(TSX: DTOL) ("D2L" or the "Company"), a leading global learning technology company, today announced financial results for its Fiscal 2026 second quarter ended July 31, 2025. All amounts are in U.S. dollars and all figures are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") unless otherwise indicated. "Our second quarter results demonstrated strong SaaS revenue growth, improved year-over-year profitability, and execution on our innovation agenda," said John Baker, CEO of D2L. "We saw solid performance across our go-to-market teams, driving momentum in the current market environment. We continued to advance our core growth pillars as we work toward market leadership in targeted education sectors and expand our corporate footprint. This quarter, we secured flagship customers across key markets and launched several new products, including transformative AI capabilities that address critical customer needs. These broaden our portfolio and revenue potential, as we build upon the success of our platform strategy to date." Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights Total revenue of $54.8 million, up 11% from the same period in the prior year. Subscription and support revenue was $50.1 million, an increase of 14% over the same period of the prior year. Professional services and other revenue decreased by 10% to $4.6 million, reflecting a continued cautious spending environment in the U.S. market due to current macroeconomic conditions. Annual Recurring Revenue2 ("ARR") as at July 31, 2025 increased by 7% year-over-year, from $198.3 million to $212.6 million. Adjusted Gross Profit1 increased by 15% to $38.7 million (70.6% Adjusted Gross Margin1) from $33.6 million (68.4% Adjusted Gross Margin) in the same period of the prior year. Gross Profit increased by 14% to $38.1 million from $33.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Gross Profit Margin for subscription and support revenue increased to 75.1%, up 220 basis points from 72.9% in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $7.5 million, up from $4.2 million for the comparative period in the prior year. Income for the period was $2.7 million, versus a loss of $0.3 million for the comparative period of the prior year. Cash flows from operating activities was $15.0 million, versus $31.4 million during the same period in the prior year, and Free Cash Flow1 was $14.9 million, compared to Free Cash Flow of $31.2 million in the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year decreases primarily reflect a shift in the timing of annual variable incentive compensation payments, which were made in Q2 Fiscal 2026 compared to Q1 Fiscal 2025. Additionally, certain customer collections that are typically received by the end of July extended into Q3 Fiscal 2026. As a result, the Company expects these timing differences to positively impact Free Cash Flow in Q3. Strong balance sheet at quarter end, with cash and cash equivalents of $102.5 million and no debt. During the quarter ended July 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and canceled 244,600 Subordinate Voting Shares under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million. 1  A non-IFRS financial measure or non-IFRS ratio.  Refer to "Non IFRS Financial Measures" section of this press release.  2 Refer to "Key Performance Indicators" section of this press release.

D2L expanded its corporate customer portfolio, adding the Project Management Institute and CPA Australia. Announced new AI enhancements to D2L Lumi and D2L Brightspace, as well as the launch of D2L Accessibility+ and Createspace at D2L Fusion 2025. Named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies in 2025 for the 13th consecutive year and Canada's Best Companies 2025 by TIME and Statista. Named the Overall LMS Solution Provider of the Year in the LMS Category for the 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Awards. Released its annual Sustainability Report highlighting its commitment to transforming education worldwide and contributing to a sustainable future. Financial Outlook The Company updated its previous financial guidance for the year ended January 31, 2026 as follows:  Subscription and support revenue in the range of $198 million to $200 million, implying growth of 10-11% over Fiscal 2025, and 10-11% growth on a constant currency basis, an increase from previously issued guidance of $194 million to $196 million;  Total revenue in the range of $219 million to $221 million, unchanged from previously issued guidance, implying growth of 7-8% over Fiscal 2025, and 7-8% growth on a constant currency basis; and   Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $32 million to $34 million, unchanged from previously issued guidance, implying an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 15%.  This outlook reflects the Company's continued emphasis on balancing growth and profitability. The anticipated revenue growth rates are informed by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and its impact on our selling activities, inclusive of a general slowness in activity within the U.S. Higher Education market. Total revenue guidance remains unchanged, which reflects the increase in subscription and support revenue, offset by a decrease in the contribution of professional services and other revenue due to the more cautious spending environment, particularly for curriculum advisory services in the U.S. Higher Education market. The updated subscription and support revenue guidance reflects the strong first half of the year performance and the relative strengthening of certain foreign currencies. This movement in foreign exchange has an offsetting increase to reported operating expenses and therefore Adjusted EBITDA guidance has remained unchanged.  The Company presented a Medium Term Target Operating Model that it expects to achieve by Fiscal 2028 in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 (the "Annual MD&A"). This Medium Term Target Operating Model remains unchanged as of July 31, 2025. For additional details on the Company's outlook and Medium Term Target Operating Model, including the principal underlying assumptions and risk factors regarding achievement, refer to the "Financial Outlook" section of the Company's Annual MD&A, as well as the "Forward-Looking Information" section therein and in the Company's MD&A for the three months ended July 31, 2025 (the "Interim MD&A").

Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations, financial performance and liquidity from management's perspective and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of the Company. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to assess our ability to meet our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss), excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or EBITDA), adjusted for stock-based compensation, foreign exchange gains and losses, non-recurring expenses, transaction-related costs, fair value adjustment of acquired deferred revenue, income (loss) from equity accounted investee, change in fair value on the loan receivable from associate, impairment charges and other income and losses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue. For an explanation of management's use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures – Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Non-IFRS Financial Ratios – Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin" section in the Company's Interim MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference herein. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) for the period, and discloses Adjusted EBITDA Margin, for the periods indicated: (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for percentages) Three months ended July 31, Six months ended July 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 $ $ $ $ Income (loss) for the period 2,681 (262) 5,949 310 Stock-based compensation 2,509 2,584 5,722 4,917 Foreign exchange loss (gain) 122 147 (1,414) (84) Non-recurring expenses(1) 423 1,045 894 1,866 Transaction-related costs(2) 948 151 1,388 823 Fair value adjustment of acquired deferred revenue(3) 109 139 334 139 Loss from equity accounted investee — 97 — 97 Change in fair value of loan receivable from associate(4) (212) – (384) – Net interest income (331) (791) (828) (1,714) Income tax (recovery) expense (72) 201 2,523 225 Depreciation and amortization 1,331 902 2,629 1,653 Adjusted EBITDA 7,508 4,213 16,813 8,232 Adjusted EBITDA Margin 13.7 % 8.6 % 15.6 % 8.4 % Notes: (1) These expenses relate to non-recurring activities, such as changes in workforce or technology whereby certain functions were realigned to optimize operations and certain legal fees incurred that are not indicative of continuing operations. (2) These expenses include post-combination compensation costs from the acquisition of H5P, certain legal and professional fees that are incurred in connection with other strategic transactions, and was partially offset by a gain recognized from the reduction in the second anniversary payment owed to the selling shareholders of Connected Shopping Ltd ("Connected Shopping"), a company acquired in Fiscal 2024, which was recorded through Other income. In the prior fiscal year, these expenses included certain legal and professional fees that were incurred in connection with acquisition and other strategic transactions, including the disposal of our majority ownership stake in SkillsWave and our acquisition of H5P. These expenses also include post-combination compensation costs from the acquisition of H5P. These expenses would not have been incurred if not for these transactions and are not considered to be indicative of expenses associated with the Company's continuing operations. (3) At the date of acquisition, the Company recognized a fair value adjustment on the opening deferred revenue balance acquired as part of the H5P acquisition as required under IFRS 3, Business Combinations. This adjustment is not reflective of ordinary operations and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of Fiscal 2026. (4) On a quarterly basis, the Company determines the fair value of the loan advanced to SkillsWave. The adjustments to the fair value of the loan are not reflective of the Company's main business operations and will not impact the Company's future results beyond the maturity date of the loan on June 28, 2029. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as gross profit excluding related stock-based compensation expenses and amortization from acquired intangible assets, specifically acquired technology. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other issuers. These metrics are estimated operating metrics and not projections, nor actual financial results, and are not indicative of current or future performance. Annual Recurring Revenue and Constant Currency Annual Recurring Revenue: We define Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") as the annualized equivalent value of subscription revenue from all existing customer contracts as at the date being measured, exclusive of the implementation period. Our calculation of ARR assumes that customers will renew their contractual commitments as those commitments come up for renewal. We believe ARR provides a reasonable, real-time measure of performance in a subscription-based environment and provides us with visibility for potential growth in our cash flows. We believe that increasing ARR reflects the continued strength of our business and the successful execution of our strategy. Increasing ARR will continue to be our focus on a go-forward basis. We define Constant Currency Annual Recurring Revenue as foreign-currency-denominated ARR translated at the historical exchange rates from the comparable prior period into our U.S. dollar functional currency.
