Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Product Sales
As described in Notes 2 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's revenue recognized from product sales was $153 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers at the transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company's main performance obligation to customers is the delivery of products in accordance with purchase orders. Each purchase order defines the transaction price for the products purchased under the arrangement. The Company's standard sales terms are Free On Board shipping point.
The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue from contracts with customers is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others (i) testing revenue recognized for a sample of revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, bills of lading and subsequent cash receipts; and (ii) confirming a sample of outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 31, 2024 and, for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as invoices, bills of lading and subsequent cash receipts.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”), including comparative figures, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
In these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. DIRTT’s financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency, and the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. All references to US$ or $ are to U.S. dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars.
Principles of consolidation
The Financial Statements include the accounts of DIRTT and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Basis of measurement
These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments, assets held for sale and stock-based compensation that are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the Financial Statements. Estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include:
- Estimates of ability and timeliness of customer payments of trade receivables;
- Estimates of useful lives of depreciable assets as well as the fair value of long-term assets and future cash flows used for impairment calculations;
- Determining the fair value less costs to sell of the assets held for sale;
9
- Estimates of future taxable earnings used to assess the realizable value of deferred tax assets and the ability to recognize a deferred tax asset;
- Estimates of inventory obsolescence based on slow moving inventory items;
- Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiary operate;
- Estimates of the fair value of stock awards, including whether the performance criteria will be met and measurement of the ultimate payout amount; and
- Estimates of liabilities associated with the potential and amount of warranty, legal claims and other contingencies.
Segments
Management has determined that DIRTT has one operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, president and chief operating officer, and chief financial officer, who are DIRTT’s chief operating decision makers, review financial information on a consolidated and aggregate basis, together with certain operating metrics principally, to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance.
Foreign currency translation
DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. is a Canadian company and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. DIRTT’s wholly owned subsidiary, DIRTT Environmental Solutions Inc., is domiciled in the United States and its functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than those held through foreign subsidiaries, are translated into the transacting company’s functional currency at the year-end exchange rate for monetary items, and at the historical exchange rates for non-monetary items. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses, other than those arising from the translation of the Company’s net investments in its foreign subsidiary, are included in income.
The accounts of the Company’s U.S. dollar subsidiary is translated into Canadian dollars, and the Financial Statements are translated into U.S. dollars for financial statement presentation. Assets and liabilities are translated using year-end exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities are included in “comprehensive income (loss) for the year”.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand held at banks and cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash is a reserve account not available for immediate or general business use and is required as collateral to commercial credit cards or when certain requirements are not met under the terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (as defined in Note 14).
Trade and other receivables, net of expected credit losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using the current expected credit loss methodology, which is designed to capture the Company’s current estimate of all expected credit losses.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of raw materials and work in progress. The Company does not typically carry a significant amount of finished goods inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on an item’s usability in the manufacturing of the Company’s products. The Company records an allowance for obsolescence when the net realizable value of inventory items declines below weighted average cost. Net realizable value is determined based on current market prices for inventory less the estimated cost to sell. Work in progress is valued at an estimate of cost, including attributable overheads, based on stage of completion.
10
Fixed production overheads are allocated to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of the production facilities. In periods where production levels are abnormally low, unallocated overheads are separately recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Assets held for sale
The Company classifies an asset group (“asset”) as held for sale in the period that (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year (subject to certain events or circumstances), (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially and subsequently measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company stops recording depreciation expense on the asset.
The Company assesses the fair value of assets held for sale less any costs to sell at each reporting period until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale.
Leases
The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases. Leases where the Company assumes substantially all of the rewards or ownership and leases where ownership is transferred at the end of the lease term, or by way of a bargain purchase option, are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of operations.
The Company’s Leasing Facilities (as defined in Note 14) are accounted for as finance leases as ownership of the equipment is expected to return to the Company at the end of the lease term. These transactions are not accounted for as a sale of the underlying equipment as the Company continues to control the equipment.
For leases categorized as operating, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease element at inception. The arrangement is a lease if it conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are separately disclosed as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, with a corresponding lease liability split between current and long-term components on the balance sheet. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included on the balance sheet.
The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including direct costs, attributable indirect costs and carrying costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.
11
Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Building | 25 years |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing equipment | 10 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Over term of lease (1 to 13 years) |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Tooling and prototypes | 4 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 years |
| Vehicles | 3 years |
When assets are disposed of or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses.
Capitalized software costs
The Company capitalizes costs related to internally developed software during the application development stage when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project, and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and performed as intended. Capitalized costs include costs of personnel and related expenses for employees and third parties directly attributable to the projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for significant upgrades and enhancements are also capitalized. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities, including training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the developed asset, which is five years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the assets.
Software development is considered internal-use as it is used to design and sell the DIRTT products and is not included in the end client's product. Revenues received from Construction Partners for ICE Software are recognized as revenues as they are considered an element of the product sale. Any incidental third-party revenues received for the ICE Software are credited against capitalized software costs. The Company follows this accounting policy for cloud computing arrangements that are considered a service contract, however, these projects are capitalized to prepaids and other assets on the balance sheet and are expensed as an operating cost, as opposed to amortization, over the expected term of the software service contract.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's property, plant and equipment, capitalized software costs and ROU assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and changes in circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company's business strategy. Impairment testing is performed at an asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (an "asset group"). In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset group. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Convertible Debentures
The Company accounts for convertible debentures as liabilities. Embedded features included in the convertible debentures that require bifurcation are accounted for separately. Costs incurred directly related to the issuance of convertible debentures are presented as a direct deduction against the carrying amount of the convertible debentures and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
12
13
Income taxes
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity.
Current tax
Current tax expense is based on the results for the year, adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period during which the change occurs.
When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the Company's deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management's judgment using available evidence about future events.
At times, tax benefits claims may be challenged by a tax authority. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not sustainable upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for "unrecognized tax benefits" is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company's tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.
Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASC 606") and Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue in a manner that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers at the transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for sales incentives related to current period product revenue. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after discounts, rebates and sales taxes or income taxes and duties.
Product sales
The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. The Company's main performance obligation to customers is the delivery of products in accordance with purchase orders. Each purchase order defines the transaction price for the products purchased under the arrangement. Construction Partners typically sell DIRTT product to end clients and issue purchase orders to the Company to manufacture the product. Construction Partners utilize ICE licenses to sell DIRTT products. The ICE licenses sold to Construction Partners are not considered a separate performance obligation as they are not distinct, and ICE license revenue is recognized in conjunction with product sales. The Construction Partner ICE Software revenue is recognized over the license period.
The Company’s standard sales terms are Free On Board shipping point, which comprise the majority of sales. The Company usually requires a 50% progress payment on receipt of certain orders, excluding certain government orders or in some special contractual situations. Customer deposits received are recognized as a liability on the balance sheet until revenue recognition criteria is met. At the point of shipment, the customer is generally required to pay the balance of the sales price within 30 days. The Company’s sales arrangements do not have any material financing components. In addition, the Company’s customer arrangements do not produce contract assets that are material to its consolidated financial statements.
The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized.
The Company accounts for product transportation revenue and costs as fulfillment activities and presents the associated costs in costs of goods sold in the period in which the Company sells its product.
Contracts containing multiple performance obligations
The Company offers certain arrangements whereby a customer can purchase products and installation together, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Where multiple performance obligations exist, the Company determines revenue recognition by (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance obligation in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling prices, typically based on cost plus a reasonable margin, and (5) recognizing revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Installation and other services
The Company provides installation and other services for certain customers as a distinct performance obligation. Revenue from installation services is recognized over time as the service is performed.
Principal vs Agent Considerations
The Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross vs. net basis based on whether it acts as a principal by controlling the product or service sales to customers. In certain instances, the Company facilitates contracting of certain sales on behalf of Construction Partners. The Company records these revenues on a gross basis when the Company is obligated to fulfill the service and has the risk associated with service delivery. The Company records these revenues on a net basis when the Construction Partner has the obligation to fulfill the services and has the risk associated with service delivery.
Construction Partner rebates
Rebates to Construction Partners (“Partner Rebates”) are accrued for and recognized as a reduction of revenue at the date of the sale to the customer. Partner Rebates include amounts collected directly by the Company owed to Construction Partners in accordance with their Construction Partner agreements, being the difference between the price to the end customer and the Construction Partners’ price. Other sales discounts are deducted immediately from sales invoices.
Contract balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. As the Company’s contracts are less than one year in duration, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedients to expense costs related to costs to obtain contracts and not disclose unfulfilled performance obligations. As deferred revenue and customer deposits are typically recognized during the year, the Company does not account for financing elements.
Warranties
The Company provides a warranty on all products sold to its clients and Construction Partner’s clients. Warranties are not sold separately to customers. Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized based on an analysis of historical costs for warranty claims relative to current activity levels and adjusted for factors based on management’s assessment that increase or decrease the provision. Warranty provision is recognized in cost of goods sold. Warranty claims have historically not been material and do not constitute a separate performance obligation.

15
Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the fair value-based approach to account for options, share awards and restricted share units (“RSUs”). Compensation expense and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” are recognized for options and RSUs over their vesting period based on their estimated fair values on the grant date, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the majority of options and the market value of the Company’s common shares on the grant date for share awards and RSUs. Certain executive RSUs have performance conditions and are valued using a Monte Carlo model.
On exercise of stock options and RSUs, the recorded fair value of the option or RSU is removed from “Additional paid-in capital” and credited to “Share capital”. For options, any consideration paid by employees is credited to “Share capital” when the option is exercised. The Company’s stock options and RSUs are not shares of the Company and have no rights to vote, receive dividends, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
Stock-based compensation expense is also recognized for performance share units (“PSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”) using the fair value method. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period and the corresponding amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.
The Company measures the DSUs granted under the 2023 and 2024 LTIP (the “New DSUs”) using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date as the present intention is to settle the New DSUs in equity. This is recognized as an increase to stock-based compensation and the corresponding liability on the balance sheet.
Technology and development expenditures
Technology and development expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and benefits associated with the Company’s product and software development personnel which do not qualify for capitalization. These costs are expensed as incurred and exclude certain information technology costs used in operations which are classified as general and administrative costs.
Government subsidies
The Company accounts for government subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to present government subsidies as other income. The nature, significant terms and conditions of government subsidies are disclosed in the Financial Statements.
Common shares
In lieu of a par value for common shares, the Company has elected to calculate any cancellation of common shares using the stated value of shares. The excess of purchase cost over stated value of shares cancelled upon repurchase will be recorded as additional paid-in capital.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year and adjusted for any change in capital structure events triggering retroactive changes to weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for determining the dilutive impact of stock options, RSUs, PSUs, PRSUs and New DSUs. The Company follows the “if converted” method for accounting for the impact of convertible debentures on net income (loss) per share, whereby interest charges applicable to the convertible debentures are added to the numerator and the convertible debentures are assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or time of issuance, if later), and the resulting common shares are added to the denominator.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company’s fair value analysis is based on the degree to which the fair value is observable and grouped into categories accordingly:
- Level 1 financial instruments are those which can be derived from quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for similar financial assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 financial instruments are those which can be derived from inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). Level 2 financial instruments include current and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximates fair value due to limited changes to interest rates and the Company’s credit rating since issuance.
- Level 3 financial instruments are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the financial asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Company does not have any Level 3 financial instruments.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash; trade and accrued receivables, other receivables; accounts payable and accrued liabilities; other liabilities; and customer deposits approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance was effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (the “ASU-2023-09”) further disaggregated information on an entity’s tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU-2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard and expects the impact to be limited to disclosures.
On November 5, 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (the “ASU-2024-03”) which requires further disaggregated information on an entity’s types of expenses presented to better understand the components of an entity’s expense captions. The amendments within ASU-2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods starting December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard and expects the impact to be limited to disclosures.
On November 27, 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-04, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” (the “ASU-2024-04”) which requires discussing an entity’s assessment of induced conversion and debt extinguishment of convertible debt instruments. The amendments in ASU-2024-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.
Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

4. GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES
In the United States, the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) was established by Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to provide an incentive for employers to keep their employees on their payroll during COVID-19 closures. The ERC is a refundable payroll tax credit based on qualified wages paid by an eligible employer between March 12, 2020, and October 1, 2021, for companies experiencing a significant decline in gross receipts during a calendar quarter or having operations fully or partially suspended during the quarter due to COVID-19. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined it was eligible for the ERC for the first three quarters of 2021 and filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). As at December 31, 2023, the $7.3 million of these claimed credits (plus an additional $0.2 million of interest) were received.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, no government subsidies were claimed or received.
5. REORGANIZATION AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The Company had undertaken a number of reorganization initiatives beginning in 2022. In the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no new initiatives.
Closure of Phoenix Aluminum Manufacturing Facility (the “Phoenix Facility”)
On February 22, 2022, we commenced the process of closing our Phoenix Facility, shifting related manufacturing to both our Savannah and Calgary aluminum manufacturing facilities. The closure of the Phoenix Facility was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2022. The Company entered into a sublease arrangement during the second quarter of 2022, commencing July 1, 2022, which exceeds the contractual lease commitments under the Right of Use assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for the Phoenix Facility that commenced on October 1, 2024 and terminates on March 24, 2027.
Workforce Reductions, Board and Management Changes
In February and July of 2022, we announced our intention to eliminate a portion of our salaried workforce, including manufacturing and office positions, along with other cost reduction initiatives. The Company’s Board of Directors was reconstituted following a proxy contest in April 2022, which was deemed a change of control under the Company’s insurance policy resulting in additional insurance expenditures. Further, the Company made changes to several executive officer roles during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we continued to review costs, resulting in the elimination of additional salaried positions in the second and third quarters of 2023. These actions resulted in the Company incurring certain one-time termination costs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no termination costs related to restructuring were incurred.
Temporary Suspension of Operations and Subsequent Closure at the Rock Hill Facility
On August 23, 2022, we announced the temporary suspension of operations at our Rock Hill Facility, shifting related manufacturing to our Calgary manufacturing facility. Costs associated with this idle facility, included in costs of sales, were $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023 - $2.0 million).
On September 27, 2023, we announced our intention to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. We have moved certain assets to our other facilities and disposed of the remaining assets. The assets disposed of were reclassified and measured as assets held for sale (see table below) as at December 31, 2023. As a result of this decision, we incurred $8.7 million of impairment charges associated with the transfer of assets from held for use to held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2024, all assets have been moved out of the facility and are in the process of being set up at our other facilities. The Company will continue to maintain the Rock Hill Facility building lease and is pursuing a sublease arrangement. Based on prevailing market prices in the area, no impairment indicators exist as at December 31, 2024 for the Right of Use asset of $6.2 million and the related leasehold improvements of $2.5 million.
Reorganization costs incurred related to the above-mentioned initiatives:
| For the year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Termination benefits | - | 2,162 | 7,042 |
| Insurance costs on change of control | - | - | 3,691 |
| Phoenix facility closure | - | 99 | 756 |
| Professional Services | - | - | 1,021 |
| Rock Hill Facility temporary suspension and closure of operations | 1,101 | 295 | 129 |
| Other costs | 12 | 453 | 822 |
| Total reorganization costs | 1,113 | 3,009 | 13,461 |
| Reorganization costs in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at January 1, 2024 | 596 |
|---|---|
| Reorganization expense | 1,113 |
| Reorganization costs paid | (1,592) |
| Reorganization costs in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2024 | 117 |
Of the $0.1 million reorganization costs in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $0.6 million), $0.07 million relates to termination benefits (December 31, 2023 - $0.5 million) and $0.03 million relates to Rock Hill Facility reorganization costs (December 31, 2023 - $0.1 million). The Company has moved the remaining assets at the Rock Hill Facility to other operating locations.
Assets held for sale
Assets classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2023, of $1.6 million consisted of manufacturing equipment previously used in the Rock Hill Facility (refer to Note 11). As part of the decision to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility, $10.3 million of assets were assessed against the assets held for sale criteria and reclassified from property, plant and equipment to assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2023. The assets were measured at the lower of the net book value versus the fair value less cost to sell resulting in an impairment charge of $8.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $1.0 million of the assets held for sale were sold. At March 31, 2024, the assets held for sale balance was reduced from $0.5 million to $nil, resulting in a $0.5 million impairment charge for the first quarter as we were not able to determine the likelihood of a sale based on the market interest at that time. These assets were subsequently disposed.
| As at December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Assets held for sale, opening | 1,555 | - |
| Proceeds from sale of assets held for sale | (1,025) | - |
| Impairment charge on reassessment | (530) | (8,716) |
| Net book value transferred from property, plant and equipment | - | 10,271 |
| Assets held for sale, ending | - | 1,555 |
To move the assets or dispose of the assets at the Rock Hill Facility, the Company fully settled the principal balance of the U.S. leasing facility in the fourth quarter of 2023. Principal payments of $7.8 million and interest penalties of $0.4 million were incurred (refer to Note 14). As a result of this settlement, $2.6 million of restricted cash was released to the Company in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Discontinuation of Reflect Product Line and Other Charges Incurred
In August 2022, the Company discontinued the Reflect and other product lines, resulting in a one-time inventory write-down of $1.0 million, and an acceleration of amortization expense associated with ICE development for Reflect.
Additionally, the Company accelerated the depreciation of certain items of property, plant and equipment associated with the closure of the Phoenix Facility resulting in additional depreciation incurred in the first quarter of 2022.
These costs were included in cost of sales:
| For the Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Provision for inventory of discontinued product lines | - | - | 1,035 |
| Accelerated amortization associated with product line discontinuation | - | - | 1,019 |
| Accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with closure of the Phoenix Facility | - | - | 1,054 |
| Incremental cost of sales | - | - | 3,108 |
- GAIN ON SALE OF SOFTWARE AND PATENTS
There were no sales of software and patents during the year ended December 31, 2024.
On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Co-Ownership Agreement (the “Co-Ownership Agreement”) and a partial patent assignment agreement with AWI. The agreements provided for a cash payment from AWI to the Company of $10.0 million, subject to certain routine closing conditions, in exchange for the partial assignment to AWI and resulting co-ownership of a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in certain intellectual property rights in a portion of the ICE software that is used by AWI (the “Applicable ICE Code”), including a 50% interest in the patent rights that relate to the Applicable ICE Code. Under the Co-Ownership Agreement, the Company also agreed to provide AWI a transfer of knowledge concerning the source code of the Applicable ICE Code. In exchange for completing the knowledge transfer, the Company received an additional cash payment of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Co-Ownership Agreement provides that the Company and AWI have separate exclusive fields of use and restrictive covenants with respect to the Applicable ICE Code and related intellectual property, which survive until either party elects to separate from its relationship with the other and for five years thereafter. The Company concurrently entered into an Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (the “ARMSA”) with AWI, under which AWI had also prepaid certain development services to be provided by DIRTT. The ARMSA will automatically terminate if the Co-Ownership Agreement is terminated or expires, and may also be terminated if either party breaches the exclusive fields of use or restrictive covenants in the Co-Ownership Agreement.
The $11.0 million of proceeds on the sale of the 50% interest in the Applicable ICE code, pursuant to the Co-Ownership Agreement, during 2023. In accordance with GAAP, the proceeds were first applied to the net book value of the related costs of software of $2.9 million and patents (other assets) of $0.9 million. The residual amount of $7.1 million was recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations. Further, $1.8 million was received during 2023 as a prepayment under the ARMSA, which was recognized into revenue during 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Part of the proceeds of this transaction were used to settle one of our equipment leases of $1.6 million and resulted in the release of $0.4 million of restricted cash during 2023 (refer to Note 14).
- GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On February 15, 2024, the Company commenced a substantial issuer bid and tender offer (the “Issuer Bid”) pursuant to which the Company offered to repurchase for cancellation: (i) up to C$6.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding January Debentures (as defined in Note 14) at a purchase price of C$720 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures, and (ii) up to C$9.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding December Debentures (as defined in Note 14), at a purchase price of C$600 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures.
C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) aggregate principal amount of the January Debentures and C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) aggregate principal amount of December Debentures were validly deposited and not withdrawn at the expiration of the Issuer Bid on March 22, 2024, representing approximately 11.66% of the January Debentures and 16.50% of the December Debentures issued and outstanding at that time. The Company took up all the Debentures (as defined in Note 14) tendered pursuant to the Issuer Bid for aggregate consideration of C$7.0 million ($5.2 million) (comprised of C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal and interest of C$0.1 million ($0.1 million)).
On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Repurchase Agreement with 22NW Fund, LP (“22NW”), pursuant to which the Company purchased for cancellation an aggregate of C$18,915,000 principal amount of the January Debentures at a purchase price of C$684.58 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures and C$13,638,000 principal amount of the December Debentures at a purchase price of C$665.64 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures, for an aggregate purchase price of C$22,104,591.45, inclusive of a cash payment for all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date on which such Debentures were purchased by the Company (the “Debenture Repurchase”). The Debenture Repurchase closed on August 2, 2024. The purchase price of each series of Debentures (excluding the cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest) represented a discount of approximately 4% to the average trading price of the applicable series of Debentures on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) for the 20 trading days preceding August 2, 2024. Following the Debenture Repurchase, C$16.6 million ($12.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$15.6 million ($11.2 million) principal amount of the December Debentures remained outstanding and 22NW no longer holds any Debentures.
On August 28, 2024, the Company commenced the Debentures NCIB, which will terminate no later than August 27, 2025. Under the Debentures NCIB, DIRTT is permitted to acquire up to C$1,664,200 principal amount of the January Debentures and C$1,558,700 principal amount of the December Debentures. As at December 31, 2024, C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) and C$0.01 million ($0.01 million) principal amounts of the December Debentures and January Debentures, respectively, were acquired through the Debentures NCIB.
19
In accordance with GAAP, it was determined that the C$29.2 million ($21.4 million) repayment on convertible debt through the Issuer Bid, the Debenture Repurchase, and the Debentures NCIB, triggered an extinguishment of C$43.4 million ($31.8 million) of principal amount of debt. The gain on extinguishment of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, was calculated as the difference between the repayment and the net carrying value of the extinguished principal less unamortized issuance costs of C$1.2 million ($0.9 million) (refer to Note 14).
8. LEASES
The Company leases office and factory space under various operating leases. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company gives consideration to instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rate. The Company's operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 13 years. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate at December 31, 2024, was eight years (2023 - nine years) and 7.1% (2023 - 6.3%), respectively.
The Company entered into a sublease arrangement for part of the Phoenix Facility during the second quarter of 2022, commencing July 1, 2022. The Company entered in to an additional sublease arrangement for the remaining part of the Phoenix Facility during the third quarter of 2024, commencing October 1, 2024. Additionally, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for the Plano DXC to one of our Construction Partners in that region, in which the subtenant has assumed responsibility for all monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other costs as of April 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024. The Plano sublease agreement was extended for an additional four years, through October 31, 2028.

9. TRADE AND ACCRUED RECEIVABLES
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses using the lifetime expected credit loss at each measurement date, taking into account historical credit loss experience as well as forward-looking information in order to establish rates for each class of financial receivable with similar risk characteristics. Adjustments to this estimate are recognized in the statement of operations.
In order to manage and assess our risk, management maintains credit policies that include regular review of credit limits of individual receivables and systematic monitoring of aging of trade receivables and the financial wellbeing of our customers. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At December 31, 2024, approximately 83% of our trade accounts receivable are insured, relating to accounts receivables from counterparties deemed creditworthy by the insurer and excluding accounts receivable from government entities. In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.
Our trade balances are spread over a broad Construction Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. For the year ended December 31, 2024, no single Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue, compared to 2023 in which one Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue.

Revolving Credit Facility
On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), as lender (the "RBC Facility"). Under the RBC Facility, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the "Borrowing Base"). Interest was calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the RBC Facility, if the "Aggregate Excess Availability", (defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash), is less than C$5.0 million, the Company was subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been below 1.10:1 for the three immediately preceding months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company's bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will offset any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.
On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the "Extended RBC Facility"). The Extended RBC Facility has a maximum borrowing base of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") plus 200 basis points plus the Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the amended loan agreement governing the Extended RBC Facility). Under the Extended RBC Facility, if the trailing twelve-month FCCR is not above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to one year's worth of Leasing Facilities payments must be maintained. Effective October 2023, inventory was scoped out of the Borrowing Base.
On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the "Second Extended RBC Facility"). The Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 200 basis points. At December 31, 2024, available borrowings are C$14.4 million ($10.0 million) (December 31, 2023 – C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings), calculated in the same manner as the RBC Facility described above, of which no amounts have been drawn. The Second Extended RBC Facility removed the three-month FCCR covenant, which resulted in the release of $0.1 million of restricted cash during 2024 (the Company had $0.4 million restricted cash as at December 31, 2023). On February 11, 2025, the Company extended the Second Extended RBC Facility for a period of two weeks up to February 25, 2025 whilst the Company and RBC completed negotiations.
On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Extended RBC Facility. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation based on accounts receivable balances to a maximum of C$25.0 million and matures on November 30, 2025. Interest is calculated as the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 50 basis points or at the Term CORRA Rate as adjusted by the Term CORRA Adjustment or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 175 basis points. The Fourth Extended RBC Facility also includes a new letter of credit facility guaranteed by the Export Development of Canada of C$5 million. The Company has also entered into a bonding facility with Great Midwest Insurance Company, and any other company that is part of or added to Skyward, which allows access to a $15 million bonding facility subject to an individual maximum of $5 million. Under the terms of the facility with Skyward, any bonds issued will be secured through Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Fourth Extended RBC Facility.
Leasing Facilities
The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the "Canada Leasing Facility") of which C$4.4 million ($3.1 million) has been drawn and C$3.9 million ($2.7 million) has been repaid, and a $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States of which $13.3 million has been drawn and repaid (the "U.S. Leasing Facility" and, together with the Canada Leasing Facility, the "Leasing Facilities") with RBC. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and bears interest at 4.25%. Refer to Note 5 on the decision to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. As part of this decision, the Company fully settled the $7.8 million principal balance of the U.S. Leasing Facility in the fourth quarter of 2023. The U.S. Leasing Facility is no longer available to be drawn on. With the settlement of this liability, $2.6 million was released from restricted cash.
The Company did not make any draws on the Leasing Facilities during 2024 or 2023. The associated financial liabilities are shown on the consolidated balance sheet in the current portion of long-term debt and accrued interest and long-term debt.
Convertible Debentures
On January 25, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.5 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "January Debentures") with a syndicate of underwriters. On January 29, 2021, the Company issued a further C$5.25 million ($4.1 million) of the January Debentures under the terms of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters. The January Debentures will mature and be repayable on January 31, 2026 (the "January Debentures Maturity Date") and accrue interest at the rate of 6.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of January and July of each year commencing on July 31, 2021 until the January Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. The January Debentures will be convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the January Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the January Debentures. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.7 million, including the underwriters' commission. As a result of the Rights Offering (as defined herein) (refer to Note 16), the conversion price of the January Debentures was adjusted to C$4.03 per common share representing a conversion rate of 248.1390 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount. On March 22, 2024, the Company completed the Issuer Bid in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) of the principal balance of the January Debentures, and paid C$0.04 million ($0.03 million) of the interest payable on such January Debentures (refer to Note 7). On August 2, 2024, the Company completed the Debenture Repurchase and repurchased for cancellation C$18.9 million ($14.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures held by 22NW. On August 26, 2024, the Company announced the Debentures NCIB, which commenced on August 28, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased for cancellation C$0.01 million ($0.01 million) principal amount of January Debentures as part of the Debentures NCIB.

On December 1, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.4 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “December Debentures” and, collectively with the January Debentures, the “Debentures”) with a syndicate of underwriters. The December Debentures will mature and be repayable on December 31, 2026 (the “December Debentures Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December of each year commencing on June 30, 2022 until the December Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. The December Debentures will be convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the December Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the December Debentures. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.3 million, including the underwriters’ commission. As a result of the Rights Offering (refer to Note 16), the conversion price of the December Debentures was adjusted to C$3.64 per common share representing a conversion rate of 274.7253 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount. On March 22, 2024, the Company completed the Issuer Bid in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) of the principal balance of the December Debentures and paid C$0.08 million ($0.06 million) of the interest payable on such December Debentures (refer to Note 7).

The provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, provincial and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. In the United States, the CARES Act of 2020 allows, among other provisions, for the recovery of taxes paid over the preceding five years from current year losses.
The Company’s U.S. subsidiary’s result was taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company utilized prior year operating losses against this income; however, U.S. tax law does not allow for the full offset of losses against current year taxable income to reduce tax payable to zero. This resulted in current tax payable of $0.4 million in 2024 (2023 - $0.3 million).

On an annual basis, the Company and its subsidiary file tax returns in Canada and various foreign jurisdictions. In Canada, the Company’s federal and provincial tax returns for the years 2020 to 2023 remain subject to examination by taxation authorities. In the United States, both the federal and state tax returns filed for the years 2019 to 2023 remain subject to examination by the taxation authorities.

16. RIGHTS OFFERING
On November 21, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to its common shareholders for aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million ($22.4 million).
In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company entered into a standby purchase agreement, dated November 20, 2023 (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) with 22NW and 726 BC LLC and 726 BF LLC (together, “726”), or their permitted assigns (collectively and including WWT Opportunity #1 LLC (“WWT”), to which 726 transferred all of their common shares to on December 1, 2023, the “Standby Purchasers”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement, each Standby Purchaser agreed to exercise its Basic Subscription Privilege (as defined below) in full and to collectively purchase from the Company, at the subscription price, all common shares not subscribed for by holders of Rights (as defined below) under the Basic Subscription Privilege or Additional Subscription Privilege (as defined below), up to a maximum of C$15.0 million each, so that the maximum number of common shares that could be issued in connection with the Rights Offering would be issued and the Company would receive aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million ($22.4 million). As described below, no standby fee was paid to the Standby Purchasers in connection with the Rights Offering; however, DIRTT reimbursed the Standby Purchasers for their reasonable expenses in the amount of $0.03 million each.
On January 9, 2024, the Company announced the completion of the Rights Offering to its common shareholders and the issuance of 85,714,285 common shares at a price of C$0.35 ($0.26) per whole common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$30.0 million ($22.4 million) and aggregate net proceeds of $21.3 million ($1.1 million of costs associated with the Rights Offering). Each right distributed under the Rights Offering (each, a “Right”) entitled eligible holders to subscribe for 0.81790023 common shares, exercisable for whole common shares only, meaning 1.22264301 Rights were required to purchase one common share (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”). In accordance with applicable law, the Rights Offering included an additional subscription privilege (the “Additional Subscription Privilege”) under which eligible holders of Rights who fully exercised the Rights issued to them under their Basic Subscription Privilege, were entitled to subscribe for additional common shares, on a pro rata basis, that were not otherwise subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege.
DIRTT issued an aggregate of 67,379,471 common shares pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and 18,334,814 common shares pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege. As a result of the common shares issued under the Basic Subscription Privilege and Additional Subscription Privilege, no common shares were available for issuance pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement.
17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In May 2020, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”). The 2020 LTIP replaced the predecessor incentive plans, being the Performance Share Unit Plan (“PSU Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”). Following the approval of the 2020 LTIP, no further awards will be made under either the Stock Option Plan or the PSU Plan, but both remain in place to govern the terms of any awards that were granted pursuant to such plans and remain outstanding.
29
In May 2023, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2023 LTIP") at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The 2023 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, deferred share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, and other share-based awards and cash awards to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. In accordance with the 2023 LTIP, the sum of (i) 12,350,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Stock Option Plan that, following May 30, 2023, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, were reserved for issuance under the 2023 LTIP. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold and sell shares as a means of meeting DIRTT's tax withholding requirements in respect of the withholding tax remittances required in respect of award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.
In May 2024, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Second Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2024 LTIP") at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The effective date of the 2024 LTIP is May 9, 2024. The 2024 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, deferred share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, and other share-based awards and cash awards to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. In accordance with the 2024 LTIP, the sum of (i) 27,350,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Stock Option Plan that, following May 22, 2020, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, have been reserved for issuance under the 2024 LTIP. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold and sell shares as a means of meeting DIRTT's tax withholding requirements in respect of the withholding tax remittances required in respect of award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.
Deferred share units ("DSUs") have historically been granted to non-employee directors under the Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (as amended and restated, the "DSU Plan") and settleable only in cash. The 2024 LTIP gives the Company the ability to settle DSUs in either cash or common shares, while consolidating future share-based awards under a single plan. The terms of the DSU Plan are otherwise materially unchanged as incorporated into the 2024 LTIP. Effective May 30, 2023, no new awards will be made under the DSU Plan, but awards previously granted under the DSU Plan will continue to be governed by the DSU Plan. DSUs are settled following cessation of services with the Company.

Restricted share units (time-based vesting)
Except as noted below, outstanding restricted share units (“RSUs”) that vest based on time have an aggregate time-based vesting period of three years and generally one-third of the RSUs vest every year over a three-year period from the date of grant. At the end of a three-year term, the associated RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2024 and 2023 was C$0.68 and C$0.46, respectively, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on their respective grant dates. During 2023, 150,000 RSUs were granted to each of the chief executive officer, president and chief operating officer and chief financial officer which vested in the first and third quarters of 2024.
During the third quarter of 2024, certain of the Company’s executives were issued (i) 5 million RSUs which will cliff vest on August 14, 2026 and (ii) 975,000 RSUs, one-third of which will vest every year over a three-year period from the date of grant, in each case such vesting is generally subject to continued employment. Once vested, the RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted was C$0.75, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.
Restricted share units (performance-based vesting)
During 2022 and 2021, restricted share units were granted to executives with service and performance-based conditions for vesting (the “PRSUs”). If the Company’s share price increases to certain values for 20 consecutive trading days, as outlined below, a percentage of the PRSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period or on their departure, based on terms agreed.
The grant date fair value of the 2022 and 2021 PRSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$1.87 and C$3.27, respectively.
Based on share price performance since the date of grant, 66.7% of the 2021 PRSUs vested on March 1, 2024, but none of the 2022 PRSUs will vest upon completion of the three-year service period.
| % of PRSUs Vesting | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33.3% | 66.7% | 100.0% | 150.0% | ||
| 2021 and 2022 PRSUs | $ | 3.00 | $ 4.00 | $ 5.00 | $ 7.00 |
Share awards
During the first quarter of 2022, certain executives were issued share awards in lieu of cash paid variable incentive compensation (“Share Awards”). These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$2.40 ($1.88), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. In the fourth quarter of 2022, 59,488 Share Awards were issued to employees as a component of their compensation.
In the first quarter of 2023, 36,254 Share Awards were issued to a consultant as compensation for services rendered. During the second quarter of 2023, certain executives were issued Share Awards in lieu of cash paid variable incentive compensation. These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$0.49 ($0.34), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. There were no Share Awards granted or vested during 2024.
Performance share units
During the second quarter of 2023, certain executives were issued a strategic equity grant through performance share units (“PSUs”). The performance period of the PSUs is from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2026, with a cliff vesting term for December 31, 2026. 2,584,161 PSUs were granted and depending on the level of performance, the PSUs will vest 100%, 160% or 190% up to a maximum of 4,909,907 PSUs. Settlement will be made in the form of shares issued from treasury. The performance measures are a combination of Revenue and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and both targets have to be achieved. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of these PSUs have been deemed to be nil based on the likelihood of achieving the targets compared to current results. During the third quarter of 2023, 738,553 PSUs with a $nil value were forfeited as a result of an executive departure and 1,845,608 PSUs with a $nil value are outstanding as at December 31, 2024.
Deferred share units
Granted under the DSU Plan
The fair value of the DSU liability and the corresponding expense is charged to profit or loss at the grant date. Subsequently, at each reporting date between the grant date and settlement date, the fair value of the liability is remeasured with any changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the period. The weighted average fair value of the DSUs granted in 2023 was C$0.63 ($0.47), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. DSUs outstanding at December 31, 2024, had a fair value of $0.7 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (2023 – $0.5 million).
Granted under the 2023 and 2024 LTIP
DSUs granted after May 30, 2023, (the “New DSUs”) will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares (or a combination thereof) to the Directors, at the discretion of the Company. The Company intends to settle these DSUs through issuances of common shares. The weighted average fair value of the New DSUs granted in 2024 and 2023 was C$0.69 ($0.50) and C$0.46 ($0.34), respectively, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. New DSUs outstanding at December 31, 2024, had a fair value of $1.3 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (2023 – $0.6 million).

Dilutive instruments
For the year ended December 31, 2024, 2.3 million RSUs and PRSUs, 2.0 million New DSUs and 45.1 million shares which would have been issued if the principal amount of the Debentures were settled in common shares at the year-end price were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. 1.8 million PSUs and 0.2 million RSUs and PRSUs were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net income per share.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 1.8 million and nil PSUs, 3.6 million and 2.2 million RSUs and PRSUs, 0.2 million and 1.5 million options, 1.8 million and nil New DSUs and 156.8 million and 109.1 million shares would be issued if the principal amount of the Debentures were settled in our common shares at the year-end share price were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net loss per share.

18. SHARE REPURCHASES
On December 18, 2024, the Company announced a normal course issuer bid for common shares (the "Shares NCIB"), which commenced on December 20, 2024, terminates on December 19, 2025 and permits DIRTT to acquire up to 7,515,233 common shares. All purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX at the market price of common shares at the time of acquisition. Any common shares acquired through the Shares NCIB will be immediately cancelled. Under this program, DIRTT acquired and cancelled 58,478 common shares during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes the common shares repurchased and cancelled during the period:
| Period | Total number of shares purchased | Average price paid per share | Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced programs | Maximum number of share that may yet be purchased under the program |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 20, 2024 - December 31, 2024 | 58,478 | $ 0.96 | 58,478 | 7,456,755 |

19. EARNINGS PER SHARE
On November 21, 2023, the Company announced a Rights Offering which allowed holders of common shares, as of the close of business on December 12, 2023, transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 85,714,285 common shares at a subscription price of C$0.35 per common share (refer to Note 16). An adjustment is required on the calculation of net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as retrospectively for the year ended December 31, 2022, to account for the bonus factor that resulted from this event.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Net income per share - diluted includes the effect of 2.3 million RSUs (including PRSUs) and 2.0 million New DSUs would have the potential to dilute basic earnings per share.
20. REVENUE
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by performance obligation and timing of revenue recognition. All revenue comes from contracts with customers. Refer to Note 21 for the disaggregation of revenue by geographic region.
| For the Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Product | 152,856 | 158,405 | 147,448 |
| Transportation | 16,066 | 17,674 | 18,030 |
| License fees from Construction Partners | 738 | 840 | 778 |

| 174,313 | 181,931 | 172,161 |
DIRTT sells its products and services pursuant to fixed-price contracts which generally have a term of one year or less. The transaction price used in determining the amount of revenue to recognize from fixed-price contracts is based upon agreed contractual terms with each customer and is not subject to variability.
| For the Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| At a point in time | 168,922 | 176,079 | 165,478 |
| Over time | 5,391 | 5,852 | 6,683 |
| 174,313 | 181,931 | 172,161 |
Revenue recognized at a point in time represents the majority of the Company's sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains legal title to the product, which is when ownership of the product is transferred to, or services are delivered to, the customer. Revenue recognized over time is limited to installation and ongoing maintenance contracts with customers and is recorded as performance obligations are satisfied over the term of the contract.
Contract Liabilities
| As at December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Customer deposits | 4,028 | 5,290 | 4,458 |
| Deferred revenue | - | - | 408 |
| Contract liabilities | 4,028 | 5,290 | 4,866 |
Contract liabilities primarily relate to deposits received from customers and maintenance revenue from license subscriptions. The balance of contract liabilities was lower as at December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period mainly due to the timing of orders and payments. Contract liabilities as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, totaling $5.3 million and $4.9 million were recognized as revenue during 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Sales by Industry
The Company periodically reviews product revenue by industry vertical market to evaluate trends and the success of industry specific sales initiatives. The nature of products sold to the various industries is consistent and therefore the periodic review is focused on sales performance.

21. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has one reportable and operating segment, and operates in two principal geographic locations, Canada and the United States. Revenue continues to be derived almost exclusively from projects in North America and predominantly from the United States. The Company's revenue from operations from external customers, based on location of operations, and information about its non-current assets, is detailed below.

DIRTT has one reportable segment: solutions. The DIRTT solutions segment derives revenues from customers by providing physical products and digital tools through our ICE software to create interior spaces for our customers across the commercial, healthcare, education and government industries. The solutions segment provides digital tools (access to ICE software) and physical products to create modular interior construction spaces for our customers. The accounting policies of the solutions segment are the same as those described in Note 2 – significant accounting policies.
DIRTT's chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team that includes the president and chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and the chief executive officer. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the solution segment and decides how to allocate resources based on gross profit and net loss that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as consolidated gross profit and net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the solution segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to repay long term debt.
Gross profit and net income (loss) are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to DIRTT's competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management's compensation.
DIRTT derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The technology used in the customer arrangements is based on a single software platform that is deployed to, and implemented by, customers in a similar manner.

22. COMMITMENTS
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding purchase obligations of approximately $4.2 million related to inventory and property, plant and equipment purchases (2023 – $2.8 million). Refer to Note 8 for lease commitments.
23. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is pursuing multiple lawsuits against its former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, their new company Falkbuilt Ltd. ("Falkbuilt"), and other related individual and corporate defendants for violations of fiduciary duties and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in their executive employment agreements, and the misappropriation of DIRTT's confidential and proprietary information in violation of numerous Canadian and U.S. state, and federal laws pertaining to the protection of DIRTT's trade secrets and proprietary information and the prevention of false advertising and deceptive trade practices.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company's litigation against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and their associates was comprised of two main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of King's Bench instituted on May 9, 2019, against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and several other former DIRTT employees alleging breaches of restrictive covenants, fiduciary duties, and duties of loyalty, fidelity and confidentiality, and the misappropriation of DIRTT's confidential information (the "Canadian Non-Compete Case"); and (ii) an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah instituted on December 11, 2019, against Falkbuilt, Smed, and other individual and corporate defendants alleging misappropriation of DIRTT's confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information (the "Utah Misappropriation Case"). Claims previously pending before in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas have been included in the Utah Misappropriation Case.
Falkbuilt also filed a lawsuit against the Company on November 5, 2019, in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta, alleging that DIRTT has misappropriated and misused their alleged proprietary information in furtherance of DIRTT's product development. Falkbuilt seeks monetary relief and an interim, interlocutory and permanent injunction of DIRTT's alleged use of the alleged proprietary information. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and filed an application for summary judgment to dismiss Falkbuilt's claim.
On the first matter, on October 25, 2024, the Honourable Mr. Justice Poelman of the Court of King's Bench of Alberta granted a Court Order directing the Clerk of the Court to schedule an 8-week trial on the first available dates after December 8, 2025, to determine all the issues (including damages and liability). The trial is scheduled to commence February 2, 2026.
In the Utah Misappropriation Case, on April 11, 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit reversed the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah's decision that Utah was an inconvenient forum for DIRTT's claims against Falkbuilt and others for the misappropriation of confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information. The Texas Unfair Competition Case was dismissed in March 2022, without prejudice, in reliance upon the now-reversed decision in the Utah Misappropriation Case, described above. On March 4, 2024, Defendants jointly moved to move the case to Canada again. Notwithstanding all the prior litigation, on March 28, 2024, Falkbuilt moved to stay the Utah case until the Court ruled on the renewed motion to dismiss (the "Second Motion to Dismiss"). On February 5, 2025, the Utah District Court granted the Second Motion to Dismiss for forum non conveniens, without prejudice. The Utah Court, in essence, redirected the determination of those damages from Utah to Canada, being the appropriate forum for the legal dispute. With the Canadian trial commencing less than a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages and losses it suffered in Canada, the United States, and abroad in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta.
No amounts are accrued for the above legal proceedings.
24. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement") with 22NW and Aron English, 22NW's principal and a director of DIRTT, (together, the "22NW Group") who, collectively, beneficially owned approximately $19.5\%$ of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at such time. Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the 22NW Group for the costs incurred by the 22NW Group in connection with the contested director election at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 26, 2022, being approximately $1.6 million (the "Debt").
Pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to repay the Debt by either, or a combination of (i) a payment in cash by the Company to the 22NW Group, and/or (ii) the issuance of equity securities of the Company to the 22NW Group. The liability as at March 31, 2023 was revalued using the closing common share price at March 31, 2023, and a $2.1 million liability and expense was recorded in the financial statements.
In connection with the Debt Settlement Agreement, on March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a share issuance agreement with the 22NW Group, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay the Debt with the issuance to the 22NW Group of 3,899,745 common shares at a deemed price of $0.40 per common share, subject to approval by the Company's shareholders which was obtained at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 30, 2023.
Other related party transactions for the year ended December 31, 2023, relate to the sale of DIRTT products and services to the 22NW Group for $0.3 million. The sale to the 22NW Group was based on price lists in force and terms that are available to all employees. There were no sales to the 22NW Group for the year ended December 31, 2024.
On August 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Repurchase Agreement with 22NW Group to purchase for cancellation of C$18.9 million ($14.0 million) principal amount of the January Debentures and C$13.6 million ($10.1 million) principal amount of the December Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of C$22.1 million ($16.2 million). Interest earned on such Debentures to, but not including, the date of repurchase for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interest is earned on terms applicable to all Debenture holders. As at December 31, 2024, 22NW no longer held any Debentures.
Also on August 2, 2024, DIRTT entered into a support and standstill agreement (the "Support Agreement") with 22NW and WWT, DIRTT's second largest shareholder, which replaced the support and standstill agreement entered into with 22NW on March 22, 2024. Under the Support Agreement, both 22NW and WWT agreed to certain voting and standstill obligations, including voting in favor of the management director nominees at each of DIRTT's next two annual general meetings and voting in favor of the ratification of the Amended and Restated SRP. Additionally, each of 22NW and WWT has the right to designate a director nominee at each of DIRTT's next two annual general meetings, and is subject to certain restrictions with respect to commencing a take-over bid for the Company. The Support Agreement also permits WWT to acquire up to 4,067,235 additional shares through market purchases (representing approximately 2% of the then issued and outstanding shares), which provides WWT with an opportunity to own the same number of shares as 22NW (being 57,447,988 shares, or approximately 29.8% of the issued and outstanding shares as of the date of the Support Agreement). The Support Agreement otherwise prohibits each of 22NW and WWT from acquiring any additional shares. Since the commencement of the Support Agreement, WWT acquired 156,250 shares in the year ended December 31, 2024.
To give effect to the terms of the Support Agreement, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated SRP, effective August 2, 2024, which amended and restated the Company's shareholder rights plan agreement originally adopted by the Board on March 22, 2024 (the "Original SRP"). The Amended and Restated SRP was ratified by shareholders at the special meeting held on September 20, 2024 (the "SRP Meeting"). The Amended and Restated SRP revised the definition of "Exempt Acquisition" in order to permit WWT to acquire additional common shares without triggering the provisions of the Amended and Restated SRP. The Amended and Restated SRP is otherwise consistent with the Original SRP and is substantially similar to the rights plan adopted by the Company in 2021. Like the Original SRP, the Amended and Restated SRP is intended to help ensure that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly and equally in connection with any unsolicited take-over bid or other acquisition of control of the Company (including by way of a "creeping" take-over bid). The Amended and Restated SRP was not adopted in response to any specific proposal to acquire control of the Company, and the Board was not aware of any pending or potential take-over bid for the Company at the time of the adoption.

25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 1, 2025, the President of the United States of America issued executive orders to impose new tariffs on goods being imported into the United States of America from Canada, Mexico and China. If implemented, these new tariffs could adversely impact the Canadian economy, consumer spending, inflation, Canadian dollar valuation and the Company's financial results. Further, on February 10, 2025 the President of the United States of America issued another executive order imposing additional 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from various countries including Canada.
The actual impact of the new tariffs or any retaliatory tariffs is subject to several factors including the effective date, duration of such tariffs, changes in the applied rates, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any countermeasures that the target countries may take and any mitigating actions that may become available. These developments also introduce a degree of uncertainty regarding the potential impact on supply chains, cost structures and market dynamics. The imposition of trade barriers, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, safeguards, and customs restrictions between Canada and the U.S., may increase the cost or reduce the supply of materials and products available to us, increase shipping times, affect our customers' construction needs or budgets, affect the demand for our products or our product mix, or require us to modify our supply chain organization, manufacturing facilities, or other current business practices, any of which could impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company will continue to monitor the evolving trade landscape and its implications on operations and financial performance.
On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with NGEN III, LP ("NGEN"), pursuant to which the Company purchased for cancellation 3,920,844 common shares currently held by NGEN at a purchase price of $0.80 per share (the "Share Repurchase"). Pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the purchase price of $0.80 per share was a 1% discount to the closing price of the common shares on the TSX on January 27, 2025 (converted into U.S. Dollars using the February 13, 2025 closing exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada). Upon completion of the Share Repurchase on February 14, 2025, there were 189,643,903 common shares outstanding, and NGEN no longer held any common shares of the Company. The common shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase counts against DIRTT's annual normal course issuer bid share limit (the "NCIB Annual Limit"). Following completion of the Share Repurchase, the Company's outstanding NCIB Annual Limit is 3,422,494.
