The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ATS" and is incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The address of its registered office is 730 Fountain Street North, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 3, 2026.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative instruments that have been measured at fair value. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been omitted or condensed. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company reasonably expects the following standards to be applicable at a future date:
(i) Issuance of IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which will replace IAS 1 for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The new standard aims to improve comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements. The requirements include required totals, subtotals and new categories in the consolidated statements of income; disclosure of management-defined performance measures and guidance on aggregation and disaggregation. Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company is in the process of reviewing the new standard to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
(ii) Issuance of amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. These amendments clarify the timing of derecognition for financial liabilities settled through electronic payment systems, provide additional

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)
guidance on assessing the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with a contingent feature, and introduce new disclosure requirements for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features. Adoption of these amendments is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these estimates, judgments and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year, are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's fiscal 2025 audited consolidated financial statements.
The Company based its estimates, judgments and assumptions on parameters available when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the estimates when they occur.
Tariffs: Management is monitoring the global tariff environment, including reciprocal measures from impacted jurisdictions. While some customers are evaluating capital spend, management has not seen any material impact on the Company's financial position, cash flows and operations. Management will continue to monitor and assess the impact of the tariffs on its judgments, estimates, and amounts recognized in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
4. ACQUISITIONS
(a) Prior year acquisitions
(i) On July 24, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Paxiom Group ("Paxiom"), a provider of primary, secondary, and end-of-line packaging machines in the food and beverage, cannabis, and pharmaceutical industries.

The purchase cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been finalized.
The primary factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill include the acquired workforce, access to new market growth opportunities, and the strategic value to the Company's growth plan. Approximately 80% of the amounts assigned to intangible assets and 87% of the amounts assigned to goodwill are not expected to be tax-deductible. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the Company acquiring Paxiom using the purchase method of accounting as of July 24, 2024.
(ii) On August 30, 2024, the Company acquired all material assets from Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co. KG and Hans Heidolph GmbH ("Heidolph"), a leading manufacturer of premium lab equipment for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination with the Company as the acquirer, since Heidolph meets the definition of a business under IFRS 3. The total purchase price paid upon finalization of post-closing adjustments was $45,064 (30,252 Euros).

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025 and the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, there were no changes in the classification of financial assets as a result of a change in the purpose or use of those assets. The Company uses derivative instruments, including cross-currency interest rate swaps, interest rate swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts to manage exposure to foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. These derivative instruments are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow technique, incorporating inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data. The Company does not have any Level 1 or Level 3 instruments.
During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025 and the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, there were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
Instruments not subject to hedge accounting
As part of the Company's risk management strategy, forward contract derivative financial instruments are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to the translation of foreign currency net assets to the subsidiary's functional currency. As these instruments have not been designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income.
For the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company recorded risk management losses of $2,586 and $1,108, respectively (three and nine months ended December 29, 2024 - losses of $13,310 and $17,501, respectively), on foreign currency risk management forward contracts in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Included in these amounts, during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, were unrealized gains of $1,514 and $1,178 respectively (three and nine months ended December 29, 2024 - unrealized losses of $5,016 and $3,729), representing the change in fair value. In addition, during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company realized foreign exchange losses of $4,100 and $2,286, respectively (three and nine months ended December 29, 2024 - realized losses of $8,294 and $13,772, respectively), which were settled.

Restructuring
Restructuring charges are recognized in the period incurred and when the criteria for provisions are fulfilled. Termination benefits are recognized as a liability and an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed through a formal restructuring plan.
The Company periodically undertakes reviews of its operations to ensure alignment with strategic market opportunities. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, restructuring expenses of $5,485 were recorded in relation to these activities.
During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company recorded $nil and $2,493 related to restructuring activities previously disclosed in fiscal 2025. The costs incurred related primarily to workforce reductions. Included in the restructuring provisions is $245 of costs classified as long-term due to country-specific requirements for termination benefits (March 31, 2025 - $1,000).
Other provisions
Other provisions are related to medical insurance expenses that have been incurred during the period but are not yet paid, and other miscellaneous provisions.
11. BANK INDEBTEDNESS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
On December 4, 2025, the Company amended its Credit Facility, extending the maturity date to December 4, 2029. The Credit Facility consists of (i) a $900,000 secured committed revolving line of credit and (ii) a fully drawn $150,000 secured term credit facility. The Company incurred transaction costs of $2,542 which were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's assets, including a pledge of shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries also provide guarantees under the Credit Facility. At December 28, 2025, the Company had utilized $300,000 under the Credit Facility, of which $300,000 was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2025 - $452,248) and $nil by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2025 - $nil).
The Credit Facility is available in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate advances, Term CORRA advances and/or Daily Compounded CORRA advances, in U.S. dollars by way of base rate advances and/or Term SOFR advances, in Euros by way of EURIBOR advances, in British pounds sterling by way of Daily Simple SONIA advances, and by way of letters of credit for certain purposes. The interest rates applicable to the Credit Facility are determined based on a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in the Credit Facility. For prime rate advances and base rate advances, the interest rate is equal to the agent's prime rate or the agent's U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, respectively, plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 2.00%. For Term CORRA advances, Daily Compounded CORRA advances, Term SOFR advances, EURIBOR advances and Daily Simple SONIA advances, the interest rate is equal to the Term CORRA rate, the Daily Compounded CORRA rate, the Term SOFR rate, the EURIBOR rate or the Daily Simple SONIA rate, respectively, plus a margin that varies from 1.45% to 3.00%. The Company pays a fee for usage of financial letters of credit that ranges from 1.45% to 3.00%, and a fee for usage of non-financial letters of credit that ranges from 0.97% to 2.00%. The Company pays a standby fee on the unadvanced portions of the amounts available for advance or drawdown under the Credit Facility at rates ranging from 0.29% to 0.60%. The Company's Credit Facility is subject to changes in market interest rates. Changes in economic conditions outside of the Company's control could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing its interest expense. The Company uses a variable for fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its Credit Facility (see note 8). The Credit Facility is subject to financial covenants including a net debt-to-EBITDA test and an interest coverage test. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is restricted from encumbering any assets with certain permitted exceptions. At December 28, 2025, all of the covenants were met.

The Company's U.S. $350,000 aggregate principal amount of U.S. Senior Notes were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum and mature on December 15, 2028. After December 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the U.S. Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the U.S. Senior Notes. If the Company experiences a change of control, the Company may be required to repurchase the U.S. Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The U.S. Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. At December 28, 2025, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the U.S. Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility. Transaction fees of $8,100 were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the U.S. Senior Notes. The Company uses a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to hedge a portion of its U.S. Senior Notes (see note 8).

The additional CAD Senior Notes were issued at a premium of $1,250 which is classified as long-term debt. The Company may redeem the CAD Senior Notes, at any time after August 21, 2027, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the CAD Senior Notes. If the Company experiences a change of control, the Company may be required to repurchase the CAD Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the CAD Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The CAD Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. Transaction fees of $9,604 were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the CAD Senior Notes. At December 28, 2025, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the CAD Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility.

The "income taxed at different rates and statutory rate changes" line includes the impact of remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the reduction in the corporate income tax rate in Germany. The change in the enacted tax rate resulted in an increase to income tax expense of $115 and $5,543 in the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, reflecting the decrease in the value of deferred tax assets previously recognized.
On May 2, 2024, the Canadian federal government tabled Bill C-69 for the first reading in Parliament. Bill C-69 includes revised provisions to implement the Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA") and other measures from the federal budget tabled on April 16, 2024. The GMTA introduces a 15% global minimum tax in Canada, aligning with the OECD Pillar Two regime. On June 20, 2024, Bill C-69 received Royal Assent, enacting the GMTA. Consequently, the impact of the GMTA is reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes of $605 and $1,777 respectively ($528 and $1,579 in the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, respectively), in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income.
On June 20, 2024, Bill C-59 received Royal Assent, enacting a 2% tax on certain share buybacks. The impact of this tax is reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (note 12).
14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In the calculation of the stock-based compensation expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, the fair value of the Company's stock option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for time-vesting stock options. During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company granted nil and 354,106 time vesting stock options, respectively (nil and 241,327 in the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, respectively). The stock options granted vest over four years and expire on the seventh anniversary from the date of issue.

(i) For the nine months ended December 28, 2025, the weighted average share price at the date of exercise was $37.77 (December 29, 2024 - $43.39).
The fair values of the Company's stock options issued during the periods presented were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. Expected stock price volatility was determined at the time of the grant by considering historical share price volatility. Expected stock option grant life was determined at the time of the grant by considering the average of the grant vesting period and the grant exercise period.

Restricted Share Unit Plan:
During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company granted 40,137 and 338,411 time-vesting restricted share units ("RSUs") (50,747 and 255,055 in the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, respectively), and nil and 255,205 performance-based RSUs (nil and 210,803 in the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, respectively). The Company measures these RSUs based on the fair value at the date of grant and a compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. The performance-based RSUs vest upon successful achievement of certain operational and share price targets.
On May 18, 2022, the RSU plan was amended so that RSUs granted may be settled in ATS Common Shares, where deemed advisable by the Company, as an alternative to cash payments. It is the Company's intention to settle these RSUs with ATS Common Shares and therefore the Company measures these RSUs as equity awards based on fair value. During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, nil and 238,621 common shares were purchased for $nil and $9,616, respectively, and placed in trust (nil and 332,165 shares for $nil and $14,690 in the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, respectively).
During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company settled nil and 131,057 time-vesting RSUs and nil and 55,839 performance-based RSUs, respectively (nil in the three and nine months ended December 29, 2024, respectively) in ATS Common Shares from the common shares held in trust (note 12). At December 28, 2025, 1,109,180 shares are held in a trust and may be used to settle some or all of the RSU grants when they are fully vested (December 29, 2024, 1,057,455 shares held in trust). The trust is consolidated in the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements with the value of the acquired common shares presented as a reduction of share capital.
Deferred Stock Unit Plan:
During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2025, the Company granted nil and 58,019 Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs"), respectively (three and nine months ended December 29, 2024 - nil and 43,456, respectively). The DSU liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company's stock price. As at December 28, 2025, the value of the outstanding liability related to the DSUs was $19,664 (March 31, 2025 - $17,031). The DSU liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The change in value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income in the period of change.
