Fair value
The Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial assets and financial liabilities using a fair value hierarchy. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value. The different levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Other techniques for which inputs are based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recognized fair value that require the Company to use its own assumptions about market participant assumptions.
The Company estimated the fair value of its financial instruments as described below.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables and accrued liabilities is considered to be equal to their respective carrying values due to their short-term maturities.
Recurring fair value measurements
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts was determined based on Level 2 inputs, which included period-end mid-market quotations for each underlying contract as calculated by the financial institution with which the Company has transacted. The quotations represent the discounted future settlement amounts based on current market rates.
The fair value of merchant cash advances was determined based on Level 3 inputs by calculating the present value of the future estimated cash flows based on the terms of the agreements. Key assumptions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 include an average repayment period of 7 months, an average discount rate over the repayment period of 14%, and amounts deemed uncollectible, which amounts include write-offs, of $12,205. No reasonably possible change in the key assumptions would lead to a significant change in the fair value of merchant cash advances due to their expected short-term repayment periods.
The movement in the merchant cash advances is as follows:

Credit and concentration risk
The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and merchant cash advances. Credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents is managed by maintaining balances only with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company does not hold any collateral as security. The Company does not generally require a guarantee from its customers for trade receivables.
Due to the Company’s diverse customer base, there is no particular concentration of credit risk related to the Company’s trade receivables and merchant cash advances. Moreover, trade receivables and merchant cash advances are managed and analyzed on an ongoing basis to ensure timely collection of amounts.
The Company maintains a loss allowance for a portion of trade receivables when collection becomes doubtful on the basis described in note 3. As described in that note, the ECL includes forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, potential effects from uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment on the Company's credit risk have been considered and have resulted in an increase to its allowance for ECLs from what the allowance would have been without factoring in these effects. The Company continues to monitor macroeconomic conditions and any resulting impacts on the Company's credit risk.
Changes in the loss allowance were as follows:

Liquidity risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of being unable to honor its financial commitments by the deadlines set, under the terms of such commitments and at a reasonable price. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.

The Company has $453,906 of cash and cash equivalents as well as a credit facility available as at March 31, 2026, demonstrating its liquidity and its ability to cover upcoming financial liabilities.
The Company can be required to hold a defined amount of cash as collateral under the terms of certain lease agreements and as a guarantee for other obligations. Cash deposits held by the Company that have restrictions governing their use are classified as restricted cash, current or long-term, based on the remaining length of the restriction.
Foreign exchange risk
The main currencies which expose the Company to foreign exchange risk due to financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies are the Canadian dollar, the Euro, the Australian dollar, the British pound sterling and the New Zealand dollar. The following table provides a summary of the Company's foreign exchange exposures, after taking into account relevant foreign exchange forward contracts, expressed in thousands of US dollars:

The table below shows the immediate change in loss before income taxes of a 1% strengthening in the average exchange rate of significant currencies to which the Company has transaction exposure for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The sensitivity associated with a 1% weakening of a particular currency would be equal and opposite. This assumes that each currency moves in isolation.

Foreign exchange forward contracts
The Company's policy is to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange risk by entering into derivative instruments. The Company has hedged some of its foreign currency exchange risk. The Company has entered into multiple foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company's currency pair used for cash flow hedges is US dollar / Canadian dollar. The Company
does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company's hedging program does not mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on its revenue.
Cash flow hedges
The Company has a hedging program to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on future cash flows and earnings. Under this program the Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and designated those hedges as cash flow hedges.
The notional principal of the foreign exchange contracts was $97,500 CAD as at March 31, 2026 (2025 - $113,750 CAD).

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will have a negative impact on earnings and cash flows. Certain of the Company’s cash earns interest. The Company’s trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities do not bear interest. The Company is not exposed to material interest rate risk.
Share price risk
Accrued payroll taxes on share-based compensation (social costs) are payroll taxes associated with share-based compensation that the Company is subject to in various countries in which it operates. Social costs are accrued at each reporting period based on inputs including, but not limited to, the number of stock options and share awards outstanding, the vesting of the stock options and share awards, the exercise price, and the Company’s share price. Changes in the accrual are recognized in direct cost of revenues and operating expenses. An increase in share price will increase the accrual for social costs, and a decrease in share price will result in a decrease in the accrual for social costs, all other things being equal, including the number of stock options and share awards outstanding and exercise price remaining constant.
