This dividend has been designated as an eligible dividend for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Please note that all dollar amounts referred to in this press release are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. The following press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the accompanying notes, our Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and with our annual Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and our annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, which can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and on the Company’s website www.csisoftware.com . Additional information about the Company is also available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com . Q2 2026 and Subsequent Headlines: Revenue grew 17% (3% organic growth, 1% after adjusting for changes in foreign exchange rates) to $3,335 million compared to $2,844 million in Q2 2025.   Net income attributable to common shareholders increased 386% to $274 million ($12.93 on a diluted per share basis) from $56 million ($2.66 on a diluted per share basis) in Q2 2025. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange and the IRGA liability revaluation the increase was 8%. A number of acquisitions were completed for aggregate cash consideration of $732 million (which includes acquired cash). Deferred payments associated with these acquisitions have an estimated value of $160 million resulting in total consideration of $893 million. Cash flows from operations (“CFO”) were $477 million, an increase of 10%, or $44 million, compared to $433 million for the comparable period in 2025. Free cash flow available to shareholders 1 (“FCFA2S”) increased $125 million to $345 million compared to $220 million for the same period in 2025 representing an increase of 57%. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company completed or has open commitments to acquire a number of businesses for aggregate cash consideration of $669 million on closing plus total estimated deferred payments of $149 million for total consideration of $818 million. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $3,335 million, an increase of 17%, or $491 million, compared to $2,844 million for the comparable period in 2025. For the first six months of 2026 total revenues were $6,516 million, an increase of 19%, or $1,018 million, compared to $5,498 million for the comparable period in 2025. The increase for both the three and six month periods compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily attributable to growth from acquisitions as the Company experienced organic growth of 3% and 4% respectively, 1% for both periods after adjusting for the impact of changes in the valuation of the US dollar against most major currencies in which the Company transacts business. Organic growth is not a standardized financial measure and might not be comparable to measures disclosed by other issuers. Net income attributable to common shareholders of CSI for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $274 million compared to $56 million for the same period in 2025. On a per share basis this translated into a net income per diluted share of $12.93 in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to net income per diluted share of $2.66 for the same period in 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income attributable to common shareholders of CSI was $641 million or $30.25 per diluted share compared to $192 million or $9.07 per diluted share for the same period in 2025. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, CFO increased $44 million to $477 million compared to $433 million for the same period in 2025 representing an increase of 10%. For the first six months of 2026, CFO increased $115 million to $1,374 million compared to $1,260 million during the same period in 2025, representing an increase of 9%. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, FCFA2S increased $125 million to $345 million compared to $220 million for the same period in 2025 representing an increase of 57%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, FCFA2S increased $348 million to $1,078 million compared to $730 million for the same period in 2025 representing an increase of 48%.   Forward Looking Statements Certain statements herein may be “forward looking” statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Constellation or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. These forward looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made as of the date hereof and Constellation assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.    Non-IFRS Measures Free cash flow available to shareholders ‘‘FCFA2S’’ refers to net cash flows from operating activities less interest paid on lease obligations, interest paid on debt, debt transaction costs, payments of lease obligations, the IRGA / TSS membership liability revaluation charge, and property and equipment purchased, and includes interest and dividends received, and the proceeds from sale of interest rate caps. The portion of this amount applicable to non-controlling interests is then deducted. We believe that FCFA2S is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the uncommitted cash flow that is available to shareholders if we do not make any acquisitions, or investments, and do not repay any debts. While we could use the FCFA2S to pay dividends or repurchase shares, our objective is to invest all of our FCFA2S in acquisitions which meet our hurdle rate. FCFA2S is not a recognized measure under IFRS and, accordingly, readers are cautioned that FCFA2S should not be construed as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities. The following table reconciles FCFA2S to net cash flows from operating activities:                           Three months ended June 30,       Six months ended June 30,           2026 2025       2026 2025         ($ in millions)   ($ in millions)                           Net cash flows from operating activities     477   433         1,374   1,260       Adjusted for:                       Interest paid on lease obligations     (5 ) (4 )       (9 ) (8 )     Interest paid on debt     (43 ) (32 )       (104 ) (94 )     Debt transaction costs     (4 ) (4 )       (5 ) (4 )     Payments of lease obligations     (38 ) (33 )       (76 ) (63 )     IRGA / TSS membership liability revaluation charge     (64 ) (126 )       13   (220 )     Property and equipment purchased     (22 ) (16 )       (40 ) (31 )     Interest and dividends received     80   20         92   32                                     383   239         1,246   871       Less amount attributable to                       Non-controlling interests     (38 ) (19 )       (168 ) (140 )                             Free cash flow available to shareholders     345   220         1,078   730                               Due to rounding, certain totals may not foot.                                               About Constellation Software Inc.
