- Free cash flow(1) of
$1.3 million in Q2 and negative$52.3 million year‑to‑date compared to$46.0 million and$35.9 million , respectively, in the same comparable prior year periods. The decrease in free cash flow(1) for the second quarter is mainly attributable to lower cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in the year‑to‑date is mainly attributable to lower cash provided by operating activities and higher proceeds from sale of property in the prior year. - Net debt to segment profit(1) was 6.70 times as at
February 28, 2026 , up from 6.01 times atAugust 31, 2025 , as a result of the decrease in segment profit(1) and increase in the amount drawn under the revolving credit facility, offset by lower lease liabilities. - As of
February 28, 2026 , the Company had$36.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and$35.0 million available to be drawn under its Revolving Facility. - On
March 24, 2026 , Corus received an order from theOntario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) to proceed with its previously announced recapitalization transaction (the "Recapitalization Transaction"), pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

Free cash flow, segment profit and net debt to segment profit do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. The Company reports on these because they are key measures used to evaluate performance. For definitions and explanations, see the discussion under the KeyPerformanceIndicatorsandNon-GAAPFinancialMeasures section of the Second Quarter 2026 Report to Shareholders and/or Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and six months ended
A conference call with Corus senior management is scheduled for
Significant risks and uncertainties affecting the Company and its business are discussed under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" and "Seasonal Fluctuations" in the 2025 MD&A, as well as in the accompanying quarterly MD&A included in the Second Quarter 2026 Report to Shareholders under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties". These discussions are important to understanding the assumptions and factors which may affect the Company's outlook and results and are incorporated by reference.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release includes the non‑GAAP or non‑IFRS financial measures of segment profit (loss), segment profit margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders, adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share, net debt to segment profit, as well as supplementary financial measures not presented in the financial statements such as new platform revenue. Non‑GAAP or non‑IFRS measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternate to, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non‑GAAP or non‑IFRS measures used by other companies. In addition, these non‑GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Non‑GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company's reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The non‑GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, IFRS financial results. A reconciliation of the Company's non‑GAAP measures is included in the Company's most recent Report to Shareholders for the three and six months ended

These factors also include factors and assumptions relating to, or impacting, the execution of the Company's proposed Recapitalization Transaction, including, without limitation: approval of the Recapitalization Transaction, including by applicable regulatory authorities, and stock exchanges; the ability to complete, execute, and implement the Recapitalization Transaction in the time and manner contemplated; the anticipated or expected effect or impacts of the Recapitalization Transaction on the Company and/or its stakeholders; the obligations and abilities of third parties to close or complete actions as part of the Recapitalization Transaction; the anticipated reduction of the Company's debt and related costs and interest expenses (including the amounts thereof); the exchange of existing equity and debt for new equity and debt; and the dilution or changes to the Company's outstanding shares in number or value and markets for them.
