Financial Highlights for the Quarter:

• Total revenue increased by 43.8% to $4.5 million in Q2 F2022 compared to $3.1 million reported in Q2 F2021. The increase in total revenue was positively impacted by growth in recurring revenue, and particularly by SaaS subscriptions revenue growth.
• Recurring software revenues (software as a service (SaaS), software subscriptions and maintenance) increased by 23.4% or $428,217 to $2.3 million, compared to $1.8 million in Q2 F2021.
• Revenue from SaaS and Software Subscriptions in Q2 F2022 increased by 62.9% or $390,350 to $1.0 million, compared to $0.6 million in Q2 F2021.
• Annual Recurring Revenue from Software reached $9.2 million on September 30, 2021, an increase of 21.8% compared to $7.6 million reported at September 30, 2020.
• Gross profit for Q2 F2022 totaled $3.1 million, an increase of 60.6% or $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million in Q2 F2021. Gross margin was 68.5% of revenue in Q2 F2022, compared to 61.3% in Q2 F2021. Higher gross margin is directly related to increases in higher margin subscription licenses in the quarter.
• Net income of $345,871 in Q2 F2022, compared to a net income of $120,692 in Q2 F2021. Net income increased because revenue grew faster than all costs and expenses compared to the previous quarter.

Operational Highlights for the Quarter

In August, the Company launched COVAPP, a software solution built for the high volume needs of COVID-19 test laboratories inundated by the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 variants. From patient registration to reporting, the solution was designed to maximize throughput, testing capacity, compliance and scalability. Xybion booked contracts for the solution during the quarter.

Non- IFRS Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-IFRS financial measures. EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before net finance expenses, depreciation and amortization expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before income taxes, net finance costs, depreciation and amortization, Paycheck Protection Payment (PPP) loan forgiveness, one-time Reverse Takeover (RTO) expenses and stock-based compensation, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues. Since the Company capitalizes its operating leases as right of use assets, the amount of amortization related to these right of use (ROU) assets was not added back to earnings in determining Adjusted EBITDA.   We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful measures of financial performance because they provide an indication of the Company's ability to seize growth opportunities in a cost-effective manner and finance its ongoing operations.  Each of these non-IFRS financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. These measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement financial statements by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
