OVERVIEW

Our mission is to provide simple useful services that help people unlock the power of the Internet.

We accomplish this by reducing the complexity of our customers’ experience as they access the Internet (at home or on the go) and while using Internet services such as domain name registration, email and other Internet related services. We are organized into three operating and reporting segments - Ting, Wavelo, and Tucows Domains. Each segment is differentiated primarily by their services, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate. The Ting segment contains the operating results of our retail high speed Internet access operations, including its wholly owned subsidiaries - Cedar and Simply Bits. The Wavelo segment includes our platform and professional services offerings, as well as the billing solutions to Internet services providers ("ISPs"). Tucows Domains includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, as well as value added services derived through our OpenSRS, ENom, Ascio, EPAG and Hover brands.

 Our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is also our chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews the operating results of Ting, Wavelo and Tucows Domains as three distinct segments in order to make key operating decisions as well as evaluate segment performance. Certain revenues and expenses disclosed under the Corporate category are excluded from segment adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("Segment Adjusted EBITDA") results as they are centrally managed and not monitored by or reported to our CEO by segment, including mobile retail services, eliminations of intercompany transactions, portions of Finance and Human Resources that are centrally managed, Legal and Corporate Information Technology ("IT") shared services.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, we reported net revenue of $96.7 million and $94.6 million, respectively.  

Ting 

Ting and its wholly owned subsidiaries - Cedar and Simply Bits, includes the provision of high-speed Internet access services to select towns throughout the United States, with operations focused on serving existing markets. Our primary sales channel is through the Ting website. The primary focus of this segment is to provide reliable Gigabit Fiber and Fixed Internet services to consumer and business customers. Revenues from Ting Internet are all generated in the U.S. and are billed on a monthly basis and have no fixed contract terms, aside from certain bespoke contracts with business customers.

As of March 31, 2026, Ting Internet had access to 126,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 123,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 57,000 active subscribers under its management; compared to having access to 133,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 54,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 52,000 active subscribers under its management as of March 31, 2025. These figures exclude any changes in serviceable addresses and accounts attributable to Simply Bits.

Wavelo 

Wavelo includes the provision of full-service platforms and professional services providing a variety of solutions that support Communication Services providers ("CSPs"), including subscription and billing management, network orchestration and provisioning, and individual developer tools. Wavelo's focus is to provide accessible telecom software to CSPs globally, minimizing network and technical barriers and improving Internet access worldwide. Wavelo's suite of flexible, cloud-based software simplifies the management of mobile and Internet network access, enabling CSPs to better utilize their existing infrastructure, focus on customer experience and scale their businesses faster. Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s Mobile Network Operating System ("MONOS") software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform, and Ting integrating Wavelo’s Internet Service Operating System ("ISOS") and Subscriber Management ("SM") software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. The Wavelo segment also includes the Platypus brand and platform, our legacy billing solution for ISPs. The revenues from Wavelo's MONOS, ISOS, SM and professional services are all generated in the U.S. and our customer agreements have set contract lengths with the underlying CSP. Similarly, Wavelo's revenues from Platypus are largely generated in the U.S., with a small portion earned in Canada and other countries.

Tucows Domains

Tucows Domains includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, as well as value added services derived through our OpenSRS, ENom, Ascio, EPAG and Hover brands. Tucows Domains generates revenues primarily from the registration fees charged to resellers in connection with new, renewed and transferred domain name registrations. In addition, we earn revenues from the sale

Our CEO, who is also our chief operating decision maker, reviews the operating results of Ting, Wavelo and Tucows Domains as three distinct segments in order to make key decisions and evaluate segment performance. Certain revenues and expenses disclosed under the Corporate category are excluded from segment results as they are centrally managed and not monitored by or reported to our CEO by segment. The exclusions include: retail mobile services, the 10-year payment stream on transferred legacy Mobile subscribers, eliminations of intercompany transactions, portions of Finance and Human Resources, Legal and Corporate IT shared services. 

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we reported revenue of $390 million, $362 million and $339 million, respectively.

Ting

Ting and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cedar and Simply Bits, includes the provision of high-speed Internet access services to select towns throughout the United States, with operations focused on serving existing markets. Our primary sales channel is through the Ting website. The primary focus of this segment is to provide reliable Gigabit Fiber and Fixed Wireless Internet services to consumer and business customers. Revenues from Ting Internet are all generated in the U.S. and are billed on a monthly basis. Generally, Ting internet services have no fixed contract terms, aside from certain non-standard bespoke with business customers.

As of December 31, 2025, Ting Internet had access to 126,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 109,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 54,000 active accounts under its management; compared to having access to 134,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 45,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 51,000 active accounts under its management as of December 31, 2024. These figures exclude any changes in serviceable addresses and accounts attributable to the Simply Bits acquisition

On February 7, 2024 Ting committed to a workforce reduction (the "February 2024 Workforce Reduction"), as defined in "Note 21. Restructuring Costs" to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which aimed to realign the Company's operational structure within the Ting operating segment and reduce Ting's workforce by 13%, or 7% of the Company’s total workforce, to better support strategic objectives. The February 2024 Workforce Reduction was designed to streamline operations and reduce operating expenses within the Ting operating segment. Substantially all of the employees impacted by the workforce reduction were notified on February 7, 2024 and have since exited the Company. The Company incurred non-recurring charges of approximately $3.2 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, in connection with the workforce reduction, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice pay, employee benefits contributions, and outplacement costs.

On October 30, 2024, Ting undertook the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, as defined in "Note 21. Restructuring Costs" to the Consolidated Financial Statements, to reflect the ongoing operational and financial prioritization of the Ting business and to lower the Company's year-over-year operating expenses and capital outlays, which impacted approximately 42% of Ting's workforce, or 17% of the Company's total workforce. The Company incurred non-recurring charges of approximately $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 in connection with the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice pay, employee benefits contributions, and outplacement costs. 

The February 2024 Workforce Reduction and 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan realized personnel and related expense (net of capitalization) savings with the majority of the savings in sales and marketing, including related network support functions, followed by smaller impacts in technical operations and development, direct cost of revenues, network, general and administrative, and other costs. In Fiscal 2024, the realized savings were partially offset by costs associated with both plans. These costs referenced above are classified as transitional and were excluded in our Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measure. Please see discussion of Adjusted EBITDA as well as the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income in the Results of Operations section below. The 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan has also translated into reduced capital expenditures related to growth and expansion of new markets, as Ting shifted to focus on completing builds in existing markets.

26

The Company announced on November 6, 2025 that it commenced a process to review strategic alternatives for the Ting business, to address its ongoing liquidity requirements. The process is ongoing and the outcome and timing of this process are uncertain and may materially affect future revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures. If the strategic process does not result in a successful transaction, or if it is delayed or abandoned, Ting would be required to implement significant operational changes to preserve liquidity and continue as a going concern, which could include more substantial reductions in operating expenses, changes in market expansion plans, asset sales, or other restructuring actions. As a result, Ting’s future revenue growth, cost structure and overall financial performance may differ materially from current results and expectations.

Wavelo 

Wavelo includes the provision of full-service platforms and professional services providing a variety of solutions that support CSPs, including subscription and billing management, network orchestration and provisioning, and individual developer tools. Wavelo's focus is to provide accessible telecom software to CSPs globally, minimizing network and technical barriers and improving internet access worldwide. Wavelo's suite of flexible, cloud-based software simplifies the management of mobile and internet network access, enabling CSPs to better utilize their existing infrastructure, focus on customer experience and scale their businesses faster. Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s MONOS software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform and Ting integrating Wavelo’s ISOS and SM software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. The Wavelo segment also includes the Platypus brand and platform, our legacy billing solution for ISPs. The revenues from Wavelo's platforms and professional services are all generated in the U.S. and our customer agreements have set contract lengths with the underlying CSP. Similarly, Wavelo's revenues from Platypus are largely generated in the U.S., with a small portion earned in Canada and other countries.

Tucows Domains

Tucows Domains includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, as well as value-added services derived through our OpenSRS, Enom, Ascio, EPAG and Hover brands. Tucows Domains generates revenues primarily from the registration fees charged to resellers in connection with new, renewed and transferred domain name registrations. In addition, we earn revenues from the sale of retail domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. Tucows Domains revenues are attributed to the country in which the contract originates, which is primarily in Canada and the U.S for OpenSRS and Enom brands whereas it is primarily in European nations for Ascio and EPAG.

Our primary distribution channel is a global network of more than 32,000 resellers that operate in approximately 200 countries and who typically provide their customers, the end-users of Internet-based services, with solutions for establishing and maintaining an online presence. Our primary focus is serving the needs of this network of resellers by providing the broadest portfolio of gTLD and country code top-level domain options and related services, a white-label platform that facilitates the provisioning and management of domain names, a powerful Application Program Interface, easy-to-use interfaces, comprehensive management and reporting tools, and proactive and attentive customer service. Our services are integral to the solutions that our resellers deliver to their customers. We provide “second tier” support to our resellers by email, chat and phone in the event resellers experience issues or problems with our services. In addition, our Network Operating Center proactively monitors all services and network infrastructure to address deficiencies before customer services are impacted.

We believe that the underlying platforms for our services are among the most mature, reliable and functional reseller-oriented provisioning and management platforms in our industry, and we continue to refine, evolve and improve these services for both resellers and end-users. Our business model is characterized primarily by non-refundable, up-front payments, which lead to recurring revenue from renewals and positive operating cash flow.

Wholesale, primarily branded as OpenSRS, Enom, EPAG and Ascio, derives revenue from its domain name registration service. Together the OpenSRS, Enom, EPAG and Ascio Domain Services manage 21.5 million domain names under the Tucows, Enom, EPAG and Ascio ICANN registrar accreditations and for other registrars under their own accreditations. Domains under management have decreased by 3.0 million, or 12%, since December 31, 2024.

Value-Added Services include hosted email which provides email delivery and webmail access to millions of mailboxes, Internet security services, WHOIS privacy other value-added services. All of these services are made available to end-users through a network of web hosts, ISPs, and other resellers around the world. In addition, we also derive revenue by monetizing domain names which are near the end of their lifecycle through expiry auction sale.

27

Retail, primarily Hover, derives revenues from the sale of domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. Our retail domain services also include our Personal Names Service – based on over 34,000 surname domains – that allows roughly two-thirds of Americans to purchase an email address based on their last name. The retail segment now includes the sale of the rights to its portfolio of surname domains used in connection with our RealNames email service and our Exact Hosting Service, that provides Linux hosting services for individual and small business websites.

KEY BUSINESS METRICS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We regularly review a number of business metrics, including the following key metrics and non-GAAP financial measure, to assist us in evaluating our business, measure the performance of our business model, identify trends impacting our business, determine resource allocations, formulate financial projections and make strategic business decisions. The following tables set forth the key business metrics which we believe are the primary indicators of our performance for the periods presented:

OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND RISKS

Our revenue is primarily realized in U.S. dollars and a major portion of our operating expenses are paid in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations. In particular, we may be adversely affected by a significant weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar on a quarterly and an annual basis. Our policy with respect to foreign currency exposure is to manage our financial exposure to certain foreign exchange fluctuations with the objective of neutralizing some or all of the impact of foreign currency exchange movements by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the exchange risk on a portion of our Canadian dollar exposure. We may not always enter into such forward contracts and such contracts may not always be available and economical for us. Additionally, the forward rates established by the contracts may be less advantageous than the market rate upon settlement.

Ting

As an ISP, we have invested and expect to continue to invest in selective fiber to the home (“FTTH”) deployments in select markets in the United States. The investments are a reflection of our ongoing efforts to build FTTH network via strategic partnerships in communities we identify as having strong, unmet demand for FTTH services. Given the significant upfront build and operational investments for these FTTH deployments, there is risk that we may not fully recover these investments as a result of future technological and regulatory changes, competitive responses from incumbent local providers, and slower than expected market penetration or otherwise.

Wavelo 

Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s MONOS software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform. More recently, Ting Internet has also integrated Wavelo’s ISOS and SM software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. With our external platform and professional services revenues concentrated to one customer in EchoStar, we are exposed to significant risk if we are unable to maintain this customer relationship or establish new relationships for any of our Platforms in the future. Additionally, our revenues as a platform provider are directly tied to the subscriber volumes of EchoStar's MVNO or MNO networks, and our profitability is contingent on the ability of EchoStar to continue to add subscribers, either from organic growth or from migration off legacy systems, onto our platforms.

Domain Services

The increased competition in the market for Internet services in recent years, which we expect will continue to intensify in the short and long term, poses a material risk for us. As new registrars are introduced, existing competitors expand service offerings and competitors offer price discounts to gain market share, we face pricing pressure, which can adversely impact our revenues and profitability. To address these risks, we have focused on leveraging the scalability of our infrastructure and our ability to provide proactive and attentive customer service to aggressively compete to attract new customers and to maintain existing customers.

Substantially all of our Tucows Domains revenue is derived from domain name registrations and related value-added services from wholesale and retail customers using our provisioning and management platforms. The market for wholesale registrar services is both price sensitive and competitive and is evolving with the introduction of new gTLDs, particularly for large volume customers, such as large web hosting companies and owners of large portfolios of domain names. We have a relatively limited ability to increase the pricing of domain name registrations without negatively impacting our ability to maintain or grow our customer base. Growth in our Tucows Domains revenue is dependent upon our ability to continue to attract and retain customers by maintaining consistent domain name registration, retaining high margin customers, value-added service renewal rates and upselling, and to grow our customer relationships through refining, evolving and improving our provisioning platforms and customer service for both resellers and end-users. In addition, Tucows Domains also generates revenues through the sale of names from our portfolio of domain names and through the OpenSRS, Enom, and Ascio Domain Expiry Streams. Our domains under management and transactions saw a moderate decrease in Fiscal 2025, largely as a result of select, low margin customers taking their business in-house. These fluctuations occur occasionally in our business, and with broad, diverse and global nature of our reseller base ensures that margin remains healthy, and will be augmented by the strategies discussed above to continue to grow our revenue base.

From time-to-time, certain vendors provide us with market development funds to expand or maintain the market position for their services. Any decision by these vendors to cancel or amend these programs for any reason may result in expenses in future periods not being commensurate with what we have achieved during past periods.

29

Other opportunities, challenges and risks

The Company is entitled to a long-term payment stream that is a function of the margin generated by the transferred subscribers over the 10-year term of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement executed in the Fiscal 2020. This consideration structure may not prove to be successful or profitable in the long-term to us if the existing subscriber base churns at an above average rate. Additionally, given EchoStar controls the revenues and costs incurred associated with the acquired subscribers, there could arise a situation where profitability for the subscriber base is diminished either by lower price points or cost inflation. Additionally, as part of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement, the Company retained a small number of customer accounts associated with one MNO agreement that was not reassigned to EchoStar at time of sale. We continue to be subject to the minimum revenue commitments previously agreed to with this excluded MNO agreement. The Company is able to continue adding customers under the excluded MNO network in order to meet the commitment. However, with no direct ability to change customer pricing and limited ability to renegotiate contract costs or significant terms, the Company may be unable to meet the minimum commitments with this MNO partner and could incur significant and recurring penalties until such a time that the contract is complete. These penalties would negatively impact our operational performance and financial results if enforced by the MNO. As of December 31, 2025, the Company accrue
d $3.9 million of penalties associated with the minimum commitment shortfall. The Company expects to incur penalties through January 2026, at which point the initial term of the contract is complete. 

The contract will automatically continue month-to-month thereafter, with no expected penalties in the month-to-month arrangement. Should we continue to be bound by any minimum purchase commitments in excess of our customer-based usage, our cost of revenue may increase, negatively impacting financial results.

As discussed above, the Company announced on November 6, 2025 that it commenced a process to review strategic alternatives for the Ting business, to address its ongoing liquidity requirements. The outcome and timing of this process are uncertain and may materially affect future revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures. As a result, Ting’s future revenue growth, cost structure and overall financial performance may differ materially from current results and expectations.

An in-depth assessment of the risk factors impacting our businesses has been discussed at length above in Part I under the caption "Item 1A Risk Factors" in this Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The following is a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties made by management that may result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Fiscal 2025, includes further information on the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, available market information as applicable, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time they are made. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results will differ, potentially materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions and estimates are outside of the Company’s control. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. 

Acquired customer relationships

For acquired customer relationships, the Company estimates the fair value based on the income approach.  The income approach is a valuation technique that calculates the fair value of an intangible asset based on the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated over the remaining useful life of the asset.  This valuation involves significant subjectivity and estimation uncertainty, including assumptions related to future revenues attributable to acquired customer relationships, attrition rates and discount rates.

30

Loss contingencies

We are sometimes subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving competition, intellectual property, privacy, tax and related compliance, labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

We evaluate, on a regular basis, developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments and changes to our disclosures as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. Until the final resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material.

Impairment of goodwill 

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment at an operating segment level, which the Company has assessed to be our reporting units. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $130.4 million in goodwill, of which $107.7 million (83%) related to Tucows Domains and $22.7 million (17%) related to Ting. 

We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill is impaired, and if so, we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

When performing a qualitative analysis, we evaluate factors such as macro-economic, industry and market conditions including the capital markets, the competitive environment, in addition to other internal factors including changes to our market capitalization, cash inflows, obligations and access to capital of our segments. Any changes to these factors could change our assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill is impaired and necessitate the quantitative analysis outlined below, and hence, result in a potential impairment charge. In addition, changes in our organizational structure or how our management allocates resources and assesses performance, could result in a change in our operating segments, requiring a reallocation of goodwill and an updated impairment analysis.

If a quantitative impairment test is required, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill. For the year ended December 31, 2025, a quantitative impairment test was required for Ting, but this did not result in the recognition of any goodwill impairment. 

 In performing the quantitative impairment test for Ting, we primarily used the income approach to determine fair value, in which future expected cash flows at the operating segment level are converted to present value using factors that consider the timing and risk of the future cash flows. Key assumptions in the income approach included the timing and amount of future cash flows, terminal value growth rates, terminal value margin rates, market participant assumptions, benchmarks and discount rates. Changes to any of these assumptions could result in a different fair value estimate, and hence result in an impairment.

31

Table of Contents

Impairment of long-lived assets

We review the carrying values of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, finite-life intangible assets and right of use lease assets, for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment testing is performed at the asset group level, unless an asset generates independent cash flows or if the Company has determined the asset will be disposed of by abandonment in which case the impairment analysis is performed at the asset level. Our asset groups are equivalent to our operating segments, Tucows Domains, Ting and Wavelo.

We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. This assessment evaluates market prices, changes in the use or physical condition of the asset, changes in legal factors or the business climate, financial performance and costs incurred, forecasts and any expectation of disposals of the asset or asset group. Any changes to these factors could change our assessment of whether the carrying amount is recoverable, and necessitate the quantitative analysis outlined below, and hence, result in a potential impairment charge.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be not recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over its remaining useful life. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the relevant asset group is considered to be impaired, and an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2025, this recoverability test was required for Ting, but this test did not result in the recognition of any long-lived asset impairment.

Assumptions used in estimating the undiscounted cash flows of Ting include the timing and amount of future cash flows and the useful lives of the property and equipment. Any changes to these factors could change our assessment of the recoverability of the Ting long-lived assets, and hence result in an additional potential impairment charge.

Further, the Company determined certain long-lived assets would be disposed of by abandonment. Management estimated the salvage value and recorded an impairment loss representing the difference between the carrying amount and salvage value of the assets. During the year ended December 31,2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $10.7 million primarily related to abandoned materials and supplies held for capital projects, as well as impairment of right-of-use operating lease assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.7 million related to assets under construction and materials and supplies held for capital projects. The salvage value was estimated based on management’s judgment regarding realizability in secondary markets. Management based its estimates on historical experience, available market information as applicable, third party analysis and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time they are made. Changes to any of these assumptions could result in a different fair value estimate, and hence result in further impairment losses.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We operate in various tax jurisdictions, and accordingly, our income is subject to varying tax rates. Losses incurred in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset taxable income in another jurisdiction. Our ability to use income tax loss carryforwards and future income tax deductions is dependent upon our operations in the tax jurisdictions in which such losses or deductions arise. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and evaluating our uncertain tax positions.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes the deferred tax assets or liabilities for the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for valuation allowances, historical and future levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies are considered.  As of December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance of $68.1 million was recorded, for those deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.

We apply a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if, on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2025, we recognized uncertain tax provisions of $0.1 million within the provision for income taxes.

See "Note 9. Income Taxes" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding income taxes.

NET REVENUES

Ting

Ting and its subsidiaries, Cedar, and Simply Bits, includes the provision of high-speed Internet access services to select towns throughout the United States. Our primary sales channel is through the Ting website. The primary focus of this segment is to provide reliable Gigabit Fiber and Fixed Wireless Internet services to consumer and business customers. Generally, Ting Internet services have no fixed contract terms, aside from certain bespoke contracts with business customers.

The Company's billing cycle for all Ting Internet customers is computed based on the customer's activation date. Since consideration is collected before the service period, revenue is initially deferred and recognized as the Company performs its obligation to provide Internet access within each reporting period. Incentive marketing credits given to customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue. 

Our construction services are earned to revenue earned from the design, construction and installation of a fiber optic network for a specific customer contract. Control of the network infrastructure transfers to the customer as it is constructed. 

Revenue from network construction is recognized over time, as Ting’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as it is being constructed. Progress toward completion is measured using an output method, based primarily on network build milestones such as served addresses completed and accepted by the customer. Amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as contract liabilities, while amounts recognized in excess of billings are recorded as contract assets. Where services require installation, revenue is not recognized until a customer's service is activated.

The Company records a reduction of revenues that reflects expected refunds, rebates and credit card charge-backs at the time of the sale based on historical experiences and current expectations.

33

Wavelo

Platform Services

Tucows' Platform Services include the following full-service platforms from Wavelo, including MONOS, ISOS, SM and our legacy Platypus ISP Billing software. Under each of these platforms there are a variety of solutions that support CSPs, including subscription and billing management, network orchestration and provisioning, and individual developer tools. Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s MONOS software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform. More recently, Ting Internet has also integrated Wavelo’s ISOS and SM software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. Wavelo's customers are billed monthly, on a postpaid basis. The monthly fees are variable, based on the volume of our customers' subscribers utilizing the platform during a given month, to which minimums may apply. Customers may also be billed fixed platform fees and granted fixed credits as part of the consideration for long-term contracts. Consideration received is allocated to platform services and bundled professional services and recognized as each service obligation is fulfilled. Any fixed fees for Wavelo are recognized into revenue evenly over the service period, while variable usage fees are recognized each month as they are consumed. Professional services revenue is recognized as the hours of professional services granted to the customer are used or expire. When consideration for these platform services is received before the service is delivered, the revenue is initially deferred and recognized only as the Company performs its obligation to provide services. Likewise, if platform services are delivered before the Company has the unconditional right to invoice the customer, revenue is recognized as a Contract Asset.

Other Professional Services

This revenue stream includes any other professional services earned in connection with the Wavelo business from the provision of standalone technology services development work. These are billed based on separate Statement of Work arrangements for bespoke feature development. The Company recognizes revenue at the point-in-time when the final acceptance criteria have been met.

Tucows Domains

Wholesale - Domain Services

Domain registration contracts, which can be purchased for terms of one to ten years, provide our resellers and retail registrant customers with the exclusive right to a personalized internet address from which to build an online presence. The Company enters into domain registration contracts in connection with each new, renewed and transferred-in domain registration. At the inception of the contract, the Company charges and collects the registration fee for the entire registration period. Although fees are collected upfront, revenue from domain registrations is recognized ratably over the registration period as the Company provides the customer with a domain registration service, which represents a distinct performance obligation satisfied over time. The registration period begins once the Company has confirmed that the requested domain name has been appropriately recorded in the registry under contractual performance standards.

Historically, our wholesale domain service has constituted the largest portion of our business and encompasses all of our services as an accredited registrar related to the registration, renewal, transfer and management of domain names. In addition, this service fuels other revenue categories as it often is the initial service for which a reseller will engage us, enabling us to follow on with other services and allowing us to add to our portfolio by purchasing names registered through us upon their expiration. We expect Domain services will continue to be the largest portion of our business and will continue to enable us to sell add-on services.

The Company is an ICANN accredited registrar. Thus, the Company is the primary obligor with our reseller and retail registrant customers and is responsible for the fulfillment of our registrar services to those parties. As a result, the Company reports revenue in the amount of the fees we receive directly from our reseller and retail registrant customers. Our reseller customers maintain the primary obligor relationship with their retail customers, establish pricing and retain credit risk to those customers. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize any revenue related to transactions between our reseller customers and their ultimate retail customers.

34

Wholesale – Value-Added Services

We derive revenue from domain related value-added services like digital certifications, WHOIS privacy and hosted email and by providing our resellers and retail registrant customers with tools and additional functionality to be used in conjunction with domain registrations. All domain-related value-added services are considered distinct performance obligations which transfer the promised service to the customer over the contracted term. Fees charged to customers for domain-related value-added services are collected at the inception of the contract, and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contracted term, consistent with the satisfaction of the performance obligations.

We also derive revenue from other value-added services, which primarily consists of proceeds from storefront and domain expiry streams.

Retail

We derive revenues mainly from Hover's  retail properties through the sale of retail domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. The retail segment includes the sale of the rights to its portfolio of surname domains used in connection with our RealNames email service and Linux hosting services for websites through our Exact Hosting brand.

Corporate and all other - Mobile services and eliminations

Although we still provide mobile telephony services to a small subset of customers retained through the Ting Mobile brand as part of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement executed in Fiscal 2020, this revenue stream no longer represents the Company's strategic focus going forward. Instead we have transitioned towards being a platform provider for CSPs globally via Wavelo. Retail telephony and transition services are not part of our reportable segments under ASC 280 Segment Reporting "ASC 280") and their results are presented as part of the All Other category.

Ting Mobile wireless usage contracts grant customers access to standard talk, text and data mobile services. Ting Mobile contracts are billed based on the customer's selected rate plan, which can either be usage-based or an unlimited plan. All rate plan options are charged to customers on a postpaid, monthly basis at the end of their billing cycle. All future revenues associated with the retail mobile services stream will only be for this subset of customers retained by the Company, as mentioned above. Ting Mobile services are primarily contracted through the Ting website, for one month at a time and contain no commitment to renew the contract following each customer's monthly billing cycle. The Company's billing cycle for all Ting Mobile customers is computed based on the customer's activation date. In order to recognize revenue as the Company satisfies its obligations, we compute the amount of revenues earned but not billed from the end of each billing cycle to the end of each reporting period. In addition, revenues associated with the sale of wireless devices and accessories are recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer and shipment has occurred. Incentive marketing credits given to customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

These mobile services revenue streams also include transitional services provided to EchoStar. These are billed monthly at set and established rates for services provided in period and include the provision of sales, marketing, order fulfillment, and data analytics related to the legacy customer base sold to EchoStar. The Company recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies its obligations to provide transitional services. 

As a form of consideration for the sale of the customer relationships, the Company receives a payout on the margin associated with the legacy customer base sold to EchoStar, over a period of 10 years. This has been classified as Other Income and not considered revenue in Fiscal 2024 or 2025.

*Corporate and all other includes revenues from Ting Mobile, corporate overhead functions, and other activities that do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment disclosure under ASC 280. Ting Mobile is not managed as a separate reportable segment and is included within Corporate and all other for purposes of segment reporting. Intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in consolidation.

Total net revenues for Fiscal 2025 increased by $28.0 million, or 8%, to $390.3 million compared to Fiscal 2024. The increase in net revenue was driven by revenues from Tucows Domains, Ting, and Wavelo; partially offset by a decline in revenues from Mobile Services and eliminations. The Tucows Domains segment increased $12.5 million in the current period primarily driven by passthrough pricing increases and strong expiry auction revenue performance. The Ting segment increased $8.5 million in the current period as a result of subscriber growth on our Fiber network across the United States. The Wavelo segment increased $7.8 million in the current period primarily driven by rate increases and subscriber growth. Mobile Services and eliminations decreased by $0.7 million attributable to increased intersegment revenues.

Contract liabilities at December 31, 2025 decreased by $3.9 million to $152.9 million from $156.8 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower billings in Tucows Domains due to a decrease in domain names under management, and furthered by a small decrease in Wavelo as bundled professional services available in select customer contracts expired and were recognized into revenue. This was partially offset by an increase in Ting Internet with new construction in Laguna Woods Village, California, United States.

A customer, EchoStar, within our Wavelo segment accounted for 11.7% of total net revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 10.7% of total net revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024. EchoStar accounted for 44% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2025 and 56% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2024. Though a significant portion of the Company’s domain services revenues are prepaid by our customers, where the Company does collect receivables, management judgment is required at the time revenue is recorded to assess whether the collection of the resulting receivables is reasonably assured. On an ongoing basis, we assess the ability of our customers to make required payments. Our expected credit losses were $1.3 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively. Based on this assessment, we expect the carrying amount of our outstanding receivables, net of expected credit losses, to be fully collected.

37

Ting

Ting generated $68.2 million in net revenue during Fiscal 2025, which increased by $8.5 million or 14% compared to Fiscal 2024. This growth is driven by continued subscriber growth across our Fiber network and small increases in average revenue per user ("ARPU") relative to Fiscal 2024, the continued growth of available serviceable addresses in Ting towns throughout the United States, and new construction in the Laguna Woods Village, California, United States.

As of December 31, 2025, Ting Internet had access to 126,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 109,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 54,000 active accounts under its management; compared to having access to 134,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 45,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 51,000 active accounts under its management as of December 31, 2024. These figures exclude any changes in serviceable addresses and accounts attributable to Simply Bits. 

Wavelo

Platform Services

Wavelo's Platform services generated $47.6 million in net revenue during Fiscal 2025, which increased by $7.8 million or 19.6% compared to Fiscal 2024. The increase in Fiscal 2025 net revenue is driven primarily by incremental revenues from existing customers, EchoStar following contract renewal, Ting subscriber growth, as well as new customers. Wavelo revenues continue to benefit from our customers' own subscriber growth. Intersegment revenues earned by Wavelo for provision of services on the Wavelo platforms for Ting and Mobile Services are included in Wavelo's segment revenues for purposes of segment analysis, but are ultimately eliminated upon consolidation. The elimination impact is presented below in Corporate and all other - Mobile services and eliminations.

Other Professional Services

Wavelo's Other Professional Services net revenue decreased from less than $0.1 million in Fiscal 2024 to NIL million in Fiscal 2025. These revenues related to the provision of standalone technology services development for our CSP customers and are non-recurring and often one-time in nature, and accordingly can fluctuate period over period. These revenues depend on the volume (if any) and scope of standalone technology services development work our customers engage us to perform. In the current period, we performed no standalone professional services for our customers.

Tucows Domains

Wholesale - Domain Services

Wholesale Tucows Domains generated $204.2 million in net revenue during Fiscal 2025, which increased by $7.0 million or 4% compared to Fiscal 2024. Increases from Wholesale domain registrations were driven by various passthrough price increases from select registry cost increases since Fiscal 2024, as well as increased recognition of revenue previously deferred, offsetting the lower billings from the decrease in domain names under management. 

Together, the OpenSRS, Enom, EPAG and Ascio Domain Services manage 21.5 million domain names under the Tucows, Enom, EPAG and Ascio ICANN registrar accreditations and for other registrars under their own accreditations. Domains under management has decreased by 3.0 million domain names, or 12%, since December 31, 2024, driven by some resellers migrating management of their domains in-house.

Wholesale - Value-Added Services

Wholesale value-added services generated $24.0 million in net revenue during Fiscal 2025, which increased by $4.2 million or 21% compared to Fiscal 2024. The increase in value-added service revenue was driven by strong expiry auction sales, slightly offset by a small decrease in certificates sales. 

Retail

Retail domain services generated $38.9 million in net revenue during Fiscal 2025, which increased by $1.3 million or 3% compared to Fiscal 2024. The increase in retail revenue was primarily driven by passthrough price increases across domain name registrations and RealNames products in Fiscal 2025.

38

Table of Contents

Corporate and all other - Mobile services and eliminations

Mobile Services and eliminations generated $7.4 million in net revenue during Fiscal 2025, which decreased by $0.7 million or 9% compared to Fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven by an increase in intersegment corporate eliminations of $0.6 million, primarily as a result of increased revenues associated with platform billing between Wavelo and Ting as well as Wavelo and Mobile Services. This was furthered by a decrease of less than $0.1 million associated with the mobile telephony services and device revenues from the small group of customers retained by the Company as part of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement. This decrease was primarily a result of the limited subscriber growth and plan mix shifting towards lower price point rate plans compared to Fiscal 2024. 

COST OF REVENUES

Ting

Cost of revenues primarily includes the costs for provisioning high speed Internet access for Ting and its subsidiaries, Cedar and Simply Bits, which is comprised of network access fees paid to third-parties to use their network, leased circuit costs to directly support enterprise customers, the personnel and related expenses (excluding costs eligible for capitalization) for the physical planning, design, construction and build out of the physical Fiber network, as well as personnel and related expenses (excluding costs eligible for capitalization) for the installation, activation, repair, maintenance and overall field service delivery of the Ting business. Other costs include field vehicle expenses, and small sundry equipment and supplies consumed in building the Fiber network.

Cost of revenues for construction services relate to costs for the design, construction and installation of a fiber optic network for a specific customer contract. Control of the network infrastructure transfers to the customer as it is constructed.

Wavelo

Platform Services

Cost of revenues to provide the MONOS, ISOS and SM platforms, as well as our legacy Platypus ISP Billing software services including network access, provisioning and billing services for CSPs. This includes the amortization of any capitalized contract fulfillment costs over the period consistent with the pattern of transferring network access, provisioning and billing services to which the cost relates. Additionally, this includes any costs paid to third-party public cloud hosting or other service providers for customer specific platform deployment or delivery costs.

Other Professional Services

Cost of revenues to provide standalone technology services development work to our CSP customers to help support their businesses. This includes any personnel and contractor fees for any client service resources retained by the Company. Only a subset of the Company's employee base provides professional services to our customers. This cost reflects that group of resources.

Tucows Domains

Wholesale - Domain Services

Cost of revenues for domain registrations represents the amortization of registry and accreditation fees on a basis consistent with the recognition of revenues from our customers, namely ratably over the term of provision of the service. Registry fees, the primary component of cost of revenues, are paid in full when the domain is registered, and are initially recorded as prepaid domain registry fees. This accounting treatment reasonably approximates a recognition pattern that corresponds with the provision of the services during the period. Market development fund rebates, provided by registries as incentives for certain top-level domains, are reflected as a reduction to cost of goods sold in the month they are received.

39

Wholesale - Value-Added Services

Costs of revenues for value-added services include licensing and royalty costs related to the provisioning of certain components for hosted email and fees paid to third-party hosting services. Fees payable for trust certificates are amortized on a basis consistent with the provision of service, generally one year, while email hosting fees and monthly printing fees are included in cost of revenues in the month they are incurred.

Retail

Costs of revenues for our provision and management of Internet services through our retail site, Hover.com, include the amortization of registry fees on a basis consistent with the recognition of revenues from our customers, namely ratably over the term of provision of the service. Registry fees, the primary component of cost of revenues, are paid in full when the domain is registered, and are recorded as prepaid domain registry fees and are expensed ratably over the renewal term. Costs of revenues for our surname portfolio represent the amortization of registry fees for domains in our portfolio over the renewal period, which is generally one year, the value attributed under intangible assets to any domain name sold and any impairment charges that may arise from our assessment of our domain name intangible assets.

Corporate and all other - Mobile services and eliminations

Cost of revenues for retail mobile services includes the costs of provisioning mobile services, which is primarily our customers' voice, messaging, data usage provided by our MNO partner, and the costs of providing mobile phone hardware, which is the cost of mobile phone devices and SIM cards sold to our customers, order fulfillment related expenses, and inventory write-downs. Included in the costs of provisioning mobile services are any penalties associated with the minimum commitments with our MNO partner. 

These mobile services costs also include the personnel and related costs of transitional services provided to EchoStar. These are billed monthly at set and established rates for services provided in period and include the provision of sales, marketing, customer support, order fulfillment, and data analytics related to the legacy customer base sold to EchoStar. The Company recognizes costs as the Company satisfies its obligations to provide professional services. 

Network expenses

Network expenses include personnel and expenses related to platform and network site reliability engineering, network operations centers, IT infrastructure and supply chain teams that support our various business segments. It also includes the depreciation and any impairment charges of property and equipment related to our networks and platforms, amortization of any intangible assets related to our networks and platforms, communication and productivity tool costs, and equipment maintenance costs. Communication and productivity tool costs include collaboration, customer support, bandwidth, co-location and provisioning costs we incur to support the supply of all our services, across our segments.

Ting Mobile is not managed as a separate reportable segment and is included within Corporate and all other for purposes of segment reporting. Intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in consolidation.

Total cost of revenues for Fiscal 2025 increased by $17.1 million, or 6%, to $296.3 million, from $279.2 million in Fiscal 2024. The increase in cost of revenues was driven by increases across Ting, Tucows Domains, and Mobile Services and eliminations by $9.6 million, $5.9 million, and $5.5 million, respectively. The increase in Ting of $9.6 million was largely driven by a $3.0 million one-time Ting lease accounting adjustment, as well as lease accounting impacts of the Memphis network lease and construction contract costs in Laguna Woods Village, both of which are new in Fiscal 2025, and cost of revenues associated with growth in active subscribers. The increase in Tucows Domains of $5.9 million was primarily a result of cost increases from select registries through the current period. The increase in Mobile Services and eliminations of $5.5 million was primarily a result of escalating MNO minimums and plan mix changes in the current period. These increases were partially offset by decreases across Network Expenses and Wavelo of $3.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The decrease in Network Expenses of $3.7 million was primarily driven by decreased people costs following the February 2024 Workforce Reduction and 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan and other restructuring efforts, as well as a decrease in colocation fees following the closure of one colocation data center; partially offset by an increase in depreciation costs. The slight decrease in Wavelo of $0.2 million was primarily driven by the savings in customer-specific public cloud hosting costs; partially offset by recognition of labor costs to deliver bundled professional services with EchoStar.

42

Deferred costs of fulfillment as of December 31, 2025 decreased by $4.0 million, or 3%, to $113.0 million from $117.0 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease was driven by Tucows Domains with a decrease of $5.2 million from the decrease in current period billings as a result of a decrease in domain names under management, consistent with the decrease in contract liabilities discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Ting of $1.2 million related to Laguna Woods Village, California, United States construction contract costs.

Ting

In Fiscal 2025, costs related to provisioning high speed Internet access for customers of Ting and its subsidiaries, Cedar and Simply Bits, increased by $9.6 million, or 51%, to $28.3 million as compared to $18.8 million during Fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a $3.0 million one-time lease accounting adjustments to true up lease expense for three partner network leases, lease accounting impacts of the Memphis network lease, and the Laguna Woods Village construction contract costs, with the remaining variance driven by the subscriber and serviceable address growth across our Fiber network, consistent with the discussion in the Net Revenue section above.

Wavelo

Platform Services

Cost of revenues from Wavelo Platform Services for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $0.1 million, or 11%, to $1.1 million from $1.2 million in Fiscal 2024. This decrease was driven by savings in customer specific public cloud hosting costs, and partially offset by recognition of labor costs to deliver bundled professional services with EchoStar.

Other Professional Services 

Cost of revenues from Other Professional Services for Fiscal 2025 decreased from less than $0.1 million in Fiscal 2024 to NIL million in the current period. Cost of revenues to provide other professional services change depending on the nature and scope of work we are engaged to perform for our customers for select statements of work. These cost of revenues depend on the volume (if any) and scope of standalone technology services development work our customers engage us to perform. In the current period, we performed no standalone professional services for our customers. The decrease is aligned to the decrease in Net Revenues from other professional services discussed above.

Domain Services

Wholesale - Domain Services

Costs for Wholesale domain services for Fiscal 2025 increased by $5.6 million, or 4%, to $164.0 million as compared to $158.4 million in Fiscal 2024. Increases from Wholesale domain services were primarily driven by various registry gTLD cost increases since Fiscal 2024, as well as increased recognition of costs previously deferred, driven by lower billings due to a decrease in domain names under management. The increase is aligned to the increase in Net Revenues discussed above.

Wholesale - Value-Added Services

Costs for wholesale value-added services for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $0.2 million, or 12%, to $1.8 million as compared to $2.1 million in Fiscal 2024. This decrease was driven by the slight decrease in certificates sales, aligned to the discussion in Net Revenues above. 

Retail

Costs for retail domain services for Fiscal 2025 increased by $0.6 million, or 3%, to $17.2 million as compared to $16.6 million in Fiscal 2024. Increases were driven by various registry gTLD cost increases.

43

Corporate and all other - Mobile services and eliminations

Cost of revenues from Mobile Services and Eliminations for Fiscal 2025 increased by $5.5 million, or 44%, to $18.2 million as compared to $12.6 million in Fiscal 2024. The increase is primarily driven by increased costs associated with mobile telephony services from the small group of customers retained by the Company as part of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement due to escalating MNO minimum commitments, and to a lesser extent changes in usage patterns. The Company incurred $4.5 million of penalties associated with the MNO minimum commitment shortfall in Fiscal 2025, as compared to $1.8 million in Fiscal 2024. The Company expects to incur penalties through January 2026, at which point the initial term of the contract is complete. The contract will automatically continue month-to-month thereafter, with no expected penalties in the month-to-month arrangement. This was partially offset by a decrease in transitional services costs provided to EchoStar in connection with the legacy Ting Mobile customer base, consistent with the above discussion around Net Revenues.

Network Expenses

Network costs for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $3.7 million, or 5% to $65.8 million as compared to $69.5 million in Fiscal 2024. The current period decrease was primarily driven by $4.5 million in personnel related cost savings resulting from the 2024 February Workforce Reduction and the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, executed in October 2024, as well as other restructuring efforts. This was furthered by a $0.9 million decrease in colocation fees following the closure of one colocation data center, and a $0.6 million decrease in impairment (for a total of $0.8 million of impairment in Fiscal 2025, related to obsolete and damaged materials and supplies held for capital projects). These decreases were offset by an increase in network depreciation of $1.4 million.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs. These costs include commissions and related expenses of our sales, product management, public relations, call center, support and marketing personnel. Other sales and marketing expenses include customer acquisition costs, advertising and other promotional costs.

Sales and marketing expenses for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $11.0 million, or 19%, to $48.4 million as compared to Fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced personnel costs following the 2024 February Workforce Reduction and the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, as well as Ting's reduced marketing and customer acquisition spend as the segment looks to measure and optimize channel spending. This decrease was also furthered by reduced Ting facilities expenses (reclassified to General & Administrative in Fiscal 2025 on a prospective basis).

Excluding movements in exchange rates and the unknown outcome of the process to review strategic alternatives for the Ting business, we expect sales and marketing expenses for Fiscal 2026, for the Tucows businesses excluding Ting to increase in absolute dollars, as we adjust our marketing programs to facilitate the continued expansion of our operations. If the Ting strategic process does not result in a successful transaction, or if it is delayed or abandoned, Ting would be required to implement significant operational changes to preserve liquidity which could include substantial reductions in operating expenses, including further reduction to sales and marketing expenses. 

TECHNICAL OPERATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT

Technical operations and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses required to support the development of new or enhanced service offerings and the maintenance and upgrading of existing infrastructure. This includes expenses incurred in the research, design and development of technology that we use to register domain names, provide Wavelo's platform services, provide Ting's Internet Services, email, retail, domain portfolio and other Internet services. All technical operations and development costs are expensed as incurred, unless eligible for capitalization as internal use software.

Technical operations and development expenses for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $0.8 million, or 4%, to $17.8 million as compared to Fiscal 2024.

General and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2025 increased by $5.8 million, or 16%, to $42.9 million as compared to Fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by Ting facilities expenses (reclassified from Sales and Marketing in Fiscal 2025 on a prospective basis), leadership severance costs, and increased miscellaneous costs to support general and administrative functions. These increases were partially offset by some personnel savings relating to the 2024 February Workforce Reduction and the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan and lower professional services fees incurred in the current period.

45

Excluding movements in exchange rates and the unknown outcome of the process to review strategic alternatives for the Ting business to address its ongoing liquidity requirements, we expect general and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2026 for the Tucows businesses excluding Ting to increase in absolute dollars, as we adjust our general & administrative spending to facilitate the continued expansion of our operations. If the Ting strategic process does not result in a successful transaction, or if it is delayed or abandoned, Ting would be required to implement significant operational changes to preserve liquidity which could include substantial reductions in operating expenses, including further reduction to general and administrative expenses.

Impairment and restructuring decreased by $18.0 million, or 63%, to $10.7 million as compared to Fiscal 2024.  

During Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $10.7 million primarily related to abandoned materials and supplies held for capital projects, as well as impairment of right-of-use operating lease assets. This is down from Fiscal 2024, where the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.7 million related to assets under construction and materials and supplies held for capital projects. These assets were deemed no longer necessary for future operations following the implementation of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, which included the decision to cease new market expansions in select Ting markets. 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company also incurred $11.0 million in one-time costs related to both the February 2024 Workforce Reduction and the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan restructurings, which were both accounted for under 
ASC 420 - Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. These costs associated with the February 2024 Workforce Reduction and 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan predominantly consisted of termination benefits for the terminated employees associated with the restructuring, continuation of benefits, outplacement costs, and professional services. No such restructuring charges or events were incurred in Fiscal 2025.

Depreciation costs for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $0.1 million to $0.3 million as compared to Fiscal 2024. The slight decrease was due to lower additions to property and equipment in Fiscal 2025 while additions from prior years became fully depreciated.

Amortization of intangible assets for Fiscal 2025 decreased by $0.6 million, or 16%, to $3.2 million as compared to Fiscal 2024. This decrease was driven by the completed amortization of Tucows Delaware brand assets acquired in Fiscal 2005, which was completed in March 2025. The decrease was furthered by the completed amortization of customer relationships associated with the Company's Fiscal 2017 acquisition of Enom, which was completed in January 2024, as well as disposition of select customer relationship assets in Cedar Networks, acquired in Fiscal 2020.

Network rights, brand and customer relationships acquired in connection with the following acquisitions are amortized on a straight-line basis over a range of two to seven years: Enom in January 2017, Ascio in March 2019, Cedar in January 2020 and Simply Bits in November 2021.

During Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded gains on disposition of property and equipment of $5.9 million. This was primarily driven by a $5.1 million gain related to the sale of Ting assets under construction and materials and supplies held for capital projects, and furthered by a $0.4 million gain on Ting vehicle sales. There were no such dispositions in Fiscal 2024.

Other income (expense) decreased by $7.0 million when compared to Fiscal 2024. The decrease in income was primarily driven by higher net interest expense, lower income earned on sale of Transferred Assets to EchoStar (as defined in "Note 17. Other Income (Expenses)" to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and lower other income. Net interest expense increased by $4.0 million, driven by the inclusion of $2.6 million interest expense associated with the 2023 and 2024 Term Notes, a $1.9 million increase due to lower interest expense capitalization associated with Fiber network assets under construction, a $1.2 million increase due to reduced money market fund interest income from falling interest rates, and a $1.0 million increase in interest expense associated with the Unit Purchase Agreement with Generate; partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in interest expense related to the Credit Facility for the Tucows businesses excluding Ting due to the reduction in outstanding principal balance. Other Income decreased by $2.3 million due to a decrease in income earned on the sale of transferred assets to EchoStar as a result of normal churn, as expected. Other income also decreased by $0.6 million driven by the share of the current period impact in the Orange Domains equity-method investment.

Income taxes increased by $0.5 million and the effective tax rate, expressed as a percentage of the loss before provision for income taxes, changed from (8%) for the year ended December 31, 2024 to (13%) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an income tax expense of $8.5 million (2024 - $8.0 million). Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 of (13%) differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a net increase in the valuation allowances related to deferred taxes and tax owing on foreign earnings.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate is set forth in “Note 9. Income Taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

We believe that the provision of this non-GAAP measure allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of our core business using similar evaluation measures to those used by management. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance and prepare our budgets. Since Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a liquidity measure. For liquidity measures, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below. Non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. We endeavor to compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income based on GAAP, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. Tucows strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Our Adjusted EBITDA definition excludes provision for income tax, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, asset impairment, interest expense (net), loss on debt extinguishment, accretion of contingent liabilities, stock-based compensation, gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions, and costs that are one-time in nature and not indicative of ongoing performance (profitability), including acquisition and transition costs. Gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions removes the unrealized effect of the change in the mark-to-market values on outstanding foreign currency contracts not designated in accounting hedges, as well as the unrealized effect from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. dollars to U.S. dollars.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $15.7 million, or 45% to $50.6 million when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the Ting, Tucows Domains, and Wavelo segments. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Ting segment, which excludes the restructuring impacts of the February 2024 Workforce Reduction and 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, improved by $16.3 million, primarily driven by subscriber growth across the markets we serve, recognition of previously deferred contract liabilities for new construction, the reduction in spend across sales and marketing activities, and reduced personnel costs due to the savings realized from the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, and to a lesser extent, the February 2024 Workforce Reduction. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Tucows Domains segment increased by $4.3 million from strong expiry and wholesale results through the current period. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Wavelo segment increased $3.7 million, primarily driven by the recognition of incremental revenues from both existing and new customers. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by a decrease in Mobile Services and eliminations contribution of $8.6 million, primarily from increasing MNO minimum purchase obligation related penalties and a decrease in income earned on sale of Transferred Assets to EchoStar; partially offset by reduced personnel costs with the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $10.1 million, restricted cash included in funds held by trustee increased by $0.7 million, and our secured notes reserve funds balance increased by $0.5 million, respectively, when compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in our cash balance was primarily driven by $5.8 million from cash used in operating activities, $5.0 million related to the repayment of the 2023 Credit Facility, $0.4 million in financing costs related to the extension of the 2023 Credit Facility, $17.1 million for additions to property and equipment, and $0.2 million related to the acquisition of intangible assets. These uses of cash were partially offset by $19.5 million proceeds on disposal of property and equipment.

As of December 31, 2025, our total current liabilities increased by $130.6 million to $330.4 million when compared to December 31, 2024.

49

This was primarily the result of the reclassification of the redeemable preferred units of $137.0M to current liabilities following the Return Breach and Trigger Event asserted by Generate in December 2025 as outlined in "Note 13. Redeemable Preferred Units" to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This reclassification reflects the possibility that Generate could make a Redemption Request; however, as of the date of this report, no such request has been submitted. Ting operates as a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, and its indebtedness has no recourse to Tucows Inc. or its other subsidiaries. 

Contract liabilities, current portion, decreased $4.1 million to $131.6 million. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to customers in advance for domain registrations and other services that will be recognized as revenue over future service periods. Associated deferred costs of fulfillment, current portion are presented in current assets and similarly decreased by $4.3 million to $97.2 million.

Excluding these amounts, total current liabilities decreased by $2.3 million to $61.9 million, driven by a $1.2 million decrease in our foreign currency derivative liability associated with our foreign currency hedge, and other working capital movements.

2024 Ting Securitized Financing Facility

On August 20, 2024, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Ting, entered into a definitive agreement relating to a securitized financing facility related to a privately placed securitized transaction.  On the closing date, Ting issued (i) $55,000,000 of its 5.63% Secured Fiber Revenue Notes, Series 2024-1, Class A-2 (the “2024 Class A-2 Notes”), (ii) $8,000,000 of its 6.85% Secured Fiber Revenue Notes, Series 2024-1, Class B (the “2024 Class B Notes”) and (iii) $16,000,000 initial principal amount of 9.15% Secured Fiber Revenue Notes, Series 2024-1, Class C (the “2024 Class C Notes” and together with the 2024 Class A-2 Notes and the 2024 Class B Notes, the “2024 Term Notes”).

The offering was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Subject to certain limitations, the 2024 Notes are secured by certain of the Company’s revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of the Securitized Assets, that are owned by certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy-remote, wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Securitization Entities”) that act as guarantors under the Base Indenture.

The 2024 Term Notes were issued under the Base Indenture, dated as of May 4, 2023 (as supplemented by the Base Indenture Supplement No. 1, dated as of November 10, 2023), by and between the Issuer, the asset parties party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”) and securities intermediary and a series supplement to the Base Indenture dated as of the Closing Date (the “Series 2024-1 Supplement”), by and among the Issuer, the asset parties party thereto and the Indenture Trustee. The Base Indenture and the Series 2024-1 Supplement will allow the Issuer to issue additional series of notes in the future, subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

Interest payments on the 2024 Term Notes are payable on a monthly basis. The legal final maturity date of the 2024 Term Notes is in August of 2054, but, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the anticipated repayment date of the 2024 Term Notes will be in August 2029. If the Issuer has not repaid or refinanced the 2024 Term Notes prior to the anticipated repayment date, additional interest will accrue on the 2024 Term Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (A) 5.00% per annum and (B) a per annum interest rate equal to the excess, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the original interest rate of such 2024 Term Note (i) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a “mortgage equivalent basis” pursuant to the standards and practices of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) on such anticipated repayment date of the United States Treasury Security having a term closest to 10 years, plus (ii) 5.00%, plus (iii)  for the 2024 Class A-2 Notes, 2.00% ,for the 2024 Class B Notes, 3.25%, for the 2024 Class C Notes, 7.00%.  Please see the discussion in the Material Cash Requirements section below.

2023 Credit Facility

On September 22, 2023, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tucows.com Co., Ting Inc., Tucows (Delaware) Inc., Wavelo, Inc. and Tucows (Emerald), LLC (each, a “Borrower” and together, the “Borrowers”) and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into the 2023 Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Facility”) with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent (“BMO” or the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto, to, among other things, provide the Borrowers with the 2023 Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $240 million. The Borrowers may request an increase to the 2023 Credit Facility through new commitments of up to $60M if the Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) is less than 3.75:1.00. The Credit Facility was originally due to expire on September 22, 2026.

50

On September 8, 2025, the Borrowers entered into a one-year Extension Agreement (the "Extension Agreement"). The Extension Agreement extends the term of the 2023 Credit Agreement through September 22, 2027. The material terms of the 2023 Credit Agreement remain unchanged; however, the Extension Agreement amends certain definitions relating to the treatment of specified expenses in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio financial covenant. In connection with the Extension Agreement, the Company incurred $0.4 million of fees paid to the Lenders. These fees have been reflected as reduction to the carrying amount of the loan payable and will be amortized over the extended term to September 2027. 

The 2023 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The 2023 Credit Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain customary non-financial covenants and restrictions. In addition, the Company has agreed to comply with the following financial covenants: (1) a leverage ratio by maintaining at all times a Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio of not more than 3.75:1:00; and (2) an interest coverage ratio by maintaining as of the end of each rolling four financial quarter period, an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.00:1.00. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's leverage ratio was 3.12:1.00 and Interest Coverage Ratio was 4.17:1.00.

During Fiscal 2025, the Company made net repayments of $5.0 million towards the 2023 Credit Facility. The Company ended December 31, 2025 with a remaining principal balance of $190.4 million, for which the required repayment is due in 2027.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held contracts in the amount of $27.2 million with BMO to trade U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars under an uncommitted treasury risk management facility which assists the Company with hedging Canadian dollar exposures. Please see the discussion in the Material Cash Requirements section below.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Year ended December 31, 2025

Net cash outflows from operating activities during Fiscal 2025 totaled $5.8 million, compared to net cash outflows of $19.7 million in the prior year, reflecting a 71% decrease. Net loss was $75.8 million, and included non-cash charges and recoveries of $77.9 million including depreciation and amortization, accretion of redeemable preferred units, impairment of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and deferred income taxes (recovery). This was offset by changes in our working capital, which resulted in a net cash outflow of $15.3 million from cash utilization of $19.2 million driven by prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contract liabilities and accounts receivable; partially offset by positive contributions of $3.9 million from movements in deferred costs of fulfillment. This impact was partially offset by changes from other operating assets and liabilities of $7.5 million, including changes in contract assets, inventory, income taxes recoverable, customer deposits and accreditation fees payable. 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

from financing activities during Fiscal 
2025
totaled 
$5.4

. Total cash outflows were driven by $5.0 million related to the repayment of the syndicate revolver and $0.4 million related to the syndicate revolver issued. These were partially offset cash inflows of 
less than $0.1 million from proceeds received on exercise of stock options. 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Year ended December 31, 2025

Net cash inflows from investing activities during the Fiscal 2025 totaled $2.2 million, compared to net cash outflows of $56.5 million in the prior year, reflecting a $58.7 million year-over-year change. Total cash inflows were driven by $19.5 million of proceeds on disposal of property and equipment. These were offset by $17.1 million cash outflows related to the investment in property and equipment, primarily to support the continued expansion of our Ting Internet Fiber network footprints in Colorado, North Carolina, and California, as well as $0.2 million for the acquisition of other intangible assets.

Material Cash Requirements

At December 31, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and secured notes reserve funds balances totaled $64.2 million, of which $41.3 million belonged to Ting and $22.9 million belonged to the other Tucows businesses. Of the $41.3 million which belonged to Ting, $5.3 million is restricted cash and $12.2 million is restricted cash in secured notes reserve funds. 

In our 2024 Annual Report, we disclosed our material cash requirements of both the Ting segment as well as the other segments excluding Ting. As of December 31, 2025, other than the items mentioned below, there have been no other material changes to our material cash requirements outside the ordinary course of business.

Ting 

As of December 31, 2025, the balance owing on the Unit Purchase Agreement was $137.0 million ("Note 13. Redeemable Preferred Units" to the Consolidated Financial Statements). On May 4, 2023, Tucows, through its indirect and wholly owned subsidiaries, including Ting Fiber, LLC entered into a definitive agreement relating to a securitized financing facility where Ting Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, issued the 2023 Term Notes for a total value of $238.5 million and 2024 Term Notes for a total value of $63.0 million ("Note 8. Notes Payable" to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

As of December 31, 2025, Ting had not paid the preferred return due under the Unit Purchase Agreement to Generate for three consecutive quarters amounting to $14.7 million in the aggregate. The unpaid interest for these quarters has been treated as payment-in-kind ("PIK") and added to the outstanding balance of the redeemable preferred units. On December 1, 2025, Ting received written notice from Generate asserting that a Return Breach and a Trigger Event had occurred as a result of Ting's failure to pay quarterly preferred return for two consecutive quarters, and Generate reserved its rights to pursue certain remedies as described in "Note 13. Redeemable preferred units" to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Ting undertook workforce reductions on February 7, 2024 and October 30, 2024, which aimed to reduce Ting’s workforce by 13% and 42%, respectively. Both plans were designed to lower year-over-year operating expenses by streamlining operations, reducing capital activities and reducing operating expenses within the Ting operating segment.

Ting incurred a net loss of $89.8 million and $121.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025, Ting had $23.8 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $3.6 million in accounts receivable, $1.2 million in accounts payable and $8.7 million in accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2025, Ting’s long-term liabilities included $291.6 million payable on the 2023 and 2024 Term Notes. Ting's current liabilities included $137.0 million payable on the Redeemable Preferred Units. Ting incurred an operating cash flow deficit of $32.2 million and $49.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Ting has scheduled interest payments of $20.1 million in the twelve months following December 31, 2025.  

Given the ongoing capital needs of Ting, the Company commenced a process to review strategic alternatives for the Ting business during 2025. Ting may not be able to meet its financial obligations over the twelve months following the issuance of this Annual Report without additional financing. Ting has historically relied on the proceeds from its Redeemable Preferred Units as well as its 2023 and 2024 Term Notes to fund its operations and the expansion of the Ting Fiber Internet footprint. Ting currently has limited capacity to expand its borrowings under the Base Indenture. Ting's ability to obtain additional financing if required will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms or complete a sale transaction, we may have to consider other alternatives to raise capital or significantly restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained, and which could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, Ting could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that would likely result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us. Any such bankruptcy of Ting would not trigger cross-defaults under the 2023 Credit Facility. Ting operates as a bankruptcy-remote entity and its debt has no recourse to the Company. Accordingly, the Company's direct financial exposure to Ting is limited to certain employee severance and termination benefits, contractual guarantees, termination or exit costs, and professional service and advisory fees associated with services provided at the corporate level, as disclosed in "Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

52

Tucows Businesses Excluding Ting

Tucows businesses excluding Ting, acquisitions and capital investments have been funded by the Company's operating income and the Company's existing 2023 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s 2023 Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $190.4 million. Tucows businesses excluding Ting make principal repayments from time to time. 

For Fiscal 2026, the Company plans to fund the cash requirements of Tucows businesses excluding Ting solely through operating income, while making discretionary loan repayments to create greater operating flexibility and access to additional financing. 

In the long-term, Tucows businesses excluding Ting may seek additional financing to accelerate the growth of our Tucows Domains or Wavelo businesses, repurchase shares or future acquisitions. The Company's 2023 Credit Facility, which was renewed in 2025, expires on September 22, 2027 and the Company will be required to refinance the 2023 Credit Facility once it becomes due.
