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.

AI Is Reshaping The Work Faster Than Companies Can Upskill
AI workforce preparation and upskilling within enterprises to increase adoption Work is no longer changing incrementally—it's evolving exponentially. The tectonic shifts being driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and multi-model transformation aren't projections for the distant future; they're the current reality unfolding in real time and we're all experiencing the impact at different speeds. According to a McKinsey Global Institute report, up to 45% of work activities could be automated by 2030. While this statistic might induce anxiety for the masses, it misses a nuanced truth: roles are not simply disappearing; they are also being redefined. As a former C-Suite exec in the Data, Analytics, Robotics, and AI Space, I've witnessed firsthand that the most impactful transformations aren't about replacing people with machines—they're about elevating human potential. AI isn't just about algorithms and automation; it's about adaptation, agility, and amplifying human potential. And while the pace of change is faster than what most people and enterprises can keep up with, the clear winners will be those that lead the future of work with AI, and prepare people to thrive alongside it. The transformation of AI isn't just technical; it's also organizational. If you take the use cases of predictive restocking algorithms, dynamic pricing tools, or warehouse robotics, behind the technology also comes the work that goes into preparing and upskilling the workers: In these cases, AI didn't reduce the workforce, it redefined their roles. In this juncture, licensing AI software or tools is not a strategy, it's a checkbox. Companies that are serious about the future of work know that AI implementation without workforce enablement is an empty investment. A 2024 IBM Institute for Business Value study supports this. It found that companies actively investing in AI training and upskilling see 15% higher productivity gains compared to those that don't. So what does real AI readiness look like? Outlined below are recommendations for forward-thinking companies, leaders, and individuals making the leap: Yes, the workplace is transforming at breakneck speed because of AI, and the future won't be built by those who use AI, but will be led by those who partner with it. As you reflect on your organization's AI journey, or your personal one, ask yourself not just what tech are we buying, but what transformation are we enabling? Because in the end, it's not about replacing jobs—it's about redesigning them. And those who master that redesign will lead the future of work.

For CEOs, AI tech literacy is no longer optional
Artificial intelligence has been the subject of unprecedented levels of investment and enthusiasm over the past three years, driven by a tide of hype that promises revolutionary transformation across every business function. Yet the gap between this technology's promise and the delivery of real business value remains stubbornly wide. A recent study by BCG found that while 98% of companies are exploring AI, only 26% have developed working products and a mere 4% have achieved significant returns on their investments. This striking implementation gap raises a critical question: Why do so many AI initiatives fail to deliver meaningful value? Spicy AI-generated TACO memes are taking over social media because 'Trump always chickens out' What is 'ghostworking'? Most employees say they regularly pretend to work Lego's first book nook is an addictively interactive diorama A big part of the answer lies in a fundamental disconnect at the leadership level: to put it bluntly, many senior executives just don't understand how AI works. One recent survey found that 94% of C-suite executives describe themselves as having an intermediate, advanced, or expert knowledge of AI, while 90% say they are confident in making decisions around the technology. Yet a large study of thousands of U.S. board-level executives reported in MIT Sloan Management Review in 2024 found that just 8% actually have 'substantial levels of conceptual knowledge regarding AI technologies.' The only way AI initiatives can deliver significant value is when they are aligned with the organization's broader enterprise architecture. When I introduced the terminology of 'strategic enterprise architecture' back in 2000 (e-Enterprise, Cambridge University Press), I wanted to emphasize the importance of aligning technical architecture with the broader structure of the business as a whole–its purpose, strategies, processes, and operating models. With AI, this alignment is more important than ever. But it relies on the ability of senior leaders to understand both parts of the enterprise equation. The current gap between confidence and competence creates a dangerous decision-making environment. Without foundational AI literacy, leaders simply can't make informed decisions about how any given AI implementation fits with strategic priorities and the processes and existing tech infrastructure of the business. Ultimately, they end up delegating critical strategic choices to technical teams that often lack the business context necessary for value-driven implementation. The result? Millions of dollars invested in AI initiatives that fail to deliver on their promises. In addition to project failure, a lack of AI literacy leads to strategic opportunity costs. When CEOs can't distinguish between truly transformative AI applications and incremental improvements, they risk either underinvesting in game-changing capabilities or overspending on fashionable but low-impact technologies. Becoming AI-literate doesn't mean that CEOs need to be able to build neural networks or understand the mathematical intricacies of deep learning algorithms. Rather, leaders need the kind of foundational practical knowledge that lets them align AI initiatives with core business operations and strategic direction. At minimum, CEOs should develop a working understanding of AI in three broad areas. CEOs should understand the differences between the four major types of AI, the business applications of each, and their current maturity level. Analytical/Predictive AI focuses on pattern recognition and forecasting. This technology has been maturing for decades and forms the backbone of data-driven decision making in domains from finance to manufacturing. Deterministic AI systems apply predefined rules and logic to automate processes and decision-making, creating efficiency but requiring careful governance. Generative AI—the current hype king—creates new content that resembles human work, offering unprecedented creative capabilities alongside significant ethical challenges. Agentic AI is the new kid on the block. It not only analyzes or produces outputs but takes bounded actions toward defined goals. Agentic AI offers the greatest opportunity and the largest risks for enterprise transformation, but is largely untested at scale. The infrastructure underpinning AI implementations shapes what is possible and practical for specific organizations. · Deployment Models determine where and how AI systems operate. On-premises deployments maximize control over data, systems, and compliance but require significant capital investment and specialized personnel. Cloud-based deployments offer scalability and access to cutting-edge hardware but increase exposure to data security and vendor lock-in risks. Hybrid models retain sensitive processes in-house while outsourcing other workloads. · Open and Closed Systems. Closed AI systems—proprietary systems created by commercial vendors—simplify deployment and provide enterprise-grade support but normally offer limited transparency and customization. Open (or open source) systems provide greater control and flexibility, particularly for specialized applications, but require more internal capacity and ongoing maintenance. · Computing Resource Needs vary dramatically based on how AI is deployed. Most organizations primarily use AI for inference (using the reasoning capabilities of trained models) rather than training their own models. This approach significantly reduces hardware requirements but limits customization and mission-specific capabilities. · Data Infrastructure is the foundation for successful AI implementations. This includes data pipelines for collecting and transforming information, storage systems for managing structured and unstructured data, processing frameworks for maintaining data quality, and governance mechanisms for ensuring compliance and security. Organizations with mature data infrastructure can implement AI more rapidly and effectively than those still struggling with data silos or quality issues. The contemporary AI stack comprises five interconnected layers that transform raw data into outputs designed to create value for the enterprise. · The Foundation: Data & Storage This foundation captures, cleans, and catalogs both structured and unstructured information. · The Engine: Compute & Acceleration High-density Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), AI-optimized chips, and elastic cloud clusters provide the parallel processing that deep-learning workloads require. Container orchestration tools abstract these resources, allowing cost-effective experimentation and deployment. · The Brain: Model & Algorithm This is where foundation models, domain-specific small language models, and classical machine-learning libraries coexist. Organizations must decide whether to consume models 'as-a-service,' fine-tune open-source checkpoints, or build custom networks—decisions that involve trade-offs between control, cost, and compliance. · The Connectors: Orchestration & Tooling Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt pipelines, automated evaluation harnesses, and agent frameworks sequence models into end-to-end capabilities. · User Access and Control: Applications & Governance This top layer exposes AI to users through APIs and low-code builders that embed intelligence in user-facing systems. For further foundational information on AI tech stacks, see IBM's introductory guide. How can busy executives develop the AI literacy they need to lead effectively? Here are some practical approaches to closing the knowledge gap. Establish a personal learning curriculum. Set aside time for structured learning about AI fundamentals through executive education programs, books, or online courses specifically designed for business leaders. Build a balanced advisory network. Surround yourself with advisors who bridge technical expertise and business acumen. This might include both internal experts and external consultants who can translate complex concepts into business terms without oversimplifying. Institute regular technology briefings. Create a structured process where technical teams provide regular updates on AI capabilities, limitations, and potential applications in your industry. The key is ensuring these briefings focus on business implications rather than technical specifications. Experience AI directly. Hands-on experience with AI tools provides an essential perspective. Work directly with your company's AI applications to develop an intuitive understanding of capabilities and limitations. Foster organization-wide literacy. Support AI education across all business functions, not just technical departments. When marketing, finance, operations, and other leaders share a common understanding of AI capabilities, cross-functional collaboration improves dramatically. True leadership in the age of AI begins with curiosity and the courage to CEOs become tech literate, they don't just adapt to the future—they help shape it.
