Toronto, Ontario (May 7, 2026) - MDA
Space Ltd. (TSX: MDA) (NYSE:MDA), a trusted mission partner to the rapidly expanding global space industry, today announced its financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“Q1 execution drove a solid start to the year, with the MDA Space
team once again delivering on our track record of quarterly year-over-year revenue growth. Our consistent performance reinforces our ability
to deliver profitable growth while maintaining balance sheet strength to invest and expand, all of which contributed to a highly successful
initial public offering and listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
We continue to see the speed at which defence spending and demand for
new space capability is shaping the market. In March, we announced a contract with Canada's Defence Investment Agency to deliver three
Ground-Based Optical observatories to support space domain awareness for the Department of National Defence. In April, underpinned by
the investments we have made in our next generation commercial and dual-use product portfolio, we launched MDA MIDNIGHTTM, a space control
platform ideally timed to deliver capabilities urgently needed by defence departments to protect critical space infrastructure.
Equally evident was focused execution across the business with our
first set of Globalstar satellites signed off and delivered to Florida for the upcoming launch, and the first shipments of our space-grade
chips received for integration into MDA AuroraTM.
With a $40 billion pipeline, including both commercial and government
customer opportunities, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our growth plans and deliver shareholder value.”
Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA Space
Q1 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Backlog of $3.7 billion at quarter-end provides revenue visibility for 2026 and beyond. This compares
to $4.8 billion as of Q1 2025 with the reduction year-over-year driven by strong conversion of backlog into revenue. |
| · | Revenues of $464.1 million in Q1 2026 were up 32.2% year-over-year driven by higher volumes across all
business areas in the quarter. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA of $90.6 million in Q1 2026 increased 32.1% year-over-year driven by higher volumes of
work. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.5% in Q1 2026 is consistent with the Company’s full year margin guidance of 18%-20%. |
| · | Net income of $29.6 million in Q1 2026 was down 10.0% year-over-year and diluted earnings per share were
$0.22 in Q1 2026, a decrease of 11.5% year-over-year driven primarily by the increase in amortization of intangible expenses related to
the SatixFy Communications Ltd. acquisition in Q3 2025. |
1As defined in the “Non-IFRS
Financial Measures” section
| · | Adjusted net income in Q1 2026 was $50.7 million increasing 32.0% year-over-year driven by the higher
gross margin, partially offset by investments in SG&A and R&D. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.38 in Q1 2026 increased
26.9% year-over-year as a result of the higher adjusted net income, partially offset by higher average diluted shares outstanding due
to a recent equity issuance related to the US IPO. |
| · | Operating cash flow of $60.9 million in Q1 2026 compared with $267.0 million in Q1 2025. The year- over-year
decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to working capital fluctuations. |
| · | Free cash flow of $(27.6) million in Q1 2026 compared to $205.3 million in Q1 2025. The year-over- year
decrease was driven by reduced operating cash flow as a result of the aforementioned lower working capital contributions as well as higher
capital expenditures. |
| · | Net cash position of $299.3 million at the end of Q1 2026 represented a (0.9)x net debt to adjusted EBITDA
ratio and compares to a net debt position of $120.0 million as of December 31, 2025, which represented a 0.4x net debt to adjusted
EBITDA ratio. The improved net cash position was largely driven by net proceeds received through an initial public offering in the United
States, which was completed in Q1 2026. |
2026 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
As a trusted mission partner and leading global
space technology provider, we are leveraging our capabilities and expertise to execute on targeted growth strategies across our end markets

year-over-year growth of approximately 7% at the mid-point of guidance |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18% - 20% |
| · | Capital expenditures of $225 - $275 million to
support another year of investments related to the production expansion at our Montreal facility and investments in chip development |

capital fluctuations |

Revenues
Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $464.1
million, representing an increase of $113.1 million (or 32.2%) from the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase in
revenues was driven by higher volumes of work performed across all business areas in the quarter.
By business area, revenues in Satellite
Systems for the first quarter of 2026 were $313.1 million, which represents an increase of $91.1 million (or 41.0%) from the same
period in 2025 driven by the increase in volume of work on the Telesat Lightspeed program and the Globalstar next generation LEO
constellation program. Revenues in Robotics & Space Operations for the first quarter of 2026 were $91.6 million, which
represents an increase of $14.3 million (or 18.5%) from the same period in 2025 driven by the increase in volume of work on the
Canadarm3 program. Revenues in Geointelligence for the first quarter of 2026 were $59.4 million, which represents an increase of
$7.7 million (or 14.9%) from the same period in 2025 due to higher volume of work on various programs.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit reflects our revenues less cost of
revenues. Q1 2026 gross profit of $115.2 million represents a $35.5 million (or 44.5%) increase over Q1 2025 driven by higher volumes
of work performed across all business areas. Gross margin in Q1 2026 was 24.8% and compares to a gross margin of 22.7% in Q1 2025 driven
by program mix.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026
was $90.6 million compared with $68.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $22.0 million (or 32.1%) year-over-year
driven by higher work volumes as we continue to convert our backlog. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.5% in the first quarter of 2026 compared
to 19.5% adjusted EBITDA margin reported in the first quarter of 2025
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026
was $50.7 million compared with $38.4 million for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $12.3 million (or 32.0%) year-over-year
primarily driven by higher operating income.
Backlog
Backlog is comprised of our remaining performance
obligations which represents the transaction price of firm orders less inception to date revenue recognized and excludes unexercised contract
options and indefinite delivery or indefinite quantity contracts. Backlog as at March 31, 2026 was $3,692.7 million, a decrease of
$1,145.7 million compared with the backlog at March 31, 2025 driven by continued conversion of our backlog into revenue. The following
table shows the build up of backlog for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared with the same period in 2025.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release refers to certain non-IFRS
measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IFRS), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented
by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further
understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, the measures should not be considered in
isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non- IFRS measures, including EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Order Bookings, Net Debt (Cash) and Free Cash
Flow to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that
may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.
We define EBITDA
as net income (loss) before: i) depreciation and amortization expenses, ii) provision for (recovery of) income taxes, and iii) finance
costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding to and deducting from EBITDA, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits
incurred which in management’s view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess
the operating performance of our business, including i) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, ii) unrealized gain or loss on financial
instruments, iii) share-based compensation expenses, iv) share of profit or loss of equity-accounted investees, and v) other items that
may arise from time to time. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted Net Income is calculated by
adding to and deducting from net income, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred which in management’s
view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business,
including i) amortization of intangible assets related to business combinations, ii) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, iii) unrealized
gain or loss on financial instruments, iv) share-based compensation expenses, v) share of profit or loss of equity-accounted investees,
and vi) other items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted Earnings per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. Order Bookings is the dollar sum of contract values of firm customer contracts. Order Bookings is
indicative of firm future revenues; however, it does not provide a guarantee of future net income and provides no information about the
timing of future revenue. Net Debt (Cash) is the total carrying amount of long-term debt including current portions, as presented in the
Q1 2026 Financial Statements, less cash and excluding any lease liabilities. Net Debt (Cash) is a liquidity metric used to determine how
well the Company can pay its debt obligations if they were due immediately. Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure used by Management
and other users of the financial statements to monitor the availability of discretionary cash generated, and available to the Company
to repay debt, make strategic investments, and meet other payment obligations. We define Free Cash Flow as operating cash flows less net
capital expenditures.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains certain statements
that may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws (“forward-looking
statements”), including but not limited to statements relating to our financial position, business and growth strategies and our
revenue pipeline. When used in this news release, forward-looking statements often but not always, can be identified by the use of forward-looking
words such as, including but not limited to, “may”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “expect”,
“believe”, “intend”, "future" and other similar terminology or the negative or inverse of such words
or terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of management’s

customers; successful execution of our business strategies; consistent and stable economic conditions or conditions in financial markets;
government priorities and the growth in the global space industry being consistent with expectations; consistent and stable legislation
in the various countries in which we operate; and continued availability of qualified personnel.
Forward-looking statements are also subject
to risks and uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to

economic, political and geopolitical conditions; catastrophic space events, natural disasters and other significant disruptions;
policies, priorities, mandates and funding levels of governmental entities; the termination of customer contracts; our revenue
pipeline not resulting in firm contracts or realized revenue; the ability to execute large, complex and fixed-price contracts within
expected cost, schedule and performance parameters; variability in the timing and realization of revenues from backlog;
cybersecurity risks; tariffs or other international trade disputes; the loss, failure or performance degradation of RADARSAT-2;
revenue concentration in a small number of contracts; the failure to successfully implement our growth strategy; supplier risks; our
ability to develop new technology; risks associated with artificial intelligence and the adoption of emerging technologies; our
ability to attract, train and retain employees; regulatory and export control requirements and approvals; financing, liquidity and
covenant compliance risks; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed under the “Risk Factors” section of the
Company’s annual information form dated March 4, 2026. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying
these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect and there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent
with the forward- looking statements. There are a number of additional risks and uncertainties affecting or that could affect MDA
