On top of it, ReefIQ opens the door to enterprise partnerships of a scale well beyond our historical recurring agreements, and new partner engagements under discussion are increasingly structured as platform partnerships, where we share in the economics of the assets we help create. The larger loss this quarter reflects deliberate investment in ReefIQ’s enterprise rollout.”“The US$30 million facility we announced today gives us the flexibility to fund that rollout as needed, without issuing a single share,” continued Dr. Bath. “No warrants or conversion feature, and no pledge of our assets. Our commercial model is shifting to recurring, compounding revenue with ReefIQ at its center, and this gives us the balance sheet to make that shift on our own terms.”Fiscal First Quarter 2027 Financial SummaryQuarter ended July 31 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per-share data)MetricFQ1 2027FQ1 2026ChangeRevenue3,8343,161+21%Gross profit2,2461,527+47%Gross margin58.6%48.3%+10.3 ptsTotal operating expenses8,3755,686+47%Operating loss(6,129)(4,159)-47%Net loss from continuing operations(6,085)(4,088)-49%Net loss for the quarter (1)(6,085)(2,959)-106%Loss per share, continuing operations(0.13)(0.09)(0.04)Net cash used in operating activities(4,042)(4,213)+4%Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations(5,091)(3,702)-38%(1) The prior-year period includes $1.1 million of net income from discontinued operations. There were no discontinued operations in the current period. This release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net loss before income taxes, amortization and depreciation, interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, and share-based payments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance. It has no standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release.Fiscal First Quarter Financial ResultsRevenue for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was $3.8 million, up 21.3% from $3.2 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit rose 47.1% to $2.2 million, and gross margin expanded to 58.6% from 48.3%, as revenue grew on a cost of sales that held at $1.6 million.Operating expenses were $8.4 million, compared with $5.7 million. Sales and marketing expenses rose to $3.2 million from $1.3 million, reflecting planned investment in the commercial team and infrastructure to bring ReefIQ™ to market and to onboard and scale enterprise deployments as agreements are signed, including non-recurring costs incurred in the quarter. General and administrative expenses were $3.9 million, compared with $3.3 million, with the increase primarily non-cash stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses were $1.3 million, compared with $1.0 million, reflecting additional engineering capacity to support the commercial development of the platform.Operating loss was $6.1 million, compared with $4.2 million, as planned investment in the ReefIQ enterprise rollout and higher non-cash stock-based compensation more than offset a $0.7 million increase in gross profit. Net loss from continuing operations was $6.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.09 per share. Total net loss was $6.1 million, compared with $3.0 million in the prior-year period, which included $1.1 million of income from discontinued operations.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Net cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million, compared with $4.2 million in the prior-year period, despite the increase in operating expenses, reflecting the non-cash nature of much of the G&A increase. Cash was $7.6 million at July 31, 2026, compared with $11.3 million at April 30, 2026, before the US$30 million facility commitment described below.On September 14, 2026, MindWalk announced a binding commitment from Sanabil (Cayman) for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to US$30 million at a fixed 7.00% interest rate, drawn as needed. The facility carries no financial maintenance covenants, no warrants or conversion feature, and no pledge of MindWalk assets. Proceeds are intended to support MindWalk’s shift to recurring, platform-based revenue: onboarding ReefIQ™ and LensAI™ enterprise clients as agreements are signed, and participating in the platform partnerships that increasingly define its commercial model, along with its biologics programs, working capital, and general corporate purposes. The term sheet is binding on both parties, and MindWalk and Sanabil (Cayman) will negotiate a definitive credit agreement with a target closing within 60 days.Conference Call and Webcast DetailsMonday, September 14, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern TimeThe conference call will be webcast live and available for replay via a link provided in the Events section of the Company’s Investor Relations pages at: https://ir.mindwalkai.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspxAnalyst registration URL:https://events.q4inc.com/analyst/231176031?pwd=m63SIFiSWebcast Attendee URL: https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/231176031 Anyone listening to the call is encouraged to read the Company’s periodic reports available on the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov, including the discussion of risk factors and historical results of operations and financial condition in those reports.About MindWalk Holdings Corp.MindWalk Holdings Corp.
