[10-Q] Tucows, Inc Quarterly Earnings Report
BioAtla, Inc. (BCAB) filed its Q2-25 Form 10-Q. Cash & cash equivalents fell to $18.2 m from $49.0 m at 12/31/24 after $30.4 m operating cash burn in H1-25. Management states 鈥渟ubstantial doubt鈥� about the company鈥檚 ability to continue as a going concern beyond the next 12 months without new financing.
Q2 results show meaningful cost containment: R&D expense declined 15% YoY to $13.7 m; G&A fell 14% to $5.0 m. Net loss narrowed to $(18.7 m) / $(0.32) ps from $(21.1 m)/(0.44) ps, and the six-month loss improved to $(34.0 m) from $(44.3 m).
The March-25 restructuring eliminated ~30 % of staff; June-25 lease amendment cut office space, creating a $6.0 m right-of-use asset. A December-24 equity raise brought in $9.2 m and issued 9.7 m five-year warrants (FV liability now $2.2 m, generating a $1.6 m H1 fair-value gain).
No product or licensing revenue was recorded; pipeline continues with four active CAB programs in Phase 1/2. H1 R&D spend concentrated on AXL-ADC (BA3011, $6.0 m), ROR2-ADC (BA3021, $3.3 m), CTLA-4 (BA3071, $3.2 m) and EpCAM 脳 CD3 bispecific (BA3182, $3.1 m).
Liquidity is the critical risk. Management is evaluating equity, debt or partnership options; failure to secure capital may force further cuts or program delays.
BioAtla, Inc. (BCAB) ha presentato il suo modulo 10-Q per il secondo trimestre 2025. La liquidit脿 e le disponibilit脿 liquide sono scese a 18,2 milioni di dollari da 49,0 milioni al 31/12/24, a seguito di un consumo operativo di cassa di 30,4 milioni di dollari nella prima met脿 del 2025. La direzione esprime 鈥済ravi dubbi鈥� sulla capacit脿 dell鈥檃zienda di continuare l鈥檃ttivit脿 nei prossimi 12 mesi senza nuovi finanziamenti.
I risultati del secondo trimestre mostrano un significativo contenimento dei costi: le spese per R&S sono diminuite del 15% su base annua a 13,7 milioni di dollari; le spese generali e amministrative sono calate del 14% a 5,0 milioni di dollari. La perdita netta si 猫 ridotta a (18,7 milioni di dollari) / (0,32 dollari per azione) rispetto a (21,1 milioni) / (0,44 dollari per azione), mentre la perdita semestrale 猫 migliorata a (34,0 milioni) da (44,3 milioni).
La ristrutturazione di marzo 2025 ha eliminato circa il 30% del personale; la modifica del contratto di locazione di giugno 2025 ha ridotto gli spazi ufficio, generando un attivo per diritto d鈥檜so di 6,0 milioni di dollari. Un aumento di capitale a dicembre 2024 ha raccolto 9,2 milioni di dollari e ha emesso 9,7 milioni di warrant quinquennali (passivit脿 a fair value ora pari a 2,2 milioni, con un guadagno a fair value di 1,6 milioni di dollari nella prima met脿 dell鈥檃nno).
Non sono stati registrati ricavi da prodotti o licenze; il portafoglio continua con quattro programmi CAB attivi in fase 1/2. La spesa R&S nella prima met脿 dell鈥檃nno si 猫 concentrata su AXL-ADC (BA3011, 6,0 milioni), ROR2-ADC (BA3021, 3,3 milioni), CTLA-4 (BA3071, 3,2 milioni) e bispecifico EpCAM 脳 CD3 (BA3182, 3,1 milioni).
La liquidit脿 rappresenta il rischio critico. La direzione sta valutando opzioni di equity, debito o partnership; il mancato reperimento di capitale potrebbe costringere a ulteriori tagli o ritardi nei programmi.

BioAtla, Inc. (BCAB) hat seinen 10-Q-Bericht f眉r das zweite Quartal 2025 eingereicht. Die liquiden Mittel und Zahlungsmittel盲quivalente sanken von 49,0 Mio. USD zum 31.12.24 auf 18,2 Mio. USD nach einem operativen Cash-Burn von 30,4 Mio. USD im ersten Halbjahr 2025. Das Management 盲u脽ert 鈥瀍rhebliche Zweifel鈥� an der F盲higkeit des Unternehmens, ohne neue Finanzierung 眉ber die n盲chsten 12 Monate hinaus fortzuf眉hren.
Die Ergebnisse des zweiten Quartals zeigen eine deutliche Kostenkontrolle: Die F&E-Ausgaben sanken im Jahresvergleich um 15 % auf 13,7 Mio. USD; die allgemeinen Verwaltungsaufwendungen fielen um 14 % auf 5,0 Mio. USD. Der Nettoverlust verringerte sich auf (18,7 Mio. USD) / (0,32 USD pro Aktie) von (21,1 Mio.) / (0,44 USD pro Aktie), und der Halbjahresverlust verbesserte sich auf (34,0 Mio.) von (44,3 Mio.).
Die Restrukturierung im M盲rz 2025 f眉hrte zum Abbau von etwa 30 % der Mitarbeiter; die Mietvertrags盲nderung im Juni 2025 reduzierte die B眉rofl盲chen und schuf einen 6,0 Mio. USD Nutzungsrecht-Asset. Eine Kapitalerh枚hung im Dezember 2024 brachte 9,2 Mio. USD ein und es wurden 9,7 Mio. f眉nfj盲hrige Warrants ausgegeben (Fair-Value-Verbindlichkeit jetzt 2,2 Mio., was einen 1,6 Mio. USD Fair-Value-Gewinn im ersten Halbjahr generierte).
Keine Ums盲tze aus Produkten oder Lizenzen wurden erfasst; die Pipeline umfasst weiterhin vier aktive CAB-Programme in Phase 1/2. Die F&E-Ausgaben im ersten Halbjahr konzentrierten sich auf AXL-ADC (BA3011, 6,0 Mio.), ROR2-ADC (BA3021, 3,3 Mio.), CTLA-4 (BA3071, 3,2 Mio.) und EpCAM 脳 CD3 bispezifisch (BA3182, 3,1 Mio.).
Liquidit盲t ist das kritische Risiko. Das Management pr眉ft Eigenkapital-, Fremdkapital- oder Partnerschaftsoptionen; ein Scheitern bei der Kapitalbeschaffung k枚nnte weitere K眉rzungen oder Programmverz枚gerungen erzwingen.
- Operating expenses down 22 % YoY, reflecting effective restructuring and cost discipline.
- Net loss narrowed by $10 m for the six-month period.
- $1.6 m fair-value gain on warrant liability improved other income.
- Lease amendment reduces future facility costs and increases flexibility.
- Cash balance only $18.2 m, covering less than one year of operations at current burn.
- Going-concern warning signals high financing and dilution risk.
- No revenue generation; pipeline milestones and sales remain uncertain.
- Warrant overhang: 9.7 m warrants exercisable at $1.19 may cap share upside.
Insights
TL;DR 鈥� Cost cuts narrowed losses, but $18 m cash covers <1 year; financing risk dominates.
BioAtla reduced H1 operating spend by 22 % and improved six-month loss by $10 m, aided by a 30 % workforce reduction and smaller real-estate footprint. Nevertheless, quarterly burn (~$15 m) implies 鈮�3-4 quarters of runway. The going-concern language confirms urgency for new capital, likely via another dilutive raise given <$1 stock price and outstanding 9.7 m warrants.
Pipeline progress is incremental; four CAB assets remain in mid-stage trials but no near-term catalysts or revenue. The Context Therapeutics license could yield up to $133 m milestones, yet timing is uncertain and none booked.
Balance-sheet risk outweighs operational improvements; shares may remain pressured until financing clarity emerges.
TL;DR 鈥� Strategic refocus trims spend; CAB platform intact, but capital scarcity threatens trial continuity.
Management has prioritized high-potential indications鈥擜XL, ROR2, CTLA-4 and EpCAM鈥攚hile shelving earlier discovery programs, cutting preclinical spend by ~$1.5 m. Trial data readouts, if positive, could unlock partnerships; however, investors will discount until liquidity risk recedes.
Operationally, lease renegotiation extended term yet halved space, aligning footprint with leaner headcount. Stock-based comp also fell 37 %, showing discipline.
Key watch items: (1) interim Phase 2 data for BA3011/3021; (2) ability to monetize warrant exercises (~$11 m potential cash at $1.19 strike) if share price recovers; (3) execution of milestone-based cash from the Context deal.

BioAtla, Inc. (BCAB) a d茅pos茅 son formulaire 10-Q pour le deuxi猫me trimestre 2025. La tr茅sorerie et 茅quivalents de tr茅sorerie ont chut茅 脿 18,2 M$ contre 49,0 M$ au 31/12/24 apr猫s une consommation de tr茅sorerie op茅rationnelle de 30,4 M$ au premier semestre 2025. La direction exprime un 芦 doute substantiel 禄 quant 脿 la capacit茅 de l鈥檈ntreprise 脿 poursuivre ses activit茅s au-del脿 des 12 prochains mois sans nouveau financement.
Les r茅sultats du T2 montrent une ma卯trise significative des co没ts : les d茅penses R&D ont diminu茅 de 15 % en glissement annuel 脿 13,7 M$ ; les frais g茅n茅raux et administratifs ont baiss茅 de 14 % 脿 5,0 M$. La perte nette s鈥檈st r茅duite 脿 (18,7 M$) / (0,32 $ par action) contre (21,1 M$) / (0,44 $ par action), et la perte semestrielle s鈥檈st am茅lior茅e 脿 (34,0 M$) contre (44,3 M$).
La restructuration de mars 2025 a supprim茅 environ 30 % des effectifs ; l鈥檃mendement du bail de juin 2025 a r茅duit les espaces de bureaux, cr茅ant un actif au titre du droit d鈥檜tilisation de 6,0 M$. Une augmentation de capital en d茅cembre 2024 a apport茅 9,2 M$ et 茅mis 9,7 M de bons de souscription quinquennaux (passif 脿 la juste valeur d茅sormais de 2,2 M$, g茅n茅rant un gain de juste valeur de 1,6 M$ au premier semestre).
Aucun revenu produit ou licence n鈥檃 茅t茅 enregistr茅 ; le pipeline continue avec quatre programmes CAB actifs en phase 1/2. Les d茅penses R&D du premier semestre se sont concentr茅es sur AXL-ADC (BA3011, 6,0 M$), ROR2-ADC (BA3021, 3,3 M$), CTLA-4 (BA3071, 3,2 M$) et bisp茅cifique EpCAM 脳 CD3 (BA3182, 3,1 M$).
La liquidit茅 est le risque critique. La direction 茅value des options en actions, dette ou partenariats ; l鈥櫭ヽhec 脿 s茅curiser des capitaux pourrait entra卯ner des r茅ductions suppl茅mentaires ou des retards de programmes.
BioAtla, Inc. (BCAB) hat seinen 10-Q-Bericht f眉r das zweite Quartal 2025 eingereicht. Die liquiden Mittel und Zahlungsmittel盲quivalente sanken von 49,0 Mio. USD zum 31.12.24 auf 18,2 Mio. USD nach einem operativen Cash-Burn von 30,4 Mio. USD im ersten Halbjahr 2025. Das Management 盲u脽ert 鈥瀍rhebliche Zweifel鈥� an der F盲higkeit des Unternehmens, ohne neue Finanzierung 眉ber die n盲chsten 12 Monate hinaus fortzuf眉hren.
Die Ergebnisse des zweiten Quartals zeigen eine deutliche Kostenkontrolle: Die F&E-Ausgaben sanken im Jahresvergleich um 15 % auf 13,7 Mio. USD; die allgemeinen Verwaltungsaufwendungen fielen um 14 % auf 5,0 Mio. USD. Der Nettoverlust verringerte sich auf (18,7 Mio. USD) / (0,32 USD pro Aktie) von (21,1 Mio.) / (0,44 USD pro Aktie), und der Halbjahresverlust verbesserte sich auf (34,0 Mio.) von (44,3 Mio.).
Die Restrukturierung im M盲rz 2025 f眉hrte zum Abbau von etwa 30 % der Mitarbeiter; die Mietvertrags盲nderung im Juni 2025 reduzierte die B眉rofl盲chen und schuf einen 6,0 Mio. USD Nutzungsrecht-Asset. Eine Kapitalerh枚hung im Dezember 2024 brachte 9,2 Mio. USD ein und es wurden 9,7 Mio. f眉nfj盲hrige Warrants ausgegeben (Fair-Value-Verbindlichkeit jetzt 2,2 Mio., was einen 1,6 Mio. USD Fair-Value-Gewinn im ersten Halbjahr generierte).
Keine Ums盲tze aus Produkten oder Lizenzen wurden erfasst; die Pipeline umfasst weiterhin vier aktive CAB-Programme in Phase 1/2. Die F&E-Ausgaben im ersten Halbjahr konzentrierten sich auf AXL-ADC (BA3011, 6,0 Mio.), ROR2-ADC (BA3021, 3,3 Mio.), CTLA-4 (BA3071, 3,2 Mio.) und EpCAM 脳 CD3 bispezifisch (BA3182, 3,1 Mio.).
Liquidit盲t ist das kritische Risiko. Das Management pr眉ft Eigenkapital-, Fremdkapital- oder Partnerschaftsoptionen; ein Scheitern bei der Kapitalbeschaffung k枚nnte weitere K眉rzungen oder Programmverz枚gerungen erzwingen.

2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Tucows and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2025 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for future periods.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Tucows in conformity with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted. These interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes follow the same accounting policies and methods of application used in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in Tucows' 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the significant accounting policies and estimates described in our 2024 Annual Report.
Change in Presentation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Effective as of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed on May 8, 2025, the Company has updated the format of its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Statements of Cash Flows. This revision condenses certain previously displayed line items to streamline presentation and improve clarity for the users of the financial statements.
Change in presentation of Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
Prior period balances have been adjusted to combine following line items:
1. “Inventory”, “Income taxes recoverable” and "Other assets" within the line item “Prepaid expenses and other”
2. “Investments” and “Contract costs” within the line item “Other Assets”
3. “Accounts payable” and “Accrued liabilities” within the line item “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”
4. “Customer deposits”, “Accreditation fees payable” and “Income taxes payable” within the line item “Other Current Liabilities”
These line items are adjusted on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation. The Company continues to present the condensed line item information in “Note 22 – Additional Financial Information”.
Change in presentation of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Prior period balances have been adjusted to combine following line items:
1. “Network, depreciation of property and equipment” and “Network, amortization of intangible assets” within the line item “Network, depreciation and amortization”
2. “Network, impairment of intangible assets” within the line item “Network, other costs”
3. “Depreciation of property and equipment” and “Amortization of intangible assets” within the line item “Depreciation and amortization”
4. “Income earned on sale of transferred assets, net” within the line item “Other income (expense)”
These line items are adjusted on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, the Company provides additional disclosures related to “Income earned on sale of transferred assets, net” in “Note 17 – Other income (expense)”
Change in presentation of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash flows
Prior period balances have been adjusted to combine following line items:
1. “Impairment of property and equipment”, “Net amortization contract costs”, “Net Right of use operating assets/Operating lease liability”, “Disposal of domain names”, “Loss (gain) on disposal of assets”, “Undistributed earnings of equity method investee”, “Contract assets”, “Inventory”, “Income taxes recoverable”, “Customer deposits” and “Accreditation fees payable” within the line item “Other operating assets and liabilities”
These line items are adjusted on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash flows to conform to the current period presentation.
These presentational changes do not impact previously reported financial results and are intended to improve readability and align with industry best practices. Comparative periods have been revised to conform to the current period’s presentation where applicable.
This revised format does not impact the totals reported in primary financial statement sections. Specifically, there are no changes to total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' deficit within the Balance Sheets. Similarly, within the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), total net revenues, total expenses, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share remain unchanged. Furthermore, the Statements of Cash Flows reflects no alterations to the total cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
This updated presentation represents the Company’s preferred format, ensuring adherence to relevant accounting standards, and will be consistently applied in future annual and interim filings.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the disclosures for income taxes to allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity's worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation disclosure as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (ASU 2024-03), which requires that a public entity disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation and (d) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement. The standard also requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively as well as disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, annually, the entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with either retrospective or prospective application. The standard allows for early adoption of these requirements and we are currently evaluating the disclosure impacts of our adoption.
4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign exchange rate risk and formerly interest rate risk.
Since October 2012, the Company has employed a hedging program with a Canadian chartered bank to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on its future cash flows related to a portion of payroll, taxes, rent and payments to Canadian domain name registry suppliers that are denominated in Canadian dollars and are expected to be paid by its Canadian operating subsidiary. The Company does not use hedging forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The foreign exchange contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.
The Company has designated certain of these foreign exchange transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASC Topic 815”). For certain contracts, as the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, the Company has been able to conclude that changes in fair value and cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, for the foreign exchange, unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these contracts were included within other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is settled. Cash flows from hedging activities were classified under the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The fair value of the foreign exchange contract, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is recorded as derivative instrument assets or liabilities. For certain contracts where the hedged transactions are no longer probable to occur, the loss on the associated forward contract is recognized in earnings.

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill:
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisitions.
The Company's Goodwill balance remained consistent at $
Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. No impairment charge was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Other Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets consist of acquired brand, technology, customer relationships, surname domain names, direct navigation domain names and network rights. The Company considers its intangible assets consisting of surname domain names and direct navigation domain names as indefinite life intangible assets. The Company has the exclusive right to these domain names as long as the annual renewal fees are paid to the applicable registry. Renewals occur routinely and at a nominal cost. The indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to impairment assessments performed throughout the year. As part of the normal renewal evaluation process during the periods ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company assessed that all domain names that were originally acquired in the June 2006 acquisition of Mailbank.com Inc. that were up for renewal, should be renewed.
Finite-life intangible assets, comprising brand, technology, customer relationships and network rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of two to fifteen years. The weighted average amortization period for all finite-life intangible assets is

8. Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined by using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising during the quarter. At each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to volatility due to several factors, including accurately forecasting the Company’s net income before tax, taxable income or loss, the mix of tax jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, and changes in statutes, regulations, and case law.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
Comparatively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, enacting a number of significant changes to the U.S. tax code. These changes did not impact the Company's provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as the legislation was enacted subsequent to that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the OBBBA and their potential impact on its income tax provision, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and related disclosures.

10. Revenue
Significant accounting policy
The Company’s revenues are derived from (a) the provisioning of retail fiber Internet services through Ting, (b) the CSP solutions and professional services through Wavelo; and (c) domain name registration contracts, other domain related value-added services, domain sale contracts, and other advertising revenue through Tucows Domains Services. Certain revenues are disclosed under Corporate and other as they are considered non-core business activities including retail mobile services, Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") revenue and eliminations of intercompany revenue. Amounts received in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria described below are recorded as contract liabilities. All products are generally sold without the right of return or refund.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of principal activities – separated by reportable segments – from which the Company generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 13 – Segment Reporting.
| (a) | Ting |
The Company generates Ting revenues primarily through the provisioning of fixed high-speed Internet access, Ting Internet.
Ting Internet contracts provide customers Internet access at their home or business through the installation and use of our fiber optic network and fixed wireless network. Ting Internet contracts are generally prepaid and grant customers with unlimited bandwidth based on a fixed price per month basis. Because consideration is collected before the service period, revenue is initially deferred and recognized as the Company performs its obligation to provide Internet access. Though the Company does not consider the installation of fixed Internet access to be a distinct performance obligation, the fees related to installation are immaterial and therefore revenue is recognized as billed. The Company also rents modems to customers for the duration of the service arrangement. As the non-lease service component is predominant in the arrangement, and as both the modem and internet access services are provided continuously over the same monthly period, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC-842-10-15-42A and accounts for the combined modem-and-service arrangement as a single performance obligation.
Ting Internet access services are primarily contracted through the Ting website, for one month at a time and contain no commitment to renew the contract following each customer’s monthly billing cycle. The Company’s billing cycle for all Ting Internet customers is computed based on the customer’s activation date. In addition, revenue from sale of internet hardware to subscribers is recognized when control transfers, which occurs upon shipment. Incentive marketing credits given to customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
In those cases, where payment is not received at the time of sale, revenue is not recognized at contract inception unless the collection of the related accounts receivable is reasonably assured. The Company records expected refunds, rebates and credit card charge-backs as a reduction of revenues at the time of the sale based on historical experiences and current expectations.
| (b) | Wavelo |
The Company generates Wavelo revenues by providing billing and provisioning platform services to CSPs to whom we also provide other professional services.
Platform service agreements contain both platform services and professional services. Platform services offer a variety of solutions that support CSPs, including subscription and billing management, network orchestration and provisioning, and individual developer tools through a single, cloud-based service. Professional services provided under platform service arrangements can include implementation, training, consulting or software development/modification services. Platform services and professional services are considered to be separate performance obligations.
Consideration under platform service arrangements includes both a variable component that changes each month depending on the number of subscribers hosted on the platform, as well as a fixed component of platform payments and credits.
Platform payments and associated credits are allocated between the platform services and professional services performance obligations by estimating the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each performance obligation.
The Company estimates the SSP of professional services based on observable standalone sales. The SSP of platform services is derived using the residual approach by estimating the total contract consideration and subtracting the SSP of professional services.
Each month of providing access to the platform is substantially the same and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided, therefore, the performance obligation consists of a series of distinct service periods. Accordingly, the platform services represent a single promise to provide continuous access (i.e. a stand-ready performance obligation) to the platform. Accordingly, the platform payment revenue allocated to platform services is recognized evenly over the term of the contract. Variable subscriber fees are allocated to the platform services and are recognized as the fees are invoiced.
Revenues related to professional services are distinct from the other promises in the contract(s) and are recognized as the related services are performed, on the basis of hours consumed.
Other professional services consist of professional service arrangements with platform services customers which are billed based on separate Statement of Work (“SOW”) arrangements for bespoke feature development. Revenues for professional services contracted through separate SOWs are recognized at a point-in-time when the final acceptance criteria have been met.
| (c) | Tucows Domains |
Domain registration contracts, which can be purchased for terms of one to ten years, provide our resellers and retail registrant customers with the exclusive right to a personalized internet address from which to build an online presence. The Company enters into domain registration contracts in connection with each new, renewed and transferred-in domain registration. At the inception of the contract, the Company charges and collects the registration fee for the entire registration period. Though fees are collected upfront, revenue from domain registrations are recognized ratably over the registration period as domain registration contracts contain a ‘right to access’ license of IP, which is a distinct performance obligation measured over time. The registration period begins once the Company has confirmed that the requested domain name has been appropriately recorded in the registry under contractual performance standards.
Domain related value-added services like digital certifications, WHOIS privacy, website hosting and hosted email provide our resellers and retail registrant customers with tools and additional functionality to be used in conjunction with domain registrations. All domain related value-added services are considered distinct performance obligations which transfer the promised service to the customer over the contracted term. Fees charged to customers for domain related value-added services are collected at the inception of the contract, and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contracted term, consistent with the satisfaction of the performance obligations.
The Company is an ICANN accredited registrar. Thus, the Company is the primary obligor with our reseller and retail registrant customers and is responsible for the fulfillment of our registrar services to those parties. As a result, the Company reports revenue in the amount of the fees we receive directly from our reseller and retail registrant customers. Our reseller customers maintain the primary obligor relationship with their retail customers, establish pricing and retain credit risk to those customers. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize any revenue related to transactions between our reseller customers and their ultimate retail customers.
The Company also sells the rights to the Company’s portfolio domains or names acquired through the Company’s domain expiry stream. The domain expiry stream involves domain names whose registration has expired and as per ICANN regulations are placed into a 40-day grace period. Though the domain names do not belong to the registrant during the 40-day grace period, the Company is restricted from allowing others to register them. The Company monetizes its domain expiry stream both through the sale of names and by allowing advertisers to place parked pages advertisements on the domains. Revenue generated from sale of domain name contracts, containing a distinct performance obligation to transfer the domain name rights under the Company’s control, is generally recognized once the rights have been transferred and payment has been received in full.
Advertising revenue is derived through domain parking monetization, whereby the Company contracts with third-party Internet advertising publishers to direct web traffic from the Company’s domain expiry stream domains, surname domains and direct navigation domains to advertising websites. Compensation from Internet advertising publishers is calculated variably on a cost-per-action basis based on the number of advertising links that have been visited in a given month. Given that the variable consideration is calculated and paid on a monthly basis, no estimation of variable consideration is required.

Contract Balances
The following table provides information about contract liabilities from contracts with customers. The Company accounts for contract assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis, with each contract presented as either a net contract asset or a net contract liability accordingly.
Some of the Company’s long-term contracts with customers are billed in advance of service, such as domain contracts and some professional service contracts. Consideration received from customers related to performance obligations which have not yet been satisfied are recorded as contract liabilities.
Contract liabilities primarily relate to the portion of the transaction price received in advance related to the unexpired term of domain name registrations and other domain related value-added services, on both a wholesale and retail basis, net of external commissions.
Significant changes in contract liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were as follows (Dollar amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars):
| June 30, 2025 | ||||
| Balance, beginning of period | $ | |||
| Contract liabilities | ||||
| Recognized revenue | ( | ) | ||
| Balance, end of period | $ | |||
Remaining Performance Obligations
For retail mobile and internet access services, where the performance obligation is part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less (typically one month), the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient to not disclose revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied).
Although domain registration contracts are deferred over the lives of the individual contracts, which can range from one to ten years, approximately 80 percent of our contract liabilities balance related to domain contracts is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months.
Professional services revenue related to platform services agreement is deferred and recognized as hours are incurred over the contract term. Any revenue for unused professional service hours is recognized as revenue at the end of the contract period.
11. Costs to obtain and fulfill a Contract
Deferred costs of fulfillment
Deferred costs to fulfill contracts primarily consist of domain registration costs which have been paid to a domain registry and are capitalized as deferred costs of fulfillment. These costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the domain which generally ranges from one to ten years. The Company also defers certain technology design and data migration costs it incurs to fulfill its performance obligations contained in our platform services arrangements. There were

Operating lease payments include payments under the non-cancellable term, without any additional amounts related to options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised.
As of June 30, 2025, we have not entered into lease agreements that have not yet commenced, and therefore are not included in the lease liability.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company identified an immaterial error in the application of lease accounting for a long-term fiber network access agreement. Upon reassessment, the Company determined that only the initial three-year exclusive-use period under the agreement met the definition of a lease under ASC 842. The remaining term represents a service arrangement and should not have been included in the ROU asset or operating lease liability calculation. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment in Q2 2025 to reduce previously recognized ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, and to recognize a catch-up lease expense totaling $
The Company has elected to use the single exchange rate approach when accounting for lease modifications. Under the single exchange rate approach, the entire right of use asset is revalued at the date of modification in the Company’s functional currency provided the re-measurement is not considered a separate contract or if the re-measurement is related to change the lease term or assessment of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset being exercised.
13. Segment Reporting
Reportable operating segments
We are organized and managed based on three operating segments which are differentiated primarily by their services, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate. No operating segments have been aggregated to determine our reportable segments.
Our reportable operating segments and their principal activities consist of the following:
1. Ting - This segment derives revenue from providing retail high speed Internet access services to individuals and small businesses. Revenues are generated in the United States.
2. Wavelo – This segment derives revenue from platform and other professional services related to communication service providers, including Mobile Network Operators and Internet Service Providers, and are primarily generated in the United States.
3. Tucows Domains – This segment includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, value added services and portfolio services. The Company primarily earns revenues from the registration fees charged to resellers in connection with new, renewed and transferred domain name registrations; the sale of retail Internet domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. Domain Services revenues are attributed to the country in which the contract originates, primarily Canada and the United States.
Our segmented results include shared services allocations, including a profit margin, for Finance, Human Resources and other technical services, to the operating units. In addition, Wavelo charges Ting a subscriber based monthly charge for services rendered. Financial impacts from these allocations and cross segment charges are eliminated as part of the consolidation.
Key measure of segment performance
The CEO, as the chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews the operations and performance by segment. The CEO reviews Segment Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) as (i) key measures of performance for each segment and (ii) to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of indefinite life intangible assets, gain on currency forward contracts and other expense net are organized along functional lines and are not included in the measurement of segment profitability. Total assets and total liabilities are centrally managed and are not reviewed at the segment level by the CEO.
Our key measure of segment performance is Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
We calculate this as segment revenue together with recurring income earned on sale of transferred assets, less cost of revenue, network expenses and certain operating expenses attributable to each segment, such as sales and marketing, technical operations and development, general and administration expenses. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes unrealized gains (losses) on foreign exchange, stock-based compensation and transactions that are not indicative of on-going performance, including acquisition and transition costs. Certain revenues and expenses are excluded from segment Adjusted EBITDA results as they are centrally managed and not monitored by or reported to our CEO by segment, including mobile retail services, eliminations of intercompany transactions, portions of Finance and Human Resources that are centrally managed, Legal and Corporate IT.
The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its segments, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each segment’s performance or indicative of ongoing operational and profitability trends.
The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the overall recurring profitability of each operating segment after accounting for overhead costs. Adjusted EBITDA is evaluated by the CODM by comparing current period to historical and forecasted results and is used to inform strategic decisions over segment profitability, operational efficiency, pricing strategies, cost optimization, customer churn, competitor benchmarking and cash flow.
Information by reportable segments (with the exception of disaggregated revenue, which is discussed in “Note 10 – Revenue”), which is regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker, and the reconciliations thereof to our income before taxes, are set out in the following tables (Dollar amounts in thousands of US dollars):

2006 Tucows Equity Compensation Plan
On November 22, 2006, the shareholders of the Company approved the Company’s 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was amended and restated effective July 29, 2010 and which serves as a successor to the 1996 Plan. The 2006 Plan has been established for the benefit of the employees, officers, directors and certain consultants of the Company. The maximum number of common shares which had initially been set aside for issuance under the 2006 Plan is
Our current equity-based compensation plans include provisions that allow for the “net exercise” of stock options by all plan participants. In a net exercise, any required payroll taxes, federal withholding taxes and exercise price of the shares due from the option holder can be paid for by having the option holder tender back to the Company a number of shares at fair value equal to the amounts due. These transactions are accounted for by the Company as a purchase and retirement of shares.
The fair value of each option grant ("Company Option") is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Because option-pricing models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s common shares. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on historical exercise experience. The Company evaluated historical exercise behavior when determining the expected term assumptions. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the expected annual dividend by the market price of Tucows Inc. common shares at the date of grant.

The Wavelo stock options were introduced in order to provide variable compensation that helps retain executives and ensures that our executives' interests are aligned with those stakeholders of the business to grow long-term value. The maximum number of Wavelo common shares which have been set aside for issuance under the 2022 Plan is
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Because option-pricing models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company calculates expected volatility based on the actual volatility of comparable publicly traded companies. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company assumes the expected dividend yield to be zero.

16. Fair Value Measurement
For financial assets and liabilities recorded in our financial statements at fair value we utilize a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Equity investments without readily determinable fair value include ownership rights that do not provide the Company with control or significant influence. Such equity investments are recorded at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes as of the date that an observable transaction takes place. Subsequent adjustments are recorded in other income (expense), net.

18. Redeemable preferred units
Ting Fiber, LLC ("Ting") entered into a Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) with Generate TF Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Generate”) on August 8, 2022 (the "Effective Date"), and closed the transaction contemplated thereby on August 11, 2022 (the "Transaction Close") pursuant to which Ting issued and sold
Ting's Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "LLC Agreement"), states that in the event that (i) Ting fails to pay the preferred return for two consecutive quarters, (ii) Ting fails to pay the redemption price in connection with any redemption of the Series A Preferred Units, (iii) Ting materially breaches its obligations under the LLC Agreement, (iv) there occurs an event of default (or similar term) under Tucows Inc.’s or its affiliates’ credit agreement, (v) there occurs material breach if not cured or otherwise remedied in accordance with the terms of any credit facility (taking into account any cure periods), by Ting or any of its Subsidiaries under any debt facilities where Ting or any of its Subsidiaries incurs indebtedness for borrowed money, or (vi) Ting breaches any covenant under the Unit Purchase Agreement, Generate has the option to either (i) convert Series A Preferred Units based on the Redemption Price into common units of Ting based on the then applicable conversion price; or (ii) compelling the sale of certain assets of Ting or its subsidiaries of equal value to the Redemption Price.
As permitted by the Unit Purchase Agreement, Ting has accrued the preferred return of $
Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, Ting is mandatorily required to redeem the redeemable preferred units prior to the earliest of (i) a sale of Ting, (ii) a public offering, (iii) an event of default (or similar term) by Tucows Inc. or any of its affiliates under, (iv) a material breach if not cured or otherwise remedied in accordance with the terms of any credit facility (taking into account any cure periods), by Ting or any of its Subsidiaries under any debt facilities where Ting or any of its Subsidiaries incurs indebtedness for borrowed money, (v) Ting failed to pay the preferred return for two consecutive quarters, and (vi) the six-year anniversary of the Transaction Close. Due to the fact that the redeemable preferred units are mandatorily redeemable, the redeemable preferred units are classified as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The liability was initially recorded at fair value and subsequently recorded at the present value of the settlement amount, which includes the preferred return payments required until the instrument's expected maturity on the sixth anniversary of the Transaction Close, August 10, 2028 using the implicit rate of return of the instrument,

(b) On February 9, 2015 Ting Fiber, Inc.(“Ting”) entered into a lease and network operation agreement with the City of Westminster, Maryland (the “City”) relating to the deployment of a new fiber network throughout the Westminster area (“WFN”).
Under the agreement, the City will finance, construct, and maintain the WFN which will be leased to Ting for a period of ten years. The network will be constructed in phases, the scope and timing of which shall be determined by the City, in cooperation with Ting.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ting may be required to advance funds to the City in the event of a quarterly shortfall between the City’s revenue from leasing the network to Ting and the City’s debt service requirements relating to financing of the network. Ting could be responsible for shortfalls between $
(c) On September 17, 2018 Ting entered into a non-exclusive access and use agreement with SiFi Networks Fullerton, LLC (“SiFi”). The agreement established a fifteen-year term during which Ting has the non-exclusive right to act as an Internet service provider for a fiber-optic network to be constructed in the city of Fullerton, California. Under the terms of the agreement, SiFi is fully responsible for constructing, operating and maintaining a wholesale fiber-optic network, as well as the financing of those activities.
Ting is responsible for paying a fee per subscriber to SiFi. Through a “take or pay” arrangement, Ting has agreed to certain minimum charges based on minimum subscriber rates. These minimum fees are variable based on the percentage completion of the fiber optic network, and thus have not been considered an unconditional purchase obligation for the purposes of the table in Note 21 (a). Ting is currently disputing certain charges from SiFi and has ceased accruing for these amounts, as it believes payment is unlikely. The commitment amounts disclosed in the schedule reflect only the charges that Ting continues to accrue. Given the ongoing dispute, these amounts may be subject to change.
(d) On November 4, 2019 Ting entered into an access and use agreement with Netly, LLC (“Netly”). The agreement establishes twelve-year term wherein Ting will be granted the right to act as an Internet service provider for fiber-optic networks to be constructed in and around the cities of Solana Beach, California. Under the terms of the agreement, Ting will have a 3-year “Headstart” period over each completed segment of the network, whereby Ting shall be the exclusive provider of services to subscribers during the “Headstart” period. Netly is fully responsible for constructing, operating and maintaining a wholesale fiber optic network, as well as the financing of those activities.
Ting is responsible for paying a fee per subscriber to Netly, as well as an unlit door fee for each serviceable address not subscribed. Through a “take or pay” arrangement, Ting has agreed to certain minimum charges based on minimum subscriber rates. To the extent that construction of the fiber optic network is complete, our minimum commitments have been included in the contractual lease obligations of the table in Note 21 (a). The Company has an ongoing billing dispute with Netly regarding the rates and methodology under which it can invoice our Ting Fiber division for our operations. For the purposes of calculating the table in Note 21 (a), the Company reflected its future commitment under this agreement consistent with the amounts it has historically accrued in accordance with ASC 450-20 and, in accordance with the definition of probable loss described therein, and paid. At this time the Company believes that the probability that this dispute will have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results or financial condition is remote.
(e) On January 7, 2022, Ting entered into a 25-year lease agreement with Colorado Springs Utilities (“CSU”), a municipally owned utility. The lease agreement named Ting the anchor tenant on a city-wide fiber network that is intended to pass 200,000 homes in Colorado Springs, Colorado. CSU began construction in Q2 of 2023. Under the terms of the lease, Ting is obligated to pay a per-month fee for addresses passed by the network, (as they are passed and become serviceable for customers to connect to the network) and for certain fiber infrastructure, including co-location space. The lease is guaranteed by Ting's ultimate parent, Tucows Inc. Total costs of the lease, over its twenty-five-year term, are approximately $
(f) On May 11, 2022, Ting Fiber, LLC ("Ting Fiber"), entered into a "Rights-of-Way" agreement with the City of Alexandria, Virginia whereby the City granted Ting Fiber the right to install, place, construct, maintain, operate, upgrade, repair, and replace a Communications System to provide Broadband Services within the Public Rights-of-Way (a space in, upon, above, along, across, over and below the public and City-owned property that is used as a public rights-of-way) for a fee. Per the agreement, Ting Fiber is to pay the City throughout the 20-year term of the agreement, an amount equal to 3% of Ting Fiber's Broadband Revenues once the network is live, and subscribers are obtained, and this fee is to be paid on a quarterly basis. The agreement commenced once Ting Fiber launched its network in Alexandria in March 2023. Since these fees are currently variable in nature, they have not been considered an unconditional purchase obligation for the purposes of the table in Note 21 (a).
(g) On November 1, 2023, the Company, entered into a Network Access and Use Agreement with Blue Suede Networks, LLC, which granted Ting Fiber the right to use the fiber communications network to be constructed by Blue Suede Networks, LLC to provide high-speed broadband Internet Access services to end-user residential and small and medium sized business customers in the city of Memphis, Tennessee. The agreement grants the Company an exclusivity period of 5 years. The agreement requires the Company to pay the greater of a minimum revenue commitment based on minimum subscriber rates and a revenue share. Future fees associated with portions of the network have not been considered an unconditional purchase obligation for the purposes of the table in Note 21 (a).
(h) In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal claims and lawsuits. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims. While the final outcome with respect to any actions or claims outstanding or pending as of June 30, 2025 cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the resolution of these claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

OVERVIEW
Our mission is to provide simple useful services that help people unlock the power of the Internet.
We accomplish this by reducing the complexity of our customers’ experience as they access the Internet (at home or on the go) and while using Internet services such as domain name registration, email and other Internet related services. We are organized into three operating and reporting segments - Ting, Wavelo, and Tucows Domains. Each segment is differentiated primarily by their services, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate. The Ting segment contains the operating results of our retail high speed Internet access operations, including its wholly owned subsidiaries - Cedar and Simply Bits. The Wavelo segment includes our platform and professional services offerings, as well as the billing solutions to Internet services providers ("ISPs"). Tucows Domains includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, as well as value added services derived through our OpenSRS, eNom, Ascio, EPAG and Hover brands.
Our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is also our chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews the operating results of Ting, Wavelo and Tucows Domains as three distinct segments in order to make key operating decisions as well as evaluate segment performance. Certain revenues and expenses disclosed under the Corporate category are excluded from segment adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("Segment Adjusted EBITDA") results as they are centrally managed and not monitored by or reported to our CEO by segment, including mobile retail services, eliminations of intercompany transactions, portions of Finance and Human Resources that are centrally managed, Legal and Corporate Information Technology ("IT") shared services.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we reported net revenue of $98.5 million and $89.4 million, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we reported net revenue of $193.1 million and $176.9 million, respectively.
Ting
Ting and its wholly owned subsidiaries - Cedar and Simply Bits includes the provision of fixed high-speed Internet access services to select towns throughout the United States, with further expansion underway to both new and existing markets. Our primary sales channel is through the Ting website. The primary focus of this segment is to provide reliable Gigabit Internet services to consumer and business customers. Revenues are all generated in the U.S. and are provided on a monthly basis and have no fixed contract terms.
As of June 30, 2025, Ting Internet had access to 132,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 66,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 52,000 active subscribers under its management; compared to having access to 128,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 36,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 48,000 active subscribers under its management as of June 30, 2024. These figures exclude any changes in serviceable addresses and accounts attributable to Simply Bits.
On February 7, 2024 Ting committed to the February 2024 Workforce Reduction, which aimed to realign the Company's operational structure within the Ting operating segment and reduce Ting's workforce by 13%, or 7% of the Company’s total workforce, to better support strategic objectives. The February 2024 Workforce Reduction was designed to streamline operations and reduce operating expenses within the Ting operating segment. Substantially all of the employees impacted by the workforce reduction were notified on February 7, 2024 and have since exited the Company. The Company incurred non-recurring charges of approximately $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 in connection with the workforce reduction, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice pay, employee benefits contributions and outplacement costs.
On October 30, 2024, Ting undertook the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan to reflect the ongoing operational and financial prioritization of the Ting business and to lower the Company's year-over-year operating expenses, which impacted approximately 42% of Ting's workforce or 17% of the Company's total workforce. The Company incurred non-recurring charges of approximately $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 in connection with the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice pay, employee benefits contributions and outplacement costs.
The February 2024 Workforce Reduction and 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan realized personnel and related expense (net of capitalization) savings with the majority of the savings in sales and marketing, including related network support functions, followed by smaller impacts in technical operations and development, direct cost of revenues, network, general and administrative, and other costs. In the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024") the realized savings were partially offset by costs associated with both plans. These costs referenced above were classified as transitional and were excluded in our Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see discussion of Adjusted EBITDA as well as the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income in the Results of Operations section below. The 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan has also translated into reduced capital expenditures related to growth and expansion of new markets, as Ting shifted focus to completing builds in existing markets.
Wavelo
Wavelo includes the provision of full-service platforms and professional services providing a variety of solutions that support Communication Services providers ("CSPs"), including subscription and billing management, network orchestration and provisioning, and individual developer tools. Wavelo's focus is to provide accessible telecom software to CSPs globally, minimizing network and technical barriers and improving Internet access worldwide. Wavelo's suite of flexible, cloud-based software simplifies the management of mobile and Internet network access, enabling CSPs to better utilize their existing infrastructure, focus on customer experience and scale their businesses faster. Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s Mobile Network Operating System ("MONOS") software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform, and Ting integrating Wavelo’s Internet Service Operating System ("ISOS") and Subscriber Management ("SM") software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. The Wavelo segment also includes the Platypus brand and platform, our legacy billing solution for ISPs. The revenues from Wavelo's MONOS, ISOS, SM and professional services are all generated in the U.S. and our customer agreements have set contract lengths with the underlying CSP. Similarly, Wavelo's revenues from Platypus are largely generated in the U.S., with a small portion earned in Canada and other countries.
Tucows Domains
Tucows Domains includes wholesale and retail domain name registration services, as well as value added services derived through our OpenSRS, eNom, Ascio, EPAG and Hover brands. Tucows Domains revenues are earned primarily from the registration fees charged to resellers in connection with new, renewed and transferred domain name registrations. In addition, we earn revenues from the sale of retail domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. Tucows Domains revenues are attributed to the country in which the contract originates, which is primarily in Canada and the U.S for OpenSRS and eNom brands whereas it is primarily in European nations for Ascio and EPAG.
Our primary distribution channel is a global network of over 33,000 resellers that operate in almost 200 countries and who typically provide their customers, the end-users of Internet-based services, with solutions for establishing and maintaining an online presence. Our primary focus is serving the needs of this network of resellers by providing the broadest portfolio of gTLD and the country code top-level domain options and related services, a white-label platform that facilitates the provisioning and management of domain names, a powerful Application Program Interface, easy-to-use interfaces, comprehensive management and reporting tools, and proactive and attentive customer service. Our services are integral to the solutions that our resellers deliver to their customers. We provide “second tier” support to our resellers by email, chat and phone in the event resellers experience issues or problems with our services. In addition, our Network Operating Center proactively monitors all services and network infrastructure to address deficiencies before customer services are impacted.
We believe that the underlying platforms for our services are among the most mature, reliable and functional reseller-oriented provisioning and management platforms in our industry, and we continue to refine, evolve and improve these services for both resellers and end-users. Our business model is characterized primarily by non-refundable, up-front payments, which lead to recurring revenue and positive operating cash flow.
Wholesale, primarily branded as OpenSRS, eNom, EPAG and Ascio, derives revenue from its domain name registration service. Together the OpenSRS, eNom, EPAG and Ascio Domain Services manage 24.0 million domain names under the Tucows, eNom, EPAG and Ascio ICANN registrar accreditations and for other registrars under their own accreditations. Domains under management have decreased slightly by 0.4 million since June 30, 2024.
Value-Added Services include hosted email which provides email delivery and webmail access to millions of mailboxes, Internet security services, WHOIS privacy, publishing tools and other value-added services. All of these services are made available to end-users through a network of web hosts, ISPs, and other resellers around the world. In addition, we also derive revenue by monetizing domain names which are near the end of their lifecycle through expiry auction sale.
Retail, primarily the Hover and eNom portfolio of websites, including eNom, and eNom Central, derive revenues from the sale of domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. Our retail domain services also include our Personal Names Service – based on over 34,000 surname domains – which allows roughly two-thirds of Americans to purchase an email address based on their last name. The retail segment now includes the sale of the rights to its portfolio of surname domains used in connection with our AG真人官方Names email service and our Exact Hosting Service, that provides Linux hosting services for individuals and small businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA
Tucows reports all financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Along with this information, to assist financial statement users in an assessment of our historical performance, we typically disclose and discuss a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, on investor conference calls and related events that excludes certain non-cash and other charges as we believe that the non-GAAP information enhances investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance, but should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Please see discussion of Adjusted EBITDA as well as the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to net income in the Results of Operations section below.
OPERATING OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND RISKS
Our revenue is primarily realized in U.S. dollars and a major portion of our operating expenses are paid in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results from operations. In particular, we may be adversely affected by a significant weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar on a quarterly and an annual basis. Our policy with respect to foreign currency exposure is to manage our financial exposure to certain foreign exchange fluctuations with the objective of neutralizing some or all of the impact of foreign currency exchange movements by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the exchange risk on a portion of our Canadian dollar exposure. We may not always enter into such forward contracts and such contracts may not always be available and economical for us. Additionally, the forward rates established by the contracts may be less advantageous than the market rate upon settlement.
Ting
As an ISP, we have invested and expect to continue to invest in selective fiber to the home (“FTTH”) deployments in select markets in the United States. The investments are a reflection of our ongoing efforts to build FTTH networks via public-private partnerships in communities we identify as having strong, unmet demand for FTTH services. Given the significant upfront build and operational investments for these FTTH deployments, there is risk that future technological and regulatory changes as well as competitive responses from incumbent local providers, may result in us not fully recovering these investments.
Wavelo
Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s MONOS software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform. More recently, Ting Internet has also integrated Wavelo’s ISOS and SM software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. With our external platform and professional services revenues concentrated to one customer in EchoStar, we are exposed to significant risk if we are unable to maintain this customer relationship or establish new relationships for any of our Platforms in the future. Additionally, our revenues as a platform provider are directly tied to the subscriber volumes of EchoStar's MVNO or MNO networks, and our profitability is contingent on the ability of EchoStar to continue to add subscribers, either from organic growth or from migration off legacy systems, onto our platforms.
Tucows Domains
The increased competition in the market for Internet services in recent years, which we expect will continue to intensify in the short and long term, poses a material risk for us. As new registrars are introduced, existing competitors expand service offerings and offer price discounts to gain market share, we face pricing pressure, which can adversely impact our revenues and profitability. To address these risks, we have focused on leveraging the scalability of our infrastructure and our ability to provide proactive and attentive customer service to aggressively compete to attract new customers and to maintain existing customers.
Substantially all of our Tucows Domains revenue is derived from domain name registrations and related value-added services from wholesale and retail customers using our provisioning and management platforms. The market for wholesale registrar services is both price sensitive and competitive and is evolving with the introduction of new gTLDs, particularly for large volume customers, such as large web hosting companies and owners of large portfolios of domain names. We have a relatively limited ability to increase the pricing of domain name registrations without negatively impacting our ability to maintain or grow our customer base. Growth in our Tucows Domains revenue is dependent upon our ability to continue to attract and retain customers by maintaining consistent domain name registration and value-added service renewal rates and to grow our customer relationships through refining, evolving and improving our provisioning platforms and customer service for both resellers and end-users. In addition, Tucows Domains also generate revenues through the sale of names from our portfolio of domain names and through the OpenSRS, eNom, and Ascio Domain Expiry Streams.
From time-to-time certain vendors provide us with market development funds to expand or maintain the market position for their services. Any decision by these vendors to cancel or amend these programs for any reason may result in payments in future periods not being commensurate with what we have achieved during past periods.
Other opportunities, challenges and risks
The Company is entitled to a long-term payment stream that is a function of the margin generated by the transferred subscribers over the 10-year term of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement executed in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”). This consideration structure may not prove to be successful or profitable in the long-term to us if the existing subscriber base churns at an above average rate. Additionally, given EchoStar controls the revenues and costs incurred associated with the acquired subscribers, there could arise a situation where profitability for the subscriber base is diminished either by lower price points or cost inflation. Additionally, as part of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement, the Company retained a small number of customer accounts associated with one MNO agreement that was not reassigned to EchoStar at time of sale. We continue to be subject to the minimum revenue commitments previously agreed to with this excluded MNO agreement. The Company is able to continue adding customers under the excluded MNO network in order to meet the commitment. However, with no direct ability to change customer pricing and limited ability to renegotiate contract costs or significant terms, the Company may be unable to meet the minimum commitments with this MNO partner and could incur significant and recurring penalties until such a time that the contract is complete. These penalties would negatively impact our operational performance and financial results if enforced by the MNO. As at June 30, 2025, the Company has accrued $1.1 million of penalties associated with the minimum commitment shortfall. The Company expects to incur penalties throughout 2025 and thereafter until the contract expires.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, available market information, as applicable, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time they are made. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results will differ, potentially materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions and estimates are outside of the Company's control. Management evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report as of the reporting date.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE three and six months ended June 30, 2025 AS COMPARED TO THE three and six months ended June 30, 2024
NET REVENUES
Ting
Ting and its subsidiaries - Cedar, and Simply Bits includes the provision of high-speed Internet access services to select towns throughout the United States, with further expansion underway to both new and existing markets. Our primary sales channel is through the Ting website. The primary focus of this segment is to provide reliable Gigabit Fiber and Fixed Wireless Internet services to consumer and business customers. Revenues are all generated in the U.S., have no fixed contract terms and are billed on a monthly basis, with unlimited bandwidth based on a fixed price.
The Company’s billing cycle for all Ting Internet customers is computed based on the customer’s activation date. Since consideration is collected before the service period, revenue is initially deferred and recognized as the Company performs its obligation to provide Internet access within each reporting period. In addition, revenues associated with the sale of Internet hardware to subscribers are recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to the subscriber and shipment has occurred. Incentive marketing credits given to customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
In those cases, where payment is not received at the time of sale, as is the case for service requiring installation, then revenue is not recognized until a customer's service is activated. The Company records costs that reflect expected refunds, rebates and credit card charge-backs as a reduction of revenues at the time of the sale based on historical experiences and current expectations.
Wavelo
Platform Services
Tucows' Platform Services include the following full-service platforms from Wavelo, including MONOS, ISOS, SM and our legacy Platypus ISP Billing software. Under each of these platforms there are a variety of solutions that support CSPs, including subscription and billing management, network orchestration and provisioning, and individual developer tools. Wavelo launched as a proven asset for CSPs, with EchoStar using Wavelo’s MONOS software to drive additional value within its Digital Operator Platform. More recently, Ting Internet has also integrated Wavelo’s ISOS and SM software to enable faster subscriber growth and footprint expansion. Wavelo's customers are billed monthly, on a postpaid basis. The monthly fees are variable, based on the volume of their subscribers utilizing the platform during a given month, to which minimums may apply. Customers may also be billed fixed platform fees and granted fixed credits as part of the consideration for long-term contracts. Consideration received is allocated to platform services and bundled professional services and recognized as each service obligation is fulfilled. Any fixed fees for Wavelo are recognized into revenue evenly over the service period, while variable usage fees are recognized each month as they are consumed. Professional services revenue is recognized as the hours of professional services granted to the customer are used or expire. When consideration for these platform services is received before the service is delivered, the revenue is initially deferred and recognized only as the Company performs its obligation to provide services. Likewise, if platform services are delivered before the Company has the unconditional right to invoice the customer, revenue is recognized as a Contract asset.
Other Professional Services
This revenue stream includes any other professional services earned in connection with the Wavelo business from the provision of standalone technology services development work. These are billed based on separate Statement of Work arrangements for bespoke feature development. The Company recognizes revenue at the point-in-time when the final acceptance criteria have been met.
Tucows Domains
Wholesale - Domain Services
Domain registration contracts, which can be purchased for terms of one to ten years, provide our resellers and retail registrant customers with the exclusive right to a personalized internet address from which to build an online presence. The Company enters into domain registration contracts in connection with each new, renewed and transferred-in domain registration. At the inception of the contract, the Company charges and collects the registration fee for the entire registration period. Though fees are collected upfront, revenue from domain registrations are recognized ratably over the registration period as domain registration contracts contain a ‘right to access’ license of IP, which is a distinct performance obligation measured over time. The registration period begins once the Company has confirmed that the requested domain name has been appropriately recorded in the registry under contractual performance standards.
Historically, our wholesale domain service has constituted the largest portion of our business and encompasses all of our services as an accredited registrar related to the registration, renewal, transfer and management of domain names. In addition, this service fuels other revenue categories as it often is the initial service for which a reseller will engage us, enabling us to follow on with other services and allowing us to add to our portfolio by purchasing names registered through us upon their expiration. We expect Domain Services will continue to be the largest portion of our business and will continue to enable us to sell add-on services.
The Company is an ICANN accredited registrar. Thus, the Company is the primary obligor with our reseller and retail registrant customers and is responsible for the fulfillment of our registrar services to those parties. As a result, the Company reports revenue in the amount of the fees we receive directly from our reseller and retail registrant customers. Our reseller customers maintain the primary obligor relationship with their retail customers, establish pricing and retain credit risk to those customers. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize any revenue related to transactions between our reseller customers and their ultimate retail customers.
Wholesale – Value-Added Services
We derive revenue from domain related value-added services like digital certifications, WHOIS privacy and hosted email and by providing our resellers and retail registrant customers with tools and additional functionality to be used in conjunction with domain registrations. All domain related value-added services are considered distinct performance obligations which transfer the promised service to the customer over the contracted term. Fees charged to customers for domain related value-added services are collected at the inception of the contract, and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contracted term, consistent with the satisfaction of the performance obligations.
We also derive revenue from other value-added services, which primarily consists of proceeds from storefront and domain expiry streams.
Retail
We derive revenues mainly from Hover and eNom’s retail properties through the sale of retail domain name registration and email services to individuals and small businesses. The retail segment also includes the sale of the rights to its portfolio of surname domains used in connection with our AG真人官方Names email service and Linux hosting services for websites through our Exact Hosting brand.
Corporate and other - Mobile services and eliminations
Although we still provide mobile telephony services to a small subset of customers retained through the Ting Mobile brand as part of the EchoStar Purchase Agreement executed in Fiscal 2020, this revenue stream no longer represents the Company's strategic focus going forward. Instead, we have transitioned towards being a platform provider for CSPs globally via Wavelo. Retail telephony services and transition services revenues are excluded from segment EBITDA results as they are centrally managed and not monitored by or reported to our CEO by segment.
Ting Mobile wireless usage contracts grant customers access to standard talk, text and data mobile services. Ting Mobile contracts are billed based on the customer's selected rate plan, which can either be usage based or an unlimited plan. All rate plan options are charged to customers on a postpaid, monthly basis at the end of their billing cycle. All future revenues associated with Retail Mobile Services stream will only be for this subset of customers retained by the Company, as mentioned above. Ting Mobile services are primarily contracted through the Ting website, for one month at a time and contain no commitment to renew the contract following each customer's monthly billing cycle. The Company's billing cycle for all Ting Mobile customers is computed based on the customer's activation date. In order to recognize revenue as the Company satisfies its obligations, we compute the amount of revenues earned but not billed from the end of each billing cycle to the end of each reporting period. In addition, revenues associated with the sale of wireless devices and accessories are recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer and shipment has occurred. Incentive marketing credits given to customers are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
These mobile services revenue streams also include transitional services provided to EchoStar. These are billed monthly at set and established rates for services provided in period and include the provision of sales, marketing, order fulfillment, and data analytics related to the legacy customer base sold to EchoStar. The Company recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies its obligations to provide transitional services.
As a form of consideration for the sale of the customer relationships, the Company receives a payout on the margin associated with the legacy customer base sold to EchoStar, over a period of 10 years. This has been classified as Other Income and not considered revenue in the current period.

Total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $9.1 million, or 10%, to $98.5 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net revenue was driven by Tucows Domains, Wavelo, and Ting; partially offset by a decline in revenues from Mobile Services and eliminations. The Tucows Domains segment increased $5.2 million primarily driven by passthrough pricing increases and strong expiry auction revenue performance. The Wavelo segment increased $2.2 million in the current period primarily driven by increased revenues from both existing and new customers. The Ting segment increased $1.8 million in the current period as a result of subscriber growth on our Fiber network across the United States. Mobile Services and eliminations decreased by $0.2 million attributable to decreased telephony services and decreased transitional services revenues, as well as a slight increase in intercompany revenues.
Total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $16.2 million, or 9%, to $193.1 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net revenue was driven by Tucows Domains, Wavelo, and Ting; partially offset by a decline in revenues from Mobile Services and eliminations. The Tucows Domains segment increased $8.6 million primarily driven by passthrough pricing increases and strong expiry auction revenue performance. The Wavelo segment increased $4.2 million in the current period primarily driven by increased revenues from both existing and new customers. The Ting segment increased $4.1 million in the current period as a result of subscriber growth on our Fiber network across the United States. Mobile Services and eliminations decreased by $0.6 million attributable to decreased telephony services and decreased transitional services revenues, as well as a slight increase in intercompany revenues.
Deferred revenue at June 30, 2025, increased by $5.9 million to $162.7 million from $156.8 million at December 31, 2024. This was driven by Ting construction mobilization in a new partner market and furthered by an increase in Tucows Domains current period billings for domain name registrations and service renewals, characteristic of the seasonal renewal pattern we see during the beginning of a Fiscal Year, as well as the increase in pricing through the current period being passed through from select registry cost increases. This was slightly offset by a decrease in Wavelo as bundled professional services expired and were recognized into revenue.
During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a customer, EchoStar, within our Wavelo segment accounted for 12% and 12% of total net revenues, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, EchoStar also represented 56% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024 EchoStar represented 56% of accounts receivable. Though a significant portion of the Company’s domain services revenues are prepaid by our customers, where the Company does collect receivables, management judgment is required at the time revenue is recorded to assess whether the collection of the resulting receivables is reasonably assured. On an ongoing basis, we assess the ability of our customers to make required payments. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively. Based on this assessment, we expect the carrying amount of our outstanding receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, to be fully collected.
Ting
Ting generated $16.4 million in net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025, up $1.8 million, or 13%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This growth is driven by subscriber growth across our Fiber network and small increases in average revenue per user ("ARPU") relative to the three months ended June 30, 2024, as well as the continued expansion of our Ting Internet footprint to new Ting towns throughout the United States.
Ting generated $32.7 million in net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025, up $4.0 million, or 14%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This growth is driven by subscriber growth across our Fiber network and small increases in average revenue per user ("ARPU") relative to the six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as the continued expansion of our Ting Internet footprint to new Ting towns throughout the United States.
As of June 30, 2025, Ting Internet had access to 132,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 66,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 52,000 active subscribers under its management; compared to having access to 128,000 owned infrastructure serviceable addresses, 36,000 partner infrastructure serviceable addresses and 48,000 active subscribers under its management as of June 30, 2024. These figures exclude any changes in serviceable addresses and accounts attributable to the Simply Bits acquisition.
Wavelo
Platform Services
Net revenues from Wavelo Platform Services for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $2.2 million, or 21%, to $12.7 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net revenue is driven by incremental revenues from existing customers, EchoStar following contract renewal, Ting, as well as new customers. Wavelo revenues continue to benefit from our customer's own subscriber growth. Intercompany revenues earned for provision of services on the ISOS and SM platforms between Wavelo and Ting are included in Wavelo's segment revenues for purposes of segment analysis, but are ultimately eliminated upon consolidation. The elimination impact is presented below in Corporate and other - Mobile Services and Eliminations.

Other Professional Services
Net revenues from Other Professional Services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from less than $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to NIL million in the current period. These revenues related to the provision of standalone technology services development work for our CSP customers and are non-recurring and often one-time in nature, and expectantly can fluctuate period over period. These revenues depend on the volume (if any) and scope of standalone technology services development work our customers engage us to perform. In the current period, we performed no standalone professional services for our customers.

Tucows Domains
Wholesale - Domain Services

This accounting treatment reasonably approximates a recognition pattern that corresponds with the provision of the services during the period. Market development funds that do not represent a payment for distinct goods or services provided by the Company, and thus do not meet the criteria for revenue recognition under ASU 2014-09, are reflected as cost of goods sold and are recognized as earned.

Total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $7.7 million or 11%, to $76.4 million from $68.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The three-month increase in cost of revenues was driven by increases across Ting, Tucows Domains, and Mobile Service and eliminations of $3.9 million, $2.5 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. The increase in Ting of $3.9 million was primarily driven by a $3.0 million one-time Ting lease accounting adjustment, with the remaining variance driven by costs of revenues associated with growth in active subscribers. The increase in Tucows Domains of $2.5 million was primarily a result of cost increases from select registries through the current period. The increase in Mobile Services and eliminations of $1.5 million was primarily a result of higher mobile telephony services costs due to MNO penalties and plan mix changes impacting usage in the current period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Wavelo of $0.2 million driven by the absence of the amortization of previously capitalized costs associated with EchoStar contract. Costs in Network Expenses remained flat by value and decreased as a percentage of total cost of revenues by 3%.
Total cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $9.6 million or 7%, to $147.4 million from $137.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The six-month increase in cost of revenues was driven by increases across Ting, Tucows Domains, and Mobile Service and eliminations of $4.4 million, $4.3 million, and $2.9 million, respectively. The increase in Ting of $4.4 million was primarily driven by a $3.0 million one-time Ting lease accounting adjustment, with the remaining variance driven by costs of revenues associated with growth in active subscribers. The increase in Tucows Domains of $4.3 million was primarily a result of cost increases from select registries through the current period. The increase in Mobile Services and eliminations of $2.9 million was primarily a result of higher mobile telephony services costs due to MNO penalties and plan mix changes in the current period. These increases were partially offset by decreases across Network Expenses and Wavelo of $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The decrease in Network Expenses of $1.4 million was primarily driven by decreased people and software costs following the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan in October 2024. The decrease in Wavelo of $0.4 million was driven by the absence of the amortization of previously capitalized costs associated with EchoStar contract.
Deferred costs of fulfillment as of June 30, 2025, increased by $2.0 million, or 2%, to $119.0 million from $117.0 million at December 31, 2024. This was primarily driven by Tucows Domains with an increase of $1.8 million from the increase in current period billings for domain name registrations and service renewals, characteristic of the seasonal renewal pattern we see during the beginning of a Fiscal Year as well as the increase in registry costs through the current period, consistent with the increase in deferred revenues discussed above. This increase was furthered by Ting with an increase of $0.2 million related to Laguna Woods Village, California, United States construction mobilization.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $0.1 million, or 10%, to $0.7 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by the small part of the completed amortization of brand and customer relationships associated with the Company's Fiscal 2017 acquisition of eNom. The amortization of the related assets was completed in January 2024.
Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $0.6 million, or 27%, to $1.6 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven in part by the completed amortization of Tucows Delaware brand assets acquired in Fiscal 2005. The amortization of the related assets was completed in March 2025.

Other income (expenses) during the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $1.7 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in income was primarily driven by higher net interest expense, lower other income, and lower income earned on sale of Transferred Assets to EchoStar. Net interest expense increased by $1.1 million, driven by the inclusion of $1.0 million interest expense associated with the 2023 and 2024 Term Notes, a $0.5 million increase due to lower interest expense capitalization associated with Fiber network assets under construction, a $0.2 million increase due to the absence of money market fund income post-securitization, and a $0.1 million increase in interest expense associated with the Generate agreement; partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in interest expense related to the Credit Facility for the Tucows businesses excluding Ting due to the reduction in outstanding principal balance. Other income decreased by $0.4 million driven by the share of the current period loss in Orange Domains joint venture. Income earned on sale of Transferred Assets to EchoStar decreased by $0.2 million from normal churn, as expected.
Other income (expenses) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $4.4 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in income was primarily driven by higher net interest expense, lower income earned on sale of Transferred Assets to EchoStar, and lower other income. Net interest expense increased by $2.8 million, driven by the inclusion of $2.0 million interest expense associated with the 2023 and 2024 Term Notes, a $1.2 million increase due to lower interest expense capitalization associated with Fiber network assets under construction, a $0.7 million increase due to the absence of money market fund income post-securitization, and a $0.5 million increase in interest expense associated with the Generate agreement; partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in interest expense related to the Credit Facility for the Tucows businesses excluding Ting due to the reduction in outstanding principal balance.

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively when compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024. The change in effective tax rate is primarily due an increase in foreign tax expense, driven by strong performance in our Tucows Domains segment.
We regularly evaluate our deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, to determine whether a valuation allowance is necessary based on our expectations of future taxable income. The increase in our valuation allowance on net operating losses reflects our assessment of the likelihood of realizing future tax benefits associated with these losses.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, enacting a number of significant changes to the U.S. tax code. Among other provisions, the OBBBA reinstates full expensing of certain research and development expenditures, enhances interest deductibility limits, extends bonus depreciation provisions for qualified assets, and includes other international provisions relevant to the Company.
Under ASC 740, the Company is required to recognize the effects of enacted tax legislation in the period of enactment. As such, the Company will reflect the tax effects of the OBBBA in its provision for income taxes in the quarter ending September 30, 2025. These changes did not impact the Company's provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as the legislation was enacted subsequent to that reporting period.
The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the OBBBA and their potential impact on its income tax provision, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and related disclosures.
ADJUSTED EBITDA
We believe that the provision of this non-GAAP measure allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of our core business using similar evaluation measures to those used by management. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance and prepare our budgets. Since Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a liquidity measure. For liquidity measures, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in Part I, of this Quarterly Report. Non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. We endeavor to compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income based on GAAP, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. Tucows strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
Our Adjusted EBITDA definition excludes provision for income tax, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, asset impairment, interest expense (net), loss on debt extinguishment, accretion of contingent liabilities, stock-based compensation, gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions and costs that are one-time in nature and not indicative of on-going performance (profitability), including acquisition and transition costs. Gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions removes the unrealized effect of the change in the mark-to-market values on outstanding foreign currency contracts not designated in accounting hedges, as well as the unrealized effect from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. dollars to U.S. dollars.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.4 million, or 37%, to $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increases in Ting, Tucows Domains, and Wavelo. Ting contribution increased $2.8 million, primarily driven by subscriber growth across the markets we serve, the reduction in spend across sales and marketing activities, and reduced personnel costs from the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, and to a lesser extent, the February 2024 Workforce Reduction. The Wavelo contribution increased $1.4 million, primarily driven by the recognition of incremental revenues from both existing and new customers. Tucows Domains contribution increased by $1.3 million from strong expiry and wholesale results through the current period. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by decreases in Mobile Services and eliminations. Mobile Services and eliminations contribution decreased $2.2 million primarily from increasing MNO minimum purchase obligation related penalties, offset by reduced personnel costs with the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12.9 million, or 96%, to $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by increases in Ting, Wavelo, and Tucows Domains. Ting contribution increased $11.5 million, primarily driven by subscriber growth across the markets we serve, the reduction in spend across sales and marketing activities, and reduced personnel costs from the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, and to a lesser extent, the February 2024 workforce reduction. The Wavelo contribution increased $3.1 million, primarily driven by the recognition of incremental revenues from both existing and new customers. Tucows Domains contribution increased by $2.9 million from strong expiry and wholesale results through the current period. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by decreases in Mobile Services and eliminations. Mobile Services and eliminations contribution decreased $4.6 million primarily from increasing MNO minimum purchase obligation related penalties and a decrease in income earned on sale of Transferred Assets to EchoStar, offset by reduced personnel costs with the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $4.9 million, our funds held by trustee balance remained flat, and our secured notes reserve funds balance increased by $0.2 million when compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease in our cash balance was driven primarily by $4.7 million from cash used in operating activities, $2.5 million related to the repayment of the 2023 Credit Facility, and $8.9 million for additions to property and equipment. These decreases were offset by $11.6 million proceeds on disposal of property and equipment by Ting.
2024 Ting Securitized Financing Facility
On August 20, 2024, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Ting, entered into a definitive agreement relating to a securitized financing facility related to a privately placed securitized transaction. On the closing date, Ting issued (i) $55,000,000 of its 5.63% Secured Fiber Revenue Notes, Series 2024-1, Class A-2 (the "2024 Class A-2 Notes"), (ii) $8,000,000 of its 6.85% Secured Fiber Revenue Notes, Series 2024-1, Class B (the "2024 Class B Notes") and (iii) $16,000,000 initial principal amount of 9.15% Secured Fiber Revenue Notes, Series 2024-1, Class C (the "2024 Class C Notes" and together with the 2024 Class A-2 Notes and the 2024 Class B Notes, the "2024 Term Notes").
The offering was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Subject to certain limitations, the 2024 Notes are secured by certain of the Company's revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of the Securitized Assets, that are owned by certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy-remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the "Securitization Entities") that act as guarantors under the Base Indenture.
The 2024 Term Notes were issued under the Base indenture, dated as of May 4, 2023 (as supplemented by the Base Indentures Supplement No. 1, dated as of November 10, 2023), by and between the Issuer, the asset parties party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the "Indenture Trustee") and securities intermediary and a series supplement to the Base Indenture dated as of the Closing Date (the "Series 2024-1 Supplement"), by and among the Issuer, the asset parties party thereto and the Indenture Trustee. The Base Indenture and the Series 2024-1 Supplement will allow the Issuer to issue additional series of notes in the future, subject to certain conditions set forth therein.
Interest payments on the 2024 Term Notes are payable on a monthly basis. The legal final maturity date of the 2024 Term Notes is in August of 2054, but, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the anticipated repayment date of the 2024 Term Notes will be in August 2029. If the Issuer has not repaid or refinanced the 2024 Term Notes prior to the anticipated repayment date, additional interest will accrue on the 2024 Term Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (A) 5.00% per annum and (B) a per annum interest rate equal to the excess, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the original interest rate of such 2024 Term Note (i) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a "mortgage equivalent basis" pursuant to the standards and practices of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) on such anticipated repayment date of the United States Treasury Security having a term closest to 10 years, plus (ii) 5.00%, plus (iii) (x) for the 2024 Class A-2 Notes, 2.00%, (y) for the 2024 Class B Notes, 3.25% and (z) for the 2024 Class C Notes, 7.00%. Please see the discussion in the Material Cash Requirements section below.
2023 Credit Facility
On September 22, 2023, the Borrowers and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into the 2023 Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent (“BMO” or the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto, to, among other things, provide the Borrowers with a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $240 million (the “2023 Credit Facility”). The Borrowers may request an increase to the 2023 Credit Facility through new commitments of up to $60M if the Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) is less than 3.75:1.00. The Credit Facility expires on September 22, 2026, which is the third anniversary of the effective date of the 2023 Credit Facility.
The 2023 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The 2023 Credit Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain customary non-financial covenants and restrictions. In addition, the Company has agreed to comply with the following financial covenants: (1) a leverage ratio by maintaining at all times a Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio of not more than (i) 4.50:1:00 at any time from and after the Closing Date to and including December 30, 2023; (ii) 4.25:1:00 from December 31, 2023 to and including March 30, 2024; (iii) 4.00:1.00 from March 31, 2024 to and including June 29, 2024; and (iv) 3.75:1.00 thereafter; and (2) an interest coverage ratio by maintaining as of the end of each rolling four financial quarter period, an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.00:1.00. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's leverage ratio was 3.14:1.00 and Interest Coverage Ratio was 3.99:1.00.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made net repayments of $2.5 million towards the 2023 Credit Facility. The Company ended June 30, 2025 with a remaining principal balance of $192.9 million, for which the required repayment is due in 2026.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company held contracts in the amount of $55.6 million with BMO to trade U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars under an uncommitted treasury risk management facility which assists the Company with hedging Canadian dollar exposures. Please see the discussion in the Material Cash Requirements section below.
Net cash outflows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $4.7 million, a decrease of 55% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net income, after adjusting for items not involving cash, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.2 million, an increase of 102% when compared to the prior quarter. Net income included non-cash charges and recoveries of $30.9 million such as depreciation, net right of use operating asset or liability, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, amortization of intangible assets, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, impairment of property and equipment, deferred income taxes (recovery), net amortization of contract costs, undistributed earnings of equity method investee, and disposal of domain names. In addition, changes in our non-cash working capital contributed to a net cash outflow of $4.8 million. Cash utilization of $12.6 million from the changes in accrued liabilities, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, deferred costs of fulfillment, contract asset, and accreditation fees payable, were partially offset by positive cash contributions of $7.8 million from the changes in deferred revenue, income taxes recoverable, inventory, accounts payable, and customer deposits.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash outflows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $2.5 million, a decrease of 79% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The total cash outflows related to a $2.5 million repayment towards the 2023 Credit Facility, slightly offset by a cash inflow of less than $0.1 million from proceeds received on exercise of stock options.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash inflows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $2.5 million, an increase of 108% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash inflows of $11.6 million related to proceeds on disposal of Ting property and equipment. These cash inflows were partially offset by $9.1 million of cash outflows. $8.9 million of the cash outflows related to investment in property and equipment to support the continued expansion of our Ting Internet Fiber network footprints in North Carolina, Colorado, and California as we seek to extend both our current network and expand to new markets, though at a slower rate following the execution of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan. $0.2 million of the cash outflows related to acquisition of intangible assets.
Material Cash Requirements
As of June 30, 2025, the Company's Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and secured notes reserve funds balances totaled $68.6 million, of which $51.6 million belonged to Ting Internet and $17.0 million belonged to the other Tucows' segments.
In our 2024 Annual Report, we disclosed our material cash requirements of both the Ting segment as well as the other segments excluding Ting. As of June 30, 2025, other than the items mentioned below, there have been no other material changes to our material cash requirements outside the ordinary course of business.
Ting
As of June 30, 2025, the balance owing on the Unit Purchase Agreement was $122.2 million ("Note 18 - Redeemable preferred units" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, of this report). On May 4, 2023, Tucows, through its indirect and wholly owned subsidiaries, including Ting Fiber, LLC entered into a definitive agreement relating to a securitized financing facility where Ting Issuer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, issued the 2023 Term Notes for a total value of $238.5 million and 2024 Term Notes for a total value of $63.0 million ("Note 7 - Notes Payable" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, of this report). The combination of these agreements is expected to fund Ting operations through Fiscal 2025. As of June 30, 2025, Ting elected to accrue the quarterly preferred return on the redeemable preferred units. Ting's decision to defer payment of the preferred return impacted period-end cash and reflects a strategic cash management approach. If the preferred return remains unpaid for two consecutive quarters, the investor has the right to pursue certain remedies as described in "Note 18. Redeemable preferred units" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, of this Quarterly Report.
Ting committed to workforce reductions on February 7, 2024 and October 30, 2024, which aimed to reduce Ting’s workforce by 13% and 42%, respectively. Both plans were designed to lower year-over-year operating expenses by streamlining operations, reducing capital activities and reducing operating expenses within the Ting operating segment.
Ting incurred a net loss of $21.5 million and $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, Ting had $35.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $2.1 million in accounts receivable, $0.7 million in accounts payable. and $12.7 million in accrued liabilities. Comparatively, as of December 31, 2024, Ting had $45.4 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $1.2 million in accounts receivable, $1.2 million in accounts payable and $15.8 million in accrued liabilities. At June 30, 2025, Ting’s long-term liabilities included $289.6 million payable on the 2023 and 2024 Term Notes, as well as $122.2 million on the redeemable preferred units. Ting incurred an operating cash flow deficit of $1.1 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Ting has scheduled interest payments of $35.0 million in the twelve months following June 30, 2025.
Ting may not be able to meet its financial obligations over the twelve months following June 30, 2025 without additional financing. Ting has historically relied on the proceeds from its redeemable preferred units as well as its 2023 and 2024 Term Notes to fund its operations and the expansion of the Ting Fiber Internet footprint. Ting currently has limited capacity to expand its borrowings under the Base Indenture and it is uncertain whether Ting will be able to access additional Milestone Funding under the redeemable preferred unit facility. Our ability to obtain additional financing if required will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained, and which could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, Ting could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that would likely result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.
Tucows Businesses Excluding Ting
Tucows businesses excluding Ting, acquisitions and capital investments have been funded by the Company's operating income and the Company's existing 2023 Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s 2023 Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $192.9 million. Tucows businesses excluding Ting make principal repayments from time to time.
For Fiscal 2025, the Company plans to fund the cash requirements of Tucows businesses excluding Ting solely through operating income, while making discretionary loan repayments to create greater operating flexibility and access to additional financing.
In the long-term, Tucows businesses excluding Ting may seek additional financing to accelerate the growth of our Wavelo business, repurchase shares or future acquisitions. The Company's 2023 Credit Facility expires on September 30, 2026 and the Company will be required to refinance the 2023 Credit Facility once it becomes due.
We develop products in Canada and sell these services in North America and Europe. Our sales are primarily made in U.S. dollars, while a major portion of expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. Our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of Canadian and U.S. interest rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in short-term instruments. Based on the nature of our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material interest rate risk exposure as of June 30, 2025.
We are also subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates under our 2023 Credit Agreement. Changes in interest rates will impact our borrowing cost. However, fluctuations in interest rates are beyond our control. We will continue to monitor and assess the risks associated with interest expense exposure and may act in the future to mitigate these risks.
Although our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, a substantial portion of our fixed expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. Our policy with respect to foreign currency exposure is to manage financial exposure to certain foreign exchange fluctuations with the objective of neutralizing some of the impact of foreign currency exchange movements. Exchange rates are, however, subject to significant and rapid fluctuations, and therefore we cannot predict the prospective impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Accordingly, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the exchange rate risk on portions of our Canadian dollar exposure.
As of June 30, 2025, we had the following outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts to trade U.S. dollars in exchange for Canada dollars:

We have performed a sensitivity analysis model for foreign exchange exposure over the six months ended June 30, 2025. The analysis used a modeling technique that compares the U.S. dollar equivalent of all expenses incurred in Canadian dollars, at the actual exchange rate, to a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. Foreign currency exchange rates used were based on the market rates in effect during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in a decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of approximately $2.6 million, before the effects of hedging. We will continue to monitor and assess the risk associated with these exposures and may take additional actions in the future to hedge or mitigate these risks.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, marketable securities, foreign exchange contracts and accounts receivable. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are in high-quality securities placed with major banks and financial institutions whom we have evaluated as highly creditworthy and commercial papers. Similarly, we enter into our foreign exchange contracts with major banks and financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, we perform ongoing evaluations of our customers, generally granting uncollateralized credit terms to our customers, and maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and our expectation of future losses.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our 2023 Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an outstanding balance of $192.9 million on the 2023 Credit Facility. The 2023 Credit Agreement added SOFR Loans as a form of advance available under the 2023 Credit Facility to replace LIBOR Rate Advances, and such SOFR Loans may bear interest based on Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (defined to be the applicable SOFR rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.10% per annum subject to a floor of zero) or Adjusted Term SOFR (defined to be the applicable SOFR rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited plus 0.10% for one-month, 0.15% for three-months, and 0.25% for six-months per annum). As of June 30, 2025, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on 2023 Credit Agreement by approximately $1.9 million, assuming that the loan balance as of June 30, 2025 is outstanding for the entire period.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on the evaluation as of June 30, 2025 management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, we believe will materially harm our business. We cannot assure that we will prevail in any litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any litigation may require us to incur significant litigation expense and may result in significant diversion of our attention.
In addition, pursuant to Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, the Company is required to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings to which governmental authority is a party if the Company reasonably believes such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, above a stated threshold. The Company has elected to apply a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors are provided to update the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The risks described in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other Quarterly Reports are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
The Company’s bankruptcy remote subsidiary Ting will require additional financing in order to meet its future financial obligations.
Ting incurred a net loss of $21.5 million and $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, Ting had $35.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $2.1 million in accounts receivable, $0.7 million in accounts payable. and $12.7 million in accrued liabilities. Comparatively, as of December 31, 2024, Ting had $45.4 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $1.2 million in accounts receivable, $1.2 million in accounts payable and $15.8 million in accrued liabilities. At June 30, 2025, Ting’s long-term liabilities included $289.6 million payable on the 2023 and 2024 Term Notes, as well as $122.2 million on the redeemable preferred units. Ting incurred an operating cash flow deficit of $1.1 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Ting has scheduled interest payments of $35.0 million in the twelve months following June 30, 2025.
Ting may not be able to meet its financial obligations over the twelve months following June 30, 2025 without additional financing. Ting has historically relied on the proceeds from its redeemable preferred units as well as its 2023 and 2024 Term Notes to fund its operations and the expansion of the Ting fiber Internet footprint. Ting currently has limited capacity to expand its borrowings under the Base Indenture and it is uncertain whether Ting will be able to access additional Milestone Fundings under the redeemable preferred unit facility. Our ability to obtain additional financing if required will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment.
In addition, should Ting fail to pay the Unsatisfied Preferred Return (as defined in "Note 18. Redeemable preferred units" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, of this Quarterly Report) associated with the Series A Preferred Units for two consecutive quarters, the “Cure”. Generate has the option to either (i) require Ting to redeem the Series A Preferred Units at the Redemption Price; or (ii) compel the sale of certain assets of Ting and/or its subsidiaries to Generate with a value equal to the Redemption Price. The Redemption Price is an amount equal to the outstanding Unreturned Series A Capital Balance plus the Unsatisfied Preferred Return (and pay a Make-Whole Premium if the redemption of the preferred units occurs within the four years following the Transaction Close). The Make-Whole Premium is an amount calculated immediately prior to redemption equal to:(i) (A) the Unreturned Series A Capital Balance and Unsatisfied Preferred Return outstanding immediately prior to such redemption plus (B) the cumulative and compounded Preferred Return that would have accrued (at the Preferred Rate as in effect immediately prior to such redemption) on such Unreturned Series A Capital Balance through and including the six-year anniversary of the Effective Date had such Series A Preferred Units not been redeemed, and thereafter applying to such sum a discount rate on a quarterly compounded basis equal to the Applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, less (ii) the Unreturned Series A Capital Balance and Unsatisfied Preferred Return outstanding immediately prior to such redemption.
If Ting fails to Cure and Generate exercises its rights under the LLC Agreement and if Ting is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to further restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained, and which could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, Ting could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that would likely result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.
The success of our Ting workforce reductions involves ongoing risks that could adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and growth strategy, including risks related to operational execution, employee engagement, and long-term competitiveness.
As part of our continued focus on operational efficiency and strategic alignment, we completed two workforce reductions within the Ting segment on February 7, 2024 and October 30, 2024. These reductions were designed to streamline operations, reduce costs, improve efficiency and align our resources with strategic priorities. While reductions have been implemented, the full benefits are still being realized, and we continue to monitor the impact of these actions. Residual risks associated with the workforce reductions include the following:
| - |
Operational Disruptions: The changes to our operational structure may result in ongoing inefficiencies, knowledge gaps, or workflow disruptions as teams adjust to the new resource levels and responsibilities, which could impair our ability to maintain service quality and meet customer expectations. |
| - |
Employee Morale and Retention: The organizational changes may continue to affect employee morale and could result in challenges in retaining key personnel. Any decline in workforce engagement or loss of talent may impact our ability to execute on strategic initiatives and deliver on operational targets. |
|
| - |
Market and Competitive Pressures: During periods of restructuring, competitors may seek to capitalize on any perceived instability. If our execution messaging is unclear, we may risk our market position and competitive advantage. |
|
| - |
Reputational Harm: Public, customer, and investor perceptions of the workforce reductions, particularly if associated with service delays, changes in coverage areas, or additional cost-saving measures could negatively impact our brand and reputation. |
|
| - | Impede Growth: As part of the broader restructuring, capital expenditures have been significantly reduced, which has slowed and in certain markets paused the expansion of the Ting Internet footprint. This reduction in spend will lead to fewer additions to our Owned Infrastructure Serviceable Addresses and may in turn limit net additions to Internet Subscribers Under Management and revenue growth. |
We are subject to minimum purchase commitments with our Mobile Network Operator (“MNO”).
Following the sale of the majority of our Ting Mobile customer base on August 1, 2020, we retained a small subset of mobile customers to which we continue to provide retail mobile services through our partnership with our MNO supplier. The Company is subject to minimum purchase commitments with our MNO supplier through a “take or pay” arrangement. We are committed to a minimum of $13.9 million in remaining payments through February 16, 2026. If we are unable to grow the Ting Mobile subscriber base or renegotiate the contract, our cost of revenues could grow significantly, and may result in a significant increase to the Company’s net loss.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 13, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (“Board”) has approved a stock buyback program to repurchase up to $40 million of its common stock in the open market (the “2025 Buyback Program”). The 2025 Buyback Program commenced on February 14, 2025 and is expected to terminate on February 13, 2026. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the 2024 Buyback Program.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act (a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”) or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K)
