Deloitte Tohmatsu to offer services for Japan lease accounting
Deloitte Tohmatsu Group has announced it will provide comprehensive services to support finance and accounting departments in adapting to new lease accounting standards set to take effect in Japan from April 2027. The services, centred at the Deloitte Tohmatsu Corporate as a Service Operate Center MAEBASHI, will combine accounting expertise with practical application and operational support to ensure compliance with the new regulations. The forthcoming Japanese lease accounting standards align with International Financial Reporting Standards, requiring lessee operating leases—previously often expensed—to be recognised as assets in most cases. This shift necessitates significant changes for companies, including managing lease contracts, collecting contract data, addressing accounting challenges, and updating business processes and internal controls, the company said. Firms will also need to review IT systems, assess impacts on business plans and budgets, adjust key performance indicators, and secure adequate human resources. To address these requirements, Deloitte Tohmatsu's service leverages AI-OCR technology to convert lease contracts into text data. Generative AI then extracts critical details, such as lease fees and contract periods, that impact accounting treatment. The extracted data is automatically linked to a lease calculation application, which computes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and generates journal entries for accounting purposes. The company stated that this approach reduces the workload associated with manually processing large volumes of contracts, entering data into lease systems, and calculating accounting figures. The Deloitte Tohmatsu Corporate as a Service Operate Center MAEBASHI serves as a hub for addressing corporate department challenges. It draws on the group's expertise in accounting, risk management, and digital tools, as well as the experience of certified public accountants, tax accountants, and operational managers from shared service departments. The centre aims to provide integrated support for resolving issues, stabilising corporate functions, and transforming operations for Japanese companies nationwide.

MediPharm Labs Responds to Fabricated Allegations from Dissident Shareholder
TORONTO, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQB: MEDIF) (FSE:MLZ) ('MediPharm' or the 'Company'), a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, today confirmed that the Company is aware of the news release issued by Apollo Technology Capital Corporation ('Apollo') on May 29, 2025 making baseless allegations of malfeasance against the Company. These patently false allegations have been intentionally or recklessly fabricated as part of the campaign of misinformation employed by Apollo and its Chairman and CEO, Regan McGee in their bid to distract and mislead the Company's shareholders and parlay their 3% ownership position into total control of MediPharm's Board of Directors. MediPharm recently completed a full year-end audit with MNP LLP and received a clean audit opinion dated March 30, 2025, as it has in all previous fiscal years since becoming a public company. Public companies are not required to audit their quarterly financial results nor is it market practice to do so. The Company complies fully with International Financial Reporting Standards and its continuous disclosure obligations pursuant to Canadian securities law. MediPharm has commenced legal proceedings this week to address, in part, material misstatements Apollo has been making and has asked the court to award its costs. About MediPharm Labs Founded in 2015, MediPharm Labs specializes in the development and manufacture of purified, pharmaceutical-quality cannabis concentrates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and advanced derivative products utilizing a Good Manufacturing Practices certified facility with ISO standard-built clean rooms. MediPharm Labs has invested in an expert, research driven team, state-of-the-art technology, downstream purification methodologies and purpose-built facilities for delivery of pure, trusted and precision-dosed cannabis products for its customers. MediPharm Labs develops, formulates, processes, packages and distributes cannabis and advanced cannabinoid-based products to domestic and international medical markets. In 2021, MediPharm Labs received a Pharmaceutical Drug Establishment License from Health Canada, becoming the only company in North America to hold a commercial-scale domestic Good Manufacturing Practices License for the extraction of multiple natural cannabinoids. This GMP license was the first step in the Company's current foreign drug manufacturing site registration with the US FDA. In 2023, MediPharm acquired VIVO Cannabis Inc., which expanded MediPharm's reach to medical patients in Canada via Canna Farms medical ecommerce platform, and in Australia and Germany through Beacon Medical Australia PTY Ltd. and Beacon Medical Germany GMBH. This acquisition also included Harvest Medical Clinics in Canada which provides medical cannabis patients with Physician consultations for medical cannabis education and prescriptions. The Company carries out its operations in compliance with all applicable laws in the countries in which it operates.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 was $0.3 million, an improvement of 124% compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. VANCOUVER, BC, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Tribe Property Technologies Inc. (TSXV: TRBE) (OTCQB: TRPTF) (" Tribe" or the " Company"), a leading provider of technology-elevated property management solutions, today announces its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2025. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars on an as reported basis under IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) unless otherwise indicated. Joseph Nakhla, Tribe's CEO commented, " We are extremely pleased with the strong results delivered in Q1-2025, which reflect the successful execution of our growth strategy. Achieving revenue of $8.0 million, a 49% increase over Q1-2024, and generating positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive quarter are significant milestones for Tribe. Our year-over-year adjusted EBITDA improvement highlights our ability to drive profitability even amidst macroeconomic volatility. Since September 1, 2024 we have been able to repay $1.25 million in vendor takeback debt. The recently announced agreement to acquire Ace Agencies illustrates our desire to strengthen our position in the single unit rental market with its high margins and increasing demand from condo owners. As we continue to innovate and add new services, we are confident that Tribe is well-positioned for sustainable growth and long-term value creation. Our outlook for the full year remains optimistic, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead as we work to deliver sustained value for our shareholders and clients." Angelo Bartolini, Tribe's President and CFO, stated, "T he strong financial performance in Q1-2025, including our second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, underscores Tribe's ability to generate positive cash flows while maintaining a solid financial foundation. With a 49% increase in revenue and the successful completion of our non-brokered private placement, we are in a strong position to execute on our strategic initiatives. The $1.1 million in proceeds from the private placement, along with our commitment to reducing debt and managing payables, enhances our financial flexibility and provides a solid base for continued growth. As we continue to navigate the challenges of the current economic environment, we remain focused on improving profitability, expanding our service offerings, and improving operational efficiencies." Q1-2025 Financial Highlights: Revenue: Tribe achieved first quarter 2025 revenue of $8.0 million; an increase of 49% compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. Revenue growth was driven by acquisitions over the past year and the Company's organic growth. Gross profit 2: Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 was $3.3 million; an increase of 77% compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Gross margin percentage was 44% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to Gross margin percentage of 39% in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA(2): Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $0.3 million; an improvement of 124% compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was due to scaling of the business, efficiency initiatives implemented last year, consolidation of accounting systems and backend processes across acquired companies. Q1-2025 Business Highlights: On January 22, 2025, the Company announced its partnership with Electric Asset Inc., a provider of intelligent energy management solutions, to offer strata corporations in British Columbia access to specialized services such as Electrical Planning Reports (EPRs), EV Ready Plans (EVRPs), Opportunity Assessment Reports (OARs), Annual Energy and Carbon Reporting (GHG), and Voltage Conversion Projects (VCPs). The partnership supports compliance with evolving legislation, enhances building sustainability, streamlines access to grants, and promotes ESG initiatives. On February 6, 2025, the Company announced the launch of its proprietary Property Management Inspections Tool, available within the Tribe Home platform to digitize and streamline on-site inspections. The tool enhances reporting accuracy, supports regulatory compliance, and provides greater visibility for Strata Councils and Condo Boards. The Company also reaffirmed the strength of its asset-light model and resilient revenue base amid global macroeconomic volatility. On March 28, 2025, the Company completed a private placement equity financing raising gross proceeds of $1.1 million from the sale of units of the Company at a price of $0.52 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant of the Company. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.82 per common share, until March 28, 2030, subject to adjustment in certain events. The financing, led by the CEO, CFO, EVP, and members of the Board of Directors, was priced above the 20-day VWAP, underscoring insider confidence and supporting the Company's financial stability during a period of economic uncertainty. Events Subsequent to March 31, 2025: On May 27, 2025, the Company announced its agreement to acquire Ace Agencies Ltd., a single-unit rental property management firm based in Abbotsford, British Columbia, significantly expanding Tribe's rental portfolio in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. Ace Agencies generated over $1.4 million in unaudited revenue with positive EBITDA[3] in 2024 and manages approximately 900 single-family rental homes. The acquisition increases Tribe's single-unit rental portfolio by 275%, tripling its presence in this segment and aligning with the Company's strategy to offer full-service property management solutions to both investors and homeowners across Canada. Outlook: Management remains optimistic that 2025 will be a strong year for Tribe. In addition, the Company expects to further augment its growth through acquisitions. Tribe remains resilient in the current higher interest rate environment with technology solutions that benefit our clients. The Company's key goals for 2025 are as follows: Increase growth. Growth will be fueled by landing new property management agreements, onboarding more communities onto the Tribe platform, winning new software licensing agreements and increasing digital services revenue. Pursue strategic acquisitions. Tribe continues to evaluate strategic acquisitions with a view of adding targets that would be immediately accretive. Continue to innovate. Tribe is committed to investing in its software platform, adding functionality and leveraging artificial intelligence in order to maintain its industry leadership position.

Non-IFRS Measures This news release contains non-IFRS measures, including Gross Profit, Gross Profit Percentage and Adjusted EBITDA. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. Gross Profit 2 Three Months Ended March 31 $000s 2025 2024 Revenue, excluding ancillary revenues $ 7,454 $ 4,684 Cost of software & services and software license fees (excluding costs related to ancillary revenues) 4,198 2,847 Gross Profit 2 $ 3,256 $ 1,837 Gross Profit 2 Percentage 43.7 % 39.2 % Financial Statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis Please see the consolidated financial statements and related Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") for more details. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and related MD&A have been reviewed and approved by Tribe's Audit Committee and Board of Directors. Tribe recognizes that most of its investors are now accessing corporate and financial information either through pushed news services, directly from or SEDAR+. Thus, Tribe has prepared this truncated news release to alert investors to its results and that a more detailed explanation and analysis is readily available in the MD&A. These reports have been filed on SEDAR+ at and posted at Footnotes (1) Non-IFRS measures: Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. We define Adjusted EBITDA attributed to shareholders as net income or loss excluding severance and acquisition costs, interest expense and finance costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, current and deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, fair value gains and losses on investments, and other expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides important and relevant information to our management about our operating and financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA also enables our management to assess our ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, and to support future growth. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring or not useful to investors. Investors should be cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA attributable to shareholders should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows as determined under IFRS. (2) Non-IFRS measures: Gross profit and gross profit percentage do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. We define gross profit as revenue, excluding ancillary revenues, less cost of software and services and software licensing fees. Cost of software and services include direct costs of community managers, client accounting staff and accounting software, excluding client administration and other administrative applications. We define gross profit percentage as gross profit calculated as a percentage of revenues, excluding ancillary revenues. Gross profit and gross profit percentage should not be construed as an alternative for revenue or net loss in accordance with IFRS. We believe that gross profit and gross profit percentage are meaningful metrics in assessing our financial performance and operational efficiency. (3) Non-IFRS measures: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (" EBITDA") is a non-IFRS measure. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income/loss determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric with respect to Ace Agencies as it measures cash generated from operations which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives.

For more information contact:Investor Relationsinfo@ Rathwell, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Investor Relations647 629 0018 The information presented herein refers to the non-IFRS financial measures of adjusted gross profit and EBITDA. We hedge currencies for certain product categories where either the supply or sales commitments are fixed in foreign currencies. The gains and losses from these hedging activities are combined with gross profit to determine adjusted gross profit. We also refer to EBITDA, which is Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These two measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective and thus highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of the Company. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts.
