SECOND QUARTER REVIEW

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $5,126, an increase of $1,774, or 53%, compared to $3,352 in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue was $8,640, an increase of $1,583, or 22%, compared to $7,057 in the corresponding period of 2025. The increase in both periods was primarily attributable to higher equipment sales under the HALO International Program, while rental and service revenue also increased 9% to $2,921 despite typical seasonal softness in Western Canada.

Gross profit for the quarter was $2,615 (2025 - $1,782), representing 51% of revenue (2025 - 53%). The decrease in gross profit percentage reflects a shift in revenue mix toward equipment sales, which carry lower margins than rental revenue. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,426 (2025 - $779), and net income was $518 (2025 - net loss of $(456)). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $2,427 (2025 - $2,045) and net income was $735 (2025 - net loss of $(7)).

During the quarter, the Company delivered 20 HALO SE Crown Mount lighting systems to an international customer in the Middle East under the HALO International Program, representing its largest single contract to date, and completed its first commercial sale into the South American market. Effective June 30, 2026, the Company amended its distribution arrangement for the program such that its regional distributor assumed responsibility for local execution and installation, together with the associated performance guarantee, while the Company supplies units on a delivered basis and retains responsibility for product design, manufacturing, warranty, and technical support.

At June 30, 2026, the Company had a working capital surplus of $3,115, compared to a working capital deficit of $(482) at December 31, 2025. The improvement reflects investment in inventory and materials to support international deliveries, together with a reduction in the bank operating line. Cash used in operating activities was $271 for the six-month period, reflecting the working capital build to fund contract deliveries.

OUTLOOK

Cleantek enters the second half of 2026 with strong momentum as it continues to execute on the HALO International Program, under which 20 of up to 60 contracted units had been delivered as at June 30, 2026. Based on current production and delivery scheduling, the Company is optimistic that the balance of the contracted units will be delivered before year-end 2026.

While the HALO International Program operates in a region subject to ongoing geopolitical developments, the Program has experienced minimal disruption to date. Cleantek remains focused on expanding its international presence, growing its recurring rental and service business, and executing strategic initiatives that support long-term shareholder value.
