ATS Reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
05/28/2026
Cambridge, ON / BUSINESS WIRE / ATS Corporation (TSX and NYSE: ATS) ("ATS" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2026. All references to "$" or "dollars" in this news release are to Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Fourth quarter highlights:
•Revenues were $747.1 million (adjusted revenues1 $744.3 million) compared to $574.2 million (adjusted revenues $721.1 million) a year ago.
•Net loss was $16.2 million compared to net loss $68.9 million a year ago.
•Basic loss per share were 16 cents, compared to loss per share of 70 cents a year ago.
•Adjusted EBITDA1 was $102.5 million compared to $97.1 million a year ago.
•Adjusted basic earnings per share1 were 36 cents compared to 41 cents a year ago.
•Order Bookings2 were $704 million, compared to $863 million a year ago.
•Order Backlog2 was $1,958 million, compared to $2,139 million a year ago.
“Today ATS reported fourth quarter and full-year results for fiscal 2026, with full-year revenue and adjusted earnings from operations growth of approximately 11%, reflecting solid execution across the platform.” said Doug Wright, Chief Executive Officer. “In the quarter, we took decisive steps to restructure and reposition our transportation-related businesses; we are consolidating certain operations and right-sizing our facility footprint, while repositioning our engineering and automation capabilities into applications where our differentiation creates greater value and the return profile is more attractive.”
Year-to-date highlights:
•Revenues were $2,972.9 million (adjusted revenues1 $2,970.1 million) compared to $2,533.3 million (adjusted revenues $2,680.2 million) a year ago.
•Net income was $71.7 million compared to a loss of $28.0 million a year ago.
•Basic earnings per share were 73 cents, compared to a loss of 29 cents a year ago.
•Adjusted EBITDA1 was $413.0 million compared to $368.9 million a year ago.
•Adjusted basic earnings per share1 were $1.69 compared to $1.47 a year ago.
•Order Bookings2 were $2,952 million, compared to $3,305 million a year ago.
Mr. Wright added: "We closed out fiscal 2026 with leverage and working capital within target ranges, and a backlog that provides solid revenue visibility into fiscal 2027. These actions, including our reorganization initiatives, leave us better positioned as we enter the new fiscal year, with increased financial flexibility and a clear focus on margin expansion, free cash flow and disciplined capital deployment, alongside a more focused portfolio and improved cost structure."

Fourth quarter summary
Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 revenues were 30.1% or $172.9 million higher than in the corresponding period a year ago, primarily reflecting a year-over-year increase in organic revenue (excluding contributions from acquired companies and foreign exchange translation) of $10.8 million or 1.5%, in addition to the $146.9 million impact from the one-time settlement with an electric vehicle ("EV") customer in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, revenues were 3.2% or $23.2 million higher than in the corresponding period a year ago. Revenues generated from construction contracts decreased 3.4% or $13.8 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 17.2% or $27.4 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 6.0% or $9.6 million primarily due to organic revenue growth on higher Order Backlog entering the period.
By market, revenues generated in life sciences decreased $38.9 million or 9.3% year over year. This was primarily due to a decrease in organic revenue growth on lower Order Backlog entering the quarter as the prior year included several large enterprise Order Bookings in life sciences. Revenues generated in consumer products increased $71.9 million or 80.6% year over year primarily due to organic revenue growth, including contributions from warehouse packaging automation projects. Revenues generated in
food & beverage decreased $2.2 million or 1.9% from the corresponding period last year due to timing of customer projects. Revenues in energy increased $34.2 million or 101.5% year over year due to organic revenue growth on higher Backlog Order entering the quarter, including execution of nuclear projects. Revenues in transportation decreased $41.8 million or 61.1% year over year due to lower Order Backlog entering the quarter, as expected.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $16.2 million ((16) cents per share basic), compared to net loss of $68.9 million ((70) cent per share basic) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The improvement primarily reflected higher revenues, partially offset by increased SG&A. Adjusted basic earnings per share were 36 cents compared to 41 cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $46.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $38.0 million a year ago. This increase was primarily due to the services reorganization — see "Reorganization Activity."
EBITDA was $54.9 million (7.4% EBITDA margin) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $(75.6) million ((10.5)% EBITDA margin) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 included $15.2 million of restructuring charges, $0.1 million of incremental costs related to acquisition activity, $28.3 million related to the impact of the transportation reorganization, $2.6 million related to the impact of the services reorganization, $1.3 million related to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 CEO inducement costs and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation revaluation expense of cash-settled awards. EBITDA for the corresponding period in the prior year included $3.5 million of restructuring charges, $0.9 million of incremental costs related to acquisition activity, $0.6 million of acquisition-related fair value adjustments to acquired inventories, $171.1 million of impact from the one-time settlement with an EV customer, and $3.4 million of recoveries of stock-based compensation revaluation expenses. Excluding these amounts, adjusted EBITDA was $102.5 million (13.8% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $97.1 million (13.5% adjusted EBITDA margin) for the corresponding period in the prior year. Higher adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected increased adjusted revenues, partially offset by increased SG&A.

2.Order Backlog adjustments include incremental Order Backlog of acquired companies ($12 million acquired with Paxiom Group ("Paxiom") in the twelve months ended March 31, 2025), foreign exchange adjustments, and normal course scope changes and cancellations and the removal of Order Backlog related to the Company's disagreement with one of its EV customers in fiscal 2025.
Order Bookings
Fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 Order Bookings were $704 million, a 18.4% year-over-year decrease, reflecting a 19.3% decline in organic Order Bookings, partially offset by 0.9% from the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. By market, Order Bookings in life sciences decreased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the timing of customer capital investment cycles. Order Bookings within life sciences in the quarter were well diversified, including orders for radiopharmaceutical applications and for medical device automation solutions outside of autoinjector (GLP-1) assembly equipment. Order Bookings in both consumer products and energy decreased from the prior period primarily due to timing of customer orders, while Order Bookings in food & beverage increased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to timing of customer orders in addition to the positive impact of foreign exchange translation.Order Bookings in transportation decreased, as expected, based on end-market capacity requirements, particularly in EV.
Trailing twelve month book-to-bill ratio at March 31, 2026 was 0.99:1 reflecting the Company's execution against a strong backlog built over the prior fiscal year, as previously secured orders converted into revenues. Order Bookings, organic Order Bookings growth and book-to-bill ratio are supplementary financial measures — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
Backlog
At March 31, 2026, Order Backlog was $1,958 million, 8.5% lower than at March 31, 2025.
Outlook
The life sciences funnel remains strong and diversified, with opportunities in strategic submarkets such as pharmaceuticals, radiopharmaceuticals, and medical devices. Management continues to identify opportunities with both new and existing customers, including those who produce diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, auto-injectors, wearable devices, automated pharmacy solutions, contact lenses and pre-filled syringes, as well as opportunities to provide life science solutions that leverage integrated capabilities from across ATS. ATS serves customers in laboratory research where government funding in the U.S. has been and continues to be constrained. However, management has not seen a material impact on its overall life sciences funnel activity. ATS is also advancing a coordinated go-to-market reorganization across its lab equipment businesses, with early pipeline activity building. Funnel activity in consumer products is stable, although discretionary spending by consumers, influenced by factors such as inflationary pressures, may impact timing of some customer investments in the Company's solutions. Funnel activity in food & beverage remains strong. The Company continues to benefit from strong brand recognition within global tomato processing, as well as other soft fruit and vegetable processing industries. There is continued demand for automated solutions within the food & beverage market more broadly, in areas such as secondary processing and packaging. Funnel activity in energy remains strong and includes longer-term opportunities in the nuclear industry. The Company is focused on clean energy applications including solutions for the refurbishment of nuclear power plants, early participation in the new reactor build market, including small modular reactors, and grid battery storage. In transportation, the funnel consists of opportunities reflective of current end-market capacity needs and ATS' specialized capabilities, which can support customers as opportunities arise, including automation solutions that support the assembly and testing of automotive components and systems, primarily for EV. The capabilities of the ATS businesses historically focused on transportation are expected to continue to build their unique capabilities and technologies for use in other industrial 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 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.
Order Backlog of $1,958 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 first quarter of fiscal 2027, management expects to generate revenues in the range of $700 million to $740 million. This 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. For fiscal 2027, the Company expects modest revenue growth, reflecting continued demand across its diversified global end markets, while the ongoing reorganization of its transportation-related operations is expected to remove dilutive revenues of approximately $50 million. Additionally, Life Sciences enters fiscal 2027 with a more normalized backlog, having worked through the strong bookings from fiscal 2025. Neither factor reflects a change in the underlying demand environment or the Company's expectations to outperform growth in its chosen markets over time. Over the long term, the Company's objective is to grow revenues at a rate that exceeds the underlying growth of its chosen end markets, supported by its global scale, technology differentiation, and disciplined execution of the ABM.
Adjusted earnings from operations margin is expected to improve by approximately 50 to 75 basis points in fiscal 2027. This improvement is expected to be achieved through a combination of lower costs achieved from the transportation reorganization (see "Reorganization Activity"), disciplined execution of the ABM across the portfolio, targeted commercial practices, and an improved after-market mix supported by the integration of services directly into the Company's operating units. A portion of the savings from the reorganization will be reinvested in higher-growth areas, including the Company's nuclear business, where management sees meaningful long-term opportunity. Margin improvement will not be linear across quarters and should be considered on a full-year basis. The Company's long-term adjusted earnings from operations margin target of 15% remains unchanged. As progress is made toward this target, the Company may update its long-term margin objectives. Adjusted earnings from operations margin is a non-IFRS ratio — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."
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 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. 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. ATS expects reoccurring revenues to be in the range of 25%-35% on a trailing twelve month basis.
The Company maintains a sustained focus on non-cash working capital. Over the long term, the Company expects to continue investing in non-cash working capital to support growth, with some fluctuations expected on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The Company's long-term goal is to maintain its investment in non-cash working capital as a percentage of annualized revenues below 15%. 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 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 Activity
The Company periodically undertakes reviews of its operations to ensure alignment with strategic market opportunities and other operational efficiency opportunities.
Restructuring costs
The Company previously disclosed expected restructuring costs of approximately $20 million in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, restructuring expenses of $15.2 million were recorded in relation to these activities, bringing the total cost for the year ended March 31, 2026, to $23.1 million. This includes costs from the Company's previously announced fiscal 2025 restructuring program, as well as the fiscal 2026 initiative. Combined, this is consistent with the Company's previously disclosed expectations.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company expects restructuring costs of approximately $5 million related to transportation-related divisions and approximately $5 million to $10 million related to other parts of the business, as warranted. As part of transportation-related restructuring, three smaller facilities in the U.S. will be closed. The Company will continue to evaluate its cost structure throughout fiscal 2027 as event-driven opportunities are identified across the portfolio, with a specific focus on margin expansion.
Other reorganization activities
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, after a thorough review, the Company identified additional opportunities to continue the realignment of the cost structure and capital needs of its transportation-related businesses, including consolidation of remaining transportation-focused standalone divisions, and addressing excess facility capacity. Two facilities in the U.S. and one facility in Germany are 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 restructuring activities and other related costs associated with exiting these businesses and concluding the Company's obligations with respect to legacy customer contracts.
As part of these actions, the Company is repositioning its transportation-related activities by applying engineering and automation capabilities, including areas such as laser welding, machine vision and high-precision testing, into other applications where the Company's capability and customer's needs align. As these businesses are repositioned and given they represent a smaller portion of the business overall, the Company expects that, in the coming quarters, transportation will no longer be reported as a separate market vertical.
Included in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 net loss is $28.3 million relating to costs directly associated with the transportation reorganization activities noted above, including aged inventory adjustments, and impairment charges and costs associated with completing existing legacy customer contracts. In addition, included in net loss is $9.8 million of costs associated with the Company's previously announced initiative to embed its growing services business within its operating units. These amounts represent $7.2 million of amortization costs associated with redundant assets as well as additional costs to complete remaining legacy (primarily transportation related) customer contracts. The reorganization costs are included as non-IFRS adjusting items in adjusted net income – see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures."
The restructuring and reorganization activity is expected to support the Company's margin expansion initiatives throughout fiscal 2027.
Tariffs
The majority of the Company's shipments from Canada into the U.S. fall within the current terms of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement ("USMCA"). However, the U.S. has imposed tariffs on certain goods from various jurisdictions globally, including Canada and Europe; and further tariffs and trade agreements continue to be discussed. 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. As with prior tariffs, the potential impact, if any, of the revised Section 232 tariffs 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. 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, and was just over 20% of the Company's total adjusted revenues for the year ended March 31, 2026. Adjusted revenues is a non-IFRS financial measure — see "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures."

Notice to Readers: 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, "operating margin", "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 "reoccurring revenues", "custom integration and automation systems revenues", "products and equipment revenues", "service including spare parts revenues", "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 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 revenues 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. Reoccurring revenue for ATS is defined as adjusted revenues from ancillary products and services
associated with equipment sales and revenue from customers who purchase non-customized ATS products at regular intervals. Custom integration and automation systems revenues are defined as adjusted revenues from end-to-end manufacturing solutions customized to customer needs. Products and equipment revenues are defined as adjusted revenues from modular or standardized equipment and other products. Services including spare parts revenues are defined as revenues from consulting, digital and other services, including aftermarket services and spares. 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. Reoccurring revenues, custom integration
revenues, products and equipment revenues and service including spare parts revenues are used by the Company to understand the revenue portfolio 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 (loss), (ii) adjusted net income to net income (loss), (iii) adjusted basic earnings per share to basic earnings (loss) per share (iv) 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- and twelve-months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 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 March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 (see "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures to IFRS Measures"). A reconciliation of adjusted earnings from operations to earnings (loss) from operations for the three- and twelve-months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 is also contained in this document (see "Consolidated Operating Results"). A reconciliation of Order Bookings and Order Backlog to total Company revenues for the three- and twelve-months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 is also contained in this document (see "Order Backlog Continuity").
