The Fort Worth Press - Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Significant Developments and Q3/2025 Overview

1. Non-IFRS Financial Measures - EBITDAS is calculated by subtracting interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, gain/loss on foreign exchange, gain/loss on disposal of fixed assets and change in fair value of derivative financial instruments from earnings. EBITDAS per share (diluted) is calculated by dividing EBITDAS by the total number of diluted common shares. The terms EBITDAS and EBITDAS per share (diluted) are non-IFRS financial measures, and readers are cautioned that EBITDAS and EBITDAS per share (diluted) should not be considered to be more meaningful than net income determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company's definition of EBITDAS and EBITDAS per share (diluted), are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures used by other companies. While not IFRS measures, EBITDAS and EBITDAS per share (diluted), are used by management, creditors, analysts, investors and other financial stakeholders to assess the Company's performance and management from a financial and operational perspective.

About Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Ltd.

Tornado is a pioneer and leader in the vacuum truck industry and has been the choice of utility and oilfield professionals with over 1,900 hydrovacs sold since 2008. The Company designs and manufactures hydrovac trucks and, through its subsidiary CustomVac, based in Nisku, Alberta, produces complementary vacuum and industrial equipment solutions, including units designed for the transportation of dangerous goods, and provides maintenance and field services to its customers. In addition, Tornado operates a heavy-duty truck maintenance facility in central Alberta. The Company sells its products to excavation service providers in the infrastructure, industrial construction, and oil and gas markets. Hydrovac trucks use high-pressure water and vacuum to safely penetrate and cut soil to expose critical infrastructure for repair and installation without damage. Hydrovac excavation methods are quickly becoming a standard in North America to safely excavate in urban areas and around critical infrastructure, significantly reducing infrastructure damage and related fatalities.
