OVERVIEW

Energy market dynamics continue to be characterized by volatility and muted commodity prices, with customer focus remaining on exercising tight capital discipline. This resulted in continued longer sales cycles and a slower pace in closing new opportunities. In the second quarter, we closed our third significant acquisition, SeisWare International Inc., a company that develops geoscience interpretation and field development software to support subsurface exploration and development projects, further strengthening and expanding our Seismic Solutions portfolio. 

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on November 10, 2025, we announced a multi-year simulation software licensing agreement with Shell representing the culmination of a long-term product development relationship. The agreement is for the Company's suite of simulation solutions, including CoFlowTM.

On November 11, 2025, the Company announced a Normal Course Issuer Bid for its common shares as the board of directors of the Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of the common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the business. Additionally, we continue to pursue disciplined acquisitions that expand our capabilities and enhance our ability to navigate market volatility. To support this strategy and to augment our available cash for accretive capital deployment, we closed a $100M credit facility on November 7, 2025.

In the second quarter, an organic decline in total revenue offset most of the growth contributed by acquisitions. The decline reflected lower perpetual software license sales, which are variable in nature, as well as expected reductions in professional services and previously disclosed reductions in recurring software revenue. Recurring revenue increased 13% as growth from acquisitions more than offset an organic decline driven tied to previously disclosed reductions in licensing for reservoir and production solutions. Despite overall growth, the decline in revenue from reservoir and production solutions had a more pronounced effect on Adjusted EBITDA, given its higher margin profile, and was partially offset by contributions from our acquisitions.  

The percentage decrease in Free Cash Flow was larger than the Adjusted EBITDA decrease due to stock-based compensation expenses and one-time capital expenditures. 

Revenue in the second half of the year is expected to be higher than in the first half, reflecting the timing of seasonal contract renewals and revenue recognition. Organic recurring revenue growth is expected to turn positive in the fourth quarter and remain positive on an annual basis in fiscal 2027.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in the second half of the year are anticipated to improve correspondingly however on a full year basis, Adjusted EBITDA (excluding future acquisitions) will be lower in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025 due to the decline in organic revenue and professional services. 

Q2 2026 Dividend

Computer Modelling Group's Board approved a cash dividend of $0.01 per Common Share. The dividend will be paid on December 15, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 5, 2025.

All dividends paid by Computer Modelling Group Ltd. to holders of Common Shares in the capital of the Company will be treated as eligible dividends within the meaning of such term in section 89(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), unless otherwise indicated.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation to Funds Flow from Operations

Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated as funds flow from operations less capital expenditures and repayment of lease liabilities. Free Cash Flow per share is calculated by dividing Free Cash Flow by the number of weighted average outstanding shares during the period. Management believes that this measure provides useful supplemental information about operating performance and liquidity, as it represents cash generated during the period, regardless of the timing of collection of receivables and payment of payables, which may reduce comparability between periods. Management uses free cash flow and free cash flow per share to help measure the capacity of the Company to pay dividends and invest in business growth opportunities.
