Gross profit for the year ended September 30, 2025, increased to $20.0 million (16.8%) from $19.2 million (15.9%) during the previous year. We continued to see steady improvement in our gross profit margin percentages. These improvements are a result of the continued focus on operating efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME & ADJUSTED EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is the Company's primary KPI for evaluating financial performance. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million ($0.31 per share) for the year ended September 30, 2025, representing a 13.4% increase from $5.0 million ($0.26 per share) in the previous year. The increase highlights sustained operational improvements, complemented by insurance rebates recognized during the fiscal year.

BALANCE SHEET 

Key balance sheet items are summarized below: 

UPDATE ON NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID 

During the year ended September 30, 2025, we bought back 439,200 shares at an average price of $2.54 per share (prior year: 591,400 shares at an average price of $2.52 per share). All but 700 shares repurchased under the normal course issuer bid have been cancelled, with the remaining 700 cancelled shortly after year-end.

We continue to believe that our shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect their value and that the purchase of shares under the NCIB enhances remaining shareholder value. Since 2017, the Company has cancelled nearly 48% of its outstanding shares through buybacks.

OUTLOOK 

We are seeing continued growth in demand for the kind of innovative and cost-effective security services and solutions that we offer at SSC. Our ability to combine physical and electronic security services in a fully integrated way is the future of our industry. Additional growth may also come via acquisition, as we look to acquire other profitable companies in the Canadian security industry. Acquisitions may help us reach our growth targets more quickly, but we will not rush to complete new deals, and we will maintain our financial conservatism throughout.

The remaining legacy assets are expected to convert to cash, and our objective is to make these resources available for the expansion of our security business.

We also plan to continue to distribute capital to shareholders via our dividend, operate with minimal to no debt while maintaining solid liquidity, focusing on maintaining strong margins, and maximizing our Adjusted EBITDA per share.
