OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 26, 2026 /CNW/ -- Intouch Insight Ltd. (TSXV: INX) (OTCQX: INXSF) ("Intouch" or the "Company"), a provider of customer experience measurement solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights

Highlights from the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025:

• Revenue is 8% higher than the prior year. This increase was due to organic growth in SaaS, merchandising and recurring services revenue.
• Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 46.7%, compared to 50.4% in the comparative period. This decrease is due to the mix of product sales, coupled with growth of some of our most competitively priced programs.
• Earnings from operations were $54,361 compared to a loss of $1,021,120 for Q2 2025. The loss in the prior year is due to the impairment of goodwill and intangibles from the loss of a client obtained through acquisition.
• SaaS revenue increased 18% to $474,999, recurring services revenue increased 6% to $5,879,676, and event marketing automation revenue increased 8% to $572,560.
• Merchandising revenue was $82,824, compared to nil in the prior year period.
• Net loss was $43,136, or $0.00 per share basic and diluted, compared to a net loss of $1,112,023, or $0.04 per share basic and diluted, in Q2 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was $227,559 compared to $370,812 in Q2 2025; a reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure is contained in the Company's MD&A for the period, which is available on SEDAR+ and is incorporated by reference.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as net earnings (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude finance costs, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, share-based compensation, investment tax credits, and the change in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Highlights from the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025:

• Revenue is 7% higher than the prior year. This increase was due to growth in SaaS, merchandising and recurring services revenue.
• Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 48.1%, compared to 50.4% in the comparative period. This decrease is due to the product mix.
• Earnings from operations were $237,896 compared to a loss of $649,769 for 2025. The loss in the prior year is due to the impairment of goodwill and intangibles.
• Merchandising revenue was $120,291, compared to nil in the prior year period.

• Advanced the Company's entry into the grocery vertical, including proprietary grocery research produced in partnership with Informa Connect and NexChapter, which the Company presented during the general session at the GroceryNEXT conference in Chicago on August 24-26, 2026.
• Published two proprietary thought leadership studies, the 2026 Emerging Experiences Study on mobile order ahead and the 2026 C-store Trends Report, both of which heighten the Company's industry profile.

Management Commentary

Cameron Watt, President & Chief Executive Officer of Intouch Insight, commented:

"The second quarter delivered exactly what we said it would. Revenue grew 8% to $7,015,784, our strongest quarterly growth rate in seven quarters, with growth across each of our major product lines, and we did it while continuing to fund the investments that we committed to at the start of the year. We told the market we would invest into growth without diluting shareholders, and we have not issued a single share to do it. We intend to fund these investments from cash generated by operations and our existing credit facilities, and we do not anticipate that an equity financing will be required."

Watt added:

"Our goal to double the business by the end of 2028 remains our focus and our 2026 expectations are unchanged: double-digit organic revenue growth by year end, more than $1 million of merchandising revenue, and continued investment in our strategy, which may result in an operating loss. Merchandising has been slower off the line than we wanted, but the shape of the year is intact. Based on contracts signed to date, we expect third quarter merchandising revenue on its own to exceed the combined revenue of the first half.  We are continuing to pursue our stated strategy and remain optimistic in achieving our goals."
