Contacts Media contact:  Michael Bruce PR Manager     press@iqm.tech Investor contact:   Blair Robertson Vice President, Strategy &amp; Corporate Development Investor Relations Officer investors@iqm.tech Key Operating Metrics In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use Order Backlog and Order Intake as indicators of future revenues from existing signed orders. This approach provides management with a transparent bridge from confirmed orders to revenue, linking sales performance with revenue realization, while remaining consistent with the external definition of backlog as confirmed, not yet recognized orders. We believe these metrics provide useful information for the market to understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team. Order Backlog represents the value of binding customer orders that have been confirmed but not yet recognized as revenue at a point in time. We calculate Order Backlog as the point in time balance of Order Intake less recognized revenue. Order Intake represents the total monetary value of binding customer orders signed during the period, excluding pipeline or expected orders, and reflects new business secured and future revenue generation. These metrics are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered substitutes for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and may differ from similarly titled metrics or measures presented by other companies.  In this release, we have provided our Order Backlog both as of June 30, 2026 and August 3, 2026.  In future releases, we intend to only provide quarterly Order Backlog, and we do not undertake to provide post-quarter updated information.
