"Our performance builds on the strongest first half in Kinaxis' history and gives us the confidence to raise our full-year guidance for total revenue and SaaS revenue growth. At the same time, we're accelerating innovation in Maestro, building a composable agentic AI platform that helps customers connect data, decisions, and actions to deliver unprecedented business outcomes with operational orchestration."

Financial Highlights $ USD thousands, except as otherwise indicated Q2 2026 Q2 2025 Change Total Revenue 158,783 136,415 16% SaaS 106,546 88,437 20% Subscription term licenses 5,732 5,057 13 % Professional services 42,064 37,394 12 % Maintenance and support 4,441 5,527 (20) % Gross profit Margin 104,436 66% 87,531 64% 19 % Profit Per diluted share 21,198 $0.76 18,439 $0.64 15 % Adjusted EBITDA 1 Margin 41,353 26% 33,730 25% 23 % Cash flows from operating activities 30,711 22,566 36 % (1) “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS measure that is not a recognized, defined or standardized measure under IFRS. This measure as well as any other non-IFRS financial measures reported by Kinaxis are defined in the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of this news release. Annual Recurring Revenue Annual Recurring Revenue 2 (ARR), which includes subscription amounts related to both SaaS and on-premise contracts, increased 19% year-over-year to $465.6 million at the end of the quarter. ARR 2 grew 21% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, excluding a negative impact of approximately $1.0 million from FX at the end of the quarter. $USD millions Q2 2026 Q2 2025 Change Annual recurring revenue 2 465.6 391.0 19 % (2) Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the total annualized value of recurring subscription amounts (ultimately recognized as SaaS, Subscription term licenses and Maintenance and support revenue) of all subscription contracts at a point in time. Annualized subscription amounts are determined solely by reference to the underlying contracts, normalizing for the varying revenue recognition treatments under IFRS 15 for cloud-based versus on-premise subscription amounts. It excludes one-time fees, such as for non-recurring professional services, and assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, unless such renewal is known to be unlikely. We believe that this measure provides a more current indication of our performance in the growth of our subscription business than other metrics. Remaining Performance Obligations The nature of the company’s long-term contracts provides visibility into future, contracted revenue. The following table presents revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at June 30, 2026.

Raising SaaS revenue growth from 17% to 19% year-over-year to a range of 18% to 20% year-over-year. Reaffirming Adjusted EBITDA 1 margin is expected to be in the range of 25% to 26%. In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing fiscal 2026 FX estimates for modeling purposes.

We expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 27.3 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 27.7 million shares. These share count forecasts do not include the impact of any share repurchases the Company may pursue in the future.

Non-IFRS Measures This press release makes reference to Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-IFRS financial measures, as well as Adjusted EBITDA margin which expresses Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized, defined or standardized measures under IFRS. We use these measures to provide investors with supplemental information on our operating performance and to highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Providing these non-IFRS measures provides useful information because they portray the financial results of the Company before certain expenses that do not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by management. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital expenditure and working capital requirements, and to determine components of employee compensation. Adjusted Profit represents profit adjusted to exclude our equity compensation plans. Adjusted EBITDA represents profit adjusted to exclude our equity compensation plans, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange loss (gain) and net finance (income) expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin expresses Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Our definitions of Adjusted Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin will likely differ from those used by other companies (including our peers) and therefore comparability may be limited. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered a substitute for or in isolation from measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on non-IFRS measures and view them in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. Kinaxis has reconciled Adjusted Profit and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable IFRS financial measure as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 (In thousands of USD) (In thousands of USD) Profit 21,198 18,439 50,618 34,352 Share-based compensation 12,100 10,374 20,720 19,721 Adjusted profit 33,298 28,813 71,338 54,073 Income tax expense 7,130 3,757 21,045 9,497 Depreciation and amortization 4,568 4,982 9,244 10,405 Foreign exchange gain (1,311) (1,099) (1,805) (2,013) Net finance income (2,332) (2,723) (4,866) (5,089) 8,055 4,917 23,618 12,800 Adjusted EBITDA 41,353 33,730 94,956 66,873 Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue 26 % 25 % 29 % 25 % Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this release constitute forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook include statements as to our expectations for: growth of annual total revenue, annual SaaS revenue growth, and our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA margin achievement, in each case looking forward for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2026; SaaS growth and increased profitability in years beyond 2026; and contracted revenue in future periods, including 2026, 2027 and 2028 and later. This release also includes forward-looking statements as to Kinaxis’ growth opportunities and the potential benefits of, and markets and demand for, Kinaxis’ products and services. These statements are subject to certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including our view of the relative position of Kinaxis’ products and services compared to competitive offerings in the industry. In particular, our guidance for 2026 annual total revenue, annual SaaS revenue growth and annual Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as our comments on our expectations for SaaS growth and increased profitability in years beyond 2026, are subject to certain assumptions and associated risks including: our ability to win business from new customers and expand business from existing customers; the timing of new customer wins and expansion decisions by our existing customers; maintaining our customer retention levels, and specifically, that customers will renew contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, at rates consistent with our historic experience; anticipated trends, standards and challenges in our business and the markets we operate in; fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar; and with respect to Adjusted EBITDA and profitability, our ability to contain expense levels while expanding our business. Our guidance and commentary for achievement of contracted revenue in future periods, including in 2026, 2027 and 2028 and later, is based on assumptions and associated risks including: our ability to satisfy material unperformed obligations under our long-term contracts; and the continued financial capacity and creditworthiness of our customers under long-term contracts. These and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties may cause Kinaxis’ actual results, performance, achievements and developments to differ materially from the results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information or financial outlook.
