• SaaS revenue grows 16% (constant currency ¹ 17%), adjusted EBITDA ¹ margin of 25%
• Annual recurring revenue ² grows 14% (constant currency ¹ 14%)
• FY 2025 guidance reiterated after solid first quarter

Kinaxis ^® (TSX:KXS), the leading provider of supply chain orchestration solutions, reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025. All amounts are in U.S. dollars. All figures are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) unless otherwise indicated.

“New business was solid in Q1, as expansions from existing customers hit record levels for a first quarter. While tariffs have created massive uncertainty across markets globally, our fiscal 2025 guidance remains firmly in sight,” said Bob Courteau, interim chief executive officer at Kinaxis. “In April, our flagship industry event, Kinexions, drew a record-breaking 1,000 supply chain community experts who gathered to learn from leaders like ExxonMobil, General Motors, Pfizer and Colgate-Palmolive. Attendees were hands-on with Maestro’s latest generative AI and agentic AI capabilities, which further extend our lead over competitors and will be available for subscription to initial customers in the second half of 2025. We're also thrilled with the feedback on our new Tariff Response offering, which offers prospective customers a powerful preview of Maestro's powers to tackle one of the most complex challenges supply chain practitioners have ever faced.”

Key Performance Indicators
The company’s Annual Recurring Revenue ² (ARR), which includes subscription amounts related to both SaaS and on-premise contracts, rose to $372 million at the end of the quarter, or 14% growth as-reported and in constant currency ¹ .

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 March 31, 2025.

Financial Guidance
Kinaxis is reiterating its fiscal 2025 financial guidance, as follows.

"We're pleased to report our third consecutive Rule of 40 quarter. Despite the challenges to customers of a constantly-changing tariff environment, new business in the quarter was solid and kept our ARR growth rate on a positive trajectory both on an as-reported and constant currency basis," said Blaine Fitzgerald, chief financial officer at Kinaxis . "Our profit, earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA all hit record levels, with Adjusted EBITDA growing 46% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA margin growing to 25%, reflecting dramatically improved profitability. We're pleased with how the business is executing and the strong results we're delivering."

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 the changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, our equity compensation plans, special charges, and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA represents profit adjusted to exclude the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, our equity compensation plans, special charges, non-recurring items, 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:

We also present certain IFRS measures, SaaS revenue and total revenue, and non-IFRS supplementary measures, ARR, under constant currency. We believe that presenting these measures under constant currency provides a useful framework for assessing estimates of how our business would have performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. The presentation of financial results under constant currency is considered to be a non-IFRS measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies (including our peers). For SaaS revenue and total revenue under constant currency, results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period. For constant currency ARR, we convert all non-USD-denominated recurring subscription amounts at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates in effect at the end of the current period. The outlook for constant currency SaaS revenue growth rate is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates expected during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of the above results and metrics, and applicable related growth rates, adjusted for constant currency facilitates the corresponding year‑over‑year comparisons.

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 and Subscription term licenses revenue, and our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA margin achievement, in each case looking forward for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025;
• SaaS growth and increased profitability in years beyond 2025; and
• contracted revenue in future periods, including 2025, 2026 and 2027 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 2025 annual total revenue, annual SaaS and Subscription term license revenue and annual Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as our comments on our expectations for SaaS growth and increased profitability in years beyond 2025, 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 2025, 2026 and 2027 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. Material risks and uncertainties relating to our business are described under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risks and Uncertainties” in our annual MD&A dated February 26, 2025, and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Information Form dated February 26, 2025, which are available at www.sedarplus.ca . Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise or inaccurate and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on such information. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information or financial outlook. Forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information and financial outlook are provided to help readers understand management’s expectations as at the date of this release and may not be suitable for other purposes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Kinaxis assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, future-oriented financial information or financial outlook whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by law.
