erim condensed consolidated financial statements. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2025 (all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share information) YELLOW PAGES LIMITED THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2025 6 1. Description Yellow Pages Limited, through its subsidiaries, offers local and national businesses access to digital and print media and marketing solutions to reach consumers in all the provinces and territories of Canada. References herein to Yellow Pages Limited (or the “Company”) represent the financial position, financial performance, cash flows and disclosures of Yellow Pages Limited and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Yellow Pages Limited’s registered head office is located at 1751 Rue Richardson, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H3K 1G6 and the common shares of Yellow Pages Limited are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “Y”. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 on November 12, 2025 for publication on November 13, 2025. 2. Basis of presentation and material accounting policies 2.1 Statement of compliance These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with IFRS® Accounting Standards and are the same as those applied by Yellow Pages Limited in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 2.2 Accounting Standards that are issued but not yet effective and not yet applied on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements New standard IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements On April 9, 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued its new standard IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements that will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard aims at improving how entities communicate in their financial statements by setting new requirements to: • Improve comparability, through a specified structure of the statement of profit and loss that is more comparable between entities; • Enhance disclosure of the management-defined performance measures to improve transparency and make them subject to audit; and • Render the grouping of information more useful and relevant through enhanced guidance on how to organize information in financial statements including note disclosures. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The standard is applied retrospectively, with specific transition provisions, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its current financial statement presentation. 3. Revenues The Company reviews revenues by similar products and services, such as Print and Digital. Print revenues are recognized at a point in time, whereas 99% of digital revenues were recognized ov

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2025 (all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share information) YELLOW PAGES LIMITED THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2025 7 The following table presents revenue information by similar products and services: For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Digital $ 39,997 $ 42,648 $ 121,656 $ 130,095 Print 8,345 9,971 29,176 33,333 Total revenues $ 48,342 $ 52,619 $ 150,832 $ 163,428 4. Restructuring and Other Charges Yellow Pages Limited recorded restructuring and other charges of $1.0 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, consisting mainly of $1.0 million of employee related costs associated with workforce reductions. Yellow Pages Limited recorded restructuring and other charges of $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2024 consisting mainly of $0.5 million of other charges. The other charges relate to onerous contracts linked to decommissioned servers resulting from our migration to cloud-based services. Yellow Pages Limited recorded restructuring and other charges of $3.6 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, consisting of $2.6 million of employee related costs associated with workforce reductions, a $0.1 million charge related to future lease costs for vacated office space and $0.9 million of other charges. Yellow Pages Limited recorded restructuring and other charges of $1.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 consisting mainly of restructuring charges of $0.6 million associated with workforce reductions, a $0.4 million charge related to future lease costs for vacated office space and other charges of $0.1 million. 5. Financial charges, net The significant components of the financial charges, net are as follows: For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Interest on lease obligations, net of interest income on investment in subleases $ 185 $ 248 $ 605 $ 774 Net interest on the defined benefit obligations 482 369 1,192 1,107 Interest income on cash balances (401) (399) (1,198) (1,076) Other, net 140 52 780 59 Financial charges, net $ 406 $ 270 $ 1,379 $ 864 6. Financial risk management Fair value hierarchy The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1 – inputs are unadjusted quoted prices of identical instruments in active markets. • Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 – inputs used in a valuation technique are not based on observable market data in determining fair values of the instruments. Determination of fair value and the resulting hierarchy requires the use of observable market data whenever available. The classification of a financial instrument in the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Cash, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables and certain provisions are not measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, as their carrying amount is a reasonable approxima

tion of fair value due to their short-term maturity. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2025 (all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share information) YELLOW PAGES LIMITED THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2025 8 Asset-Based Loan On August 27, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiary Yellow Pages Digital & Media Solutions Limited, extended the term of its asset-based loan (ABL) to September 2028. The agreement was also amended to reduce the total commitment from $20.0 million to $15.0 million and furthermore, the total commitment will be reduced by $2.5 million annually starting September 2026. The ABL is being used for general corporate purposes. Through the ABL, the Company has access to the funds in the form of prime rate loans or letters of credit. The ABL is subject to a trailing twelve-month fixed charge coverage ratio when there is an event of default or when excess availability is less than 10% of the facility limit. Upon such event, the fixed charged coverage ratio must be a minimum of 1.1 times. As at September 30, 2025, the Company had $0.6 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding, resulting in an availability of $14.4 million remaining under the ABL. As at September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the loan agreement governing the ABL. 7. Trade and other receivables As at September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Current $ 24,443 $ 26,826 Past due less than 180 days 3,801 5,123 Past due over 180 days 1,903 1,553 Trade receivables1 $ 30,147 $ 33,502 Other receivables $ 127 $ 175 Trade and other receivables $ 30,274 $ 33,677 1 Trade receivables are presented net of allowance for revenue adjustments (“AFRA”) and expected credit loss allowance (“ECL”) of $7.5 million as at September 30, 2025 ($7.4 million as at December 31, 2024). The following table provides information about contract assets, which are included in trade and other receivables. The contract assets, which are included in trade and other receivables, consist of payments for print products on delivered directories that are not yet due from the customer and represent the Company’s right to consideration for the services rendered. Any amount previously recognized as a contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables once it is invoiced to the customer. The change in contract assets for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 is primarily related to the fluctuation in print revenue. The revenues related to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied at the reporting date) are expected to be recognized over the next twelve (12) months. The contract liabilities consist of deferred revenues which primarily relate to the advanced consideration received from customers for which revenue is recognized over time. As at September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Contract assets $ 14,564 $ 14,797 Allowance for revenue adjustments and ECL (282) (297) Contract assets net of allowance for revenue adjustments and ECL $ 14,282 $ 14,500 Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2025 (all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share information) YELLOW PAGES LIMITED THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2025 9 8. Post-employment benefits Yellow Pages Limited recorded an actuarial gain of $0.7 million in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes of $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2025. The gain of

$0.9 million resulted from higher-than-expected actual return on plans assets. Yellow Pages Limited recorded an actuarial loss of $1.7 million in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes of 0.6 million during the third quarter of 2024. A loss of $15.3 million due to the decreases in the discount rate from 5.0% to 4.9% was partially offset by a gain of $13.0 million resulting from higher-than-expected actual return on plan assets. Yellow Pages Limited recorded an actuarial loss of $6.3 million in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes of $2.2 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. A loss of $18.1 million due to lower-than-expected actual return on plans assets and increase in inflation rate from 1.8% to 1.9% was partially offset by a gain of $9.6 million due to the increase in the discount rate from 4.6% to 4.8%. Yellow Pages Limited recorded an actuarial gain of $6.6 million in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes of $2.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. A gain of $9.0 million resulted from higher-than-expected actual return on plan assets. Settlement loss on annuity purchase On May 30, 2025, Yellow Pages Limited completed the purchase of group annuity contracts for $209.9 million from a Canadian insurer. The defined benefit pension plan obligations for the group that are settled via the annuity purchase are $205.9 million. Under the agreement, the Canadian insurer will issue annuities covering the responsibility for pension benefits owed to approximately 860 Yellow Pages pensioners and beneficiaries. The insurer began administering all pension benefits covered by the group annuity in October 2025. Following the transaction, pension benefits for these annuitants are protected under Assuris, the life insurance compensation association designated under the Insurance Companies Act of Canada. For accounting purposes, this buy-out transaction essentially eliminates further legal or constructive obligation for pension benefits covered by the group annuity, and a settlement occurred. As a result of this transaction, a non-cash settlement loss of $4.0 million was recognized during the second quarter of 2025. 9. Shareholders’ capital Common shares - Issued The total number of common shares of Yellow Pages Limited held by the trustee for the purpose of funding the restricted share unit and performance share unit plan (the “RSU and PSU Plan”) amounted to 190,001 as at September 30, 2025 (see Note 10 Stock-based compensation plans for additional details). Under the Stock Option Plan, the maximum number of common shares authorized for issuance upon the exercise of options is 2,806,932 (see Note 10 Stock-based compensation plans for additional details). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, 5,890 common shares were issued upon the exercise of options. Dividends On February 13th, 2024, the Board modified its dividend policy of paying a quarterly cash dividend to its common shareholders by increasing the dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.25 per share. YP’s dividend payout policy and the declaration of dividends on any of the Company’s outstanding common shares are subject to the discretion of the Board and, consequently, there can be no guarantee that the dividend payout policy will be maintained or that dividends will be declared. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.25 per common share on March

17, June 16, and September 15, 2025 for a total consideration of $10.2 million to common shareholders.

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the diluted income per share calculation did not take into consideration the potential dilutive effect of stock options that are not in the money and therefore not dilutive. 10.

Restricted Share Unit and Performance Share Unit Plan On April 18, 2023, a modification to the RSU and PSU Plan, adding a cash alternative at the Participant’s option to the settlement of all unvested RSUs and PSUs outstanding as of such date and all grants subsequent to such date, resulting in an obligation to settle in cash. A reclass from equity to liability was recorded at the modification date, based on the fair value of the unvested RSUs outstanding as of such date. The variation due to change in fair value subsequent to the modification date is included in operating costs. The total number of common shares of Yellow Pages Limited held by the trustee for the purpose of funding the RSU and PSU Plan amounted to 190,001 as at September 30, 2025. There were no PSUs outstanding as at September 30, 2025 and 2024.
