TORONTO, March 23, 2026 /CNW/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading provider of software and technology solutions in the Intelligent Transportation System ("ITS") industry, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. All financial information in this press release is reported in United States ("US") dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Quarterhill delivered a strong finish to 2025, reflecting continued progress executing its multi-year transformation and positioning the Company to scale its AI-driven intelligent transportation platform. With sustained gross margin expansion, positive Adjusted EBITDA1, and continued cash generation, Quarterhill enters 2026 with a stronger operating foundation and increasing momentum across the business.

Growing demand for modernization of roadway infrastructure, freight mobility, and automated enforcement continues to drive interest in Quarterhill's AI-enabled solutions.

Q4 2025 Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 totaled $4.4 million, compared to $1.2 million in Q4 2024, representing a $3.2 million year-over-year improvement and marking the Company's second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA1.
  • Gross margin expanded to 31%, an improvement of 1,100 basis points compared to 20% in Q4 2024.1
  • Cash generated from operations was $4.1 million, compared to $6.5 million in Q4 2024.
  • Revenue backlog2 was $404.3 million at December 31, 2025.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $24.8 million at December 31, 2025, an improvement from $24.1 million at the end of the prior quarter.

Q4 2025 and Recent Business and Operational Highlights

  • Illinois Tollway Contract Extension ($10.7 Million): Secured a $10.7 million three-year extension with the Illinois Tollway to support and enhance mission-critical tolling operations and back-office systems, reinforcing Quarterhill's role as a long-term technology partner within one of the largest toll networks in the United States.
  • Global Weigh-In-Motion Expansion: Awarded multiple new and follow-on WIM contracts across Kuwait, Thailand, South Korea, and Cambodia, expanding Quarterhill's international deployment of AI-enabled roadway safety and enforcement technologies.
  • Tolling Contract ($5.2 Million): Secured a $5.2 million contract with an existing U.S. tolling customer to deploy its next-generation lane-based tolling platform, strengthening a long-standing customer relationship and supporting continued infrastructure modernization.
  • Arkansas DOT Modernization ($2.7 Million): Selected by the Arkansas Department of Transportation for a $2.7 million project to modernize freight operations at key interstate corridors, deploying AI-enabled weigh-in-motion and inspection technologies designed to improve freight mobility and roadway safety.
  • Washington State DOT Initiative ($2.3 Million): Partnered with Washington State DOT on a $2.3 million truck parking safety initiative along the I-5 corridor, enhancing real-time freight visibility and improving safety for commercial drivers along a critical freight corridor.
  • Growing Pipeline of ITS Modernization Opportunities: The Company continues to see increasing demand from transportation agencies seeking AI-enabled solutions to improve tolling efficiency, freight mobility, and roadway safety.

Management Commentary

"We exited 2025 as a stronger and more focused company," said Quarterhill CEO Chuck Myers. "Our margins have improved meaningfully, our operating model is more efficient, and we are seeing growing demand from transportation agencies for technology-driven solutions.

"As we move into 2026, the focus is on accelerating growth and scaling the business. We are winning new work, expanding our customer relationships, and increasing the mix of higher-margin, software and recurring revenue across our platform.

"At the same time, we are advancing our next-generation, AI-enabled platform, which is becoming a central part of how we compete and deliver value. This platform is designed to improve accuracy, automation, and real-time decision-making for our customers, while creating a more leveragable and profitable business model.

"Quarterhill today is building a technology-driven intelligent transportation platform with strong backlog visibility and a growing pipeline of opportunities. Our priorities are clear--drive disciplined top-line growth, continue expanding margins, and deliver sustained adjusted EBITDA profitability as we build long-term shareholder value."

Q4 2025 & Full Year 2025 Financial Review

Quarterhill's Management's Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, are available on the Company's website and at its profile at SEDAR+.

Revenues for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, were $38.5 million and $155.2 million, compared to $38.9 million and $153.3 million in the same periods last year. The increase in revenue for the year was due to growth in the Company's safety and enforcement business unit, while revenues for the year-to-date period remained comparable.

Gross profit2 as a value and as a percentage of revenues may be subject to significant variance in each reporting period due to the nature and type of contract and service work performed, and currency volatility. Gross profit for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, was $12.1 million and $32.8 million, or 31% and 21%, as compared to $7.8 million and $27.8 million, or 20% and 18%, in the same periods last year. The increase for Q4 and full year periods was primarily due to the restructuring, improved margins on certain tolling contracts, and continued strong margin performance from the safety and enforcement unit.

 Total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general, and administrative costs ("SG&A"), research and development ("R&D") costs, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and other charges. Total operating expenses for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, were $45.9 million and $83.8 million compared to $11.2 million and $43.7 million in the same periods last year. The increase for both periods is primarily due to a one-time $31.4 million goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA3 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, was $4.4 million and ($0.3) million, compared to $1.2 million and $0.2 million in the same periods last year. The higher Adjusted EBITDA4 in Q4 was primarily driven by the expansion in gross profit margin resulting from the company's restructuring and cost-cutting initiatives.

Net income (loss) for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, was ($34.5) million and ($54.4) million, or ($0.29) and ($0.47) per diluted share, compared to net income (loss) of $0.3 million and ($11.0) million, or $0.00 and ($0.10) per diluted share, in the same periods last year.

Cash generated from (used in) operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, was $4.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to cash generated from (used in) operations of $6.5 million and ($4.4) million in the same periods last year.

Cash and cash equivalents were $24.8 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $24.1 million at September 30, 2025, and $31.9 million at December 31, 2024.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Non-IFRS Ratios

Quarterhill uses both IFRS and certain non-IFRS financial measures to assess performance. Non-IFRS financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash ow of a company, (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the company, (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-IFRS ratios are financial measures disclosed by a company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company.

These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS, and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition, and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA - Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We use the non-IFRS financial measure "Adjusted EBITDA" to mean net loss adjusted for (i) income taxes, (ii) nance expense or income; (iii) amortization and impairment of intangibles; (iv) other charges and other one-time items; (v) depreciation of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment; (vi) stock-based compensation; (vii) foreign exchange (gain) loss ; (viii) other (income) expense; and (ix) changes in fair value of derivative liability. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to assess our normalized cash generated on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also a performance measure that may be used by investors to analyze the cash generated by Quarterhill. Adjusted EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to net income (loss) and cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as measure of liquidity. The most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is net income (loss). See "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA" below.

Adjusted EBITDA per share – Non-IFRS Ratio

Adjusted EBITDA per share is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the basic weighted average of common shares. Adjusted EBITDA per share is used by our management and investors to analyze cash generated by Quarterhill on a per share basis. The most comparable IFRS measure is earnings per share. See Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA below.

Backlog - Non-IFRS Financial Measure

We use the non-IFRS measure "backlog" to mean the total value of work that has not yet been completed but that in management's experience of similar situations has: (a) a high certainty of being performed pursuant to existing contracts or work orders specifying job scope, value and timing; (b) an expectation of expansion of existing contracts due to expected extensions; and/or (c) been awarded to one or more of our ITS operating subsidiaries as evidenced by a binding contract or where the finalization of a binding contract is reasonably assured. Activities under such contracts may cover a period of up to 15 years. We do not include in "backlog" the value of any expected but unsigned change orders that management considers may apply to such contracts.

Supplementary Financial Measures

Supplementary financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) are, or are intended to be, disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash ow of a company, (b) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, (c) are not non-IFRS financial measures, and (d) are not non-IFRS ratios. Key supplementary measures disclosed are as follows:

Gross margin %
Calculated as gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
