Tucows Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Tucows Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Tucows’ Q1 revenue and gross profit rose, with consolidated net revenue up 2% to $96.7 million and gross profit up 2.5% to $24.1 million. However, losses widened as adjusted EBITDA fell 15% and GAAP net loss increased to $18.1 million. Domains remained the main profit engine, as higher-margin mix and expense control helped offset a 2% revenue decline. Retail growth and the completed Radix Registry migration are expected to support results in the next quarter. Ting Internet showed stronger momentum, with revenue up 19% and the adjusted EBITDA loss narrowing to $0.4 million. Cash flow also turned positive companywide, though corporate results were still pressured by legacy mobile obligations. Tucows (NASDAQ:TCX) reported higher first-quarter 2026 revenue and gross profit, but its losses widened as increased sales and marketing spending and legacy mobile obligations weighed on results, according to management commentary accompanying the company’s quarterly report. Chief Executive Officer David Woroch said the quarter showed “continued progress against the priorities in each of our business segments,” highlighting steady performance in the Domains business, growth at Ting Internet and ongoing investment at Wavelo. → Insider Sales: Top AST SpaceMobile Insider Cuts Postion Over 30% Consolidated net revenue rose 2% to $96.7 million from $94.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, Chief Financial Officer Ivan Ivanov said. Gross profit increased 2.5% to $24.1 million, supported by margin expansion in Domains and Ting and moderated network costs, partially offset by headwinds from the company’s legacy mobile business. Adjusted EBITDA declined 15% to $11.7 million from $13.7 million a year earlier. Tucows reported a GAAP net loss of $18.1 million, or $1.63 per share, compared with a net loss of $15.1 million, or $1.37 per share, in the prior-year quarter.

Revenue for Domain Services was $60 million, slightly down from $61 million the previous year, with a gross margin of $17.9 million, down 7% year-over-year. The decline was attributed to a weaker aftermarket for domain sales and deferred revenue impacts. However, the core domain business remains healthy with consistent billed gross margin year-over-year.

Tucows Posts First Quarter 2026 Revenue and Gross Profit Growth and Positive Operating Cash Flow
TORONTO, May 7, 2026 /CNW/ - Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), a global internet services leader, today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. All figures are in U.S. dollars. "Our first quarter results reflect steady execution across the business, with consolidated revenue and gross profit increasing year over year, driven by strong growth at Ting and continued margin gains in Tucows Domains," said David Woroch, CEO of Tucows. "We delivered positive cash flow this quarter, even with Adjusted EBITDA that was impacted by legacy mobile obligations and continued investment in Wavelo's go-to-market efforts. Overall, we remain focused on disciplined execution, strengthening the profitability of our core businesses, and continuing to move Ting's strategic process forward." Financial Results Consolidated net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 increased 2.0% to $96.7 million from $94.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong revenue gains from Ting. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 increased 2.5% to $24.1 million from $23.5 million from the first quarter of 2025. The increase in gross profit was driven by year-over-year margin gains from Tucows Domains, as well as a decrease in network expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first quarter of 2026 came down 15% to $11.7 million from $13.7 million for the first quarter of 2025.

FY2026 Q1 earnings call transcript
Welcome to the Tucows' first quarter 2026 management commentary. We have pre-recorded prepared remarks regarding the quarter and outlook for the company. A Tucows-generated transcript of these remarks with relevant links is also available on the company's website. We will begin with opening remarks and business segment commentary from David Woroch, President and CEO of Tucows and Tucows Domains, followed by Ivan Ivanov, Tucows CFO, who will discuss our financial results in detail, and we will finish with closing remarks from David Woroch. In lieu of a live question and answer period following these remarks, shareholders, analysts, and prospective investors are invited to submit questions to Tucows Management. Please submit questions via email to [email protected] until Thursday, May 14th.
Management will either address your questions directly or provide a recorded audio response and transcript that will be posted to the Tucows website on Wednesday, May 20th at approximately 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time. We would also like to advise that the updated investor presentation and the Tucows quarterly KPI summary, which provides key metrics for all of our businesses for the last five quarters, as well as for full years 2024, 2025, and 2026 year to date, and also includes historical financial results, is available in the investor section of the website. Now for management's prepared remarks. On Thursday, May 7th, Tucows issued a news release reporting its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31st, 2026. That news release and the company's financial statements are available on the company's website at tucows.com under the investor section.
Please note, the following discussion may include forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These risk factors are described in detail in the company's documents filed with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on the Forms 10-K and 10-Q. The company urges you to read its security filings for a full description of the risk factors applicable to its business. I would like to turn the call over to Tucows President and Chief Executive Officer, David Woroch. Go ahead, Dave.
Thank you, Monica. Tucows has always been a company built on durable, recurring revenue, a long-term mindset, and a practical approach to innovation, and that continued to show through in the quarter. Across the business, our teams remain focused on operating well and advancing the work in front of us. Overall, in Q1, we saw continued progress against the priorities in each of our business segments. I'll begin with some high-level comments on the quarter and developments across Domains, Wavelo, and Ting, then Ivan will take you through the segment and consolidated financial results in more detail. With Tucows Domains, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA both increased year-over-year, reflecting the consistency of our business model, while revenue was modestly below the prior year period.
Our reseller channel and customer base continues to support healthy margins. Q1 benefited from a favorable mix of higher margin product sales, customer composition, and prudent expense management. Domain services remained the primary driver of profitability with a healthy, albeit lower, contribution from value-added services. This lower contribution is against a particularly strong prior year comparison with more modest expiry stream sales in the current quarter. Retail continued to perform well. We are pleased to share that we completed the migration of the Radix Registry portfolio in mid-March with the full quarterly benefit expected in our wholesale segment in Q2. More broadly, we remain focused on disciplined execution across the domains business, including scaling complementary growth areas like registry, while continuing to manage the core business for profitability and cash generation. For Wavelo, Q1 was a solid start to the year.
Revenue was modestly ahead of the prior-year period, and subscriber levels remained broadly stable year-over-year. We continue to benefit from the operating foundation we built in 2025, including a disciplined approach to profitability, a more mature go-to-market program, and a product and pipeline strategy that we believe positions us well for future bookings growth. That said, the year-over-year comparison reflects the fact that the prior-year period benefited from both a rate card increase and customer subscriber growth, while subscriber levels have since moderated. Consistent with what we said last quarter, Q1 also reflected continued investment in sales and marketing as we work to strengthen pipeline health and support future growth. Those investments weighed on gross profit and adjusted EBITDA year-over-year. Even so, we remain confident in the strategy.
We are investing thoughtfully and selectively in go-to-market capacity while maintaining a lean operating model. We believe that balance continues to position Wavelo well for long-term profitable growth. Ting's Q1 results marked important progress with subscriber growth and revenue both accelerating. Adjusted EBITDA improved by 50% versus Q1 of last year, reflecting the benefits of a growing subscriber base, continued capital discipline, and contributions from a senior living community contract. At the same time, Ting's partner footprint continues to expand, supporting a more capital efficient path to growth. With respect to Ting's strategic process, our priorities remain unchanged. We continue to actively progress work to reach an outcome that best supports long-term value creation. While we are not in a position to provide a substantive update today, this remains a top priority for management and the board.
Now we'll hear from our CFO, Ivan Ivanov, who will discuss our financial results in detail.
Thanks, Dave, thank you all for joining us today. Consolidated net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 increased 2% to $96.7 million from $94.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong revenue gains from Ting Fiber. I'll walk through each business following the consolidated results. To break out the Q1 revenue contributions, Domains, Wavelo and Corporate combined drove $77.2 million, and Ting contributed $19.4 million. Q1 gross profit was $24.1 million, up 2.5% year-over-year, supported by margin expansion from Domains and Ting, moderated network costs and partially offset by headwinds from the legacy mobile business, which are recognized in our corporate segment. Breaking out Q1 gross profit by business, $22.4 million came in from Domains, Wavelo and Corporate, and $1.7 million from Ting.
Operating expenses in Q1 were $28.4 million, up 11% year-over-year, primarily from higher sales and marketing spend in Ting and Wavelo. We delivered $11.7 million in adjusted EBITDA this quarter, down 15% year-over-year from $13.7 million, primarily due to gross margin decreases in our Corporate segment, as well as investment in Wavelo's go-to-market efforts. Of Q1 adjusted EBITDA, $12.1 million came from Domains, Wavelo and Corporate combined, and -$0.4 million for Ting. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the quarter was $18.1 million or $1.63 loss per share, an increase from a net loss of $15.1 million or $1.37 per share for Q1 of last year.
On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, net loss for Q1 2026 was $16.9 million or a loss of $1.51 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $14.9 million or $1.35 loss per share in Q1 2025, with the year-over-year changes primarily attributable to professional fees and legacy mobile obligations. Let me now walk through the segments. As a reminder, beginning in Q3 2025, we revised our presentation of gross profit in our press release to reflect amounts net of network expenses, aligning external reporting with how we manage the business. However, we continue to provide investors with gross margin and network expenses broken out by business in our KPI summary, and I will address factors in each business impacting gross margin. Let me first start with Tucows Domains.
Q1 revenue for Tucows Domains declined 2% year-over-year to $64.1 million from $65.3 million. While gross profit grew by 2% in Q1 to $18.6 million from $18.3 million in Q1 2025 after network expenses. Gross profit performance was supported by favorable mix of high margin product sales. Domains adjusted EBITDA was $11.6 million for the quarter, up modestly from the prior year on the back of margin expansion and prudent expense management. Within Domains, Q1 2026 wholesale revenue declined 3% to $54.3 million from $55.9 million in Q1 2025, reflecting the tail end of the impact from a large customer moving low margin domains in-house.
At the same time, wholesale gross margin net of network expenses rose 1% in Q1 2026 over the last year due to a favorable mix of higher margin product sales. Within the wholesale channel, domain services gross margin generated $10 million in Q1 2026 for a year-over-year gain of 4%. Value-added services was down 5% year-over-year to $5.1 million in Q1 2026 from moderated expiry sales. In Q1 2026, retail revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $9.8 million, and retail gross margin increased 8% to $5.6 million in Q1 of this year. Turning to Wavelo, Q1 revenue was $11.6 million, with a slight increase year-over-year.
Q1 gross profit was $7 million, down from $7.8 million in Q1 2025, and Wavelo's adjusted EBITDA was $3.6 million, down year-over-year from $4.4 million. Both the gross profit and adjusted EBITDA year-over-year reductions were primarily due to continued investment in Wavelo sales and marketing, which began in Q2 of last year. It is also worth noting the prior year comparison. In 2025, Wavelo benefited from both a rate card increase and subscriber growth. The rate contribution has now leveled off, we're comparing against a stronger base. Turning to Ting Internet, Q1 2026 revenue was $19.4 million, up 19% year-over-year, driven primarily by construction revenue associated with Ting's contract with a senior living community, as well as continued subscriber growth.
As a reminder, construction services revenue is generated from the design, construction, and installation of fiber optic network infrastructure under a specific customer agreement with revenue recognized over time as control of the infrastructure transfers to the customer. For services requiring installation, revenue is recognized once the customer service is activated. Ting's Q1 gross profit was $1.7 million, up from a negligible amount in Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA improved to a loss of $0.4 million versus a loss of $0.8 million in the prior year period, continuing the momentum in Ting's path towards profitability. At the Corporate level, Q1 2026 revenue was flat year-over-year at $1.6 million. Q1 gross profit was -$3.2 million compared to a -$2.6 million in Q1 of last year.
Corporate adjusted EBITDA for Q1 was -$3.1 million from a -$1.5 million in Q1 2025. The reduced profitability in the quarter was primarily impacted by mobile contract obligations and lower revenue on the legacy mobile business. As a reminder, profitability from our remaining legacy mobile arrangements continues to be challenged on both the revenue and cost side. Under the EchoStar agreement, our long-term payment stream depends on the margin generated by the subscriber base transferred in 2020, so returns could be pressured if subscriber churn is higher than expected or if pricing and cost dynamics reduce underlying profitability. Separately, while penalties under our remaining MVNO agreement ended with the completion of the contract term in January of this year, we're now on a month-to-month contract basis with an option to renew. Let me now move to cash flow and balance sheet.
Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for Q1 2026 was $3.5 million, compared with a -$11.3 million in Q1 of last year, making a return to positive operating cash flow trajectory established in Q2 and Q3 of last year. If we break out cash flow from operations for Q1 2026, Domains, Wavelo, and Corporate combined generated $7.2 million, and Ting generated a $3.7 million outflow, mainly from the ABS interest paid. On capital expenditures, we invested $3.6 million into Ting in Q1 2026 and $1.9 million in Domains and Wavelo combined. We ended Q1 with cash and restricted cash of $34.6 million for Ting and cash of $27.4 million excluding Ting. We continue to prioritize disciplined capital allocation and maintaining liquidity across the organization.
Corporate net debt excluding Ting was $162.2 million as of quarter end, net of deferred financing costs, and importantly, we remained in compliance with our covenants under the TCX syndicated facility. For Q1 2026, the leverage ratio was 3.29x, and interest coverage was 4.12x, both on site. Ting's net debt stands at $417.8 million and consists of both ABS notes and preferred shares. In summary, Tucows delivered a solid first quarter in 2026, with consolidated net revenue growing, margin expansion in both Domains and Ting, and a return to positive operating cash flow. Domains continues to be the reliable cash-generating engine of the business, while Ting's trajectory is increasingly improving with adjusted EBITDA reflecting the unit economics of a maturing fiber business moving steadily towards breakeven.
Wavelo is investing deliberately in go-to-market to position itself for the next phase of growth. Tucows ended the quarter with improved cash position year-over-year while remaining in full covenant compliance. We're working to address the headwinds from legacy mobile obligations as well as the ongoing strategic initiative work for Ting. With that, thank you, and I'll pass it back to Dave for his closing remarks.
Thanks, Ivan. Let me close with this. Q1 was a solid start to 2026. We saw continued progress across the business, revenue and gross profit grew, and we returned to positive operating cash flow, a meaningful swing from the same quarter last year and continued execution against the priorities we laid out at the start of the year. Domains continues to demonstrate what a well-run, durable platform business looks like. Disciplined expenses, healthy margins, and consistent cash generation. The Radix Registry migration is now complete, and we expect the full benefit to show in Q2. Ting's trajectory continues to improve. Subscriber growth accelerated, gross profit turned meaningfully positive, and adjusted EBITDA losses were cut in half year-over-year. That reflects both the underlying unit economics of a maturing fiber network and the capital efficiency measures we've been deliberate about executing.
Wavelo is in an investment phase, and we're being intentional about it. The spend is in go-to-market, it's in support of future bookings, and we remain confident in the strategy. The year-over-year comparison will continue to reflect that investment, and you should expect that to normalize as we convert pipeline to growth. The Ting strategic process remains a top priority, and we understand investors are looking for greater clarity. While we are not in a position to say more today, I want to be clear, we are actively working toward an outcome that creates long-term value for shareholders. We are hopeful for a good outcome and will share a more meaningful update as soon as it is appropriate to do so. The area that weighed most on Q1, and I want to be direct about this, was the Corporate segment, specifically mobile obligations and professional fees.
Those headwinds were real but represent costs that are not expected to recur indefinitely and that we're working to eliminate. What I can tell you is that the financial position we're in, positive operating cash flow, covenant compliance, improved year-over-year liquidity, gives us the ability to navigate this period from a position of stability. My priorities for the rest of 2026 have not changed. Generate free cash flow, improve capital flexibility, and continue to hold ourselves accountable to the principles I outlined last quarter. Simpler, more focused, more disciplined. That is the company we are building, and Q1 is a step in that direction. Thank you all for your continued support, and we look forward to updating you on our progress.
If you have any questions about the quarter or today's commentary, please send them to [email protected] by May 14th and look for our recorded Q&A audio response and transcript to this call to be posted to the Tucows website on Wednesday, May 20th at approximately 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time.

Tucows Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
Ting divestiture remains "ongoing" and not delayed, with Tucows working with advisors on the optimal path forward; the timing will depend on asset specifics and diligence and could materially affect strategic outcomes. Wavelo guidance for 2026 implies a year-over-year decline in adjusted EBITDA margin driven by potential loss of Ting-related fees and the full-year impact of mid‑2025 investments, even as the company continues to invest in top-line growth while keeping costs below competitors. Tucows frames its annual buyback authorization as flexibility rather than a commitment, noting liquidity ex-Ting of approximately $20.9 million in unrestricted cash and prioritizing continued deleveraging and completion of the Ting divestiture to strengthen borrowing capacity and support future capital returns.

Tucows (NASDAQ:TCX) executives addressed investor questions following the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 results, focusing on the ongoing process to divest Ting assets, expectations for Wavelo profitability in 2026, and the company’s liquidity position alongside its renewed share repurchase authorization.

Tucows Inc. Q4 2025 Earnings Call Summary
Management is prioritizing the deleveraging of syndicated debt to increase available borrowing capacity and improve the overall balance sheet. The Ting asset divestiture process is ongoing and remains a central pillar for enhancing consolidated free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA. Operational focus is shifting toward consistent free cash flow generation and a conservative, deliberate approach to capital allocation. Wavelo's cost structure is being maintained below competitor levels despite ongoing investments intended to drive top-line growth. The company is developing a formal framework to balance debt repayment, business reinvestment, M&A, and share repurchases. Current liquidity is characterized by approximately $20.9 million of unrestricted cash, excluding Ting-related assets. Wavelo's 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance conservatively accounts for a potential reduction in fees depending on the outcome of the Ting divestiture. Management expects 2026 margins to reflect the full annualization of strategic investments initiated midway through 2025. The timeline for the Ting sale is expected to be driven by asset-specific diligence and stakeholder coordination rather than external market volatility. Future share buybacks are contingent upon meeting specific return thresholds and liquidity priorities rather than a fixed commitment. The potential loss of Ting Fiber and mobile customers as Wavelo platform users represents a headwind to future platform fee revenue. Syndicated debt paydown is a continuous requirement to unlock further financial flexibility under existing committed limits. The company acknowledges a 'wait-and-see' sentiment among investors regarding the execution of the Ting divestiture. Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management stated the process has not been delayed and external market sell-offs do not have a direct impact on the divestiture timeline. The schedule is dictated by thorough diligence and the availability of information required by multiple stakeholders. The decline is attributed to a conservative forecast regarding potential fee reductions if Ting customers exit the platform following a sale. Margins are also impacted by the full-year effect of growth-oriented investments made in 2025. The buyback program is an annual...

Thank you, Monica, and welcome to our Q&A for our fourth quarter financial results. This quarter, we received 3 questions from investors, which we'll address here. We recognize that many of you are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the Ting process, and we understand that perspective. The first question is, is there any update you can provide on the sale of Ting assets? Has the process been delayed as the price of such assets begins to fall with the broad market sell-off? The Ting process has not been delayed. It is ongoing, and we do not believe that external volatility has a direct impact on the time line. We continue to work closely with our financial advisers to determine the optimal path forward. Based on our experience with acquisitions and domains, transactions of this nature require a thorough diligence and coordination among multiple stakeholders, and time lines are driven by the specifics of the asset and the availability of information. We remain deeply engaged in the process and focused on achieving the best outcome. The next question is, why is the adjusted EBITDA margin on Wavelo expected to be down year-over-year as per 2026 guidance? As noted in the management remarks with our Q4 release, there are Ting Fiber and mobile customers on the Wavelo platform. Based on different potential outcomes for the Ting process, this could result in a reduction of fees for Wavelo. There is a range here, and we are conservatively forecasting that possibility in Wavelo's adjusted EBITDA guidance. Additionally, we layered in some investments midway through 2025 that are now fully annualized costs in 2026, and we're continuing to invest to grow Wavelo's top line while still remaining below the cost structure of our competitors. And lastly, we had a question on the announced stock buyback program stating, "I know you always renew this. What is the company's access to liquidity? I also assume that the window is closed until the conclusion of the fiber divestiture." As a reminder to investors, the annual buyback authorization provides flexibility, not a commitment to buy back stock, and any deployment will be evaluated against return thresholds and liquidity considerations. Liquidity and balance sheet strength remain priorities. As discussed in recent quarters, continued deleveraging of the Tucows' syndicated debt and completion of the Ting divestiture process are central to further strengthening our liquidity profile. The syndicated debt paydown is ongoing, and each dollar repaid increases available borrowing capacity up to the committed limit. A successful Ting divestiture would further enhance liquidity by improving our consolidated free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA profile, supporting greater borrowing capacity and overall financial flexibility. Capital allocation remains conservative and deliberate. We are developing a formal framework to guide the appropriate balance between continued deleveraging, reinvestment in the business, potential acquisition opportunities and share repurchases. Currently, our liquidity, excluding Ting, consists of approximately $20.9 million of unrestricted cash. Liquidity remains sound, and our immediate focus is consistent free cash flow generation and further balance sheet strengthening. Thank you for listening to our Q&A. And a reminder that if you feel that the recorded answers or any direct e-mail you receive do not address your question, please follow up with us at [email protected].

Tucows Reports Strong Fiscal 2025 Results; Beats Guidance
TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2026 /CNW/ - Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), a global internet services leader, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. All figures are in U.S. dollars. "2025 was a strong execution year for Tucows with improved profitability across the company," said David Woroch, CEO of Tucows. "For the full year, revenue increased 8% versus 2024, supported by contributions from all three businesses, and gross profit rose 13%, driven by improved economics at Wavelo, continued margin expansion in Domains, and reduced network expenses at Ting. We generated $50.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA—up 45% year over year—and exceeded our 2025 guidance by $3.6 million, led by outperformance in Domains and Wavelo. We remain focused on strengthening the business through operational and capital efficiency initiatives, and with the ongoing Ting strategic process, we believe we are building a more resilient earnings profile and a stronger foundation for long-term value." Financial Results Consolidated net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 6.0% to $98.7 million from $93.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by revenue gains from all three Tucows businesses. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 14% to $24.1 million from $21.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit was driven by strong year-over-year margin gains from Wavelo and Tucows Domains, as well as a decrease in network expenses at Ting. Net loss for the fourth quarter was $22.0 million ($1.98 per share), compared with a net loss of $42.5 million ($3.86 per share) in Q4 2024. Adjusted net loss¹ was $19.2 million (adjusted EPS¹ of ($1.73)) in Q4 2025 versus $15.8 million (adjusted EPS¹ of $(1.43)) in Q4 2024. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 came down 14% to $11.1 million from $12.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year difference was driven primarily by obligations associated with our legacy mobile business. We ended the fourth quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents of $64.2 million. This compares with $70.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 and $73.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
