Zedcor recorded $19,404 of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This compares to $11,476 of revenue from the three months ended March 31, 2025. The revenue growth of 69% year over year was due to:
- the execution of our strategic initiatives for the USA expansion;
- diversification of our customer base and attracting new customers across the USA and Canada; and
- meeting the strong customer demand through the production and deployment of MobileyeZ™ towers.
Quarter over quarter the Company's total revenue was up $1,522 or 9%. Revenue increased quarter over quarter as a result of a larger fleet of security towers, revenue growth in the USA through customer acquisition, and growing revenues from existing customers, offset by lower revenues in Canada.
Adjusted EBITDA was $7,647 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was an increase of $3,538 or 86%. Adjusted EBITDA increased year over year due to higher revenues and operating cost controls, offset by the increase in administrative and sales staff costs due to continued USA growth. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 39% as compared to 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company's security and surveillance services saw increased revenues and EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025 due largely to increased customer demand of its larger fleet of MobileyeZ security towers and expanded USA presence. Utilization rates remain strong throughout Q1 2026 for the company's USA and Canada fleet.
Financial and operational highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2026 include:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the three months ended March 31, 2026
IN THOUSANDS OF CANADIAN DOLLARS
- For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss before tax of ($278), compared to net income before tax of $622 in the prior year. The decrease reflects continued investment in scaling the business in the USA, resulting in higher G&A costs, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and financing expenses.
- On February 3, 2026, the Company expanded its credit facility to $75 million in total committed borrowing with its primary lender. In addition to this non-dilutive capital, the Company announced on February 11, 2026, a bought deal public offering of 5,084,000 common shares at $6.00 per share for gross proceeds of $30.5 million. Together, these financings support the acceleration of its growth strategy in the USA, expansion of its security tower fleet across Canada and the USA, and continued buildout of its service and sales platform in the USA.
- The Company consolidated its Houston head office and manufacturing operations into one larger facility to improve production scalability and streamline corporate functions. The Company also expanded its centralized live monitoring team in Houston to support increased tower deployments across the USA. As expansion continues, the Company remains focused on improving economies of scale, increasing manufacturing efficiency and volume, and reducing operating costs while maintaining high customer service levels.
- Continued expansion into key USA markets, including major California and Florida regions. The Company continues to see strong demand outside Texas, with recently established locations experiencing strong growth.
- Significant customer wins in the logistics/ warehousing and residential home building segments across the USA and Canada. We anticipate demand in this vertical to continue to increase as we expand our footprint in the US. This growth in the company's customer base has decreased the reliance on any one customer.
- On track USA expansion. Zedcor exited Q1 2026 with 1,878 MobileyeZ™ located in the USA which represents a growth of 1,314 units or 233%, expanded the base of operations with the ability to serve customers coast to coast and continued positive business development with both existing and new USA customers.
- The Company continued to expand its manufacturing capabilities, producing 475 Solar MobileyeZ™ Security Towers in three months ended March 31, 2026. This is an average of 43 towers per week despite some weeks being lost due to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities in Houston. Production capacity sits at 45-50 towers per week with the ability to increase this without significant capital expenditures.

Operational Review
Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025
S&S segment revenue is driven by utilization and service of its security tower fleet, service revenue related to security personnel and camera installations, and remote monitoring of fixed site locations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue increased by 69% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in Q1 2026 revenue reflects the Company's expanded fleet of MobileyeZ™ security towers, diversified customer base and growth in the Company's geographical footprint. The fleet grew 108% and maintained high utilization rates throughout Q1 2026. Strong customer demand continues to be driven by:
a. a need for better physical security services;
b. operational cost savings for customers;
c. macro-economic factors such as labour shortages; and
d. increased spending on infrastructure.
These factors allowed Zedcor to expand its fleet of MobileyeZ™, expand its geographical footprint and diversify its customer base across Canada and in the USA.
Security Personnel, Camera Sales and Other Service Revenue
Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $218 compared to $110 for the three month period ended March 31, 2025. These are ancillary services on which the Company is placing less emphasis on to better service the growth of the main service offerings of MobileyeZ™ tower monitoring. Revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the types of projects and amount of fixed installations that can be completed.

Gross Margins
Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025
Security & surveillance service margin decreased by four percentage points for the three months ended March 31, 2026 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in margin was the result of higher depreciation on a larger tower fleet offset by 1) fleet mix consisting of newer towers resulting in lower maintenance costs; 2) realized efficiencies from our AI at the edge camera upgrades which reduced alarms; and 3) reduced data streaming costs also driven by the AI camera upgrades.
Security personnel, camera sales and other services margin percentage will fluctuate depending on sales mix. These are ancillary services on which the Company is placing less emphasis on to better service the growth of the main service offerings of MobileyeZTM tower monitoring.
GEOGRAPHIC REVIEW
The USA and Canada regions operate fleets of security towers equipped with high resolution security cameras and sensors. A central command center provides 24/7 Live, Verified Video Monitoring™ to support the fleet of towers throughout both countries, and remote monitoring for fixed camera installations.

Gross Margin – Canada
Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025
Gross margin was 65% in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to 66% from the period ended March 31, 2025. This decrease in gross margin is due to higher depreciation on a larger tower fleet, offset by cost controls and realized efficiencies from its camera upgrades. Net income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4,249 as compared to $3,725 for the three month period ended March 31, 2025. Investments in artificial intelligence technology resulted in a reduction of monitoring costs, a decrease in false alarms, and a reduction in streaming costs as the cameras were upgraded throughout the fleet.

OUTLOOK
Zedcor continues to execute its long-term strategy of growing its technology enabled security services across North America. Zedcor continues to effectively use a mix of cash flow, equity issuance, and debt to build additional MobileyeZ™ security towers to provide surveillance services to our expanding customer base. The Company has grown its salesforce across Canada in order to obtain contracts for its MobileyeZ™ and continue to expand its service offering to different industries. The Company also continued expanding its service offering throughout the USA. As at March 31, 2026 the USA total fleet was 1,878; This compares to Canada with a fleet of 1,383.
Priorities that the Company intends to focus on for the remainder of 2026 include:
1) Expanding operations in the USA by establishing new service locations and continuing to grow revenue in Canada. Zedcor's innovative products, coupled with the Company's commitment to customer service, are perfectly situated to continue disrupting the traditional security market.
2) With the strong demand that Zedcor is seeing for its security towers, the Company continues to take further control of its supply chain and scale production capacity with the larger manufacturing facility. This will allow us to actively manage demand and, over time, reduce our capital costs.
3) Building new, innovative products based on customer demand. As the Company has obtained customers in different industry verticals, it has seen an increasing number of use cases for its security solutions coupled with Zedcor's 24/7 Live, Verified™ video monitoring. This includes additional AI based technology that is actively monitored as well as a mobile security product with a smaller footprint.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the three months ended March 31, 2026
IN THOUSANDS OF CANADIAN DOLLARS
The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as it has a concentration of customers involved in the construction industry. The Company's accounts receivable represent balances owing, largely, by a number of unrelated companies with no significant exposure to any individual customer. Management believes that the Company's credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the Company's broad customer base. Historically credit losses have not been significant. As at March 31, 2026, no one customer makes up 10% or more of the Company's accounts receivable balance (as at March 31, 2025 – no one customer accounted for more than 10%).

RISKS
For purposes of this MD&A, "AI" refers to software algorithms and machine learning models that process data, identify patterns, classify alarms, and perform tasks that may otherwise require human analysis or intervention. The Company's security towers incorporate AI enabled capabilities including object detection related to humans and cars, motion analysis, behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, and automated alert generation. The Company's AI technology is licensed from third-party providers. The Company is developing governance measures to oversee its AI systems to mitigate risks inherent with the technology, including data handling protocols, and compliance monitoring.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's accounting policies are set out in Note 3 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, the Company has elected a new accounting policy relating to the recognition of equity investments in accordance with IFRS 9, as referenced in Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three-months ended March 31, 2026.
FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATIONS
Zedcor Inc. uses certain measures in this MD&A which do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These measures which are derived from information reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. These measures have been described and presented in this MD&A in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company.
Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per share, adjusted EBIT and adjusted free cash flow are not acceptable alternatives to net income or net income per share, a measurement of liquidity, or comparable measures as determined in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA refers to net income before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and gains and losses on sale of equipment. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before costs associated with severance, gains and losses relating to foreign exchange, loss on sale of equipment, loss on disposal of right of use asset, loss on repayment of note payable and stock based compensation. These measures do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar captioned terms presented by other issuers.
Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of performance as they eliminate non-recurring items and the impact of finance and tax structure variables that exist between entities. "Adjusted EBITDA per share - basic" refers to Adjusted EBITDA divided by the weighted average basic number of shares outstanding during the relevant periods.

Adjusted free cash flow
Adjusted free cash flow is defined by management as net income plus non-cash expenses, plus or minus the net change in non-cash working capital, less maintenance capital. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow reflects the cash generated from the ongoing operation of the business. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure generally used as an indicator of funds available for reinvestment and debt payment. There is no standardized method of determining free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow or maintenance capital prescribed under IFRS and therefore the Company's method of calculating these amounts is unlikely to be comparable to similar terms presented by other issuers.

Forward-looking statements or information are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of assumptions about the future and uncertainties. These assumptions include anticipated manufacturing capacity, that utilization rates will remain strong, and expected fleet numbers, expected utilization rates, customer growth, the Company's continued ability to access sufficient capital including through its credit facility, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, general economic conditions remaining stable, the absence of material adverse changes in foreign exchange rates, the impact of tariffs on the Company's business and customer buying trends, that the Company will be able to realize anticipated operating efficiencies and cost savings from AI-based technology investments, and changes in the regulatory environment and political landscape in each of Canada and the United States of America. Material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include: adverse changes in foreign exchange rates, tariffs or trade restrictions affecting the Company's supply chain or customer demand, inability to access sufficient capital, failure to attract or retain qualified personnel, changes in competitive conditions, adverse regulatory or political developments, and general economic downturns. Although management believes these assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be correct, and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. For this purpose, any statements herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements or information contained in this MD&A are made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new contrary information, future events or any other reason, unless it is required by any applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements or information contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
This MD&A also makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures, which management believes assists in assessing the Company's financial performance. Readers are directed to the section above entitled "Financial Measures Reconciliations" for an explanation of the non-IFRS measures used.
