The defense sector remains a key growth area, accounting for 44% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 2024, with significant new and renewed multi-year contracts secured.
The company is expanding its geographical footprint, particularly in the UK, Europe, and the US, through strategic hires and the launch of a US subsidiary focused on federal government and defense opportunities.

Negative

Organic growth was down 5% due to reductions in domestic defense training and delays in large programs in space and commercial IT infrastructure verticals.
Gross margins decreased slightly to 32% due to revenue mix, and adjusted EBITDA decreased to CAD 18 million from CAD 21 million last year.
The company posted a net loss of CAD 1 million in the quarter due to non-cash accounting charges.
Cash flow from operations was impacted by working capital usage, primarily driven by investment in inventory.
The M&A strategy faced challenges as potential targets did not meet internal return metrics, leading to no new deals closed since Q3.
