Article content Conference Call Notification Article content The Company will hold a conference call to provide a business update on Monday, May 12, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. ET. A question-and-answer session will follow the business update. Article content Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures and Ratios Article content As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with IFRS with certain non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios that we believe these non-IFRS and other financial measures are useful to investors, lenders and others in assessing our performance and highlighting trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures for purposes of comparing to prior periods; preparing annual operating budgets; developing future projections and earnings growth prospects; measuring the profitability of ongoing operations; analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends, including the operating performance of the business after taking into consideration the acquisitions of dental practices; and determining components of employee compensation. As such, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective, including how we evaluate our financial performance and how we manage our capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures and industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. These non-IFRS and other financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar IFRS measures and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. For further information on non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios, including the most directly comparable IFRS measures, composition of the measures, a description of how we use these measures, an explanation of how these measures are useful to investors and applicable reconciliations, refer to the 'Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures', 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures', 'Non-IFRS Ratios' and 'Certain Supplementary Financial Measures' sections of management's discussion and analysis of operations for the three months and year ended March 31, 2025, which is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at Article content 'EBITDA' means, for the applicable period, net loss and comprehensive loss plus (a) net finance costs, (b) income tax expense (recovery), and (c) depreciation and amortization. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric, but we present EBITDA to assist investors in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA and Same Practice EBITDA Growth. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided below. Article content Adjusted EBITDA Article content 'Adjusted EBITDA' is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) net impact of unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on non-cash balances; (b) share-based compensation; (c) external acquisition expenses; (d) change in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss; (e) other corporate costs; (f) loss on disposal of dental practices; (g) loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets; (h) loss on settlement of other receivables; (i) impairment of right-of-use assets; (j) post-employment benefits; and (k) short-term benefits. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs, expenses that are not considered reflective of underlying business performance, and other expenses that are expected to be one-time or non-recurring. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss. Article content (a) Represents professional fees and other expenses paid to third parties that are incurred in connection with individual practice acquisitions and are not related to the underlying business operations of the Company. (b) Represents costs associated with the implementation of new corporate technology systems, the undertaking of vendor consolidations, termination benefits and restructuring activities, and professional fees related to the settlement of the management loan program and issuance of preferred shares, executive search arrangements, other non-recurring capital market initiatives and the implementation of the CDCP. Also included are costs associated with the purchase of profit rights held by Associate dentists in the cash flows of our dental practices and losses of dental practices that were disposed of during the period. (c) Represents the loss on disposal of dental practices that were disposed of during the reporting period. (d) Represents post-employment benefits provided to the Company's former President. Article content Adjusted Free Cash Flow Article content 'Adjusted free cash flow' is calculated by adding or subtracting from cash flow from operating activities: (a) external acquisition expenses; (b) other corporate costs; (c) post-employment benefits; (d) short-term benefits; (e) repayment of principal on leases; (f) maintenance capital expenditure; and (g) changes in working capital. We use Adjusted free cash flow to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business, and to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities, for which a reconciliation is provided below. Article content Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 $ $ (expressed in millions of dollars) Cash flow from operating activities 52.1 46.5 Adjustments: External acquisition expenses (a) 1.0 1.0 Other corporate costs (b) 1.4 1.0 Post-employment benefits (c) — 2.3 54.5 50.8 Deduct: Repayment of principal on leases (7.0 ) (6.5 ) Maintenance capital expenditure (d) (4.3 ) (4.7 ) Changes in working capital (e) 1.1 (4.4 ) Adjusted free cash flow 44.3 35.2 Article content (a) Represents professional fees and other expenses paid to third parties that are incurred in connection with individual practice acquisitions and are not related to the underlying business operations of the Company.

Also included are costs associated with the purchase of profit rights held by Associate dentists in the cash flows of our dental practices and losses of dental practices that were disposed of during the period. (c) Represents post-employment benefits provided to the Company's former President. (d) Represents capital expenditures for general maintenance and safety compliance of dental practices for the reporting period. (e) Represents the change in non-cash working capital items for the reporting period. Article content 'Adjusted free cash flow per Share' means Adjusted free cash flow divided by the total number of Shares on a fully diluted basis. Adjusted free cash flow per Share is utilized to determine components of employee compensation. Article content 'Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow' in respect of a period means Adjusted free cash flow less cash income tax (recovery) expense. We use Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business, and to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities. Article content 'Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow per Share' means Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow, divided by the total number of Shares on a fully diluted basis. Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow per Share is utilized to determine components of employee compensation. Article content 'Adjusted net income' is calculated by adding to Net loss and comprehensive loss certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) amortization of intangible assets; (b) share-based compensation; (c) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (d) external acquisition expenses; (e) other corporate costs; (f) loss on disposal of dental practices; (g) change in fair value of preferred shares; (h) loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets; (i) loss on settlement of other receivables; (j) impairment of right-of-use assets; (k) loss on modification of borrowings; (l) post-employment benefits; (m) short-term benefits; (n) change in fair value of other financial liability; and (o) the tax impact of the above. We use Adjusted net income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted net income is Net loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided below. Article content Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 $ $ (expressed in millions of dollars) Net loss and comprehensive loss (10.2 ) (11.7 ) Adjustments: Amortization of intangible assets 29.2 26.9 Share-based compensation 1.5 3.5 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (a) 0.1 3.3 Change in fair value of other financial liability (b) 0.1 — Change in fair value of preferred shares (c) (0.3 ) (0.2 ) External acquisition expenses (d) 1.0 1.0 Other corporate costs (e) 1.4 1.0 Loss on disposal of dental practices (f) 0.9 — Loss on modification of borrowings (g) — 2.3 Post-employment benefits (h) — 2.3 23.7 28.4 Tax impact of the above (3.0 ) (3.7 ) Adjusted net income 20.7 24.7 Article content (a) On acquisition, and at each subsequent reporting date, obligations under earn-out arrangements are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (b) The Company has several De novo practices whereby the Company has issued certain put and call options over the Associate Dentists' profit rights, which have been classified as a financial liability at FVTPL. At each reporting date, changes in fair value are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (c) At each reporting date, the Company's investment in the Management Preferred Shares, which are classified as a financial asset at FVTPL, are revalued with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (d) Represents professional fees and other expenses paid to third parties that are incurred in connection with individual practice acquisitions and are not related to the underlying business operations of the Company. (e) Represents costs associated with the implementation of new corporate technology systems, the undertaking of vendor consolidations, termination benefits and restructuring activities, and professional fees related to the settlement of the management loan program and issuance of preferred shares, executive search arrangements, other non-recurring capital market initiatives and the implementation of the CDCP. Also included are costs associated with the purchase of profit rights held by Associate dentists in the cash flows of our dental practices and losses of dental practices that were disposed of during the period. (f) Represents the loss on disposal of dental practices that were disposed of during the reporting period. (g) Represents the loss on modification of the Company's outstanding credit facilities upon entering into an amended and restated credit agreement. (h) Represents post-employment benefits provided to the Company's former President. Article content PF Adjusted EBITDA Article content 'PF Adjusted EBITDA' in respect of a period means Adjusted EBITDA for that period plus the Company's estimate of the additional Adjusted EBITDA that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period, calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the reconciliation table in 'Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures'. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance. We also use PF Adjusted EBITDA to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss. Article content (a) Represents the additional Adjusted EBITDA that we estimate would have been recorded if the Company's dental practice acquisitions had occurred on the first day of the applicable reporting period. These estimates are based on the amount of Practice-Level EBITDA budgeted by us to be earned by the relevant practices at the time of their acquisition by us. There can be no assurance that if we had acquired these practices on the first day of the applicable reporting period, they would have actually generated such budgeted Practice-Level EBITDA, nor is this estimate indicative of future results. Article content 'PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent' in respect of a period means PF Adjusted EBITDA less interest and principal repayments on leases and lease interest and principal repayments on acquisitions. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent is Net loss and comprehensive loss. Article content PF Revenue Article content 'PF Revenue' in respect of a period means revenue for that period plus the Company's estimate of the additional revenue that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period. Given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, management believes PF Revenue is more reflective of our operating performance. We use PF Revenue to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Revenue is revenue. Article content 'Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio' means non-current borrowings divided by PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent. We use Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio to assess our borrowing capacity. Article content Same Practice Revenue Growth Article content 'Same Practice Revenue Growth' in respect of a period means the percentage change in revenue derived from Established Practices in that period as compared to revenue from the same dental practices in the corresponding period in the immediately prior year. Article content This release includes forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, including the Securities Act (Ontario). Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements about the Company's objectives, strategies to achieve those objectives, our financial outlook, and the Company's beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates, or intentions.

Our management also uses non-IFRS measures for purposes of comparing to prior periods; preparing annual operating budgets; developing future projections and earnings growth prospects; measuring the profitability of ongoing operations; analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends, including the operating performance of the business after taking into consideration the acquisitions of dental practices; and determining components of employee compensation. As such, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective, including how we evaluate our financial performance and how we manage our capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures and industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. These non-IFRS and other financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar IFRS measures and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. For further information on non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios, including the most directly comparable IFRS measures, composition of the measures, a description of how we use these measures, an explanation of how these measures are useful to investors and applicable reconciliations, refer to the 'Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures', 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures', 'Non-IFRS Ratios' and 'Certain Supplementary Financial Measures' sections of management's discussion and analysis of operations for the three months and year ended March 31, 2025, which is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at EBITDA 'EBITDA' means, for the applicable period, net loss and comprehensive loss plus (a) net finance costs, (b) income tax expense (recovery), and (c) depreciation and amortization. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric, but we present EBITDA to assist investors in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA and Same Practice EBITDA Growth. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided below. Adjusted EBITDA 'Adjusted EBITDA' is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) net impact of unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on non-cash balances; (b) share-based compensation; (c) external acquisition expenses; (d) change in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss; (e) other corporate costs; (f) loss on disposal of dental practices; (g) loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets; (h) loss on settlement of other receivables; (i) impairment of right-of-use assets; (j) post-employment benefits; and (k) short-term benefits. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs, expenses that are not considered reflective of underlying business performance, and other expenses that are expected to be one-time or non-recurring. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss. Adjusted EBITDA Margin 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin' means Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We use Adjusted EBITDA Margin to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. (a) Represents professional fees and other expenses paid to third parties that are incurred in connection with individual practice acquisitions and are not related to the underlying business operations of the Company. (b) Represents costs associated with the implementation of new corporate technology systems, the undertaking of vendor consolidations, termination benefits and restructuring activities, and professional fees related to the settlement of the management loan program and issuance of preferred shares, executive search arrangements, other non-recurring capital market initiatives and the implementation of the CDCP. Also included are costs associated with the purchase of profit rights held by Associate dentists in the cash flows of our dental practices and losses of dental practices that were disposed of during the period. (c) Represents the loss on disposal of dental practices that were disposed of during the reporting period. (d) Represents post-employment benefits provided to the Company's former President. Expand Adjusted Free Cash Flow 'Adjusted free cash flow' is calculated by adding or subtracting from cash flow from operating activities: (a) external acquisition expenses; (b) other corporate costs; (c) post-employment benefits; (d) short-term benefits; (e) repayment of principal on leases; (f) maintenance capital expenditure; and (g) changes in working capital. We use Adjusted free cash flow to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business, and to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities, for which a reconciliation is provided below. (a) Represents professional fees and other expenses paid to third parties that are incurred in connection with individual practice acquisitions and are not related to the underlying business operations of the Company. (b) Represents costs associated with the implementation of new corporate technology systems, the undertaking of vendor consolidations, termination benefits and restructuring activities, and professional fees related to the settlement of the management loan program and issuance of preferred shares, executive search arrangements, other non-recurring capital market initiatives and the implementation of the CDCP. Also included are costs associated with the purchase of profit rights held by Associate dentists in the cash flows of our dental practices and losses of dental practices that were disposed of during the period. (c) Represents post-employment benefits provided to the Company's former President. (d) Represents capital expenditures for general maintenance and safety compliance of dental practices for the reporting period. (e) Represents the change in non-cash working capital items for the reporting period. Expand Adjusted free cash flow per Share 'Adjusted free cash flow per Share' means Adjusted free cash flow divided by the total number of Shares on a fully diluted basis. Adjusted free cash flow per Share is utilized to determine components of employee compensation. Pre-tax Adjusted Free Cash Flow 'Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow' in respect of a period means Adjusted free cash flow less cash income tax (recovery) expense. We use Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business, and to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities. Pre-tax Adjusted Free Cash Flow per Share 'Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow per Share' means Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow, divided by the total number of Shares on a fully diluted basis. Pre-tax Adjusted free cash flow per Share is utilized to determine components of employee compensation. Adjusted Net Income 'Adjusted net income' is calculated by adding to Net loss and comprehensive loss certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) amortization of intangible assets; (b) share-based compensation; (c) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (d) external acquisition expenses; (e) other corporate costs; (f) loss on disposal of dental practices; (g) change in fair value of preferred shares; (h) loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets; (i) loss on settlement of other receivables; (j) impairment of right-of-use assets; (k) loss on modification of borrowings; (l) post-employment benefits; (m) short-term benefits; (n) change in fair value of other financial liability; and (o) the tax impact of the above. We use Adjusted net income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted net income is Net loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided below. (a) On acquisition, and at each subsequent reporting date, obligations under earn-out arrangements are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (b) The Company has several De novo practices whereby the Company has issued certain put and call options over the Associate Dentists' profit rights, which have been classified as a financial liability at FVTPL. At each reporting date, changes in fair value are recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (c) At each reporting date, the Company's investment in the Management Preferred Shares, which are classified as a financial asset at FVTPL, are revalued with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (d) Represents professional fees and other expenses paid to third parties that are incurred in connection with individual practice acquisitions and are not related to the underlying business operations of the Company. (e) Represents costs associated with the implementation of new corporate technology systems, the undertaking of vendor consolidations, termination benefits and restructuring activities, and professional fees related to the settlement of the management loan program and issuance of preferred shares, executive search arrangements, other non-recurring capital market initiatives and the implementation of the CDCP. Also included are costs associated with the purchase of profit rights held by Associate dentists in the cash flows of our dental practices and losses of dental practices that were disposed of during the period. (f) Represents the loss on disposal of dental practices that were disposed of during the reporting period. (g) Represents the loss on modification of the Company's outstanding credit facilities upon entering into an amended and restated credit agreement. (h) Represents post-employment benefits provided to the Company's former President. Expand PF Adjusted EBITDA 'PF Adjusted EBITDA' in respect of a period means Adjusted EBITDA for that period plus the Company's estimate of the additional Adjusted EBITDA that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period, calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the reconciliation table in 'Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures'. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance. We also use PF Adjusted EBITDA to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Adjusted EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss. (a) Represents the additional Adjusted EBITDA that we estimate would have been recorded if the Company's dental practice acquisitions had occurred on the first day of the applicable reporting period. These estimates are based on the amount of Practice-Level EBITDA budgeted by us to be earned by the relevant practices at the time of their acquisition by us. There can be no assurance that if we had acquired these practices on the first day of the applicable reporting period, they would have actually generated such budgeted Practice-Level EBITDA, nor is this estimate indicative of future results. Expand PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent 'PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent' in respect of a period means PF Adjusted EBITDA less interest and principal repayments on leases and lease interest and principal repayments on acquisitions. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent is Net loss and comprehensive loss. PF Revenue 'PF Revenue' in respect of a period means revenue for that period plus the Company's estimate of the additional revenue that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period. Given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, management believes PF Revenue is more reflective of our operating performance. We use PF Revenue to determine components of employee compensation. The most comparable IFRS measure to PF Revenue is revenue. Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio 'Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio' means non-current borrowings divided by PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent. We use Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio to assess our borrowing capacity. Same Practice Revenue Growth 'Same Practice Revenue Growth' in respect of a period means the percentage change in revenue derived from Established Practices in that period as compared to revenue from the same dental practices in the corresponding period in the immediately prior year.
