2025 performance

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $137.5 million, a decrease of $4.4 million or 3.1%. Consolidated EBITDA for the year was $7.5 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, from EBITDA of $9.7 million in the prior year. Capital expenditure for the year was $5.2 million compared to $3.8 million in the prior year.

Of the $4.4 million decrease in total revenue, $3.1 million related to legacy print operations, the majority of which were sold or closed by the end of 2025. Revenue from core operations decreased $1.3 million, or 1.0%.

While revenues decreased overall in aggregate, the composition of revenues continued to shift. Changes in core revenue mix are as follows: Advertising revenue decreased by $9.2 million, or 14.4%, including sold and closed operations, Data and Subscription revenue increased $6.6 million or 12.0%, and Events and Services revenue decreased $0.7 million or 3.3%.

Advertising revenue has continued to be negatively impacted by market uncertainty and the closure or sale of community media publications over the past 12 months. The decrease in advertising revenue had an impact on the Commodity Information, Consumer Information and Print Community Media operations. These advertising revenue decreases were partially offset by the increases coming from Data and Subscription revenues, which were mainly in the Environmental Risk and Compliance Information operations.

The EBITDA decrease of $2.3 million year over year was largely driven by decreases in revenue in core operations. Overall, direct and general and administrative expenses were down $2.2 million year over year. Legacy print operations resulted in decreased expenses of $3.5 million, mostly due to the sale or closure of the operations. The increase in expenses in core operations was the result of investment spending in strategic growth areas.

Financial position

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $5.8 million and $6.4 million of non-recourse mortgages (which relate to land for the farm shows in Saskatchewan and Ontario).

Non-IFRS financial measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin and EBITDA per share, are not generally accepted measures of financial performance under IFRS. Management utilizes EBITDA as a financial performance measure to assess profitability and return on equity in its decision making. In addition, the Company, its lenders and its investors use EBITDA to measure performance and value for various purposes. Investors are cautioned; however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance.

The Company’s method of calculating these financial performance measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. A quantitative reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures is included in the section entitled EBITDA Reconciliation.
