Information about Velo3D’s use of non-GAAP information, including a reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), is provided at the end of this release under “Non-GAAP Financial Information”. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as the sole measure of the Company’s performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Summary of First Quarter 2026 Results 

Total Revenue was $13.8 million. 3D Printer and parts revenue increased 60% compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by an increase in the average selling price, number of systems sold, and an increase in RPS revenues. While system sales are expected to remain the primary driver of revenue in 2026, the Company anticipates that, under its new go-to-market strategy, its RPS parts production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue. 

Gross margin for the first quarter was 17.2% compared to 7.5% in the first quarter of 2025. This change was primarily driven by the higher average selling price of Sapphire XC systems and increased RPS volume.

Operating expenses for the first quarter were $9.3 million compared to $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation recorded in operating expenses of $1.2 million, were $8.1 million, down from $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. 

GAAP net loss for the first quarter was ($7.0) million compared to ($25.0) million in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter was ($5.1) million compared to ($9.0) million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was ($3.6) million compared to ($6.9) million in the first quarter of 2025. For more information regarding the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $16.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $39.0 million as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $12 million in new bookings and ending backlog of $30 million.

“On April 27, 2026, the Company closed a firm commitment underwritten registered direct offering of 3,571,428 shares of its common stock, with gross proceeds of approximately $50 million,” said Jim Suva, CFO of Velo3D. “During the first quarter of 2026, the Company also completed debt-to-equity conversions totaling principal of $15 million, including $5 million converted at a premium to the Company’s share price on the date of conversion, and full repayment of the secured notes. As a result, we reduced our outstanding debt by approximately 70% to approximately $9 million.”

Management reiterates expectations for the full year 2026 to include:

Revenue in the range of $60 million to $70 million.Sequential improvement in gross margin.Greater than 30% gross margin in second half of 2026.Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in the range of $45 million to $55 million.Capital expenditures in the range of $40 million to $50 million, primarily for RPS expansion, subject to the availability of sufficient financing.Positive EBITDA in the second half of 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect”, “estimate”, “project”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “believes”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s guidance for fiscal year 2026 (including the Company’s estimates for revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), the Company’s expectations regarding its ability to achieve positive EBITDA in the second half of 2026,  the Company’s expectations about future demand, growth, profitability, long-term value, capacity requirements and operational efficiencies, scaled production, pipeline of opportunities, customer priorities, positive gross margins, the Company’s expectations regarding its liquidity and capital requirements, including plans to raise additional capital to support its expansion and the potential sources and uses of that capital, the Company’s expectations regarding its potential cost savings, the Company’s expectations about its market strategy and financial and operational position, the Company’s expectations that the RPS parts production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue, and the Company’s other expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “FY 2025 10-K”) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Reports”) and the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the inability of the Company to execute its business plan, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the Company’s liquidity position/lack of available cash, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its key employees; (2) the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; (3) the Company’s ability to service and comply with its indebtedness; (4) the Company’s ability to raise additional capital in the near-term; (5) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (6) changes in the applicable laws and regulations; (7) risks related to the Company’s exposure to government and defense contracts, including potential delays or reductions in government funding, government shutdowns, changes in defense procurement priorities or spending levels, and the timing and uncertainty of government contract awards and modifications; and (8) other risks and uncertainties described in the FY 2025 10-K and the Quarterly Reports, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The information in the table below sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses in this release. Because of the inherent limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, “Non-GAAP Net Loss”, “Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share”, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses”, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from, and should not be compared to, similarly named measures used by other companies. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Non-GAAP Net Loss, Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

Management believes adjusted “Non-GAAP Net Loss”, “Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share”, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses” are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to the Company’s performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure the Company’s core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in the Company’s business and evaluate the Company’s performance relative to peer companies.

Reconciliations of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.

The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses are calculated by excluding stock-based compensation recorded in operating expenses. The Company’s non-GAAP EBITDA is calculated by excluding interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.  With respect to the Company’s 2026 financial guidance regarding non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses and non-GAAP EBITDA, the Company cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to its inability to make accurate projections and estimates related to certain information needed to calculate some of the adjustments as described above.

goeasy Ltd. Reports Results for the First Quarter 2026

Loan Portfolio of $5.36 billion at Q1/26 end, up 12% from $4.80 billion at Q1/25 end
Revenue of $413 million in Q1/26, up 2% compared to $405 million in Q1/25
Net Charge Off Rate1 of 17.8% in Q1/26, up 890 bps from 8.9% in Q1/25

MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 12, 2026 /CNW/ – goeasy Ltd. (TSX: GSY), (“goeasy” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading consumer lenders focused on delivering a full suite of financial services to Canadians with non-prime credit scores, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“We continued to advance our six-point action plan in the first quarter, with cost efficiency measures already taking effect,” said Patrick Ens, goeasy’s Chief Executive Officer. “In March, we took decisive action to significantly reduce our exposure to merchant-originated loans. Our ending loan book size, total yield, and net charge off rate came in as expected. Our direct-to-consumer business remains strong, and with $560.1 million cash provided by operations before net principal written in the quarter, our liquidity position is solid as we manage through this transitional period.”

First Quarter Results

During the quarter, the Company generated $551.3 million in loan originations, down 19% compared to $676.8 million generated in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in lending, consistent with the Company’s six-point action plan, was driven primarily by a reduction in merchant-originated automotive and powersports loan originations, as the Company implemented tighter credit underwriting measures in response to unfavourable credit performance in those portfolios. 

At quarter end, the consumer loan portfolio was $5.36 billion, up 12% from $4.80 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2025, but down $150.0 million or 3% from the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Organic growth in the Company’s consumer loan portfolio was the main driver of growth in revenue, which increased 2% from $404.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $412.9 million in the first quarter of 2026. Total annualized yield (including ancillary products) realized on average consumer loans receivable1 was 27.9% in the quarter, down 330 bps from the same period in 2025, but up 130 bps from the fourth quarter of 2025. Total annualized yield decreased year-over-year mainly due to the impact of higher allowance for credit losses on interest receivable; the continued impact of the lowered maximum allowable rate of interest on the Company’s unsecured lending product; and a higher proportion of larger dollar value loans, which have reduced pricing on certain ancillary products.

During the quarter, the annualized net charge off rate was 17.8%, up 890 bps from 8.9% in the first quarter of 2025, but down 600 bps from the fourth quarter of 2025. Annualized net charge off rate increased year -over-year primarily due to higher charge offs in the merchant-originated automotive and powersports loan portfolios. The total allowance for credit losses on gross consumer loans increased to $541.2 million from $382.8 million as at March 31, 2025, mainly due to the Company’s current view of collectability and an increase in the credit loss outlook for the merchant-originated automotive and powersports loans. The rate of allowance for expected credit losses, defined as the allowance for credit losses on gross consumer loans receivable as a percentage of the ending gross consumer loans receivable, increased from 9.57% as at December 31, 2025 to 10.09% as at March 31, 2026, driven primarily by unfavourable changes in the macroeconomic forecast data used in the Company’s IFRS 9 allowance model.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2026 was $28.9 million, down 80% from $144.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. After adjusting for unusual and non-recurring items, the Company reported adjusted operating income2 of $36.9 million, a decrease from $147.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The efficiency ratio1 for the first quarter of 2026 was 24.5%, a 160 bps improvement from 26.1% in the first quarter of 2025.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $53.0 million, down from net income of $38.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, and diluted loss per share was $3.22, down from diluted earnings per share of $2.28 reported in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss2 for the first quarter of 2026 was $31.3 million, down from adjusted net income2 of $59.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in adjusted net income was primarily driven by lower adjusted operating income from lower total yield on consumer loans (including ancillary products) and elevated credit losses. Adjusted diluted loss per share1 was $1.90, down from adjusted diluted earnings per share1 of $3.49 in the first quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.82 billion as at March 31, 2026, an increase of 9% from $5.34 billion as at March 31, 2025, primarily driven by growth in consumer loans receivable and cash. Cash provided by operations before net principal written2 in the first quarter of 2026 was $560.1 million, compared to $410.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s debt-to-adjusted tangible equity ratio3, a capital management measure for leverage, was 5.30x as at March 31, 2026, compared to 3.69x as at March 31, 2025. The average blended coupon interest rate for the Company’s debt as at March 31, 2026 was 6.6%.

As at March 31, 2026, goeasy had liquidity (cash on hand plus unused contractual borrowing capacity) of $1.10 billion (of which $743 million is not currently available to be drawn by the Company). Subsequent to quarter end, the Company used existing liquidity to repay the US$64.6 million senior unsecured notes that matured on May 1, 2026. The Company was not subject to financial covenant compliance, and was in compliance with all other applicable covenants, for the Revolving Securitization Warehouse Facility I as at March 31, 2026. The Company was in compliance with all of its covenants (including financial covenants) under its Revolving Credit Facility agreement as at March 31, 2026. The Company continues to progress toward transitioning to a replacement backup servicer and completing a satisfactory audit in respect of the Revolving Securitization Warehouse Facility I, completion of which will permit additional draws on the facility.

Selected Additional First Quarter Information

Updated 2026 Outlook

The Company disclosed its first quarter 2026 outlook, along with the relevant assumptions and risk factors, in its fourth quarter 2025 MD&A. The Company’s actual first quarter performance was consistent with its first quarter 2026 outlook across all three measures. The Company continues to focus on prudent management of liquidity, strengthening of credit performance, and alignment of its capital structure. Management remains confident in goeasy’s ability to return to its long track record of strong credit performance and returns that will reinforce confidence among shareholders and other stakeholders.

Q2 2026 Outlook

Full Year 2026 Commentary

Gross consumer loans receivable at period end

$4.9 to $5.1 billion

Expected to decline from December 31, 2025 level before resuming growth in the later part of the year

Total yield on consumer loans (including ancillary products)1

27.0% to 28.5%

Expected to improve over course of the year as charge offs decline

Net charge offs as a percentage of average gross consumer loans receivable1

16.0% to 17.5%

Expected to be in the mid-teens for full year 2026; improvement is expected as the year progresses

This outlook is subject to and based on the assumptions and risks set out in more detail under “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Share Repurchases and Dividend Payments

In consideration of recent developments that affected earnings in 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) made the decision to suspend the regular quarterly dividend on the Company’s Common Shares and to suspend share repurchases under its normal course issuer bid on an indefinite basis. These actions are aligned with management’s focus on prudently preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.

Adoption of Shareholder Rights Plan

The Company also announced today that the Board has approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan (the “SRP”) pursuant to a shareholder rights plan agreement entered into with TSX Trust Company, as rights agent, dated May 12, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

The SRP has been adopted to: (i) ensure that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly in connection with any unsolicited take-over bid or acquisition of control of the Company (including by way of a “creeping” take-over bid); (ii) provide the Board and shareholders of the Company with adequate time to consider and evaluate any unsolicited take-over bid or similar transaction; and (iii) enable the Board to identify, solicit, develop and negotiate any value-enhancing alternatives, as may be considered appropriate, to any unsolicited take-over bids or similar transaction.

The SRP is similar to rights plans adopted by other Canadian companies and ratified by their shareholders. The SRP is not being adopted in response to any specific proposal or intention to acquire control of the Company, and the Board is not aware of any pending or threatened take-over bid for the Company.

Pursuant to the SRP, one right will attach to each issued and outstanding common share of the Company. Subject to the terms of SRP, the rights become exercisable if any person (together with certain related parties) becomes a beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares without complying with the “Permitted Bid” provisions of the SRP. In such event, holders of the rights (other than the acquiring person and its related parties) will be permitted to exercise their rights to purchase additional common shares at a substantial discount to the then market price of the common shares.

The SRP has been conditionally accepted by the Toronto Stock Exchange. While the SRP is effective as of the Effective Date, it is subject to ratification by the Company’s shareholders at a meeting of shareholders to be held within six months of its Effective Date. The Company currently expects to seek shareholder ratification of the SRP at a special meeting to be called and held within that six-month period (the “Meeting”). If the SRP is not ratified by shareholders within that six-month period, it, together with the outstanding rights, will terminate and cease to be effective.

A summary of the principal terms of the SRP will be included in the management proxy circular to be sent to shareholders in connection with the Meeting. The full text of the SRP is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements about goeasy, including, but not limited to, its business operations, strategy and expected financial performance and condition. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to forecasts for growth of the consumer loans receivable, annual revenue growth forecasts, strategic initiatives, new product offerings and new delivery channels, anticipated cost savings, planned capital expenditures, anticipated capital requirements and the Company’s ability to secure sufficient capital, liquidity of the Company, plans and references to future operations and results, critical accounting estimates, expected future yields and net charge off rates on loans, the dealer relationships, the size and characteristics of the Canadian non-prime lending market, the continued development of the type and size of competitors in the market, the inclusion of the SRP in the management information circular for any Meeting and the calling and the holding of any such Meeting and the timing thereof; and the approval, ratification and confirmation of the SRP. In certain cases, forward-looking statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and/or can be identified by the use of words such as “expect”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “aim”, “plan”, “believe”, “budget”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “foresee”, “target” or negative versions thereof and similar expressions, and/or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain factors and assumptions, including expected growth, results of operations and business prospects and are inherently subject to, among other things, risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company’s operations, economic factors and the industry generally. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made by the Company. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, goeasy’s ability to enter into new lease and/or financing agreements, collect on existing lease and/or financing agreements, open new locations on favourable terms, offer products which appeal to customers at a competitive rate, respond to changes in legislation, react to uncertainties related to regulatory action, raise capital under favourable terms, compete, manage the impact of litigation (including shareholder litigation), control costs at all levels of the organization and maintain and enhance the system of internal controls.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list is not exhaustive. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements, and further details and descriptions of these and other factors are disclosed in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2025, including under the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

The reader is cautioned to consider these, and other factors carefully and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter the forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law.

The Company particularly cautions that the Q2 2026 outlook and full year 2026 commentary presented above under the heading “Updated 2026 Outlook” (the “2026 Outlook Information”) constitutes forward-looking information and that in formulating its outlook, the Company makes a series of assumptions, which include, but are not limited to, assumptions about Environmental Conditions (Stability in the macroeconomic environment; Continued demand for non-prime credit across); Portfolio Growth (Loan originations adjust as underwriting criteria are tightened, particularly within indirect channels); Liquidity & Funding (The Company prioritizes liquidity and covenant compliance; Continued access to funding at acceptable rates; Continued strong free cash flow from its existing portfolio); Revenue Yield (Portfolio yield expected to be negatively impacted by bad debts on interest receivable; Business mix shift to include more unsecured personal loan originations at higher yields; Total portfolio yield and net charge off as a percentage of gross consumer loans receivable on its lending products are as estimated in the Company’s budget and strategic plan); Credit Performance (Net charge offs as a percentage of gross consumer loans receivable perform in line with the Company’ budget and forecasts generated through the use of its proprietary credit and underwriting models; The mixture of customers acquired through each of the Company’s acquisition channels and the mixture of new and existing borrowers are as estimated in the Company’s forecast); Investment Performance (No material changes are assumed in the fair value of investments, and no forecast is made regarding the timing of realization of the investment portfolio); and Mergers and Acquisitions (No mergers or acquisitions are contemplated within the outlook period). These assumptions and expectations are subject to a number of risks, including the following, as well as those set out the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s MD&A: Environmental & Market Conditions (Uncertainty in consumer demand or broader economic conditions may adversely impact loan originations and portfolio performance; Deterioration in employment levels or economic stability could negatively affect credit performance and increase net charge off rates; Competitive dynamics or pricing pressures may impact margins and growth); Access to Capital & Funding (The Company’s ability to access capital on acceptable terms and maintain adequate liquidity to support operations and strategic priorities); Regulatory Environment (Changes to laws and regulations governing consumer lending that could impact product offerings, pricing or operations); Credit Performance (A material increase in net charge off as a percentage of gross consumer loans receivable beyond expectations, including adverse performance from prior vintages or new originations); and Operating Execution (The Company’s ability to successfully execute on its Action Plan, including underwriting changes, and operating model alignment and platform consolidation; Risks associated with transitioning originations and customer portfolios toward the easyfinancial platform). The 2026 Outlook Information constitutes targets established by the Company and is subject to change as plans and business conditions vary. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the 2026 Outlook Information. Actual results may differ materially.
