2 Non-IFRS and Other Finance Measures. • Recurring Revenue1: Recurring Revenue1 generated during the period increased to $3.6 million and represented 23% of total revenue in the quarter . The increase continues to validate the Company’s operating model with the activation of Connected Devices and Infrastructure (“Connected Devices”) triggering recurring revenue through the life of a grid modernization deployment. • Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit improved to $8.5 million and Consolidated Gross Profit Margin was 54.9%. The favorable results were driven by the mix of Connected Devices shipped during the quarter and strong contributions from software license revenue. • Loss and Loss Per Share: Loss for the period was $1.0 million representing a loss per share of $0.02 . The loss primarily reflected higher operating expenses, including investments in sales and marketing as well as research and development to support longer-term growth initiatives. • Adjusted EBITDA 1: The Company delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $690,000, reflecting an increase of 35% over the prior year period. The increase reflects the operating leverage within the Company’s business model. • Cash Flow from Operating Activities: Cash Flow from Operating Activities reflected a cash outflow of approximately $5.7 million, driven primarily by working capital investments . These investments included approximately $2 million in inventory balances to proactively secure supply for key components amid selective cost and capacity constraints within the supply chain, and approximately $2.7 million related to the seasonal movement in deferred revenues. The Company expects the majority of the investment in inventory to support deployments in the second half of 2026 and into early 2027. • Liquidity1: Tantalus’ liquidity improved to approximately $41.3 million, consisting of $29.3 million of cash and borrowing availability of $12.0 million under its line of credit facility. OTHER KEY DEVELOPMENTS • Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”)1 Growth: ARR1 increased by approximately 13% year over year to another record-high level of $15.0 million as of June 30, 2026. • Sales Order Conversion: During Q2 2026, the Company converted $9.9 million of orders from its sales pipeline. For the first six months of 2026, total orders converted were $29.5 million, reflecting a year- to-date book-to-bill ratio of 0.97 x, measured against the Company’s highest first half revenue on record. This ratio is consistent with management’s experience of utility budget cycles and contract approvals, rather than a change in underlying demand. The Company continues to see durable demand supported by a growing, qualified pipeline of opportunities across both operating segments. • Growth of User Community : The Company added five new utilities during the quarter , bringing the number of new utilities through the first six months of 2026 to eight in total. The Company continues to demonstrate its ability to convert new accounts from its sales pipeline, with eight additional utilities currently in a contracting process with the Company. 1 See definitions for Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures.
