MONTREAL, Nov. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Alithya Group inc. (TSX: ALYA) ("Alithya" or the "Company") reported today its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 ended September 30, 2025. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Summary of the financial results for the second quarter:

Quote by Paul Raymond, President and CEO, Alithya:

"The Alithya team has once again demonstrated the power of our model. Our focus on value creation for our clients and our execution against this plan is showing in our results. We are showing ourselves as a force in the industry, growing steadily and moving up the value chain. For our investors, this is reflected in a double digit, year-over-year, growth in our margins and our revenues. While our industry is challenged by current market conditions, our expanded capabilities, achieved through recent acquisitions and the integration of our partners' latest technologies, are enabling us to work on larger, higher-value, mission critical projects that are an essential backbone to the AI transformation."

Second Quarter Results

Revenues

Revenues amounted to $124.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $12.8 million, or 11.5%, from $111.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Revenues in Canada decreased by $4.4 million, or 7.4%, to $55.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $59.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to reduced revenues from government contracts and certain client projects reaching maturity, partially offset by revenues from the acquisition of XRM Vision Inc. and its subsidiaries on December 1, 2024 ("XRM Vision"), higher billing rates, and a continued recovery in the banking sector.

U.S. revenues increased by $16.3 million, or 34.8%, to $63.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $46.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due primarily to organic growth in enterprise transformation services, higher billing rates in certain areas of the business, revenues from the acquisition of eVerge Interests, Inc. and its subsidiaries on May 31, 2025 ("eVerge"), and a favorable US$ exchange rate impact of $0.6 million between the two periods.

International revenues increased by $0.8 million, or 15.7%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to organic growth in enterprise transformation services.

During the quarter, 22 new clients were signed.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased by $8.7 million, or 25.5%, to $42.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $34.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 34.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 30.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

In Canada, gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to a positive margin contribution from XRM Vision, higher hourly billing rates, as a result of providing a greater proportion of higher-value services, a proportionally larger decrease in the use of subcontractors compared to permanent employees, and a slight increase in utilization rates.

In the U.S., gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to increased utilization rates, the increased use of our smart shoring capabilities, and higher billing rates.

International gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to one client project coming to maturity, which historically had a higher gross margin.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $31.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $5.4 million, or 20.8%, from $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, including $2.7 million of expenses related to XRM Vision and eVerge. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues amounted to 25.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 23.2% for the same period last year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to expenses from XRM Vision and eVerge, increased employee compensation costs, mainly stemming from variable compensation, and increased professional fees and share-based compensation, partially offset by decreased information technology and communications costs and business development costs.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $31.0 million, representing an increase of $30.7 million, from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to the $38.0 million impairment of goodwill and intangibles, increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including $2.7 million of expenses related to XRM Vision and eVerge, increased amortization of intangibles, and increased net financial expenses, partially offset by increased gross margin, driven by higher revenues and positive contributions from the acquisitions of XRM Vision and eVerge, decreased business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, due primarily to the $4.4 million gain from a change in fair value of contingent consideration related to the XRM Acquisition, decreased depreciation, increased foreign exchange gain, and decreased income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. On a per share basis, this translated into a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.32 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.00 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Adjusted Net Earnings

Adjusted Net Earnings amounted to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $4.2 million, or 80.0%, from $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. As explained above, the increase was primarily due to increased gross margin, driven by higher revenues and positive contributions from the acquisitions of XRM Vision and eVerge, decreased depreciation of property and equipment, increased foreign exchange gain, and decreased income tax expense, partially offset by, increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including $2.7 million of expenses related to XRM Vision and eVerge, and increased net financial expenses. This translated into Adjusted Net Earnings per Share of $0.10 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.05 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $3.5 million, or 37.5%, from $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. As explained above, the increase was due primarily to increased gross margin, driven by higher revenues and positive contributions from the acquisitions of XRM Vision and eVerge, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 10.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Bookings

Bookings amounted to $90.9 million, which translated into a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.73 for the quarter, compared to $84.0 million, which translated into a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.75, for the same quarter last year. Bookings for the trailing twelve months amounted to $447.5 million as at September 30, 2025, which translated into a Book-to-Bill ratio of 0.91.

If revenues from the two long-term contracts signed as part of an acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were excluded, the Book-to-Bill ratio would be 0.80, compared to 0.85 for the same quarter last year. For the trailing twelve months as at September 30, 2025, the Book-to-Bill ratio, excluding revenues from the two long-term contracts, would be 1.01.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net cash from operating activities was $1.1 million, representing a decrease of $1.9 million, from $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The net cash from operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025, after adding back the impairment of goodwill and intangible of $38.0 million to the net loss of $31.0 million, resulted primarily from other non-cash adjustments and of net financial expenses, offset by $10.6 million in unfavorable changes in non-cash working capital items.

Unfavorable changes in non-cash working capital items of $10.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 were due mainly to the timing of payments, collections, and invoicing and consisted primarily of a $4.2 million increase in accounts receivable and other receivables, a $4.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a $2.5 million increase in unbilled revenues, and a $1.6 million increase in tax credits receivable, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in deferred revenues, a $0.3 million decrease in prepaids and a $0.1 million decrease in other assets.

As at September 30, 2025, drawings on the Credit Facility amounted to $102.3 million, and the availability of additional capital resources of Alithya amounted to $108.3 million, consisting of cash and availability under its credit facilities, including the accordion provision. Management believes that the Company is well positioned to sustain its operations while maintaining adequate levels of liquidity.

Gross margin increased by $9.9 million, or 13.6%, to $82.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $72.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 33.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from 31.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $61.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $4.4 million, or 7.7%, from $57.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, including $4.4 million of expenses from XRM Vision and eVerge, since its acquisition on May 31, 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues amounted to 24.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 24.8% for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $24.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $5.0 million, or 26.1%, from $19.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 9.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 8.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

On a per share basis, this translated into a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.31 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.03 per share for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted Net Earnings amounted to $16.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $5.8 million, or 56.6%, from $10.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Normal Course Issuer Bid Program ("NCIB")

On September 9, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and subsequently the TSX approved the implementation of a NCIB. Under the NCIB, the Company is allowed to purchase for cancellation up to 5,939,183 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing 10% of the Company's public float as of the close of markets on September 2, 2025.

The NCIB plan commenced on September 12, 2025 and will end on the earlier of September 11, 2026 and the date on which the Company will have acquired the maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares allowable under the NCIB or will otherwise have decided not to make any further purchases. All purchases of Subordinate Voting Shares are made by means of open market transactions at their market price at the time of acquisition. Concurrently, the Company entered into an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") with a designated broker in connection with its NCIB. The ASPP allows for the designated broker to purchase for cancellation Subordinate Voting Shares, on behalf of the Company, subject to certain trading parameters established, from time to time, by the Company.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Net Earnings per Share, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-IFRS measures and Bookings, Book-to-Bill Ratio, Backlog, Gross Margin as a Percentage of Revenues and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenues are other financial measures used in this press release. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of Alithya's results of operations from management's perspective.
