Completed the Stellar Mayan acquisition, expanding the UK footprint and diversifying revenue streams geographically and by business mix.
Early contributions from Stellar Mayan expanded the business, now split evenly between Canada and the U.K.
Healthcare revenue now represents 53% of consolidated revenues, up from 47% in 2024, driven by the acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 45.9% to CAD 33.5 million; adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 21.5% from 22%.

Wages and benefits rose to CAD 60.6 million, 38.9% of revenue, mainly due to Stellar Mayan's cost structure.

Integration of Stellar Mayan expected to take 12–18 months, with run-rate cost synergies anticipated over 24 months.
Combined adjusted EBITDA margins expected to remain at seasonally adjusted historical levels; U.K. margins will be lower due to Stellar's profile.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
