Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2025) - YANGAROO Inc. (TSXV: YOO) ("Yangaroo", "Company"), a software leader in media asset workflow and distribution solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The third quarter financial statements and corresponding management's discussion and analysis (the "Third Quarter Filings") are available at www.yangaroo.com and on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Please note that all currency in this press release is denominated in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Yangaroo is pleased to report its thirteenth consecutive quarter of positive Normalized EBITDA in the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Management believes this reflects the Company's strong focus on strategic execution and disciplined cost management, despite the challenging environment imposed by ongoing geopolitical conditions.
However, despite the Company's continued focus and strategic efforts, total revenue for the quarter declined by $370,508, or approximately 19%, year over year. The Company believes the decline is in part related to the increased tariff-related costs. This cautious spending environment has directly impacted overall performance.
Despite these headwinds, the Company's continued emphasis on operational efficiency and cost control led to a smaller than expected negative impact on operating income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an operating loss of $95,609 and Normalized EBITDA of $152,906, compared to operating income of $348,983 and Normalized EBITDA of $466,458 in Q3 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported an operating loss of $89,860 and Normalized EBITDA of $638,066, versus operating income of $477,056 and Normalized EBITDA of $1,041,857 in the same period of 2024.
Grant Schuetrumpf, CEO of Yangaroo, commented, "Although we are pleased to report our thirteenth consecutive quarter of positive Normalized EBITDA, reflecting the strength of our operations and commitment to exceptional client service, we remain cautious of the macroeconomic market conditions we currently operate within.
In Advertising , volumes softened as brands and agencies reduced discretionary marketing spend amid tariff-related cost pressures and the current economic uncertainty, though the Company maintained strong service levels, added new clients, and expanded its U.S. and Canadian clearance service capabilities.
In Music our radio promotions continue to remain steady, while music-video delivery volumes have declined primarily due to reduced music-video programming with a major TV broadcaster.
In the Awards Show division, revenue reflected the timing of events only. The Company continued to support major U.S. and Canadian Awards Shows and invest in platform improvements designed to improve configurability, shorten onboarding timelines, and expand future opportunities.
Our third quarter results reflect revenues that were modestly lower than our expectations, even as industry wide challenges persisted. While the dynamics in the advertising and music sectors, in part, continue to create near-term headwinds, our disciplined approach and resilient business model position us well to navigate these challenges. We remain focused on executing our growth strategy, expanding our customer base, and investing in our platforms to capture both organic and non-organic opportunities across all divisions."
Q3'2025 Financial Highlights
Revenue in Q3' 2025 was $1,572,017 compared to $1,942,525 and $1,651,441 in the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025, respectively.
Revenue decreased by $370,508, or 19%, versus Q3'2024. This was the result of a decrease in Advertising revenue of $276,245, or 21%, and a decrease in Entertainment revenue of $94,263, or 15%.
Revenue decreased by $79,424 or 5%, versus Q2'2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributed to lower Advertising and Music revenue of $116,942, or 10%, and $27,776, or 11%, offset by higher Awards revenue with an increase of $65,294, or 29%, respectively. The decrease in Advertising revenue can be strongly attributed to the current geopolitical situation, while the decrease in Music revenue was related to lower volumes amongst Music customers. The increase in Awards revenue was due to seasonality, with the third quarter typically representing the strongest period for Awards shows.
Operating expenses in Q3' 2025 were $1,667,626 compared to $1,593,542 and $1,670,218 in the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025, respectively.
Operating expenses increased by $74,084, or 5%, versus Q3'2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher depreciation expenses, along with modest increases in general and administrative and marketing expenses due to higher legal fees and travel costs during the quarter. These increases were partially offset by reductions in headcount, as well as lower technology and production expenses.
Operating expenses decreased by $2,593, or 1%, versus Q2'2025. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributed to the Company's cost control initiatives, which resulted in lower salaries, lower technology expenses, and lower general and marketing expenses.
Normalized EBITDA in Q3' 2025 was $152,906 compared to Normalized EBITDA of $466,458 in Q3'2024 and Normalized EBITDA of $220,909 in Q2'2025.
Normalized EBITDA decreased by $313,552, or 67%, compared to Q3'2024. The decrease was primarily attributed to the overall decrease in revenue.
Normalized EBITDA decreased by $68,003, or 31%, compared to Q2'2025. This decrease was also primarily attributed to the overall decrease in revenue.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The following non-IFRS definitions are used in the press release because management believes that they provide useful information regarding the Company's ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned that the definitions are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be construed to be alternatives to revenues and net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of performance, liquidity, or cash flows. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from the methods used by other entities and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities or in other jurisdictions.
EBITDA as defined by the Company, means Earnings Before Interest and financing costs (net of interest income), Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. EBITDA is derived from the statements of comprehensive income (loss) and can be computed as revenues less salaries and consulting expenses, technology and production expenses, marketing and promotion expenses, general and administrative expenses, remeasurement of contingent consideration, foreign exchange (gain) loss, and any non-recurring items such as restructuring expenses, acquisition fees, acquisitions related settlement gain and revaluation of foreign exchange embedded derivatives.
Normalized EBITDA, as defined by the Company, means EBITDA adjusted for one-time non-recurring or non-cash items such as share-based compensation expenses, acquisition fees, restructuring fees, foreign-exchange (gains) loss, revaluation of FX embedded derivative, remeasurement of contingent consideration and acquisition related settlement gain.
EBITDA Margin and Normalized EBITDA Margin as defined by the Company means EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, respectively, as a percentage of revenue.
Working capital as defined by the Company means current assets less current liabilities.
Liquidity as defined by the Company means cash plus the available capacity in the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company believes EBITDA, EBITDA margin, liquidity, and working capital, are useful measures because they provide information to both management and investors with respect to the operating and financial performance of the Company.
