Planet MicroCap Showcase: Toronto 2026 summary
28 Oct, 2026Business model and market
Integrated operations span content development and production, worldwide distribution, and owned streaming and broadcast platforms.
Most customers are in the U.S., Europe, the U.K. and other international markets; delivery is technology-agnostic across streaming, cable and other channels.
Historical reporting segments through Aug. 31 were Global Channels and Streaming, Production and Distribution, and Canadian Media; segment structure was revised shortly before the presentation.
Global Channels and Streaming includes subscription and ad-supported channels plus smart-TV ad sales; Canadian Media includes seven Canadian TV channels and 10 consumer shows.
Management said video viewing averages three hours per day, with streaming adding new ways to watch rather than replacing TV consumption.
Content strategy and industry outlook
Crew Girl launched on Netflix in September, reached No. 1 on the service, and received a season-two renewal four days after season one began.
Kim's Convenience was licensed to Peacock; the Mike Holmes library is reused on the Homeful channel and relicensed to HGTV.
Focus genres include wildlife and natural history, young adult, kids, animation and unscripted; management favors formats with international appeal and long shelf lives.
AI use is exploratory, focused on routine back-office work and potential post-production efficiencies, while supporting rather than replacing the creative process.
Management said streamers are more often buying selected rights rather than financing and owning worldwide rights; this can preserve more IP and usage rights.
Financial position and performance
Revenue through Q3, ended May, was CAD 276M versus CAD 140M in FY2025; adjusted EBITDA was described as strong.
At Q3, cash was CAD 59.9M, undrawn credit facilities were roughly CAD 74M, and total corporate debt was CAD 10M.
Earnings are traditionally weighted to Q3 and Q4, May through August; management said this year was particularly back-end weighted.
Revenue and earnings posted strong compound growth over 2020–2025, a period that included pandemic-related disruption to consumer shows and production.
