Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, see “Non-IFRS Measures” below. “As we close the first half of 2025, NowVertical has taken another meaningful step forward delivering positive operating income and a 36% increase in adjusted EBITDA year-to-date. While Q2 2025 revenue declined 13%, largely due to the planned Chile restructuring, multi-year reseller contract adjustments, and the deferral of certain public sector deals, our strategic accounts grew 44% year-over-year and now represents over 70% of H1 2025 revenue. This shift strengthens the quality and predictability of our revenue mix and underpins our path towards sustainable growth. With continued focus on seeking high-value engagements, we remain confident in our ability to deliver a strong H2 2025 and advance toward our growth and profitability objectives.” said Sandeep Mendiratta, CEO of NOW.

Stefan Eftychiou stefan@bristolir.com +1(905)326-1888 x60 Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures: This news release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. 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. The Company’s definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this news release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. 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. The Company uses non IFRS financial measures including “EBITDA”, and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on our operational performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in our core 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 issuers. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and prepare annual budgets and forecasts. Non-IFRS Measures: The non-IFRS financial measures referred to in this news release are defined below. The management discussion and analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2025, available at nowvertical.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com contains supporting calculations for Adjusted Revenue, EBITDA % and Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” adjusts net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest costs, and provision for income taxes for revenue adjustments in “Adjusted Revenue” and items such as acquisition accounting adjustments, transaction expenses related to acquisitions, transactional gains or losses on assets, asset impairment charges, non- recurring expense items, non-cash stock compensation costs, and the full year impact of cost synergies related to restructuring activities, such as a reduction of employees. The Company has reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable financial measure as follows: “EBITDA %” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Revenue. “Adjusted Revenue” adjusts revenue to eliminate the effects of acquisition accounting on the Company’s revenues, which predominantly pertain to fair market value adjustments to the opening deferred revenue balances of acquired companies.
