Thank you, operator, and thank you. Good morning, everyone. I would like to welcome you to this annual and special meeting of NFI Group Inc.'s annual general meeting.

I acknowledge that the land on which we are meeting today is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, sorry, and the Wendat peoples, and is now home to many diverse First Nations Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. We respect and give honor to the Indigenous people's history on this land and recognize First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples' ongoing contributions in our neighborhoods and communities today.
We proudly acknowledge our role in the many relationships that make up our home and commit to a spirit of reconciliation for the future. Moving to slide 4, a few quick housekeeping items. We will be advancing slides on the screen during today's meeting. The accompanying slides will be made available on the NFI website after the conclusion of the meeting.

Moving to slide 5. I would like to now introduce Mr. Colin Robertson, Chair of the Board of Directors of NFI. Mr. Robertson has served on NFI's board since 2020 and is Chair of the board since April 2025.
Colin will provide a welcome to today's meeting and then take us through the formal portion of the meeting. Over to you, Colin.
Thank you, Stephen. On behalf of the NFI Group Board of Directors, let me welcome everyone to today's shareholder meeting. NFI delivered strong results in 2025, achieving multiple financial performance records throughout the year, even as the company faced several one-time events that impacted production, field service teams, and our aftermarket businesses. We achieved several major milestones, including record revenue and adjusted EBITDA. In addition, our low-floor cutaway business had its strongest year ever, with record deliveries, and the New Flyer business converted stronger backlog into results. The overall backlog remains a position of strength at more than CAD 13 billion, providing longer-term visibility for NFI's continued growth and success.
These accomplishments were made as the team had to navigate challenging macroeconomic conditions, a rapidly evolving tariff environment, alongside a battery recall which impacted various financials in the second half of the year and an increasingly competitive U.K. market. I will let John recap 2025 in more detail later in his presentation. NFI is well-positioned for the long term, where it aims to benefit from investment in public transport across all of its core markets, expanded product offerings in North America, including the relaunched double-deck bus product line and the medium-duty Xcelsior and strong underlying contributions from its market-leading aftermarket business. Our board continues to play an active role in overseeing the company's growth and supporting the continued delivery of NFI's pledge to deliver a better product, a better workplace, and a better world.
During 2025 and to start 2026, the Board remained focused on executing a detailed multi-year Board renewal strategy with the retirement of two long-serving Board members. Similar to 2025, this strategy has seen new additions in 2026 that bring new skills that reflect our current trajectory. Turning to slide 6, we provide an update on this Board transition. Today, upon completion of the shareholder meeting, Larry Edwards and Katherine Winter will retire. Larry was a Board member, Board Director for 18 years and held numerous positions on the Board, including, most recently as Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director. In addition, Larry was previously Chair of the Human Resources, Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committee. Larry has been a tremendous value to NFI's Board. Cannot be overstated.
His governance as a company grew into North America's leading provider of transit buses, the largest coach manufacturer in North America, and expansion internationally. I personally want to go on record and thank Larry Edwards for all of his support as I stepped into the role of chair, and I had the great pleasure of working closely with Larry Edwards over the past year as we executed on the Board Renewal Initiative and the CEO Transition. Katherine Winter served on the board for seven years. Having originally joined in 2019, Cathy played a significant role in providing technological insights for the NFI team as they invested in new products and expanded the product portfolio. Cathy was also a member of our Operations and Technology Committee and brought a wealth of knowledge from her long career in the mobility sector.
Both Larry and Katherine were valued directors. On behalf of the board and management, I would like to thank them for their contributions, dedication, and leadership and wish them both continued success in all of their future endeavors. Going to slide 7, as a component of our board renewal strategy, Daniel Barclay and John Scannell were appointed to the board in 2026 and have been nominated to continue to serve as independent directors. Dan brings us 33 years of capital markets experience to NFI's board, which will be extremely valuable as we continue to focus on capital structure and capital allocation in the years ahead. Dan was most recently CEO of BMO Capital Markets, where he was responsible for the bank's interactions with corporate, government, and institutional clients, investment, corporate banking, and global trading needs. John Scannell brings decades of complex manufacturing experience to NFI's board.
Having worked with Moog Inc. since 1990, he helped to champion their growth into a global designer of precision motion control, fluid controls, and other control systems for the aerospace, defense, and medical industries. John held numerous positions with increasing responsibility at Moog, ultimately retiring as their CEO in 2023, a position he held since 2014. We are very excited to have both Daniel Barclay and John on our board of directors. They bring specific expertise that makes our board stronger and will help management as NFI continues to deliver upon its strategy and growth plans. Turning to slide 8, we will now proceed with the formal portion of today's meeting. On behalf of the board, I wish to express thanks to those shareholders who have submitted their proxies in advance.
Only shareholders or their proxies are entitled to vote electronically or in person at this meeting. To make best use of our time, I will move and second the proposals which are called for in the notice of the meeting. The meeting will now come to order. I shall ask Mr. Colin Pewarchuk, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary of the Corporation, to act as Secretary of the meeting and Lesley Anne Alano of Computershare Investor Services Inc., the transfer agent of the Corporation's common shares, to act as scrutineer. Notice calling the meeting was mailed to shareholders on April 2nd, 2026, and we have received confirmation from the Corporation's transfer agent as to its mailing.
Just prior to the start of the meeting, I received a copy of the preliminary scrutineer's report on attendance. There are at least two shareholders holding 67,492,099 common shares represented in person or by proxy at this meeting. This represents approximately 57% of our outstanding common shares as of the record date. I have been advised by the scrutineer that a quorum of shareholders is present. I now declare that the meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. The first item of business is the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of NFI Group Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 28th, 2025, and the auditor's report therein.
A copy of the financial statements, together with management's discussion and analysis of operating results and auditor's report, were included in the corporation's annual report, which has been mailed to shareholders who requested copies and is available on the NFI Group's website. NFI's consolidated financial statements and auditor's report are hereby tabled for purposes of this meeting, and no further action is required. We will now proceed to the appointment of auditors and the authorization of the directors to fix their remuneration. I move and second that Deloitte LLP be appointed auditors of the corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, and that the directors be authorized to fix their remuneration. You have all heard the motion. All in favor, please raise your hands. Contrary, if any. Thank you. The next item of business is the election of directors.
10 directors are to be elected, and information regarding the proposed nominees is set out in the information circular prepared in connection with the meeting. I have pleasure of nominating Aziz Aghili, Daniel Barclay, Adam Gray, Paulo Nunes, Anne-Marie O'Donovan, Colin Robertson, Maryse Saint-Laurent, John Sapp, John Scannell, and Jannet Walker-Ford as directors of the corporation to hold office until the next meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and appointed. The corporation's amended and restated advanced notice bylaws provide that nominations of directors by shareholders must be received by the corporation at least 30 days in advance of the meeting in order to be valid. As no such nominations were received by the corporation prior to the deadline, the nominations are closed.
In accordance with the corporation's majority voting policy, for a nominee to be elected and remain as a director, they must receive no less than a majority of the votes cast in favor of their election. Based on the number of votes cast by proxy in advance of the meeting, in respect of each nominee, I can report that all of the nominees have received a majority of votes cast for their election. Therefore, I now declare that they have been duly elected directors of the corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed.
The next item of business is to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass an ordinary resolution in the form set out in Exhibit A to the management information circular to continue, amend, or restate the Fourth Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement dated May 4th, 2023, between the Corporation and Computershare Investor Services Inc. as rights agent. The rights plan is designed to provide the board of directors with additional time to assess an unsolicited takeover bid for the Corporation and, where appropriate, to give the board additional time to pursue alternatives for maximizing shareholder value. The rights plan is also designed to encourage fair treatment of all shareholders and to encourage a potential acquirer to proceed by way of a permitted bid, which requires the takeover bid to satisfy specified minimum standards designed to promote fairness.
The rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific proposal to acquire control of the corporation, nor is the board currently aware of any pending or threatened takeover bid for the corporation. To be effective, the resolution must be approved by a majority of votes cast by shareholders represented today and entitled to vote at the meeting. If the resolution is approved, the Corporation and Computershare Investor Services Inc., as rights agent, will enter into the Fifth Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement to take effect today. I move and second that the resolution with respect to the continuation, amendment, and restatement of the Fourth Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement of NFI Group Inc in the form set out in Exhibit A to the management information circular be passed as an ordinary resolution of the corporation. You have all heard the motion.
All in favor, please raise your hands. Thank you. Contrary, if any. Thank you. The last item of business is the approval on an advisory basis of the corporation's approach to executive compensation. I move and second to approve on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the directors that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the management information circular. You have all heard the motion. All in favor, please raise your hands. Thank you. Contrary, if any. Well, were you just a bit late in raising your hand or you're contrarian? Thank you. Unless there are any questions, we will now allow for some time for voting by those shareholders and proxy holders who are attending the meeting virtually. As I mentioned earlier, voting in the virtual meeting will be conducted by electronic ballot.
Polls are open, and registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders who have properly logged in with their control number or invite code, as applicable, and wish to vote, will be able to see on the screen all motions being brought forth at this meeting. Please register your votes. We will provide approximately one minute to complete the electronic ballots. Once the electronic balloting closes, the voting page will disappear, and your votes will automatically be submitted. Thank you for casting your votes on these matters. The polls are now closed. I have been advised by the scrutineers that based on the ballots and proxies deposited for the meeting and the preliminary results of voting, all motions have been voted in favor, and thus I declare all motions carried. The final voting results will be available after the meeting and posted on SEDAR.
I beg your pardon. The formal items of business as set out in the notice of this meeting have now been dealt with. As there is no further business to be brought before the meeting, I move and second that the meeting now terminate. I now declare the meeting terminated. Now that the formal part of the meeting is concluded, I will turn things over to Stephen King, who will start the management presentation. Thank you.
Well, thank you, Colin, for that. Thanks everyone for voting online and in person. A reminder to all participants that we do want to take your questions, and we appreciate you coming in attendance and being here live and being here virtually. For those that are in the room, if you have a question after John's presentation, please just raise your hand and we have a microphone that we'll walk around and provide to various folks. Online, at the end of the presentation, please note virtual questions can be submitted using the instant messaging service of the virtual meeting interface. In order to ask a question, please click on the Q&A icon and type your question to management. We will read the questions aloud here in the room and respond following John's presentations.
We will continue moving the slides via the webcast link, and we'll also call out the accompanying slide numbers as we progress. John Sapp, our President and CEO, and a new Winnipegger very recently, will now give us management's presentation. Like I said, we will take your questions after the conclusion of the presentation.
Thank you, Stephen. Thanks, Colin. I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you here that are present in the room beforehand, and several here just this morning. Look forward to shaking some more hands here after the meeting. I have to first start with the cautionary statement. I would encourage everyone to have a look at this. It's included in the materials just to ensure you understand the context of the information that we're gonna share. If you flip to the next page, I wanna talk a little bit about where we're at overall as a group. I wanna first express just how much I appreciate being here now in this seat.
It is a true privilege to become the new CEO of NFI Group and to take the baton from Paul Soubry and to help with this great management team to lead this business to what will be terrific growth here as we go forward. That growth is gonna be based on a long legacy of high quality production and buses that we have put out into the market for decades, and that's true across our entire portfolio. We have 100,000 units as an installed base. When you consider what that means in terms of customers, their dependence on us, the safety that we provide in terms of enabling safe connections of their customers, our role in the community, and as we go forward, is and will continue to be very significant.
You can see that stretches across 13 countries. We have 44 facilities globally and over 9,000 employees. If you flip to the next page, that takes us, I believe, to number 19 for online, for Stephen's just direction there. I want to talk a little bit more then about our product types. We are what we consider call propulsion agnostic, meaning that we use and can, as a strategy, we can install just about every type, actually every type of propulsion type that is out there. Whether or not that's your legacy diesel type product, all the way up to the latest EV variants, we have the ability in turn to meet just about every customer's expectation as it relates to propulsion solutions. That has been a, certainly a great enabler for us.
It also means that we've got a number of different products, over 60+ . You can see that that 100K install base has translated to a whole lot of mileage as well. The revenue by group, you can also see predominantly North America is where most of our work is done. 15%, however, in the U.K., a small percentage as well in Asia Pac. Across products, where we do everything from the coach, those high-end coaches that you ride, to the transit buses, all the way down to the ARBOC solutions that a couple of shareholders were asking me about earlier, which are more on the short and medium duty cycle bus. If you flip to the next page, you can tell we're invested in a whole lot of things.
The areas that I would focus on are certainly as we continue to see the evolution of new propulsion types that are out there in the market and continuing to ensure that from a product standpoint that we really are leading edge. We've leaned heavily into that space. I think most recently, our most recent additions to that family of products would be within the Alexander Dennis portfolio, primarily out of the U.K., but also does have a presence internationally to include here in North America, where they released the Enviro100EV, the Enviro200EV, Enviro400EV, all of that done here in the last couple, two years. We're gonna continue to see more of those products emerge.
We're also continuing to make, of course, product evolution, inputs into the current fleet of product lines that we have. That has led to us with over a CAD 13 billion backlog across our organization. When you consider that, what we do every year, it means we have a whole lot of buses and products that we need to go deliver going forward. We're gonna do that by flipping to the next page and continuing to find ways to expand our footprint. We've achieved new milestones here in 2025 and frankly, stretching into 2026, but most of those have been around rate readiness and continuing to position our manufacturing footprint to be able to meet the long-term demands.
You can see Paul Soubry there with the Prime Minister Carney as he was touring the facilities last fall. Most recently here with our All-Canadian , which I'll talk more in a second, we actually had the ribbon cutting for it in the top right. A lot of excitement in terms of what's happening there as well as other facilities. If you flip to the next page, we have obviously some leadership changes. As I expressed earlier, I'm extremely pleased to be here in this seat and have the very big shoes to fill in Paul Soubry, who was leading this company for 17 years, give or take a month. Obviously did a terrific job in terms of growing NFI to what it is today.
I look forward to working with our great management team and board to continue on that progress. We also recently named Rob Marion as our new president of the MCI business that was shared earlier today. A terrific leader with operational background. All of those are adds as we continue to build and ensure that our succession leadership ranks are ready for the long-term and future. If you flip to the next page, the All-Canada Build opening, here's a few images of that. This is really important for us. It has increased our capacity to 5, where we'll be at additional 5 units per week coming out of that facility.
When we talk about units per week, that's a really important measure for us in terms of how we're doing around our capacity increases, of course, but also, you know, delivering on that backlog. At 5 units per week, all of those units will go to Canada as the customer. It was a upgrade to the facility down in Winnipeg, and it was in close partnership with the local and federal government. If you go to the next page, you'll see our Las Vegas expansion. This is another one that is very exciting for us as we really increase the double-decker presence in North America with the Alexander Dennis product line.
This has seen, and for those that have used the transit system around here, of course, you would see them driving around in the Toronto area, but also in the United States, where you continue to see more presence from it. That was an important investment for us, and we expect to see, you know, north of, you know, 50 units at a minimum, per year coming out of that facility. If you flip to the next page, we're also very proud of what we do in terms of our leadership and being an employer of choice.
Leadership development, employee recognition, and ensuring that as an employer that we are ones that our employee base is very appreciative of and therefore wants to continue to grow their careers with us at NFI. When you get named the Manitoba Top Employer in 2025 and in Alabama, we were the Employer of the Year for the state of Alabama for its leadership and accessibility in inclusive hiring, those are great measures for us. Certainly those are very competitive areas for us to win such an award. We also win in the market. If you go to the next page, you'll see some of the recent big wins that we've had. Every one of those agencies that you see listed at the bottom are really big and important customers for us.
Every customer is important for us. These are the ones that carry with them orders of 100 buses- 200 buses, coaches, transits. It's really important that we continue to win and serve those. For us, it's around making sure that those customers recognize we develop the best products, we deliver the highest quality, and we give them the best service. That is incredibly important for us in terms of how we go forward. If you go forward to page 27, a few things to note here. We talked a little bit here around some of the impact that we had in terms of 2025 and some of the work that the team has done relative to our, you know, debt structure and otherwise in our capital structure overall.
Last year, we actually had our first-ever high U.S. yield, that was very important for us. We've seen impressive demand overall going back into 2025, and that's continued to carry over here in terms of 2026. We continue to strengthen our balance sheet overall as a result. The final page on 28 is really around how we're focused going forward. My priorities for 2026. First and foremost, it's around our continued focus on operational excellence, making sure that we continue to increase the volumes that are needed to be able to support and deliver on the backlog. As we increase those volumes out the door, making sure that we're seeing the incremental margins, that we see that profitability continue to flow through those expanded numbers that you would expect.
Driving profitable growth through the process. We're gonna make sure that we deliver the best customer experience as noted, ensuring that our vehicles are viewed as best-in-class safety, best-in-class quality, terrific customer support. Finally, Resilient Solutions is around the resiliency of our business, as noted earlier, around our debt structure, the work that the team has done there, but also in terms of sustainability and its impact from an environmental standpoint. We obviously play a major role inherently to the type of product that we deliver, but also because of the very focused, sustainable solutions that we deliver to the market as well. Our guidance remains that, from a revenue standpoint, you can see as listed CAD 3.9 billion-CAD 4.2 billion. From an adjusted EBITDA standpoint, CAD 370 million-CAD 410 million.
From a cash CapEx standpoint, between CAD 50 million-CAD 60 million. As we shared on the earnings call earlier today, our confidence in delivering on these guidance numbers continues to improve as we continue to see improvements in terms of operations, improvements in terms of our supply chain and rate readiness. Overall, our confidence here is high. With that brings to a close the management presentation that I wanted to share, but we're gonna open it up to see any questions that you all may have in the room or as Stephen noted through the online. Any questions? Yes, sir. In the back.
First, did I hear correctly that there's a shareholder that owns 65% of the shares?
Yeah. The question is if there's a shareholder that owns 65% of the shares. Stephen, do you want to expand on that? There is not, but we'll let Stephen talk through some of the details of that question.
Sure. That's really just the proxy process and the proxy process that happens. Our largest shareholder is Coliseum Capital. They're a 21% shareholder, and our second largest is Marcop olo at 8.1%. That's really just how it gets treated kind of for the voting process through the formal part of the management meeting. They get consolidated into that 65%, and that's represented by the proxy process. Does that help answer your question? No, no. Sorry. Yeah. It does, definitely does matter how you vote. That's just how we consolidate it for proxy purposes, for the actual voting process that we go through. The largest shareholder, again, would have 21% of the votes that are outstanding. Your vote definitely does count.
You know, hopefully, you were able to vote before the meeting, online or through the mail.
Okay. That's a great question. I'll take first at it unless you want to answer it, Colin. Well, what I would say, a couple things, sir. First off, thanks for that. For those online that couldn't hear the question, there was a concern over the compensation overall from an executive standpoint in terms of where that sits with the company and is it reflective of I'm paraphrasing, sir, so I think I'll capture it. Is it reflective of what the business has generated relative to profits for the company as we've gone forward, and then also a concern around unemployment rates.
What I would say first on the first point is, you know, certainly, and I'll talk within Canada because I'll assume, sir, that's where the message is from relative to unemployment. We certainly are a very proud Canadian employer, and I think that that reference to us being an employer of the year in 2025 in Manitoba is reflective of what we're doing, not only in the community, but also to ensure that we are being good stewards relative to employment, ensure that we do all that we can to grow and to continue to grow. Our focus is on that for sure. Earlier today, we shared where we're at in terms of the quarter, and I wanna reflect on your point around earnings and how we've done with that.
I would say as you go back, really over the last 12 months and you look at our last 12 months trailing, you'll see that we've generated considerable amount of EBITDA to the business, or sorry, to the company. Subsequently here, this quarter, in terms of year-over-year, we saw 37% increase from a profitability standpoint. We are, without question, extremely focused on driving the profitability point that you raised and to ensure that that's delivering. I can't speak to your experiences for the past, but I will tell you this is a high area of focus for us as we go forward. Relative to executive compensation, of course, the executive team's comp is very much tied to actually generating exactly what you said, which is profit.
When that doesn't come through, then of course our team does not then benefit from that. The other thing I would note too is, of course, is that we also wanna ensure that we go outside to evaluate the compensation of this company and ensure that it is actually based on what are the practices that are outside in the market.
Thank you for your question. From a board chair and from a board standpoint, sir, I would just like to make it clear that executive compensation is a matter for the board, and it is important for us that we can attract and retain top talent. In order to do that, we make sure that we work. We have an outstanding HR compensation and corporate governance board committee that also takes input from specific, you know, excellent consultants that are subject matter experts in that compensation world. Everything in terms of reward and remuneration is underpinned by alignment, is underpinned by our team delivering profitable growth for our company and ensuring that they steward our company to be a company that provides better products for our markets, better place for our employees to work as well.
These guys don't mark their own homework. We have a very structured framework to make sure that we take best-in-class compensation from information from consultants. We review it as a board and then put into place the appropriate compensation plans for management. There can be no doubt that over, you know, particularly the COVID years, there can be no doubt that COVID was, I'll call it a fickle mistress. Some businesses did incredibly well through COVID and subsequent supply chain related times. NFI Group, any business in the transportation world was severely impacted.
Over the last three years, stewarding this company through very choppy seas at a time when many of our competitors ceased to exist today, and at a time where we invested in products to underpin a CAD 13 billion backlog, profitable backlog in our bus business and to continue to grow every other segment. You know, you won't always get the top of the tops all of the time. John has spoken about, you know, year-over-year revenue growth and underlying profitability growth and a sense of confidence and expectation for the years ahead. I hope that answers your question.
Any other questions?
Double-decker buses . Both the demand side, where do you see that going? On the supply side, your Alexander Dennis subsidiary has just shrunk and stopping. I'm just wondering where you're going to source it. It's possibly in Canada or whatever you have on the supply side.
Yeah, that's again, a great question. Thank you for that. Certainly, in terms of the U.K., Alexander Dennis in terms of growth, we actually expect to see more volume here this year. We have done some things around our capacity to ensure that it is, you know, right-sized for the long term. That would have been some of what you've seen. You know, certainly we continue to see Alexander Dennis overall as a business, continuing to benefit from the position it has, albeit in a highly competitive market there in the U.K. On the U.S. front, it's really exciting to see where those different metro areas are that are interested in double-decker. It is a different solution than, sorry, not U.S., you mean North America, right? In North America.
You obviously see a high degree of introduction of. I think yesterday I was over at the Metrolinx site and looking to see what they were doing relative to all the repair work, and I think they're on order of 250, I think, that are, roughly speaking, that are driving around in this, the greater Toronto area, which is pretty great. We're building those out of Las Vegas currently. We are drawing from a supply base that goes all across North America to be able to support it. Of course, we're looking for opportunities not only to, for those to be sold into, to the U.S., but also in Canada.
We have a very integrated overall supply chain, so in within North America, between Canada and the U.S., and we would really leverage it, I think, to the most we can possibly get from it. Yeah, great question. Any others? Okay. Thank you, all. Anything? Stephen, you wanna close this out?
Well, look, thanks John for that and thanks everybody for your questions. We really do appreciate them. At any time, please do don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our contact information is on our website, so you can get it at investorrelations@nfigroup.com. Thank you again for attending, and we do encourage you to mingle and mix with the management team and the directors that are here in attendance before you leave today. Thanks again, and that concludes our meeting. Thanks. No questions online, I guess. Okay. Should've checked that earlier. No questions online, so now we're completely done. Thanks everybody for coming. Thanks.
