Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results:^[1]

• Revenue of approximately $10.1 million, a ~34% increase over the same period last year.

• Second-highest quarterly revenue in the company's history following last quarter.

• Operating expenses decreased approximately $1.5 million to $3.1 million in Q2 FY2026, down from $4.6 million in the same quarter last year.

• Over $1.1 million in adjusted EBITDA in Q2 FY2026, demonstrating solid profitability amid ongoing top-line growth and cost discipline.

  • Incurred approximately $130,000 in one-time legal expenses during the quarter related to the ongoing dispute attributable to prior management.

• The results over the last six months have significantly changed the trajectory of the company compared to the comparable prior year period:

  • Revenue totaled $22.2 million, an increase of nearly $4.7 million.

  • Gross profit was $8.1 million, an increase of over $4.2 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $3.8 million, representing an improvement of almost $6.3 million.

  • Net income was positive at $0.3 million, an increase of approximately $6.4 million.

Chief Executive Officer Catherine Flax commented, "The Company's performance over the past six months has been exceptional. We have grown revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to the highest levels in our history while significantly reducing debt to more manageable levels. These results are not coincidental; they are the direct outcome of strong alignment between the Board and Management, coupled with disciplined execution of a clear strategic plan. While this progress is clearly reflected in our financial results, we have also taken meaningful steps to strengthen the foundation of the business and position the Company for sustained, long-term growth."

Recent Highlights:

• The Company completed debt settlement agreements with two creditors, eliminating approximately CAD $0.41 million of liabilities on the books and forgiving CAD $0.10 million of outstanding debt.

• Zefiro successfully completed a $1.5 million infrastructure project near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and has begun a $5 million initiative in Louisiana, marking its expansion into a new state with significant growth potential.

• The Company worked with three creditors on a $2.48 million promissory note, exercising a total of 10,790,000 common equity warrants issued in connection with the note in May 2025. Seventy-five percent of the exercise proceeds was applied to pay down the outstanding secured loan, while the remaining 25% was equitized, providing the Company with $0.45 million in cash. This free cash flow was then used to pay down additional debt due on March 1, 2026, further strengthening Zefiro's balance sheet and financial position.

Looking Ahead:

• The third quarter of the 2026 fiscal year is projected to be another strong quarter, marking the third consecutive quarter of performance improvement following the leadership change in early June. The Company has several projects in the pipeline and continues to evaluate its options for both organic and inorganic growth to expand and diversify the business. With a disciplined approach to capital allocation and strategic investments, Zefiro is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and strengthen its market presence.

• The primary focus going into the third quarter remains paying down debt and strengthening the balance sheet. The Company has made significant progress in this area and is well-positioned to manage the $0.5 million debt due on March 1, 2026, originally incurred under the prior management team. Ongoing discussions are underway, and the Company plans to pay the note in full at maturity, demonstrating disciplined financial management and a commitment to maintaining a strong balance sheet.
