Grant Schuetrumpf, President and CEO of Yangaroo, commented, "Our second-quarter performance reflects the strength of Yangaroo's operating model and our ability to convert increased client activity into profitable growth. Our sixteenth consecutive quarter of positive Normalized EBITDA demonstrates the consistency and resilience we have established across the business.
"The Advertising Division continues to benefit from increased political advertising activity ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, together with increased activity across other key industry sectors. The advertising market is also becoming increasingly complex as brands and agencies manage campaigns across linear television, streaming, and digital channels. We see a meaningful opportunity for Yangaroo to address that complexity through a unified combination of technology and managed services.
"Our continued investment in Clearance services across the United States and Canada is building momentum as we expand our expertise, client relationships and integrated platform capabilities. By bringing Clearance, asset management, and distribution together within a more unified workflow, we are seeking to become more deeply embedded in our clients' operations while creating additional recurring revenue opportunities. We remain disciplined in balancing these investments with operational performance and liquidity.
"Our Entertainment Division also performed well during the quarter. The Awards continues to generate stable, recurring revenue through long-standing client relationships, while creating additional growth opportunities through expanded services such as fan-voting capabilities. The successful onboarding of two new fan-voting programs during the quarter demonstrates our ability to extend the platform beyond traditional submission and adjudication workflows.
"In Music, increased audio delivery volumes supported year-over-year growth, and the return of music video programming at a significant broadcaster creates an additional opportunity to increase our video distribution activity. We are also continuing to develop strategic industry relationships that can broaden the reach and capabilities of the Music platform.
"Across all divisions, our focus remains consistent: expand key customer relationships, increase the value delivered through our technology and services, and pursue growth opportunities that complement our existing capabilities. Yangaroo is well positioned to benefit from the growing need for secure, efficient and integrated media workflow solutions across the advertising and entertainment markets."

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The following Non-IFRS definitions are used in the press release because management believes that they provide useful information regarding the Company's ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned that the definitions are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be construed to be alternatives to revenues and net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of performance, liquidity, or cash flows. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from the methods used by other entities and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities or in other jurisdictions.
EBITDA as defined by the Company means Earnings Before Interest and financing costs (net of interest income), Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. EBITDA is derived from the statements of net and comprehensive income (loss) and can be computed as revenues less salaries and consulting expenses, technology and production expenses, marketing and promotion expenses, general and administrative expenses, remeasurement of contingent consideration, remeasurement of embedded derivative liability, foreign exchange gain (loss), and any non-recurring items such as restructuring expenses, gain from settlement, government subsidies and acquisition fees.
Normalized EBITDA, as defined by the Company, means EBITDA adjusted for one-time non-recurring or non-cash items such as share-based compensation, restructuring fees, acquisition fees, foreign-exchange gain (loss), remeasurement of embedded derivative liability, remeasurement of contingent consideration, one-time credits, and any gains from settlement.
EBITDA Margin and Normalized EBITDA Margin as defined by the Company means EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, respectively, as a percentage of revenue.
Working capital as defined by the Company means current assets less current liabilities.
Liquidity as defined by the Company means cash plus the available capacity in the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company believes EBITDA, EBITDA margin, liquidity, and working capital, are useful measures because they provide information to both management and investors with respect to the operating and financial performance of the Company.
