Investor Conference Call on
"In Q2 we managed through seemingly ever-changing tariffs, geopolitical shifts, and in some cases, changes in customer purchasing behaviors. To deliver such strong operating results in what has to be described as a difficult environment is a testament to the resiliency of our employees," said
"From a macro perspective, we see the markets coming out of a historically low spending cycle and improving in 2026. Moreover, we are in the process of launching multiple new products which we see supporting further growth and margin attainment in the coming year. In addition to organic growth, we have been spending time evaluating M&A opportunities as a means to drive further growth, but we will only consider a transaction if it is beneficial for shareholders.

SECOND QUARTER SUMMARY
- Revenue of
$22.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of$0.5 million or 1.9% compared to the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to sales volume increase in the Wireless Infrastructure business line. This also represents an increase of$3.6 million or 19.0% compared to the first quarter of 2025 with volume increases from the Embedded Antenna and Satcom business lines. - Gross profit of
$10.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of$1.2 million or 12.6% compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to the Wireless Infrastructure business line which generated stronger revenue and favourable product mix. This also represents an increase of$2.4 million or 30.0% compared to the first quarter of 2025. - Gross margin of 46.3% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 41.9% in the second quarter of 2024 and compared to 42.4% in the first quarter of 2025. Compared to the same prior year period, the higher gross margin in the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to improved product mix generated by stronger sales of multibeam, small cell and other innovative antennas from the Wireless Infrastructure business line.
- Adjusted EBITDA of
$3.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of$1.1 million or 50.9% compared to the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to the increase in gross profit as discussed above. This also represents an increase of$2.7 million or 404% compared to the first quarter of 2025. - Net income of
$1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of$0.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The net income in the second quarter of 2025 was mainly the net result of an operating income of$1.8 million offset by interest and other finance expenses. This also represents an increase of$3.0 million compared to a net loss of$2.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. On a per share basis, a net income of$0.01 per share in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $nil per share in the second quarter of 2024. - Net debt(3)
$12.9 million atJune 30, 2025 , a decrease of$1.3 million fromDecember 31, 2024 , primarily as a result of$2.9 million cash generated by operating activities in the first half of 2025. - Backlog(4) of
$22.9 million atJune 30, 2025 compared to$30.2 million atDecember 31, 2024 . The decrease in backlog was mainly due to a slowdown in new order intake in the Satcom and Embedded Antenna business lines during the second quarter of 2025. Backlog was$21.6 million atJuly 31, 2025 .

OUTLOOK
Corporate
The Company reported net income of
Wireless Infrastructure Business Line
Embedded Antenna Business Line
The Embedded Antenna business line experienced higher revenue in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025, but slightly lower than the second quarter of 2024 due largely to changes in customer demand as a result of market fluctuations and global economic uncertainty. Embedded Antenna still managed to improve gross margins and control operational costs resulting in improved Adjusted EBITDA compared to the second quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. We expect Embedded Antenna will perform at reasonable levels in the second half of 2025, with revenue in the second half lower than the first half and full-year revenue lower than 2024. While the backlog remains strong, order flow through due to potential customer delays and uncertainty surrounding the effect of tariffs may impact the business in the second half of 2025. The number of active bids for new projects remains at a strong level.
Satcom Business Line
The Satcom business line had an extremely strong second quarter of 2025, which included shipments of a large solid-state power amplifier program for a
In contrast, the number and dollar value of active bids is at record levels. While orders of our new Genesis and Summit III model amplifiers can be produced quickly, orders for several legacy products which have yet to be retired will take longer to produce. Overall, we anticipate Satcom will have lower revenue in 2025 compared to 2024. As a result, we expect to take further steps to better align Satcom's cost structure to reflect its production volume and order flow.
Satcom is generally not subject to US tariffs. See "Tariffs" below.
Tariffs
The Company continues to deal with uncertainty over the timing, volatility, level and duration of and changes in US tariffs. Nevertheless, we continue to take proactive steps to mitigate the effect of the tariffs across all our business lines.
Wireless Infrastructure's products are manufactured in our facility in
Embedded Antenna is currently not directly affected by US tariffs on
In the case of Satcom, most of its products are produced in
There can be no assurance (i) as to the timing, volatility, level and duration of and changes in US tariffs or the temporary or permanent nature of them or (ii) that our efforts to mitigate the effect of the tariffs will be sufficient or adequate to counteract (in whole or in part) the potential negative financial or other impacts the tariffs may have on our business, and those impacts may be material.

This press release includes forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (together, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact. Rather, forward-looking statements are disclosure regarding conditions, developments, events or financial performance that we expect or anticipate may or will occur in the future including, among other things, information or statements concerning our objectives and strategies to achieve those objectives, statements with respect to management's beliefs, estimates, intentions and plans, and statements concerning anticipated future circumstances, events, expectations, operations, performance or results. Forward-looking statements can be identified generally by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "should", "would", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "indicate", "intend", "likely", "may", "outlook", "plan", "potential", "project", "seek", "target", "trend" or "will" or the negative or other variations of these words or other comparable words or phrases and is intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.
The forward-looking statements in this press release include statements concerning the outlook for our business generally and each of our business lines in particular, including our expectation for future financial performance, the effect of the macroeconomic environment, higher interest rates, timing of and potential impacts from US tariffs and retaliatory tariffs from countries subject to US tariffs, and other disruptions to our business and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and estimates made by us in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, including projected growth in the sales of passive and active radio frequency and satellite communications products, and supporting services, and other factors we believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, but there can be no assurance that such assumptions and estimates will prove to be correct.
Many factors could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements or future events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including the risk factors discussed in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form, which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. All the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and other cautionary statements or factors in this press release.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Management believes that these measures provide useful information to analysts, investors and other interested parties regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operation as they provide additional key metrics of the Company's performance. While management believes that non-IFRS measures provide useful supplemental information, they are not intended to represent, and should not be considered as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in accordance with IFRS.
