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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Order Bookings, Net Debt 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, and iv) 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, and v) other items that may arise from time to time.
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
Net Debt is the total carrying amount of long-term debt including current portions, as presented in the 2025 Audited Financial Statements, less cash and excluding any lease liabilities. Net Debt 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, SG&A expenses were 6.8% of revenues compared to 7.3% for the same period in 2024, reflecting economies of scale as work volume grows.
Research and development (R&D)
R&D expenses are comprised of costs incurred on R&D activities that are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income in the period, offset by funding received on certain R&D programs. The Company expenses research costs as they are incurred. Development costs are expensed when they do not meet the asset capitalization criteria (e.g. when technical feasibility and/or a market has not yet been established), or the costs are not directly attributable to developing the asset.
Net R&D expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $14.7 million, representing an increase of $2.8 million (or 23.5%) from the same quarter in 2024 primarily driven by incremental R&D activities in our Satellite Systems segment as a result of the acquisition of SatixFy Communications Ltd. For the years ended December 31, 2025, net R&D expense of $38.1 million represents a $1.2 million (or 3.3%) increase over the same period in 2024. The increase in R&D expense is primarily due to the increase in activities in our Satellite Systems business as a result of the acquisition of SatixFy Communications Ltd.
Amortization of intangible assets
This line item includes the straight-line amortization of intangible assets recognized as part of acquisitions. Intangible assets are comprised of contractual backlog, customer relationships, proprietary technologies, software and the MDA trademark. These intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, ranging from 2 to 20 years. The amount expensed in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $31.3 million, representing an increase of $19.8 million (or 172.2%) compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase is attributable to the acquisition of SatixFy
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fourth Quarters and Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | M-18 |
Communications Ltd., with associated intangibles being amortized over 2 to 5 years. For the years ended December 31, 2025, the amortization expense of $84.6 million represents a $37.6 million (or 80.0%) increase compared with the same period in 2024. The year-over-year increase is attributable to the aforementioned amortization of intangible assets recognized as part of the acquisition of SatixFy Communication Ltd. on July 2, 2025.
Share-based compensation
In April 2021, the Company established an Omnibus Long-term Incentive Plan (Omnibus Plan). 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. The Company also has in place an Employee Share Trust Agreement arrangement, where eligible employees are issued shares held in a company trust (Trustee Shares) and released upon meeting prescribed conditions.
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.
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 fourth quarter of 2025 was $4.8 million, which represents an increase of $1.0 million (or 26.3%) over the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase is mainly due to an increase in the employee population enrolled in the ESPP program.
Share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 was $17.7 million, which represents an increase of $5.3 million (or 42.7%) over the same period in 2024. This increase is mainly due to the introduction of the ESPP in Q2 2024.
Other income (expenses)
Other income (expenses) includes amounts related to unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains (losses), unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments and other financial adjustments not related to our core business practices.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, other expense was $10.4 million, comprising of $17.4 million of foreign exchange loss (mainly unrealized foreign exchange loss), net of $7.0 million unrealized gain on financial instruments. The foreign exchange loss is due to the appreciation of Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar. The unrealized gain on financial instruments is due to the change in fair value of investment in equity securities and in foreign exchange hedges. During the fourth quarter of 2024, other income was $8.7 million, comprising mainly of $8.8 million in foreign exchange gain.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, other income was $3.8 million, comprising $2.2 million of foreign exchange loss, $5.0 million unrealized gain on financial instruments, and $1.0 million of other income. The foreign exchange loss is due to the appreciation of Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar. The unrealized gain on financial instruments is due to the change in fair value of investment in equity securities. During the years ended December 31, 2024, other income was $25.2 million, comprising mainly of $17.5 million of foreign exchange gain, $1.2 million of unrealized gain on financial instruments, $5.8 million of financial gain related to the sale of the Company’s terrestrial nuclear services assets in Q1 2024.
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 fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.7 million, compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly reflecting impact of tax interest true-ups. Finance income for the years ended December 31, 2025 was $7.8 million, compared to $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, driven by higher cash balances, net of lower tax interest true-ups.

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 fourth quarter of 2025 were $3.6 million, net of $1.7 million of capitalized interest expense. Finance costs for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $9.6 million, net of $1.4 million of capitalized interest expense. The year-over-year decrease of $6.0 million is driven primarily by non-recurring cost to settle hedges in the same period in 2024.
Finance costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 was $17.0 million, net of $3.0 million of capitalized interest expense. Finance costs for the years ended December 31, 2024 was $28.0 million, net of $13.7 million of capitalized interest expense. The year-over-year decrease of $11.0 million is due to lower borrowing costs and non-recurring cost to settle hedges in 2024 partially offset by lower capitalized interest expense in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2025.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense represents current and deferred taxes. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $8.5 million on income before income taxes of $32.5 million representing an effective tax rate of 26.2% . For the fourth quarter of 2024, income tax expense was $11.3 million recorded on income before income taxes of $36.4 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31.0%. The higher effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the impact of non-deductible permanent costs and the non-recognition of certain tax assets related to the period.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $43.9 million on income before income taxes of $152.4 million and representing an effective tax rate of 28.8%. For the years ended December 31, 2024, income tax expense was $31.6 million recorded on income before income taxes of $111.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 28.5%. The effective tax rate was comparable between the two years. The effective tax rates of both years were higher than the statutory tax rate due to the impact of the non-deductible permanent costs and the non-recognition of tax assets.
Net income
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $24.0 million compared to $25.1 million of net income reported in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease of $1.1 million (or 4.4%) in Q4 2025 was driven primarily by the impact of foreign exchange loss offset by the increase in operating income quarter over quarter.
Net income for the years ended December 31, 2025 was $108.5 million compared to $79.4 million of net income reported in the years ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase of $29.1 million (or 36.6%) was driven by higher operating income compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company as at December 31, 2025 were $3,356.2 million, representing a $758.7 million increase from $2,597.5 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase in asset balances reflects our continued investments to support our growth initiatives both organically and via M&A and the commensurate increase in our property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.
Total liabilities as at December 31, 2025 of $2,001.2 million increased by $579.7 million compared with $1,421.5 million as at December 31, 2024 primarily driven by the increase in our long-term debt, related to our recent acquisition of SatixFy Communications Ltd., higher deferred tax liabilities, increased accounts payable and increased contract liabilities.
The following table represents our working capital position as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| As at | ||||||||
| (in millions of Canadian dollars) | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||

| Current liabilities | 1,317.8 | 1,091.0 | ||||||
| Net Working Capital | $ | (855.3 | ) | $ | (631.2 | ) | ||
Our Net Working Capital decreased by $224.1 million from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. This decrease is largely due to higher contract liabilities and accounts payable offset partially by higher trade receivables at December 31, 2025 relative to December 31, 2024.
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.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the net decrease in cash was $43.7 million compared to a net increase in cash of $27.5 million for Q4 2024. Operating activities in the latest quarter generated $50.6 million of cash compared to $375.8 million in Q4 2024. The year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow is primarily driven by lower working capital contributions in the latest quarter. Cash used in investing activities was $80.1 million in Q4 2025 comprised of $70.1 million related to capital expenditures and $10.0 million related to the Company’s investment in Maritime Launch Systems. In Q4 2024, cash used in investing activities was $61.0 million related to capital expenditures. Cash outflows from financing activities in the latest quarter were $20.9 million which reflects net repayments made to our revolving

credit facility and transaction costs related to loans and borrowing. In Q4 2024 cash used in financing activities was $288.0 million driven by payments made against our revolving credit facility.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, the net decrease in cash was $14.7 million compared to a net increase of $144.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024. Operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2025 generated $407.5 million of cash compared to $812.7 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year decrease in operating cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2025 is primarily driven by lower working capital contributions due to higher advance payments received in 2024. Cash used in investing activities was $614.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, and was mainly comprised of $242.2 million related to capital expenditures, net of government grants, and payments of 362.6 million related to the acquisition of SatixFy Communications Ltd and to the release of a final holdback related to 2023 acquisition of SatixFy Space Systems UK Ltd. in the second quarter of 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $227.0 million and comprised of $197.9 million related to capital expenditures, $27.3 million related to the acquisition of SatixFy Space Systems UK Ltd., $9.2 million related to the Company’s equity investment in Starlab Space LLC, offset by proceeds of $7.4 million related to the disposal of our terrestrial nuclear services assets. Cash flows from financing activities in the years ended December 31, 2025 were an inflow of $196.3 million driven primarily by the bond issuance in quarter compared with an outflow of $436.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2024, which reflects payments made against our revolving credit facility.
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.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial assets include cash, trade and other receivables, investments in equity securities, and derivative assets. Financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt, and derivative liabilities.
The Company's activities expose its financial instruments to a variety of risks: interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, and credit risk. Risk management is carried out by the Company by identifying and evaluating the financial risks inherent within its operations. The Company's overall risk management activities seek to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company was exposed to interest rate risk from fluctuations in interest rates on its floating rate debt on its senior revolving credit facility.
The Company manages interest rate risk by monitoring the mix of fixed and floating rate debt in the respective environment and takes action as necessary to maintain an appropriate balance considering current market conditions.
During the year-ended December 31, 2024, the Company had 3 interest rate swap contracts, expiring December 15, 2027, to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under its senior revolving facility. Under the swap contracts, the Company paid interest at a fixed rate of 3.46% for $150.0 million and 4.14% for $75.0 million of debt, and received interest at a variable rate equal to the 3-month CDOR for each 90 day period. As at December 31, 2024, the Company repaid all of its borrowings and exited all related interest rate swap contracts. As a result of the derecognition of hedges, the Company reversed all amounts previously recorded into other comprehensive income of $5.7 million, before tax, to arrive at an ending nil fair value balance in the statement of financial position. A total of $4.7 million was paid to settle these hedges, recognized under finance cost on the statement of comprehensive income. At December 31, 2024, the Company has no interest rate swap contracts as there were no external borrowings under its senior revolving credit facility.
As at December 31, 2025, there was 30.0 million of total borrowings that was subject to floating interest rates (December 31, 2024 - nil). Based on the total outstanding borrowings as at December 31, 2025, an increase or decrease in 1.0% in the average interest rate on our borrowings would have resulted in insignificant changes to income before taxes. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at the time.
Liquidity Risk
The Company’s liquidity risk is the risk it may not be able to meet its contractual obligations associated with financial liabilities as they come due. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and access to credit facilities. The Company’s short-term cash requirements are primarily to fund working capital, with medium term requirements to service and repay debt, and invest in capital and intangible assets, and research and development for growth initiatives. Cash is also used to finance other long-term strategic initiatives. For the foreseeable future, the Company believes that these principal sources of liquidity are sufficient to maintain the Company’s capacity and to meet planned growth and development activities.

Foreign currency exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales contracts, purchase contracts as well as cash, receivable, and payable balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company’s contracting entity. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are United States dollar (USD) and Euro, with USD representing the more significant exposure. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk on the net assets of its foreign operations.
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 December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts. 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.
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that counterparties may default on their financial obligations to the Company. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk through its trade and other receivables and unbilled receivables.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fourth Quarters and Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | M-25 |
The Company’s credit exposure through receivables relates to a diverse group of customers, including government customers, in multiple geographic regions purchasing a wide variety of products and services from the Company, and is therefore mitigated by a reduced concentration of risk. The due date of these amounts can vary by agreement but in general balances over 90 days are considered past due.
The Company applies the simplified model of recognizing lifetime expected credit losses for all trade, unbilled and other receivables. In monitoring credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether the customer program is funded by a government or a non-government entity, the Company’s credit history with the customer, and existence of previous or current financial challenges. Credit limits or maximum exposures under revenue contracts are identified, approved and monitored.
Set out below is the movement in the allowance for credit losses on trade and other receivables and unbilled receivables:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has off-balance sheet arrangements in the form of standby letters of credit used mainly in connection with obligations relating to performance and payment guarantees of customer contracts. As at December 31, 2025, the aggregate gross potential liability related to the Company’s letters of credit was approximately $0.7 million (December 31, 2024 – $6.8 million).
As at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES
The Company’s related parties are its key management personnel. Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for overseeing, planning, directing, and controlling its activities and consist of the members of the board and the senior members of the management team. In 2024, the Company revised its assessment of key management personnel. As a result, key management personnel consist of leaders reporting directly to the Company’s CEO and Company’s Board of Directors. For the years ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s compensation expense incurred in relation to its key management personnel was $16.7 million (December 31, 2024: $14.5 million), which consisted of short-term, post-employment benefits and share-based compensation.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES, AND JUDGMENTS
The Company’s 2025 Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is disclosed in note 3 of the 2025 Audited Financial Statements.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fourth Quarters and Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | M-26 |
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements included the following:
| · | Revenue: The Company recognizes revenues from fixed-price contracts and cost-plus contracts with ceilings using a percentage of completion method based on the ratio of contract costs incurred to date to total estimated costs. On a monthly basis, the Company reviews the costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete for each project to determine whether the percentage of completion remains appropriate. Estimating total costs requires judgments to be made around items including, but not limited to, labour productivity, complexity and scope of work to be performed, cost of materials, the length of time to complete the work, and execution by subcontractors. This estimate directly affects revenue recognized in each reporting period as well as the balances of unbilled receivables and contract liabilities at the reporting date. Changes in estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis and could lead to reversals to revenues. |
| · | Impairment of non-financial assets: The value in use (VIU) of cash generating units at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment has been estimated using the forecasts prepared by management for the next five years. In preparing the forecasts, management uses significant assumptions about revenue growth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and terminal growth rate. These estimates are based on past experience and management’s expectations of future changes in the market and planned growth initiatives. Actual results could vary from these estimated future cash flows which may cause significant adjustments to the assets in subsequent reporting periods. Estimation uncertainty in calculating the VIU also include the determination of appropriate discount rates. |
| · | Investment tax credits: Investment tax credits, whether or not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, may be carried forward to reduce future Canadian Federal and Provincial income taxes payable. The Company applies judgment when determining whether the reasonable assurance threshold has been met to recognize investment tax credits in the consolidated financial statements. The Company must interpret eligibility requirements in accordance with Canadian income tax laws and must assess whether future taxable income will be available against which the investment tax credits can be utilized. For investment tax credits that have not met the criteria to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, management continually reviews these interpretations and assessments and recognizes the investment tax credits relating to prior period expenses in the period when the reasonable assurance criteria have been met. Any changes in the interpretations and assessments could have an impact on the amount and timing of investment tax credits recognized in the consolidated financial statements. |
| · | Income taxes: The calculation of current and deferred income taxes requires management to make certain judgments in interpreting tax rules and regulations. The application of judgment is also required to evaluate whether the Company can recover a deferred tax asset based on management's assessment of existing tax laws, estimates of future profitability, and tax planning strategies. |
| · | Business Combination: In a business combination, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of proprietary technology intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of SatixFy Communications Ltd. using the replacement cost method. The replacement cost method is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an intangible asset based on the estimated costs required to create or acquire a comparable asset at the transaction date. Significant estimates and judgments used to estimate the fair value of the acquired intangible assets include factors such as time and costs to redevelop, obsolescence, expected developer's profit margins, and opportunity costs. Changes in these estimates and judgments could result in significant changes to the valuation of the intangible assets. |
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
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fourth Quarters and Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | M-27 |
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. Management is currently assessing the impact of the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on its consolidated financial statements.
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 on its consolidated financial statements.

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 December 31, 2025, 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 in July
| MDA Space Ltd. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fourth Quarters and Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | M-28 |
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 Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. 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 December 31, 2025, 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 year-ended December 31, 2025 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.
