• 50,000+ card-accepting suppliers already active on Finexio’s platform

• Access to more than 500,000 suppliers through Finexio’s broader supplier base

• Unlock new card opportunity on many of the world’s largest accounts payable and procure to pay platforms through Finexio’s platform partnerships

This scale positions the collaboration to help drive adoption of digital payments across a broad spectrum of industries, suppliers, and enterprises.

Ernest Rolfson, CEO of Finexio, said, “Businesses are asking for efficiency, suppliers want faster payments, and issuers want to capture more B2B volume. This collaboration with Visa brings those priorities together. By combining Finexio’s B2B payments platform with Visa’s scale and innovation, we’re creating new opportunities for suppliers, issuers, and accounts payable and procurement software providers alike to benefit from seamless digital payments.”

Piyush Tiwari, Head of Global Strategic Partnerships at Visa Commercial Solutions, said “Modernizing B2B payments requires scale and simplicity. By integrating Visa Virtual Accounts for Payables and Visa AR Manager, our collaboration with Finexio demonstrates how Visa is streamlining virtual card payments and acceptance across the buyer-supplier ecosystem at scale.

• EBITDA⁽¹⁾ (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $(0.7) million, reflecting improved operating results offset by the impact of losses on derivatives used to manage currency risk.

Nine-Month Period Ended June 30, 2025

• EBITDA⁽¹⁾ (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $(0.9) million, reflecting improved operating results offset by the impact of losses on derivatives used to manage currency risk.

• Balance sheet significantly strengthened as a result of improved operations, debt restructuring and financing activities:

• Cash of $8.8 million (excluding restricted cash) versus $0.3 million at December 31, 2024.

• Working capital of $8.6 million versus negative working capital of $14.6 million at December 31, 2024.

• Short-term loans and convertible debentures reduced to $2.5 million versus $12.5 million at December 31, 2024.

“We believe our results for the third quarter are a solid reflection of the strong momentum and financial strength we are building in our business. These results are the outcome of the extensive restructuring and business realignment we’ve executed over the past 21 months, which we believe sets a solid foundation for sustained growth, stability, and a clear path to profitability. The combination of our growing business, which continues to deliver, and our strengthened financial position, leads to our optimism as we continue to build a world-class company serving growing healthy foods markets and in doing so creating lasting value for our partners, customers, team members and shareholders”, commented Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and Chief Executive Officer.

Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results Overview

• Sales of $15.1 million versus $5.2 million in the prior year, an increase of approximately 189%. Sales grew as new customers were added, while a number of existing customers increased their purchases. Q-3 sales represent the largest third quarter sales in the history of the Company and 73% of total fiscal 2024 sales of $20.7 million.

• Gross profit of $1.2 million or 8.2% of sales, versus $0.6 million or 11.8% of sales in the prior year, an increase of approximately 101% in gross profit dollars. Adjusted gross profit⁽¹⁾ was $0.7 million or 4.5% of sales when accounting for the impact of realized currency hedging activities, versus $0.6 million or 11.8% of sales in the prior year when there was no impact from hedging activities.

• Cash operating expenses of $1.3 million or 8.7% of sales versus $0.9 million or 18.2% of sales in the prior year. Operating expenses have stabilized following the sale of three subsidiaries in Q-2 2024, and reflect incremental costs to support the growth of our business and costs related to our rebranding initiatives.

• Loss from operations of $0.4 million versus a loss of $0.5 million in the prior year.

• Net loss for the period of $2.0 million after accounting for interest and accretion costs of $0.1 million and net losses on derivatives totaling $0.4 million. Net loss also includes a number of non-recurring costs including debt restructuring costs of $0.1 million and losses on the settlement of debt of $1.7 million. Adjusted for non-recurring costs, adjusted net income was $0.2 million versus a net loss in the prior year of $0.8 million.

Fiscal 2025 Nine-Month Results Overview

• Sales of $45.9 million versus $14.3 million in the prior year, an increase of approximately 222%.

• Cash operating expenses of $3.4 million or 7.3% of sales versus $1.9 million or 13.4% of sales in the prior year. Operating expenses have stabilized following the sale of three subsidiaries in Q-2 2024, though have increased due to the assumption of operating expenses that were previously borne by the subsidiaries sold, as well as incremental costs to support the growth of our business.

• Loss from operations of $0.6 million versus a loss of $1.1 million in the prior year.

• Net loss for the period of $9.6 million after accounting for interest and accretion costs of $0.6 million and net losses on derivatives of $2.3 million. Net loss also includes a number of non-recurring costs including debt restructuring costs of $0.8 million and losses on the settlement of debt of $5.5 million. Net loss in the prior year was $0.3 million, driven by a gain from the dissolution of one of our subsidiaries of $0.4 million and income related to the sale of three operating subsidiaries of $1.2 million, offset by losses related to continuing operations.

The Company’s Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025., as well as its Audited Financial Statements and accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 are available at www.SEDARplus.ca or at the Company’s website at www.organto.com under the Investors tab.

(1) The information presented herein refers to the non-IFRS financial measures of adjusted gross profit and EBITDA. We hedge currencies for certain product categories where either the supply or sales commitments are fixed in foreign currencies. The gains and losses from these hedging activities are combined with gross profit to determine adjusted gross profit. We also refer to EBITDA, which is Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These two measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective and thus highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of the Company. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts.

Unprecedented Hybrid AI Platform Integrates LRL’s ExtremeSearch® to Compress Complex Analysis Timelines From Hours to Seconds, Increasing Security and Accelerating Mission Success

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / SOFTwarfare, the American-owned leader in zero trust identity and a next-generation cyber-defense provider, today announced a strategic partnership with Lewis Rhodes Labs (LRL), a pioneer in neuromorphic processing. This collaboration integrates LRL’s advanced ExtremeSearch® into SOFTwarfare’s new QuantaSeek™ platform, enabling organizations to search and analyze massive volumes of raw, unindexed data at unprecedented speeds.

The partnership addresses a critical bottleneck in modern AI: data access. While Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, they are often slow and inefficient when sifting through the terabytes of unstructured data that enterprise and Disrupted, Degraded, Intermittent, and Low-Bandwidth (DDIL) environments rely on. The joint solution overcomes this by offloading the intensive search process to LRL’s hyper-efficient ExtremeSearch technology, a processor designed to mimic the human brain. This allows SOFTwarfare’s QuantaSeek to compress complex analysis timelines from hours to seconds, turning data overload into decisive insight.

QuantaSeek uses LRL’s ExtremeSearch to rapidly filter and find relevant information, which is then passed to its Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) core. This process guarantees accuracy and eliminates AI “hallucinations” by grounding the LLM in verified facts from the user’s own knowledge base. This powerful combination of speed and accuracy is a testament to the elite engineering teams at both companies, who are driven by a shared mission to solve the world’s most complex data and security challenges.

“Our mission has always been to solve the hardest authentication and identity security challenges, which is the foundation of our Zero Trust Identity® platform,” said Wyatt Cobb, CEO of SOFTwarfare. “QuantaSeek is a direct result of that mission-driven R&D. We initially focused on solving massive-scale data analysis for identity security, and in doing so, built a revolutionary search capability. This partnership with LRL allows us to bring that capability to the broader market. By integrating ExtremeSearch, we are delivering AI-driven insights more efficiently, more reliably, and at a speed that was previously impossible. This platform turns data overload into a strategic advantage, empowering our clients to make critical decisions with clarity and confidence.”

“Lewis Rhodes Labs’ ExtremeSearch enables customers to search massive collections of geographically distributed, unstructured data in essentially real time. This allows missions to rapidly identify relevant data anywhere within the enterprise from edge to core. By transferring only relevant data, the cost and latency challenges of edge processing and back-haul are dramatically reduced,” said LRL’s CEO David Follett. “QuantaSeek is a visionary product that integrates the power of AI and SOFTwarfare’s domain expertise with Extreme Search’s data acumen. Prior to QuantaSeek, a mission specialist might wait hours or days for results as source data is pre-processed. QuantaSeek reduces this delay to near real time while requiring a fraction of the space, weight and power.”

For more information on the QuantaSeek™ platform and its capabilities, visit www.softwarfare.com/quantaseek.

About Lewis Rhodes Labs: Lewis Rhodes Labs (LRL) is a leader in advanced data processing, delivering ExtremeSearch solutions powered by its revolutionary NPUsearch™ technology backbone. Inspired by the parallel architecture of the human brain, LRL’s neuromorphic processors enable organizations to perform byte-level search on petabytes of distributed raw, unstructured data in minutes, without indexing. LRL’s technology provides unprecedented speed and efficiency for mission-critical applications in cybersecurity, defense, and big data analytics.

Report reveals state-by-state road performance as policymakers weigh future infrastructure investment.

CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / According to Overdrive’s newly released Truckers’ 2025 Highway Report Card, Indiana tops the list for worst highway conditions in the nation, while Florida takes the crown for best roads overall. Nearly 600 professional truck drivers and owner-operators participated in this year’s survey, grading state DOTs on pavement quality, maintenance, design, congestion and parking availability.

With the 2026 expiration of the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on the horizon, the findings offer a timely glimpse into how truckers, the drivers with the most experience of the nation’s infrastructure, view the state of America’s roads.

Nation’s worst roads

Indiana drew nearly one-third of all “worst roads” votes, with I-70 cited overwhelmingly as the state’s roughest route. Louisiana, Arizona, California, and New Mexico rounded out the top five worst states for highway upkeep. Truckers cited poor maintenance, patchwork repairs, and dangerous surface conditions as recurring complaints.

Nation’s best roads

On the other end of the spectrum, Florida, Texas, and Ohio earned top marks for road smoothness, design, and Department of Transportation responsiveness. Florida’s interstates, particularly I-75, were praised for “outstanding pavement condition” and “well-maintained rest areas with electronic parking signage.”

Parking shortages still a national pain point

When it comes to truck parking, California, New York, and New Jersey ranked worst, with many drivers describing pay-to-park restrictions and aggressive ticketing as daily challenges. Meanwhile, Texas, Ohio, and Florida were recognized for expanding rest area networks and offering more free, accessible spaces.

Full findings and download

The full 2025 Highway Report Card results, including rankings, commentary from truckers, and an easily downloadable version of the full report, are available through Overdrive. You can find it here.

For journalists seeking detailed data, full report access, or more information, please contact Overdrive Editor Todd Dills or Senior Editor Matt Cole, both of whom worked extensively on the Highway Report Card. Cole authored this feature story that offers more in-depth context from the high-ranking worst states.

New survey of cybersecurity and IT leaders finds 80% believe they can detect and contain attacks in hours, yet industry data shows dwell time averaging 181 days and containment taking 60 days.

BOULDER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / WanAware, an innovator in intelligent observability, today released its 2025 Cyber Response & Resilience Study, revealing a widening disconnect between how prepared organizations believe they are for cybersecurity incidents and how they actually perform under real-world conditions. Despite record cybersecurity spending and rapid adoption of AI-driven tools, organizations remain dangerously overconfident.

According to the survey of 600 leaders across industries, 80% of cybersecurity and IT decision-makers claim they can detect and contain a cyber incident in under eight hours. Yet external benchmarks, including IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach 2025 report, show attackers dwell inside environments undetected for an average of 181 days and breaches take 60 days to contain. The findings point to a false sense of readiness driven by fragmented visibility, alert fatigue, and inconsistent trust in automation, all of which widen the gap between perceived and actual resilience.

“Organizations aren’t struggling because they lack tools,” says Jeff Collins, CEO of WanAware. “They’re struggling because they lack clarity, trust in automation, and unified visibility. Security leaders believe they’re responding quickly, but the data shows attackers spend weeks or months inside environments before anyone knows they’re there. That perception gap is costing billions.”

The report finds that IT and network leaders consistently rate their visibility, automation, and investigation capabilities far higher than analysts and engineers, the teams closest to incidents. IT managers report 65% net confidence in cyber readiness, while analysts report just 19%, pointing to a blind spot that impacts response speed, resource allocation, and risk posture.

Meanwhile, dwell time across the industry remains measured not in minutes or hours, but in weeks and months. Alert fatigue further compounds the challenge. The study found that 40 percent of IT managers believe more than 60 percent of alerts lack actionable context. Yet only 16 percent of analysts say the same, not because the noise has improved, but because many report they have learned to live with it, absorbing unactionable signals into their daily routine.

“This confidence illusion, the belief that tools alone equal protection, explains why meaningfully reducing breach costs remains elusive despite AI adoption accelerating across the cybersecurity stack,” explains Collins.

Automation adds another layer of illusion. While more than 80 percent of leaders say they deploy automated actions with guardrails, fewer than 60 percent of analysts agree, and as many as 21 percent still rely on manual response. Automation exists on paper, but trust in automation lags behind, slowing time to act.

The study urges enterprises to transition from reactive defense to measurable resilience grounded in correlated context, unified asset visibility across IT, OT, and edge environments, and automation that operates with explicit trust thresholds, ensuring action happens securely and at machine speed when conditions are met.
