These unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) on November 12, 2025. 1 Basis of Presentation These unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board) applicable to preparation of interim financial statements under IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited, thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts, three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) accounting policies followed in these unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those of the previous year, except as described below. Recent Developments and Impact on Estimation Uncertainty The timely preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards, requires management of the Corporation to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and judgments have been applied in a manner consistent with prior periods. Economic Conditions Evolving global and Canadian foreign policies, geopolitical events and economic conditions may impact inflation, energy pricing, labour availability, supply chain efficiency, trade policies, tariffs, and/or other items, which may have a direct or indirect impact on the Corporation’s business. The Corporation’s Credit Facility is subject to floating interest rates and, therefore, is subject to fluctuations in interest rates which are beyond the Corporation’s control. Changes in interest rates, both domestically and internationally, could affect the Corporation’s cost of financing its operations and investments. Uncertainty about judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management during the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements related to potential impacts of geopolitical events and changing interest rates on revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected. 2 New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted The Corporation adopted the following accounting standards and amendments that were effective for our interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2025. These changes did not have a material impact on our financial results and are not expected to have a material impact in the future. • Amendments to IAS 21, Lack of Exchangeability, including guid --- ance about the determination of the exchange rate and disclosure when a currency is not exchangeable. 3 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted New standards, interpretations, or amendments that have been issued, or are not yet effective, have not been further described or early adopted, where no material impact is expected on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited, thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts, three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) The IASB has issued the following new standard and amendments to existing standards that will become effective in the future. • Amendments to IFRS 7, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, including disclosure requirements relating to contractual financial assets and liabilities referencing a contingent event. • Amendments to IFRS 9, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, including guidance regarding electronic payments and the timing of derecognition of financial liabilities. • Introduction of IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, specifying new presentation requirements for subtotals and totals within the Statement of Profit or Loss and disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures. The Corporation has not adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective and no material impact is expected on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. The Corporation will continue to assess the impacts, if any, the amendments to existing standards will have on our consolidated financial statements, but we currently do not expect any material impacts from an operational or cash flow perspective; however, there could be material changes to presentation and disclosure.

Interest payments only are due during the term for the revolving portion of the syndicated credit facility. For the term loan portion of the syndicated credit facility, repayments of the principal amount shall be repaid in quarterly installments commencing September 30, 2025, in addition to required --- interest payments. Drawings under the revolving credit facility are available by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, Canadian prime rate loans, SOFR and CORRA pounds based loans, letters of credit or standby letters of guarantee. Drawings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate, plus an applicable margin based on certain financial performance ratios. A general security agreement over all assets, a mortgage against all leasehold interests and real property, insurance policies and an assignment of material agreements have been pledged as collateral. The carrying value of borrowings approximate their fair value as the debt is based on a floating rate and the impact of discounting is not significant. The Corporation has incurred no events of default under the terms of its credit facility agreement. 6 Contingencies and commitments a) Contingencies The Corporation has standby letters of credit issued as part of normal business operations in the amount of $8,507 (December 31, 2024 – $5,022) which will remain outstanding for an indefinite period of time. Grievances for unspecified damages were lodged against the Corporation in relation to labour matters. The Corporation has disclaimed liability and is defending the actions. It is not practical to estimate the potential effect of these grievances but legal advice indicates that it is not probable that a significant liability will arise. b) Commitments and contractual obligations (i) Utility commitments The Corporation was committed to estimated natural gas and electricity commitments for the next five calendar years and thereafter as follows: (ii) Linen purchase commitments At September 30, 2025, the Corporation was committed to linen expenditure obligations in the amount of $7,787 (December 31, 2024 – $8,111) to be incurred within the next year. Remainder of 2025 5,159 $ 2026 12,702 2027 2,122 2028 2,122 2029 1,720 Subsequent 164 23,989 $ Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited, thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts, three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) (iii) Property, plant and equipment commitments At September 30, 2025, the Corporation was committed to capital expenditure obligations in the amount of $2,241 (December 31, 2024 – $4,426) to be incurred within the next year. (iv) Trust funds on deposit The Corporation maintained funds in trust for a customer to facilitate both parties in achieving their shared objectives and these funds were not available for the Corporation’s general operating activities. In Q2 2025, the account for funds held in trust was closed and funds were issued back to the customer. As at September 30, 2025, the Corporation held trust funds on deposit in the amount of $0 (December 31, 2024 – $1,116). 7 Dividends to shareholders During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation declared total dividends to shareholders of $3,897 or $0.300 per share (September 30, 2024 - $3,174 or $0.300 per share). During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation declared total dividends to shareholders of $10,493 or $0.900 per share (September 30, 2024 - $9,520 or $0.900 per share). 8 Net change in non-cash working capital items 1) Accounts payable and other liabilities, include the net change of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and current provision, but exclude the net change in non-cash amounts related to the acquisition of property, plant and --- equipment that have been committed to and accrued (paid) for in 2025 of ($15) and 2024 of $(11). 9 Financial instruments The Corporation’s financial instruments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, dividends payable to shareholders, and long term debt. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, and dividends payable to shareholders, approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Corporation's interest-bearing debt approximates the respective carrying amount due to the floating rate nature of the debt. Credit Risk As per the Corporation’s existing policy for accounts receivable as disclosed in the Corporation's annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Corporation applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. 2025 2024 2025 2024 Accounts receivable (7,364) $ 4,926 $ (11,077) $ (231) $ Linen in service (1,769) (45) (4,864) (1,728) Prepaid expenses and deposits 1,089 718 (459) 1,667 Accounts payable and other liabilities (1) 2,607 (2,446) 7,558 444 Income taxes payable / receivable 1,337 (2,550) (22) (2,450) (4,100) $ 603 $ (8,864) $ (2,298) $ Nine Months Ended September 30, Three Months Ended September 30, Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited, thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts, three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, and with an expected loss rate applied. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information based on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. On that basis, the loss allowance as at September 30, 2025 was reviewed by management and adjusted for accordingly based off adjusted historical loss rates, in addition to considering the impact of rising interest rates and the incremental risk to the hospitality industry. Given the current economic environment, management has taken extra steps to mitigate the additional credit risk with a detailed review of amounts that are not current. This includes detailed assessments of the recoverability of accounts receivable balances of each customer taking into account historic collection trends, the contractual relationship with the customer and the nature of the customer. 10 Segmented information The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Corporation’s chief operating decision-maker. The Chief Executive Officer examines the Corporation’s performance and allocation of resources both from geographic perspective and service type, and has identified two reportable segments of its business: 1. Canadian division - provides laundry and linen services to the healthcare and hospitality sectors through eleven operating divisions located in Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Toronto, Montréal, and Québec City. Management has assessed that the services offered and the economic characteristics associated with these divisions are similar, and therefore they have been aggregated into one reporta --- ble segment which operates exclusively in Canada. 2. UK division - provides laundry and linen services to the healthcare and hospitality sectors, with other sectors including healthcare, manufacturing and pharmaceutical, through 14 sites which are located in Cupar, Perth, Newcastle, Livingston, Coatbridge, Lillyhall, Dumfries, Bermondsey, Derby, Dunstable, Sheffield, Slough (2), and St. Helens. The aggregation assessment requires significant judgment by management. Economic indicators used by management to assess the economic characteristics are the gross margin and the growth rate of each division. The CEO primarily uses a measure of EBITDA to assess the performance of the operating segments. In addition, the CEO also receives information about the segments’ revenue and assets on a monthly basis. a) Segment revenue The Corporation disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geographic location and customer-type for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length and are eliminated on consolidation. The revenue from external parties is measured in the same manner as in the consolidated statements of earnings & comprehensive income. In Edmonton and Calgary, the Corporation is the significant supplier of laundry and linen services to the entity which manages all major healthcare facilities in the region and is contractually committed to July 31, 2032. In Vancouver a major customer is contractually committed to March 1, Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited, thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts, three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) 2027, and in Saskatchewan the major customer is contractually committed to June 1, 2031. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from these major customers the Corporation has recorded revenue of $110,612 (2024 – $106,261), representing 30.7% (2024 – 38.2%) of total revenue. b) Segment net earnings and EBITDA Segment net earnings and EBITDA are calculated consistent with the presentation in the financial statements. The net earnings and EBITDA is allocated based on the operations of the segment, and where the earnings and costs are generated from. Healthcare 148,213 $ 41.0% 140,040 $ 50.2% Hospitality 60,473 16.8% 56,939 20.5% Canadian division 208,686 $ 57.8% 196,979 $ 70.7% Healthcare 42,682 $ 12.0% 4,801 $ 1.8% Hospitality 108,623 30.2% 76,383 $ 27.5% UK division 151,305 $ 42.2% 81,184 $ 29.3% Total segment revenue 359,991 $ 100.0% 278,163 $ 100.0% Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Canadian division UK division Total Net earnings 7,568 $ 7,532 $ 15,100 $ EBITDA 40,707 $ 25,113 $ 65,820 $ Canadian division UK division Total Net earnings 7,113 $ 7,357 $ 14,470 $ EBITDA 35,247 $ 15,774 $ 51,021 $ Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited, thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts, three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) The Canadian division net earnings includes non-cash employee share based compensation expense of $1,900 (2024 - $1,497). c) Segment assets Segment assets are measured in the same way as in the financial statements.

On June 11, 2025, the Corporation announced that it completed the previously announced acquisition of Stellar Mayan, a leading commercial laundry business in England serving the healthcare and hospitality markets. The Acquisition is highly complementary to K-Bro's existing UK businesses, Fishers and Shortridge, and creates a national footprint in the UK's commercial laundry and textile rental sector. The Corporation partially financed the Stellar Mayan Acquisition through the issuance of 2,334,500 common shares (initially issued as subscription receipts) at a price of $34.55 per common share (initially issued as subscription receipts). The remainder of the Acquisition was funded by the Corporation's new $134,300 four-year amortizing term loan. Based on the Corporation’s evaluation of the Stellar Mayan Acquisition and the criteria in the identification of a business combination established in IFRS 3, the Stellar Mayan Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby the purchase consideration is allocated to the fair values of the net assets acquired. At the time the financial statements were authorized for issue, and due to the timing of the Acquisition, the Corporation has not yet completed the accounting for the Stellar Mayan Acquisition. This includes the accounting for the amounts attributable to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and the associated goodwill. The preliminary purchase price allocated to the net assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values, is as follows: 1) This is presented net of cash acquired. Cash acquired was $5,156.
