BluMetric Announces Q3 2026 Financial Results Delivered 43% quarterly revenue growth as Company enters seasonally strongest quarter for Professional Services alongside investments to support WaterTech growth Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 26, 2026) - BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSXV: BLM) (OTCQX: BLMWF) (" BluMetric " or " the Company "), an engineering WaterTech and full-service environmental consulting firm, announces its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026. Q3 2026 Select Financial Highlights (in CA$ thousands, unaudited) Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Additional Context Revenue 20,920 14,671 Increased 43% YOY, mainly driven by WaterTech USA, acquisition of DS Consultants and Whitteker Environmental, and improved Professional Services utilization. Next fiscal quarter (Q4 2026) is expected to be strongest quarter in the fiscal year for Professional Services due to seasonality Gross margin 37% 36% Improved gross margin from revenue mix and higher Professional Services utilization, and represents a significant improvement over previous three fiscal quarters Adjusted EBITDA 1 1,059 308 Higher YOY as the Company achieved operating leverage with increased revenues and gross profit. EBITDA was offset by investments in WaterTech USA's O&M services, and larger overhead to support the Company's continued growth Net earnings (loss) (756) (451) Mainly driven by $1,894 in non-cash depreciation and amortization and share compensation costs, offset by $302 in income tax recovery Free Cash Flow 2 658 271 Reflects improvements in both EBITDA and operating cash flow generation Working capital 3 9,497 8,520 Remains strong to execute on growth plan Net cash 4 1,160 3,422 Decrease reflects customer payments timing "We are proud of our execution this period, which led to another revenue record for the quarter," stated Scott MacFabe, CEO of BluMetric Environmental Inc. "A number of our investments have started to pay off as shown with our higher operating leverage, while simultaneously making investments in WaterTech. As BluMetric enters its highest utilization fiscal quarter for Professional Services, our goal is to finish the fiscal year strong and demonstrate the success of our M&A integration strategy." Business Highlights and Outlook In the fiscal quarter, BluMetric saw significant revenue growth (43% increase year-over-year) and a slight improvement to its gross margin by 100 basis points over the prior period. The revenue growth was mainly driven by WaterTech USA, the acquisitions of DS Consultants and Whitteker Environmental (impact of $5,976,000), and higher utilization in Professional Services. This growth was offset by lower revenues in WaterTech Canada due to the finalization of the Rheinmetall Canada contract and project timing. WaterTech USA's (Gemini Water) revenue growth was supported by the build phase of several projects, which skew toward higher revenue generation. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company signed a 49,000 sq. foot lease for an expanded facility in Gainesville, Florida. The new lease will commence on October 1, 2026, and nearly doubles WaterTech USA's manufacturing footprint. The Company believes the

expansion is critical to supporting existing and future potential demand for its desalination and wastewater treatment products and services for the U.S. and Caribbean markets. To date, BluMetric has been carrying the costs of its new O&M division to establish the first initial contracts and execute a higher-margin, more recurring service line for WaterTech USA. Along with the first O&M contract for its St. Kitts Bird Rock project, the Company continues to be in discussions with multiple clients to implement service agreements across groups of existing equipment installations. Furthermore, the Mining market revenues increased 63% in the fiscal quarter, reflecting increasing demand for higher-value technical and consulting services in Northern Ontario and Quebec. The Company is actively pursuing more work in the Mining sector in response to the growing tailwinds for critical minerals and a more constructive regulatory backdrop. The Government market saw a slight decline in revenues due to the timing of government contract awards. Lastly, the Military market saw a decrease in revenues because of the Rheinmetall project concluding and timing of replacement projects. The Company recently started finalizing the implementation and oversight of its Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC), allowing it to bid on Military contracts as a prime contractor. The Company is focused on backfilling capacity with larger-scale Military projects, reflecting opportunities in its sales pipeline. As BluMetric enters the last quarter in its fiscal year, it is focused on executing what it expects to be its seasonally strongest quarter for Professional Services. DS Consultants in particular, has historically generated a significant amount of its revenues and EBITDA during fourth fiscal quarter. For WaterTech, the Company is in a transition phase as it prepares for manufacturing capacity expansion in Florida and aims to secure its next flagship Military contracts. In addition, the new ERP implementation went live and is expected to help with further efficiencies and M&A integration. Overall, the Company believes that it is well positioned with its unique water technologies, growing demand for resilient and decentralized water solutions, and expert personnel. Water is becoming ever scarcer, and the environment more volatile, requiring the expertise of the Company's personnel and technologies. BluMetric strives to demonstrate excellence in its execution, operations, and build a foundation for further longer-term growth.
