For the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
- On April 25, 2025, the Company executed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Pateno on for the sale of the QRails, Inc. processing technology. The strategic transaction, valued at USD $3,000,000 (subject to purchase adjustments), is expected to reduce XTM’s monthly operating costs by approximately 50%. XTM will retain full ownership and management of its proprietary EWA platform, including key contracts, integrations with payroll, time & attendance, and other critical systems.
- On April 28, 2025, the Company entered into a secured demand loan agreement, effective January 1, 2025 from Pateno, which provides for a revolving credit facility in the principal amount of up to $13,000,000. The credit facility combined with the proceeds of the sale of the processor operations support the trust deficit reported in note 23. A total of 20,000,000 XTM shares will be issued to pay the standby fee of the facility in four instalments of 5,000,000 shares over 9 months.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q1 2025
The Company interprets the sustainability in revenue, active user base, and attainment of GDV milestones as strong indicators of sustained momentum within the hospitality sector, despite economic challenges impacting consumer discretionary spending. The company continues to invest efforts in streamlining the technologies and reducing redundancy.
- Revenue was $2,736K for the quarter increasing $923K or 51% compared to $1,812K in Q1 2024 (see analysis of financial performance below for detail);
- Gross dollar value (“GDV”) loaded on the Company’s platform was $173.5MM for the quarter, an increase of 28% from $136MM in Q1 2023 and was consistent with the quarter ended December 31, 2023;
- Net loss was $3.2MM for the quarter compared to a net loss of $5.3MM for Q1 2024 mainly due to investments in technology and expenses to support Qrails acquisition; the increase of $2.1MM is attributed to higher gross profit and lower operating expenses mainly in staffing (consisting of “Salaries and employee benefits” plus “Consulting”), professional fees and office and general. The Company expects operating expenses to continue to reduce in the coming quarters as it continues to reduce headcount and streamlining operations.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NON-IFRS MEASURES
The key performance indicators ("KPI's") and non-IFRS measures for the Company are gross dollar value load ("GDV"), Current Active Users, and Total Active Users. The Company's success will be measured by its growth in revenue from one reporting period to the next and is directly a result of increased dollar value transacted through its platform. Revenue growth is dependent on the Company continuing to sign on new hospitality locations, increase the percentage of GDV used for POS transactions, and the addition of new products to enhance current programs.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
The following table summarizes information derived from the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as KPI's the Company uses to assess performance, for each of the eight most recently completed quarters:

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
NET LOSS AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Net loss and comprehensive loss for Q1 2025 was $3.2MM compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $5.3MM for Q1 2024. The increase of $2.1MM is attributed to higher gross profit and lower operating expenses mainly in staffing (consisting of "Salaries and employee benefits" plus "Consulting"), professional fees and office and general. The Company expects operating expenses to continue to reduce in the coming quarters as it continues to reduce headcount and streamlining operations.

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT
Gross Dollar Value ("GDV") of $181.6MM for Q1 2025 increased by $8.1MM or 5% from $173.5MM for the prior year quarter. The increase is a result of growth in the number of clients and associated active users added to the AnyDay™ Financial program.
Revenue for Q1 2025 was $2,736K, an increase of $924K or 51% from $1,812K for the prior year quarter. Of the Company's four revenue streams, transaction and program management revenue were the main drivers, increasing by $408K and 381K, respectively. In addition, subscription revenue added $120K as the new fourth revenue stream.
Transaction revenue consisting of interchange fees resulting from point-of-sale transactions ("POS"), out of network ATM withdrawal fees, and electronic transfer fees was $2,006K for Q1 2025, an increase of $408K or 25% from $1,598K for the prior year quarter. The increase is due to the Company generating more GDV per location.
Card issuance revenue consisting of revenue from the purchase and shipping of AnyDay™ Financial debit cards to the clients for use by their employees was $164K for Q1 2025, an increase of $14K or 9% from $150K for the prior year quarter. This is due to a change from how card revenue is being recognized, and the Company is amortizing revenue over the average contractual life of the cards.
Program Management revenue consisting mainly of licensing fees or customization and support fees of the Company's AnyDay™ Financial technology was $445K for Q1 2025, an increase of $381K or 598% from $64K for the prior year quarter.
Subscription revenue consists of revenue from the enrollment of the AnyDay™ Financial program, where clients have the choice between monthly, 1-year, and 3-year terms. The revenue for Q1 2025 was $120K.
Gross profit for Q1 2025 was $533K or 19% of revenue, an increase of $576K from a $43K gross loss, or 2% of revenue for the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit is a result of KOHO revenue earned in Q1 with no associated cost of sales.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses for Q1 2025 were $3,976K, a decrease of $1,196K or 23% from $5,172K for the prior year quarter. The main reasons for the decrease were lower salaries and employee benefits from staff turnover, as well as a decrease in other expenses, as well as a gain on foreign exchange. Operating expenses of the company consist of:
Salaries and employee benefits were $2,039K for Q1 2025 compared to $2,877K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $788K is because of a reduced headcount from streamlining our operations.
Depreciation and amortization were $458K for Q1 2025 compared to $561K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $103k is due to the termination of the office space for QRails, as well as month-to-month rent billing for XTM, as there was no formal lease renewal agreement at the end of the previous lease term.
XTM INC.
Management Discussion and Analysis
For the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Share-based compensation was $344K for Q1 2025 compared to $347K for the prior year quarter, remaining consistent due to the vesting of existing restricted stock units (RSU)'s and stock options.
Office and General was $308K for Q1 2025 compared to $478K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $170K is mainly due to a significant decrease in software licensing fees.
Professional fees were $205K for Q1 2025 compared to $305K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $100K was mostly because of the decrease in audit fees as well as a significant decrease in hiring costs.
Accretion and interest on debentures were $297K and $15K, respectively for Q1 2025 compared to $172K and $26K, respectively for the prior year quarter. The increase of $125K and decrease of $11K, respectively are due to the 2023 CAD debentures being extinguished and the new issuances of the debentures in Q2 2024 and Q4 2024. See note 15 for further disclosures.
Consulting fees were $297K in Q1 2025 compared to $170K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $102K is mainly due to new consultants hired for both XTM and QRails.
Marketing and promotion were $28K for Q1 2025 compared to $77K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $49K is mainly due to decreased spend of $30K on cardholder communications.
Bank charges and interest was $218K for Q1 2025 compared to $58K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $160K is due to the added interest changes on the 2Shores lending facility, used to fund EWA.
Public company and regulatory was $47K for Q1 2025 compared to $25K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $23K is mainly due to a $21K increase in Investor Relations spend pertaining to market analysis.
Travel, meals, and entertainment was $22K for Q1 2024 compared to $21K for the prior year quarter, largely remaining consistent year over year.
Other (income) expense for Q1 2025 was $(322K) compared to $95K for the prior year quarter. The current quarter income is a result of gain on translation in the quarter, as well as a gain on termination of the office lease.
ASSETS
Cash as of March 31, 2025 was $128K compared to $64K on December 31, 2024. The consolidated statement of cash flows details the cash movements during the quarter.
Trade and other receivables as at March 31, 2025 were $805K compared to $584K on December 31, 2024. The increase of $221K is mainly due to $267K owing from KOHO for clients transitioned in March 2025.
Prepaid expenses as at March 31, 2025, were $342K compared to $415K on December 31, 2024. The decrease of $73K is due to a decrease in subscriptions, as well as deposits applied against the services performed.
Receivables – restricted as at March 31, 2025, were $167K compared to $2,396K at December 31, 2024. Majority of this balance relates to the QRails EWA transaction funding receivable.

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Contract assets as at March 31, 2025, were $308K compared to $387K at December 31, 2024. The decrease of $79K is in line with expected contract assets at March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024.
Prepayment option on convertible note as at March 31, 2025, was $3K and remains unchanged from $3K as at December 31, 2024.
Intangible assets as at March 31, 2025, were $5,579K compared to $5,993K at December 31, 2024. The decrease of $414K is due to the amortization of internally developed software in Q1 2025.
LIABILITIES
Trade and other payables as at March 31, 2025, were $12,390K compared to $11,120K at December 31, 2024. The increase of $1,270K was a result of aging payables longer than normal. The Company has payment plans negotiated with key vendors, reducing the need for near-term cash outlay.
Unearned revenue as at March 31, 2025, was $905K compared to $1,148K at December 31, 2024. The decrease of $242K is attributed to the Company recognizing its Card revenue across the life of its customer contracts which can range from 1 to 3 years as well as recognizing $100K relating to a contract at QRails.
Lease liabilities as at March 31, 2025, was $4K, comprised of a current ($4K) and long-term ($Nil) portion compared to $760K at December 31, 2024. The decrease of $756K is primarily due to derecognizing the office lease for QRails upon termination, as well as for XTM where there was no formal lease renewal agreement.
Due to related party as at March 31, 2025, was $147K compared to $219K at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $72K. The decrease is due to partial repayment the amount owing to the CEO.
Loan payable as at March 31, 2025, was $261K compared to $4,982K at December 31, 2024. The decrease of $4,721K is mainly because of the repayments made against the credit facility.
Convertible debentures as at March 31, 2025 were $9,695K compared to $9,688K at December 31, 2024. No new debentures were issued in Q1 and the change is due to FX.
SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Shareholders equity as at March 31, 2025 was a deficit of $32.4MM compared to $29.1MM at December 31, 2024. The increase of $3.3MM is due to an increase in accumulated deficit by $4.0MM associated with the current quarters net loss and comprehensive loss. Partially offsetting this is an increase of $436K in share capital.
RESTRICTED CASH AND CLIENT DEPOSITS
Acting as a paying agent, the Company had $51.2MM in restricted funds on deposit (December 31, 2024 - $65.4MM) and corresponding liabilities for client and cardholder balances as at March 31, 2025, of $67.4MM (December 31, 2024 - $77.0MM). The balance decreased due to the shift of clients to KOHO financial; however, it is anticipated that these will be returned back to XTM by Q3 2025. Restricted cash consists of cash balances held in individual client wallets which are on deposit in custodial accounts controlled by the company for the sole benefit of the client, and cardholder balances resulting from the transfer of funds by the client from their

respective wallet(s) to a card which are on deposit in settlement accounts controlled and subject to restrictions imposed by the card program sponsoring bank.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital of the Company as of March 31, 2025 was a deficit of $28.2MM compared to a deficit of $25.4MM on December 31, 2024. The decrease of $2.8MM is mainly a result of a decrease in restricted cash and restricted receivables of $16.5MM offset by a decrease in program deposits and loan payable of $14.3MM.
