## Cross-quarter narrative

Across eight quarterly CallCards, SGC’s top‑line has swung from a 10% YoY rise in Q3 2024 to modest declines in Q4 2024 and Q3 2025, then returned to modest growth through Q4 2025 and into FY 2026, with revenue expanding 1‑3% YoY in the most recent quarters. Early margin pressure from Haiti‑related costs and a mixed product mix in Q4 2024 gave way to expanding Branded‑Products margins in Q1 2026 and a 27% EBITDA lift in Q2 2026. Macro‑economic uncertainty and customer hesitancy are repeatedly flagged, while tariff volatility remains a concern for the Branded‑Products pipeline. The company has maintained an active share‑repurchase program and continued modest SG&A investment, while cost‑saving initiatives (e.g., $4 M SG&A reduction) and AI‑driven contact‑center efficiencies have been highlighted. Milestones such as the contact‑center sales‑force build‑out, technology rollout, and targeted acquisitions remain in progress, with several already delivered. Overall, the narrative shows a firm navigating a volatile macro backdrop, gradually improving operational efficiency, and keeping strategic initiatives on track despite lingering external risks.
