1. Basis of Presentation
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides a review of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for Alithya Group inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

This MD&A contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking information” or "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable U.S. safe harbours (collectively “forward-looking statements”). Statements that do not exclusively relate to historical facts, as well as statements relating to management’s expectations regarding the future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects of Alithya, and other information related to Alithya’s business strategy and future plans or which refer to the characterizations of future events or circumstances represent forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are presented for the sole purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding Alithya’s objectives, strategies and business outlook as well as its anticipated operating environment and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although management believes the expectations reflected in Alithya’s forward-looking statements were reasonable as at the date they were made, forward-looking statements are based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management and, as such, are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Alithya’s control, and which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to those discussed in the section titled “Risks and Uncertainties” of the MD&A for the year ended March 31, 2025, as well as in Alithya’s other materials made public, including documents filed with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities from time to time and which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this MD&A. Alithya expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

5. Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures
Alithya reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS. This MD&A includes certain non-IFRS and supplementary financial measures and ratios to assess Alithya's financial performance. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of Alithya's results of operations from management's perspective. They do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. They should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are used to provide investors with additional insight into Alithya's operating performance and thus highlight trends in Alithya's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.
The non-IFRS measures used by Alithya are described below:
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share
“Adjusted Net Earnings” refers to net earnings (loss) before adjusting for amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangibles and goodwill, impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets and (gain) loss on lease termination, share-based compensation, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, other non-recurring items, including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for management personnel, and the income tax effects of these items.
“Adjusted Net Earnings per Share” is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares ("Subordinate Voting Shares") and Class B Multiple Voting Shares ("Multiple Voting Shares"), during the period.
Management believes that Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share are useful measures for investors as they allow comparability of the financial performance of operating activities from one period to another, prior to taking into consideration non-cash items, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, and severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for management personnel, which can vary significantly from period to period. These measures provide an indication of the results generated by Alithya’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration the non-cash and other items listed above which have resulted primarily from acquisitions and their subsequent integrations. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted Net Earnings, see section 8.6 titled “Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share”.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
“EBITDA” refers to net earnings (loss) before adjusting for income tax expense (recovery), net financial expenses, amortization of intangibles and depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets.
“EBITDA Margin” refers to the percentage of total revenue that EBITDA represents for a given period.
Management believes that EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are useful measures for investors as they provide an indication of the results generated by Alithya’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration non-cash depreciation and amortization. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA, see section 8.8 titled “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA”.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
“Adjusted EBITDA” refers to net earnings (loss) before adjusting for income tax expense (recovery), net financial expenses, foreign exchange, amortization of intangibles, depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, impairment of intangibles and goodwill, impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets and (gain) loss on lease termination, share-based compensation, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, and other non-recurring items, including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for management personnel.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” refers to the percentage of total revenue that Adjusted EBITDA represents for a given period.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful measures for investors as they allow comparability of the financial performance of operating activities from one period to another. These measures provide an indication of the results generated by Alithya’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration the non-cash and other items listed above. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see section 8.8 titled “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA”.
Constant Dollar Revenue and Constant Dollar Growth
“Constant Dollar Revenue” is a measure of revenue and revenue by geographic location before foreign currency translation impacts. This measure is calculated by translating current period revenue and revenue by geographic location in local currency using the exchange rates in the equivalent period from the prior year.
“Constant Dollar Growth” is a measure of revenue growth and revenue growth by geographic location, expressed as a percentage, before foreign currency translation impacts. This measure is calculated by dividing Constant Dollar Revenue as described above with prior period revenue.
Management believes that Constant Dollar Revenue and Constant Dollar Growth are useful measures for investors as they allow revenue to be adjusted to exclude the impact of currency fluctuations to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of business performance. For a reconciliation of revenues to Constant Dollar Revenue by geographic location, see section 8.1 titled “Revenues”.
Net Debt
“Net Debt” refers to long-term debt, including the current portion, less cash. For the calculation of Net Debt, see section 11.6 titled “Long-Term Debt and Net Debt”. Management believes that Net Debt is a useful measure for investors as it provides an indication of the liquidity of the Company.
Other Financial Measures
The other financial measures used by Alithya are described below:
“Gross Margin as a Percentage of Revenues” is calculated by dividing gross margin by revenues.
“Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenues” is calculated by dividing selling, general and administrative expenses by revenues.
| | | | | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 | | 8 |
“Bookings” refers to the amount of signed revenue agreements during the period, which includes new contracts, including those acquired subsequent to the closing date of acquisitions, as well as renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts. Management believes information regarding bookings can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in the volume of new business over time.
“Book-to-Bill Ratio” is calculated by dividing Bookings by revenues, for the same period. Management believes this measure allows for the monitoring of the Company’s backlog and offers useful insight to investors on how the business varies and evolves over time. This measure is best used over a long period as it could fluctuate significantly from one quarter to the other.
“Backlog” refers to the amount of future revenue stemming from signed revenue agreements, which includes new contracts, including those acquired through acquisitions, as well as renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts, including reductions in contractual commitments and contract terminations, expressed as a number of months of trailing twelve-month revenue, as at a given date. Backlog differs from the IFRS definition of remaining performance obligations, as disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements, as backlog also includes time and materials arrangements in which contractual billings correspond with the value of the services provided to the client and contracts with original expected durations under one year. Management believes that backlog information can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in management’s best estimate of future revenue stemming from signed revenue agreements.
“Days Sales Outstanding” (“DSO”) refers to the average number of days it takes for the Company to convert its accounts receivable and other receivables (net of sales taxes) and unbilled revenues, less deferred revenues, into cash. Management believes this measure provides useful insight to investors regarding the Company's liquidity.

7. Business Acquisition
eVerge
Overview
On May 31, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of U.S.-based eVerge Interests, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“eVerge”) (the “eVerge Acquisition”), a group specialized in enterprise applications and transformation services. Management expects that eVerge’s expertise will complement its existing Oracle business, will increase its AI capabilities, and will reinforce it’s smart shoring capabilities.
The eVerge Acquisition was completed for total consideration of US$23,500,000 ($32,292,000), before working capital and other adjustments, all payable in cash.
The total preliminary purchase consideration, in the amount of US$20,357,000 ($27,974,000) once adjusted for working capital and other adjustments, consisted of: (i) US$7,557,000 ($10,385,000) paid in cash on closing; (ii) US$580,000 ($797,000) of holdback, included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at June 30, 2025; (iii) US$7,520,000 ($10,334,000) of balance of sale payable in two installments of US$3,760,000 ($5,167,000) on May 31st, 2026 and 2027 (each an "Anniversary Date"); and (iv) potential earn-out consideration of $4,700,000 ($6,458,000), payable in two installments (50% within 90 days of the first Anniversary Date and 50% on the second Anniversary Date).
The final purchase consideration could be adjusted based on post-closing conditions related to revenues and gross margin.
The total earn-out consideration of US$4,700,000 ($6,458,000) is contingent upon the future financial performance of the acquired business over the 12-month period following the acquisition date. The contingent consideration included in the purchase consideration is classified as a financial liability recorded at fair value through profit and loss and comprised an undiscounted scenario-based weighted average expected payout amount. The contingent consideration liability is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date.
Due to the short period of time between the acquisition date and reporting period, the determination of the fair value of intangible assets and earn-out consideration, closing adjustments and related deferred tax considerations is preliminary pending completion of selection and application of appropriate valuation techniques. Accordingly, the related preliminary values in the below allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and fair value of the earn-out consideration are subject to change within the measurement period, which could be significant. The eVerge Acquisition is being accounted for using the acquisition method.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs pertaining to the eVerge Acquisition of approximately $870,000. These costs have been recorded in the interim consolidated statement of operations in business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs.

See section 5 titled "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” for an explanation of the composition and usefulness of this non-IFRS financial measure.(b) The percentages represent Constant Dollar Growth, which is a non-IFRS measure. See section 5 titled "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” for an explanation of the composition and usefulness of this non-IFRS financial measure.
Revenues amounted to $124.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $3.3 million, or 2.7%, from $120.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Revenues in Canada decreased by $5.5 million, or 8.5%, to $59.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $65.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to reduced revenues from government contracts, certain client projects reaching maturity, and one less billable day compared to the same quarter last year, partially offset by revenues from the acquisition of XRM Vision Inc. and its subsidiaries on December 1, 2024 (the “XRM Acquisition”, “XRM Vision”), and a continued recovery in the banking sector.
U.S. revenues increased by $8.8 million, or 17.3%, to $59.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $50.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to organic growth in enterprise transformation services, higher billing rates, revenues from eVerge since its acquisition, and a favorable US$ exchange rate impact of $0.7 million between the two periods.
International revenues increased by $0.1 million, or 0.7%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

8.2 Gross Margin
Gross margin increased by $1.3 million, or 3.3%, to $39.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 32.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 31.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
In Canada, gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to decreases in utilization rates and tax credits, and salary increases that came into effect at the beginning of this fiscal year, partially offset by a positive margin contribution from XRM Vision since its acquisition.
In the U.S., gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to increased efficiencies, higher billing rates, and the increased use of our smart shoring capabilities.
International gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to lower utilization.
8.3 Operating Expenses
8.3.1 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include salary, wages and other benefits for selling and administrative employees, occupancy costs, information technology and communications costs, share-based compensation, professional fees, public listing and investor fees, and other administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $30.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $1.1 million, or 3.4%, from $31.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, despite the addition of expenses from XRM Vision and eVerge since their acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues amounted to 24.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 26.2% for the same period last year. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to decreased employee compensation costs, stemming from variable compensation and $1.5 million in severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel in the same quarter last year, and decreases in business development costs, training costs, and insurance costs, partially offset by increases in share-based compensation, professional fees, and recruiting fees. On a sequential basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million, from $29.7 million for the fourth quarter of last year, due primarily to professional fees, business development costs, and expenses from eVerge since its acquisition, partially offset by decreased employee compensation expenses, primarily due to variable compensation, despite salary increases that came into effect at the beginning of this fiscal year.
In Canada, expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 5.8%, to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to increases in professional fees, share-based compensation, information technology and communications costs, and expenses from XRM Vision since its acquisition, partially offset by decreased employee compensation costs,
| | | | | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 | | 16 |
including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel in the same quarter last year.
U.S. expenses decreased by $2.0 million, or 14.9%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to decreases in employee compensation costs, including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel in the same quarter last year, information technology and communications costs, professional fees, and occupancy costs, partially offset by increased share-based compensation and expenses from eVerge since its acquisition. The decreased expenses include an unfavorable US$ exchange rate impact of $0.1 million.
International expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 9.3%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to an increase of $0.3 million in employee compensation costs, partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million in information technology and communications costs and $0.1 million in other administrative expenses.
8.3.2 Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation is included in cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses and is detailed in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(in $ thousands) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |

PSUs | | 476 | | | 392 | | | | | |
| | 2,372 | | | 1,685 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Share-based compensation amounted to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $0.7 million, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in share-based compensation was driven primarily by increased share-based compensation granted on the XRM Acquisition and increased expenses related to RSUs and PSUs.
8.3.3 Business Acquisition, Integration and Reorganization Costs
Business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs amounted to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $1.2 million, from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by a $0.9 million increase in acquisition costs mainly consisting of professional fees incurred as part of the eVerge Acquisition and a $0.6 million increase in integration costs, consisting mainly of transition costs related to system integrations and lease termination costs for vacated premises, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in reorganization costs, mainly due to lower severance payments from workforce reductions.

8.3.4 Depreciation
Depreciation totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
8.3.5 Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These costs consisted primarily of amortization of customer relationships recognized on acquisitions, which increased by $0.8 million following the XRM Vision and eVerge acquisitions, partially offset by decreased amortization of non-compete agreements and software, as certain intangibles were fully amortized compared to the same quarter last year.
8.3.6 Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain)
Foreign exchange loss amounted to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a gain of $0.02 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
8.4 Other Income and Expenses
8.4.1 Net Financial Expenses
Net financial expenses are summarized in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Interest income | | (68) | | | (162) | | | | | |
| | 2,840 | | | 2,372 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net financial expenses amounted to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 19.8%, from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven mainly by increased financing fees and interest accretion on balances of purchase price payable, mainly from the XRM Vision and eVerge acquisitions, and decreased interest income.
8.4.2 Income Taxes
Income tax recovery amounted to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a change of $3.8 million, from an expense of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax recovery resulted from the recognition of deferred tax assets related to losses in certain entities and the recognition of a deferred tax asset, related to previous years' net operating losses of the Company that were previously not recognized, in the amount of $1.9 million probable of being realized as a result of the
| | | | | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 | | 18 |
deferred tax liability pursuant to the eVerge Acquisition. The increase was partially offset by an increase in current income tax expense resulting from increased taxable income in certain jurisdictions. Certain entities of the Group, with a history of losses, do not recognize deferred tax assets related to their loss in the period.
8.5 Net Earnings (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) per Share
Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $0.2 million, representing an increase of $3.0 million, from a net loss of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to the increased gross margin, driven by higher revenues and positive contributions from the acquisitions of XRM Vision and eVerge, decreased selling, general and administrative expenses, including $1.5 million in severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel in the same quarter last year, and increased income tax recovery, partially offset by increased business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, due primarily to the eVerge Acquisition, increased amortization of intangibles, increased foreign exchange loss, and increased net financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. On a per share basis, this translated into basic and diluted earnings per share of nil for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $0.03 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
8.6 Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share

As explained above, increased gross margin, driven by higher revenues and positive contributions from the acquisitions of XRM Vision and eVerge, decreased selling, general and administrative expenses, and increased income tax recovery were partially offset by increased foreign exchange loss and increased net financial expenses. This translated into Adjusted Net Earnings per Share of $0.07 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.05 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

8.7 Segment Reporting
Operating income by segment refers to operating income before head office general and administrative expenses, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, depreciation and amortization and foreign exchange loss (gain), which are not considered when assessing the underlying financial performance of the reportable segments as they are not directly related to the segment’s operations. Head office general and administrative expenses are expenses and salaries related to centralized functions, such as global finance, legal, human capital, and technology teams, which are not allocated to segments.

9. Bookings and Backlog
Bookings during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $118.1 million, which translated into a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.95 for the quarter, compared to Bookings of $98.2 million and a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.81 for the same quarter last year. The Book-to-Bill Ratio would have been 1.06 if revenues from the two long-term contracts signed as part of an acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were excluded, compared to 0.92 for the same quarter last year. Bookings are affected by customer investment cycles and current economic conditions, causing some buyer hesitancy and longer sales cycles.
Bookings for the trailing twelve months amounted to $440.6 million as at June 30, 2025, which translated into a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.92, compared to Bookings of $467.4 million and a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.97 as at June 30, 2024. The Book-to-Bill Ratio would have been 1.03 if revenues from the two long-term contracts signed as part of an acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were excluded, compared to 1.12 as at June 30, 2024.
Management believes information regarding Bookings can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in the volume of new business over time. However, contracts typically provide termination clauses at the option of the customer. Furthermore, modifications of the scope of work and demand-driven usage may occur. As such, the amount of the contract actually realized could materially differ from the initial Bookings.
As at June 30, 2025 and 2024, Backlog represented approximately 15 months and 16 months of trailing twelve-month revenues, respectively. The Backlog includes revenue agreements for projects which may extend beyond twelve months.
Management believes that Backlog information can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in management’s best estimate of future revenues stemming from signed revenue agreements. However, contracts typically provide termination clauses at the option of the customer. Furthermore, modifications of the scope of work and demand-driven usage may occur. There can also be no assurance that subsequent cancellations or scope adjustments will not occur, that the Backlog will ultimately result in earnings, or when the related revenues and earnings from such Backlog will be recognized. As such, the amount of the contract actually realized could materially differ from the amount included in Backlog at a given date.

As at June 30, 2025, total assets and total liabilities and shareholders’ equity were $445.1 million, representing an increase of $19.2 million, or 4.5%, from $426.0 million as at March 31, 2025.
The $19.2 million increase in total assets was due primarily to increases of $15.2 million in goodwill and $0.7 million in intangibles, mainly due to the eVerge Acquisition, $7.6 million in unbilled revenues, mainly due to the timing of major client invoicing, $3.1 million in cash, and $1.3 million in tax credits receivable due to the credits earned in the quarter. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $8.1 million in accounts receivable and other receivables, mainly due to higher invoicing in the same quarter last year from significant go-live projects and an unfavorable foreign exchange rate impact, partially offset by the addition of accounts receivable and other receivables from the eVerge Acquisition, and a $0.8 million decrease in right-of-use assets as the Company continues to reduce its footprint and realize synergies.
For a discussion of the variance in cash, including the cash impact of the various assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, refer to section 11 titled "Liquidity and Capital Resources".
The increase in total liabilities and shareholders’ equity of $19.2 million consisted of a $19.9 million increase in liabilities, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in equity(a). The increase in total liabilities was due primarily to increases of $27.5 million in long-term debt, as discussed in Section 11.6, and $4.8 million in contingent consideration stemming from the eVerge Acquisition. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $6.9 million in deferred revenues, mainly due to the timing of invoicing, $3.1 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, mainly due to timing of payments, partially offset by the addition of holdbacks from the eVerge Acquisition, $1.4 million in lease liabilities, as the Company continues to reduce its footprint and realize synergies, and $1.0 million in deferred tax liabilities, mainly caused by the income tax recovery discussed in section 8.4.2.
For a discussion of the variance in long-term debt, refer to section 11.6 titled "Long-Term Debt and Net Debt".

Quarterly variances in Alithya's results can be attributed primarily to seasonality and customer investment cycles. The revenues generated by Alithya's consultants are impacted by the number of working days in a particular quarter, which can vary as a result of vacations and other paid time off and statutory holidays. Similarly, customer IT investment cycles are also affected by the seasonality of their own operations.
Over the eight-quarter period, revenues have fluctuated due to variations in IT investments in the financial services sector, organic growth in certain areas of the business, business acquisitions in recent quarters, and foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues has generally followed an increasing trend, mainly due to higher billing rates, increased efficiencies and use of our smart shoring capabilities, improved project performance, and a steady migration towards higher value-added services in existing areas of the business and through business acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses have fluctuated due to business acquisitions, net of synergies, and, in recent quarters, employee compensation expense, namely annual salary increases, variable compensation, and severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for management personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues have varied due to business acquisitions, cost structure reviews, and as a result of the variations in revenues discussed above. Other expenses, such as business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and net financial expenses, have also varied as a result of business acquisitions and the subsequent integration activities and requirements.

14. Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of Alithya’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which they occur and in any future periods affected.
The Q1 Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by all entities of the Company.
15. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued but Not Yet Effective
At the date of authorization of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the IASB but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the first reporting period following the date of application. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards, which could potentially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are detailed as follows:
IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 - Classification and measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The standard amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system. Furthermore, they clarify the description of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments and they introduce additional disclosures for financial instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows, and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 apply retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier application permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB published the new IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements that will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements.
IFRS 18 covers four main areas:
•Introduction of defined subtotals and categories in the statement of profit or loss;

•Introduction of requirements to improve aggregation and disaggregation;
•Introduction of disclosures about management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements; and
•Targeted improvements to the statement of cash flows by amending IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows.
IFRS 18 applies retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

17. Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the material information relating to the Company is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others, particularly during the period in which annual and interim filings are prepared, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by the Company under Canadian and U.S. securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under those laws and the related rules. The effectiveness of these DC&P, as defined under National Instrument 52-109 – Issuers’ annual and interim filings (“NI 52-109”) adopted by Canadian securities regulators and in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was evaluated under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer as at the end of the Company’s most recently completed financial year ended March 31, 2025. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s DC&P were not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined under NI 52-109 adopted by Canadian securities regulators and in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s ICFR are designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by management and other key employees, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR was evaluated under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer as at the end of the Company’s most recently completed financial year ended March 31, 2025 based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s ICFR was not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to the material weakness described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 | | 33 |
In connection with the Company’s evaluation of ICFR, management identified a material weakness related to the control activities in its revenue processes for fixed-fee and time and material arrangements applying the input method. Notwithstanding the existence of a material weakness, management has concluded that the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2025 present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with IFRS, and confirms that this material weakness did not result in (i) any material adjustments to the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and (ii) there were no changes to previously released financial results. However, as previously disclosed, because the material weakness creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, it was concluded that as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s ICFR was not effective.
Status on Management’s Remediation Plan
As previously reported under the heading “Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in our MD&A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, in connection with our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, we determined a material weakness existed related to the control activities in the Company's revenue processes.
During the fiscal year 2025, we prioritized training to control operators and fostered continuous improvement in our documentary evidence protocols. While there had been significant improvements throughout the 2025 fiscal year, our management is continuing to focus on remediation efforts such as to further improve control activities over the validation and documentation, at the required level of precision, of key assumptions applied in the expected labour cost to complete estimates used in the measure of progress to recognize revenues under fixed-fee and time and material arrangements applying the input method.
Management, with the oversight of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, continues to be committed to a strong internal control environment and intends to implement further remediation measures designed to ensure that the deficiencies in the Company’s ICFR that resulted in a material weakness are remediated. Although management expects that the remediation of deficiencies in key controls related to its revenue processes for fixed-fee and time and material arrangements applying the input method which resulted in the occurrence of a material weakness will be completed during the year ending March 31, 2026, there is no assurance as to when such remediation will be completed, nor if the remediation measures put in place will be effective to remediate such deficiencies. The material weakness will also not be considered fully remediated until the applicable internal controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these internal controls are operating effectively.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management recognizes that any DC&P and ICFR, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of their inherent limitations, DC&P and ICFR may not prevent or detect all errors or misstatements on a timely basis.

Limitations on Scope of design of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management has excluded from its assessment of the scope of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting the controls, policies and procedures of eVerge, which was acquired on May 31, 2025, the operating results of which are included in the Q1 Financial Statements of the Company. The scope limitation is in accordance with NI 52‑109 adopted by Canadian securities regulators and existing SEC guidance, which allow an issuer to limit its design of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures to exclude the controls, policies and procedures of a company acquired not more than 365 days before the end of the financial period to which the certificate relates.
Since the acquisition date, eVerge has contributed revenues of $3.1 million and generated net earnings of $0.7 million. In addition, as at June 30, 2025, eVerge's current assets and current liabilities represented approximately 4.8% and 4.3% of consolidated current assets and consolidated current liabilities, respectively. Non-current assets, which exclude intangible assets and goodwill from the acquisition, and non-current liabilities represented approximately 0.03% and 1.3% of consolidated non-current assets and consolidated non-current liabilities, respectively. The amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the date of the acquisition are described in Note 3 of the Q1 financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The effectiveness of ICFR as of March 31, 2025 has been audited by KPMG LLP, (“KPMG”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In view of the above, KPMG has expressed an adverse opinion on the Company’s ICFR as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the impacts of the ongoing remediation plan described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s ICFR during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
