Kinaxis Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

SaaS guidance raised as SaaS revenue grows 17% (constant currency1 14%) Adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 25%, record levels for profit, EPS and Adjusted EBITDA1 Record Q2 for new business won as ARR2 grows 15% (constant currency1 13%) Early innovator customers using new generative and agentic AI capabilities Company Website: https://www.kinaxis.com/en OTTAWA, Ontario -- (Business Wire) Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain orchestration, reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. All amounts are in U.S. dollars. All figures are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) unless otherwise indicated. “This was our strongest second quarter ever for new business, and was equally balanced between new customer wins and expansion orders. As a result of this strong performance, including record profitability, we achieved our fourth consecutive Rule of 40 quarter and are increasing SaaS growth guidance for 2025,” said Bob Courteau, interim chief executive officer at Kinaxis. “We now have early innovator customers using our new generative and agentic AI capabilities, which will help enable more autonomous supply chains that boost productivity, democratize access to data and generate better business outcomes. We couldn’t be more excited about how AI will transform both Kinaxis' opportunity and the amount of value we offer customers.” Q2 2025 Highlights $ USD thousands, except as otherwise indicated Q2 2025 Q2 2024 Change Total Revenue 136,415 118,278 15% (constant currency1) 133,193   13% SaaS 88,437 75,395 17% (constant currency1) 86,323   14% Subscription term licenses 5,057 1,368 270% Professional services 37,394 36,495 2% Maintenance and support 5,527 5,020 10% Gross profit 87,531 70,186 25% Margin 64% 59%   Profit 18,439 3,434 437% Per diluted share $0.64 $0.12   Adjusted EBITDA1 33,730 21,930 54% Margin 25% 19%   Cash from operating activities 22,566 13,140 72 %   (1) “Adjusted EBITDA” and constant currency metrics are non-IFRS measures that are not a recognized, defined or standardized measure under IFRS. These measures as well as any other non-IFRS financial measures reported by Kinaxis are defined in the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of this news release. Key Performance Indicators The company’s Annual Recurring Revenue2 (ARR), which includes subscription amounts related to both SaaS and on-premise contracts, rose to $391 million at the end of the quarter, or 15% growth as-reported and 13% in constant currency1. $USD millions Q2 2025 Q2 2024 Change Annual recurring revenue2 391 339 15 %   (2) Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the total annualized value of recurring subscription amounts (ultimately recognized as SaaS, Subscription term licenses and Maintenance and support revenue) of all subscription contracts at a point in time. Annualized subscription amounts are determined solely by reference to the underlying contracts, normalizing for the varying revenue recognition treatments under IFRS 15 for cloud-based versus on-premise subscription amounts. It excludes one-time fees, such as for non-recurring professional services, and assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, unless such renewal is known to be unlikely. We believe that this measure provides a more current indication of our performance in the growth of our subscription business than other metrics. The nature of the company’s long-term contracts provides visibility into future, contracted revenue. The following table presents revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at June 30, 2025.   $USD millions   2025   2026   2027 and later   Total SaaS 172.9 280.5 339.9 793.3 Maintenance and support 10.8 14.4 15.3 40.5 Subscription term licenses — 0.1 — 0.1 Total 183.7 295.0 355.2 833.9 Financial Guidance Kinaxis is updating its fiscal 2025 financial guidance, as follows.   FY 2025 Guidance Total revenue $535-550 million Constant currency1 $535-550 million   SaaS 13-15% growth Constant currency1 13-15% growth   Subscription term license $16-18 million   Adjusted EBITDA1 margin 23-25%     “I am pleased with our performance in the first half of the year. Strong momentum in winning new business has improved our outlook for full-year SaaS revenue, the primary driver of our business. Our gross margin and key profitability metrics continued to be strong in the second quarter and included record levels for adjusted EBITDA1, profit and earnings per share. Our trailing-twelve-month free cash flow margin remains on a great trajectory and our mid-term financial aspirations are all intact,” said Blaine Fitzgerald, chief financial officer at Kinaxis. Guidance in this press release is provided to enhance visibility into Kinaxis’ expectations for financial targets for the periods indicated.

Non-IFRS Measures This press release makes reference to Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-IFRS financial measures, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin which expresses Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized, defined or standardized measures under IFRS. We use these measures to provide investors with supplemental information on our operating performance and to highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Providing these non-IFRS measures provides useful information because they portray the financial results of the Company before certain expenses that do not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by management. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements, and to determine components of employee compensation. Adjusted Profit represents profit adjusted to exclude the changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, our equity compensation plans, special charges, and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA represents profit adjusted to exclude the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, our equity compensation plans, special charges, non-recurring items, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange loss (gain) and net finance (income) expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin expresses Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Our definitions of Adjusted Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin will likely differ from those used by other companies (including our peers) and therefore comparability may be limited. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered a substitute for or in isolation from measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on non-IFRS measures and view them in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. Kinaxis has reconciled Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable IFRS financial measure as follows:     Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,     2025     2024     2025     2024     (In thousands of USD)   (In thousands of USD) Profit   18,439       3,434     34,352       9,621   Share-based compensation   10,374       7,702     19,721       16,424   Non-recurring item(1)   —       5,546     —       7,298   Adjusted profit   28,813       16,682     54,073       33,343   Income tax expense   3,757       2,082     9,497       4,691   Depreciation and amortization   4,982       6,268     10,405       12,673   Foreign exchange gain   (1,099 )     (40 )   (2,013 )     (166 ) Net finance income   (2,723 )     (3,062 )   (5,089 )     (5,931 )     4,917       5,248     12,800       11,267   Adjusted EBITDA   33,730       21,930     66,873       44,610   Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue   25%     19%   25%     19%   Note: (1) Costs associated with the restructuring initiative We also present certain IFRS measures, SaaS revenue and total revenue, and non-IFRS supplementary measures, ARR, under constant currency. We believe that presenting these measures under constant currency provides a useful framework for assessing estimates of how our business would have performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. The presentation of financial results under constant currency is considered to be a non-IFRS measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies (including our peers). For SaaS revenue and total revenue under constant currency, results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period. For constant currency ARR, we convert all non-USD-denominated recurring subscription amounts at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates in effect at the end of the current period. The outlook for constant currency SaaS revenue growth rate is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates expected during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of the above results and metrics, and applicable related growth rates, adjusted for constant currency facilitates the corresponding year‑over‑year comparisons. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this release constitute forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook include statements as to our expectations for: growth of annual total revenue, annual SaaS and Subscription term licenses revenue, and our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA margin achievement, in each case looking forward for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; SaaS growth and increased profitability in years beyond 2025; and contracted revenue in future periods, including 2025, 2026 and 2027 and later. This release also includes forward-looking statements as to Kinaxis’ growth opportunities and the potential benefits of, and markets and demand for, Kinaxis’ products and services. These statements are subject to certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including our view of the relative position of Kinaxis’ products and services compared to competitive offerings in the industry. In particular, our guidance for 2025 annual total revenue, annual SaaS and Subscription term license revenue and annual Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as our comments on our expectations for SaaS growth and increased profitability in years beyond 2025, are subject to certain assumptions and associated risks including: our ability to win business from new customers and expand business from existing customers; the timing of new customer wins and expansion decisions by our existing customers; maintaining our customer retention levels, and specifically, that customers will renew contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, at rates consistent with our historic experience; anticipated trends, standards and challenges in our business and the markets we operate in; fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar; and with respect to Adjusted EBITDA and profitability, our ability to contain expense levels while expanding our business. Our guidance and commentary for achievement of contracted revenue in future periods, including in 2025, 2026 and 2027 and later, is based on assumptions and associated risks including: our ability to satisfy material unperformed obligations under our long-term contracts; and the continued financial capacity and creditworthiness of our customers under long-term contracts. These and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties may cause Kinaxis’ actual results, performance, achievements and developments to differ materially from the results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information or financial outlook. Material risks and uncertainties relating to our business are described under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risks and Uncertainties” in our annual MD&A dated February 26, 2025, and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Information Form dated February 26, 2025, which are available at www.sedarplus.ca. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise or inaccurate and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on such information. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information or financial outlook. Forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook are provided to help readers understand management’s expectations as at the date of this release and may not be suitable for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Kinaxis assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information or financial outlook whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by law.
