Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight, commented:
“2025 was a defining year for Hydreight. We transitioned from a growing platform into a scaled healthcare infrastructure business, with strong revenue growth and sustained profitability.
The acceleration we saw in the second half of the year was driven largely by the rollout of VSDHOne, which is now becoming a meaningful contributor to both revenue and long-term scalability.
As we move into 2026, our focus is on expanding our partner network, increasing transaction volume across the platform, and continuing to grow our compliant healthcare infrastructures in the United States.”
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & DRIVERS
VSDHOne – Core Growth Engine
The Company’s VSDHOne platform, launched in 2025, was a primary driver of growth, contributing to:
Rapid onboarding of new partnersExpansion of direct-to-consumer healthcare brandsIncreased transaction volume across telehealth and pharmacy services
Revenue growth in 2025 was primarily driven by VSDHOne-related activity, combined with continued organic growth across existing partners.
The platform ramped significantly through the second half of the year, with Q4 alone contributing $14.9M in revenue, representing approximately 270% growth compared to the same period in 2024. This acceleration reflects strong demand from partners seeking compliant, turnkey solutions and demonstrates the Company’s ability to scale transaction volume efficiently across its infrastructure.
OPERATING METRICS & VOLUME GROWTH
Operational performance across the Company’s core verticals continued to strengthen throughout 2025.
The Company’s first two verticals continued their historical growth in 2025, supported by alignment with broader market trends and the introduction of direct-to-consumer products and services through Hydreight’s proprietary platform structure.
Completed Services revenue in Q4 2025 for the first vertical increased by approximately 44% compared to the same period in 2024Completed Services revenue for the first vertical in 2025 increased by approximately 17% compared to 2024New nurse sign-ups increased by approximately 45% in 2025 compared to 2024
These metrics reflect continued growth in the Company’s core service offerings, expansion of its provider network, and increasing utilization across the platform.
PLATFORM SCALE & NETWORK EFFECTS
Hydreight continues to expand its position as a leading healthcare infrastructure platform:
11,000+ licenses signed across VSDHOneNational footprint across all 50 U.S. statesNetwork of healthcare providers, pharmacies, and partners
The Company believes that this scale reflects growing demand from businesses seeking compliant, turnkey solutions to enter and expand within the U.S. healthcare market.
MULTI-VERTICAL REVENUE MODEL
Hydreight generates revenue across three primary streams:
Business partner subscription contractsTelehealth consultation and platform commissionsPharmacy sales
Growth was supported by:
Expansion of product offerings (GLP-1s, peptides, NAD, TRT, and more)Increased partner utilizationBroader adoption across wellness verticals
PROFITABILITY & OPERATING LEVERAGE
Hydreight achieved strong improvements in Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure:
Adjusted EBITDA: $2.5M in 2025 vs. $0.14M in 2024 (+1,765% YoY)Net income (loss): $1.69M in 2025 vs. $(0.41)M in 2024
Performance strengthened meaningfully in the fourth quarter, reflecting the scaling of the platform in the second half of the year.
Q4 Adjusted EBITDA: $1.58M vs. ($0.10M) in Q4 2024
This reflects:
Platform scalabilityRevenue growth outpacing cost increasesImproved operational efficiency
This improvement reflects the operating leverage inherent in the Company’s platform model and was not solely a function of higher revenue. As transaction volumes scaled across VSDHOne, incremental revenue flowed through at higher margins, supported by a largely fixed regulatory, pharmacy, and technology infrastructure. As a result, revenue growth outpaced cost growth, driving improved profitability and demonstrating the scalability of the Company’s platform.
¹ See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation”.
BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY
Cash: $15.65M (vs. $1.2M in 2024)Working Capital: ~$15.7M (vs. deficiency of $2.5M in 2024)Strong capital position to support ongoing operations
The Company also completed a $15M financing in January 2026, subsequent to year‑end, further strengthening its ability to scale operations and pursue strategic initiatives.
Including the $15M financing completed in January 2026, the Company has access to over $30.7M in capital to support growth initiatives.
Please see SEDAR+ for the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES & MILESTONES
Hydreight continues to expand its platform through strategic initiatives and partnerships.
During 2025, the Company:
Strengthened its vertically integrated healthcare infrastructureExpanded its national pharmacy networkInvested in next-generation platform capabilities (VSDHOne 2.0)Established strategic relationships to enhance product innovation and distribution
In 2026, Hydreight further expanded its strategic initiatives through an investment in Insu Therapeutics, a company focused on developing innovative delivery mechanisms for peptide-based therapies. This aligns with Hydreight’s long-term strategy of supporting next-generation treatments across its platform.
OUTLOOK
Hydreight is entering 2026 with strong momentum, supported by:
Continued onboarding of new partnersIncreasing transaction volumes across VSDHOneRecent capital deployment initiativesExpansion into new healthcare verticals
As of the end of Q1 2026, VSDHOne has surpassed 12,000 licenses sold, reflecting continued momentum in platform adoption.
Management remains focused on scaling the platform while maintaining disciplined growth and operational efficiency.
“We look forward to discussing these results in more detail on our upcoming earnings call.” -Shane Madden

Neither TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess its operating performance, and this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These measures are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS or GAAP.
The Company defines Adjusted Revenue as gross cash income before adjustment for the deferred portion of business partner contract revenue and gross receipts from Hydreight App service sales. The Company defines Adjusted Gross Margin as GAAP gross margin plus inventory impairment plus the deferred portion of business partner contract revenue. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before (i) transaction, restructuring, and integration costs (ii) share-based payments expense, (iii) gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance including inventory impairment and (iv) sales tax provision, net of actual cash payments to state tax authorities.
Adjusted Revenue reflects the gross economic activity processed through the Company’s platform during the applicable period and may differ materially from revenue recognized under IFRS, which is based on revenue recognition and deferral requirements. Adjusted Revenue is not a measure of financial performance or profitability and should not be considered a substitute for revenue determined in accordance with IFRS. As used, Adjusted Revenue accelerates cash receipts relative to IFRS revenue recognition. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company believes that these non‑GAAP measures provide information useful to investors in understanding historical operating trends and the scale of the Company’s platform relative to its peers but does not intend for such measures to represent future performance. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with IFRS.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains statements which constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company with respect to future business activities and operating performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions and includes information regarding expectations for the Company’s 2026 strategic outlook, growth, platform scaling initiatives, and anticipated expansion of VSDHOne and other platform offerings.
Forward‑looking information is based on management’s expectations, estimates and assumptions as of the date hereof, including assumptions regarding: continued partner adoption, stable regulatory regimes applicable to telehealth and pharmacy operations in the United States, availability of capital, and general economic conditions.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflects the Company’s management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the Company.
Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and other approvals with respect to the business operated by the Company and/or the potential impact of the listing of the Company’s shares on the TSXV on relationships, including with regulatory bodies, employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; compliance with extensive government regulation; and the diversion of management time as a result of being a publicly listed entity. This forward-looking information may be affected by risks and uncertainties in the business of the Company and market conditions.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

PS Hogan highlights investments from Spring Economic Update 2026: Canada Strong for All to support Canada’s sport system
Published
9 hours agoon
May 2, 2026By
CALGARY, AB, May 2, 2026 /CNW/ – In Budget 2025, we outlined our plan to build Canada Strong. Since then, we have moved fast to build the major infrastructure, homes and industries that grow Canada’s economy and create lasting prosperity; empower Canadians with better careers and a more affordable life; and protect our communities, our borders and our way of life.
We delivered concrete savings for Canadians while supporting key national priorities and keeping investments focused on results. We are maintaining a strong fiscal position, with the Spring Economic Update 2026 showing that projected deficits are lower over the fiscal horizon and that we are on track to meet our fiscal anchors.
The Spring Economic Update 2026 is the next step in our plan to build Canada Strong for All. It provides a clear update on the strength of Canada’s economy, giving Canadians confidence in our plan. It delivers targeted relief to make life more affordable, support workers and accelerate the construction of homes and major infrastructure. It also strengthens Canada’s competitiveness and economic growth while investing in strong, safe communities across the country.
Today, Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation, met with athletes at Foothills Athletic Park to highlight key investments in sport from the Spring Economic Update to build stronger and safer communities.
The Government of Canada is investing $755 million to support and expand Canada’s sport system, which will help athletes safely train and perform at the highest levels. This will increase sport participation across the country by strengthening national sport organizations, infrastructure and local sport communities.
Canada’s new government is transforming our economy from reliance to resilience. The Spring Economic Update 2026 ensures all Canadians can participate in building Canada strong and share in its success. Other key measures include:
The Canada Strong Fund — Canada’s first national sovereign wealth fund. This will invest in key, strategic Canadian projects and companies. While Canadians will benefit from these nation building projects through jobs, economic growth and greater security, the government is determined to ensure that Canadians also have a stake in the projects themselves. That’s why a unique and important feature of the Canada Strong Fund will be its new retail investment product. This allows Canadians to receive financial returns as we build Canada strong together.Team Canada Strong — a new nationwide effort to recruit, train and hire 80,000 to 100,000 new skilled trade workers by 2030–31. This initiative creates new opportunities for Canadians and attracts the workers needed to build more homes and major projects at speed and at scale.Building Stronger Communities — by making communities safer, more connected and more resilient. We are building more homes, getting tougher on crime and fraud and funding essential infrastructure, including small craft harbours that sustain coastal communities and local jobs. We are also investing to build healthier, safer and stronger Indigenous communities.
Our new government is building a Canada that is not just strong, but good; not just prosperous, but fair. A Canada that is not just for some, most of the time, but for all, at all times. We’re building Canada strong, for all.
Quote
“The Spring Economic Update 2026 builds on the momentum of our budget, combining strategic investments with sustained fiscal discipline to keep building Canada Strong for All — delivering prosperity today and strengthening our economy for tomorrow. At this pivotal moment in Canada’s history, we’re charting a course through the fog of uncertainty and global headwinds with strength, determination and ambition — and building one strong Canadian economy, by Canadians, for Canadians.”
— The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue
“The Government of Canada is building Canada Strong by investing in what brings us together — our people, our communities and our athletes. By strengthening the foundation of Calgary and Canada’s sport system, we are building a resilient economy and strong communities for all.”
— Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation
Quick Facts
The Spring Economic Update 2026 proposes to provide $755 million over five years, starting in 2026–27, and $118 million ongoing to Canadian Heritage to support Canada’s sport system to: Host and compete with the best: $50 million over five years to bring more world-class sporting events to Canada. Funding will be tied to legacy-building projects that deliver lasting benefits well beyond the events themselves. Facilities built or upgraded for major events will continue to serve communities, support grassroots participation and strengthen local sport systems for years to come. Support our athletes in performing at the highest levels: $45 million over five years and $8 million ongoing to help our athletes train, compete and perform, including support for better mental health and funding that will be linked to robust safe sport measures and frameworks. These actions will strengthen the sport system and respond to some of the findings of the Final Report of the Future of Sport in Canada Commission while the government continues to consider all of its Calls to Action. Get more Canadians involved in sport: $660 million over five years and $110 million ongoing for National Sport Organisations, increasing funding that has remained largely unchanged since 2005, so that they can invest in a strong and safe sport system and grow participation among children and youth nationwide.

POVADDO AND PROLEGIS ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP TO EXPAND ACCESS TO PUBLIC POLICY PROFESSIONALS FOR OPINION RESEARCH
Published
11 hours agoon
May 2, 2026By
Partnership connects policy professionals using Prolegis’ modernized Congressional platform with Povaddo’s exclusive paid research panel, combining forces to serve the policymaking community
ST. LOUIS and WASHINGTON, May 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Povaddo, a leading provider of public opinion and policy elite research, has announced a strategic partnership with Prolegis, a nonpartisan technology platform serving thousands of policy professionals in Congress and the advocacy community. The partnership will expand the reach of the Povaddo Panel—an exclusive network of nearly 5,000 public policy professionals worldwide—while providing Prolegis users new opportunities to contribute their expertise to policy research.
Prolegis provides nonpartisan technology solutions designed to modernize Congress. Built specifically for the policymaking community, the platform serves as a natural intersection where policy professionals and issue advocacy campaigns meet, making it an ideal environment for connecting researchers with the experts shaping public policy.
Beginning this month, users of the Prolegis platform will be invited to join the Povaddo Panel and become eligible to participate in research studies tailored specifically for public policy professionals.
“There is no shortage of so-called ‘expert network’ firms, but Povaddo is setting the standard when it comes to building the most rigorous and credible network of public policy professionals in the U.S. and beyond,” said William Stewart, President of Povaddo. “What makes Prolegis the right partner is the quality and relevance of their community—these are precisely the professionals our clients most want to hear from. Prolegis users are actively engaged in policy work daily, making them ideal participants for our research studies. This partnership will meaningfully accelerate our efforts.”
“Prolegis exists to serve the policy community with tools that make their work more effective,” said Jim Gianiny, CEO of Prolegis. “Partnering with Povaddo allows our users to contribute their expertise in a new way and take part in rigorous research that helps organizations better understand the policy landscape. It’s a natural extension of what our platform already does: connecting policy professionals with the resources and opportunities that matter to their work.”
Launched in 2018, the Povaddo Panel was built to meet growing demand for research insights from individuals who shape, influence, and analyze public policy as part of their daily work. Over the past eight years, the panel has grown to nearly 5,000 public policy professionals worldwide, including over 2,000 in the United States. Many panelists are former elected officials, including former Members of Congress.
This partnership is part of a broader period of momentum for Povaddo. The company recently announced it is launching a quarterly omnibus survey among public policy professionals in the United States and Europe.
“Companies and other organizations that want to understand what public policy professionals think—whether about their brand or an issue they are facing—now have a new way of doing that. Our new omnibus survey among public policy professionals fills an important need in the research services marketplace,” said Brooke Hayes, Executive Vice President of Povaddo, who oversees the Povaddo Panel and the firm’s new omnibus research service among public policy professionals.
Additionally, Povaddo recently released select findings from its survey of public policy professionals in the U.S. and Europe regarding their attitudes towards AI. In an era when political consensus is elusive, this study finds widespread agreement within policy communities on both sides of the Atlantic that government regulation of AI should be increased.
