iFabric Corp Reports Record Revenue and Earnings for Q1 2026
Highest In Company History at $27.5 Million, Up 288% or $20.4 Million From Prior Year
MARKHAM, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / iFabric Corp. (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF), a leader in innovative textile and performance-apparel technologies, today announced record revenues and earnings for its first quarter ending March 31, 2026 ("Q1").
Revenue for Q1 of $27,502,695, up 288% over Q1 2025. An increase of $20,422,255. By far a new record quarter for the company.
Q1 Revenue for Intelligent Fabric (IFTNA) Division of $23,600,247, up 305% over Q1 2025. An increase of $17,775,796.
Q1 Revenue for Coconut Grove Division of $3,902,448, up 212% over Q1 2025. An increase of $2,651,709.
Adjusted EBIDTA for Q1 of $5,733,393. An increase of $5,414,915 over $318,478 in Q1 2025.
The exceptional results were driven by a combination of expanding market opportunities and sustained organic growth across the company's core product lines. Retail partners have continued to encourage iFabric to broaden its presence into new categories and channels with them, opening the door to incremental revenue streams while reinforcing long-standing relationships. Standout drivers of revenue growth in Q1 were new medical apparel (scrubs) and footwear programs announced over recent months, followed by the results of the rebranding of intimate apparel product lines.
At the same time, the company's core product portfolio delivered robust performance, benefiting from increased store count penetration and stronger consumer demand. This dual engine of growth-new market entry alongside deeper retail integration-has positioned iFabric for continued momentum.
"This quarter reflects both the strength of our innovation pipeline and the confidence our retail partners have in our ability to execute," said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric Corp. "We are capitalizing on new customer and product-line opportunities while continuing to scale our established core business, and the results speak for themselves," concluded Hylton Karon.
Management noted that the company remains focused on leveraging its operational capabilities to support further expansion, while maintaining disciplined execution to sustain profitability.
With a growing footprint across retail channels and an expanding suite of product offerings, iFabric is well-positioned to build on this record-setting performance in the quarters ahead.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 (Q1):
Total revenues of $27,502,695 in Q1 compared to $7,080,440 in Q1 2025, representing an increase of $20,422,255 or 288%.
Revenues for the Intelligent Fabrics Division were $23,600,247 in Q1, representing an increase of $17,775,796 or 305%, from $5,824,451 in Q1 2025. These revenue gains comprised increased apparel sales in Canada and the US, as a result of new and expanded existing programs. In particular, the new product launches of the segment's first major scrubs and footwear programs.
Revenues for the Intimate Apparel Division were $3,902,448 in Q1, representing an increase of $2,651,709 or 212% from $1,250,739 in Q1 2025. The increase in Intimate Apparel revenue in 2026 versus 2025 was primarily attributable to increased intimate apparel sales in the US, resulting from the launch of the Division's own brand Nudish™, at major retailers, following the expiry of its Maidenform® license on December 31, 2025. This new brand targets a younger demographic, whereas products marketed under the prior Maidenform® license targeted an older demographic and were declining in sales. This new brand is no longer restricted in product categories, which should result in increased opportunities to grow future revenues of the Division.
Gross profit dollars amounted to $8,952,217 in Q1, representing an increase of $6,212,763 or 227% from $2,739,454 in Q1 2025
Gross profit margins decreased by 6% to 33% in Q1 compared 39% in Q1 2025, primarily due to the product mix for the quarter, with a higher proportion of lower margin products being shipped in the current quarter, particularly with regards to the Intelligent Fabrics Division. Increased tariffs in the US, on goods imported from China were an additional contributing factor to the margin decrease. The Company has initiated a process to recover approximately $850,000 in IEEPA tariffs paid by it on goods imported into the US from China to the date that these tariffs no longer applied and were deemed refundable. The recovery of the amount claimed is contingent on the US Administration continuing to honor its commitment to refund such tariffs. The company will recognize in income, any amounts subsequently recovered, as and when funds are received.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $1,461,833 (61%) to $3,862,751 in Q1 compared to $2,400,918 in Q1 2025, mainly as a result of increased variable selling costs comprising royalties and commissions relating to the increased sales, as well as increased personnel, advertising and travel costs incurred to support future business initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA (*note) for Q1 amounted to $5,733,393 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $318,478 in Q1 2025, representing an increase of $5,414,915
Net earnings after tax during Q1 amounted to $3,710,214 ($0.122 per share, basic and diluted) up from $88,458 ($0.003 per share, basic and diluted) in Q1 2025, an increase of $3,621,756.
The Company's adjusted working capital (working capital adjusted to exclude a term loan of $3,626,653, classified as current under IFRS) was $23,758,324 as at March 31, 2026, compared to working capital of $19,127,409 at the end of the previous quarter, an increase of $4,630,915, mainly attributable to the net earnings for the current quarter.
Cash decreased by $2,022,335 to $1,760,999 at March 31, 2026, from $3,783,334 at December 31, 2025, as a result of further investments into inventory.

*USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, are not considered generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Where non-GAAP measures or terms are used, definitions are provided. The Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. In this document and in the Company's consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, all financial data is prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance and earnings without the effects of (as applicable): current and deferred tax expense, finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of plant assets, other gains and losses, impairment loss, share-based compensation and other non-recurring items. The Company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and may not optimally represent its operating performance and earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be representative of net earnings from operations or an alternative measure to cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
