Financial Reports
Article content
Full details of the financial and operating results are described in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 with accompanying notes. The consolidated financial statements and additional information about POSaBIT are available on the Company's website at www.posabit.com/investor-relations or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Article content
Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit (and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures used by management that do not have any prescribed meaning by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines Adjusted Revenue as gross revenue, minus license support revenue, plus actual licensing cash received as part of POSaBIT's licensing deals. The Company defines Adjusted Gross Profit as Adjusted Revenue less company cost of goods sold, and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin as a percentage of Adjusted Gross Profit as compared to Adjusted Revenue. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss generated for the period as reported, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted in accordance with the reconciliation table set out in this press release. The Company believes these non-IFRS measures are useful metrics to evaluate its core operating performance and uses these measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. We caution readers that Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit (and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin) and Adjusted EBITDA are not substitutes for gross revenue, gross profit or profit/loss, respectively.

Lamar Advertising Stock Gains 18.4% in 3 Months: Will the Trend Last?
Lamar Advertising LAMR shares have risen 18.4% in the past three months compared with its industry 's growth of 10.1%. The company's impressive footprint of outdoor advertising assets across the United States and Canada positions it well to ride the growth curve. An unmatched logo signs business and a diversified tenant base across various sectors assure stable revenues. Moreover, efforts to expand the digital platform through acquisitions and technological advancements in the low-cost, out-of-home (OOH) advertising platform bode well for long-term growth. Analysts seem optimistic about this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 FFO per share has moved northward by 1.2% over the past two months to $8.29. Factors Behind LAMR Stock Price Rise: Will This Continue? Lamar is one of the largest owners and operators of outdoor advertising structures in the United States. It enjoys an impressive national footprint and holds a leading position as a provider of logo signs in the United States. It enjoys a diversified tenant base, comprising tenants from the services, health care, restaurants, retailers, automotive, insurance and gaming categories. Lamar also sources a significant part of its revenues from local businesses with a diversified base of tenants. This generally leads to less volatility in revenues. OOH advertising has been growing at a rapid pace and continues to increase its market share compared to other forms of media. In the upcoming years, higher technology investments are expected to provide further support to OOH advertising. Therefore, the company's expansion activities over the recent years bode well for long-term growth. In the first quarter of 2025, Lamar completed 10 acquisitions worth $22.1 million. With such expansion efforts, it is poised to ride the growth curve. Moreover, the company's increased focus on bolstering its digital capabilities augurs well for long-term growth. LAMR has added a large number of digital screens through acquisitions and internal conversions over the past several years. It offers customers the largest network of digital billboards in the United States, with around 5,100 displays as of the end of the first quarter of 2025. Solid dividend payouts remain the biggest attraction for REIT investors, and Lamar has been committed to the same. In the last five years, the company has raised its dividend eight times. Its five-year annualized dividend growth rate is 24.17%, which is encouraging. Such efforts raise investors' optimism about the stock. Moreover, the company's share repurchases also demonstrate its commitment to driving shareholder value. Lamar has repurchased common stock for an aggregate value of $150 million year to date. On May 15, 2025, the company's board of directors approved an additional amount of $150 million, bringing the total amount remaining to be repurchased to $250 million under the program. Such efforts raise investors' confidence and optimism in the stock. Key Risks for Lamar Advertising A slowdown in national ad spend and competition from other outdoor advertisers and other forms of media are major concerns for Lamar. The high debt burden acts as a deterrent for the company. Stocks to Consider Some better-ranked stocks from the broader REIT sector are VICI Properties VICI and W.P. Carey WPC, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Carey's 2025 FFO per share stands at $4.88, up 3.8% year over year.

P.E.I. bringing back free ‘TechNTalk' info sessions for seniors
P.E.I. Minister of Social Development and Seniors Barb Ramsay (middle) is pictured with TechNTalk session coordinator Sydney Wheatley and Audrey Morris. (Source: Government of Prince Edward Island) The Prince Edward Island government is bringing back free information sessions this summer for older adults looking to learn more about technology. TechNTalk, which launched last year, returns to communities across the island starting next week. Adults aged 55 years and over will receive a short presentation about technology during each session and then some one-on-one help. A mix of staff from the Department of Social Development and Seniors, and younger volunteers with strong technological skills, will host them. The seniors will get tips on everyday technology like cellphones, tablets, and laptops, as well as tips on using social media and the internet. The department says the sessions support its goal of helping seniors build digital confidence and independence. 'From paying the bills, to communicating with loved ones, to keeping track of what's happening in the community, it is vital that older adults are confident in their use of technology to fully participate in society. These sessions aim to give older adults the fundamental skills needed to communicate effectively in today's digital world, while helping to reduce social isolation,' said Minister Barb Ramsay in a news release. While the sessions are free the province strongly recommends people register in advance. More information and a list of dates can be found online.

The Future of Healthcare is Preventive – And Powered by AI
"'Artificial intelligence gives us the power to see what the human eye alone cannot—and to act before the cost of inaction becomes irreversible. This is not about replacing clinicians; it's about unlocking a future where early diagnosis is the norm, not the exception. If we can shift the diagnostic window forward by days or even hours, we can rewrite the trajectory of patient care.'" Executive leaders look to scalable, imaging-driven diagnostics to accelerate early intervention and reduce system strain As health systems navigate rising patient demand, aging populations, and unsustainable care costs, executive focus is shifting from reactive treatment to preventive intelligence. At the center of this shift is artificial intelligence—specifically, platforms designed to detect diseases before symptoms emerge. One of the most promising applications is in diagnostic imaging, where AI can now analyze radiological data in real time, uncover subtle signs of disease, and support clinical decisions long before traditional workflows would trigger escalation. Hugo Raposo, a Canadian digital health strategist and former Chief Architect of a provincial modernization initiative, is among the thought leaders spearheading this evolution. 'We can't afford a future where detection starts only after symptoms appear,' Raposo said. 'AI makes it possible to reorient our entire clinical model around early warning—moving us from system overload to system foresight.' Executive Pressure: Why Preventive Diagnostics is a Strategic Imperative In both Canada and the United States, wait times for imaging continue to rise, specialist access remains uneven, and late-stage diagnoses are driving up costs. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, non-urgent MRI waits in some provinces now exceed 90 days. What's emerging is a new class of AI platforms designed not just for efficiency, but for proactive risk detection across imaging modalities—from chest X-rays to brain MRIs and retinal scans. These tools serve as always-on, pattern-seeking copilots that help: Executives are now exploring how such tools can become core to digital health strategy, not just clinical augmentation. Hugo Raposo's Vision: Scalable, Ethical AI for System-Wide Preventive Impact Raposo's platform—currently deployed across hospital and community clinics in Ontario—focuses on turning diagnostic imaging into a predictive capability. It is built to integrate with existing PACS/EHR environments and works both in urban health networks and bandwidth-limited rural regions. Key attributes include: Importantly, Raposo frames this not as an IT solution, but as a strategic enabler of access, quality, and sustainability. 'The ROI is no longer just about efficiency. It's about reducing emergency interventions, preventing chronic progression, and giving leadership the levers to shift from volume to value,' he said. More on Hugo Raposo From Boardroom to Bedside: Aligning with National and Global Priorities Global policymakers are already signaling the importance of diagnostic AI. The U.S. HHS AI Strategy, CMS value-based care models, and WHO's AI ethics guidance all emphasize the need to deploy AI responsibly across care ecosystems. Raposo's work aligns directly with these goals: For CIOs and health CEOs, this represents a new decision point: not whether to adopt AI—but how to align it with enterprise risk, public health readiness, and long-term clinical quality. What's Ahead: Predictive Imaging as a Platform Strategy Beyond static interpretation, Raposo is working to integrate imaging data with lab results, pathology, and even ambient documentation. The goal: to create a multimodal, longitudinal diagnostic layer that can inform triage, treatment planning, and population health simultaneously. Upcoming capabilities include: 'Imaging isn't just diagnostic—it's becoming foundational infrastructure for predictive care,' Raposo emphasized. 'In five years, AI won't be a feature—it will be a precondition for delivering safe, timely, and cost-effective healthcare.' LinkedIn:
