Kontrol Technologies Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
“As of Q1 2025 we have streamlined the Company and reduced operating expenses to align with the sale of our emission assets and a focus on our core operating business,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO Kontrol. “Our 2025 strategic plan includes adding new customers to our existing platform of approximately 400 buildings both through organic growth and by acquisition. In Q1 2025 we experienced delays in certain project revenues due to the uncertainties in the market created by tariff policy which has impacted large equipment manufacturers. Customers have been hesitant to engage in new upgrade projects without tariff certainty. We anticipate ongoing uncertainty until the end of Q2 2025.”

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") measure used by management that is not defined by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as these measures demonstrate the operating performance of the business excluding non-cash charges.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is calculated as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, and depreciation, share based compensation, acquisition related expenses, listing expense, gain or loss on sale of assets, revaluation and impairment of assets.
Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as determined under IFRS; nor as an indicator of financial performance as determined by IFRS; nor a calculation of cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS; nor as a measure of liquidity and cash flow under IFRS. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by any other company.
