CARBON DONE RIGHT DEVELOPMENTS INC. ANNOUNCES DELAY IN FILING OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND APPLICATION FOR MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER
VANCOUVER, BC, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carbon Done Right Developments Inc. ("Carbon Done Right" or the "Company") (TSXV: KLX) (FSE: Q1C), a leading provider of high-quality carbon credits sourced exclusively from afforestation and reforestation projects developed and owned by the Company, announces that it will not meet the filing date for filing of the following continuous disclosure documents (collectively, the ' Documents '): the Company's Annual Audited Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025, as required by Section 4.2 of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations (' NI 51-102 '); the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis for the year ended March 31, 2025, as required by Section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102; and certificates of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company relating to such audited annual financial statements as required by National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings. The Company anticipates a delay in the filing of the Documents due to its recent change of auditor and the need to address certain transitional matters arising from that change. These matters have temporarily affected the coordination and progress of the audit process. The Company is actively working to resolve the outstanding issues and is allocating internal resources to support the completion of the audit. The Company remains committed to finalizing the Documents as soon as practicable and ensuring continued compliance with its disclosure obligations. The Company expects to file the Documents by September 30, 2025. Accordingly, the Company has applied to the British Columbia Securities Commission for a Management Cease Trade Order (' MCTO ') that will prohibit the management of the Company from trading in the securities of the Company until such time as the Documents are filed. There is no guarantee that a MCTO will be granted. If the MCTO is granted, the MCTO will prohibit the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and possibly the directors, other officers and other insiders of the Company from trading in securities of the Company for so long as the Documents are not filed. The issuance of such cease trade order does not generally affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers or other insiders of the Company to trade in the Company's securities. No decision has yet been made by the British Columbia Securities Commission on this application. The British Columbia Securities Commission may grant the application and issue the Management Cease Trade Order or it may impose an issuer cease trade order if the Documents are not filed in a timely fashion. During the period of default and until filing of the Documents, the Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as required by National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders. Until the Company has filed the Documents, members of the Company's management and other insiders are subject to an insider trading black-out policy as per its internal Insider Trading Policy that is consistent with the principles in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

Cogeco Communications Announces Q3 2025 Financial Results and Canadian Wireless Launch Français
Continued strength in Canadian Internet customer growth. Canadian wireless launch underway, with a first cohort of users already on the service and expansion into 12 Canadian markets over the coming weeks. Updated fiscal 2025 financial guidelines reflect lower revenue, stable adjusted EBITDA, lower net capital expenditures and higher free cash flow compared to previously issued financial guidelines. MONTRÉAL, July 15, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Cogeco Communications Inc. (TSX: CCA) ("Cogeco Communications" or the "Corporation") announced its financial results for the third quarter ended May 31, 2025. "Our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were notable for our strong Canadian Internet subscriber loading, efficiencies-driven margin expansion and significant free cash flow," stated Frédéric Perron, President and CEO. "We are deeply excited to ramp up our wireless customer base in Canada over the coming weeks, adding to our prior launch of a similar service in the U.S. last year. Wireless will become a powerful tool to retain and grow our North American wireline customer base over time. "We already have a first cohort using the wireless service and are progressively expanding to cover 12 Canadian markets (Alma, Magog, Rimouski, Saint-Georges, Saint-Hyacinthe, Saint-Sauveur and Trois-Rivières in Québec, and Brockville, Chatham, Cobourg, Cornwall and Welland in Ontario) over the coming weeks, in anticipation of a full geographic deployment in the fall season. "We continued to solidly grow our Canadian Internet customer base for yet another quarter. While we experienced higher-than-usual customer losses in the U.S., this was partially caused by a few temporary factors. We are implementing several go-to-market enhancements as part of our transformation, and are confident that our U.S. customer trends will improve as these initiatives are executed over the coming quarters." Consolidated financial highlights Operating results For the third quarter of fiscal 2025 ended on May 31, 2025: Revenue decreased by 2.7% to $730.7 million. On a constant currency basis (2), revenue decreased by 4.1%, mainly explained as follows: American telecommunications' revenue decreased by 3.5%, or 6.6% in constant currency, mainly due to a decline in our subscriber base, especially for entry-level services, and to a higher proportion of customers subscribing to Internet-only services. Canadian telecommunications' revenue decreased by 1.8%, mainly due to a lower revenue per customer as a result of a decline in video and wireline phone service subscribers as an increasing proportion of customers subscribe to Internet-only services, as well as a competitive pricing environment, partly offset by the cumulative effect of high-speed Internet service additions over the past year. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 0.9% to $362.4 million. On a constant currency basis, adjusted EBITDA decreased by 2.4% mainly due to lower revenue in both the American and Canadian telecommunications segments, offset in part by lower operating expenses driven by cost reduction initiatives and operating efficiencies across the Corporation as a result of our ongoing three-year transformation program. American telecommunications' adjusted EBITDA decreased by 0.5%, or 3.7% in constant currency. Canadian telecommunications' adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1.5%, or 1.3% in constant currency. Profit for the period amounted to $73.3 million, of which $69.9 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, was attributable to owners of the Corporation compared to $76.3 million, $70.4 million, and $1.67 per diluted share, respectively, in the comparable period of fiscal 2024. The decreases in profit for the period and profit attributable to owners of the Corporation resulted mainly from higher depreciation and amortization expense, financial expense and income tax expense, as well as lower adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by lower acquisition, integration, restructuring and other costs. Adjusted profit attributable to owners of the Corporation (3) was $77.2 million, or $1.82 per diluted share (3), compared to $103.6 million, or $2.45 per diluted share, last year. Net capital expenditures were $125.5 million, a decrease of 25.5% compared to $168.4 million in the same period of the prior year. In constant currency, net capital expenditures (2) were $123.3 million, a decrease of 26.8% compared to last year, mainly due to operational efficiencies, lower spending in the Canadian telecommunications segment, partially due to the timing of certain initiatives, as well as lower spending in the American telecommunications segment, mostly due to lower construction activity. Net capital expenditures in connection with network expansion projects were $13.3 million ($13.2 million in constant currency) compared to $24.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Excluding network expansion projects, net capital expenditures were $112.2 million, a decrease of 22.1% compared to $144.0 million in the same period of the prior year. In constant currency, net capital expenditures, excluding network expansion projects (2) were $110.1 million, a decrease of 23.5% compared to last year. Fibre-to-the-home network expansion projects continued, mostly in Canada, with the addition of close to 9,500 homes passed during the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Capital intensity was 17.2% compared to 22.4% last year. Excluding network expansion projects, capital intensity was 15.4% compared to 19.2% in the same period of the prior year. Acquisition of property, plant and equipment decreased by 26.4% to $125.9 million, mainly resulting from lower spending. Free cash flow (1) increased by 63.2%, or 61.5% in constant currency, and amounted to $143.9 million, or $142.4 million in constant currency (2), mainly due to lower net capital expenditures and acquisition, integration, restructuring and other costs, offset in part by higher financial expense, lower adjusted EBITDA and higher current income taxes. Free cash flow, excluding network expansion projects (1) increased by 39.6%, or 38.2% in constant currency, and amounted to $157.2 million, or $155.6 million in constant currency. Cash flows from operating activities increased by 20.1% to $400.8 million, mostly due to higher cash from other non-cash operating activities, and lower income taxes paid, partly offset by higher interest paid. At its July 15, 2025 meeting, the Board of Directors of Cogeco Communications declared a quarterly eligible dividend of $0.922 per share, an increase of 8.0% compared to $0.854 per share in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2024. FISCAL 2025 REVISED FINANCIAL GUIDELINES Cogeco Communications has revised its fiscal 2025 financial guidelines as issued on October 31, 2024 for revenue, net capital expenditures, capital intensity and free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA projections remain the same as previously disclosed. The Corporation expects additional pressure on its revenue, particularly in the United States, driven by increased competition. As part of its three-year transformation program, the Corporation has initiated several cost reduction initiatives and operating efficiencies across the organization in order to minimize the revenue impact on adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, net capital expenditures are expected to be lower than under the previous financial guidelines, partially resulting from operational efficiencies following the combination of the Canadian and U.S. management teams. Consequently, compared to fiscal 2024, on a constant currency and consolidated basis, we are lowering Cogeco Communications' revenue projections for fiscal 2025 to a low single digit decline, while adjusted EBITDA is expected to remain stable. In addition, due to some better-than-anticipated transformation-related cost savings and lower expected net capital expenditures, we are increasing the Corporation's free cash flow financial guidelines, from a decrease compared to fiscal 2024 to a stable free cash flow, while reducing net capital expenditures and capital intensity projections. (1) Percentage of changes compared to fiscal 2024. (2) Fiscal 2025 financial guidelines are based on a USD/CDN constant exchange rate of 1.3606 USD/CDN. (3) The assumed current income tax effective rate is approximately 11.5% (14% under the previous financial guidelines). These financial guidelines, including the various assumptions underlying them, contain forward-looking statements concerning the business outlook for Cogeco Communications, and should be read in conjunction with the "Forward-looking statements" section of this press release.

Proceeds from sale and leaseback and other disposals of property, plant and equipment amounted to $2.2 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2025, respectively ($0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the same periods of fiscal 2024). Comparative figures were restated to conform to the current presentation. For further details, please refer to the "Non-IFRS Accounting Standards and other financial measures" section of this press release. (2) Key performance indicators presented on a constant currency basis are obtained by translating financial results from the current periods denominated in US dollars at the foreign exchange rates of the comparable periods of the prior year.

Adjusted profit attributable to owners of the Corporation, free cash flow, free cash flow, excluding network expansion projects and net capital expenditures, excluding network expansion projects are non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures. Change in constant currency, capital intensity, excluding network expansion projects and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-IFRS Accounting Standards ratios. These indicated terms do not have standardized definitions prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. For more information on these financial measures, please consult the "Non-IFRS Accounting Standards and other financial measures" section of this press release. (4) For the three and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2025, acquisition, integration, restructuring and other costs were mainly related to costs associated with the configuration and customization related to cloud computing and other arrangements, and additional restructuring costs incurred in connection with certain cost optimization initiatives undertaken. In addition, for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2025, acquisition, integration, restructuring and other costs were partly offset by a $13.8 million non-cash gain recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction of a building in Ontario. For the three and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024, acquisition, integration, restructuring and other costs were mostly related to restructuring costs recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 in connection with the strategic transformation announced in May 2024.
