EXECUTIVE UPDATE
•Following the completion of a comprehensive review of its entire portfolio against its long-term value creation criteria, management has initiated a program to transform the Company's fixed cost structure over time (the "Fixed Cost Transformation Program"). The review included consideration of operating footprint, cost structure and capital allocation priorities, resulting from management's application of a disciplined cash return on investment framework across the organization. The review reinforced management's confidence in the Company's core strengths and position in critical growth markets, and identified opportunities to simplify the Company's operating structure, optimize its global footprint, reduce fixed costs and improve returns on invested capital, while better aligning it with its current business profile and long-term growth objectives. Management believes these meaningful structural changes can contribute approximately half of the margin expansion required to achieve the Company's current long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin target of 15%.
This multi-phase program, which is expected to be completed in approximately 18 months, is not intended to alter the Company’s strategic focus on services or the end markets it serves. Rather, the objective is to reshape the cost structure of the business so that resources can be allocated more efficiently in support of the Company’s long-term growth strategy.
As the initial phase of the Fixed Cost Transformation Program, management identified excess capacity across certain European facilities based on current and expected demand for customer programs required to be executed within Europe (the "European Footprint Consolidation"). This

European Footprint Consolidation will involve the transfer of select technical capabilities to other ATS facilities where existing capacity and capabilities can support customer requirements more efficiently. Where appropriate, customer programs may also be supported through ATS’ broader global footprint. Given the nature of the facility and reorganization activities involved, implementation and the realization of the related benefits are expected to build as the program actions are implemented over approximately 18 months. Related restructuring costs will be disclosed as the plans progress. The annual costs that can be reduced in connection with this initial phase are expected to be in the range of $20 million, followed by additional cost reduction opportunities on the remainder of the Fixed Cost Transformation Program, including opportunities to simplify the Company's operating footprint and reduce fixed costs in other parts of the business. Those initiatives remain under evaluation and will be communicated as plans are finalized and approved. The initial phase of cost reductions is expected to represent approximately 30% of the savings opportunity from the broader Fixed Cost Transformation Program.
•Fiscal 2027 performance expectations: During the first quarter, the Company made progress on several commercial and operating initiatives. Gross margin on adjusted revenues, excluding adjustment items, improved both sequentially and year-over-year. The Company continues to action its previously disclosed reorganization and restructuring activities which consist of workforce reductions and facility consolidation initiatives in its former transportation-related business and other businesses. Certain of these restructuring activities have taken longer to implement than previously anticipated as the Company works through the applicable regional requirements, and as a result, a portion of the expected costs has shifted into the second and third quarters of fiscal 2027.
Management continues to have conviction in the Company's pipeline across its core end markets, which is supported by its broad base of differentiated technologies, products and engineering know-how, and strong customer relationships. Timing delays in certain previously anticipated large customer awards influence the mix and volume of organic revenue growth1 in fiscal 2027, temporarily reducing the Order Backlog available for near-term conversion. As a result, achieving modest organic revenue growth in fiscal 2027 will depend on stronger Order Bookings activity over the balance of the year and the pace of project execution of such Order Bookings during the fiscal year. Despite these near-term timing considerations, the Company continues to see encouraging signs across parts of the business. While overall life sciences performance is affected by lower GLP‑1-related demand, Order Bookings across the remainder of the life sciences portfolio increased at a high-single-digit rate versus the prior year, and the trailing-twelve-month book-to-bill ratio2 excluding GLP-1-related activity remained strong at approximately 1.1:1, supporting management's confidence in the underlying market environment. ATS also continues to see increasing contributions from revenues from services and remains well positioned to participate in the long-term growth of the nuclear and radiopharmaceutical markets, although customer awards in these markets can be subject to variability in timing and magnitude. The Company remains focused on driving cash returns through disciplined investment decisions and a consistent focus on capital efficiency across the portfolio.

reduction activities, including the Fixed Cost Transformation Program, support the Company’s achievement of its long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin target of 15%. Management intends to provide updates as the initiatives progress.
•First quarter performance summary:
◦First quarter revenues were $693.7 million. On an adjusted basis, revenues were $698.3 million and decreased by 5.2% year-over-year, due to a combination of timing of project execution, a more normalized level of GLP-1-related activities compared to the prior-year period, and the impacts of the restructuring activities within the Company's transportation businesses, partially offset by growth in energy and revenues from services.
◦Order Bookings in the first quarter were $656 million, compared to $693 million in the first quarter last year, a decrease of 5.3%. The decrease primarily reflected lower nuclear refurbishment order activity compared to the prior-year period, primarily based on customer ordering cycles in this space, as expected. Some anticipated Order Bookings in the first quarter were impacted by the timing of customer decisions in other end markets, with expected Order Bookings shifting into future periods. The funnel in the Company's chosen markets remains healthy, despite this variability in timing and magnitude of Order Bookings.
◦Order Backlog of $1,889 million at period-end was 8.7% lower than the first quarter last year. Order Backlog remains distributed across strategic global markets and regulated industries and provides good revenue visibility. The Company maintains its longer-term goal of growing its revenues greater than market growth rates in its chosen markets.
◦Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues1 was 14.3%, an improvement from 17.3% in the corresponding quarter last year. The Company had a net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio1 at June 28, 2026 of 2.9 times, and management expects the Company to continue to operate within its targeted leverage ratio of 2.0 to 3.0 times throughout fiscal 2027. The Company may temporarily operate above this range in the event a capital deployment opportunity arises that meets its disciplined criteria for shareholder value creation, with a clear path to returning to management's targeted leverage ratio within a specified timeframe. The Company has been actively cultivating acquisition opportunities and has a healthy pipeline across a number of its end markets.
◦Adjusted earnings from operations for the quarter were $68.1 million (9.8% adjusted earnings from operations margin), compared to $78.6 million (10.7% adjusted earnings from operations margin) a year ago, primarily due to lower revenues and the delayed realization of benefits from certain restructuring actions.
ORDER BOOKINGS BY QUARTER
First quarter of fiscal 2027 Order Bookings were $656 million, a 5.3% year-over-year decrease, reflecting a 6.9% decline in organic Order Bookings, partially offset by the positive impact of 1.6% from foreign exchange translation. By market, Order Bookings in life sciences increased compared to the prior-year period, reflecting continued customer capital investment across a broad range of applications. Order Bookings within life sciences remain well diversified, including orders for radiopharmaceutical applications and for a range of pharmaceutical and medical device automation solutions. To reflect management’s decision to reposition certain transportation businesses to serve other specialized industrial applications, the Company will report “industrial & consumer” in place for the separate transportation and consumer verticals previously reported. Order Bookings decreased in industrial & consumer compared to the prior period a year ago, primarily due to the timing of customer projects and the Company's ongoing portfolio repositioning towards opportunities that support improved profitability

and capital efficiency. Order Bookings in food & beverage increased compared to the prior-year period due to the timing of customer orders in addition to the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Order Bookings in energy decreased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the timing of customer projects, specifically for nuclear refurbishment projects, and due to strong nuclear refurbishment-related activity in the prior-year period that benefited from several large project awards. Given the nature of the nuclear market, Order Bookings can fluctuate based on the timing of customer investment decisions and project awards. Organic Order Bookings and Organic Order Bookings growth are supplementary financial measures — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."

The life sciences funnel remains healthy and diversified, with opportunities across strategic submarkets such as pharmaceuticals, radiopharmaceuticals and medical devices, partially offsetting lower levels of GLP‑1-related activity. Management continues to identify opportunities with both new and existing customers across diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, isotope production, wearable devices, automated pharmacy solutions, contact lenses and pre-filled syringes, as well as integrated life sciences solutions that leverage capabilities from across the Company. Management continues to see strong customer interest in specialized radiopharmaceutical production, containment and automation solutions, supported primarily by increasing adoption of therapeutic applications and ongoing investment in isotope production. As programs advance from clinical development towards commercialization, management continues to observe broader market activity aimed at securing capacity, enhancing supply-chain resilience and supporting reliable, compliant operations in highly regulated environments. ATS' differentiated capabilities in radiopharmaceutical containment systems, integrated automation and lifecycle support position the Company to participate in multiple phases of customer investment across the radiopharmaceutical value chain. Market conditions for ATS' laboratory equipment businesses remain stable overall. ATS continues to strengthen its coordinated go-to-market approach, with initiatives focused on broader market coverage, improved customer engagement and development of a pipeline of opportunities.
6
Funnel activity in industrial & consumer is stable. While discretionary consumer spending may influence the timing of certain customer investments, the Company continues to broaden its opportunity pipeline across specialized industrial applications. These opportunities allow ATS to deploy its differentiated automation, testing and high-speed assembly capabilities into higher-value areas such as data center infrastructure, warehouse packaging automation and other mission-critical production environments.
Funnel activity in food & beverage remains strong despite lower order activity in certain markets, particularly global tomato processing, following elevated investment levels in recent years. ATS continues to see opportunities across its core and adjacent end markets and is expanding its opportunity set beyond tomato processing into fresh fruit processing, secondary processing and packaging applications. In addition, customers' equipment replacement requirements may support investment activity even during periods of softer underlying demand. Through its market position and capabilities, management believes it is well positioned to participate as customer investment activity improves over time.
Funnel activity in energy remains strong, supported by industry investment in energy security, infrastructure modernization and new power generation capacity to support data center needs. Within nuclear, ATS has a proven track record supporting refurbishment and life-extension programs for CANDU reactors and is engaged in front-end engineering, design and prototype-equipment development for small modular reactors and conventional new builds. As customer programs advance, ATS can support automation for modular fabrication and assembly, fuel fabrication and related manufacturing processes, as well as fuel handling and other specialized testing systems designed for reliable and repeatable operation in high-risk environments. Fuel fabrication represents a complementary opportunity as customers invest in the facilities and equipment required ahead of reactor deployment. Based on management’s assessment of where ATS’ capabilities can be deployed, the Company’s addressable opportunity on a reactor program may represent a low-single-digit percentage of total customer capital expenditure, depending on the application.
After-sales revenues and reoccurring revenues, which ATS defines as revenues from ancillary products and services associated with equipment sales, and revenues from customers who purchase non-customized ATS products at regular intervals, are expected to provide some balance to customers' capital expenditure cycles. Management expects reoccurring revenues to be in the range of 25%-35% on a trailing-twelve-month basis and remains focused on expanding this proportion of the business over time.
Across its end markets, ATS’ competitive position is reinforced by a broad base of differentiated technologies, products and engineering know-how developed across the portfolio. These capabilities include precision and high-speed assembly systems for medical-device applications, modular sterile-filling platforms that integrate containment, inspection and magnetic conveyance, and adaptable automation platforms that can be deployed across emerging industrial applications. The Company is also advancing practical artificial intelligence and data-enabled automation applications combining machine vision, data, analytics and machine learning with automated equipment and lifecycle service offerings. Current applications include advanced inspection and sorting, digital tools for regulated workflows, and solutions intended to improve equipment performance, maintenance and operator effectiveness. These capabilities are at varying stages of development and are expected to support higher-value automation solutions and lifecycle service opportunities across complex and regulated applications.
Customers seeking to de-risk or enhance supply chain resiliency, address skilled worker shortages or combat higher labour costs present ongoing and future opportunities for ATS. Management believes that the underlying trends driving customer demand for ATS solutions, including growing labour
7
constraints, production onshoring or reshoring and the need for scalable, high-quality, energy-efficient production, remain favourable. In addition, funnel growth in markets where sustainability requirements are a focus for customers — including nuclear and grid battery storage, as well as consumer goods packaging — provides ATS with opportunities to use its capabilities to respond to customer needs, such as global and regional requirements to reduce carbon emissions.
See "Executive Update" for management's discussion on timing dynamics associated with Order Bookings, organic revenue growth in fiscal 2027 and earnings from operations margin. The Company continues to have high conviction in the breadth and ongoing diversification of its opportunity pipeline, including continued momentum in radiopharmaceutical and nuclear markets and growth in service-related revenues. Over the long term, ATS' objective remains to grow revenue at a rate that exceeds the underlying growth of its chosen end markets, supported by its technology differentiation, global scale and disciplined execution of the ABM.
Order Backlog of $1,889 million is expected to help mitigate some of the impact of quarterly variability in Order Bookings on revenues in the short term. The Company's Order Backlog includes several large enterprise programs that have longer periods of performance and therefore longer revenue recognition cycles, particularly in life sciences. In the second quarter of fiscal 2027, management expects to generate revenues in the range of $660 million to $700 million, reflecting the lower opening Order Backlog available for conversion. This revenue estimate is calculated each quarter based on management's assessment of project schedules across all customer contracts in Order Backlog, expectations for faster-turn product and services revenues, expected delivery timing of third-party equipment and operational capacity.
The Company's initiatives to improve adjusted earnings from operations margin include restructuring and reorganization programs (see "Executive Update" and "Reorganization and Transformation Activity").
A portion of the savings generated through the Company's restructuring and reorganization programs is being reinvested in higher-growth areas, including the Company's radiopharmaceutical- and related businesses, where management sees significant long-term opportunity. These investments are intended to strengthen ATS' competitive position in markets supported by long-term secular growth drivers while maintaining a disciplined approach to cost and capital allocation. As noted above, the Company's long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin target of 15% remains unchanged.
Management’s approach to long-term value creation is centered on disciplined execution of the Company’s Growth Algorithm, which is designed to drive sustainable growth in per-share cash generation. The Growth Algorithm combines organic growth, disciplined acquisitions, margin expansion and improved working-capital efficiency, while supporting continued investment in differentiated technologies, lifecycle services and strategic acquisitions. Together, these priorities are intended to enhance the quality, resilience and growth of the Company’s earnings and cash flow profile. Management also considers return on invested capital and cash return on investment as part of its capital allocation framework. This framework is intended to balance growth, profitability and capital efficiency across organic investments, acquisitions and operational improvement initiatives, with the objective of maximizing long-term shareholder value.
Supplier lead times are generally acceptable across key categories; however, inflationary or other cost increases (see "Tariffs"), and price and lead-time volatility may continue to disrupt the timing and progress of the Company's margin expansion efforts and may affect revenue recognition. Over time, achieving management's margin target assumes that the Company will successfully implement its margin expansion initiatives, and that such initiatives will result in improvements to its adjusted
8
earnings from operations margin that offset these shorter-term pressures (see "Forward-Looking Statements" for a description of the risks underlying the achievement of the margin target in future periods).
The timing and geographies of customer capital expenditure decisions on larger opportunities, including as a result of their evaluations of tariffs, can cause variability in Order Bookings from quarter to quarter (see "Tariffs"). Revenues in a given period are dependent on a combination of the volume of outstanding projects the Company is contracted to perform, the size and duration of those projects, and the timing of project activities including design, assembly, testing, and installation. Given the specialized nature of the Company's offerings, the size and scope of projects vary based on customer needs. The Company seeks to achieve revenue growth organically and by identifying strategic acquisition opportunities that provide access to attractive end markets and new products and technologies and deliver hurdle-rate returns.
As management increases its focus on cash returns, improving non-cash working capital velocity and asset utilization more broadly are clear priorities within the Company’s operating models. These priorities are intended to support stronger cash generation and improved returns on invested capital. The Company's long-term goal is to maintain its investment in non-cash working capital as a percentage of annualized revenues below 15%, although fluctuations are expected on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and credit available under operating and long-term credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in non-cash working capital and capital assets, and to fund strategic investment plans including some potential acquisitions. Acquisitions could result in additional debt or equity financing requirements for the Company. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is a non-IFRS ratio — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
The Company continues to make progress with its plans to integrate acquired companies, and expects to realize cost and revenue synergies consistent with announced integration plans.
Reorganization and Transformation Activity
Fixed Cost Transformation Program
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company initiated its Fixed Cost Transformation Program, including the initial European Footprint Consolidation phase. See “Executive Update” for additional details regarding the initiative.
Restructuring costs
Separately, the Company previously disclosed expected restructuring costs of approximately $10 million to $15 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, with $5 million related to transportation-related divisions, and the remainder related to other parts of the business. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, restructuring expenses of $5.7 million were recorded in relation to these activities, with $1.6 million of this amount related to transportation. As noted above, some restructuring activities have taken longer to implement than previously anticipated and as a result, a portion of the expected costs has shifted into the second and third quarters of fiscal 2027.
Other reorganization activities
The Company previously disclosed realignment of the cost structure and capital needs of its transportation-related businesses, including consolidation of its remaining transportation-focused standalone divisions, and addressing excess facility capacity. Two facilities in the U.S. and one facility in Germany are currently being held for sale, with one of the facilities in the U.S. to be structured as a sale and leaseback transaction. The proceeds from the sale of these facilities, expected in fiscal 2027, are expected to fund the previously announced restructuring activities and other related costs
9
associated with exiting these businesses and concluding the Company's obligations with respect to legacy customer contracts.
As part of the transportation-related reorganization, the Company is retaining differentiated engineering, automation and technical capabilities within these businesses and applying them to other industrial applications where the Company’s capabilities align with customer requirements.
First quarter net loss included $9.2 million relating to revenue and cost impacts directly associated with the transportation reorganization activities noted above. These impacts consisted of aged inventory adjustments, restructuring charges, and amounts associated with completing existing legacy customer contracts. Such amounts are included as non-IFRS adjusting items – see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures."
Also included in the first quarter net loss were $4.7 million of costs associated with the Company's previously announced initiative to embed its growing services business within its operating units. These amounts represent costs associated with redundant assets and are included as non-IFRS adjusting items – see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures." The strategic rationale for this change is to support greater accountability for the installed base and improve the capture of lifecycle customer opportunities. Over time, management expects this model to support a higher mix of reoccurring revenues, improved customer intimacy and more consistent capture of parts, service, upgrades and performance-improvement opportunities across the installed base.
In connection with management’s ongoing portfolio optimization review, the Company reassessed certain deferred development assets within its smaller software-focused businesses, resulting in impairment costs of $7.1 million in the quarter.
Tariffs
The majority of the Company's shipments from Canada into the U.S. fall within the current terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement ("USMCA"). In 2026, the U.S. declined to agree to extend the USMCA in its current form, triggering annual joint reviews that will continue until the parties either agree to an extension or the agreement expires on July 1, 2036. Although the USMCA remains in full force and effect, the annual review process, and the ability of any party to withdraw from the agreement on six months' written notice, creates potential long-term uncertainty regarding North American free trade compounded by additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. on certain goods from various jurisdictions globally, including Canada and Europe; and further tariffs and trade agreements continue to be discussed. The potential impact, if any, of revised United States tariffs, including those imposed under Sections 301 and 338, is dependent on specific customer programs and the nature of the Company's work and, at this time, the Company does not expect these tariffs to have a material impact in the near term and continues to assess the potential application of these tariffs. Management continues to actively monitor the situation as it evolves and is taking steps to mitigate risks where possible while continuing to offer support to customers based on their needs, which may include onshoring or reshoring production. Supply chain impacts resulting from shifting trade dynamics have been largely mitigated through alternative sourcing, along with pricing strategies. While the Company could see impacts over time arising from unmitigated costs related to the tariffs themselves, potential supplier price increases, and the timing and geographic shifts in customers' capital deployment, ATS' global footprint and decentralized operating model, supported by the ABM, provide some flexibility to address potential disruptions over the long term. On a trailing-twelve-month basis, the Company's equipment and product adjusted revenues from its Canadian and European operations being sold into the U.S. remained consistent with the range previously disclosed of just over 20% of the Company's adjusted revenues.

1Unless otherwise noted, all below commentary is on adjusted revenues.
First quarter fiscal 2027 revenues were 5.8% or $43.0 million lower than in the corresponding period a year ago, primarily reflecting a year-over-year decrease in organic revenue (excluding contributions from acquired companies and foreign exchange translation) of $47.3 million or 6.4%, partially offset by
11
the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. On an adjusted basis, revenues were $38.4 million or 5.2% lower than the corresponding period a year ago. Revenues generated from construction contracts decreased 13.7% or $57.7 million from the prior period primarily due to lower Order Backlog entering the period and was partially offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Revenues from services increased 11.4% or $18.7 million, primarily due to organic revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the period and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Revenues from the sale of goods increased 0.4% or $0.6 million.
By market, revenues generated in life sciences decreased $32.9 million or 8.7% year-over-year. This was primarily due to timing of both customer capital allocation and project execution. Revenues in industrial & consumer decreased $8.4 million or 4.6% compared to the prior year as a result of lower activity in certain legacy industrial applications, as the Company continues to reposition its capabilities towards other strategic areas. Revenues generated in food & beverage decreased $21.5 million or 15.5% from the corresponding period last year due to lower Order Backlog entering the period. Revenues in energy increased $24.4 million or 68.9% year-over-year due to revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the quarter, including execution of nuclear projects.
Cost of revenues. At $503.8 million, first quarter of fiscal 2027 cost of revenues decreased by $13.1 million, or 2.5%, compared to the corresponding period a year ago primarily due to lower revenues. First quarter of fiscal 2027 gross margin was 27.4% (or 30.0% on adjusted revenues and excluding cost of revenues from the transportation reorganization of $2.3 million, cost of revenues from the services reorganization of $4.2 million, impairment costs relating to the software-focused businesses reorganization of $7.1 million, and cost of revenues from other reorganization-related costs of $1.5 million), compared to 29.8% in the corresponding period a year ago. The year-over-year increase in gross margin excluding adjusting items was 18 basis points, and attributed primarily to program mix, and the impact of increased higher-margin after-sales service revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 were $154.0 million and included $14.1 million of costs related to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets on business acquisitions, $0.1 million of incremental costs related to the Company's acquisition activity, $0.7 million related to the transportation reorganization, $0.5 million related to the services reorganization, $1.4 million of CEO inducement costs, and $0.6 million related to other reorganization-related costs. Excluding these items, SG&A expenses were $136.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Comparably, SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were $136.4 million, which excluded $14.4 million of costs related to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets on business acquisitions, and $0.3 million of incremental costs related to the Company's acquisition activity. Higher SG&A expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 primarily reflected the impact of foreign exchange translation. The CEO inducement costs are recognized over the term of the award, which will be paid April 1, 2027.
Restructuring costs. Restructuring costs for the three months ended June 28, 2026 were $5.7 million, compared to $2.5 million in the corresponding period a year ago. For further information on the restructuring costs, refer to "Reorganization and Transformation Activity" on page 9.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense of $6.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 included $1.1 million of revaluation expense from the deferred share units ("DSUs") and restricted share units ("RSUs") resulting from the change in the market price of the Company's common shares between periods ("stock-based compensation revaluation expenses"). Comparably, stock-based compensation expense was $8.4 million in the corresponding period a year ago, which included $3.6 million of revaluation expenses.

First quarter fiscal 2027 earnings from operations were $24.2 million (3.5% operating margin) compared to $57.8 million (7.8% operating margin) in the first quarter a year ago. Operating margin is a supplementary financial measure — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures." First quarter fiscal 2027 earnings from operations included $14.1 million related to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $0.1 million of incremental costs for the Company's acquisition activity, $5.7 million of restructuring charges, $7.6 million related to the impact of the transportation reorganization, $4.7 million related to the impact of the services reorganization, $1.4 million related to CEO inducement costs, $7.1 million related to the software-focused businesses reorganization, $2.1 million of other reorganization-related costs, and $1.1 million of stock-based compensation revaluation expense.

Excluding these items in both quarters, adjusted earnings from operations were $68.1 million (9.8% adjusted earnings from operations margin), compared to $78.6 million (10.7% adjusted earnings from operations margin) a year ago. The first quarter of fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings from operations primarily reflected lower revenues.
Net finance costs. Net finance costs were $20.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared to $25.6 million a year ago. First quarter of fiscal 2027 reflects reduced average borrowings versus the prior-year period.
Income tax provision. For the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company's effective income tax rate of 107.3% differed from the combined Canadian basic federal and provincial income tax rate of 26.5% due to income earned in certain jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates.
13
After adjusting the income tax provision for the impact of current year non-IFRS adjustments, the adjusted effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2026 was 27.4%. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-IFRS ratio - see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures."
Net income (loss). Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $0.3 million (0 cents per share basic), compared to net income of $24.3 million (25 cent per share basic and diluted) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The decrease primarily reflected lower revenues. Adjusted basic earnings per share were 35 cents compared to 41 cents in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

SHARE DATA
During the first three months of fiscal 2027, 18,449 stock options were exercised. At August 6, 2026, the total number of common shares outstanding was 98,126,894. There were also 1,189,803 stock options outstanding to acquire common shares of the Company and 1,132,495 RSUs outstanding that may be settled in ATS common shares where deemed advisable by the Company, as an alternative to cash payments. A portion of the RSUs are subject to the performance vesting conditions of the Company's RSU plan.
In fiscal 2023, a trust was created for the purpose of purchasing common shares of the Company on the stock market. The common shares are being held in trust and may be used to settle some or all of the RSU grants when such RSU grants are fully vested. During the three months ended June 28, 2026, nil common shares were purchased. Subsequent to June 28, 2026, 66,339 shares were purchased for $2.6 million and placed in the trust. The trust is included in the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements with the value of the acquired common shares presented as a reduction of share capital.
NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
On December 18, 2025, the Company announced that the TSX had accepted a notice filed by the Company of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). Under the NCIB, ATS may purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 8,225,621 common shares during the 12-month period ending December 21, 2026.
During the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company purchased nil common shares under the NCIB program.
Some purchases under the NCIB may be made pursuant to an automatic share purchase plan between ATS and its broker. This plan enables the purchase of common shares when ATS would not ordinarily be active in the market due to internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules, or otherwise. ATS security holders may obtain a copy of the notice, without charge, upon request from the Secretary of the Company. The NCIB program is viewed by the Company as one component of an overall capital structure strategy and complementary to its acquisition growth plans.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, cash flows used in operating activities were $10.3 million compared to $155.8 million provided by operating activities in the corresponding period a year ago. The decrease in cash flow from operations was primarily attributed to prior year cash flows including collection of the settlement amount from an EV customer.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company's investment in non-cash working capital increased by $45.6 million from March 31, 2026. Accounts receivable decreased by 2.4%, or $12.7 million, while net contracts in progress increased 14.3%, or $18.5 million, compared to March 31, 2026, primarily due to timing of billings on certain customer contracts. The Company actively manages its accounts receivable, contract asset and contract liability balances through billing terms on long-term contracts and collection efforts. Inventories increased 3.3%, or $9.7 million, primarily to enable fulfillment of Order Backlog. Deposits and prepaid assets increased 1.8% or $1.7 million compared to March 31, 2026. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased 2.4% or $15.1 million compared to March 31, 2026 due to timing of supplier billings and payments. Provisions decreased 12.8% or $4.1 million compared to March 31, 2026 primarily due to payments associated with the previously disclosed reorganization actions.
The free cash flow of the Company for the three months ended June 28, 2026 was an outflow of $25.9 million, compared to an inflow of $139.5 million a year ago, primarily due to the prior year including collection on the negotiated settlement with an EV customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and other timing-related factors near the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily related to billing and collection of milestone payments. The Company expects improvement in free cash flow going forward, and has a multi-year free cash flow target of 100% of net income. Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures."
Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues was 14.3% at June 28, 2026 compared to 12.1% at March 31, 2026. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is a non-IFRS ratio — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
Cash investments in property, plant and equipment totalled $8.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2027, primarily related to purchases of production equipment and computer hardware, as well as construction of new facilities. Intangible asset expenditures were $7.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2027, primarily related to various internal development projects and computer software. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2027 for tangible assets and intangible assets are expected to be between $70 million and $90 million. The Company adds capacity to support growth while continuing to invest in innovation. This investment is based on the needs of the business and timing of projects, and management continues to build flexibility into plans for the balance of the year.

At June 28, 2026, the Company had $1,008.7 million of unutilized multipurpose credit, including letters of credit, available under existing credit facilities and an additional $233.4 million available under letter of credit facilities.
On December 4, 2025, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), extending the maturity date to December 4, 2029. The Credit Facility consists of (i) a $900.0 million secured committed revolving line of credit and (ii) a fully drawn $150.0 million secured term credit facility. The Company incurred transaction costs of $2.6 million which were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's assets, including a pledge of shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries also provide guarantees under the Credit Facility. At June 28, 2026, the Company had utilized $150.0 million under the Credit Facility, of which $150.0 million was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2026 - $200.0 million) and $nil by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2026 - $nil).
The Credit Facility is available in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate advances, Term CORRA advances and/or Daily Compounded CORRA advances, in U.S. dollars by way of base rate advances and/or Term SOFR advances, in Euros by way of EURIBOR advances, in British pounds sterling by way of Daily Simple SONIA advances, and by way of letters of credit for certain purposes. The interest rates applicable to the Credit Facility are determined based on a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in the Credit Facility. For prime rate advances and base rate advances, the interest rate is equal to the agent's prime rate or the agent's U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, respectively, plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 2.00%. For Term CORRA advances, Daily Compounded CORRA advances, Term SOFR advances, EURIBOR advances and Daily Simple SONIA advances, the interest rate is equal to the Term CORRA rate, the Daily Compounded CORRA rate, the Term SOFR rate, the EURIBOR rate or the Daily Simple SONIA rate, respectively, plus a margin that varies from 1.45% to 3.00%. The Company pays a fee for usage of financial letters of credit that ranges from 1.45% to 3.00%, and a fee for usage of non-financial letters of credit that ranges from 0.97% to 2.00%. The Company pays a standby fee on the unadvanced portions of the amounts available for advance or drawdown under the Credit Facility at rates ranging from 0.29% to 0.60%. The Company's Credit Facility is subject to changes in market interest rates. Changes in economic conditions outside of the Company's control could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing its interest expense. The Company uses a variable for fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its Credit Facility (see "Risk Management").
The Credit Facility is subject to financial covenants including a net debt-to-EBITDA test and an interest coverage test. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is restricted from encumbering any assets with certain permitted exceptions. At June 28, 2026, all of the covenants were met.
The Company has additional credit facilities available of $111.8 million (40.0 million EUR, U.S. $24.0 million, 110.0 million Thai Baht, 2.5 million GBP, 5.0 million CNY, $1.0 million AUD and $1.8 million CAD). The total amount outstanding on these facilities as at June 28, 2026 was $2.7 million, of which $0.9 million was classified as bank indebtedness (March 31, 2026 - $6.7 million), $1.8 million was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2026 - $1.9 million) and $nil by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2026 - $nil). The interest rates applicable to the credit facilities range from 3.05% to 6.75% per annum, in local currency. A portion of the long-term debt is secured by certain assets of the Company.
The Company's U.S. $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the "U.S. Senior Notes") were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum and mature on December 15, 2028. After December 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the U.S. Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the U.S. Senior Notes. If the Company experiences a change of control, the Company may be required to
17
repurchase the U.S. Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The U.S. Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. At June 28, 2026, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the U.S. Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility. Transaction fees of $8.1 million were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the U.S. Senior Notes. The Company uses a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to hedge a portion of its U.S. Senior Notes (see "Risk Management").
On August 21, 2024, the Company completed a private placement of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of CAD Senior Notes. The CAD Senior Notes were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum and mature on August 21, 2032. On December 19, 2024, the Company completed a private placement of an additional $200.0 million of CAD Senior Notes, bringing the total amount of CAD Senior Notes issued to $600.0 million. The additional CAD Senior Notes were issued at a premium of $1.3 million which is classified as long-term debt. The Company may redeem the CAD Senior Notes, at any time after August 21, 2027, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the CAD Senior Notes. If the Company experiences a change of control, the Company may be required to repurchase the CAD Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the CAD Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The CAD Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. Transaction fees of $9.6 million were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the CAD Senior Notes. At June 28, 2026, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the CAD Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility.

1Long-term debt obligations and lease liability obligations include principal and interest.
The Company's off-balance sheet arrangements consist of purchase obligations, primarily commitments for material purchases, which have been entered into in the normal course of business.
In accordance with industry practice, the Company is liable to customers for obligations relating to contract completion and timely delivery. In the normal conduct of its operations, the Company may provide letters of credit as security for advances received from customers pending delivery and
18
contract performance. In addition, the Company provides letters of credit for post-retirement obligations and may provide letters of credit as security on equipment under lease and on order. As at June 28, 2026, the total value of outstanding letters of credit was approximately $270.5 million (March 31, 2026 - $283.9 million).
In the normal course of operations, the Company is party to a number of lawsuits, claims and contingencies. Although it is possible that liabilities may be incurred in instances for which no accruals have been made, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on derivative financial instruments arising from the potential for counterparties to default on their contractual obligations to the Company. The Company minimizes this risk by limiting counterparties to major financial institutions and monitoring their credit worthiness. The Company's credit exposure to forward foreign exchange contracts is the current replacement value of contracts that are in a gain position. The Company is also exposed to credit risk from its customers. Substantially all of the Company's trade accounts receivable are due from customers in a variety of industries and, as such, are subject to normal credit risks from their respective industries. The Company regularly monitors customers for changes in credit risk. The Company does not believe that any single market or geographic region represents significant credit risk. Credit risk concentration, with respect to trade receivables, is mitigated as the Company primarily serves large, multinational customers and obtains receivables insurance in certain instances.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has various financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt which are used in the normal course of business to maintain operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage and mitigate various risks that the business faces.
RISK MANAGEMENT
An interest rate risk exists with financial instruments held by the Company, which is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company manages interest rate risk on a portfolio basis and seeks financing terms in individual arrangements that are most advantageous, taking into account all relevant factors.
The Company uses a variable for fixed interest rate swap as a derivative financial instrument to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk. Effective November 21, 2023, the Company entered into a variable for fixed interest rate swap instrument to swap the variable interest rate on the $300.0 million outstanding on the Company's Credit Facility at that date, to a fixed 4.044% interest rate for the period November 4, 2024 to November 4, 2026. On March 16, 2026, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on the $150.0 million revolver portion of the Credit Facility due to a repayment of the hedged item. The $150.0 million term loan remains in the pre-existing hedging relationship.
On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into a forward starting variable for fixed interest rate swap instrument to swap the variable interest rate on the $150.0 million outstanding on the term loan to a fixed 3.264%. The terms of the hedging relationship will be effective November 4, 2026 and will end on November 4, 2028, aligned with the terms of the Company's Credit Facility.
A credit risk exists with financial instruments held by the Company, which is the risk of financial loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company
19
attempts to mitigate this risk by following policies and procedures surrounding accepting work with new customers, and performing work for a large variety of multinational customers in diversified industries.
There is a liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with some financial instruments. This is managed by ensuring, to the extent possible, that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they become due.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than its functional currency of the Canadian dollar, through borrowings in currencies other than its functional currency and through its investments in its foreign-based subsidiaries.
The Company's Canadian operations generate significant revenues in major foreign currencies, primarily U.S. dollars, which exceed the natural hedge provided by purchases of goods and services in those currencies. In order to manage a portion of this foreign currency exposure, the Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts. The timing and amount of these forward foreign exchange contract requirements are estimated based on existing customer contracts on hand or anticipated, current conditions in the Company's markets and the Company's past experience. Certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries will also enter forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge identified balance sheet, revenue and purchase exposures. The Company's forward foreign exchange contract hedging program is intended to mitigate movements in currency rates primarily over a one- to twenty-four-month period.
The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps as derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of its foreign exchange risk related to its U.S. Senior Notes as well as its Euro-denominated net investment.
On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to swap U.S. $175.0 million into Canadian dollars to hedge a portion of its foreign exchange risk related to its U.S. Senior Notes. The Company will receive interest of 4.125% U.S. per annum and pay interest of 3.128% Canadian. The terms of the hedging instrument will end on December 15, 2027.
On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to swap 165.3 million Euros into Canadian dollars to hedge its Euro-denominated net investment. The Company will receive interest of 3.128% Canadian per annum and pay interest of 2.645% Euros. The terms of the hedging relationship will end on December 15, 2027.
In addition, from time to time, the Company may hedge the foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency debt, intercompany loans, net investments in foreign-based subsidiaries and committed acquisitions through the use of forward foreign exchange contracts or other non-derivative financial instruments. The Company uses hedging as a risk management tool, not to speculate.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of annual or longer-term results because capital equipment markets served by the Company tend to be cyclical in nature. Operating performance quarter to quarter is also affected by the timing of revenue recognition on large programs in Order Backlog, which is impacted by such factors as customer delivery schedules, the timing of receipt of third-party components, and by the timing of acquisitions. General economic trends, product life cycles and product changes may impact revenues and operating performance. ATS typically experiences some seasonality with its Order Bookings, revenues and earnings from operations due to employee vacations, seasonality of growing seasons within the food industry and summer plant shutdowns by its customers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Uncertainty about these estimates, judgments and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
25
The Company based its assumptions on information available when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the estimates as they occur.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates described in the Company's fiscal 2026 MD&A.
Macroeconomic environment
The Company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment influenced by various factors, including cross-border tariffs, interest rate changes, inflation, supply chain dynamics and other impediments and uncertainties related to cross-border trade, geopolitical issues, regional conflicts, and the impacts of any pandemic or epidemic outbreak or resurgence. Any of these factors, alone or in combination, could affect the global and Canadian economies, which could adversely affect the Company's business, operations and customers. ATS monitors these dynamic macroeconomic conditions to assess any potential impacts on the business, financial results, and conditions of the Company. Management also monitors and assesses the impact of these factors on its judgments, estimates, accounting policies, and amounts recognized in the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the interim Chief Financial Officer ("interim CFO") of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. The control framework used in the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting is the "Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
Management is required to complete an evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures which was conducted as of June 28, 2026 under the supervision of the CEO and interim CFO as required by CSA National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings as well as Rule 13a-15(e) and Rules 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). The evaluation included documentation, review, enquiries and other procedures considered appropriate in the circumstances. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the interim CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 28, 2026, due to the material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting as previously identified in the Controls and Procedures section of the fiscal 2026 MD&A.
Management, including the CEO and interim CFO, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud or will be effective under all potential future conditions. A control system is subject to inherent limitations and, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.
Remediation plan for the material weakness
In response to the material weakness identified in the fiscal 2026 MD&A, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, is continuing to implement effective internal controls to address the identified material weakness.
26
Management has commenced an upgrade of its existing enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system in one of its international divisions, with implementation planned during the fiscal year. The upgraded ERP system will support the implementation of an effective control design over the completeness and accuracy of data used in the performance of business controls and enhance internal controls through increased process automation.
Senior management has discussed the material weakness with the Audit Committee, which will continue to review progress on these remediation activities. While management believes these actions will contribute to the remediation of the material weakness, the corrective processes and related procedures have not yet been completed. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully designed, implemented, and operate for a sufficient period of time such that they can be concluded to be operating effectively, the material weakness described above will not be considered remediated. No assurance can be provided at this time that the actions and remediation efforts will effectively remediate the remaining material weakness described above or prevent the occurrence of other material weaknesses in the Company's ICFR in the future. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, management may take additional measures to address control deficiencies.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Except for the remediation activities described above, there have been no other significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, internal control over financial reporting.

ATS has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from current expectations; however, there may be other factors that cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates, factors, and assumptions regarding, among others, management's current plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions, the future performance and results of the Company's business and operations; the ability of ATS to execute on its business objectives; the effectiveness of ABM in accomplishing its goals; the ability to successfully implement margin expansion initiatives; management's assessment as to the project schedules across all customer contracts in Order Backlog, the strengthening of Order Bookings over the balance of fiscal 2027 and the conversion of those Order Bookings and Order Backlog into revenue within expected timelines, faster-turn product and services revenues, expected delivery timing of third-party equipment and operational capacity; the volume of outstanding projects the Company is contracted to perform, the size and duration of those projects, and the timing of project activities including design, assembly, testing, and installation will support revenue growth; initiatives in furtherance of the Company's goal of improving its adjusted earnings from operations margin in fiscal 2027 and over the long term will result in improvements to adjusted earnings from operations margin; the anticipated growth or capabilities in the life sciences, radiopharmaceuticals food & beverage, consumer products, energy, and nuclear markets; the ability to seek out, enter into and successfully integrate acquisitions; the Company's expectations of industry consolidation over the next two years; ongoing cost inflationary pressures and the Company's ability to respond to such inflationary pressures; the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its operations; the Company's
30

NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this document, management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures to evaluate the performance of the Company.
The terms "EBITDA", "organic revenue", "adjusted net income", "adjusted earnings from operations", "adjusted revenues", "adjusted EBITDA", "pro forma adjusted EBITDA", "adjusted basic earnings per share", "adjusted income tax provision", and "free cash flow", are non-IFRS financial measures, "EBITDA margin", "adjusted earnings from operations margin", "adjusted EBITDA margin", "organic revenue growth", "non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues", "net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA", and "adjusted effective tax rate" are non-IFRS ratios, and "operating margin", "Order Bookings", "organic Order Bookings", "organic Order Bookings growth", "Order Backlog", and "book-to-bill ratio" are supplementary financial measures, all of which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Such measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
31
performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, management uses "earnings from operations", which is an additional IFRS measure, to evaluate the performance of the Company. Earnings from operations is presented on the Company's consolidated statements of income as net income excluding income tax expense and net finance costs. Operating margin is an expression of the Company's earnings from operations as a percentage of adjusted revenues. EBITDA is defined as earnings from operations excluding depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is an expression of the Company's EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted revenues. Organic revenue is defined as adjusted revenues in the stated period excluding revenues from acquired companies for which the acquired company was not a part of the consolidated group in the comparable period. Organic revenue growth compares the stated period organic revenue with the reported adjusted revenue of the comparable prior period. Adjusted earnings from operations is defined as earnings from operations before items excluded from management's internal analysis of operating results, such as amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, restructuring charges, legal settlement and cancelled contract costs that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, the mark-to-market adjustment on stock-based compensation and certain other adjustments which would be non-recurring in nature ("adjustment items"). Adjusted earnings from operations margin is an expression of the Company's adjusted earnings from operations as a percentage of adjusted revenues. Adjusted revenues are defined as revenues before any adjustment items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings from operations excluding depreciation and amortization. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA is adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis to reflect full contribution from recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin is an expression of the entity's adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted basic earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income on a basic per share basis, where adjusted net income is defined as adjusted earnings from operations less net finance costs and income tax expense, plus tax effects of adjustment items and adjusted for other significant items of a non-recurring nature. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is defined as the sum of accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, deposits, prepaids and other assets, less accounts payable, accrued liabilities, provisions and contract liabilities divided by the trailing two fiscal quarter adjusted revenues annualized. Adjusted income tax provision is defined as income tax provision including the tax impact of adjusting items and adjusting for the impact of additional one time tax transactions. Adjusted effective tax rate is adjusted income tax expressed as a percentage of pre tax income. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less property, plant and equipment and intangible asset expenditures. Net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA is the ratio of the net debt of the Company (cash and cash equivalents less bank indebtedness, long-term debt, and lease liabilities) to the trailing twelve month pro forma adjusted EBITDA. Order Bookings represent new orders for the supply of automation systems, services and products that management believes are firm. Organic Order Bookings are defined as Order Bookings in the stated period excluding Order Bookings from acquired companies for which the acquired company was not a part of the consolidated group in the comparable period. Organic Order Bookings growth compares the stated period organic Order Bookings with the reported Order Bookings of the comparable prior period. Order Backlog is the estimated unearned portion of revenues on customer contracts that are in process and have not been completed at the specified date. Book to bill ratio is a measure of Order Bookings compared to adjusted revenue.
Following amendments to ATS' RSU Plan in 2022 to provide the Company with the option for settlement in shares purchased in the open market and the creation of the employee benefit trust to facilitate such settlement, ATS began to account for RSUs as equity-settled. However, prior RSU grants which will be cash-settled and DSU grants which will be cash-settled are accounted for as described in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and have volatility period over period based on the fluctuating price of ATS' common shares. Certain non-IFRS financial measures (adjusted EBITDA, net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings from operations and adjusted basic earnings per share) exclude the impact on stock-based compensation expense of the revaluation of DSUs and
32
RSUs resulting specifically from the change in market price of the Company's common shares between periods. Management believes that this adjustment provides insight into the Company's performance, as share price volatility drives variability in the Company's stock-based compensation expense.
Operating margin, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted revenues, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are used by the Company to evaluate the performance of its operations. Management believes that earnings from operations is an important indicator in measuring the performance of the Company's operations on a pre-tax basis and without consideration as to how the Company finances its operations. Management believes that adjusted revenues, organic revenue and organic revenue growth, when considered with IFRS measures, allow the Company to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating cash flows to fund continued investment in its operations. Management believes that adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted earnings from operations margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share are important measures to increase comparability of performance between periods. The adjustment items used by management to arrive at these metrics are not considered to be indicative of the business' ongoing operating performance. Management uses the measure "non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues" to assess overall liquidity. Management uses adjusted effective tax rate to better evaluate actual tax impact on the financial performance of the Company. Free cash flow is used by the Company to measure cash flow from operations after investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Management uses net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of leverage of the Company. Order Bookings provide an indication of the Company's ability to secure new orders for work during a specified period, while Order Backlog provides a measure of the value of Order Bookings that have not been completed at a specified point in time. Both Order Bookings and Order Backlog are indicators of future revenues that the Company expects to generate based on contracts that management believes to be firm. Organic Order Bookings and organic Order Bookings growth allow the Company to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic Order Bookings growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. Book to bill ratio is used to measure the Company's ability and timeliness to convert Order Bookings into revenues. Management believes that ATS shareholders and potential investors in ATS use these additional IFRS measures and non-IFRS financial measures in making investment decisions and measuring operational results.
A reconciliation of (i) adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to net income, (ii) adjusted earnings from operations to net income, (iii) adjusted net income to net income, (iv) adjusted basic earnings per share to basic earnings per share (v) free cash flow to its IFRS measure components (vi) adjusted revenues to revenue and (vii) organic revenue to revenue, in each case for the three months ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, is contained in this MD&A (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). This MD&A also contains a reconciliation of (i) non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues and (ii) net debt to their IFRS measure components, in each case at both June 28, 2026 and March 31, 2026 (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). A reconciliation of adjusted earnings from operations to earnings from operations for the three months ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025 is also contained in the MD&A (see "Earnings and Adjusted Earnings from Operations"). A reconciliation of Order Bookings and Order Backlog to total Company revenues for the three months ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025 is also contained in this MD&A (see "Order Backlog Continuity"). A reconciliation of the adjusted effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2026 is also contained in the MD&A (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures").

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
ATS Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, "ATS" or the "Company") is an industry leader in planning, designing, building, commissioning and servicing automated manufacturing systems - including automation products and test solutions - for a broadly diversified base of customers.
The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ATS" and is incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The address of its registered office is 730 Fountain Street North, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 28, 2026 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the "Board") on August 5, 2026.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative instruments that have been measured at fair value. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been omitted or condensed. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2026.
Standards adopted in fiscal 2027
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the presentation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, except as noted below:
(i) Adoption of amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
Effective April 1, 2026, the Company adopted the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, issued by the IASB in May 2024. These amendments clarify the timing of derecognition for financial liabilities settled through electronic payment systems, provide additional guidance on assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with a contingent feature, and introduce new disclosure requirements for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments were adopted in accordance with the applicable transition provisions, which do not require the restatement of comparative period information.

Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ending March 31, 2027, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company reasonably expects the following standards to be applicable at a future date:
(i) Issuance of IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which will replace IAS 1 for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The new standard aims to improve comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements. IFRS 18 introduces the following key changes:
•A revised structure for the consolidated statement of income, including new defined categories of income and expenses and required subtotals such as operating profit or loss and profit or loss before financing and income taxes;
•New presentation requirements for operating expenses, which must be presented directly on the face of the income statement and classified based on their nature, function, or a combination of both;
•Enhanced disclosure requirements related to management-defined performance measures, including explanations of how such measures are calculated and how they reconcile to amounts presented in the financial statements; and
•Additional guidance on the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements and the notes to improve the organization and presentation of financial information.
The standard is required to be applied retrospectively in both annual and interim financial statements starting in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.
The Company is in the process of reviewing the new standard to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these estimates, judgments and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
8
ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's fiscal 2026 audited consolidated financial statements.
The Company based its estimates, judgments and assumptions on parameters available when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the estimates when they occur.
Tariffs: Management is monitoring the global tariff environment, including reciprocal measures from impacted jurisdictions. While some customers are evaluating capital spend, management has not seen any material impact on the Company's financial position, cash flows and operations. During the quarter, a refund process was initiated for tariffs imposed under the International Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). IEEPA tariff refunds received during the period have been recognized within cost of goods sold, consistent with the presentation of the original tariff-related costs in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the refunds recorded in the period do not have a material impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management will continue to monitor and assess the impact of the tariffs on its judgments, estimates, and amounts recognized in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company will receive interest of 4.125% U.S. per annum and pay interest of 3.128% Canadian. The terms of the hedging instrument will end on December 15, 2027.
The Company also entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument on December 5, 2024 to swap 165,328 Euros into Canadian dollars to hedge the net investment in European operations.

The current portion of the variable for fixed interest rate swap instrument is recorded in deposits, prepaids and other assets for asset balances, and in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for liability balances, on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
On March 16, 2026, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on the $150,000 revolver portion of the credit facility due to a repayment of the hedged item. The $1,367 accumulated in other comprehensive income related to this portion of the hedge was transferred to the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended March 31, 2026. The $150,000 term loan remains in the pre-existing hedging relationship.
(iii) On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into a forward-starting variable for fixed interest rate swap instrument to swap the variable interest rate on the $150,000 outstanding on the term loan to a fixed 3.264%.

8. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The Company has classified the land, building and leaseholds associated with certain facilities in the U.S. and a facility in Germany as held for sale as part of the reorganization of the Company's transportation related business. The carrying value of assets classified as held for sale was $61,415 as at June 28, 2026 (March 31, 2026 – $60,302). Changes in the carrying value since March 31, 2026 were attributable to foreign exchange translation into the Company's presentation currency and not changes in the underlying carrying value of the properties. The assessed fair value, less costs to sell, of the assets exceeds the current carrying value and therefore no adjustments were recorded to the carrying value.
9. IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company performed its annual intangible impairment tests in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The impairment tests are based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash-generating units ("CGUs") were disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. On a quarterly basis the Company reviews for indicators of impairment of its CGUs.
Software-focused business CGUs
During the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company performed an impairment assessment of certain intangible assets associated with its software-focused business CGUs due to a strategic repositioning in its product offerings in those businesses, resulting in an indicator of impairment. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined using a value-in-use methodology, which incorporates management's estimates of future cash flows, and an appropriate discount rate reflecting the risks specific to the CGU. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the expected impact of the strategic repositioning and changes in the anticipated demand profile of the affected products and services.
As a result of this analysis, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $7,088 against certain intangible assets. The impairment expense has been recorded within cost of revenues in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
For the impairment tests performed for the period ended June 28, 2026, the estimated recoverable amount is equal to its carrying value. Consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions could result in a further impairment loss. The key assumptions for the recoverable amount are disclosed below:
Growth rate - The rates used in the determination of the recoverable amount are based on market growth rates for the specific industry, updated for expected impact of the repositioning. Minor changes in the growth rate do not materially impact the impairment calculation.
Discount rate - The discount rate used was 12.5%, which was estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for the CGUs. Minor changes in the discount rate do not materially impact the impairment calculation.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
During the three months ended June 28, 2026 and the three months ended June 29, 2025, there were no changes in the classification of financial assets as a result of a change in the purpose or use of those assets. The Company uses derivative instruments, including cross-currency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage exposure to foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. These derivative instruments are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow technique, incorporating inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data. The Company does not have any Level 1 or Level 3 instruments.
During the three months ended June 28, 2026 and the three months ended June 29, 2025, there were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
Instruments not subject to hedge accounting
As part of the Company's risk management strategy, forward contract derivative financial instruments are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to the translation of foreign currency net assets to the subsidiary's functional currency. As these instruments have not been designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
For the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company recorded risk management losses of $7,055 (three months ended June 29, 2025 - gains of $3,346), on foreign currency risk management forward contracts in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Included in these amounts, during the three months ended June 28, 2026, were unrealized losses of $6,160 (three months ended June 29, 2025 - unrealized losses of $3,418), representing the change in fair value of forward derivative contracts. In addition, during the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company realized foreign exchange losses of $895 (three months ended June 29, 2025 - realized gains of $6,764), related to forward derivative contracts which were settled.

Warranty provisions
Warranty provisions are related to sales of products and are based on experience reflecting statistical trends of warranty costs.
Restructuring
Restructuring charges are recognized in the period incurred and when the criteria for provisions are fulfilled. Termination benefits are recognized as a liability and an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed through a formal restructuring plan.
The Company periodically undertakes reviews of its operations to ensure alignment with strategic market opportunities including the realignment of the cost structure and capital needs of its
13

businesses. During the three months ended June 28, 2026, restructuring expenses of $5,658 were recorded in relation to these activities (June 29, 2025 - $2,493). The costs incurred related primarily to workforce reductions.
Included in the restructuring provisions are $2,163 of costs classified as long-term due to country-specific requirements for termination benefits (March 31, 2026 - $468).
Other provisions
Other provisions are related to medical insurance expenses that have been incurred during the period but are not yet paid, and other miscellaneous provisions.
12. BANK INDEBTEDNESS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On December 4, 2025, the Company amended its Credit Facility, extending the maturity date to December 4, 2029. The Credit Facility consists of (i) a $900,000 secured committed revolving line of credit; and (ii) a fully drawn $150,000 secured term credit facility. The Company incurred transaction costs of $2,640, which were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's assets, including a pledge of shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries also provide guarantees under the Credit Facility. At June 28, 2026, the Company had utilized $150,000 under the Credit Facility, of which $150,000 was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2026 - $200,000) and $nil by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2026 - $nil).
The Credit Facility is available in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate advances, Term CORRA advances and/or Daily Compounded CORRA advances, in U.S. dollars by way of base rate advances and/or Term SOFR advances, in Euros by way of EURIBOR advances, in British pounds sterling by way of Daily Simple SONIA advances, and by way of letters of credit for certain purposes. The interest rates applicable to the Credit Facility are determined based on a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in the Credit Facility. For prime rate advances and base rate advances, the interest rate is equal to the agent's prime rate or the agent's U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, respectively, plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 2.00%. For Term CORRA advances, Daily Compounded CORRA advances, Term SOFR advances, EURIBOR advances and Daily Simple SONIA advances, the interest rate is equal to the Term CORRA rate, the Daily Compounded CORRA rate, the Term SOFR rate, the EURIBOR rate or the Daily Simple SONIA rate, respectively, plus a margin that varies from 1.45% to 3.00%. The Company pays a fee for usage of financial letters of credit that ranges from 1.45% to 3.00%, and a fee for usage of non-financial letters of credit that ranges from 0.97% to 2.00%. The Company pays a standby fee on the unadvanced portions of the amounts available for advance or drawdown under the Credit Facility at rates ranging from 0.29% to 0.60%. The Company's Credit Facility is subject to changes in market interest rates. Changes in economic conditions outside of the Company's control could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing its interest expense. The Company uses a variable for fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its Credit Facility (see note 7). The Credit Facility is subject to financial covenants including a net debt-to-EBITDA test and an interest coverage test. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is restricted from encumbering any assets with certain permitted exceptions. At June 28, 2026, all of the covenants were met.
The Company has additional credit facilities available of $111,832 (40,006 EUR, $24,000 U.S., 110,000 Thai Baht, 2,500 GBP, 5,000 CNY, $1,000 AUD and $1,825 CAD). The total amount outstanding on these facilities as at June 28, 2026 was $2,684, of which $850 was classified as bank indebtedness (March 31, 2026 - $6,744), $1,834 was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2026 - $1,920) and $nil by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2026 - $nil). The interest rates applicable to the credit facilities range from

3.05% to 6.75% per annum, in local currency. A portion of the long-term debt is secured by certain assets of the Company.
The Company's U.S. $350,000 aggregate principal amount of U.S. Senior Notes were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum and mature on December 15, 2028. After December 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the U.S. Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the U.S. Senior Notes.

The U.S. Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. At June 28, 2026, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the U.S. Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility. Transaction fees of $8,100 were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the U.S. Senior Notes. The Company uses a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to hedge a portion of its U.S. Senior Notes (see note 7).

On May 2, 2024, the Canadian federal government tabled Bill C-69 for the first reading in Parliament. Bill C-69 includes revised provisions to implement the Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA") and other measures from the federal budget tabled on April 16, 2024. The GMTA introduces a 15% global minimum tax in Canada, aligning with the OECD Pillar Two regime. On June 20, 2024, Bill C-69 received Royal Assent, enacting the GMTA. Consequently, the impact of the GMTA is reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company recognized income tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes of $167 (June 29, 2025 - $573), in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income (loss).
On June 20, 2024, Bill C-59 received Royal Assent, enacting a 2% tax on certain share buybacks. The impact of this tax is reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (note 13).

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In the calculation of the stock-based compensation expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), the fair values of the Company's stock option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for time-vesting stock options. During the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company granted 168,088 time-vesting stock options (350,665 in the three months ended June 29, 2025). The stock options granted vest over four years and expire on the seventh anniversary from the date of issue.

Restricted Share Unit Plan:
During the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company granted 175,319 time-vesting restricted share units ("RSUs"), (nil in the three months ended June 29, 2025) and 124,049 performance-based RSUs, (nil in the three months ended June 29, 2025). The Company measures these RSUs based on the fair value at the date of grant and a compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. The performance-based RSUs vest upon successful achievement of certain operational and share price targets.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)
On May 18, 2022, the RSU plan was amended so that RSUs granted may be settled in ATS Common Shares, where deemed advisable by the Company, as an alternative to cash payments. It is the Company's intention to settle these RSUs with ATS Common Shares and therefore the Company measures these RSUs as equity awards based on fair value. At June 28, 2026, 1,109,180 shares are held in a trust and may be used to settle some or all of the RSU grants when they are fully vested (March 31, 2026 - 1,109,180 shares). Subsequent to June 28, 2026, 66,339 shares were purchased for $2,589 and placed in the trust. The trust is consolidated in the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements with the value of the acquired common shares presented as a reduction of share capital.
Deferred Stock Unit Plan:
During the three months ended June 28, 2026, the Company granted 58,354 units (three months ended June 29, 2025 - 49,001 units). During the three months ended June 28, 2026, 222,898 units were redeemed for $9,647 (June 29, 2025 - no units). The Deferred Stock Unit ("DSU") liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company's stock price. The change in the value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). As at June 28, 2026, the value of the outstanding liability related to the DSUs was $10,858 (March 31, 2026 - $19,168). The DSU liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company's stock price. The DSU liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The change in the value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) in the period of change.

ATS Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results and Announces a Fixed Cost Transformation Program
08/06/2026
Cambridge, ON / BUSINESS WIRE / ATS Corporation (TSX and NYSE: ATS) ("ATS" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three months ended June 28, 2026 and announced a Fixed Cost Transformation Program. All references to "$" or "dollars" in this news release are to Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Following a comprehensive portfolio review conducted after Doug Wright's appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Company announced that it had identified a significant opportunity to improve profitability, returns and capital efficiency across the organization. As a result, ATS has initiated an approximately 18-month Fixed Cost Transformation Program that is expected to represent approximately half of the margin expansion required to achieve its current long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin1 target of 15%. The first phase will focus on Europe, where the Company is consolidating certain facilities and transferring select capabilities to other ATS locations to better align the Company's operating footprint and capacity with customer requirements. The Company will provide further updates as additional initiatives are finalized and believes these actions will strengthen margins, cash generation and shareholder returns over time.
First quarter highlights:
•Revenues were $693.7 million (adjusted revenues2 $698.3 million) compared to $736.7 million a year ago.
•Net loss was $0.3 million compared to net income of $24.3 million a year ago.
•Basic loss per share was 0 cents, compared to earnings per share of 25 cents a year ago.
•Adjusted EBITDA2 was $92.9 million compared to $101.5 million a year ago.
•Adjusted basic earnings per share2 were 35 cents compared to 41 cents a year ago.
•Order Bookings3 were $656 million, compared to $693 million a year ago.
•Order Backlog3 was $1,889 million, compared to $2,068 million a year ago.
During the first quarter, the Company made progress on several commercial and operating initiatives. Gross margin on adjusted revenues, excluding adjustment items, improved both sequentially and year- over-year. The Company continues to action its previously disclosed reorganization and restructuring activities (see "Reorganization and Transformation Activity").
Doug Wright, Chief Executive Officer noted, “In addition to releasing ATS' first-quarter results for fiscal 2027, today we also shared details on our 18-month Fixed Cost Transformation Program." Added Mr. Wright, "Despite timing variability this quarter with certain anticipated customer awards, which we anticipate will shift into future quarters, we continue to see a healthy and diversified funnel across our core end markets. Growth in energy revenues and revenues from services, together with improved gross margin on adjusted revenues, excluding adjustment items, demonstrated continued progress across several areas of the business."

Fiscal 2027 Performance Expectations
Management continues to have conviction in the Company's pipeline across its core end markets, which is supported by its broad base of differentiated technologies, products and engineering know-how, and strong customer relationships. Timing delays in certain previously anticipated large customer awards influence the mix and volume of organic revenue growth in fiscal 2027, temporarily reducing the Order Backlog available for near-term conversion. As a result, achieving modest organic revenue growth in fiscal 2027 will depend on stronger Order Bookings activity over the balance of the year and the pace of project execution of such Order Bookings during the fiscal year. Despite these near-term timing considerations, the Company continues to see encouraging signs across parts of the business. While overall life sciences performance is affected by lower GLP‑1-related demand, Order Bookings across the remainder of the life sciences portfolio increased at a high-single-digit rate versus the prior year, and the trailing-twelve-month book-to-bill ratio excluding GLP-1‑related activity remained strong at approximately 1.1:1, supporting management's confidence in the underlying market environment. ATS also continues to see increasing contributions from revenues from services and remains well positioned to participate in the long-term growth of the nuclear and radiopharmaceutical markets, although customer awards in these markets can be subject to variability in timing and magnitude. The Company remains focused on driving cash returns through disciplined investment decisions and a consistent focus on capital efficiency across the portfolio. Book-to-bill ratio is a supplementary financial measure — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
Fixed Cost Transformation Program
Following the completion of a comprehensive review of its entire portfolio against its long-term value creation criteria, management has initiated a program to transform the Company's fixed cost structure over time (the "Fixed Cost Transformation Program"). The review included consideration of operating footprint, cost structure and capital allocation priorities, resulting from management's application of a disciplined cash return on investment framework across the organization. The review reinforced management’s confidence in the Company’s core strengths and position in critical growth markets, and identified opportunities to simplify the Company's operating structure, optimize its global footprint, reduce fixed costs and improve returns on invested capital, while better aligning it with its current business profile and long-term growth objectives. Management believes these meaningful structural changes can contribute approximately half of the margin expansion required to achieve the Company's current long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin target of 15%.
This multi-phase program, which is expected to be completed in approximately 18 months, is not intended to alter the Company’s strategic focus on services or the end markets it serves. Rather, the objective is to reshape the cost structure of the business so that resources can be allocated more efficiently in support of the Company’s long-term growth strategy.
As the initial phase of the Fixed Cost Transformation Program, management identified excess capacity across certain European facilities based on current and expected demand for customer programs required to be executed within Europe (the "European Footprint Consolidation").
The European Footprint Consolidation will involve the transfer of select technical capabilities to other ATS facilities where existing capacity and capabilities can support customer requirements more efficiently. Where appropriate, customer programs may also be supported through ATS’ broader global footprint. Given the nature of the facility and reorganization activities involved, implementation and the
realization of the related benefits are expected to build as the program actions are implemented over approximately 18 months. Related restructuring costs will be disclosed as the plans progress. The annual costs that can be reduced in connection with this initial phase are expected to be in the range of $20 million, followed by additional cost reduction opportunities on the remainder of the Fixed Cost Transformation Program, including opportunities to simplify the Company's operating footprint and reduce fixed costs in other parts of the business. Those initiatives remain under evaluation and will be communicated as plans are finalized and approved. The initial phase of cost reductions is expected to represent approximately 30% of the savings opportunity from the broader Fixed Cost Transformation Program.
Management continues to believe that executing on the long-term growth opportunities across the Company’s end markets and the operational-improvement initiatives currently underway, together with portfolio optimization and cost-reduction activities, including the Fixed Cost Transformation Program, support the Company’s achievement of its long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin target of 15%.
Management intends to provide updates as the initiatives progress.

First quarter summary
First quarter fiscal 2027 revenues were 5.8% or $43.0 million lower than in the corresponding period a year ago, primarily reflecting a year-over-year decrease in organic revenue (excluding contributions from acquired companies and foreign exchange translation) of $47.3 million or 6.4%, partially offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. On an adjusted basis, revenues were $38.4 million or 5.2% lower than the corresponding period a year ago. Revenues generated from construction contracts decreased 13.7% or $57.7 million from the prior period primarily due to lower Order Backlog entering the period and was partially offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Revenues from services increased 11.4% or $18.7 million, primarily due to organic revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the period and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Revenues from the sale of goods increased 0.4% or $0.6 million.
By market, revenues generated in life sciences decreased $32.9 million or 8.7% year-over-year. This was primarily due to timing of both customer capital allocation and project execution. Revenues in industrial & consumer decreased $8.4 million or 4.6% compared to the prior year as a result of lower activity in certain legacy industrial applications, as the Company continues to reposition its capabilities towards other strategic areas. Revenues generated in food & beverage decreased $21.5 million or 15.5% from the corresponding period last year due to lower Order Backlog entering the period. Revenues in energy increased $24.4 million or 68.9% year-over-year due to revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the quarter, including execution of nuclear projects.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $0.3 million (0 cents per share basic), compared to net income of $24.3 million (25 cent per share basic and diluted) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The decrease primarily reflected lower revenues. Adjusted basic earnings per share were 35 cents compared to 41 cents in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $40.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared to $37.3 million a year ago.
EBITDA was $64.4 million (9.2% EBITDA margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to $95.1 million (12.9% EBITDA margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 included $5.7 million of restructuring charges, $0.1 million of incremental costs related to acquisition activity, $7.6 million related to the impact of the transportation reorganization, $4.0 million related to the impact of the services reorganization, $1.4 million related to CEO inducement costs, $7.1 million of costs related to reorganization activities in the Company's software-focused businesses, $1.5 million of other reorganization-related costs, and $1.1 million of stock-based compensation revaluation expense. EBITDA for the corresponding period in the prior year included $2.5 million of restructuring charges, $0.3 million of incremental costs related to acquisition activity, and $3.6 million of stock-based compensation revaluation expenses. Excluding these amounts, adjusted EBITDA was $92.9 million (13.3% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $101.5 million (13.8% adjusted EBITDA margin) for the corresponding period in the prior year. Lower adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected lower revenues. EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and EBITDA margin is a non-IFRS ratio — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues was 14.3%, an improvement from 17.3% in the corresponding quarter last year. The Company had a net debt to pro forma adjusted
EBITDA ratio at June 28, 2026 of 2.9 times, and management expects the Company to continue to operate within its targeted leverage ratio of 2.0 to 3.0 times throughout fiscal 2027. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues and net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS ratios - see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."

Order Bookings
First quarter of fiscal 2027 Order Bookings were $656 million, a 5.3% year-over-year decrease, reflecting a 6.9% decline in organic Order Bookings, partially offset by the positive impact of 1.6% from foreign exchange translation. By market, Order Bookings in life sciences increased compared to the prior-year period, reflecting continued customer capital investment across a broad range of applications. Order Bookings within life sciences remain well diversified, including orders for radiopharmaceutical applications and for a range of pharmaceutical and medical device automation solutions. To reflect management’s decision to reposition certain transportation businesses to serve other specialized industrial applications, the Company will report “industrial & consumer” in place for the separate transportation and consumer verticals previously reported. Order Bookings decreased in industrial & consumer compared to the prior period a year ago, primarily due to the timing of customer projects and the Company's ongoing portfolio repositioning towards opportunities that support improved profitability and capital efficiency. Order Bookings in food & beverage increased compared to the prior-year period due to the timing of customer orders in addition to the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Order Bookings in energy decreased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the timing of customer projects, specifically for nuclear refurbishment projects, and due to strong nuclear refurbishment-related activity in the prior-year period that benefited from several large project awards. Given the nature of the nuclear market, Order Bookings can fluctuate based on the timing of customer investment decisions and project awards. Organic Order Bookings and Organic Order Bookings growth are supplementary financial measures — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
Backlog
At June 28, 2026, Order Backlog was $1,889 million, 8.7% lower than at June 29, 2025.
Outlook
The life sciences funnel remains healthy and diversified, with opportunities across strategic submarkets such as pharmaceuticals, radiopharmaceuticals and medical devices, partially offsetting lower levels of GLP‑1-related activity. Management continues to identify opportunities with both new and existing customers across diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, isotope production, wearable devices, automated pharmacy solutions, contact lenses and pre-filled syringes, as well as integrated life sciences solutions that leverage capabilities from across the Company. Management
continues to see strong customer interest in specialized radiopharmaceutical production, containment and automation solutions, supported primarily by increasing adoption of therapeutic applications and ongoing investment in isotope production. As programs advance from clinical development towards commercialization, management continues to observe broader market activity aimed at securing capacity, enhancing supply-chain resilience and supporting reliable, compliant operations in highly regulated environments. ATS' differentiated capabilities in radiopharmaceutical containment systems, integrated automation and lifecycle support position the Company to participate in multiple phases of customer investment across the radiopharmaceutical value chain. Market conditions for ATS' laboratory equipment businesses remain stable overall. ATS continues to strengthen its coordinated go-to-market approach, with initiatives focused on broader market coverage, improved customer engagement and development of a pipeline of opportunities.
Funnel activity in industrial & consumer is stable. While discretionary consumer spending may influence the timing of certain customer investments, the Company continues to broaden its opportunity pipeline across specialized industrial applications. These opportunities allow ATS to deploy its differentiated automation, testing and high-speed assembly capabilities into higher-value areas such as data center infrastructure, warehouse packaging automation and other mission-critical production environments.
Funnel activity in food & beverage remains strong despite lower order activity in certain markets, particularly global tomato processing, following elevated investment levels in recent years. ATS continues to see opportunities across its core and adjacent end markets and is expanding its opportunity set beyond tomato processing into fresh fruit processing, secondary processing and packaging applications. In addition, customers' equipment replacement requirements may support investment activity even during periods of softer underlying demand. Through its market position and capabilities, management believes it is well positioned to participate as customer investment activity improves over time.
Funnel activity in energy remains strong, supported by industry investment in energy security, infrastructure modernization and new power generation capacity to support data center needs. Within nuclear, ATS has a proven track record supporting refurbishment and life-extension programs for CANDU reactors and is engaged in front-end engineering, design and prototype-equipment development for small modular reactors and conventional new builds. As customer programs advance, ATS can support automation for modular fabrication and assembly, fuel fabrication and related manufacturing processes, as well as fuel handling and other specialized testing systems designed for reliable and repeatable operation in high-risk environments. Fuel fabrication represents a complementary opportunity as customers invest in the facilities and equipment required ahead of reactor deployment. Based on management’s assessment of where ATS’ capabilities can be deployed, the Company’s addressable opportunity on a reactor program may represent a low-single-digit percentage of total customer capital expenditure, depending on the application.
After-sales revenues and reoccurring revenues, which ATS defines as revenues from ancillary products and services associated with equipment sales, and revenues from customers who purchase non-customized ATS products at regular intervals, are expected to provide some balance to customers' capital expenditure cycles. Management expects reoccurring revenues to be in the range of 25%-35% on a trailing-twelve-month basis and remains focused on expanding this proportion of the business over time.
Order Backlog of $1,889 million is expected to help mitigate some of the impact of quarterly variability in Order Bookings on revenues in the short term. The Company's Order Backlog includes several large enterprise programs that have longer periods of performance and therefore longer revenue recognition cycles, particularly in life sciences. In the second quarter of fiscal 2027, management expects to generate revenues in the range of $660 million to $700 million, reflecting the lower opening Order Backlog available for conversion. This revenue estimate is calculated each quarter based on management's assessment of project schedules across all customer contracts in Order Backlog, expectations for faster-turn product and services revenues, expected delivery timing of third-party equipment and operational capacity.
Management’s approach to long-term value creation is centered on disciplined execution of the Company’s Growth Algorithm, which is designed to drive sustainable growth in per-share cash generation. The Growth Algorithm combines organic growth, disciplined acquisitions, margin expansion and improved working-capital efficiency, while supporting continued investment in differentiated technologies, lifecycle services and strategic acquisitions. Together, these priorities are intended to enhance the quality, resilience and growth of the Company’s earnings and cash flow profile. Management also considers return on invested capital and cash return on investment as part of its capital allocation framework. This framework is intended to balance growth, profitability and capital efficiency across organic investments, acquisitions and operational improvement initiatives, with the objective of maximizing long-term shareholder value.
As management increases its focus on cash returns, improving non-cash working capital velocity and asset utilization more broadly are clear priorities within the Company’s operating models. These priorities are intended to support stronger cash generation and improved returns on invested capital. The Company's long-term goal is to maintain its investment in non-cash working capital as a percentage of annualized revenues below 15%, although fluctuations are expected on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and credit available under operating and long-term credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in non-cash working capital and capital assets, and to fund strategic investment plans including some potential acquisitions. Acquisitions could result in additional debt or equity financing requirements for the Company. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is a non-IFRS ratio — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
For further details on the Company's outlook, please see "Outlook" in its Management's Discussion and Analysis for the first quarter ending June 28, 2026 ("Q1 MD&A").
Reorganization and Transformation Activity
The Company previously disclosed expected restructuring costs of approximately $10 million to $15 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, with $5 million related to transportation-related divisions, and the remainder related to other parts of the business. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, restructuring expenses of $5.7 million were recorded in relation to these activities, with $1.6 million of this amount related to transportation . As noted above, some restructuring activities have taken longer to implement than previously anticipated and as a result, a portion of the expected costs has shifted into the second and third quarters of fiscal 2027.
First quarter net loss included $9.2 million relating to revenue and cost impacts directly associated with the transportation reorganization activities noted above. These impacts consisted of aged inventory
adjustments, restructuring charges, and amounts associated with completing existing legacy customer contracts. Such amounts are included as non-IFRS adjusting items – see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures."
Also included in the first quarter net loss were $4.7 million of costs associated with the Company's previously announced initiative to embed its growing services business within its operating units. These amounts represent costs associated with redundant assets and are included as non-IFRS adjusting items – see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures." The strategic rationale for this change is to support greater accountability for the installed base and improve the capture of lifecycle customer opportunities. Over time, management expects this model to support a higher mix of reoccurring revenues, improved customer intimacy and more consistent capture of parts, service, upgrades and performance-improvement opportunities across the installed base.
In connection with management’s ongoing portfolio optimization review, the Company reassessed certain deferred development assets within its smaller software-focused businesses, resulting in impairment costs of $7.1 million in the quarter.
For further details on the Company's reorganization and restructuring activity, please see "Outlook - Reorganization and Transformation Activity" in its Q1 MD&A.
Tariffs
The majority of the Company's shipments from Canada into the U.S. fall within the current terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement ("USMCA"). In 2026, the U.S. declined to agree to extend the USMCA in its current form, triggering annual joint reviews that will continue until the parties either agree to an extension or the agreement expires on July 1, 2036. Although the USMCA remains in full force and effect, the annual review process, and the ability of any party to withdraw from the agreement on six months' written notice, creates potential long-term uncertainty regarding North American free trade compounded by additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. on certain goods from various jurisdictions globally, including Canada and Europe; and further tariffs and trade agreements continue to be discussed. The potential impact, if any, of revised United States tariffs, including those imposed under Sections 301 and 338, is dependent on specific customer programs and the nature of the Company's work and, at this time, the Company does not expect these tariffs to have a material impact in the near term and continues to assess the potential application of these tariffs.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures
Throughout this document, management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures to evaluate the performance of the Company.
The terms "EBITDA", "organic revenue", "adjusted net income", "adjusted earnings from operations", "adjusted revenues", "adjusted EBITDA", "pro forma adjusted EBITDA", "adjusted basic earnings per share", and "free cash flow", are non-IFRS financial measures, "EBITDA margin", "adjusted earnings from operations margin", "adjusted EBITDA margin", "organic revenue growth", "non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues", and "net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA" are non-IFRS ratios, and "operating margin", "Order Bookings", "organic Order Bookings", "organic Order Bookings growth", "Order Backlog", and "book-to-bill ratio" are supplementary financial measures, all of which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Such measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, management uses "earnings from operations", which is an additional IFRS measure, to evaluate the performance of the Company. Earnings from operations is presented on the Company's consolidated statements of income as net income excluding income tax expense and net finance costs. Operating margin is an expression of the Company's earnings from operations as a percentage of adjusted revenues. EBITDA is defined as earnings from operations excluding depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is an expression of the Company's EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted revenues. Organic revenue is defined as revenues in the stated period excluding adjusted revenues from acquired companies for which the acquired company was not a part of the consolidated group in the comparable period. Organic revenue growth compares the stated period organic revenue with the reported adjusted revenue of the comparable prior period. Adjusted earnings from operations is defined as earnings from operations before items excluded from management's internal analysis of operating results, such as amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, restructuring charges, legal settlement costs that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, the mark-to-market adjustment on stock-based compensation and certain other adjustments which would be non-recurring in nature ("adjustment items"). Adjusted earnings from operations margin is an expression of the Company's adjusted earnings from operations as a percentage of adjusted revenues. Adjusted revenues are defined as revenues before any adjustment items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings from operations excluding depreciation and amortization. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA is adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis to reflect full contribution from recent acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin is an expression of the entity's adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted basic earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income on a basic per share basis, where adjusted net income is defined as adjusted earnings from operations less net finance costs and income tax expense, plus tax effects of adjustment items and adjusted for other significant items of a non-recurring nature. Non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues is defined as the sum of accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, deposits, prepaids and other assets, less accounts payable, accrued liabilities, provisions and contract liabilities divided by the trailing two fiscal quarter adjusted revenues annualized. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less property, plant and equipment and intangible asset expenditures. Net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA is the ratio of the net debt of the Company (cash and cash equivalents less bank indebtedness, long-term debt, and lease liabilities) to the trailing twelve month pro forma adjusted EBITDA. Order Bookings represent new orders for the supply of automation systems, services and products that management believes are firm. Organic Order Bookings are defined as Order Bookings in the stated period excluding Order Bookings from acquired companies for which the acquired company was not a
part of the consolidated group in the comparable period. Organic Order Bookings growth compares the stated period organic Order Bookings with the reported Order Bookings of the comparable prior period. Order Backlog is the estimated unearned portion of revenues on customer contracts that are in process and have not been completed at the specified date. Book to bill ratio is a measure of Order Bookings compared to adjusted revenue.
Following amendments to ATS' RSU Plan in 2022 to provide the Company with the option for settlement in shares purchased in the open market and the creation of the employee benefit trust to facilitate such settlement, ATS began to account for equity-settled RSUs using the equity method of accounting. However, prior RSU grants which will be cash-settled and DSU grants which will be cash-settled are accounted for as described in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and have volatility period over period based on the fluctuating price of ATS' common shares. Certain non-IFRS financial measures (adjusted EBITDA, net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings from operations and adjusted basic earnings per share) exclude the impact on stock-based compensation expense of the revaluation of DSUs and RSUs resulting specifically from the change in market price of the Company's common shares between periods. Management believes that this adjustment provides insight into the Company's performance, as share price volatility drives variability in the Company's stock-based compensation expense.
Operating margin, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted revenues, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are used by the Company to evaluate the performance of its operations. Management believes that earnings from operations is an important indicator in measuring the performance of the Company's operations on a pre-tax basis and without consideration as to how the Company finances its operations. Management believes that adjusted revenues, organic revenue and organic revenue growth, when considered with IFRS measures, allow the Company to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating cash flows to fund continued investment in its operations. Management believes that adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted earnings from operations margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share are important measures to increase comparability of performance between periods. The adjustment items used by management to arrive at these metrics are not considered to be indicative of the business' ongoing operating performance. Management uses the measure "non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues" to assess overall liquidity. Free cash flow is used by the Company to measure cash flow from operations after investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Management uses net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of leverage of the Company. Order Bookings provide an indication of the Company's ability to secure new orders for work during a specified period, while Order Backlog provides a measure of the value of Order Bookings that have not been completed at a specified point in time. Both Order Bookings and Order Backlog are indicators of future revenues that the Company expects to generate based on contracts that management believes to be firm. Organic Order Bookings and organic Order Bookings growth allow the Company to better measure the Company's performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic Order Bookings growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company's performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. Book to bill ratio is used to measure the Company's ability and timeliness to convert Order Bookings into revenues. Management believes that ATS shareholders and potential investors in ATS use these
additional IFRS measures and non-IFRS financial measures in making investment decisions and measuring operational results.
A reconciliation of (i) adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to net income, (ii) adjusted earnings from operations to net income, (iii) adjusted net income to net income, (iv) adjusted basic earnings per share to basic earnings per share (v) free cash flow to its IFRS measure components and (vi) adjusted revenues to revenue and (vii) organic revenue to revenue, in each case for the three months ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025 is contained in this document (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). This document also contains a reconciliation of (i) non-cash working capital as a percentage of adjusted revenues and (ii) net debt to their IFRS measure components, in each case at both June 28, 2026 and March 31, 2026 (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). A reconciliation of Order Bookings and Order Backlog to total Company revenues for the three months ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025 is also contained in this news release (see "Order Backlog Continuity").
