"During Q1 2024, the Company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $0.504 million and continued to improve its profitability," said Shawn Wilson, CEO of BuildDirect.

Shawn added, "the Company currently has five Pro Centers located in Michigan which generate approximately $53 million in revenue on an annualized basis (combined). As previously announced, the Company also launched a Pro Center in Richmond, British Columbia within the last year.

3. Revenue and Gross Profit per Segment

The Company reports results in two segments: (1) BuildDirect and (2) Acquired Retailers. We measure each reportable operating segment's performance based on Revenue. The BuildDirect segment comprises Revenue through our BuildDirect E-commerce and brick and mortar operations. The Acquired Retailers segment comprises Revenue of flooring building materials through our acquired brick and mortar locations and include installation services. The BuildDirect and Acquired Retailers segments contributed 25% and 75% of the Company's Revenue respectively in Q1 2024 compared to 30% and 70% of the Company's Revenue, respectively, in Q1 2023.

The following table summarizes Revenue and Gross Profit per Segment for Q1 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2023 ("Q1 2023").

Overall, revenue in Q1 2024 was $15,589,852 compared to $17,846,299 in Q1 2023 for a decrease of $2,256,447 or 12%.

Revenue in Q1 2024 for the BuildDirect segment was $3,849,986 compared to $5,307,376 for the same period in the prior year for a decrease of $1,457,390 or 27.5%. The decrease can be attributed to the Company's strategy to substantially scale down E-Commerce operations to facilitate re-platforming initiatives.

Revenue in Q1 2024 for Acquired Retailers was $11,739,866 compared to $12,538,923 for the same period in the prior year for a decrease of $799,057 or 6%. The decrease can be attributed to a lower demand resulting from unseasonably cold weather and project delays.

Gross Profit in Q1 2024 was $6,090,951 compared to $6,992,441 in Q1 2023 for a decrease of $901,490 or 13%. The decrease can be attributed to the lower Revenue noted earlier for BuildDirect and Acquired Retailers, although Gross Profit as a percentage of Revenue remained consistent at 39%. Likewise, Gross Margin as a percentage of Revenue for BuildDirect and Acquired Retailers remained consistent at 52% and 34%, respectively.

4. Working capital¹

The following table summarizes Working Capital on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

E. Quarterly Financial Information

The below table summarizes the results of operations for the eight most recently completed fiscal quarters. The information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and is unaudited quarterly information.

¹A non-IFRS measure. See "Non-IFRS measures" for definitions and reconciliation non-IFRS measures to the relevant IFRS measures.

The preceding table provides certain quarterly financial information for our eight most recently completed fiscal quarters. This information is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature which are, in the Company's opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Quarter-to quarter comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. The Company has maintained revenue and improvement in adjusted EBITDA by changing its strategy, where the Company is focused on the more profitable Pro Customer base and reduced selling and marketing expenses, as well as incremental contribution from the Superb acquisition (November 2021). The results summarized above follow from our strategy in 2023 to scale down our E-Commerce operations and thereby improve EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, accordingly.

Subsequent events to Q1 2024

• On April 12, 2024, the Company confirmed that it will hold its 2023 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders on June 20, 2024; and

• The Company's Board adopted a fixed omnibus plan (the "Omnibus Plan") as of May 9, 2023, which was adopted by shareholders of the Company on June 8, 2023. The Board has approved the amendment of the Omnibus Plan as detailed below (the "Plan Amendment") pursuant to and in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Omnibus Plan, which amendments are to be effective June 1, 2024. The Board determined it desirable to amend the terms of the Omnibus Plan such that the minimum Exercise Price of any Options to be issued under the Omnibus Plan be lowered from the Fair Market Value to the Discounted Market Price, as defined in the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), on the Date of Grant subject to and in accordance with TSX-V Policy 4.4 provided, however, that the minimum Exercise Price in respect to Options to be issued to U.S. Taxpayers shall remain the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant (capitalized terms as defined and/or described in the Omnibus Plan). The TSX-V has confirmed that it has no objections to the Plan Amendment.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA removes fair value adjustment of convertible debt and warrants, fair value adjustment of inventory, restructuring expenses, non-recurring bad debt expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, and share-based compensation items from EBITDA. Further, we define working capital as current assets less current liabilities.

We are presenting these measures because we believe that our current and potential investors, and many analysts, use them to assess our current and future operating results and to make investment decisions. Management uses these measures in managing the business and making decisions. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended as substitutes for IFRS measures.
