Fourth Quarter Operational Highlights

Lightspeed delivered several new product releases in the quarter including:
- Seasonal trends and sales visualisations as part of Retail Insights, allowing merchants to forecast inventory with precision and interpret their data in visual formats;
- Generative AI web builder, enabling retailers to generate websites from simple screenshots with no manual coding required;
- Lightspeed NuORDER now includes PO Sync, a two-way sync to drive faster, automated replenishments for retailers and also now offers to connect multiple buyer accounts so that orders across different buying accounts seamlessly sync to the POS;
- Omni gift cards were upgraded to allow retailers to sell and redeem gift cards across in-store and online selling channels;
- Enhancements to Kitchen Display System, including advanced production instructions, which let servers add custom production instructions and allergen highlights to items, as well as consolidated item lists, which enable chefs in the kitchen to prepare items in batches when ordered from multiple tables.
ARPU^1,4 increased to ~$489 from ~$431 in the same quarter last year representing an increase of 13% driven by our focus on our unified POS and payments offering and growing subscription ARPU¹ that increased 11%.
Gross profit of $111.8 million increased 12% year over year. Overall gross margin was 44%, compared to 43% in the same quarter last year. Subscription gross margin grew to 81% in the quarter from 77% in the same quarter last year driven by a dedicated effort at controlling costs and targeted price increases. Transaction-based gross margin was 29% compared to 29% last year.
Total GTV⁴ was $20.6 billion. An increasing portion of GTV is being processed through the Company's payments solutions. GPV⁴ increased 19% to $7.9 billion in the quarter from $6.6 billion in the same period last year, largely due to the Company's unified POS and payments initiative.
Customer Locations with GTV exceeding $500,000/year⁵ and $1 million/year⁵ were flat and grew 2% year-over-year, respectively. Going forward, we are updating the definition of what constitutes a Customer Location. We have historically emphasized that a single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations including physical and eCommerce sites, so eCommerce sites used by customers alongside a physical site have been counted as separate Customer Locations from the POS. As our POS and eCommerce solutions are packaged as a single omnichannel product, we believe this distinction has become less meaningful. Going forward, we will consider this product to be a single Customer Location. The end result is that the total number of Customer Locations⁴ changes from ~162,000 to ~144,000 as at March 31, 2025 while the monthly ARPU moves from ~$489 to ~$545. All Customer Location growth targets provided at the Company's Capital Markets Day on March 26, 2025 were aligned with this new definition. For additional details, please refer to the Customer Locations Reconciliation table at the end of this press release.
Lightspeed Capital showed strong growth with revenue increasing 28% year-over-year.
Notable customer wins for retail customers in North America:
- Runners Roost, Tennis Plaza, and WOODstack, retailers with advanced inventory requirements and multiple locations, selected Lightspeed Retail.
- In our Supplier Network we added several new brands, including Birkenstock Australia, Crew Clothing, and Tea Collection.
In golf, we signed California's Half Moon Bay Golf Links, host to two world class championship courses.
Notable customer wins for hospitality customers in Europe:
- Lightspeed continued its winning streak with Michelin starred restaurants and chefs, signing La Vie in Dusseldorf, Zet'joe in Bruges, and Joelia in Rotterdam.
- In addition, the Company added the 18 locations of Burger & Sauce in the UK and luxury hotel Le Relais de Chambord in France.
Given the recent volatility in the valuations of technology companies broadly and Lightspeed's share price, the carrying amount of the Company's net assets exceeded its market capitalization as at March 31, 2025 which triggered an impairment test to be performed for the Company. The goodwill impairment test resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of ($556.4) million.
Lightspeed hosted its Capital Markets Day on March 26, 2025, where the Company outlined its three-year strategy and transformation journey.
Lightspeed completed a share repurchase program that saw the Company repurchase a total of ~9.7 million shares for ~$134.2 million during the course of Fiscal 2025. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company completed its latest share repurchase program, repurchasing ~9.0 million shares for ~$84.4 million. Collectively, over the last twelve months, Lightspeed has spent ~$219 million to acquire ~18.7 million shares, representing ~12% of the total shares outstanding as at April 1, 2024.
The Company appointed Manon Brouillette to the role of Executive Chair and Dale Murray to the role of Lead Independent Director of its Board of Directors, in each case effective April 1, 2025, to coincide with the start of the Company's fiscal year.

Financial Outlook⁶

The following outlook supersedes all prior statements made by the Company and is based on current expectations.

As announced at its Capital Markets Day in March, Lightspeed expects to grow its outbound sales team to over 150 outbound sales representatives by the end of Fiscal 2026 in addition to increasing its investment in product and technology development by over 35%⁷. The benefits of these investments will likely be reflected in the latter half of the year as the new sales representatives ramp through the year.

Lightspeed remains confident in its ability to execute its strategy of focusing on retail customers in North America and hospitality customers in Europe and expects to increase Customer Locations within these growth engines. With its increased investment in product and technology development, Lightspeed also expects to increase software revenue.

Finally, the financial outlook reflects our most recent view of the macroeconomic environment and is consistent with our three-year target gross profit CAGR⁸ of approximately 15-18% and three-year target Adjusted EBITDA³ CAGR⁸ of approximately 35% presented at our Capital Markets Day in March. Overall, the Company's outlook is as follows:

First Quarter 2026

Revenue of approximately $285 million to $290 million.
Gross profit growth of approximately 13%.
Adjusted EBITDA³ of approximately $14 million to $16 million.

Fiscal 2026

Revenue growth of approximately 10% to 12%.
Gross profit growth of approximately 14%.
Adjusted EBITDA³ of approximately $68 million to $72 million.

Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios

The information presented herein includes certain non-IFRS financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Income", "Adjusted Free Cash Flow", "Non-IFRS gross profit", "Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses", "Non-IFRS research and development expenses", "Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses", "Total revenue at constant currency", "Subscription revenue at constant currency", "Transaction-based revenue at constant currency", and "Subscription and transaction-based revenue at constant currency" and certain non-IFRS ratios such as "Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and Diluted", "Non-IFRS gross profit as a percentage of revenue", "Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue", "Non-IFRS research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue", "Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue", "Total revenue growth at constant currency", "Subscription revenue growth at constant currency", "Transaction-based revenue growth at constant currency", and "Subscription and transaction-based revenue growth at constant currency". These measures and ratios are not recognized measures and ratios under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures and ratios presented by other companies. Rather, these measures and ratios are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures and ratios by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures and ratios are used to provide investors with supplemental measures and ratios of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures and ratios. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures and ratios in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures and ratios in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company added the new non-IFRS measures: "Total revenue at constant currency", "Subscription revenue at constant currency", "Transaction-based revenue at constant currency", and "Subscription and transaction-based revenue at constant currency", and the new non-IFRS ratios: "Total revenue growth at constant currency", "Subscription revenue growth at constant currency", "Transaction-based revenue growth at constant currency", and "Subscription and transaction-based revenue growth at constant currency".

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net loss excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction-related costs, restructuring, litigation provisions and goodwill impairment. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance, as it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that are not indicative of the core operating performance of our business.

"Adjusted Income" is defined as net loss excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs, restructuring, litigation provisions, deferred income tax expense (recovery) and goodwill impairment. We use this measure as we believe excluding amortization of intangibles and certain other non-cash or non-operational expenditures provides a helpful supplementary indicator of our business performance as it allows for more accurate comparability across periods.

"Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and Diluted" is defined as Adjusted Income divided by the weighted average number of common shares (basic and diluted). We use Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and Diluted to provide a helpful supplemental indicator of the performance of our business on a per share (basic and diluted) basis.

"Adjusted Free Cash Flow" is defined as cash flows from (used in) operating activities as adjusted for the payment of amounts related to capitalized internal development costs, the payment of amounts related to acquiring property and equipment and certain cash inflows and outflows associated with merchant cash advances. We use this measure as we believe including or excluding certain inflows and outflows provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors of the Company's ability to generate cash flows.

"Non-IFRS gross profit" is defined as gross profit as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business performance in regard to the Company's performance and profitability.

"Non-IFRS gross profit as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS gross profit by our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business performance in regard to the Company's performance and profitability.

"Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses" is defined as general and administrative expenses as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, transaction-related costs and litigation provisions. We use this measure as we believe excluding certain charges provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.

"Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses by our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding certain charges provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.

"Non-IFRS research and development expenses" is defined as research and development expenses as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.

"Total revenue at constant currency" means total revenue adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Current total revenue in currencies other than US dollars is converted into US dollars using the average monthly exchange rates from the corresponding months in the prior fiscal year rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. We believe this measure provides a helpful supplemental indicator on comparable total revenue growth by removing the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year to aid investors to better understand our performance.

"Total revenue growth at constant currency" means the year-over-year change in total revenue at constant currency divided by reported total revenue in the prior period.

Key Performance Indicators

We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These key performance indicators are also used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures and ratios. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.

Average Revenue Per User. "Average Revenue Per User" or "ARPU" represents the total subscription revenue and transaction-based revenue of the Company in the period divided by the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period. We use this measure as we believe it provides a helpful supplemental indicator of our progress in growing the revenue that we derive from our customer base. For greater clarity, the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period is calculated by taking the average number of Customer Locations throughout the period.

Customer Locations. "Customer Location" means a billing merchant location for which the term of services has not ended, or with which we are negotiating a renewal contract, and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid subscription for which the term of services has not ended or in respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations including physical and eCommerce sites (this has changed prospectively as detailed below) and in the case of NuORDER, multiple subscriptions. We use this measure as we believe that our ability to increase the number of Customer Locations with a high GTV per year and the number of retail Customer Locations in North America and hospitality Customer Locations in Europe served by our platform is an indicator of our success in terms of market penetration and growth of our business. A Customer Location's GTV per year is calculated by annualizing the GTV for the months in which the Customer Location was actively processing in the last twelve months.

As our POS and eCommerce solutions are packaged as a single omnichannel product, we believe the distinction between physical sites and eCommerce sites has become less meaningful. As such, in respect of periods ending after March 31, 2025, Customer Locations will no longer be calculated to include eCommerce sites and the definition of Customer Locations will be updated as follows: Customer Location means a billing merchant location for which the term of services has not ended, or in respect of which we are negotiating a renewal contract, and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid subscription for which the term of services has not ended or in respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A single unique customer can only have multiple Customer Locations if it has multiple physical sites and in the case of NuORDER, multiple subscriptions. Subscription revenue and transaction-based revenue attributable to standalone eCommerce sites is excluded from ARPU. For additional details, refer to the Customer Locations Reconciliation table at the end of this press release.

Gross Payment Volume. "Gross Payment Volume" or "GPV" means the total dollar value of transactions processed, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER solution, in the period through our payments solutions in respect of which we act as the principal in the arrangement with the customer, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We use this measure as we believe that growth in our GPV demonstrates the extent to which we have scaled our payments solutions. As the number of Customer Locations using our payments solutions grows, particularly those with a high GTV, we will generate more GPV and see higher transaction-based revenue. We have excluded amounts processed through the NuORDER solution from our GPV because they represent business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume and we do not currently have a robust payments solution for business-to-business volume. Some of our brands can accept certain payments from retailers in certain of our geographies, and we may in the future include such volume in GPV once we have further developed our payments solution for business-to-business volume.

Gross Transaction Volume. "Gross Transaction Volume" or "GTV" means the total dollar value of transactions processed through our cloud-based software-as-a-service platform, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER solution, in the period, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We use this measure as we believe GTV is an indicator of the success of our customers and the strength of our platform. GTV does not represent revenue earned by us. We have excluded amounts processed through the NuORDER solution from our GTV because they represent business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume and we do not currently have a robust payments solution for business-to-business volume. Some of our brands can accept certain payments from retailers in certain of our geographies, and we may in the future include such volume in GTV once we have further developed our payments solution for business-to-business volume.

Gross Transaction Volume at constant currency. "Gross Transaction Volume at constant currency" or "GTV at constant currency" means GTV adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Current GTV for currencies other than US dollars is converted into US dollars using the average monthly exchange rates from the corresponding months in the prior fiscal year rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. We use this measure as we believe GTV at constant currency provides a helpful supplemental indicator of the success of our customers and strength of our platform, without the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.

⁽³⁾	These expenses relate to professional, legal, consulting, accounting, advisory, and other fees relating to our public offerings and acquisitions that would otherwise not have been incurred. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses.
⁽⁴⁾	Certain functions and the associated management structure were reorganized to realize synergies and ensure organizational agility. During Fiscal 2025, we announced and implemented reorganizations aimed at streamlining the Company's operating model and aligning the organization with its profitable growth strategy. The expenses associated with reorganization initiatives were recorded as a restructuring charge (see note 24 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for additional details).
⁽⁵⁾	This amount represents a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the three months ended March 31, 2025 (see note 16 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for additional details).
⁽⁶⁾	These amounts represent provisions taken, settlement amounts and other costs, such as legal fees, incurred in respect of certain litigation matters, net of amounts covered by insurance and indemnifications. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses (see note 24 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for additional details).
⁽⁷⁾	For the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, because the impact of including potentially-dilutive shares in the Weighted average number of Common Shares - basic and diluted would not result in a change in the Adjusted Income per Share - Basic and Diluted, the Weighted average number of Common Shares - basic and diluted was not adjusted to include the potentially-dilutive shares.

For the three months and fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, share-based compensation expense was $12,622 and $55,605, respectively (March 2024 - expense of $10,415 and $72,918 excluding $1,995 of share-based compensation expense acceleration that was classified as restructuring), and related payroll taxes were a recovery of $810 and an expense of $973, respectively (March 2024 - recovery of $2,303 and an expense of $867). These amounts are included in direct cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses (see note 8 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for additional details).

⁽¹⁾	Current revenue in currencies other than US dollars is converted into US dollars using the average monthly exchange rates from the corresponding months in the prior fiscal year rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. We believe this measure provides a helpful supplemental indicator on comparable revenue growth by removing the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year to aid investors to better understand our performance.

⁽¹⁾

Current GTV in currencies other than US dollars is converted into US dollars using the average monthly exchange rates from the corresponding months in the prior fiscal year rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. We use this measure as we believe GTV at constant currency provides a helpful supplemental indicator of the success of our customers and strength of our platform, without the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.

*Key Performance Indicators (continued)* *Customer Locations Reconciliation*

	Previous definition⁽¹⁾		Revised definition⁽²⁾
	As at March 31,		As at March 31,
	2025	2024	2025	2024

Average Revenue Per User	~$489	~$431	~$545	~$482
Customer Locations	~162,000	~165,000	~144,000	~146,000

⁽¹⁾

When excluding Customer Locations attributable to the Ecwid eCommerce standalone product, which Customer Locations carry a lower ARPU, the monthly ARPU of our Customer Locations increased by 13% to approximately $489 per Customer Location as at March 31, 2025 compared to approximately $431 per Customer Location as at March 31, 2024. For greater clarity, the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period is calculated by taking the average number of Customer Locations throughout the period. Customer Location means a billing merchant location for which the term of services has not ended, or with which we are negotiating a renewal contract, and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid subscription for which the term of services has not ended or in respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations including physical and eCommerce sites (this has changed prospectively as detailed below) and in the case of NuORDER, multiple subscriptions. We use this measure as we believe that our ability to increase the number of Customer Locations with a high GTV per year and the number of retail Customer Locations in North America and hospitality Customer Locations in Europe served by our platform is an indicator of our success in terms of market penetration and growth of our business. Excluding Customer Locations attributable to the Ecwid eCommerce standalone product, our Customer Locations decreased from approximately 165,000 as at March 31, 2024 to approximately 162,000 as at March 31, 2025 as we focus on retail Customer Locations in North America and hospitality Customer Locations in Europe as opposed to total Customer Locations.

⁽²⁾

As our POS and eCommerce solutions are packaged as a single omnichannel product, we believe the distinction between physical sites and eCommerce sites has become less meaningful. As such, in respect of periods ending after March 31, 2025, Customer Locations will no longer be calculated to include eCommerce sites and the definition of Customer Locations will be updated as follows: Customer Location means a billing merchant location for which the term of services has not ended, or in respect of which we are negotiating a renewal contract, and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid subscription for which the term of services has not ended or in respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A single unique customer can only have multiple Customer Locations if it has multiple physical sites and in the case of NuORDER, multiple subscriptions. Subscription revenue and transaction-based revenue attributable to standalone eCommerce sites is excluded from ARPU. Under this new definition, Customer Locations as at March 31, 2025 were approximately 144,000 compared to approximately 146,000 as at March 31, 2024 and the monthly ARPU of our Customer Locations increased by 13% to approximately $545 as at March 31, 2025 compared to approximately $482 per Customer Location as at March 31, 2024.
