(1) Non-GAAP Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing a further understanding of results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the financial information of the Company reported under IFRS. EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to revenue or net income/loss determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA as defined by management means earnings before interest and financing costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, transaction costs, foreign exchange gains/losses, discontinued operations, fair value increments on inventory included in cost of sales, unrealized gains/losses on contingent consideration and share-based compensation. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it provides information about the operating and financial performance of EMERGE and its ability to generate ongoing operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs and fund future capital expenditures or acquisitions.

A reconciliation of the adjusted measures is included in the Company’s management discussion & analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” available through SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Notice regarding forward-looking statements

This press release may contain certain forward-looking information and statements (“forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, that are not based on historical fact, including without limitation statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “intends”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “continue”, “estimate”, “forecasts” and other similar expressions. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to comment on analyses, expectations or statements made by third-parties in respect of the Company, its securities, or financial or operating results (as applicable). Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking information in this press release are reasonable, such forward-looking information has been based on expectations, factors and assumptions concerning future events which may prove to be inaccurate and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the risk factors discussed in the Company’s MD&A which is incorporated herein by reference and are available through SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking information contained in this press release is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement and is made as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any intention and has no obligation or responsibility, except as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Parker Nunnery one of five young scientists from across the world to receive $3,000 prize at 2026 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Parker Nunnery, a 2026 John Overton High School graduate, was one of just five recipients of the prestigious Humane Science Award presented by the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS), a nonprofit devoted to the advancement of science without harming animals, at the 2026 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Each award comes with a $3,000 prize to help the winners pursue humane scientific research projects.

Nunnery’s project, “Regulation of the PPARγ Pathway in Lung Cancer,” utilized both traditional cell cultures and advanced three-dimensional human cell-based models to study lung cancer. Investigating therapeutic compounds within these human-derived models allowed Nunnery to help advance cancer understanding and improve treatment strategies without using animals for her research.

Nunnery’s interest in research began at John Overton High School’s Interdisciplinary Science and Research (ISR) program, where she discovered a passion for cancer biology and connected with researchers at Vanderbilt University. Her project became personal when her teacher’s throat cancer diagnosis inspired her to pursue patient-focused treatments. Focusing on human-derived cellular models, she sought better ways to understand human diseases.

“Winning the NAVS Humane Science Award is incredibly exciting, and it was a great experience working alongside mentors like Dr. Greg Smith and Dr. Nicolas Means in the ISR program and with Dr. Amanda Linkous during my internship at Vanderbilt University,” said Nunnery. “Studying lung cancer using innovative human organoid models has inspired me to keep human health at the center of innovation in my future pursuits.”

This fall, Nunnery will attend Vanderbilt University to continue researching organoids, aging and cancer.

“Parker’s initiative aligns seamlessly with the mission of the NAVS Humane Science Award to foster scientific breakthroughs through non-animal methods,” said Dr. Lauren Stein, NAVS director of science and research programs. “This project highlights the vital role young researchers play in creating a more ethical, high-impact future for science. Parker is, without a doubt, a young scientist to watch.”

Two students from Florida and one each from Canada and South Korea also were selected as Humane Science Award winners for their projects among more than 1,300 submitted to ISEF. The competition drew more than 1,700 top-tier high school students from over 60 countries and territories to compete for over $7 million in awards, scholarships and internships and is the world’s largest pre-college science competition.

NAVS is the only animal advocacy organization invited to present an award at ISEF recognizing exceptional student projects that combine scientific excellence with humane, non-animal methods since 2002.
