Reported revenue in Q2 2025 was $50.0 million, a decrease of $1.0 million (2%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 ("Q2 2024"). Q2 2024 included revenue from a large enterprise licensing deal in the Creative Platform of approximately $4.9 million.

Total debt outstanding on June 30, 2025 was $116.9 million, compared to $116.9 million on December 31, 2024. Debt repayments were offset by new credit facilities drawn to finance the acquisition of Serato.

Cash flow from operations in Q2 2025 was $6.2 million, compared to negative $0.8 million in Q2 2024. This reflects the Company's continued focus on driving sustainable cash flow in the existing portfolio as well as the positive contributions from the Serato acquisition. Free Cash Flow1 in Q2 2025 was $6.0 million, compared to negative $3.7 million in Q2 2024. Free Cash Flow per Share also improved to $0.03 in Q2 2025, compared to negative $0.02 per share in Q2 2024.

These statements reflect current expectations of management regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date of this press release. In addition, forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. By their nature, forward-looking statements require management to make various assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is a significant risk that such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections will not prove to be accurate, that management's assumptions may not be accurate and that actual results, performance or achievements may differ significantly from such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this press release as a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, outlooks, expectations, goals, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: reliance on the Shopify platform; the limited operating history of certain of the Company's subsidiaries; the integration of Serato with Tiny; reliance on management and key employees; conflicts of interest in relation to the Company and its subsidiaries' officers, directors, and consultants; the ability to integrate previous acquisitions or future acquisitions; limitations on claims against a seller of an acquired company; additional financing requirements and earn out obligations; reliance on unaudited financial information for Tiny Fund I LP; risks related to dilution; global financial conditions; management of growth; risks associated with the Company's strategy of growth through acquisitions; tax risks; reputational risks; payment processing risks; currency fluctuations; competitive markets; uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy; unsustainability of the Company's rapid growth and inability to attract new customers, retain revenue from existing merchants, and increase sales to both new and existing customers; adverse effects on the Company's revenue growth and profitability due to the inability to attract new customers or sell additional products to existing customers; future results of operations being harmed due to declines in recurring revenue or contracts not being renewed; cyber security and privacy breaches; changes in client demand; challenges posed by developments in artificial intelligence; challenges to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property; infringement of intellectual property; regulatory risks; risks related to legal claims; ineffective operations through mobile devices, which are increasingly being used to conduct commerce; risks related to information technology; and risks associated with internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible factors, as other factors could adversely affect our results. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company and its securities, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this press release is current as of the date of this press release and the Company does not intend, and disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new information or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Non-IFRS Measures This press release contains certain non-International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS") financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These financial measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed under IFRS and our computation may differ from similarly-named computations as reported by other entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of performance. The Company believes these measures may be useful supplemental information to assist investors in assessing our operational performance and our ability to generate cash through operations. The non-IFRS measures also provide investors with insight into our decision making as we use these non-IFRS measures to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and prepare annual budgets and forecasts. Because non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from similarly-named computations as reported by other entities, securities regulations require that non-IFRS measures be clearly defined and qualified, reconciled with their nearest IFRS measure and given no more prominence than the closest IFRS measure. Non-IFRS measures are not audited. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information presented in this press release is prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These non-IFRS measures have important limitations as analytical tools and investors are cautioned not to consider them in isolation or place undue reliance on ratios or percentages calculated using these non-IFRS measures.

E3 Lithium Provides Clearwater Project Demonstration Facility Update
CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 12, 2025-- E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), 'E3', 'E3 Lithium' or the 'Company,' a leader in Canadian lithium, is progressing towards final inspection and commissioning of Phase 1 of the Demonstration Facility ('Phase 1'). This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Demonstration Equipment Being Assembled on Site The goal of Phase 1 is to fully operationalize the DLE system and associated polishing and purification units to produce a high-quality lithium chloride, which will support the production of battery-grade lithium carbonate. All major equipment for Phase 1 has arrived on site. The DLE system and associated polishing and purification units, previously announced on July 10, 2025, are now fully assembled. Crews continue to assemble and incorporate supporting infrastructure, with the final mechanical and electrical checks underway. The Company expects to complete the assembly of the remaining equipment within the next week, with final mechanical and electrical checks completed shortly thereafter. The system will then undergo final inspection and an extensive operational review to assess equipment performance and identify any damage that may have occurred during transportation to the site. Assuming no major issues are identified through the operational review, the Company is targeting to begin commissioning by the end of August. Commissioning will commence with the introduction of brine, which has been previously stored on site for this purpose, and will focus on ensuring operational efficiency of the DLE system. 'The E3 team has been working very hard to advance the construction of Phase 1 of our Demonstration Facility,' said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO. 'I am very excited to see E3 Lithium be in the position to complete the assembly of the equipment and commencing the commissioning within the coming weeks.' ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Chris Doornbos, President, CEO & Chair E3 Lithium Ltd. About E3 Lithium E3 Lithium is a development company with a total of 21.2 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) Measured and Indicated 1 as well as 0.3 Mt LCE Inferred mineral resources 2 in Alberta and 2.5 Mt LCE Inferred mineral resources 3 in Saskatchewan. The Clearwater Pre-Feasibility Study outlined a 1.13 Mt LCE proven and probable mineral reserve with a pre-tax NPV8% of USD 5.2 Billion with a 29.2% IRR and an after-tax NPV8% of USD 3.7 Billion with a 24.6% IRR 1.

Eng., Chief Development Officer and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and is responsible for the technical information contained on this news release. Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements This news release includes certain forward-looking statements as well as management's objectives, strategies, beliefs and intentions or forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are frequently identified by such words as 'believe', 'may', 'will', 'plan', 'expect', 'anticipate', 'estimate', 'intend', 'project', 'potential', 'possible' and similar words referring to future events and results. Forward-looking statements are based on the current opinions, expectations, estimates and assumptions of management in light of its experience, perception of historical trends, and results of the PFS, but such statements are not guarantees of future performance. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking information relating to: the expected timelines for the assembly, testing and commissioning of the demonstration equipment; production, pretreatment, purification, volume reduction and conversion process and features and the expected outcomes thereof; the Company's expectations regarding the production of lithium carbonate; plans and objectives of management for the Company's operations of the Demonstration Facility; and the inherent hazards associated with mineral exploration and mining operations. In preparing the forward-looking information in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, that any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms; the exchange rates for the U.S. and Canadian currencies will be consistent with the Company's expectations; that the current exploration, development, environmental and other objectives concerning the Demonstration Facility can be achieved and that its other corporate activities will proceed as expected; that general business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner and that all necessary governmental approvals for the planned activities on the Demonstration Facility will be obtained in a timely manner and on acceptable terms. All forward-looking information (including future-orientated financial information) is inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, fluctuating commodity prices, the effectiveness and feasibility of emerging lithium extraction technologies which have not yet been tested or proven on a commercial scale or on the Company's brine, risks related to the availability of financing on commercially reasonable terms and the expected use of proceeds; operations and contractual obligations; changes in estimated mineral reserves or mineral resources; future prices of lithium and other metals; availability of third party contractors; availability of equipment; failure of equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of weather and other natural phenomena and other risks associated with the mineral exploration industry; the Company's lack of operating revenues; currency fluctuations; risks related to dependence on key personnel; estimates used in financial statements proving to be incorrect; competitive risks and the availability of financing, as described in more detail in our recent securities filings available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ ( Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and we caution against placing undue reliance thereon.
