NowVertical Group Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

TORONTO, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NowVertical Group Inc. (TSXV:NOW) ("NOW" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-driven data solutions, announces financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. Management will host an investor webinar at 11:00 AM ET (8:00 AM PT) on Wednesday May 27th, to discuss the Company's financial and business results.

"Our priorities over the past several quarters have been delivering consistent revenue and Adjusted EBITDA while progressively improving the quality of the underlying revenue mix, and Q1 2026 continues that trajectory," said Sandeep Mendiratta, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

"In Q1 2026, our Top 30 Strategic Accounts grew 9% from Q1 2025 and now represent 73% of total revenue, up from 62% in Q1 2025. Google Cloud revenue grew 84% to $2.7 million in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, and Integration revenue grew 58% to $1.9 million in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. As these higher-margin areas accelerate, lower-margin reselling revenue continues to roll off, which is exactly the shift in mix we have been working toward.

Operationally, our focus remains consistent: connecting customer and finance data to measurable outcomes, proving value early, and scaling through AI-enhanced delivery. With NowUnlock now live and our recognition as Google Cloud Data & Analytics Partner of the Year for Latin America for the second consecutive year, we are executing this model with discipline as we move through 2026."

Selected Financial Highlights for the Three Months ended March 31, 2026:

Revenue was $9.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 ("Q1 2026"), a 6% decrease from $10.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025"), due to a decrease in Brazil license and maintenance reselling revenue.  

Gross Profit was $4.7 million in Q1 2026, an 8% decrease from $5.1 million in Q1 2025, due to lower Brazil license and maintenance reselling revenue. Gross profit margin was 48% in Q1 2026 compared to 50% in Q1 2025.

Administrative Expenses were $3.6 million in Q1 2026, consistent with $3.6 million in Q1 2025.

Income from Operations was $1.1 million in Q1 2026, a 26% decrease from $1.5 million in Q1 2025, mainly due to lower gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.8 million and 18% of revenue in Q1 2026, a 30% decrease from $2.5 million and 24% of revenue in Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, see "Non-IFRS Measures" below.
