(TSX: DLCG) ("DLC Group" or the "Corporation") today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. DLC Group is one of Canada's leading franchisors of mortgage professionals, with a national network of over 8,900 agents. The Corporation also owns Newton Connectivity Systems Inc., a financial technology company that provides an integrated end-to-end operating platform, called Velocity, designed to automate and streamline the entire mortgage application, approval, underwriting and funding process.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter as we remain focused on executing our proven growth strategy. Despite ongoing softness in the housing market, the Canadian residential mortgage origination market has been strong to date in 2025 on the back of a strong renewal market and the decline in interest rates earlier this year," commented Gary Mauris, Chairman and CEO of DLC Group. "The strong market, coupled with continued growth in our broker network and expansion of Velocity adoption, enabled the Corporation to generate 31% revenue growth, 48% EBITDA growth and a doubling of our adjusted earnings per share."

"In addition to the strong financial results, a highlight of the quarter was the launch of Heartwood Financial Group, in which the Corporation owns a 40% equity interest. Heartwood operates independently from the DLC Group and was founded by an experienced management team to fill an underserved segment of the Canadian residential market. We are pleased to report that activity levels to date have been in-line with our initial expectations and Heartwood successfully funded its first loan in early July. We are excited for the growth ahead for Heartwood and believe that our investment will generate strong profitability and shareholder value for DLC Group in the coming years," added Mr. Mauris.

"As we look forward, we remain optimistic on our growth outlook for the remainder of 2025. While we are coming up against some tougher comparable quarters, given the strong finish that we had in 2024, we continue to expect positive revenue and earnings growth in 2025. We maintain our steadfast focus on continuing to increase our market share, expand our addressable market size and create strong returns for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Mauris.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Review:

Despite the overall macroeconomic outlook weakening early this year due to tariffs and global trade uncertainties, the Corporation has continued to generate strong results during the second quarter of 2025. Several market and internal factors drove our positive revenue and earnings growth in Q2 2025, including an active mortgage renewal market, expanded Velocity reach, greater market presence across Canada, and increased customer engagement initiatives. In addition to revenue growth, a continued focus on profitability and financial discipline resulted in strong earnings growth, free cash flow generation, and balance sheet.

  • Revenue increased 31% from Q2 2024 to $24.6 million and was driven by a 25% increase in Funded Mortgage Volume from Q2 2024, as well as an increase in the adoption of Velocity across our broker network to 82% from 72% in Q2 2024. The growth in Funded Mortgage Volume resulted from several different factors, including the growth in our broker network, internal initiatives to leverage Velocity to increase broker productivity and strength in the Canadian residential mortgage renewal market.
  • Revenue from Franchise and Brokering of Mortgages increased 17% while Newton revenue rose 72%. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, revenue generated from a third-party supplier was reclassified from Franchise to Newton revenue. The second quarter impact was a $0.6 million increase in Newton revenue and a $0.6 million decrease in Franchise revenue, reflecting the year-to-date dollar impact from the reclassification.
  • General and administrative expenses increased 12% or $0.9 million over Q2 2024 levels, with the increase stemming from two acquisitions completed at the end of Q2 2024, higher personnel costs, and higher IT-related costs. The additional general and administrative expenses from the two acquired brokerages was $0.5 million for the quarter. On a percent of sales basis, general and administrative revenue decreased to 35.2% from 41.2% in Q2 2024. Direct costs increased 21% over Q2 2024 from higher advertising fund expenditures due to timing of advertising initiatives and from higher costs that are tied directly to movement in royalty revenues. However, on a percent of sales basis, direct costs declined to 13.1% in second quarter from 14.2% in Q2 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 48% to $12.6 million compared to Q2 2024 while Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 51% from 45% last year. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 includes $0.4 million loss from our equity-accounted investment in Heartwood, which began operations in Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margins benefited from the strength of Newton revenue, as well as the decline in operating expenses as a percent of revenue.
  • Net income of $7.7 million increased from $4.1 million in Q2 2024 due to the higher revenue and the decrease in finance expense related to the preferred share liability, partly offset by higher operating expenses and a loss on equity-accounted investments. The loss on equity-accounted investments includes a $0.4 million loss on Heartwood.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per common share increased to $0.10 in Q2 2025 up from $0.05 last year. Adjusted net income increased to $7.8 million from $2.6 million in Q2 2024 or up 198%, mainly due to higher revenue, strong margin performance, and no longer having any income being attributable to Preferred Shareholders.
  • Cash flow from operating activities increased 2% to $10.8 million from Q2 2024 levels, driven by higher income from operations offset by cash used in non-cash working capital and the reduction in finance expense related to preferred shares.
  • The strong cash flow from operations, coupled with no longer having any free cash flow being attributed to Preferred Shareholders, resulted in $10.6 million in free cash flow attributable to common shareholders compared to $4.3 million in Q2 2024.
  • The Corporation ended the quarter with adjusted total debt-to-EBITDA (on a trailing twelve-month basis) of 0.51x compared to 0.86x at the same period last year.
  • The Corporation increased its quarterly dividend by 33% in May 2025, from $0.03 per share to $0.04 per share. The Corporation paid a dividend of $0.04 per share on June 13, 2025, to shareholders of record on May 30, 2025.

2025 Year-to-Date Financial Review

Year-to-date performance was generally consistent with Q2 trends, reflecting continued revenue growth, as well as strong profitability and cash flow.

  • Revenue increased 34% from year-to-date June 30, 2024, to $43.3 million, and was driven by a 33% increase in Funded Mortgage Volume from 2024, as well as an increase in the adoption of Velocity across our broker network to 81% from 71% in 2024. Consistent with our Q2 quarterly results, the strong Funded Mortgage Volume growth was the result of an increase in the number of brokers in our network, internal initiatives to leverage Velocity to increase broker productivity and growth in the Canadian mortgage renewal market.
  • Revenue from Franchise and Brokering of Mortgages increased 23% while Newton revenue rose 65%. The change in classification of a third-party supplier revenue from Franchise to Newton, positively impacted Newton revenue and in turn negatively impacted Franchise revenue by $0.6 million year-to-date ended June 30, 2025.
  • General and administrative expenses increased 15% or $2.2 million over 2024 levels, with the increase stemming from two acquisitions completed in Q2 2024, higher personnel costs, and higher IT-related costs. The additional general and administrative expenses from the two acquired brokerages was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. On a percent of revenue basis, general and administrative expense declined to 39.8% from 46.3% in 2024. Direct costs increased 16% over 2024 levels stemming from higher advertising fund expenditures due to timing of advertising initiatives and from costs that are tied directly to movement in royalty revenues.
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 53% to $20.7 million compared to 2024 while Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 48% from 42% last year. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 includes $0.7 million loss from our equity-accounted investment in Heartwood, which commenced operations in Q2, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margins benefited from the strength of Newton revenue as well as the decline in operating expenses as a percent of revenue.
  • Net income of $14.0 million increased from $6.7 million in 2024 due to the higher revenue, the reduction of finance expense related to the preferred share liability, and a gain on sale of an equity-accounted investment, partly offset by higher operating expenses and a loss on equity-accounted investments. The loss on equity-accounted investments includes $0.7 million loss on Heartwood.
  • Adjusted net income increased to $12.7 million from $4.0 million in 2024 or up 214%, mainly due to higher revenue, strong margin performance, and no longer having any income being attributable to Preferred Shareholders.
  • Cash flow from operating activities increased 19% to $18.5 million from 2024 levels, driven by higher income from operations, partly offset by cash used in changes in non-cash working capital.
  • The strong cash flow from operations, coupled with a decline in maintenance capital expenditures and no longer having any free cash flow being attributed to Preferred Shareholders, resulted in $17.4 million in free cash flow attributed to common shareholders compared to $4.9 million in 2024.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Management presents certain non-IFRS financial performance measures which we use as supplemental indicators of our operating performance. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Non-IFRS financial performance measures include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow. Please see the Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures section of the Corporation's MD&A dated August 7, 2025 for further information on key performance indicators. The Corporation's MD&A is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
