Q1 Revenue $95.1M; Adjusted EBITDA $18.7M; Adjusted EBITDA Margin 19.7%

Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

“Our fiscal 2027 year got off to an exceptional start as we again delivered the best quarterly revenue in Vecima's history and achieved significant year-over-year performance gains," said Sumit Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Vecima. “Our first quarter results included year-over-year consolidated revenue growth of 37.5% and a 72.0% increase in adjusted EBITDA. Importantly, earnings per share climbed sharply to $0.24, exceeding in one quarter the $0.20 we generated in all of fiscal 2026. These results underscore the dramatic increase in demand for Vecima's solutions as wide-scale DAA and IP-enabled commercial video rollouts continue to gain momentum worldwide."

"In our Broadband Access Solutions segment, first quarter sales increased 39% year-over-year, boosted by particularly strong Entra EN9000 sales as we achieved ever-wider penetration with this highly successful platform. Sales of our higher-margin ERM3 Remote-PHY modules under our multi-year DOCSIS RPD agreement with Charter also enjoyed strong growth during the quarter, and Entra Optical continued to benefit from solid uptake from expanding FTTH rollouts."

"In our Content Delivery Solutions segment, which now includes our Terrace Family products, sales grew 32% year-over-year as we commenced volume shipments of our next-generation TerraceIQ platform. This followed the Q1 signing of a major agreement with a Tier 1 North American customer that has selected TerraceIQ for a broad commercial video network modernization spanning thousands of locations. The CDS segment revenues also reflect consistent strength in MediaScale sales as uptake of managed IPTV installations continues to expand."

"In addition to the strong financial results achieved in both the BAS and CDS segments, the first quarter brought continued and significant progress on new platforms. Activity for Entra vCMTS deepened with a growing base of North American and European customers, including increases in deployments, design wins, and engagements globally. We continue to expect Entra vCMTS to become not only an important growth driver for Vecima, but also highly accretive to gross margins due to its software-oriented license model. We also made major strides with multi-gig fiber-access solutions during the period, including XGS-PON and EXS1610 All-PON. Our customers are increasingly bundling cable and fiber access solutions, accelerating adoption of our industry-leading platforms."

“Moving forward, with broad-based demand coalescing across both of our business segments and with multiple product lines ramping through the year, we continue to anticipate fiscal 2027 consolidated revenue growth of 30% to 35%, compared to fiscal 2026. We note that a lead customer has rescheduled certain Entra deliveries originally intended for late Q2, to early Q3. As a result of this shift in delivery timing into calendar 2027, we now anticipate calendar 2026 revenue growth of approximately 20% year-over-year, revised from our prior outlook of 27% to 32%. We anticipate adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 18% in calendar 2026 and 20% in fiscal 2027."

"We reiterate that our outlook for 30% to 35% fiscal 2027 revenue growth contemplates only the very early stages of contribution from newer products like Entra vCMTS, DOCSIS 4.0 RPDs, XGS-PON and other platforms now entering the market. As we move forward, these new solutions are expected to build on our market-leading portfolio of DAA and IPTV solutions, expanding our growth pathways and providing a long runway for strong and sustained growth," said Mr. Kumar.

Trade and Tariffs

While trade actions had a negligible impact on the 90% of Vecima's sales made to the US in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company continues to closely monitor developments in an unpredictable trade environment. Vecima is one of the few competitors in the industry that fully "owns" its manufacturing process. This provides the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing macroeconomic conditions, including the ability to rapidly transition manufacturing to different countries when needed, an agility Vecima has demonstrated in the past.

Trade policy adjustments between the US and Canada introduced in summer 2026 have had minimal impact on Vecima's margins or competitive position, and the Company's forward outlook reflects the present trade landscape.
