"2025 marked a transformational year for Dr. Phone Fix, highlighted by our successful public listing, strong revenue growth, and continued national expansion," said Piyush Sawhney, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Phone Fix.
"We expanded our footprint to 44 corporately owned stores, entered Atlantic Canada through the Geebo acquisition, and strengthened our capital structure through closing an oversubscribed financing. While reported profitability was impacted by one-time listing and transaction expenses, our underlying operating performance continued to improve, supported by strong same-store sales and disciplined cost management."
Mr. Sawhney continued, "While fourth quarter margins reflected a higher mix of certified pre-owned device sales, this shift is consistent with our strategy to drive higher revenue throughout and expand our market share. Looking ahead, our growth strategy remains focused on a balanced approach of new store openings and targeted acquisitions. With our national platform now established and infrastructure in place, we are focused on leveraging our growing scale, improving unit-level economics, and executing on a disciplined acquisition pipeline in a highly fragmented market."
Q4 2025 Financial Highlights
-- Revenue increased 47% to $3.84 million, compared to $2.60 million in Q4
2024, driven by strong seasonal demand, continued same-store sales growth,
and increased certified pre-owned device sales, supported by higher
volumes from insurance repair programs.
-- Gross profit increased 2% to $1.35 million. Gross margin of 35.1%
reflected a higher mix of certified pre-owned device sales, which carry
lower margins than repair services, as well as increased device volumes
during the quarter.
-- Operating expenses (SG&A) were consistent year-over-year at $2.06 million,
despite operating additional stores, including the integration of Geebo
locations, and increased corporate activity associated with operating as
a public company.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was $(0.10) million, compared to $0.26 million in Q4
2024. The quarter reflected strong revenue momentum, with short term
profitability impacted by strategic capital investments in inventory for
further future growth, new store expansion, and integration initiatives.
These investments are aligned with the Company's growth strategy and are
expected to support improved operating leverage and earnings performance
as they mature.
-- Cash ended at $0.23 million, reflecting continued investment in working
capital and network expansion, including inventory build to support
certified pre-owned device demand, drive higher sales volumes, support
expanding partnerships, and support the opening of new locations
contributing to the current store count.
Full-Year 2025 Financial Highlights
-- Revenue increased 19% to $12.15 million, compared to $10.18 million in
2024, driven primarily by organic same-store sales growth across the
Company's existing store base. Same-store sales growth is calculated by
comparing revenues at locations that have been open for at least 12
months. Contributions from new store openings, acquisitions, and
insurance programs were not material to the period, as these initiatives
were implemented late in the fourth quarter and had limited operating
time to impact results. These initiatives are expected to contribute more
meaningfully in 2026.
-- Gross profit increased 9% to $5.88 million, compared to $5.40 million
last year, with full-year gross margin of 48.3% reflecting increased
contributions from certified pre-owned device sales, which carry lower
margins than repair services, as well as an evolving product mix across
the network.
-- Operating expenses (SG&A) increased 5% to $8.12 million, compared to
$7.77 million in 2024, reflecting continued investment in infrastructure
to support future growth, as well as public company costs. Excluding
share-based compensation and listing-related expenses, operating expenses
remained well controlled, demonstrating operating discipline as the
Company scaled its platform.
-- Adjusted EBITDA increased 219% to $0.60 million, compared to $0.19
million in 2024, driven by higher revenue and gross profit. This
improvement reflects continued progress in the Company's underlying
operating model, despite increased operating expenses associated with
expansion and public company costs.
Q4 2025 Accomplishments
-- Entered Atlantic Canada through the acquisition of Geebo Device Repair, a
six-store chain in Nova Scotia, expanding Dr. Phone Fix's national
footprint. Full details of the acquisition, including purchase price and
consideration, were disclosed in the Company's news release dated
December 1st, 2025.
-- Completed a $2.57 million non-brokered equity private placement in
two tranches, with net proceeds to be used for acquisitions, store
expansion, inventory investment, and general working capital purposes.
Full details of the private placement, including pricing and securities
issued, were disclosed in the Company's news releases dated November 17th,
2025.
-- Signed new store leases in Alberta and Ontario, supporting continued
expansion into high-demand markets.
-- Continued to strengthen insurance and OEM partnerships, supporting
increased certified pre-owned device volumes and procurement efficiencies
across the network.

Companies" for the second consecutive year, underscoring the Company's
sustained revenue growth and market leadership.
-- Reported over 50% year over year same-store sales growth across its
original 35-store platform during the January - February 2026 period,
driven by higher repair volumes, increased store productivity, and early
contributions from insurance repair programs. Same-store sales growth is
calculated by comparing revenues at locations that have been open for at
least 12 months.
-- Announced participation in the Emerging Growth Conference (February 26,
2026), supporting ongoing investor outreach and capital markets
engagement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to analyze the Company's profitability based on the Company's principal business activities regardless of how these activities are financed, assets are depreciated and amortized, and results are taxed in various jurisdictions or subject to entity specific tax planning. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance.
Below is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, listing and transaction expenses, fair value adjustments, government assistance income, and other non-recurring or non-cash items as set out in the reconciliation table above. Adjusted EBITDA is compared to net loss, the closest comparable IFRS measure.
1. Interest expense is added back as it is related to financing decisions
2. Income tax expense (recovery) is added back as it is reflective of
taxation jurisdiction or entity-specific tax planning, not related to
core operational performance.
3. Depreciation and amortization, as they are non-cash charges and not
indicative of operational performance.
4. Share-based compensation, as it is a non-cash expense
5. Extraordinary, unusual or infrequent items (including Listing and
Transaction expenses)
6. Items related to investing decisions, such as gain (loss) on disposal of
assets
7. Items that are not related to core operations and are not indicative of
operational performance, including fair value adjustments, interest
income, impairment losses and government assistance.
