Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Results

Third Quarter Results
(three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with three months ended September 30, 2025)

• Operating revenue of $22.8 million increased by $1.7 million or 8.1% compared to 2025 mainly due to pricing and volume increases in Canlan's adult and youth hockey leagues, third-party ice rentals, instructional skating programs, tournaments, and food and beverage operations. In addition, sponsorship and advertising revenue increased from added facility naming rights agreements that were entered into at the beginning of 2026;

• Total operating expenses of $19.0 million rose by a net $0.1 million or 0.6% over the prior year. Higher labour and customer service expenses to support increased business activity were offset by lower repair and maintenance (R&M) costs. The decline in R&M mainly reflected the progressive completion of roof refurbishment projects undertaken over the past seven years;

• Total G&A expenses of $2.6 million remained consistent with prior year. After G&A, operating earnings were $1.2 million compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million in 2025;

• Total depreciation expense of $2.1 million increased by $0.1 million from the prior year and net finance expense was $0.5 million, down from $0.7 million in 2025; and

• After recording provision for income tax recovery of $0.3 million (2025 – $0.6 million), net loss was $1.0 million or $0.08 per share compared to net loss of $2.5 million or $0.19 per share in 2025.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Results
(Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2025)

• Operating revenue rose $4.5 million or 6.2% to $77.1 million compared to 2025, mainly driven by pricing, higher adult and youth hockey league and tournament registrations, increased skating program participation, and greater third-party ice rentals. This volume growth boosted restaurant and concession traffic, increasing food and beverage revenue by $0.7 million or 6.5%. New facility sponsorship activity also contributed to revenue growth;

• Total operating expenses of $57.3 million increased by $2.5 million or 4.5% over the prior year mainly due to incremental labour and other variable costs to service increased business activity levels;

• G&A expenses rose $0.2 million or 2.5% over the prior year to $7.9 million, mainly reflecting regular annual wage increases. After G&A expenses, operating earnings of $11.9 million increased by $1.8 million or 18.2% compared to 2025; and

• After recording depreciation expense of $6.1 million, net finance costs of $1.7 million, and income tax expense of $0.9 million, net earnings were $3.2 million or $0.24 per share compared to $1.6 million or $0.12 per share in the prior year.

"Our third-quarter results reflect the strength of our core business and the continued demand for the recreational experiences we deliver across our markets," said Joey St-Aubin, President and CEO of Canlan Sports. "Strong participation in our youth and adult hockey leagues, tournaments, camps and instructional programs contributed to 8% revenue growth, while disciplined cost management and operating efficiencies drove a meaningful improvement in profitability. What is particularly encouraging is the momentum we are carrying into the final quarter of the year, with strong registrations across our core programs and continued investment in our facilities and customer experience. The recently completed building refresh and parking lot improvements at Canlan Sports Winnipeg have been particularly well received by customers. As we look ahead to 2027, our focus remains on maximizing the potential of our existing assets, introducing new experiences that attract and engage customers, and executing on the strategic growth opportunities that will position Canlan Sports for long-term success."

"The recent increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.03 to $0.04 per share reflects the Board's confidence in the Company's financial position and our commitment to shareholder returns," added Ivan Wu, Canlan Sports's CFO. "In addition, we have accepted terms to renew our long-term debt package that was set to mature starting September 2027.
