DR. PHONE FIX NAMED ONE OF CANADA'S TOP GROWING COMPANIES FOR FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Recognition follows 92% three-year revenue growth and continued organic and geographic expansion

EDMONTON, AB, Oct. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Dr. Phone Fix Canada Corporation (TSXV: DPF) ("Dr. Phone Fix" or the "Company"), one of Canada's fastest-growing and award-winning national consumer electronics lifecycle platforms, is pleased to announce that it has been named to The Globe and Mail's Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies for the fourth consecutive year.

The Company earned its place on the list after achieving 92% revenue growth over the three-year measurement period from 2022 to 2025.

This performance is supported by growing sales productivity across existing stores, a trusted customer brand built on exceptional customer service, and the Company's standardized operating platform, which integrates technician training, centralized procurement and inventory management. These internal growth drivers are further supported by favourable market trends, as rising smartphone prices encourage more Canadians to extend the life of their existing devices through repairs or turn to certified pre-owned alternatives.

"Four consecutive years of recognition reflects the consistency of our execution and the trust our customers place in us," said Piyush Sawhney, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Phone Fix. "We continue to see meaningful organic growth across our existing network while expanding our geographic footprint through disciplined acquisitions. Canada's device repair market remains highly fragmented, and we believe this creates an opportunity to build greater national scale by combining same-store growth with strategic consolidation, while staying true to our commitment to delivering fast, reliable service at a fair price."

The Company's recent acquisitions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick mark an important step in its national expansion, extending Dr. Phone Fix's presence into Atlantic Canada and bringing its network to 45 corporately owned locations across six provinces. These acquisitions demonstrate the Company's ability to expand its geographic footprint through strategic transactions, complementing the organic growth being generated across its existing store network.

Launched in 2019, Canada's Top Growing Companies is an annual editorial ranking recognizing growth-oriented Canadian businesses across industries. The 2026 list, now in its eight annual edition, underscores the breadth of Canadian entrepreneurial achievement.

"Our annual ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies celebrates the innovation, ambition and resilience of businesses across the country, and we're always excited to share as many of these standout stories as we can, including insight from the entrepreneurs themselves on how other companies can succeed, too," says Dawn Calleja, Editor of Report on Business magazine."

"The Globe and Mail congratulates the winners of Canada's Top Growing Companies 2026 on this exceptional achievement," says Andrew Saunders, President and CEO of The Globe and Mail. "Each of these organizations has shown an extraordinary ability to adapt, innovate and grow amid ongoing change. Their achievements reflect the ingenuity and determination of Canadian entrepreneurs and business leaders who are helping shape the future of our economy."

Dr. Phone Fix has received numerous national and international recognitions including consecutive top rankings on the Financial Times' 'Fastest Growing Companies in the Americas' list (2025, 2026), eight Gold Stevie® International Business Awards, three consecutive Stevie® People's Choice Awards, two Stevie® Sales Excellence awards in 2026.  The Company has also been recognized for its commitment to sustainability, receiving Canada's '2025 Sustainable Business of the Year Award' and an International Silver Stevie® for 'Sustainability Leadership in Canada and the USA. It won one of Alberta's top technology awards – the 2023 'Game Changer Award' presented by the Alberta Science and Technology Foundation (ASTech). It is a two-time winner of business awards from the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (2022, 2023) including one for customer excellence and a finalist or winner for business awards from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, and Chambers in Saskatoon, Regina, Lethbridge, St. Albert and Vernon.
