Momentum Continues in Q2 as Tucows Reports Growth in Revenue and Profitability
TORONTO, Aug. 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), a global internet services leader, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. All figures are in U.S. dollars. "Q2 showed good progress in all three businesses," said Elliot Noss, President & CEO of Tucows. "Revenue grew 10% on the back of across-the-board topline gains, with Wavelo and Tucows Domains coming in ahead of plan. Gross profit rose 6%, and net of a one-off fiber-lease expense at Ting—each business continued the robust year-over-year margin expansion we saw in Q1. Most importantly, our ongoing work to improve capital and operational efficiency, including Ting's pivot to a capital-light model, helped drive a 37% jump in Adjusted EBITDA, highlighting our improved economics. This put our mid-year Adjusted EBITDA slightly ahead of progress towards our 2025 guidance." Financial Results Consolidated net revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased 10.1% to $98.5 million from $89.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, driven by strong year-over-year revenue gains from all three Tucows businesses. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 increased 6.2% to $22.1 million from $20.8 million from the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit was driven by strong year-over-year margin gains from Wavelo and Tucows Domains, but was offset by a decrease in gross margin from Ting, due to a one-time, non-cash lease adjustment resulting from a revision to lease payment recognition periods for certain contracts. Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 decreased to $15.6 million, or a loss of $1.41 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.6 million, or a loss of $1.70 per share, for the second quarter of 2024, reflecting improved operational efficiency and revenue momentum. Adjusted net income1 (loss) and Adjusted EPS1 in Q2 2025 are ($16.3 million) and ($1.47) per share compared to Q2 2024 Adjusted net income1 (loss) of ($17.8 million) and Adjusted EPS1 of ($1.63) per share. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter of 2025 grew 37% to $12.6 million from $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year improvement was fueled by revenue growth across all three segments: margin expansion from Wavelo and Tucows Domains, Ting's shift to a capital-light model, and rigorous cost discipline and AI-driven efficiencies across the Company. We ended the second quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents of $68.6 million. This compares with $55.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and $52.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2024.

Notes: 1. Tucows reports all financial information required in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Along with this information, to assist financial statement users in an assessment of our historical performance, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures in press releases and on investor conference calls and related events, as the Company believes that the non-GAAP information enhances investors' overall understanding of our financial performance, and should be read in addition to, rather than instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. The Company endeavors to compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income based on U.S. GAAP; Adjusted net income to GAAP net income; and adjusted basic earnings per share to GAAP basic earnings per share, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. Tucows strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA The Company believes that the provision of this supplemental non-GAAP measure allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using similar evaluation measures to those used by management. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance and prepare its budgets. Since Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before certain recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a liquidity measure. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA definition excludes depreciation, impairment and loss on disposition of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, income tax provision, interest expense (net), stock-based compensation, asset impairment, gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions, loss on debt extinguishment and costs that are not indicative of on-going performance (profitability), including acquisition and transition costs. Gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions removes the unrealized effect of the change in the mark-to-market values on outstanding unhedged foreign currency contracts, as well as the unrealized effect from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. dollars to U.S. dollars. The following table reconciles net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands of US dollars):3 Months ended June 30 6 Months ended June 30 2025 (unaudited) 2024 (unaudited) 2025(unaudited) 2024(unaudited) Net income (Loss) for the period** (15,637) (18,604) (30,770) (45,088) Less: Provision (recovery) for income taxes 2,265 1,220 4,431 2,994 Depreciation of property and equipment 10,539 10,173 20,999 20,160 Impairment of property and equipment 435 - 639 53 Loss (gain) on disposition of property and equipment (1,788) - (1,788) - Amortization of intangible assets 1,115 1,201 2,321 2,880 Interest expense, net 13,621 12,553 27,234 24,432 Stock-based compensation 1,386 1,702 2,891 3,575 Unrealized loss (gain) on foreign exchange revaluation of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities (72) 164 (441) 554 Acquisition and transition costs* 713 769 732 3,820Adjusted EBITDA 12,577 9,178 26,248 13,380 * Acquisition and transition costs represent transaction-related expenses and transitional expenses.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Common Share (Adjusted EPS) The Company believes that the provision of this supplemental non-GAAP measure allows investors to best evaluate our operating results and understand the operating trends of our core business without the effect of acquisition and transition costs, impairment expenses and losses on extinguishment of debt. Acquisition and transition costs represent transaction-related expenses and transitional expenses. Expenses include severance or transitional costs associated with department, operational or overall company restructuring efforts, including geographic alignments. Since adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial performance measures, the Company's calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's adjusted net income and adjusted EPS definitions exclude from the calculation of reported GAAP net income and GAAP EPS, the effect of the following items: impairment of property and expenses, acquisition and transition costs (including restructuring charges) and loss on debt extinguishment. The following table reconciles adjusted net income and adjusted EPS to GAAP net income (In thousands of US dollars, except Per Share data):3 Months ended June 30 6 Months ended June 30 2025 (unaudited) 2024(unaudited) 2025(unaudited) 2024(unaudited) Net Income (Loss) for the period** (15,637) (18,604) (30,770) (45,088) Less: Acquisition and transition costs* 713 769 732 3,820 Impairment of property and equipment 435 0 639 53 Loss (gain) on disposition of property and equipment (1,788) 0 (1,788) 0 Adjusted Net Income (Loss)¹ for the period (16,277) (17,835) (31,187) (41,215) Adjusted Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share¹ (1.47) (1.63) (2.82) (3.77) * Acquisition and transition costs represent transaction-related expenses and transitional expenses.
