Key Financial Data and Comparative Results

Results of Operations for the Fourth Quarter and Year ended December 31, 2025

Revenue for the three- and twelve- month periods ended December 31, 2025 increased 34.3% to $9.0 million and 33.3% to $35.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024.  In the Pharmacy business, revenue grew year over year by 51.2% to $5.6 million and 54.7% to $22.7 million respectively, in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 due to growth in sales of compounded products and the impact of the acquisition of The Compounding Pharmacy of Manitoba in December 2024 (the" CPM Acquisition").  Revenue in the Animal Health business grew year over year by 13.2% to $3.4 million and 7.4% to $13.0 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 driven by increased sales in established and new products.  

Gross profit margins for the three- and twelve- month periods ended December 31, 2025 increased to 51.9% from 50.2% and 53.3% from 51.3% compared to the same periods in 2024. Year to date, gross profits were impacted by increased margins in the Pharmacy business as a result of decreased material and labour costs and the impact of the CPM Acquisition and increased margins in the Animal Health business as a result of product mix.

Total expenses for the three- and twelve- month periods ended December 31, 2025, increased 8.1% to $3.8 million and 26.6% to $15.0 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2024. During the twelve-month period, there was an increase in salary, bonuses, and benefits related to operational growth and increased expenses related to the CPM Acquisition as compared to the same period in 2024.  Total expenses in both 2024 and 2025 also included one-time transaction costs related to the CPM Acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the three- and twelve- month periods ended December 31, 2025 increased 79.3% to $1.6 million and 61.0% to $6.9 million compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA¹ was mainly due to increased net income for the period after adjusting for the related impacts from the CPM Acquisition on interest and accretion expenses and depreciation and amortization cost, and transaction costs.

Cash and cash equivalents were $7.7 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2024.  Cash increased by $1.3 million mainly due to an increase in cash provided by operating activities.  During 2025, the Company generated cash from operations of $3.8 million, which was primarily impacted by net income for the current period offset by changes in non-cash working capital items, most significantly changes in trade and other receivables, inventories, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $25.1 million, of which $2.2 million are current and $22.9 million are non-current. The Company repaid borrowings of $0.5 million in the quarter and $1.9 million since December 31, 2024. The Company's debt consists of three fixed rate term loans, including a mortgage of $4.4 million secured against the CPM land and building.

Proposed Name Change

The Company announces that it intends to change its name to Grey Wolf Health Corp. (TSXV:WOLF), subject to TSX Venture Exchange and shareholder approval.  What started as an animal health company has evolved over the last several years to include compounding pharmacy services to both human and animal markets in Canada. The Company believes the proposed name reflects Grey Wolf's broader mission to deliver tailored solutions to humans and animals in areas of unmet need. Shareholders will be asked to approve the proposed change at the annual general and special meeting of the Company scheduled for June 24, 2026, voting materials for which will be available shortly.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Board of Directors authorized the grant of an aggregate of 50,000 stock options to purchase common shares of the Company and 87,000 restricted share units to certain officers, directors and employees of the Company to be effective April 27, 2026 pursuant to the terms of the Company's second amended and restated stock option plan and restricted share unit plan, respectively.  The options will expire 10 years from the grant date, will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange on April 24, 2026 and will vest as to one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted share units will expire 10 years from grant date and will vest as to one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

¹Non-IFRS Measures

Management uses both IFRS and Non-IFRS Measures to assess the financial and operating performance of the Company's operations. These Non-IFRS Measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Non-IFRS Measures referenced in this press release includes Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before transaction costs (including, for greater certainty, transaction costs related to the CPM Acquisition), settlement costs, interest income, interest and accretion expense, income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, depreciation of right of use assets, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, foreign exchange gains or losses and other income. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA as an additional metric in assessing business performance and an important measure of operating performance and cash flow, providing useful information to help analyze and compare profitability between companies for investors and analysts.

The following table provides a summary of the differences between Grey Wolf's consolidated IFRS and Non-IFRS financial measures, which are reconciled below:
