Q3 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
Backlog of $4.6 billion at quarter-end provides good revenue visibility for 2025 and beyond and was up 49% compared to Q3 2023. The year-over-year increase in backlog is driven by new order bookings including the $1 billion award for Phases C/D of the Canadarm3 program announced in Q2 2024.Revenues of $282.4 million in Q3 2024 were up 38.0% year-over-year driven by higher work volumes across the business with strong contributions from the Satellite Systems and Robotics & Space Operations businesses.Adjusted EBITDA of $55.5 million in Q3 2024 compared to $42.8 million in Q3 2023, representing an increase of $12.7 million (or 29.7%) year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.7% in Q3 2024 is consistent with the Company’s full year margin guidance of 19-20% and compares to adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.9% reported in the third quarter of 2023.Adjusted net income for Q3 2024 was $34.7 million compared to $21.7 million in Q3 2023, representing an increase of $13.0 million (or 59.9%) year-over-year driven by higher operating income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.28 in Q3 2024 compared to $0.18 in Q3 2023, representing an increase of 55.6% year-over-year.Operating cash flow was $258.8 million in Q3 2024 compared to $(30.0) million in Q3 2023. The year-over-year increase in operating cash flow was driven by positive working capital contributions primarily related to the Telesat Lightspeed program.At quarter-end, net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 0.8x compared to 2.4x as of December 2023 (2.0x as of June 30, 2024) as the Company utilized its strong operating cash flow in Q3 2024 to make repayments to its revolving credit facility and deleverage the balance sheet while continuing to invest in its growth initiatives.

2024 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
As a trusted mission partner and leading global space technology provider, we are leveraging our capabilities and expertise to execute on targeted growth strategies across our end markets and business areas. Our strategic initiatives, which span across our three businesses, include investing in next generation space technology and services, expanding our presence in high growth markets and geographies, scaling and expanding skills, talent and operations to meet current and future market demand and leveraging strategic M&A to complement organic growth. We continue to make good progress against our long-term strategic plan.
MDA Space is well positioned to capitalize on strong customer demand and robust market activity given our diverse and proven technology offerings. Our growth pipeline is significant and underpinned by existing and new programs and our book of business is healthy. We see activities ramping up in line with our expectations and are encouraged by the team’s solid execution.
For fiscal 2024, we are raising our full year revenue guidance to $1,045 – $1,065 million from $1,020 – $1,060 million previously, representing robust year-over-year growth of approximately 30% at the mid-point of guidance compared to 2023 levels. We are narrowing our full year adjusted EBITDA range to $205 – $210 million from $200 – $210 million previously, representing approximately 19% – 20% adjusted EBITDA margin. We reaffirm our expectations that capital expenditures will be $200 – $220 million, comprising primarily growth investments to support CHORUS and the previously outlined growth initiatives across our three business areas. We continue to expect favourable working capital contributions related to the Telesat Lightspeed program to result in positive free cash flow in 2024 allowing us to continue to deleverage our balance sheet

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit reflects our revenues less cost of revenues. Q3 2024 gross profit of $75.7 million represents a $18.0 million (or 31.2%) increase over Q3 2023 driven by higher work volume in the current quarter. Gross margin in Q3 2024 was 26.8%, which is in line with the Company’s expectations and compares to gross margin of 28.2% in Q3 2023. The year- over-year change in gross margin is driven by evolving program mix and higher depreciation expense as new assets come into service.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gross profit of $199.8 million represents a $13.6 million (or 7.3%) increase over 2023 levels. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 27.2% which is in line with the Company’s expectations and compares to 30.9% for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year change in gross profit and gross margin metrics is driven by evolving program mix and higher depreciation expense as new assets come into service.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $55.5 million compared with $42.8 million for the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of $12.7 million (or 29.7%) year-over-year driven by higher volume of work and steady operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.7% for the third quarter of 2024 is consistent with the Company’s full year margin guidance of 19-20% and compares to adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.9% reported in the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $146.2 million compared with $132.1 million for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of $14.1 million (or 10.7%) year-over-year. The improvement was driven by higher volumes of work performed year-over-year somewhat offset by program mix. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with 21.9% for the same period in 2023.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $34.7 million compared with $21.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of $13.0 million (or 59.9%) year-over-year driven by higher operating income in the latest quarter.
Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $76.0 million compared with $70.1 million for the same period in 2023, representing a increase of $5.9 million (or 8.4%) year-over-year driven by the aforementioned gross profit variance.
Backlog
Backlog is comprised of our remaining performance obligations which represent the transaction price of firm orders less inception to date revenue recognized and excludes unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery or indefinite quantity contracts. Backlog as at September 30, 2024 was $4,578.1 million, an increase of $1,509.4 million compared with the backlog at September 30, 2023 driven by new order bookings, partially offset by continued conversion of our backlog into revenue. The following table shows the build up of backlog for Q3 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, the measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Order Bookings, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow, to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before: i) depreciation and amortization expenses, ii) provision for (recovery of) income taxes, and iii) finance costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding to and deducting from EBITDA, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management’s view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including i) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss ii) unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments and iii) share-based compensation expenses, and iv) other items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Order Bookings is the dollar sum of contract values of firm customer contracts. Adjusted Net Income is calculated by adding to and deducting from net income, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management’s view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including i) amortization of intangible assets related to business combinations, ii) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, iii) unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, and iv) share-based compensation expenses, and iv) other items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted Earnings per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Order Bookings is indicative of firm future revenues; however, it does not provide a guarantee of future net income and provides no information about the timing of future revenue. Net Debt is the total carrying amount of long-term debt including current portions, as presented in the Q2 2024 Financial Statements, less cash (or plus bank indebtedness) and excluding any lease liabilities. Net Debt is a liquidity metric used to determine how well the Company can pay all of its debts if they were due immediately. Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure used to monitor the availability of discretionary cash generated, and available to the Company to repay debt, make strategic investments, and meet other payment obligations. We define Free Cash Flow as operating cash flows less net capital expenditures.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release may contain forward‐looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, which reflects the Company’s current expectations regarding future events. Forward‐looking information is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward‐looking information. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form (AIF) dated February 28, 2024 and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com. MDA Space does not undertake any obligation to update such forward‐looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the focus on healthy lifestyles grows worldwide, CaloPal introduces a groundbreaking AI-powered calorie tracking assistant, providing global users with a simple and scientific tool for weight management. Using advanced AI technology, CaloPal helps users track their daily calorie intake in real time and offers personalized dietary and health management advice, simplifying the health management process and creating a more effective weight loss solution.
Science shows that the core of weight loss lies in balancing calorie intake and expenditure. However, many people don’t fully understand the connection between food and calories, making it challenging to track food calories and plan calorie intake. Previously, people had to manually input data and perform complex operations to obtain relevant information, which made these tools cumbersome and hard to maintain over time. Additionally, earlier health tools such as calorie counter and calorie tracker couldn’t offer personalized dietary advice, making weight control a lengthy and frustrating process. Now, everything is about to change. CaloPal ensures calorie data accuracy while providing users with personalized dietary recommendations, making weight loss a much easier journey.
Nick, the founder of CaloPal, stated, “CaloPal is a revolutionary AI calorie tracking application designed for users focused on health and weight management. We’ve simplified the calorie tracking process with the latest AI technology. Users only need to take a photo of their food, and CaloPal will automatically identify the food type, analyze its components, calculate calories, and provide a nutritional breakdown. CaloPal allows users to effortlessly track their daily calorie intake without manual input, making health management much more convenient and supporting long-term calorie tracking. Additionally, CaloPal offers personalized dietary recommendations based on users’ data, helping them achieve their weight management goals more easily through balanced nutrition.”
CaloPal assists users in controlling weight through the following features:
Smart Food RecognitionReal-Time Nutritional Data AnalysisPersonalized Weight Loss RecommendationsDiet and Weight Tracking
CaloPal is now available for users to try for free through the app (App Store download link: CaloPal on App Store) and the website, Fitness Pal will be released later this month。For more information about this product and the latest updates on CaloPal, please visit our website:https://calopal.ai/
