EDMONTON, AB , Feb. 9, 2026 /CNW/ - Dr. Phone Fix Canada Corporation (TSXV: DPF) ("Dr. Phone Fix" or the "Company"), one of Canada's fastest-growing consumer electronics repair and resale platforms, is pleased to provide a financial update for the year ended December 31, 2025. While the Company will provide audited results for the year ended December 31, 2025 when available, unaudited preliminary results indicate the following:

• Revenue for 2025 is expected to be approximately $12.1 million, compared to $10.2 million in 2024, representing year-over-year growth of over 19%.
• Gross profit for 2025 is expected to be approximately $6.0 million, compared to $5.4 million in 2024, with gross margins remaining in the high 40% range, reflecting continued pricing discipline and operational execution.
• Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 is expected to be approximately $0.6 million, compared to $187,082 in 2024, representing a material year-over-year improvement driven by operating leverage and improved store-level performance.

The above expectations are based on the Company's 35-store operating base during 2025. As previously disclosed in the Company's press release dated January 22, 2026, the Company exited 2025 with unaudited average annualized run-rate revenue per store of approximately $350,000, reflecting continued improvement in store-level productivity across the legacy network. As newly acquired and recently opened locations mature, management expects further operating leverage and margin expansion across the national platform.

"Our performance in 2025 was driven primarily by continued improvement across our legacy store base, supported by disciplined cost controls, pricing optimization, and a strong focus on execution at the store level," said Piyush Sawhney, Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Phone Fix. "During the year, we observed consistent customer demand across our existing store network, which allowed management to prioritize operational efficiency, and store-level performance.

"As we enter 2026, we are operating with a larger national footprint, improving unit economics, and increasing scale," continued Mr. Sawhney. "Our growth strategy remains balanced between organic expansion and disciplined acquisitions, supported by a robust pipeline of potential targets, which we expect to execute on throughout the year as we work toward our objective of reaching approximately 70 stores by the end of 2026. Importantly, the improvements achieved in 2025 reflect structural enhancements to our operating model rather than one-time initiatives, positioning the Company for continued margin expansion as scale increases."

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating operating performance by presenting the results of the Company on a basis which excludes the impact of certain non-operational items which enables the primary readers of the material to evaluate the results of the Company such that it was operating without certain non-cash and non-recurring items.
