Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(Amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, except share-based compensation awards and per share amounts)
| 1. | Nature of operations |
MDA Space Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively “MDA Space” or the “Company”) is a trusted mission partner of leading-edge space missions. The Company’s recognized engineering capabilities, portfolio of space technologies, and space mission expertise make it a trusted partner of choice for a broad range of customers worldwide. The Company leverages its capabilities to enable next generation space exploration and infrastructure, space-based communication, and both earth and space observation missions. The Company’s space technology solutions and services enable governments and businesses to develop and operate critical space infrastructure used for exploration and space-based science, to research, develop and operate space-based communications supporting our connected world, and to monitor global activities including climate change, illegal and unregulated fishing, and detection of oil spills. The Company’s technologies and solutions are also deployed for defence and intelligence applications and space observation missions. MDA Space operates across three business areas: Satellite Systems, Robotics & Space Operations, and Geointelligence, with facilities and sites in Canada, United Kingdom, United States and Israel. The Company collaborates and partners with governments and space agencies, commercial space companies and defence and aerospace prime contractors in the space industry.
MDA Space Ltd. was incorporated pursuant to a series of legal entity restructuring. On April 8, 2020, Neptune Acquisition Inc. (“NAI”), an affiliate of Northern Private Capital Ltd. purchased 100% of the equity interest in MDA GP Holdings Ltd., MDA Systems Inc., and Maxar Technologies ULC from Maxar Technologies Inc. The consideration for this transaction was $1 billion. Immediately after closing, NAI amalgamated with Maxar Technologies ULC, and changed its name to Neptune Operations Ltd. (“NOL”). On June 2, 2020, Neptune Acquisition Holdings Inc. (“NAHI”) was formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario and became the parent of its wholly owned subsidiary NOL. In March 2021, NAHI changed its name to MDA Ltd., and again to MDA Space Ltd. in April 2024.
MDA Space Ltd. is incorporated in Ontario and domiciled in Canada, with its head office located at 7500 Financial Drive, Brampton, Ontario L6Y 6K7, Canada. MDA Space’s common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, both under the symbol “MDA”.
| 2. | Basis of preparation |
| (a) | Statement of compliance |
These accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The same accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were followed in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except as described in note 3. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of MDA Space on August 6, 2026.
| (b) | Basis of measurement |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for pension plan assets and liabilities and the following assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value: financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), derivative financial instruments, and initial recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Pension plan assets and liabilities are recognized as the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the fair value of the plan assets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(Amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, except share-based compensation awards and per share amounts)
| (c) | Seasonality |
The Company’s operations historically have not experienced seasonality. However, the Company’s results period over period are affected by its stage in the work in progress in each of its long-term contracts. Therefore, the results of operations over a given interim period may not be indicative of full fiscal year results.
| (d) | Critical accounting estimates and judgments |
The preparation of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and judgments used in preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
| 3. | Changes in accounting policies and accounting pronouncements |
Amendments of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
IASB has amended IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the timing in the recognition and derecognition of financial assets and the settlement of financial liabilities. These amendments change the timing of recognition or derecognition of financial assets or liabilities from the payment initiation date to the settlement date. Any derecognition of liability earlier than the settlement date would be subject to certain criteria being met, and only applicable to financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The application of these amendments resulted in a $2.7 increase in cash and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at January 1, 2026 on the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
Forthcoming Issuance of IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replacing IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
IFRS 18 aims to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and will impact the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 18.
| 4. | Definitive Agreement Signed During the Period |
On June 18, 2026, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Blue Canyon Technologies LLC (“BCT”), a spacecraft and satellite component manufacturer and mission services provider currently part of RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX). The US$620 transaction (approximately C$874) is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to purchase price adjustments, customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals.

Over the six months ended June 30, 2026, no transfers occurred between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 1:
Level 1 derivative financial instruments comprise foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company mitigates its foreign exchange risk through reducing mismatches between currencies in its foreign currency revenue contracts and the related purchase contracts to create natural economic hedges. The Company also utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to supplement its natural hedge strategy, where needed, to further reduce the exposure arising from expected foreign currency denominated cash flows. The term of the foreign exchange forward contracts can range from less than one month to several years. At June 30, 2026, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts reported in level 1 derivative financial instruments. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes and does not have any qualifying hedges for accounting purposes.
Level 2:
Level 2 derivative financial instruments comprise foreign exchange embedded derivatives within revenue and purchase contracts. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative financial instruments based on management estimates and observable market-based inputs. Management estimates include assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. Observable market-based inputs are sourced from third parties and include currency spot and forward rates.
Level 2 investment in equity securities comprise a 0.8% equity ownership in a private foreign company purchased in USD. The Company determines the fair value based on the value per share of the same class of shares issued to investors as this company is still in its growth phase. Market-based inputs include currency spot rates. Non-market- based inputs are sourced from the investee.
Level 2 long-term debt comprises the senior revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes discussed in note 12. The fair value of the senior revolving credit facility approximates its book value and is determined using a present value of future cash flows model. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is determined using the quoted prices of an identical asset in an inactive market.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) provides information management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition of MDA Space Ltd. (the “Company”, “we”, “MDA Space” or “MDA”) as at June 30, 2026 and its consolidated operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information below, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (2025 Audited Financial Statements) filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. All dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CAD) except where otherwise specified and all numbers are in millions, unless otherwise specified or for per share amounts or ratios. References to “Q2 2026” or “this quarter” are to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 and references to “Q2 2025” are to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. The MD&A is current to August 7, 2026, unless otherwise noted.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This MD&A contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Such forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, information with respect to the Company’s objectives and strategies to achieve these objectives, as well as information with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates, intentions and views of future events. Discussions containing forward-looking information may be found, among other places, under the headings “Industry Trends”, “Outlook”, “Growth Strategies” and “Financial Overview” in this MD&A. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by words or phrases such as “forecast”, “target”, “goal”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “indicate”, “seek”, “believe”, “predict”, or “likely”, or the negative of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward- looking information. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward- looking information are not historical facts. The Company has based the forward-looking information on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes might affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Statements containing forward-looking information are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These assumptions include, among others, our ability to maintain and expand the scope of our business; our ability to execute on our growth strategies; assumptions relating to government support and funding levels for space programs and missions; continued and accelerated growth in the global space economy; the impact of competition; our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to obtain and maintain existing financing on acceptable terms; changes and trends in our industry or the global economy; currency exchange and interest rates; and changes in laws, rules, regulations.
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 information. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information. Whether actual results, performance, or achievements will conform to the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors. For additional information with respect to certain of these risks or factors, reference should be made to those described in this MD&A and to the 2025 Audited Financial Statements, together with those described and listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form (AIF) available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, which factors should not be considered exhaustive.
If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if assumptions underlying the forward-looking information provide incorrect, actual results might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. Although the Company bases the forward-looking information on assumptions that it believes are reasonable when made, the Company cautions investors that statements containing forward-looking information are not guarantees of future performance and that its actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which it operates may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A. In addition, even if the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Second Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 | M-3 |
Given these risks and uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking information. Any forward-looking information that is made in this MD&A speaks only as of the date of such statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments, except as required by applicable securities laws. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This MD&A 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (adjusted EPS), 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 also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental measures used by management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors, to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric that management uses to assess the impact of potential strategic investing or financing opportunities. For example, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions, expansion opportunities, and dispositions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used by financial institutions to measure borrowing capacity.
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. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business.
Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We use Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate a comparison of the operating performance on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business.
For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS see the section entitled “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share (Adjusted EPS) are supplemental measures used by management and other users of our financial statements to assess the financial performance of our business 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.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Second Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 | M-4 |
For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS see the section entitled “Results of Operations”.
Adjusted Earnings per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Order Bookings
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)
Net Debt (Cash) is the total carrying amount of long-term debt including current portions, as presented in the Q2 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
Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our 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.

Also within Geointelligence, our capabilities include non-space defence applications focusing on C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) solutions. A more in-depth description of our individual business areas can be found in the Company’s most recent AIF, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Our established position as a trusted mission partner can be traced to our investment in our people as well as our broad suite of technology and full lifecycle services. We work collaboratively with our customers in the early engineering phases of product and program development and provide services throughout a mission’s life, including engineering, manufacturing, integration, mission operation, and ongoing maintenance services, enabling valuable customer intimacy that drives repeat revenue opportunities.
Our market position allows us to serve a broad range of customers, including governments and space agencies, commercial space companies and defence and aerospace prime contractors in the space industry. Our long and proven track record enables us to compete successfully for major space projects globally and to continue to grow our customer base beyond Canada. As an independent supplier of space technology products, we are also able to pursue a larger set of opportunities with U.S. prime contractors, which we believe can meaningfully enhance our revenue potential from U.S. government space programs.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Backlog of $4.0 billion at quarter-end provides revenue visibility for 2026 and beyond and compares to $4.6 billion as of Q2 2025. This is an increase of $310 million compared to Q1 2026 driven by strong bookings in the quarter that exceeded conversion of backlog into revenue. |
| · | Revenues of $498.6 million in Q2 2026 were up 33.6% year-over-year driven by higher volumes across all business areas in the quarter. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA of $96.3 million in Q2 2026 increased 26.2% year-over-year driven by higher volumes of work. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.3% in Q2 2026 is consistent with the Company’s full year margin guidance of 18%-20%. |
| · | Net income of $27.9 million in Q2 2026 was up 2.6% year-over-year. Diluted earnings per share was $0.20 in Q2 2026, a decrease of 9.5% year-over-year driven primarily by the increase in the average number of common shares outstanding following the Company’s initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2026. |
| · | Adjusted net income in Q2 2026 was $51.8 million increasing 12.9% year-over-year driven by the higher gross profit, partially offset by investments in SG&A and R&D. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.36 in Q2 2026 decreased 1.5% year-over-year as the higher adjusted net income was offset by higher average shares outstanding largely due to the abovementioned IPO in the US. |
| · | Operating cash flow of $(93.4) million in Q2 2026 compared with $52.8 million in Q2 2025. The year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to normal program working capital fluctuations on major contracts. |
| · | Free cash flow of $(150.2) million in Q2 2026 compared to $16.2 million in Q2 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 $152.8 million at the end of Q2 2026 compares to a net debt position of $120.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The improved net cash position was largely driven by net proceeds received through the initial public offering in the United States, which was completed in March 2026. |
| · | In the second quarter, notable activities included the following: |
| ◦ | Announced MDA MIDNIGHT™, a space control platform for defence organizations to defend and protect the space domain.

The Omnibus Plan is a share-based plan, under which the Company can issue stock options, deferred share units (DSUs), restricted share units (RSUs), and performance share units (PSUs) to directors and employees.
Further, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company established an employee share purchase plan (ESPP). The ESPP is a cash-settled share-based payment plan whereby employees of the Company can acquire common shares through regular payroll deductions. The Company-matched employee contributions, up to a maximum of five thousand dollars per annum, are restricted to a one year holding period.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Second Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 | M-14 |
Share-based compensation expense represents the vesting of the Company’s share-based awards on a graded basis over the awards’ respective vesting periods.
Share-based compensation expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $6.6 million, which represents an increase of $2.9 million (or 78.4%) over the second quarter of 2025. This increase is mainly due to an increase in RSUs and PSUs compensation expense.
Share-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $12.4 million, which represents an increase of $4.8 million (or 63.2%) over the same period in 2025. This increase is mainly due to to an increase in RSUs and PSUs compensation expense.
Other income
Other income includes amounts related to foreign exchange gains (losses), gains (losses) on financial instruments, and other financial adjustments not related to our core business practices.
During the second quarter of 2026, other income was $12.7 million, comprising mainly of $9.4 million of foreign exchange gain and $3.3 million gain on financial instruments. The foreign exchange gain is mainly due to the depreciation of Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar in Q2 2026. The gain on financial instruments is due to a change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and the change in fair value of an embedded derivative. During the second quarter of 2025, other expense was $8.4 million, comprising mainly of $11.0 million in foreign exchange loss, offset by a $2.6 million unrealized gain on financial instruments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, other income was $20.7 million, comprising of $17.8 million of foreign exchange gain, $2.9 million unrealized gain on financial instruments. The foreign exchange gain is mainly due to the depreciation of Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar in the period. The gain on financial instruments is due to a change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, a gain on disposal of the investment in equity securities and the change in fair value of an embedded derivative. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, other income was $4.8 million, comprising of $2.1 million of foreign exchange gain, and $2.7 million of unrealized gain on financial instruments.
Finance income
Finance income represents the interest income earned on deposits, tax interest income and interest income on assets of defined benefit pension plans.
Finance income for the second quarter of 2026 was $3.0 million compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, mainly reflecting the impact of the change in forward points in embedded derivatives within revenue and purchase contracts.
Finance income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $4.0 million, compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting mainly lower cash balances and the change in forward points in embedded derivatives within revenue and purchase contracts.
Finance costs
The Company’s finance costs may include interest expense, interest on lease liabilities, net interest accrual on interest rate swaps, borrowing fees, and gains or losses on modifications of debt facilities, net of capitalized interest expense on certain qualifying capital assets under internal development.
Finance costs for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.6 million, net of $4.4 million of capitalized interest expense. Finance costs for the second quarter of 2025 were $2.9 million. The year-over-year increase of $1.7 million is driven primarily by interest on the senior unsecured notes issued in Q4 2025, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest cost.
Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $11.0 million, net of $7.8 million of capitalized interest expense. Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $7.8 million. The year-over-year increase of $3.2 million is due to higher interest on the senior unsecured notes issued in Q4 2025 partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest costs.

Share of loss of equity-accounted investee
The Company recognized the total comprehensive loss proportionate to the Company’s ownership of $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, on an equity-accounted investee purchased in Q4 2025.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense represents current and deferred taxes. For the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $13.7 million on income before income taxes of $41.6 million representing an effective tax rate of 32.9%. For the second quarter of 2025, income tax expense was $8.6 million recorded on income before income taxes of $35.8 million, representing an effective tax rate of 24.0%. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 was mainly due to tax rate differences and unrecognized tax assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $25.3 million on income before income taxes of $82.8 million and representing an effective tax rate of 30.5%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, income tax expense was $21.0 million recorded on income before income taxes of $81.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of 25.9%. The higher effective tax rate for six months ended June 30 2026 was mainly due to tax rate differences and unrecognized tax assets.
Net income
Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $27.9 million compared to $27.2 million of net income reported in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase of $0.7 million (or 2.6%) in Q2 2026 was driven primarily by higher gross margin and other income offset partially by investments in SG&A and R&D and the increase in amortization of intangible expenses related to the SatixFy Communications Ltd. acquisition in Q3 2025.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $57.5 million compared to $60.1 million reported in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year decrease of $2.6 million (or 4.3%) was driven primarily by investments in SG&A and R&D, the increase in amortization of intangible expenses related to the SatixFy Communications Ltd. acquisition in Q3 2025 offset mostly by higher gross margin and other income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company as at June 30, 2026 were $3,766.9 million, representing a $409.4 million increase from $3,357.5 million as at December 31, 2025. The increase in asset balances is primarily driven by the increase in our cash balance in the period as a result of completing our public offering of common shares in Q1 2026 and an increase in trade and unbilled receivables.
Total liabilities as at June 30, 2026 of $1,876.3 million decreased by $126.2 compared with $2,002.5 million as at December 31, 2025 primarily driven by the decrease in our contract liabilities as we execute on our contracts and the decrease in our long-term debt, offset partially by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The following table represents our working capital position as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| As at | ||||||||
| (in millions of Canadian dollars) | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Non-cash current assets | $ | 529.1 | $ | 459.8 | ||||
| Current liabilities | 1,234.9 | 1,319.1 | ||||||
| Net Working Capital | $ | (705.8 | ) | $ | (859.3 | ) | ||
Our Net Working Capital increased by $153.5 million from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026. This increase is largely due to the decrease in contract liabilities and employee related liabilities, an increase in trade receivables, unbilled receivables and inventory, offset partially by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2026 relative to December 31, 2025.
Management monitors net working capital levels on a continuous basis, to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its short-term usages of cash necessary in the normal course of operations.
Cash Flows
The Company’s consolidated cash flows are summarized in the table below.

For the second quarter of 2026, the net decrease in cash was $146.2 million compared to an increase of $289.6 million for Q2 2025. Operating activities in the latest quarter consumed cash of $93.4 million compared to cash generation of $52.8 million in Q2 2025. The year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow is primarily driven by lower working capital contributions in the period due to normal working capital fluctuations. Cash used in investing activities was $56.8 million in Q2 2026 related to capital expenditures net of government grants. In Q2 2025, cash used in investing activities was $39.4 million, comprised of $36.6 million related to capital expenditures, net of government grants, and payments of $2.8 million related to the acquisition of SatixFy Space Systems UK Ltd. Cash outflows from financing activities in the latest quarter were $3.9 million which mainly reflects payments on our lease liabilities and transaction costs related to loans and borrowings offset by proceeds from stock options exercised. In Q2 2025, cash inflows from financing activities were $275.4 million primarily driven by borrowings made on our senior revolving credit facility to complete the SatixFy Communications Ltd. acquisition.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Second Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 | M-18 |
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the net increase in cash was $243.1 million compared to a net increase of $499.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 used $32.5 million of cash compared to $319.8 million of cash generation for the same period in 2025. The lower operating cash flow in six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by the normal working capital fluctuations, in contrast to the working capital contributions in six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the Globalstar next generation LEO constellation and Telesat Lightspeed constellation programs. Cash used in investing activities was $135.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and was mainly comprised of $145.3 million related to capital expenditures, net of government grants, offset by a $9.4 million inflow related to the sale of equity securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $100.9 million and was mainly comprised of $98.3 million related to capital expenditures, net of government grants and payments of $2.8 million related to the acquisition of Satixfy Space Systems UK Ltd. Cash flows from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 were an inflow of $407.5 million, which reflects net proceeds from our issuance of common shares partially offset by net repayments made to our senior revolving credit facility, compared to an inflow of $281.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, which mainly reflects borrowings on our senior revolving credit facility to complete the SatixFy Communications Ltd. acquisition.
Capital Management
The Company defines its capital as the aggregate of long-term debt and shareholder’s equity. The Company’s primary capital management objectives are to provide an appropriate return to shareholders, safeguard working capital over the annual operating cycle, provide financial resources to grow operations to meet long-term customer demand, and comply with financial covenants under credit facilities.
The Company’s strategy to manage its capital structure is to utilize its borrowing arrangements to obtain operating credit facilities in support of its working capital and planned capital expenditures. When needed, the Company also has access to capital markets to raise equity financing and debt financing.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most material effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is disclosed in note 2 & 3(m) of the 2025 Audited Financial Statements.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Amendments of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
IASB has amended IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the timing in the recognition and derecognition of financial assets and the settlement of financial liabilities. These amendments change the timing of recognition or derecognition of financial assets or liabilities from the payment initiation date to the settlement date. Any derecognition of liability earlier than the settlement date would be subject to certain criteria being met, and only applicable to financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier application permitted. The application of these amendments resulted in a $2.7 increase in cash and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at January 1, 2026 on the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
Forthcoming Issuance of IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replacing IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
IFRS 18 aims to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and will impact the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. The standard will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 18.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s CEO and CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining Disclosure Controls and Procedures (DC&P) and have caused them to be designed under their supervision to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under applicable securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in such securities legislation. DC&P are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
At June 30, 2026, the CEO and CFO, have limited the scope of their design and operation of the Company’s DC&P to exclude controls, policies and procedures of SatixFy Communications Ltd. This company was acquired on July 2nd, 2025, for total purchase consideration of $448.3 million. The scope of limitation is primarily based on the time required to assess the acquired business’s DC&P and control over financial reporting in a manner consistent with the Company’s other operations. Further details related to the summary of financial information of this acquisition is disclosed in note 5 of the 2025 Audited Financial Statements. Except for the preceding change, based on investigation and advice of those under their supervision, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s DC&P were effective and that material information relating to the Company, was made known to them and was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under applicable securities legislation.
The Company’s CEO and CFO are also responsible for establishing and maintaining Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) and have caused ICFR to be designed under their supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our ICFR includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In completing the design, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its 2013 version of Internal Control – Integrated Framework.
At June 30, 2026, the CEO and CFO, based on investigation and advice of those under their supervision, have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s ICFR were effective. The CEO and CFO have also evaluated the Company’s ICFR, or caused it to be evaluated by those under their supervision, and concluded that there were no changes to the Company’s ICFR during the period-ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s ICFR.
Due to the inherent limitations of DC&P and ICFR, no evaluations of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, management does not expect that DC&P and ICFR can prevent or detect all errors or fraud.
RISK FACTORS
We believe our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and special considerations. For additional information with respect to certain of these risks or factors, reference should be made to those described and listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent AIF, which has been filed with Canadian securities regulators and is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Each of the risk factors set out in the Company’s AIF are incorporated by reference into this MD&A.
Since the filing of the AIF, the Company has announced the proposed acquisitions of Collecte Localisation Satellites (the “CLS Acquisition”) and Blue Canyon Technologies LLC (the “BCT Acquisition”). These transactions introduce additional risks and uncertainties that investors should consider, including the following:
Either or both of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition may be delayed or may fail to be completed if the applicable closing conditions are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Second Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 | M-22 |
The closing of the BCT Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals, including under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, as well as requirements under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. The Company intends to consummate each of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition promptly following the date on which all such respective conditions are satisfied. However, there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied on schedule or at all. As such, there is no assurance that either of the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition will be completed or, if completed, will be completed on the terms disclosed in this Offering Memorandum. In addition, a substantial delay in obtaining regulatory approvals or the imposition of unfavourable terms and/or conditions in such approvals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete either of the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition and on the Company’s, CLS’ or BCT’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
The closing of the CLS Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the exercise of the put option granted pursuant to the CLS Put Agreement and the receipt of required regulatory clearances. If the required procedural steps are not taken, or other intervening events occur, there can be no assurance that the CLS Acquisition will proceed as expected or at all.
Required regulatory approvals and clearances may delay or prevent completion of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition or impose burdensome conditions.
The closing of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition is subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and clearances, including the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period (including any extensions thereof). There can be no assurance as to which regulatory authorities may seek to review the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition, including in jurisdictions not contemplated by the applicable purchase agreement. The relevant authorities may decline to give approval or clearance as anticipated or may attach terms and/or conditions to their approval or clearance, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of, or complete, the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition, and/or on BCT’s or CLS’ business, financial condition or results of operations, as applicable. There can be no assurance as to the cost, scope or impact of the actions that may be required to obtain such regulatory approvals and clearances. In respect of the CLS Acquisition, all costs of seeking such approvals and clearances will be paid for by the Company without reimbursement by the sellers. These costs may be substantial. In addition, in the event that regulatory agencies impose unfavourable terms and/or conditions on CLS or C3 Holding, the Company may still be required to complete the CLS Acquisition on the terms set forth in the CLS Purchase Agreement.
The Company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition, which could adversely affect its business and financial results.
The Company believes that the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition will provide certain benefits to the Company and its stakeholders. There is, however, a risk that some or all of the expected benefits may fail to materialize, or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by the Company. The realization of such benefits may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. If the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition fails to provide the results that the Company anticipates, the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition could materially and adversely affect the Company and its financial results.
The Company may be unable to retain customers or employees of CLS or BCT following the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition and there may be unexpected costs or liabilities related thereto that could adversely affect the Company.
Although the Company conducted what it believed to be a prudent and thorough level of investigation in connection with each of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding any undisclosed or unknown liabilities of, or issues concerning, BCT or CLS. Following the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition, the Company may discover that it has acquired substantial undisclosed liabilities. In certain cases, such matters may not be covered by the representation and warranty insurance or the warranty and indemnity insurance, as applicable, obtained in connection with the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition, and the Company may have limited or no right to claim indemnification under the applicable purchase agreement for any such events. The Company may also be unable to retain customers or employees of BCT or CLS following completion of the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition, respectively. The continuing and collaborative efforts of the senior management and employees of BCT and CLS are important to the success of those businesses and would be harmed if the Company were to lose their services.
The integration of BCT and CLS into the Company’s business may be more complex, costly or time-consuming than anticipated, and the Company may not realize the full amount of cost savings, synergies and benefits anticipated from the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition.

The BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition involve the integration of BCT and CLS into the business of the Company. Following the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition, the integration of the business operations of BCT and CLS may result in material challenges, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns, the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process and associated expenses, and any unforeseen expenses or delays. The integration process is also costly. The Company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits if the integration process takes longer than expected or is more costly than expected. Potential difficulties include: the inability to achieve anticipated synergies; complexities associated with managing the combined entity; challenges creating uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems; and performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention.
The BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition could adversely affect the business and operations of the Company, BCT and CLS.
In connection with the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition, certain clients and suppliers of each of the Company, BCT and CLS may delay or defer decisions or choose to cease contracting with the Company, BCT or CLS, which could negatively impact the revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses of the Company, BCT and CLS, regardless of whether the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition is completed. The businesses acquired pursuant to the BCT Acquisition and the CLS Acquisition may be parties to agreements that contain change of control and/or termination for convenience provisions which may be triggered in connection with the applicable acquisition (including by material clients and suppliers of BCT or CLS). The operation of these change of control or termination provisions, if triggered, could materially adversely affect the Company’s, BCT’s and CLS’ results of operations and financial condition and their ability to continue to operate their respective businesses as they do now. In addition, the triggering of such provisions could result in unanticipated expenses and/or cash payments following the consummation of the applicable acquisition. Unless these change of control provisions are waived, or the termination provisions are not exercised, the operation of any of these provisions could adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of the combined entity.
The Company may be required to pay a termination fee if the BCT Purchase Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances.
Under the BCT Purchase Agreement, the Company may be required to pay RTX (or its designated affiliate) a termination fee if the BCT Purchase Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including if the BCT Acquisition is not consummated by the applicable end date, and, at the time of such termination, the conditions relating to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals (including under the HSR Act, applicable antitrust laws or CFIUS) have not been satisfied. If the Company is required to pay a termination fee, the Company’s liquidity and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, even if the termination fee is not payable, a failure to complete the BCT Acquisition could result in significant costs, management distraction and other adverse consequences to the Company’s business and growth prospects.
We may incur additional debt (in an amount to be determined) to finance the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition.
In financing the BCT Acquisition or the CLS Acquisition, we may incur additional debt. Such indebtedness may increase our consolidated indebtedness. Such additional indebtedness would increase our interest expense and debt service obligations and may have a negative effect on our results of operations and/or credit ratings. Such increased indebtedness may also make our results more sensitive to increases in interest rates. Our degree of leverage could have other important consequences for purchasers, including: (i) having a negative effect on our ratings; (ii) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; (iii) limiting our ability to declare dividends on our Common Shares; (iv) being vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions; and (v) being unable to make capital expenditures that are important to its growth and strategies.
