ZTEST Electronics Inc. Announces Fiscal Q3 2025 Results
NORTH YORK, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 30, 2025 / ZTEST Electronics Inc. ("ZTEST" or the "Company") (CSE:ZTE)(OTC PINK:ZTSTF) announces Q3 2025 revenues of $2,105,297, a slight increase over the immediate proceeding quarter, but a decline from the record $2,625,282 reported for Q3 2024. Revenues for the nine months ended March 2025 were $6,205,665 as compared to $6,964,685 in the prior year.
While managing through headwinds mentioned in previous quarterly commentary, the Company takes some solace in the fact that revenues for the nine-month period remain almost 59% ahead of March 2023, that gross margin percentages have been maintained, that liquidity has been further enhanced, and that cash flows from operations remain strong.
The Company's management and Board of Directors is continually evaluating capital allocation strategies including M&A opportunities. While no such strategic transaction is imminent, management also recognized that an opportunity exists to take advantage of what it perceives to be an under-valuation of its own securities. An NCIB commenced on April 1, 2025, and to date the Company has repurchased 296,500 common shares.
Steve Smith, CEO commented, "Our ability to adapt to the shifting environment is reflected in our consistent operating margin and compelling cash generation. There are subtle indications that demand may soon start to increase, however we remain diligent, due to the uncertainties spawned by new and possible international tariffs. Ultimately, we continue to be centered on operational execution and driving shareholder value."

NTG Clarity Achieves Record Topline Performance in Q1 2025
Raises Full Year Revenue Guidance to Reflect Q1 Performance Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2025) - NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (TSXV: NCI) (OTC Pink: NYWKF); NTG Clarity ("NTG" or the "Company") today reports its first quarter results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (all figures in Canadian Dollars). Q1 2025 HighlightsAll comparisons below are to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted Revenue grew 68% year-over-year to $19.7 million, driven by strong growth of offshore services, which grew 268% and the accelerating growth of NTGapps, which grew 151%. Gross Profit rose 51% year-over-year to $6.7 million, representing 34% of revenue, compared to $4.5 million and 38% in the prior year. Gross margin saw temporary pressure due to upfront travel and relocation costs associated with new client engagements—costs that are expected to normalize in future periods. Net Income was $2.1 million, or 11% of revenue, compared to $2.4 million or 20% in the prior year. The year-over-year decline reflects proactive investment in long-term growth initiatives, including expansion of our sales and account management teams—as well as the initiation of income tax provisions amounting to $1.2 million for the quarter. Net Income Before Income Taxes grew by 56% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA grew 45% to $2.9 million, or 15% of revenue, compared to $2.0 million or 17% of revenue in the prior year. Operating Cash Flow of $397 thousand. Free Cash Flow used of $17 thousand. "We've started 2025 by continuing our strong growth trajectory, fueled by the increasing demand for our offshore services and the momentum in our higher-margin software business, NTGapps," said Adam Zaghloul, Vice President of Strategy & Planning at NTG Clarity. "We're making strategic investments in sales, marketing, and operations today to support this growth and sustain our track record of top-line performance." "We are executing on our 2025 strategic priorities by leveraging the cost advantages and high-quality offerings of our offshore platform to deepen relationships with customers. At the same time, customer trials of NTGapps are starting to convert into full contracts. We also secured new clients this quarter through our referral network and look forward to demonstrating why NTG should play a larger role in supporting their digital transformation strategies." Financial Outlook for 2025 The strong start to 2025 gives us confidence to increase our full year revenue guidance to $78 million. The performance this quarter is also consistent with our Adjusted EBITDA margin range which provides us greater flexibility in hiring, onboarding, and training the talent needed to meet growing demand as well as expanding our sales team to continue driving outsized growth. While our current Adjusted EBITDA is tracking below the lower end of the target range, we anticipate margin improvement over the course of the year. This will be driven by near-term growth investments beginning to scale more efficiently relative to revenue. Revenue: Expected to be approximately $78 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Forecasted in the range of 16% - 20% In 2025 our strategic priorities are: Expand and solidify our position as an integral part of clients' long-term digital strategy, leveraging our superior cost structure, quality offerings, and trusted relationships built over multiple years of service. Win new customers through the expanding network effect of recommendations from current and past clients. Increase adoption and traction of NTGapps, positioning them as essential tools within our clients' digital ecosystems. Conference Call Details On Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET, management will host a conference call webcast to discuss the Company's financial and operating results. What: NTG Clarity Q1 2025 Earnings CallWhen: Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM ETWhere: Live webcast can be accessed from the Events page of NTG's website: Management will be hosting a Q&A at the end of the call; however, to streamline the earnings conference call, we ask any questions to be emailed along with the asker's name and company, if applicable, by the end of the day Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to: Adam Zaghloul, Vice President, Strategy & PlanningEmail: adam@ Income Statement Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 REVENUE $ 19,699,129 $ 11,755,520 COST OF SALES12,966,584 7,302,609 GROSS PROFIT $ 6,732,545 $ 4,452,911 Operating Expenses3,392,598 2,284,411 Other Expenses161,835 136,739 Exchange loss (gain) on translation(88,718 ) (346,105 ) Provision for income taxes1,172,168 0 Comprehensive Income $ 2,094,661 $ 2,377,866 per share (basic) $ 0.05 $ 0.06 per share (fully diluted) $ 0.04 $ 0.06 Balance Sheet Highlights March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Total Assets $ 30,859,346 $ 28,292,859 Total Liabilities $ 15,981,000 $ 15,691,675 Shareholder's Equity $ 14,878,345 $ 12,601,184 Non-GAAP Financial Measures NTG references Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS (non-GAAP) measure and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is a non-GAAP ratio. Adjusted EBITDA means adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is equal to net income (loss) before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to EBITDA before other discretionary expenses and expenses outside of the control of NTG. In NTG's case these are other income, share-based payments, and expenses related to foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized measures under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized, or how the results are taxed and consolidated in various jurisdictions and currencies as well as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. NTG also references Free Cash Flow, which is a non-IFRS (non-GAAP) measure. Free Cash Flow means cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. In NTG's case, Free Cash Flow is equal to net cash from operating activities as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows, reduced by the purchase of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net cash from operating activities, Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental measure as it provides insight into the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities after funding required capital expenditures, and it reflects the Company's ability to pursue strategic growth, repay debt, or return capital to shareholders. Readers should be cautioned, however, that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. Neither should Free Cash Flow be construed as an alternative to net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations. The non-IFRS measures referenced in this release reconcile to the IFRS measures reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as follows, unless reconciled elsewhere:For the three months ended Adjusted EBITDA March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Net Income (Margin) $ 2,094,661 $ 2,377,866 (11% ) (20% ) Add back: (Gain) loss on foreign exchange (594,623 ) (312,992 ) Depreciation 182,231 50,659 Amortization $ 132,183 132,183 Interest, net 60,095 74,374 Taxes 1,185,877 55,332 Other income (94,200 ) (66,001 ) Share-based payment 0 22,375 Loss on joint venture 0 0 Loss on disposal of assets 0 0 Exchange gain arising on translation of foreign operations [88,718 ] [346,105 ] Adjusted EBITDA (Margin) $ 2,877,506 $ 1,987,691 (15% ) (17% ) For the three months ended Free Cash Flow March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 TOTAL CASH IN-FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES $ 396,770 $ 798,118 Less: Purchase of property, plant and equipment 414,075 234,741 Free Cash Flow $ (17,305 ) $ 563,377 About NTG Clarity Networks Clarity Networks' vision is to be a global leader in digital transformation solutions.
