up-to-date learner interface and to promptly address technical deficiencies in a timely and efficient manner. Updates to our source code and other aspects of our platform require significant investment and we may not have the resources to make such investment. We may not be able to expand and upgrade our personnel, technology systems and infrastructure to accommodate increases in our business activity in a timely manner, which could lead to operational breakdowns and delays, loss of customers, a reduction in the growth of our customer base, increased operating expenses or financial losses.
Our products and services are complex and sophisticated and may contain design defects or errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors or defects may be found in new products or services after launch and, even if discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct such errors or defects in a timely manner or at all, which could adversely impact our business.
From time to time, we may become defendants in legal proceedings for which we are unable to assess our exposure and which could become significant liabilities in the event of an adverse judgment.
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial, product liability, employment, class action and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the results of any such actions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm our relationships with our customers and our results of operations.
Our customers depend on our customer support teams to resolve technical and operational issues if and when they arise. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for customer support. Customer demand for support may also increase as we expand the features available on our platform. Increased customer demand for customer support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and harm our results of operations. In addition, as we continue to expand our customer base, we need to be able to provide efficient and effective customer support that meets our customers’ needs and expectations globally at scale. The number of our customers has grown significantly, which puts additional pressure on our support organization. In order to meet these needs, we have relied in the past and will continue to rely on self-service customer support to resolve common or frequently asked questions, which supplement our customer support teams. If we are unable to provide efficient and effective customer support globally at scale including through the use of self-service support, our ability to grow our operations may be harmed and we may need to hire additional support personnel, which could harm our margins and results of operations. Our sales are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain high- quality customer support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality customer support, could harm our reputation, our ability to sell our platform to existing and prospective customers, our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Adverse economic and market conditions and reductions in IT spending may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown in one or more of our major markets, could adversely affect demand for our platform. As certain of our customers or potential customers experience downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue resulting from the current macroeconomic conditions, such as inflationary pressures, they have and may continue to decrease or delay their technology spending, request pricing concessions or payment extensions, or seek renegotiations of their contracts.


- 33 -
Subscriptions for our platform may be considered discretionary by many of our current and potential customers. As a result, businesses considering whether to purchase or renew subscriptions to our products may be influenced by macroeconomic factors.
In addition, recent events in the financial markets have demonstrated that businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, financial developments seemingly unrelated to us or to our industry may materially adversely affect us over the course of time. Volatility in the market price of our Common Shares due to seemingly unrelated financial developments could hurt our ability to raise capital for the financing of acquisitions or other reasons. Potential price inflation caused by an excess of liquidity in countries where we conduct business may increase the cost we incur to provide our solutions and may reduce profit margins on agreements that govern our provision of products or services to customers over a multi-year period. A reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity, may materially adversely affect businesses and industries that collectively constitute a significant portion of our customer base. As a result, these customers may need to reduce their purchases of our products or services, or we may experience greater difficulty in receiving payment for the products or services that these customers purchase from us. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in world financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial conditions.
We incur increased costs as a result of being a public company in the United States, and our management is required to devote substantial time to United States public company compliance efforts.
As a public company in the United States, we incur additional legal, accounting, Nasdaq, reporting and other expenses that we did not incur as a public company in Canada. The additional demands associated with being a U.S. public company may disrupt regular operations of our business by diverting the attention of some of our senior management team away from revenue-producing activities to additional management and administrative oversight, adversely affecting our ability to attract and complete business opportunities and increasing the difficulty in both retaining professionals and managing and growing our business. Any of these effects could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If our efforts to comply with new United States laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, such regulatory bodies or third parties may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected. As a public company in the United States, it is more expensive for us to maintain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to continue our coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified directors.
The U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002, as amended (the “U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Pursuant to Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”), we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), which must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm.
To maintain compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will continue to document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources and potentially engage outside consultants to continue to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, improve our control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and maintain our continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude within the prescribed timeframe that our ICFR is effective as required by Section 404. This could result in a determination that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, which could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, in the event that we are not able to demonstrate compliance with the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate, or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results and the price of our Common Shares may decline.


- 34 -
In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.
As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to our shareholders.
We are a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare our disclosure documents filed under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Under the Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we do not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), although we are required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell shares, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.
As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. We are also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we expect to comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive in every case the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies.
In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. For example, we currently utilize exemptions under Nasdaq listing standards from the requirement to have fully independent compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, as defined under Nasdaq rules. In addition, we do not currently follow the minimum quorum requirements for shareholder meetings as well as certain shareholder approval requirements prior to the issuance of securities under Nasdaq listing standards, as permitted for foreign private issuers. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to all U.S. corporate governance requirements.
We may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer if a majority of our shares are held in the United States and we fail to meet the additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status, such as if (i) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) a majority of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States. If we cease to qualify, we will be subject to the same reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements as a U.S. domestic issuer which may increase our costs of being a public company in the United States. Additionally, the regulatory and compliance costs to us under securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer will be significantly more than the costs incurred as a Canadian foreign private issuer.
We may acquire other companies or technologies which could divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our Shareholders, and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our results of operations.
We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, people, or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our platform or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are ultimately consummated.


- 35 -
Any integration process may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and require significant time and resources and, although we have been successful in the past, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations, and technologies successfully or effectively manage the combined business in connection with any future acquisition. We may also not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including, among others:
•costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;
•diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
•inability to integrate or benefit from acquired content, technologies, or services in a profitable manner;
•harm to our existing relationships with authors and customers as a result of the acquisition;
•difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations, and personnel of the acquired business;
•difficulty converting the customers of the acquired business onto our platform and contract terms;
•the potential loss of key employees;
•use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and
•the use of substantial portions of our available cash or equity to consummate the acquisition.
In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges for the write-down or impairment of amounts related to goodwill and intangible assets which could negatively impact our results of operations. We may issue additional equity securities in connection with any future acquisitions, that would dilute our existing Shareholders, use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business, incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to pay, incur large charges or substantial liabilities, and become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, or deferred compensation charges. These challenges could adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.
We might require additional capital to support our growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We intend to continue making investments to support our growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our existing platform or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing Shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our Common Shares. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired.
We are required to comply with laws and regulations affecting public companies, which may divert management attention away from the day-to-day management of our business.
Public companies are subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under applicable securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These public company obligations and constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.


- 36 -
Our business is subject to a variety of international laws, including export and import controls and anti-corruption laws and regulations, that could subject us to claims, increase the cost of operations, impair our ability to compete in international markets, or otherwise harm our business due to changes in the laws, changes in the interpretations of the laws, greater enforcement of the laws, or investigations into compliance with the laws.
Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, provincial and territorial, local and foreign governmental agencies, including agencies responsible for monitoring and enforcing copyright laws, employment and labor laws, workplace safety, consumer protection laws, privacy and data protection laws, anti-bribery laws, import and export controls, federal securities laws, and tax laws and regulations. In certain foreign jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in Canada. The U.S. export control laws and U.S. economic sanctions laws may include restrictions or prohibitions on the sale or supply of certain products and services to embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption and other technology, including import and export permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted or could enact laws that could limit our ability to distribute our platform, provide our customers access to our platform or could limit our customers’ ability to access or use our services in those countries. Changes in our platform, or future changes in export and import regulations may prevent our learners with international operations from utilizing our platform globally or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our platform to certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our platform by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell subscriptions to our platform to, existing or potential learners with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform or limitation on our ability to export or sell our platform would likely adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial results.
We are also subject to various domestic and international anti-corruption laws, such as the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada), U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries from authorizing, offering, providing, and accepting improper payments or benefits for improper purposes. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. Although we take precautions to prevent violations of these laws, our exposure for violating these laws increases as our international presence expands and as we increase sales and operations in foreign jurisdictions.
We are also subject to consumer protection laws that may impact our sales and marketing efforts, including laws related to subscriptions, billing, and auto-renewal. These laws, as well as any changes in these laws, could make it more difficult for us to retain existing customers and attract new ones.
These laws and regulations are subject to change over time and thus we must continue to monitor and dedicate resources to ensure continued compliance. Although we take precautions to prevent our platform from being provided in violation of such laws, our platform could be provided inadvertently in violation of such laws, despite the precautions we take. Non-compliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We may also be adversely affected through penalties, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, or otherwise. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Trade wars and changes in international trade law and policies may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a global company, our success depends on our ability to sell across borders. Trade wars and changes in laws and policy relating to trade or taxes may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. More specifically, the geopolitical environment of the markets where we operate may influence customer demand for our products and may have an impact on input costs.


- 37 -
For instance, any potential changes in the economic and political climate in the U.S., such as the potential changes to, or the termination of, trade agreements between the U.S. and the European Union, or among Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, or the increased geopolitical uncertainty in Europe, could impact our business and our sales and profitability.
Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in internet access for our learners or laws specifically governing the internet.
Our platform depends on the quality of our learners’ access to the internet. Certain features of our platform require significant bandwidth and fidelity to work effectively. Internet access is frequently provided by companies that have significant market power that could take actions that degrade, disrupt, or increase the cost of learner access to our platform, which would negatively impact our business. We could incur greater operating expenses and our ability to acquire and retain customers could be negatively impacted if network operators:
•implement usage-based pricing;
•discount pricing for competitive products;
•otherwise materially change their pricing rates or schemes;
•charge us to deliver our traffic at certain levels or at all;
•throttle traffic based on its source or type;
•implement bandwidth caps or other usage restrictions; or
•otherwise try to monetize or control access to their networks.
As the internet continues to experience growth in the number of learners, frequency of use, and amount of data transmitted, the internet infrastructure that we and our learners rely on may be unable to support the demands placed upon it. The failure of the internet infrastructure that we or our learners rely on, even for a short period of time, could undermine our operations and harm our results of operations.
In the future, providers of internet browsers could introduce new features that would make it difficult for customers to use our platform. In addition, internet browsers for desktop, tablets or mobile devices could introduce new features, change existing browser specifications such that they would be incompatible with our platform. Any changes to technologies used in our platform, to existing features that we rely on, or to operating systems or internet browsers that make it difficult for customers to access our platform may make it more difficult for us to maintain or increase our revenues and could adversely impact our business and prospects.
In addition, there are various laws and regulations that could impede the growth of the internet or other online services, and new laws and regulations may be adopted in the future. These laws and regulations could, in addition to limiting internet neutrality, involve taxation, tariffs, privacy, data protection, information security, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, and the characteristics and quality of services, any of which could decrease the demand for, or the usage of, our platform. Legislators and regulators may make legal and regulatory changes, or interpret and apply existing laws, in ways that require us to incur substantial costs, expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, or cause us to change our business practices. These changes or increased costs could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.


- 38 -
As the Company is a Canadian corporation and most of its directors and certain of its officers reside in Canada, it may be difficult or impossible for investors in the United States to effect service or to realize on judgments obtained in the United States. Similarly, it may be difficult or impossible for Canadian investors to enforce civil liabilities against our directors and officers residing outside of Canada. As well, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to enforce judgements against foreign subsidiaries of the Company.
The Company is governed by the OBCA with its principal place of business in Canada. Most of its directors and certain of its officers reside in Canada, and the majority of the Company’s assets are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult or impossible for investors who reside in the United States to effect service of process in the United States upon the Company or upon such persons who are not residents of the United States, or to realize upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. A judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities may be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts: (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against the Company or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or blue sky laws of any state within the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Company or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or blue sky laws. Similarly, some of the Company’s directors and officers are residents of countries other than Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside Canada. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Canadian investors to initiate a lawsuit within Canada against these persons. In addition, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to collect from these persons judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult or impossible for Canadian investors to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States based solely on violations of Canadian securities laws.
Further, certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service within Canada upon such entities, or to realize against them in Canada upon judgments of courts of Canada predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable Canadian provincial securities laws. There is some doubt as to the enforceability in the United States or other foreign courts by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of Canadian courts, of civil liabilities predicated upon such applicable Canadian provincial securities laws.
Our international operations subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, property and goods and services taxes, in Canada and various foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to various jurisdictional rules regarding the timing and allocation of revenue and expenses. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file and to changes in tax laws. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. From time to time, we may be subject to income and non-income tax audits. While we believe we have complied with all applicable income tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes. Should we be assessed with additional taxes, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our future effective tax rate may be affected by such factors as changes in tax laws, regulations, or rates, changing interpretation of existing laws or regulations, the impact of accounting for equity-based compensation, the impact of accounting for business combinations, changes in our international organization, and changes in overall levels of income before tax. In addition, in the ordinary course of our global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot ensure that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.


- 39 -
We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities and may be affected by changes in tax laws or interpretations, any of which could adversely impact our results of operations.
We are subject to income taxes in Canada and various jurisdictions outside of Canada. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate due to changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates. Our tax expense could also be impacted by changes in non-deductible expenses, changes in excess tax benefits of equity-based compensation, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and our ability to utilize them, the applicability of withholding taxes, effects from acquisitions, and the evaluation of new information that results in a change to a tax position taken in a prior period.
Our tax position could also be impacted by changes in accounting principles, changes in Canadian federal, provincial or territorial tax laws, or other international tax laws applicable to corporate multinationals, other fundamental law changes currently being considered by many countries, including Canada and the United States, and changes in taxing jurisdictions’ administrative interpretations, decisions, policies, and positions. Any of the foregoing changes could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Our results of operations may be harmed if we are required to collect sales or other related taxes for our subscription services in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so.
We collect sales and value-added tax as part of our subscription agreements in a number of provinces. Sales and use, value-added, and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. One or more states or countries may seek to impose additional sales, use, or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales by us. A successful assertion by a province, state, country, or other jurisdiction that we should have been or should be collecting additional sales, use, or other taxes on our platform could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, discourage customers from purchasing our platform, or otherwise harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating loss, which could adversely affect our potential profitability.
We have net operating loss carry forwards, or net operating losses (“NOLs”), due to prior period losses. These NOLs, and NOLs of companies we may acquire, could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our potential profitability.
The nature of our business requires the application of complex revenue and expense recognition rules, and any significant changes in current rules could affect our financial statements and results of operations.
The accounting rules and regulations that we must comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Canada Accounting Standards Board, or the AcSB, the Canadian Securities Administrators, or the CSA, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. Recent actions and public comments from the AcSB and the CSA have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, many companies’ accounting policies and practices are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. Further, the accounting rules and regulations are continually changing in ways that could materially impact our financial statements. We cannot predict the impact of future changes to accounting principles or our accounting policies on our financial statements going forward, which could have a significant effect on our reported financial results and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of the change. In addition, if we were to change our critical accounting estimates, including those related to the recognition of license revenue and other revenue sources, our results of operations could be significantly affected.
If our judgments or estimates relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the price of Common Shares
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.


- 40 -
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Common Shares. Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include, or may in the future include, those related to business combinations, contingent consideration, revenue recognition, contract costs, trade and other receivables impairment of non-financial assets, income taxes, functional currency and segment information.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the CSA, and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the listing standards of the TSX and Nasdaq and the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these laws, rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the CSA is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in CSA rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under applicable securities laws is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight.
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the CSA. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Common Shares. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the TSX and/or Nasdaq.
Our Articles provide that any derivative actions, actions relating to breach of fiduciary duties and other actions asserting a claim relating to relationships among us, our affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors and/or officers are required to be litigated in Canada, which could limit your ability to obtain a favourable judicial forum for disputes with us.
We have included a forum selection provision in our Articles that provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Superior Court of Justice of the Province of Ontario, Canada and appellate courts therefrom (or, failing such court, any other “court” as defined in the OBCA having jurisdiction, and the appellate courts therefrom), will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the OBCA or our by-laws; or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the relationships among us, our affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors and/or officers, but excluding claims related to our business or such affiliates. Our forum selection provision also provides that our security holders are deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction in the Province of Ontario and to service of process on their counsel in any foreign action initiated in violation of the foregoing provisions.


- 41 -
Therefore, it may not be possible for our Shareholders to litigate any action relating to the foregoing matters outside of the Province of Ontario. Our forum selection provision seeks to reduce litigation costs and increase outcome predictability by requiring derivative actions and other matters relating to our affairs to be litigated in a single forum. While forum selection clauses in corporate charters and by-laws are becoming more commonplace for public companies in the U.S. and have been upheld by courts in certain states, they are untested in Canada. It is possible that the validity of our forum selection provision could be challenged and that a court could rule that such provision is inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find our forum selection provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions and we may not obtain the benefits of limiting jurisdiction to the courts selected.
We incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses than we incurred as a private company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the CSA and the rules and regulations of the TSX and Nasdaq. These requirements have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made, and will continue to make, some activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance on an ongoing basis, and we may in the future be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board or as our executive officers. As a result of the foregoing, we expect a substantial increase in legal, accounting, insurance and certain other expenses in the future, which will negatively impact our financial performance and could cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer.
The Company is governed by the corporate and securities laws of Canada which in some cases have a different effect on shareholders than the corporate laws of Delaware, U.S., and U.S. securities laws.
The Company is governed by the OBCA and other relevant laws, which may affect the rights of shareholders differently than those of a company governed by the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction, and may, together with the Company’s constating documents, have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or may affect the price an acquiring party would be willing to offer in such an instance. The material differences between the OBCA and Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) that may have the greatest such effect include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) for material corporate transactions (such as mergers and amalgamations, other extraordinary corporate transactions or amendments to the Articles) the OBCA generally requires a two-thirds majority vote by shareholders, whereas DGCL generally requires only a majority vote; and (ii) under the OBCA, holders of 5% or more of the Company’s shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting of shareholders can requisition a special meeting of shareholders, whereas such right does not exist under the DGCL.
We may incur additional costs to maintain legitimate means for our transfer and receipt of personal data from the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) and other countries of operations or may be unable to maintain such legitimate means.
With regard to transfers to the U.S. of personal data (as such term is defined under the GDPR) from our European employees, customers and users, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission have recently adopted an enhanced EU-U.S. data transfer mechanism (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) that complies with the Court of Justice of the European Union (the “CJEU”) decision invalidating the previous EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. Docebo promptly adhered to the new framework by committing to comply with a detailed set of privacy principles, allowing us to restore a stable and lawful flow of data across the two regions. While we welcome the progress made to effectively address the concerns raised by the CJEU in the past, the use of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework has already been challenged before the European courts, which could lead Docebo to make additional necessary or desirable changes to our handling of personal data of EEA residents. Also, unfavourable geopolitical events or changes may impact the validity of EU-US Data Privacy Framework and have a material effect on our data transfer processing of EEA residents to the U.S. without a GDPR-compliant solution.

Further, other countries are adopting more stringent rules concerning data location regimes and transfer of personal data. The regulatory regime applicable to the handling of Chinese residents’ personal data sets forth compliance measures required to be satisfied prior to exporting personal data outside of the country, including liaising with the Chinese data protection authority (and in some cases approvals from such authority). Accordingly, we may experience reluctance or refusal by current or prospective customers with a presence in China to use our products, and we may need to make further changes to our handling of personal data of Chinese residents. We may also be unsuccessful in maintaining legitimate means for our transfer and receipt of personal data from the Republic of China as some data localization requirements, and the regulator’s scrutiny, might make international transfers difficult to implement, leading to additional liabilities or costs, and could result in our business, operating results and financial condition being harmed.
Our financial condition may be adversely affected by geopolitical events in regions where the Company operates or has offices.
War, terrorism, threats of terrorist acts and related geopolitical risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on particular markets, the global economy, and securities markets generally. In particular, Docebo has offices in Europe and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and conducts business in other areas in the Middle East. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in and surrounding Europe (including Ukraine), the UAE, and the Middle East generally, may directly affect our business. There can be no assurance that attacks will not reach, or come within close proximity of, our offices, which could result in a significant disruption to our business. In addition, there are significant ongoing hostilities in Ukraine and the Middle East, particularly in Syria, Iraq, and Israel and surrounding areas, which may impact other areas of Europe and the UAE, respectively, in the future. Any hostilities involving Europe and the UAE, a significant increase in terrorism or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Europe and the UAE and its present trading partners, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Europe and the UAE, could materially adversely affect our operations. Ongoing and revived hostilities or other European or UAE political or economic factors could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Further, restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards certain areas of Europe (including Ukraine) and the UAE or European and UAE businesses could have an adverse impact on the expansion of our business.
Recent uprisings and armed conflicts in various countries in the Middle East are affecting the political stability of that region. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political and trade relationships that exist between the UAE and these countries. As a result, our business operations could be harmed.
Risks Related to Our Common Shares
There is no guarantee that our Common Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term.
A holding of our Common Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. A holding of our Common Shares is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their holdings.
The price of our Common Shares may be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance.
The price of our Common Shares has fluctuated in the past and we expect it to fluctuate in the future, and it may decline. The trading prices of technology companies’ securities have been, and we expect them to continue to be, highly volatile. The market price of our Common Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among others:
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and other results of operations, including as a result of the addition or loss of any number of customers;


- 43 -
•announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments;
•the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections, or our failure to meet these projections;
•failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in ratings and financial estimates and the publication of other news by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
•changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of SaaS-based software or other technology companies, or those in our industry in particular;
•the size of our public float;
•price and volume fluctuations in the trading of our Common Shares and in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;
•changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates;
•new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business or industry, including data privacy, data protection, and information security;
•lawsuits threatened or filed against us for claims relating to intellectual property, employment issues, or otherwise;
•changes in our Board or management;
•short sales, hedging, and other derivative transactions involving our Common Shares;
•sales or perceived sales, or announcement of potential future sales, of our Common Shares including sales by our executive officers, directors, and significant Shareholders;
•sales or perceived sales of additional Common Shares;
•release or expiration of transfer restrictions on outstanding Common Shares (including Common Shares subject to lock-up restrictions);
•news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the Company’s industry or target markets; and
•other events or factors, including changes in general economic, industry, political, social, and market conditions, and trends, as well as any natural disasters or pandemics, which may affect our operations.
In addition, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Share prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management, and harm our business.
Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of Common Shares by existing Shareholders could cause the price of our Common Shares to decline.
Sales of a substantial number of our Common Shares by our existing Shareholders in the public market could occur at any time. Moreover, Intercap Equity and Intercap Financial Inc. (together with Intercap Equity, “Intercap”) has the right under the Investor Rights Agreement to require us to file a prospectus covering their registrable securities in Canada and/or in the United States or to include their registrable securities in prospectuses or registration statements that we may file for ourselves or on behalf of Intercap in Canada and/or the United States.


- 44 -
Intercap has also informed us that, in connection with a credit agreement, it has pledged certain of the Common Shares it holds. Enforcement against such collateral by Intercap’s creditor could materially adversely affect the price of our Common Shares.
In addition, certain holders of options and other share-based awards will have an immediate income inclusion for tax purposes when they exercise their options or when their other awards are share-settled (that is, tax is not deferred until they sell the underlying Common Shares). As a result, these holders may need to sell Common Shares purchased on the exercise of options or issued upon share settlement of share-based awards in the same year that they exercise their options or in which their share-based awards are share-settled. This might result in a greater number of Common Shares being sold in the public market and reduced long-term holdings of Common Shares by our management and employees.
If our Shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our Shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our Common Shares in the public market, the market price of our Common Shares could decline. The magnitude of this risk will be inversely proportional to the size of the public float.
Additionally, pursuant to the ATM Program, Intercap Equity may sell Common Shares from time to time, at its discretion. Sales under the ATM Program could reduce the prevailing market price for our Common Shares.
Our constating documents permit us to issue additional securities in the future, including Common Shares and preferred shares without additional shareholder approval.
Our Articles permit us to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. We anticipate that we will, from time to time, issue additional Common Shares in the future, including in connection with potential acquisitions. Subject to the requirements of the TSX and Nasdaq, we will not be required to obtain the approval of shareholders for the issuance of additional Common Shares. Any further issuances of Common Shares will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of their shareholdings.
Our Articles also permit us to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. While we have no present plans to issue any preferred shares, our Board has the authority to issue preferred shares and determine the price, designation, rights, (including voting and dividend rights), preferences, privileges, restrictions and conditions of such preferred shares and to determine to whom they shall be issued. Any issuance of preferred shares may result in further dilution to existing shareholders and have an adverse effect on the value of their shareholdings. We cannot foresee the terms and conditions of any future offerings of preferred shares nor the effect they may have on the market price of the Common Shares.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade our Common Shares, the price of our Common Shares could decline.
The trading market for our Common Shares depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our Common Shares would likely decline. In addition, if our results of operations fail to meet the forecast of analysts, the price of our Common Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Common Shares could decrease, which might cause the price and trading volume of our Common Shares to decline.
Our issuance of additional Common Shares or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans, or otherwise will dilute all other Shareholders.
We expect to issue additional securities in the future that will result in dilution to all other Shareholders. We expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our equity incentive plans. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies, and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment.


- 45 -
Any such issuances of additional Common Shares or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares may cause Shareholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our Common Shares to decline.
We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute existing Shareholders’ voting power and percentage ownership of our Common Shares and Shareholders could be asked in the future to approve the creation of new equity securities which could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our Common Shares. Capital raised through debt financing would require us to make periodic interest payments and may impose restrictive covenants on the conduct of our business. Furthermore, additional financings may not be available on terms favourable to us, or at all. A failure to obtain additional funding could prevent us from making expenditures that may be required to implement our growth strategy and grow or maintain our operations.
We generally do not currently intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We generally do not intend to pay dividends to the holders of our Common Shares for the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends on our Common Shares is limited by our existing indebtedness and may be further restricted by the terms of any future debt incurred or preferred securities issued by us or our subsidiaries or law. Payments of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board after considering various factors, including our business, financial condition, and results of operations, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and any legal or contractual limitation on our ability to pay dividends. As a result, any capital appreciation in the price of our Common Shares may be your only source of gain on your investment in our Common Shares.
Shareholders have limited control over our Company’s operations.
Shareholders have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks of an investment in our Company. The Board determines major policies, including policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization and any future dividends to Shareholders. Generally, the Board may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the Shareholders. Shareholders only have a right to vote in the circumstances described under “Description of Capital Structure – Common Shares”. The Board’s broad discretion in setting policies and the limited ability of Shareholders to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks of an investment in our Company.
Intercap Equity beneficially owns and controls approximately 41.8% of the voting power attached to our outstanding voting Common Shares and both Intercap and Klass are entitled to certain director nomination rights under the Investor Rights Agreement. See “Agreements with Shareholders – Investor Rights Agreement”. The Principal Shareholders have significant influence with respect to all matters submitted to the Company’s Shareholders for approval, including without limitation the election and removal of directors, amendments to the constating documents of the Company and the approval of certain material transactions.
Dual listed shares may be exposed to increased volatility.
The Company’s listing on both the TSX and Nasdaq may increase volatility due to the ability to buy and sell Common Shares in two places, different market conditions in different capital markets, and different trading volumes. This may result in less liquidity on both exchanges, different liquidity levels, and different prevailing trading prices.
If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of our Common Shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly, or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our Common Shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in our group. Because our group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, we expect that certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries will be treated as controlled foreign corporations (regardless of whether or not we are treated as a controlled foreign corporation).


- 46 -
A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income,” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether we make any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any such controlled foreign corporation or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A United States investor should consult its advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our Common Shares.
We may be a passive foreign investment company, which may result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of Common Shares.
Generally, if for any taxable year 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on the nature of our income and the value and composition of our assets, we do not believe we were a PFIC during the taxable years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024. Because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years and that we were not a PFIC in 2023 or 2024. If we are characterized as a PFIC, our shareholders who are U.S. Holders may suffer adverse tax consequences, including the treatment of gains realized on the sale of our Common Shares as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain, the loss of the preferential rate applicable to dividends received on our Common Shares by individuals who are U.S. Holders, and the addition of interest charges to the tax on such gains and certain distributions. A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC generally may mitigate these adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences by making a Qualified Electing Fund (“QEF”) election, or, to a lesser extent, a mark-to-market election. However, we do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make QEF elections if we are classified as a PFIC.
Dividends
The Company currently intends to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business and/or to pay down debt and does not currently anticipate paying dividends on the Common Shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the direction of the Board and will depend on many factors, including, among others, the Company’s financial condition, current and anticipated cash requirements, contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by applicable corporate law and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.
Description of Capital Structure
The following description of our share capital summarizes certain provisions contained in our Articles and by-laws.

Common Shares
The authorized capital of the Company consists of (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares and (ii) an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. As at December 31, 2024, 30,255,955 Common Shares were issued and outstanding.

Rank
The Common Shares rank pari passu with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital and distribution of assets in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.
Dividend Rights
Shareholders are entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis out of our assets legally available for the payment of dividends at such times and in such amount and form as our Board may from time to time determine, subject to any preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred shares.
Voting Rights
Shareholders are entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share held at meetings of Shareholders.
Meetings of Shareholders
Shareholders are entitled to receive notice of any meeting of Shareholders and may attend and vote at such meetings. A quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of Shareholders is present if two or more Shareholders who, together, hold not less than 25% of the votes attaching to our outstanding Common Shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy.
Pre-Emptive Rights
Certain Shareholders are entitled to certain pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional Common Shares as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement. See “Agreements with Shareholders – Investor Rights Agreement – Pre-Emptive Rights”.
Liquidation Rights
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Shareholders, without preference or distinction, are entitled to receive rateably all of our assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities, subject to any preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred shares.
Preferred Shares
The authorized capital of the Company consists of (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares and (ii) an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. As at December 31, 2024, there are no preferred shares outstanding. Subject to the provisions of the OBCA and our Articles, our Board may, by resolution, from time to time before the issue thereof determine the maximum number of preferred shares of each series, create an identifying name for each series, attach special rights or restrictions to the preferred shares of each series including, without limitation, any right to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative and variable or fixed) or the means of determining such dividends, the dates of payment thereof, any terms or conditions of redemption or purchase, any conversion rights, any retraction rights, any rights on our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up and any sinking fund or other provisions, the whole to be subject to filing articles of amendment to create the series and to include the special rights or restrictions attached to the preferred shares of the series. Except as provided in any special rights or restrictions attaching to any series of preferred shares issued from time to time, the holders of preferred shares will not be entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Shareholders.
Preferred shares of each series, if and when issued, will, with respect to the payment of dividends, rank pari passu with the preferred shares of every other series and be entitled to preference over the Common Shares and any other of our shares ranking junior to the preferred shares with respect to payment of dividends.
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of preferred shares will be entitled to preference with respect to distribution of our property or assets over the Common Shares and any other of our shares ranking junior to the preferred shares with respect to the repayment of capital paid up on and the payment of unpaid dividends accrued on the preferred shares.


- 48 -
We currently anticipate that there will be no pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights attaching to any series of preferred shares issued from time to time.

Agreements with Shareholders
Investor Rights Agreement
Intercap Equity owns 12,655,249 Common Shares, which represents an approximate 41.8% ownership interest in the Company on a non-diluted basis.
The following is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the Investor Rights Agreement among the Company, Intercap and Klass.com Subsidiary LLC (“Klass” and together with Intercap, the “Principal Shareholders”) as supplemented by the IRA Letter Agreement among the Company and Intercap Equity. The IRA Letter Agreement was entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in the United States, and as required pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement, provided Intercap with U.S. registration rights that are substantially similar to, and in addition to, those provided to Intercap under the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of Canadian offerings.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of that agreement, which contains a complete statement of those attributes and characteristics. The Investor Rights Agreement is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Nomination Rights
The Investor Rights Agreement provides that Intercap shall be entitled to nominate directors commensurate with the ownership interests in the Company of the Principal Shareholders, as follows:
•Intercap can nominate a majority of the directors so long as Principal Shareholders together hold more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis;
•Intercap can nominate 40% of the directors (rounding up to the nearest whole number) so long as Principal Shareholders together hold at least 40% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis;
•Intercap can nominate 30% of the directors (rounding up to the nearest whole number) so long as Principal Shareholders together hold at least 30% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis;
•Intercap can nominate 20% of the directors (rounding up to the nearest whole number) so long as Principal Shareholders together hold at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis; and
•Intercap can nominate one director so long as Principal Shareholders together hold at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis.
Additionally, so long as Klass holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, then Daniel Klass, or another individual designated by Klass, shall be one of Intercap’s nominees to the Board. There is no voting agreement between Intercap and Klass. We are informed that as at the date hereof, Klass holds less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis.


- 50 -
So long as Intercap has the right to nominate at least one director to the Board, Intercap shall be entitled to have one of their director nominees serve on a standing committee of the Board, other than the Audit Committee, provided that their director nominee is not one of the Company’s officers. Additionally, as long as Intercap can nominate at least one-third of the directors, Intercap shall be entitled to have one of their director nominees serve as Chair of the Board.
The current nominees under the Investor Rights Agreement are Jason Chapnik, James Merkur and William Anderson. On October 1, 2020, Daniel Klass resigned from the Board.
Registration Rights
The Investor Rights Agreement, as supplemented by the IRA Letter Agreement, provides Intercap with the right (the “Demand Registration Right”), among others, to require the Company to use reasonable commercial efforts to file one or more prospectuses with applicable Canadian securities regulatory or and/or a registration statement with the SEC covering all or a portion of the Common Shares held by Intercap for a public offering in Canada or the United States, respectively, (a “Demand Distribution”), provided that the Company is not obliged to effect (i) more than two Demand Distributions in any 12-month period or (ii) any Demand Distribution where the value of the Common Shares offered under such demand registration is less than C$10 million in respect of a Demand Distribution in Canada or $10 million in respect of a Demand Distribution in the United States.
The Company may also distribute Common Shares in connection with a Demand Distribution provided that if the Demand Distribution involves an underwriting and the lead underwriter determines that the total number of Common Shares to be included in such Demand Distribution should be limited for certain prescribed reasons, the Common Shares to be included in the Demand Distribution will first be allocated to Intercap.
The Investor Rights Agreement also provides Intercap with the right (the “Piggy-Back Registration Right”) to require the Company to include its Common Shares in any future public offerings undertaken by the Company by way of prospectus that it may file with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities and/or in any U.S. public offerings undertaken by the Company by way of a registration statement filed with the SEC covering Common Shares (a “Piggy-Back Distribution”). The Company will be required to use reasonable commercial efforts to cause to be included in the Piggy-Back Distribution all of the Common Shares that Intercap requests to be sold, provided that if the Piggy-Back Distribution involves an underwriting and the lead underwriter determines that the total number of Common Shares to be included in such Piggy-Back Distribution should be limited for certain prescribed reasons, the Common Shares to be included in the Piggy-Back Distribution will first be allocated to the Company.
To exercise these registration rights, Intercap, together with its affiliates and joint actors, must collectively own, in the aggregate, at least owns 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of exercise. The Demand Registration Right and Piggy-Back Registration Right are also subject to various conditions and limitations, and the Company is entitled to defer any Demand Distribution in certain circumstances for a period not exceeding 90 days. The expenses in respect of a Demand Distribution, subject to certain exceptions, will be borne by the Company and Intercap on a proportionate basis according to the number of Common Shares distributed by each. The expenses in respect of a Piggy-Back Distribution, subject to certain exceptions, will be borne by the Company, except that any underwriting fee on the sale of Common Shares by Intercap and the fees of their external legal counsel will be borne by Intercap.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify Intercap for any misrepresentation in a prospectus under which Intercap’s Common Shares are distributed (other than in respect of any prospectus disclosure provided by Intercap, in respect Intercap). Intercap will indemnify the Company for any prospectus disclosure provided by the Intercap in respect of Intercap.


- 51 -
Pre-Emptive Rights
In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries decides to issue Common Shares or any type of securities convertible into or exchangeable or redeemable for any shares or an option or other right to acquire such securities, each of Intercap and Klass, for so long as they continue to own at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, shall have pre-emptive rights to purchase Common Shares or such other securities as are being contemplated for issuance to maintain their pro rata ownership interest. Notice of exercise of such rights is to be provided in advance of the commencement of any offering of securities of the Company or such other securities as are being contemplated for issuance and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions to set out in the Investor Rights Agreement.

DOCEBO INC.
(THE “COMPANY”)
Charter of the Audit Committee
1.Purpose
The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Docebo Inc. (the “Company”). The members of the Committee and the chair of the Committee (the “Chair”) are appointed by the Board on an annual basis (or until their successors are duly appointed) for the purpose of overseeing the Company’s financial controls and reporting and monitoring whether the Company complies with financial covenants and legal and regulatory requirements governing financial disclosure matters and financial risk management.
2.Composition
(1)The Committee should be comprised of a minimum of three directors and a maximum of five directors.
(2)The Committee must be constituted as required under National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, as it may be amended or replaced from time to time (“NI 52-110”), and the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq Listing Rules”).
(3)All members of the Committee must (except to the extent permitted by NI 52-110 and applicable phase-in exemptions under Nasdaq Listing Rules) be (i) independent (as defined by NI 52-110), and free from any relationship that, in the view of the Board, could be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Committee and (ii) independent within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3 promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (and any successor rules thereto).
(4)No members of the Committee shall receive, other than for service on the Board or the Committee or other committees of the Board, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company or any of its related parties or subsidiaries.
(5)All members of the Committee must (i) (except to the extent permitted by NI 52-110) be financially literate (which is defined as the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements) and (ii) be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. No member of the Committee shall have participated in the preparation of financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company for the preceding three full fiscal years. At least one member of the Committee shall at all times be financially sophisticated (within the meaning set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules).
(6)Any member of the Committee may be removed or replaced at any time by the Board and shall cease to be a member of the Committee on ceasing to be a director. The Board may fill vacancies on the Committee by election from among the Board. If and whenever a vacancy shall exist on the Committee, the remaining members may exercise all powers of the Committee so long as a quorum remains.


A-2
3.Limitations on Committee’s Duties
In contributing to the Committee’s discharge of its duties under this Charter, each member of the Committee shall be obliged only to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Nothing in this Charter is intended or may be construed as imposing on any member of the Committee a standard of care or diligence that is in any way more onerous or extensive than the standard to which any member of the Board may be otherwise subject.
Members of the Committee are entitled to rely, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, on (i) the integrity of the persons and organizations from whom they receive information, (ii) the accuracy and completeness of the information provided, (iii) representations made by management of the Company as to the non-audit services provided to the Company by the external auditor, (iv) financial statements of the Company represented to them by a member of management or in a written report of the external auditors to present fairly the financial position of the Company in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles, and (v) any report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by any such person.
4.Meetings
The Committee should meet not less than four times annually. The Committee should meet within 45 days following the end of the first three financial quarters of the Company and shall meet within 90 days following the end of the fiscal year of the Company. A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Committee shall be a majority of the members of the Committee or such greater number as the Committee shall by resolution determine. The Committee shall keep minutes of each meeting of the Committee. A copy of the minutes shall be provided to each member of the Committee. The Committee shall report to the Board in a timely manner with respect to each of its meetings held, which may take the form of circulating copies of the minutes of such meeting.
Meetings of the Committee shall be held from time to time and at such place as any member of the Committee shall determine upon two days’ prior notice to each of the other Committee members. The members of the Committee may waive the requirement for notice. In addition, each of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the external auditor shall be entitled to request that the Chair call a meeting. If the Chair is absent from a meeting, the Committee members in attendance will serve as Co-Chairs for the purposes of that meeting.
The Committee may ask members of management and employees of the Company (including, for greater certainty, its affiliates and subsidiaries) or others (including the external auditor) to attend meetings and provide such information as the Committee requests. Members of the Committee shall have full access to information of the Company (including, for greater certainty, its affiliates, subsidiaries and their respective operations) and shall be permitted to discuss such information and any other matters relating to the results of operations and financial position of the Company with management, employees, the external auditor and others as they consider appropriate.
The Committee or its Chair should meet at least once per year with management and the external auditor in separate sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or either of these groups desires to discuss privately. In addition, the Committee or its Chair should meet with management quarterly in connection with the review and approval of the Company’s interim financial statements.
The Committee shall determine any desired agenda items.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Docebo Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Docebo, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 27, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of Revenue Related to Contracts with Non-Standard Terms and Conditions, Pricing and Promised Services




As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company enters into significant revenue contracts with certain large enterprise customers that contain non-standard terms and conditions, pricing and promised services. Significant management judgment can be required to assess the impact of these items on the amount and timing of revenue recognition for these contracts. Areas which require judgment include the determination of performance obligations, calculation of transaction price, allocation of transaction price across performance obligations, and timing of revenue recognition.

We identified the evaluation of revenue related to contracts with non-standard terms and conditions, pricing and promised services as a critical audit matter. Significant auditor judgment and effort was required to evaluate their impact on revenue recognition, including the determination of performance obligations, calculation of transaction price, allocation of transaction price across performance obligations, and timing of revenue recognition.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the critical audit matter. This included controls over the execution of contracts and the review of contracts with non-standard terms and conditions, pricing and promised services to analyze the impact on revenue recognition. We tested a selection of contracts by reading the underlying customer contracts and evaluating the Company’s assessment of non-standard terms and conditions, pricing and promised services and considering the impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Our evaluation included the determination of performance obligations, calculation of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Docebo Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Docebo Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, Docebo Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 27, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included under the heading Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting contained within Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.




Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)
1 Nature of business

Docebo Inc. (“Docebo” or the “Company”), a leading learning platform provider, was incorporated on April 21, 2016 under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The Company’s head office is located at Suite 701, 366 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Canada, M5V 1R9.

The Company’s shares are listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), as of October 8, 2019, and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), as of December 3, 2020, under the stock symbol “DCBO”.

2 Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 27, 2025.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis under the historical cost method except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services received.

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise noted. Docebo’s functional currency is Canadian dollars (“C$”). The presentation currency is different than the functional currency of the Company for industry and market comparability purposes.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its material subsidiaries, noted below.

All intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions and dividends are eliminated on consolidation.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments about the future that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and the effects of revisions are recorded in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties at the reporting date that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:

•Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method. The consideration transferred and the acquiree’s identifiable assets, and liabilities are measured at their fair value. The Company determines fair value by using appropriate valuation techniques which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net discounted cash flows. These evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the related assets. The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in particular intangible assets, are based upon a preliminary valuation for all items and finalized within the 12-month measurement period following the acquisition date.

•Income taxes

The Company computes an income tax provision in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. Actual amounts of income tax expense only become final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant tax authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets against future taxable income based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire. To the extent that estimates of future taxable income differ from the tax return, earnings would be affected in a subsequent period.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

•Revenue recognition


10

DOCEBO INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)
The Company derives its revenues from two main sources: software as-a-service application (“SaaS”); and professional and premium support services revenue, which includes services such as initial implementation, project management, training and integration.

The Company enters into significant revenue contracts with certain large enterprise customers that contain non-standard terms and conditions, pricing and promised services. Significant management judgment can be required to assess the impact of these items on the amount and timing of revenue recognition for these contracts including the determination of performance obligations, calculation of transaction price, allocation of transaction price across performance obligations, and timing of revenue recognition.

•Contract costs

Contract costs include customer acquisition costs, which consist of commissions paid to sales personnel. These costs are deferred as a contract cost asset as they are considered to be incremental costs incurred to obtain a customer contract and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period consistent with the pattern of transfer of the products and services to which the asset relate, including specifically identifiable expected renewals. The Company has determined the period of benefit to be five years. The Company uses judgement to determine the period of benefit by taking into consideration its customer contracts and customer life, life of its revenue generating platform technology and other factors.

•Trade and other receivables

The recognition of trade and other receivables and provisions for expected credit losses requires the Company to assess credit risk and collectability. The Company considers historical trends and any available information indicating a customer could be experiencing liquidity or going concern problems and the status of any contractual or legal disputes with customers in performing this assessment.

•Segment information

The Company uses judgement in determining its operating segments by taking into consideration the Chief Operating Decision Maker’s (“CODM”) assessment of overall performance and decisions such as resource allocations and delegation of authority. The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating and reporting segment.

3 Summary of material accounting policies

The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless stated otherwise.

Functional currency

The functional currency for each entity within the consolidated group is determined based on an evaluation of the currency of each respective entities’ primary economic environment. This requires an evaluation of the currency that primarily influences selling prices and the currency which mainly influences expenses and cash outflows, among other factors.

Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.


11

DOCEBO INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are presented within foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss).

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated into US dollars at the average rate for the period.

Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Revenue recognition and related cost recognition

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those products and services by applying the following steps:

•identify the contract with a customer;
•identify the performance obligations in the contract;
•determine the transaction price;
•allocate the transaction price; and
•recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue represents the amount the Company expects to receive for products and services in its contracts with customers, net of discounts and sales taxes. The Company derives revenue from subscriptions to access its hosted SaaS platform, including related support and maintenance (“subscription revenue”), and from the provision of professional services including implementation services, technical services and training. Professional services offered by the Company do not include significant customization to, or development of, the software.

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of products or services to customers. The Company’s contracts with customers often include multiple products and services. The Company evaluates these arrangements to determine the appropriate unit(s) of accounting (performance obligation(s)) for revenue recognition purposes based on whether the product or service is distinct from some or all of the other products or services in the arrangement. A product or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from it on its own or together with other readily available resources and the Company’s promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contractual arrangement with the customer. Non-distinct products and services are combined with other goods or services until they are distinct as a bundle and therefore form a single performance obligation. Subscription revenue and professional services are generally capable of being distinct for the Company and are accounted for as separate performance obligations.

The total consideration for the arrangement is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price and the revenue is recognized for each performance obligation when the requirements for revenue recognition have been met. The Company determines the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each performance obligation based on the normal or consistently applied selling price range when they are sold separately. We update our estimates of SSP on an annual basis through internal periodic reviews and as events or circumstances may require.

Subscription revenue related to the provision of access to the SaaS platform is recognized ratably over the enforceable subscription contract term, once the customer has been provisioned access to the platform. Ratable recognition reflects its continuous obligation to stand-ready to provide access to the platform and provide technical support and maintenance including when-and-if-available software upgrades to the customer.

12

DOCEBO INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)
The customer receives and consumes the benefit of access to the SaaS platform equally on a daily basis.

Professional services revenue is recognized over time as services are performed based on the proportion performed to date relative to the total expected services to be performed, which is normally over the first few months of a contract with progress being measured over the implementation and training period. The Company applies labour hours expended which is an input method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of professional services revenue performance obligations. Labour hours expended relative to the total expected labour hours to be expended provides a faithful depiction of the Company's performance towards complete satisfaction of the professional services performance obligations as it closely reflects the completion of activities based on budgeted labour hours and the value of the services transferred cannot be measured directly.

The Company records contract costs which consists of two components, customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract.

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the costs to be recoverable. Capitalized contract acquisition cost assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period consistent with the pattern of transfer of the products and services to which the asset relate, including specifically identifiable expected renewals. The amortization of customer acquisition costs is recognized as a sales and marketing expense.

Costs to fulfill a contract, or fulfillment costs, are recognized as an asset if they relate directly to a contract with a customer, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligations in the future, and the costs are expected to be recoverable. Fulfillment costs are amortized over the term of the initial contract signed with the customer. The amortization of fulfillment costs is recognized as a cost of revenue.

The timing of revenue recognition often differs from contract payment schedules, resulting in revenue that has been recognized but not billed. These amounts are included in accrued revenue within trade and other receivables. Amounts billed in accordance with customer contracts, but not yet recognized in revenue, are recorded and presented as part of deferred revenue.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue is comprised of costs related to provisioning and hosting the learning platform and related products and the delivery of support and professional services. Significant expenses included in cost of revenue include employee wages and benefits expenses, web hosting fees, software and partner fees.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at financial institutions and highly liquid short-term interest-bearing marketable securities with maturities at the date of purchase of one year or less and are redeemable after 90 days.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the asset. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Furniture and office equipment 3 - 5 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed on an annual basis and adjusted if appropriate.
Leasehold improvements         Lease term
Building                25 years             

13

DOCEBO INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)


Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is measured at fair value on the date of the acquisition, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Transaction costs incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company accounts for contingent consideration as part of the business combination when it does not require continued employment services. Contingent consideration classified as a liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss.

Acquired intangible assets and goodwill

The Company’s intangible assets relate to acquired identifiable intangible assets, such as trademarks, software technology and customer relationships. These intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company has not capitalized internally developed intangibles as the requirements for capitalization have not been met.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis as follows:

Trademarks            3 years
Technology             5 - 10 years
Customer relationships        5 - 10 years

The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Goodwill arises from a business combination as the excess of the consideration transferred over the identifiable net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill

Impairment testing compares the carrying values of the assets or cash-generating units (“CGU”) being tested with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. To the extent that the carrying value of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess amount would be recorded as an impairment loss. Should the recoverable amounts for impaired assets or CGUs subsequently increase, the impairment losses previously recognized (other than in respect of goodwill) may be reversed.

Property and equipment and acquired intangible assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the asset or CGU is tested for impairment.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the related business combination. The Company as a whole has been assessed as a CGU. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and in the interim whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)

Government assistance

Government assistance, which mainly includes research and development and other tax credits, is recognized when there is reasonable assurance it will be received and all related conditions will be complied with. Government assistance is recognized as a reduction of the related expenditure over the period necessary to match the government assistance on a systematic basis to the costs it is intended to subsidize.

Research and development

Expenditures on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining technical knowledge and understanding, are recognized in profit or loss as an expense as incurred. The Company may capitalize certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal use software. The Company expenses costs in the preliminary stages of development and may capitalize direct and incremental costs through technological feasibility, in which capitalization ceases once the additional features and functionality are put into service.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) (a) as a result of a past event; (b) when it is more probable than not that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received. The ROU assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of useful life of the ROU asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of the consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. In addition, the ROU asset can be periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

•fixed payments (including any in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable);
•variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
•amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
•exercise price of any purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
•payments for penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the ROU asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU has been reduced to nil.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less and for leases of low value assets. The lease payments associated with those leases is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Employee benefit obligations

The Company provides an employee severance indemnity, which is mandatory pursuant to the Italian Civil Code. Under this arrangement, the Company is obligated to pay deferred compensation based on the employees’ years of service and the compensation earned by the employee during the service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment using the same accounting methodology as used for a defined benefit plan. These benefits are unfunded. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. These obligations are valued annually.

Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:

•the date of the plan amendment or curtailment; and
•the date that the Company recognizes related restructuring costs.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation:

•service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
•net interest expense or income.

Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable, deferred tax and any adjustments of tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each year and reduced to the extent it is not probable sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Share-based payments

The Company has multiple components of its equity incentive plan including stock options, deferred share units (“DSUs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and shares issued pursuant to the employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”). The Company uses the fair value based method to measure share-based compensation for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards.

The Company grants equity-settled stock options to purchase common shares to certain employees and officers. Stock options vest over 4 or 5 years and expire after 5 or 10 years.

The fair value of the stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Estimates are required for inputs to this model including the fair value of the underlying shares, the expected life of the option, volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. Variation in actual results for any of these inputs will result in a different value of the stock option realized from the original estimate.

The Company’s Board of Directors may fix, from time to time, a portion of the total compensation (including annual retainer) paid by the Company to a director in a calendar year for service on the Board (the “Director Fees”) that are to be payable in the form of DSUs. Directors may elect to receive all or portion of their quarterly retainer Director Fees in the form of DSUs. The number of DSUs that a director will receive in respect of any period is calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any bonus or similar payment that is to be paid in DSUs by (b) the market price of a share on the date of the grant, with the balance, if any being paid in cash. The DSUs are treated as equity-settled instruments for accounting purposes. We expect that vested DSUs will be paid at settlement through the issuance of one common share per DSU. DSUs shall vest immediately upon grant or be subject to a one-year vesting period.

The Company has granted RSUs to employees of the Company. The RSUs are treated as equity-settled instruments for accounting purposes. The Company expects that vested RSUs will be settled through the issuance of one common share per RSU. The RSUs vest over a period of four years. The fair value is determined based on the market value of the Company's shares at the time of grant.

Share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP is measured based on the grant date at fair value of the expected discount to be provided to the employees who are registered in the plan. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense related to shares issued pursuant to the ESPP on a straight-line basis over the offering period, which is 6 months. The ESPP allows employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a 15 percent discount from the Company’s stock price on the last day of the offering period. Under the plan, employees may withdraw from the plan at any time during the offering period.

DOCEBO INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)
Other changes to the percentage contributions can be made at any time during the offering period but will only take effect the next offering period. The ESPP does not include any buy-back provisions or price protection against reductions in share price.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on the exercise of stock options and settlement of DSUs and RSUs. The Company uses the treasury stock method to the extent that the effect is dilutive.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

•Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets is based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

•it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

•its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.

The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets.
Financial assets at FVTPL Subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)

•Financial liabilities

The Company initially recognizes financial liabilities at fair value on the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Company classifies its financial liabilities as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or amortized cost.

Subsequent to initial recognition, other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in profit or loss.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

•Financial liabilities and equity instruments

•Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

•Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

•Classification of financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities depending on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics and management intent as outlined below:

Cash and cash equivalents        Amortized cost
Trade and other receivables        Amortized cost
Trade and other payables        Amortized cost
Contingent consideration        Fair value through profit or loss
Lease obligations        Amortized cost

•Impairment of financial assets

An expected credit loss (“ECL”) model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost and subject to the ECL model consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company applies the simplified approach to impairment for trade and other receivables by recognizing lifetime expected losses on initial recognition through both the analysis of historical defaults and a reassessment of counterparty credit risk in revenue contracts on an annual basis.

Circles Collective Inc.

On April 3, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Circles Collective Inc. (o/a PeerBoard), a plug and play community-as-a-service platform based in the United States. The acquisition of PeerBoard will expand Docebo’s external training offering and enhance the Company’s social learning capabilities.

Total purchase consideration of $2,991, consisting of: (i) cash paid on closing of $2,526; and (ii) a cash holdback amount of $466 (maximum undiscounted amount of $500) payable on the second year anniversary of the acquisition. The issuance of an additional 26,185 common shares, at a fair value of $40.74 (C$51.68) per share, is payable through April 2026 to an employee of the acquiree contingent on continued employment and is accounted for as compensation for post-acquisition services.

In addition, potential future consideration of up to $4,000 in cash over the three years following the closing date is owing to an employee of the acquiree based on the achievement of both performance milestones and continued employment. Given the continued employment requirement, these earn-out payouts will be accounted for as compensation for post-acquisition services.

Transaction costs relating to due diligence fees, legal costs, accounting fees, advisory fees and other professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounting to $522 were incurred in relation to the acquisition. These amounts have been expensed as incurred within general and administrative expenses.

The Company performed an annual goodwill impairment test of the Company’s single CGU using the fair value less costs to sell model. The fair value measurement was determined based on the Company’s market capitalization, which is categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and the costs to sell were assumed to be approximately 5% of the fair value measurement. The recoverable amount of goodwill exceeded the carrying value as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, therefore no impairment loss was recorded. Reasonable possible changes in key assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of goodwill to fall below the carrying value.

11 Employee benefit obligation

The Company’s employee benefit obligation relates to an employee severance indemnity, which is mandatory pursuant to the Italian Civil Code and obligates the employer to pay deferred compensation based on the employees’ years of service and the compensation earned by the employee during the service period. From January 1, 2007, Italian law gives an employee the choice of directing his or her entitlement either to a supplementary pension fund or to leave the severance indemnity as an obligation to the Company. The liability is calculated by an external actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The carrying value of the benefit obligation as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is:

Stock options

In 2016, the Company established a stock option plan (the “Legacy Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to determine, among other things, the eligibility of individuals to participate in the Legacy Option Plan and the term, vesting periods and the exercise price of options granted to individuals under the Legacy Option Plan, subject to the provisions of the Legacy Option Plan.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)
Each share option is exercisable for one common share of the Company. No amounts were paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights.

In connection with the IPO on October 8, 2019, the Legacy Option Plan was amended such that no further awards can be made under the Legacy Option Plan. In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted an omnibus incentive plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) which allows the Board of Directors to grant long-term equity-based awards, including stock options, DSUs, RSUs and PSUs, to eligible participants. As determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Compensation Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is the Plan Administrator (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Plan Administrator determines, subject to full approval of the Board of Directors, which directors, officers, consultants and employees are eligible to receive awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the time or times at which awards may be granted, the conditions under which awards may be granted or forfeited to the Company, the number of common shares to be covered by any award, the exercise price of any award, whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the common shares issuable pursuant to grants of any award, and the nature of any such restrictions or limitations, any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any award, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator may determine.

As of December 31, 2024, the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 2,845,420.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following attributes because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can realize the benefits. Deferred tax assets for Canadian tax attributes are recognized based on management's determination that sufficient future taxable profits in Canada are expected to be available to utilize the benefits of the associated deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses.

22 Financial instruments and risk management

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from deposits with banks and outstanding receivables. The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. Due to the Company’s diversified customer base, there is no particular concentration of credit risk related to the Company’s trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure timely collection of amounts.

The Company does not hold any collateral as security but mitigates this risk by dealing only with what management believes to be financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance.

The aging of trade receivables is as follows:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company mitigates liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows, the issuance of share capital and the issuance of debt. Our trade and other payables are all due within twelve months from the date of these financial statements.

If unanticipated events occur that impact the Company’s ability to meet its forecast and continue to fund customer acquisition cost, infrastructure improvement, maintenance and administrative requirements, the Company may need to take additional measures to increase its liquidity and capital resources, including obtaining additional debt or equity financing or strategically altering the business forecast and plan. In this case, there is no guarantee that the Company will obtain satisfactory financing terms or adequate financing. Failure to obtain adequate financing on satisfactory terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.

•Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The Company’s primary exposure with respect to foreign currencies is from US dollar denominated cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and borrowings in entities whose functional currency is other than US dollars. The net carrying value of these US denominated balances held in entities with Euro, Pound Sterling and Canadian dollars as their functional currency as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 presented in US dollars is as follows:

2024
2023
EUR CAD EUR CAD
$ $ $ $
Cash and cash equivalents 1,382  16,655  520  30,358 
Trade and other receivables 1,286  1,877  783  1,692 
Trade and other payables (813) (2,587) (143) (2,028)
1,855  15,945  1,160  30,022 

A 1% strengthening of the above currencies against the US dollar would have a corresponding increase (decrease) in net income (loss) by the amounts shown below. The sensitivity associated with a 1% weakening of a particular currency would be equal and opposite. This assumes that each currency moves in isolation.

2023

•Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 as there are no long-term borrowings outstanding.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, except share amounts)

•Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to other price risk as at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Fair values

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these items or being carried at fair value. The risk of a material change in fair value is not considered to be significant. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest-level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices as at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

Contingent consideration is classified as a Level 3 financial instrument as the inputs are not observable and there is no market based activity. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been calculated using discounted cash flows and was $2,630 as at the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2023, management determined that the performance milestones for the fiscal year ended 2023 were not achieved, and therefore, a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $1.2 million was recognized, resulting in the extinguishment of the contingent consideration liability of $1.2 million.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers of amounts between levels in the fair value hierarchy.

23 Segment information

The Company reports segment information based on internal reports used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make operating and resource allocation decisions and to assess performance. The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

All amounts are in thousands of United States dollars except where otherwise indicated.

This MD&A is dated as of February 27, 2025.

Forward-looking Information

This MD&A contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (collectively, “forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and may include information regarding our financial position, business strategy, macroeconomic conditions and global economic uncertainty, war and inflation, including actions of Central banks to contain it, on our business, growth strategies, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. Particularly, information regarding our expectations of future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities or the markets in which we operate is forward-looking information.

•such other factors discussed in greater detail under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Information Form dated February 27, 2025 (“AIF”), which is available under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. The opinions, estimates or assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail in “Summary of Factors Affecting our Performance” and in the “Risk Factors” section of our AIF, should be considered carefully by prospective investors.

Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made.

Overview

At Docebo, our mission is to redefine the way enterprises, including their internal and external workforces, partners and customers, learn by applying new technologies to the traditional corporate learning management system (“LMS”) market. Founded in 2005, Docebo is a powerful learning platform, built for the business of learning. Docebo helps organizations around the world deliver scalable, personalized learning to customers, partners, and employees, driving productivity, engagement, revenue, and growth. The Docebo Platform is stable and intuitive, with innovative technology for content generation, automation, and analytics, along with the advanced AI capabilities.
2





This enables businesses to create and manage content, effectively train diverse audiences, and measure the impact of their learning programs, all from a single platform.

Our platform is now used by almost 4,000 companies of all sizes, providing access to learners situated around the world in a variety of languages. Our customers range from Small and Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs) to large globally distributed enterprises in a wide variety of industries. We have registered offices in Toronto, Canada, Athens, Georgia (USA), Wilmington, Delaware (USA), Biassono, Italy, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, London, England, Paris, France, Frankfurt, Germany, Melbourne, Australia, and Dublin, Ireland. Our platform is sold primarily through a direct sales force located in several of these offices. We also have relationships with channel, service, technology and systems integrator partners around the world.

The Docebo Learning Platform currently includes the following capabilities: (i) “Learning Management and Delivery”, (ii) “Content Marketplace”, (iii) “Insights”, (iv) “Learning Evaluation”, (v) “Advanced Analytics”, (vi) “Communities”, (vii) “eCommerce”, (viii) “Integrations”, (ix) “Headless Learning”, and (x) “AI Authoring”.

The Docebo Learning Platform is a cloud-based solution that allows learning administrators to deliver scalable and flexible personalized learning experiences, from formal training to social learning, to multiple internal, external and blended audiences.

Docebo’s Content Marketplace allows learning administrators to access the industry’s best off-the-shelf learning content and provide their learners with high-quality, predeveloped learning content. Learning administrators can partner with a Docebo Content specialist to help curate the right resources from our library of 40,000+ courses.

The Insights module allows organizations to understand the results of their learning programs with data visualizations that are straightforward and actionable. With features like modern interactive dashboards for Super Admins and Power Users, it offers a centralized source for all learning analytics needs. Customers can swiftly build, discover, and share meaningful insights, enabling quick and impactful decision-making on learning performance based on a single, reliable source of truth.

The Learning Evaluation module empowers learning administrators to incorporate the learner’s perspective into their analyses by facilitating the collection of feedback. This feedback enables organizations to demonstrate and enhance the effectiveness of their training programs while validating their investment in learning. Admins can gain insights into how learning influences employee experience and performance through a combination of pre-built and custom questionnaires, tailored evaluation processes, and relevant learning benchmarks and metrics.

The Advanced Analytics Pack combines two essential tools for organizations ready to elevate their learning data and analytics. It offers seamless integration of learning data into any data ecosystem and Business Intelligence (BI) tool, allowing organizations to incorporate their learning and development data into a central repository. This integration helps them understand how learning impacts their business and contributes to their goals. Additionally, it unlocks a powerful BI tool within the Docebo platform, equipping Learning and Development teams with the resources they need to create customized metrics tailored to their specific needs. With advanced features at their fingertips, teams can confidently make data-driven decisions whenever necessary.

The Communities module seamlessly integrates a dynamic hub into the learning environment, enabling interactive learner communities to become a central part of the learning experience. With features like Q&A functionality, forums, spaces, personalized member profiles, rich moderation tools, and 1:1 messaging, the Communities module fosters a collaborative and engaging learning atmosphere. Designed to enhance both knowledge sharing and community interaction, it enriches the overall learning journey by driving collaboration and creating a strong sense of belonging among users.

The eCommerce module allows administrators to monetize from digital training content, seamlessly managing and selling training offerings—whether it is courses, subscriptions, or content licensing—all from a single platform. With centralized control over pricing, catalog management, and discounts, admins can create public landing pages to boost content visibility and customize learning by branch or group. Learners benefit from flexible purchasing options, including Training Credits, coupons, and discounts, ensuring a smooth, personalized buying experience through secure transactions across multiple payment gateways.

Docebo Integrations allow organizations to integrate Docebo with other business systems across their tech stack to improve the learner experience, drive efficiencies and scale learning programs. Connect with SSO, webinar tools, HR systems and more with off-the-shelf options or build and customize your own integrations and workflows for more unique requirements.

Headless Learning allows businesses to build learning experiences outside of the Docebo learning environment in their own products or web environments so people can access learning where and when they need it, without having to switch between tools.

AI Authoring allows users to use artificial intelligence to help create modern e-learning courses directly within Docebo. This capability is a fast-moving and evolving part of the platform, and users can expect rapid development here to enhance Docebo’s AI offering.

Additional modules can also be purchased for specific use cases and needs, including: “Docebo for Salesforce”, “Docebo Embed (OEM)”, “Docebo Mobile App Publisher”, and “Docebo for Microsoft Teams”. Docebo for Salesforce is a native integration that leverages Salesforce’s API and technology architecture to produce a learning experience that remains uniform no matter the use-case. Docebo Embed (OEM) eliminates disjointed learner experiences, long development cycles and ineffective partner models by allowing original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) to embed and re-sell the Docebo learning platform as a part of their software, including human capital management (“HCM”), risk management and retail/hospitality SaaS products. Docebo’s Mobile App Publisher product allows companies to create their own branded version of the award-winning “Docebo Go.Learn” mobile learning application and publish it as their own in Apple’s App Store, the Google Play Store or in their own Apple Store for Enterprise. Docebo Extended Enterprise breeds customer education, partner enablement, and retention by allowing customers to train multiple external audiences with a single LMS solution. Lastly, Docebo for Microsoft Teams is designed to remove barriers to learning, drive adoption and increase productivity by bringing learning directly into Microsoft Teams, where people at organizations who use this as their collaboration tool, already spend a large part of their time.

We generate revenue primarily from the provision of access to our platform, which is typically provided on the basis of an annual subscription fee and prepaid on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. We offer our customers the flexibility to choose annual or multi-year contract terms, with the majority of our enterprise customers choosing multi-year terms. This results in a relatively smooth revenue curve with good visibility into near-term revenue growth. We typically enter into subscription agreements with our customers, with pricing based on the number of active or registered users, with minimum user commitment levels, in a measured time period, and the number of modules requested by the customer. Our goal is to continue to grow revenues arising from our existing customer base as well as adding new subscription customers to our platform. Our business does not have significant seasonal attributes, although historically sales in the fourth quarter have tended to be slightly stronger than the first three. The Company operates on a global basis and for this reason has decided to report its consolidated financial results in U.S. dollars notwithstanding that the Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company does not currently hedge its exposure to currencies different than its functional currency.

The Company’s shares are listed under the symbol “DCBO” on both the Toronto Stock Exchange, as of October 8, 2019, following the completion of its initial public offering in Canada (the “TSX IPO”) and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”), as of December 3, 2020, following the completion of its initial public offering in the United States (the “Nasdaq IPO” and together with the TSX IPO, the “IPOs”).

Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in the software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) industry. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore not necessarily 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 our results of operations from management’s perspective.
4





Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with alternative measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures, including SaaS industry metrics, in the evaluation of companies in the SaaS industry. Management also uses non-IFRS measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, the preparation of annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. The non-IFRS measures referred to in this MD&A include “Annual Recurring Revenue”, “Average Contract Value”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Earnings per Share - Basic and Diluted”, “Working Capital” and “Free Cash Flow”.

Key Performance Indicators

We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the term of the subscription period under the provisions of our agreements with customers. The terms of our agreements, combined with high customer retention rates, provides us with a significant degree of visibility into our near-term revenues. Management uses a number of metrics, including the ones identified below, to measure the Company’s performance and customer trends, which are used to prepare financial plans and shape future strategy. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.

•Annual Recurring Revenue: We define Annual Recurring Revenue as the annualized equivalent value of the subscription revenue of all existing contracts (including OEM contracts) as at the date being measured, excluding non-recurring revenues from implementation, support and maintenance fees. Our customers generally enter into annual or multi-year contracts which are non-cancellable or cancellable with penalty. Accordingly, our calculation of Annual Recurring Revenue assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal. Subscription agreements may be subject to price increases upon renewal reflecting both inflationary increases and the additional value provided by our solutions. In addition to the expected increase in subscription revenue from price increases over time, existing customers may subscribe for additional features, learners or services during the term. We believe that this measure provides a fair real-time measure of performance in a subscription-based environment. Annual Recurring Revenue provides us with visibility for consistent and predictable growth to our cash flows. Our strong total revenue growth coupled with increasing Annual Recurring Revenue indicates the continued strength in the expansion of our business and will continue to be our focus on a go-forward basis.

•Average Contract Value: Average Contract Value is calculated as total Annual Recurring Revenue divided by the number of active customers. All references to the number of customers or companies we serve is based on contracted customers, including underlying OEM customers.

•Net Dollar Retention Rate: We believe that our ability to retain and expand a customer relationship is an indicator of the stability of our revenue base and long-term value of our customers. We assess our performance in this area using a metric we refer to as Net Dollar Retention Rate. We compare the aggregate subscription fees contractually committed for a full month under all customer agreements (the “Total Contractual Monthly Subscription Revenue”) of our total customer base (excluding OEM partners with revenue share agreements) as of the beginning of each month to the Total Contractual Monthly Subscription Revenue of the same group at the end of the month. The Net Dollar Retention Rate includes the effect, on a dollar-weighted value basis, of our subscriptions that expand, renew, contract, or attrit, but excludes the Total Contractual Monthly Subscription Revenue from new customers during the years.

Annual Recurring Revenue, Average Contract Value and Net Dollar Retention Rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

Annual Recurring Revenue (in millions of US dollars) 219.7 194.3 25.4 13.1%
Average Contract Value (in thousands of US dollars)
55.2

3.5 6.8%
Net Dollar Retention Rate 100% 104% (4.0)% (3.8)%

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding net finance income, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, other income, foreign exchange gains and losses, acquisition related compensation, transaction related expenses and restructuring costs, if any.

The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA presented in our financial statements is net income.

(1)Finance income, net, is primarily related to interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents as the funds are invested in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing marketable securities which is offset by interest expenses incurred on lease obligations, and contingent consideration as well as bank fees and other expenses.

(2)Depreciation and amortization expense is primarily related to depreciation expense on right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”), property and equipment and acquired intangible assets.

(3)These expenses represent non-cash expenditures recognized in connection with the issuance of share-based compensation to our employees and directors and cash payroll taxes paid on gains earned by option holders when stock options are exercised.

(4)Other (income) expense, net is primarily comprised of rental income from subleasing office space.

(5)These non-cash gains and losses relate to foreign exchange translation.

(6)These costs represent the earn-out portion of the consideration paid to the vendors of previously acquired businesses that is associated with the achievement of certain acquisition related performance and other obligations.

(7)These expenses relate to professional, legal, consulting, accounting and other fees related to acquisition activities that would otherwise have not been incurred and are not considered an expense indicative of continuing operations.

(8)    There was a reduction in workforce during the second quarter of 2023 that resulted in severance payments to employees. Certain functions and the associated management structure were reorganized to realize synergies and ensure organizational agility.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share - Basic and Diluted

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, acquisition related compensation, transaction related expenses, restructuring costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, and income taxes.

Adjusted Earnings per share - basic and diluted is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of common shares (basic and diluted).

The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income presented in our financial statements is net income.

Summary of Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depends on many factors, including those described below. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges, some of which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of the AIF.

Market adoption of cloud-based learning solutions may not grow as we expect, which may harm our business and results of operations and even if market demand for such solutions increases, the demand for our platform may not increase.

We believe our future success will depend in part on the growth, if any, in the demand for cloud-based learning management solutions, particularly enterprise-grade solutions. The widespread adoption of our platform depends not only on strong demand for new forms of learning management, but also for solutions delivered via a SaaS business model in particular. The market for cloud-based learning solutions is less mature than the market for in-person learning solutions, which many businesses currently use, and these businesses may be slow or unwilling to migrate from these legacy approaches. As such, it is difficult to predict customer demand for our platform, customer adoption and renewal, the rate at which existing customers expand their engagement with our platform, the size and growth rate of the market for our platform, the entry of competitive products into the market, or the success of existing competitive products.
7





Furthermore, even if businesses want to adopt a cloud-based technology learning solution, it may take them a long time to fully transition to this type of learning solution or they could be delayed due to budget constraints, weakening economic conditions, or other factors. A portion of our customer base is comprised of Small and Medium Sized Businesses (“SMBs”). We may experience customer turnover in respect of such SMBs, which are more susceptible than larger businesses to changes in general economic conditions and other risks affecting their businesses, such as uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, including with respect to inflationary pressures, changes in consumer spending, exchange rate fluctuations, and increases of interest rates. Many of these SMBs may be in the entrepreneurial stage of their development and there is no guarantee that their businesses will succeed. Some businesses may also have long-term contracts with existing vendors and cannot switch in the short term. Even if market demand for cloud-based technology learning solutions generally increases, we can make no assurance that adoption of our platform will also increase. If the market for cloud-based technology learning solutions does not grow as we expect or our platform does not achieve widespread adoption it could result in reduced customer spending, customer attrition, and decreased revenue, any of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations. We further believe that a significant portion of our market capitalization is based on our revenue growth rate. If we are unable to continue growing our revenues, or if new revenues are offset by the rate at which existing customers cancel, do not renew or downgrade their recurring subscriptions (known in the industry as “churn”), our market capitalization may be negatively impacted, which could limit our access to capital, deter potential new investors, and harm our overall business and operations.

Natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic or adverse events, including adverse and uncertain macroeconomic conditions may adversely affect our business, operating results or financial position.

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other adverse weather and climate conditions; unforeseen public health crises, and other pandemics and epidemics; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, and other political instability; or other catastrophic events, have and could in the future disrupt our operations or the operations of one or more of our third-party providers and vendors.

Additionally, our business and results of operations have been, and may continue to be, impacted by recent adverse and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, including higher inflation, higher interest rates, and fluctuations or volatility in capital markets or foreign currency exchange rates, the collapse of financial institutions and related uncertainty regarding geopolitical events such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and the surrounding area. In particular, we have experienced in certain instances, and may continue to experience, longer sales cycles or generally increased scrutiny on spending from existing and potential customers due to macroeconomic uncertainty. We cannot be certain how long these uncertain macroeconomic conditions and the resulting effects on our industry, our business strategy, and customers will persist.

If we fail to retain key employees or to recruit qualified technical and sales personnel, our business could be harmed.

We believe that our success depends on the continued employment of our senior management and other key employees. In addition, because our future success is dependent on our ability to continue to enhance and introduce new platform features, we are heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel with the requisite education, background, and industry experience. As we expand our business, our continued success will also depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified sales, marketing, and operational personnel capable of supporting a larger and more diverse customer base. We and our competitors continue to face significant turnover in our employee base. Qualified individuals are in high demand in our industry, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. The loss of the services of a significant number of our technology or sales personnel could be disruptive to our business development efforts or customer relationships. In addition, if any of our key employees join a competitor or decides to otherwise compete with us, we may experience a material disruption of our operations and business strategy, which may cause us to lose customers or increase operating expenses and may divert our attention as we seek to recruit replacements for the departed employees. Further, changes we make to our current and future work environments may not meet the needs or expectations of our employees or may be perceived as less favourable compared to other companies’ policies, which could negatively impact our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel. Our future work strategy and continued efforts related to employee onboarding, training and development and retention may not be successful.
8





Further, our future work strategy is continuing to evolve and may not meet the needs of our existing and potential future employees and they may prefer work models offered by other companies.

If our customers do not expand their use of our platform beyond their current organizational engagements or renew their existing contracts with us, our ability to grow our business and improve our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to increase the adoption of our platform by our existing customers and future customers. Many of our customers initially use our platform in specific groups or departments within their organization. In addition, our customers may initially use our platform for a specific use case. Our ability to grow our business depends in part on our ability to persuade customers to expand their use of our platform to address additional use cases. Further, to continue to grow our business, it is important that our customers renew their subscriptions when existing contracts expire and that we expand our relationships with our existing customers. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions, and our customers may decide not to renew their subscriptions with a similar contract period, at the same prices and terms, with the same or a greater number of learners, or at all. In the past, some of our customers have elected not to renew their agreements with us, and it is difficult to accurately predict whether we will have future success in retaining customers or expanding our relationships with them. We offer our customers the flexibility to choose annual or multi-year contract terms. Although our contracts generally contain cancellation penalties, the difficulty and costs associated with switching to a competitor may not be significant for certain customers. New customers joining our platform may also decide not to continue or renew their subscription for reasons outside of our control. We have experienced significant growth in the number of learners of our platform, but we do not know whether we will continue to achieve similar learner growth in the future, or whether learner growth could be offset by increased churn. Our ability to retain our customers and expand our deployments with them may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our platform, our customer support, our prices, the prices and features of competing solutions, reductions in our customers’ spending levels, insufficient learner adoption of our platform, and new feature releases. If our customers do not purchase additional subscriptions or renew their existing subscriptions, renew on less favorable terms, or fail to continue to expand their engagement with our platform, our revenue may decline or grow less quickly than anticipated, which would harm our results of operations.

Regulatory requirements placed on our software and services could impose increased costs on us, delay or prevent our introduction of new products and services and impair the function or value of our existing products and services.

Our products and services are currently subject to various regulatory requirements, including laws, regulations and policies that govern the amount and type of taxes we are required to collect and remit, including with respect to internet transactions with customers in jurisdictions in which we do not have a physical presence. New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances applicable to solutions provided over the internet could be enacted at any time by any local, regional, or national governmental authority, possibly with retroactive effect. Recent jurisprudence of the U.S. Supreme Court requires that online retailers collect sales and use taxes imposed by various U.S. states, even if the retailer has no physical presence in that state. We may also be subject to anti-spam laws, regulations, and policies. In Canada, the regulatory authority responsible for enforcement of Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”) has issued a bulletin that signals broad potential liability for electronic intermediaries (such as hosting providers and SaaS providers) for failing to take sufficient steps to stop third parties from using intermediary services and facilities to violate CASL, including prohibitions on sending electronic marketing messages or installing computer programs without consent.

Our business may become subject to increasing regulatory requirements, and as these requirements proliferate, we may be required to change or adapt our products and services to comply. Changing regulatory requirements might render our products and services obsolete or might block us from developing new products and services. This might in turn impose additional costs upon us to comply or to further develop our products and services. It might also make introduction of new products and services more costly or more time-consuming than we currently anticipate and could even prevent introduction by us of new products or services or cause the continuation of our existing products or services to become more costly.
9





Accordingly, such regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Additionally, as with many innovations, machine learning and AI present additional risks and challenges that could affect their adoption and therefore our business. For example, the development of machine learning and AI present emerging governance and transparency issues, including with respect to ethics and human rights, and if we enable or offer solutions on this front that are controversial, due to their impact, or perceived impact, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. New regulations or standards have been or may be adopted in the space of AI such as the Draft Bill C-27 (Canada), which includes the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act in Canada (June 2022) and the EU AI Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024 and includes a transitional period to be compliant with the law up to 24 months after its official publication. In the U.S., the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) released, on January 26, 2023, the non-binding AI Risk Management Framework in the design, development, use and evaluation of AI products, services, and systems. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission issued several publications to set forth ground rules for AI development and can use its existing authority under various existing consumer protection laws to expand AI enforcement. The growing focus on AI regulations and guidelines may increase the burden and cost of research and development in this area, including by causing us to incur significant costs in order to adapt certain components of our platform to the requirements for the use of AI systems, subjecting us to brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, legal liability, or regulatory penalties. It may also restrict our or our customers’ ability to fully utilize AI and machine learning technologies as a result of legal and regulatory restrictions on data governance, including data collection and processing. Also, our positions on social and ethical issues may impact our ability to attract or retain employees, customers, other users and overall affect our public perception. In particular, our brand and reputation are associated with our public commitments to sustainability, equality, inclusivity, accessibility, and ethical use, and any perceived changes in our dedication to these commitments could impact our relationships with potential and current customers and other users. We cannot determine the impact these emerging and future laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. Such laws, regulations and standards are often subject to differing interpretations and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions, leading to uncertainty about how government or regulatory authorities will assess our AI practices.

Our sales to government entities are subject to a number of challenges and risks, which could negatively impact our business.

We sell to U.S. and Canadian government customers. Sales to such entities, whether direct or indirect, are subject to a number of challenges and risks. Selling to such entities can be highly competitive, expensive, and time-consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that these efforts will generate a sale. Contracting with certain federal government entities (or higher-tier contractors to such entities) requires additional compliance from us and our offerings, including with contractual requirements, regulations, and executive orders; compliance with such requirements may require us to change certain of our operations and involve significant effort and expense, which could harm our margins, business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we fail to achieve compliance with these standards and requirements, we may be disqualified from selling our offerings to such governmental entities, or be at a competitive disadvantage, which would harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Government contracting requirements may also change and in doing so restrict our ability to sell into the government sector until we have complied with such requirements. Further, achieving and maintaining certain government certifications, such as U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (“FedRAMP”) authorization for our product offerings, may require significant upfront cost, time, and resources. FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program providing a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. We are in the process of seeking FedRAMP authorization for certain of our product offerings. If we do not obtain this authorization, we will not be able to sell our products, directly or indirectly, to certain federal government and other public sector customers as well as private sector customers that require such certification for their intended use cases, which could harm our growth, business, and results of operations. This may also harm our competitive position against larger enterprises whose competitive offerings are FedRAMP authorized. Further, there can be no assurance that we will secure commitments or contracts with government entities even if we obtain such certifications, which could harm our margins, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Government demand and payment for our offerings have been and may in the future be negatively impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, such as federal government shutdowns, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our offering.
10






Further, governmental entities or their contractors may demand contract terms that differ from our standard arrangements and are less favorable than terms agreed with private sector customers. Such entities may have statutory, contractual or other legal rights to terminate contracts with us or our partners for convenience or for other reasons, some of which may be outside our control. Any termination for default/cause may adversely affect our ability to contract with other government customers as well as our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Governments and whistleblowers routinely investigate and audit government contractors’ administrative processes and compliance with applicable legal requirements. An unfavorable investigation or audit could result in the government refusing to continue buying our subscriptions, a reduction of revenue, suspension or debarment from government contracting, or fines or civil or criminal liability if the audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, including under the False Claims Act, which could adversely affect our results of operations and reputation.

Additionally, we generally contract with government customers through the indirect sales channel (i.e., resellers and distributors). Accordingly, a large majority of our revenue from public sector customers comes from a small number of distribution and resale partners. This concentration presents a risk of lost revenue in the case of a partner’s bankruptcy, a dispute, nonpayment, or other business disruptions, as well as a risk of loss of access to certain public sector customers if a partner shuts down for any reason, or is suspended or debarred from government contracting in the event of their noncompliance with their own contractual and regulatory requirements. The loss of a reseller with which we do a substantial amount of business, together with our inability to replace them, could negatively impact our business, growth, financial condition and results of operations.

Our sales cycles can be unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable time and expense. As a result, the timing of our billings and revenue are difficult to predict and may vary substantially from period to period, which may cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly.

Our results of operations may fluctuate, in part, because of the resource intensive nature of our sales efforts, the length and variability of our sales cycle, and difficulty in adjusting our operating expenses in the short term. The length of our sales cycle, from identification of the opportunity to delivery of access to our platform, can vary from customer to customer, with sales to larger businesses typically taking longer to complete. In addition, as we increase our sales to larger businesses, we face longer more complex customer requirements, and substantial upfront sales costs. With larger businesses, the decision to subscribe to our platform frequently requires the approvals of multiple management personnel and more technical personnel than would be typical of a smaller organization and, accordingly, sales to larger businesses may require us to invest more time educating these potential customers. Purchases by larger businesses are also frequently subject to budget constraints and unplanned administrative, processing, and other delays, which means we may not be able to come to agreement on the terms of the sale to larger businesses. If there is a reduction in information technology spending, due to weak economic conditions or otherwise, it may take several months, or even several quarters, for marketing opportunities to materialize.

To the extent our competitors develop products that our prospective customers view as equivalent or superior to our platform, our average sales cycle may increase. Additionally, if a key sales member leaves our employment or if our primary point of contact at a customer or potential customers leaves his or her employment, our sales cycle may be further extended or customer opportunities may be lost. As a result of the buying behavior of enterprises and the efforts of our sales force and partners to meet or exceed their sales objectives by the end of each fiscal quarter, we may generate a substantial portion of billings towards the end of each fiscal quarter. If a customer’s decision to purchase our platform is delayed or if the implementation of our platform takes longer than originally anticipated, the date on which we may recognize revenues from these transactions may be delayed. The unpredictability of the timing of customer purchases, particularly large purchases, could cause our billings and revenue to vary from period to period or to fall below expected levels for a given period, which will adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may not receive significant revenue as a result of our current research and development efforts.

11





We reinvest a large percentage of our revenue in research and development, including AI. Our investment in our current research and development efforts may not provide a sufficient, timely return. We make and will continue to make significant investments in software research and development and related product opportunities. Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative. Commercial success depends on many factors including the degree of innovation of the products developed through our research and development efforts, sufficient support from our strategic partners, and effective distribution and marketing. Accelerated product introductions and short product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and development. These expenditures may materially adversely affect our operating results if they are not offset by revenue increases. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts in order to maintain our competitive position. However, significant revenue from new product and service investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, new products and services may not be profitable.

We believe our long-term success depends in part on continuing to expand our international sales and operations and we are therefore subject to a number of risks associated with international sales and operations.

We intend to continue expanding our international operations. In order to maintain and expand our sales internationally, we need to hire and train experienced personnel to staff and manage our foreign operations. To the extent that we experience difficulties in recruiting, training, managing, and retaining international staff, and specifically sales and marketing personnel, we may experience difficulties in growing our international sales.

Additionally, our international sales are subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

•unexpected costs and errors in tailoring our products for individual markets, including translation into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices;

•difficulties in adapting to customer desires due to language and cultural differences;

•new and different sources of competition;

•increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

•increased expenses associated with international sales and operations, including establishing and maintaining office space and equipment for our international operations;

•lack of familiarity and burdens of complying with foreign laws, legal standards, privacy standards, regulatory requirements, tariffs, and other barriers;

•greater difficulty in enforcing contracts and accounts receivable collection and longer collection periods;

•practical difficulties of enforcing intellectual property rights in countries with fluctuating laws and standards and reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;

•unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxes, trade laws, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties, or other trade restrictions, including the possibility of tariffs imposed by the U.S. federal government on the sale of Canadian software, which could have a direct or indirect impact on our international sales;

•limitations on technology infrastructure, which could limit our ability to migrate international operations to our existing systems, which could result in increased costs;

•difficulties in managing and staffing international operations and differing employer/employee relationships and local employment laws;

•fluctuations in exchange rates that may increase the volatility of our foreign-based revenue; and

12





•potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax (or other tax) systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings.

Additionally, operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. We plan to continue investing substantial time and resources to expand our international operations, but we cannot be certain that these investments will produce desired levels of revenue or profitability. Furthermore, the imposition of tariffs by the United States or other governments (including the Canadian government) could have a significant impact on the industries in which our current and potential customers operate, which could result in reduced customer spending and decreased revenue.

These factors and other factors could harm our ability to gain future international revenue and, consequently, materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which may affect certain of our key performance indicators and our results of operations.

Revenues and operating expenses outside of Canada are often denominated in local functional currencies. Additionally, as we expand our international operations, we report our financial results in US dollars. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, including but not limited to the Canadian dollar, when translated into US dollars may have a significant impact on certain of our key performance indicators, including but not limited to our Annual Recurring Revenue, or otherwise affect our results of operations. We do not currently engage in currency hedging activities to limit the risk of unfavourable exchange rate fluctuations. In the future, we may use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts, to hedge certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The use of such hedging activities may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with strategic partners as well as our ability to successfully integrate our platform with third party applications.

In addition to growing our direct sales channels, we intend to pursue additional relationships with strategic partners, which includes OEMs, Value Added Resellers, system integrators and service partners. Identifying the proper strategic partners will be essential to this growth strategy. Negotiating and documenting relationships with appropriate strategic partners will require significant time and resources, as will integrating third-party content and technology. Our agreements with strategic partners may not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to strategic partners to favour their products or services or to prevent or reduce subscriptions to our solution, including through a simple integration. In addition, these distributors and providers may not perform as expected under our agreements, and we have had, and may in the future have, disagreements or disputes with such distributors and providers, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation. In addition, acquisitions of our strategic partners by our competitors or acquisitions by our strategic partners of our competitors could end our strategic relationship with the acquired or strategic partner and result in a decrease in the number of our current and potential customers. For example, in January 2024, an OEM partner that contributed approximately 9% of our 2023 revenue announced that it had acquired a competitive learning experience platform software provider. We took legal measures to enforce the terms of the agreement, and the parties amicably resolved the dispute on a confidential basis and agreed to dismiss the litigation. However, we expect the OEM customer to favor its acquired product for its end customers over time, which we expect will result in reduced subscriptions for our solutions and negative impacts to our growth rate, which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our strategic partnerships, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results could suffer. Even if we are successful, there can be no assurance that these relationships will result in improved operating results. A global economic slowdown and other factors could also adversely affect the businesses of our strategic partners, and it is possible that they may not be able to devote the resources we expect to the relationship.

13





Risks and challenges with the use of AI in our platform, including flawed algorithms, insufficient data sets and biased information, may result in reputational harm or liability.

Our platform uses AI, and we expect to continue building AI into our platform in the future. We envision a future in which AI operates within our cloud-based platform to offer an efficient and effective e-learning solution for our customers. As with many disruptive innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by us or others could impair the acceptance, utility and effectiveness of AI solutions. Our management aims to mitigate these risks through the development, implementation and ongoing review of an AI governance policy that aligns with our values, adheres to legal and regulatory standards and promotes the safety and well-being of various internal and external stakeholders. Our Board oversees these efforts, taking into account ethical considerations, mitigating exposure to any related material risks and participating in relevant Board education. Nonetheless, these deficiencies could undermine the decisions, predictions, or analysis AI applications produce, subjecting us to competitive harm, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. If we enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial because of their impact on human rights, privacy, employment, equity, accessibility or other social issues, we may experience brand or reputational harm. Also, decisions by our current suppliers of AI infrastructure, whether made voluntarily or compelled by external factors or regulatory requirements, to limit the provision of their services may result in our inability to procure alternatives from other suppliers in a timely and efficient manner or at all, and could adversely affect our ability to develop and operate AI systems for our customers.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Docebo has always been operated and managed as a single economic entity, notwithstanding the fact that it has operations in several different countries. There is one management team that directs the activities of all aspects of the Company and it is managed globally through global department heads. As a result, we believe that we have one operating segment, being the consolidated company. Over time, this may change as the Company grows and when this occurs we will reflect the change in our reporting practice.

Revenue

We generate revenue from the following two primary sources:

•Recurring Subscriptions to Our Learning Platform and Related Products. Our customers enter into agreements that provide for recurring subscription fees. The majority of the customer agreements currently being entered into have a term of one to three years and are non-cancellable or cancellable with penalty. Subscription revenue per contract will vary depending upon the particular products that each customer subscribes for, the number and type of learners intended to utilize the platform and the term of the agreement. Subscription revenue is typically recognized evenly over the enforceable term of a contract, commencing on the in-service date.

•Professional Services. Our customers generally require support in implementing our product and training their learners. This support can include system integration, application integration, learner training and any required process-change analysis. Normally, these services are purchased at the same time as the original customer agreement is completed and while they are usually delivered during the 60-180 days immediately following the effective date of the customer agreement, timing can vary. As a result, unlike the recognition of recurring subscription revenue, the recognition of professional service revenue can be recorded unevenly from period to period. When customer agreements are renewed, there is not typically a need for additional professional services so as overall revenue increases over time, the percentage of revenue that is generated from professional services will decrease. Revenues derived from professional services are recognized over the term that the service is provided.

Our agreements generally do not contain any cancellation or refund provisions without penalty, other than in the case of our default.

14





Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue is comprised of costs related to provisioning and hosting our learning platform and related products, the delivery of professional services, and customer support. Significant expenses included in cost of revenue include employee salaries and benefits expenses, web hosting fees, third party service fees, and software costs.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses are as follows:

•General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of employee salaries and benefits expenses for our finance, legal, administrative, human resources, and information technology and security teams. These costs also include consulting and professional service fees, transaction costs related to our acquisitions, software, travel, general office and administrative expenses, credit impairment losses, as well as public company costs including directors and officers liability insurance.

•Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses are comprised primarily of employee salaries and benefits expenses for our sales and marketing teams, amortization of contract acquisition costs, software, travel and advertising and marketing event costs. We intend to continue to grow our sales and marketing teams to support our growth strategy.

•Research and Development. Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of employee salaries and benefits for our product and innovation-related functions (net of tax credits), consulting and professional service fees, software, travel and web hosting fees, along with acquisition related payments. Our research and development team is focused on both continuous improvement of our existing learning platform, as well as developing new product modules and features. As Docebo’s growth continues, we expect our research and development costs to increase.

•Share-based Compensation. Share-based compensation expenses are comprised of the value of stock options granted to employees expensed over the vesting period of the options, deferred share units (“DSUs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) and shares issued pursuant to the Employee Share Purchase Plan. In addition, the Company’s board of directors may fix, from time to time, a portion of the total compensation (including an annual retainer) paid by the Company to a director in a calendar year for service on the Board and directors may elect to receive a portion of their total compensation (including cash retainer) in the form of DSUs.

•Foreign Exchange. Foreign exchange primarily relates to translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into functional currencies at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the end of each period.

•Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily relates to depreciation on property and equipment, and amortization of ROU assets and intangible assets. Property and equipment are comprised of furniture and office equipment, leasehold improvements and land and building. ROU assets are comprised of capitalized leases.

Total revenue increased by $7.8 million or 16% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 and increased by $36.1 million or 20% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in both periods was primarily due to growth in our customer base, as well as up-selling to existing customers, as the number of customers rose from 3,759 as at December 31, 2023 to 3,978 as at December 31, 2024 and the Average Contract Value per customer increased from approximately $52 thousand as at December 31, 2023 to approximately $55 thousand as at December 31, 2024. Average Contract Value is not a recognized measure under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million or 8% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 and decreased by $1.2 million or 4% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses decreased due to successful cost optimization efforts.

Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 17.4% to 13.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and decreased from 18.7% to 15.0% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

In Q1 2025, the Company initiated a workforce reduction of approximately 6.5% of its current workforce. The restructuring will result in one-time charges of approximately $3 million to $4 million recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025. These actions are expected to be largely completed by the end of the quarter, subject to local legal and consultation requirements. While certain roles are are being reduced, the Company remains committed to hiring in key strategic areas, with a strong focus on innovation, product development, and accelerating our AI product roadmap.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.3 million or 14% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 and increased by $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in personnel on the sales and marketing teams to support the Company’s growing customer base and sales expansion in new markets, as well as higher marketing and marketing event costs.

Our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 32.8% to 32.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and decreased from 37.2% to 32.0% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We expect to continue to grow our sales and marketing team and incrementally invest in advertising and marketing events for so long as we can efficiently increase our revenue base.

Percentage of total revenue 20.3  % 18.3  % 20.2  % 19.6  %

Research and development expenses increased by $2.6 million or 28% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 and increased by $8.4 million or 24% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in both periods was driven by the Company’s continued focus on maintaining and improving its existing platform and the development of new products, which resulted in higher personnel costs due to an increase in employee headcount, as well as additional consulting fees related to platform improvements. The increase was also driven by acquisition related compensation paid to the vendors of acquired businesses. For the three months-end December 31, 2023, a $0.8 million earn-out reversal occurred due to unmet performance obligations. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, acquisition related compensation added $1.5 million in costs compared to the prior year. On an absolute basis, we expect that research and development expenses will continue to grow as the Company maintains its efforts to keep its product at the leading edge of learning technology but will decrease as a percentage of revenue over time.

Our research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased from 18.3% to 20.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and increased from 19.6% to 20.2% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Share-based compensation expense remained relatively flat for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 and increased by $1.3 million or 21% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by equity compensation granted throughout the year.

Foreign exchange (gain) loss primarily relates to translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into functional currencies at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the end of each period. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents denominated in United States dollars. As a result of the movement of the United States dollar in comparison to the Canadian dollar (the Company’s functional currency), an unrealized foreign exchange gain was recorded for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which represents a significant portion of the movement during the periods.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the purchase of office equipment and office lease extensions as a result of
the continued growth of the Company’s personnel.

The decrease was driven by a lower cash balance as some of the funds invested in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing marketable securities were redeemed to repurchase common shares under the Company’s substantial issuer bid at the end of fiscal 2023, and under the normal course issuer bid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Other Expense (Income), net

Other (income) expense in the prior year is primarily comprised of losses incurred as a result of a terminated sublease offset by rental income from subleasing office space.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion of the 2024-2023 year-over-year changes in revenue.

Fiscal 2023 Compared to Fiscal 2022

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenues were $180.8 million and $142.9 million, respectively, an increase of $37.9 million or 27%. The significant revenue increase was primarily attributed to revenue from new customers, as well as up-selling to existing customers, as the number of customers rose from 3,394 as at December 31, 2022 to 3,759 as at December 31, 2023 and the Average Contract Value per customer increased from approximately $46 thousand as at December 31, 2022 to approximately $52 thousand as at December 31, 2023. Subscription revenue increased by $38.2 million or 29% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 due to initial revenues from customers who did not contribute to subscription revenue during the prior period, and growth from existing customers. Professional services
revenue decreased by $0.2 million or 2% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Net Income

Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion of the 2024-2023 year-over-year changes in net income.

Fiscal 2023 Compared to Fiscal 2022

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net income was $2.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Notwithstanding the significant increase in revenue in each period, the Company also incurred substantial increases in operating expenses to support the continued revenue growth which resulted in lower net income in 2023. The increase in operating expenses were primarily due to higher salaries and benefits related to an increase in headcount, and other operating costs required to support the Company’s growing operations, as well as foreign exchange fluctuations.

Total Assets

Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023

Total assets increased by $32.3 million or 20% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. The main driver of this amount was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $20.6 million due to increased revenues and timing of collections from customers.
21





Trade and other receivables and contract costs increased by $3.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, as a result of higher revenue recognized and the related receivables along with increased contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.

Fiscal 2023 Compared to Fiscal 2022

Total assets decreased by $125.3 million or 44% in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. The main driver of this amount was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $144.3 million due to purchases made under the NCIB and SIB, as defined under “Normal Course Issuer Bid” and “Substantial Issuer Bid” in this MD&A. The decrease in total
assets was partially offset by an increase in intangible assets and goodwill, contract costs, and trade and other receivables. The increase in intangible assets and goodwill of $9.5 million was a result of the acquisitions of PeerBoard and Edugo AI HK Limited (“Edugo.AI”). Contract costs and trade and other receivables increased by $6.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, as a result of higher revenue recognized and the related receivables along with increased contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.

Total Liabilities

Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023

Total liabilities increased by $25.3 million or 23% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. The main drivers of this increase was due to the automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) liability of $18.3 million in fiscal 2024. Additionally, deferred revenue increased by $5.8 million as we expanded our customer base and renewed existing customers, and trade and other payables increased by $3.2 million due to higher employee compensation-related expenses along with the timing of payments to vendors.

Fiscal 2023 Compared to Fiscal 2022

Total liabilities increased by $16.2 million or 18% in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. The main drivers of this increase were increases in deferred revenue of $11.6 million as we expanded our customer base and renewed existing customers, and trade and other payables of $5.6 million attributed to higher employee compensation-related expenses along with the timing of payments to vendors.

Revenue

Our total quarterly revenue increased sequentially for all periods presented which was primarily attributable to revenue from new customers, strong revenue retention and up-selling from existing customers, and delivery of professional services to customers. We cannot provide assurance that this pattern of sequential growth in revenue will continue.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income has improved or remained consistent relative to preceding periods as the Company continues to grow its revenue base while costs generally continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenue. The net losses incurred in prior periods were primarily attributable to unrealized losses in foreign exchange due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar.

See "Results of Operations" in this MD&A for a more detailed discussion of the year-over-year changes in revenues and net income.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financing

Overview

The general objectives of our capital management strategy are to preserve our capacity to continue operating, provide benefits to our stakeholders and provide an adequate return on investment to our shareholders by selling our platform and services at a price that is commensurate with the level of operating risk we assume. We thus determine the total amount of capital required consistent with risk levels. This capital structure is adjusted on a timely basis depending on changes in the economic environment and risks of the underlying assets. We are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Working Capital

Our primary source of cash flow is revenue from operations. Our approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that we always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities as they become due. We do so by monitoring cash flow and performing budget-to-actual analysis on a regular basis.

Working Capital as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $19.5 million and $21.5 million, respectively. Working Capital is defined as current assets, excluding the current portion of the net investment in finance lease and contract costs, minus current liabilities, excluding borrowings, if any, and the current portion of contingent consideration and lease obligations. Working Capital is not a recognized measure under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.

Our principal cash requirements are for Working Capital. Given our existing cash and cash equivalents, we believe there is sufficient liquidity to meet our current and short-term growth requirements in addition to our long-term strategic objectives.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $9.7 million compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by strong customer collections and the timing of payments to vendors.

Cash flows from operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were $29.2 million compared to $16.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by improved income before non-cash items as a result of stronger revenues while costs generally decreased as a percentage of total revenue compared to the same period in the prior year.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $0.3 million compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Cash outflows for investing activities primarily relate to investments in property and equipment to support business growth.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were $1.5 million compared to $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Cash outflows for investing activities in the comparative period primarily related to approximately $2.5 million cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of PeerBoard in April 2023 and approximately $6.2 million of cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of Edugo.AI in June 2023.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $2.0 million compared to $105.4 million used in financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was mainly due to cash inflows associated with the exercise of stock options and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, while the outflows during the three months ended December 31, 2023 related to the repurchase of common shares for cancellation of $108.2 million.

24





Cash flows used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were $6.8 million compared to $151.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash flows used in financing activities was driven by a reduction in cash outflows for common shares repurchased and cancelled, as the Company repurchased $11.0 million worth of common shares in 2024 compared to $159.4 million in 2023.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs, plus non-recurring expenditures such as the payment of acquisition-related compensation, the payment of transaction-related costs, and the payment of restructuring costs. Free Cash Flow is not a recognized measure under IFRS. See “Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”. The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow presented in our financial statements is cash flow from operating activities.

The following table reconciles our cash flows from operating activities to Free Cash Flow for the three months and fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2023:

Normal Course Issuer Bid and Substantial Issuer Bid

On May 15, 2023, the Company announced the commencement of a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to repurchase and cancel up to 1,650,672 of its common shares, representing approximately 5% of the total shares outstanding, over the 12-month period commencing May 18, 2023, and ending no later than May 17, 2024. All repurchases are made through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and are done at market prices.

In May 2023, the Company also entered into an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) with a third-party broker for purposes of allowing the Company to purchase common shares under the NCIB during the Company's self-imposed trading blackout periods. Under the ASPP, the broker is authorized to repurchase common shares during blackout periods, without consultation with the Company, on predefined terms, including share price, time period and subject to other limitations imposed by the Company and subject to rules and policies of the TSX and applicable securities laws, such as a daily purchase restriction.

Under the previous NCIB, the Company repurchased and cancelled a total of 1,523,608 common shares at an average price of $38.56 (C$51.13) per common share for total cash consideration, including transaction costs, of $58.7 million.

In December 2023, the Company completed a substantial issuer bid (the “SIB”) under which the Company purchased for cancellation 1,818,181 of its outstanding common shares, at a price of $55.00 per common share, for aggregate consideration of $100 million, representing approximately 5.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of expiry of the bid. The SIB commenced on November 23, 2023 and expired on December 28, 2023.

On May 6, 2024, the Company renewed its NCIB to repurchase and cancel up to 1,764,037 of its common shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float, over the 12-month period commencing May 20, 2024, and ending no later than May 19, 2025.
25





All repurchases are made through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and are done at market prices. In connection with the renewed NCIB, the Company entered into a new ASPP. The amounts paid in excess of the average book value of the common shares are charged to deficit. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 282,494 common shares for cancellation at an average price of $39.01 (C$53.04) per common share for total cash consideration of $11.0 million, including transaction costs.

A liability, representing the maximum amount the Company could be required to pay the designated broker under the ASPP, was recorded for $18.3 million as at December 31, 2024. The offsetting amount to the liability has been recorded within deficit.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations with a variety of expiration dates. The table below outlines our contractual obligations as at December 31, 2024:

Payments due by period
< 1 Year 1 to 3 Years > 4 Years Total
$ $ $
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 34,861  —  —  34,861 
Lease obligations1
1,393  153  —  1,546 
Acquisition holdback payable2
838  —  —  838 
Total 37,092  153  —  37,245 

1    Included in the lease obligations are short term leases and variable lease payments for operating and finance leases. Lease obligations primarily relate to office space and equipment leases. The remaining lease terms are between one and four years. See Note 6 of our audited consolidated financial statements for further details regarding leases.
2    Acquisition holdback payable relates to the purchase consideration from the PeerBoard and Edugo.AI acquisitions. The holdbacks are payable within two years from the date of acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In relation to the PeerBoard acquisition, as at December 31, 2024, $1.3 million of up to $4.0 million in additional consideration was paid. The remainder may be payable over the three years following the closing date of April 3, 2023, representing the earn-out portion of the consideration paid by the Company or one of its subsidiaries in connection with the transaction, based on certain performance milestones and employment obligations.

In relation to the Edugo.AI acquisition, as at December 31, 2024, $3.3 million of up to $8.0 million in additional consideration was paid. The remainder may be payable over the three years following the closing date of June 9, 2023, representing the earn-out portion of the consideration paid by the Company or one of its subsidiaries in connection with the transaction, based on certain performance milestones and employment obligations.

We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements, other than certain operating leases that are not recognized as ROU assets under IFRS 16. From time to time, we may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of operations.

Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide services (including our Platform) to, and enter into contracts with, related parties on terms similar to those offered to non-related parties. We have no related party transactions, other than those noted in Note 20 in our audited consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

Credit Risk
26






Generally, the carrying amount in our consolidated statement of financial position exposed to credit risk, net of any applicable provisions for losses, represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

Our credit risk is primarily attributable to our cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. We do not require guarantees from our customers. Credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents is managed by maintaining balances only with highly-rated financial institutions.

Due to our diverse customer base, there is no particular concentration of credit risk related to our trade and other receivables. Moreover, balances for trade and other receivables are managed and analyzed on an ongoing basis to ensure provisions for expected credit losses are established and maintained at an appropriate amount.

We estimate provisions for expected credit losses based upon the expected collectability of all trade and other receivables, which takes into account the number of days past due, collection history, identification of specific customer exposure and current economic trends. A provision for expected credit loss on trade and other receivables is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flow. Provisions for expected credit losses are charged to general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. Receivables for which an expected credit loss provision was recognized are written off against the corresponding provision when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected credit losses for trade receivables are based on the expected credit loss model. The Company applies the simplified approach to determine the provision for trade and other receivables by recognizing lifetime expected losses on initial recognition through both the analysis of historical defaults and a reassessment of counterparty credit risk in revenue contracts on an annual basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the date hereof is the carrying value of each class of receivables mentioned above. We do not hold any collateral as security.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to currency risk due to financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company’s primary exposure with respect to foreign currencies is from U.S. dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and borrowings in entities whose functional currency is other than U.S. dollars. The net carrying value of these U.S. denominated balances held in entities with Euro and Canadian dollars as their functional currency as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 presented in U.S. dollars is as follows:

2024
2023
EUR CAD EUR CAD
$ $ $ $
Cash and cash equivalents 1,382  16,655  520  30,358 
Trade and other receivables 1,286  1,877  783  1,692 
Trade and other payables (813) (2,587) (143) (2,028)
1,855  15,945  1,160  30,022 

A 1% strengthening of the above currencies against the US dollar would have a corresponding increase (decrease) in net income (loss) by the amounts shown below. The sensitivity associated with a 1% weakening of a particular currency would be equal and opposite. This assumes that each currency moves in isolation.

EUR CAD Total
$ $ $
2024
19  159  178 
2023
12  300  312 

We have not entered into arrangements to hedge our exposure to currency risk.

27





Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We review these estimates on an ongoing basis based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Areas requiring the most significant estimates and judgments which are deemed critical are outlined below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition requires judgment and the use of estimates, especially in evaluating the various non-standard terms and conditions in our contracts with customers as to their effect on reported revenue.

The Company derives its revenues from two main sources: subscription and professional services revenue, which includes professional and premium support services such as initial implementation, project management, training, and integration. Professional services do not include significant customization to, or development of, the software. Revenue is recognized by applying the five-step framework under IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, as described in Note 3 of our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company enters into significant revenue contracts with certain large enterprise customers that contain non-standard terms and conditions, pricing and promised services. Significant management judgement can be required to assess the impact of these items on the amount and timing of revenue recognition for these contracts including the determination of performance obligations, calculation of transaction price, allocation of transaction price across performance obligations, and timing of revenue recognition.

Outstanding Share Information

We are currently authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. As of the date hereof, 30,278,951 common shares, 793,514 stock options, 143,295 DSUs and 156,146 RSUs are issued and outstanding.

Foreign Currency Exchange (“FX”) Rates

Although our functional currency is the Canadian dollar, we have elected to report our financial results in U.S. dollars to improve the comparability of our financial results with our peers. Reporting our financial results in U.S. dollars also reduces the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the Company’s reported amounts, as our transactions denominated in U.S. dollars are significantly larger than Canadian dollars or Euros.

Our consolidated financial position and operating results have been translated to U.S. dollars applying FX rates outlined in the table below. FX rates are expressed as the amount of U.S. dollars required to purchase one Canadian dollar.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under applicable Canadian securities laws and by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) for the Company to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, that is required to be made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within the Company and disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. In addition, management determined that there were no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

There have been no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.
