ACCESS NewswireTORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / Route1 Inc. ("Route1" or the "Company") (TSXV:ROI), a provider of technology-enabled services focused on parking operations, public safety, and mobility, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.Q1 2026 represented another important operational quarter for Route1 as the Company continued executing against its long-term strategy of expanding recurring operational engagement, operational intelligence capabilities, and lifecycle customer relationships.During the quarter, Route1 continued expanding Route1 ABI-related discussions within existing customer environments, launched "Mr. Parking", and continued strengthening its positioning around operational accountability, workflow intelligence, and AI-assisted operational support.Q1 2026 HighlightsRevenue increased 15% year-over-year to $2.57 million, primarily driven by increased device and appliance revenue.Within services revenue, recurring technology life-cycle maintenance and support revenue continued increasing year-over-year, partially offset by lower transactional professional-services activity.Operating loss improved materially to ($0.05) million compared to ($0.40) million in Q1 2025Positive operating cash flow generated during the quarterAnnualized recurring revenue reached approximately USD $1.346 million as at March 31, 2026Continued support-plan expansion and lifecycle operational engagement activity across municipal and university customer environmentsExpanded operational visibility and Route1 ABI discussions within existing customer relationshipsLaunched "Mr. Parking" in April 2026 as part of Route1's evolving operational-intelligence and workflow-orchestration strategyQ1 2026 CommentaryRevenue during Q1 2026 was $2.57 million compared to $2.23 million during Q1 2025.Consistent with prior periods, device, appliance and deployment-related revenue continued fluctuating based on customer deployment timing and project activity. At the same time, Route1 continued seeing increased customer engagement around recurring operational support, operational visibility, workflow accountability, and lifecycle operational engagement.The Company continues to see evidence that operators increasingly value measurable operational performance, operational responsiveness, workflow visibility, and long-term operational accountability in addition to traditional infrastructure deployment.Q1 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTSStatement of Operations

Route1 ABI started adding revenue in Q2-25.Operational Accountability and Workflow VisibilityDuring Q1 2026 and early Q2 2026, legislative developments and operational reviews across multiple jurisdictions, including Washington State, continued to reinforce management's view that the parking and mobility market is increasingly evolving toward operational accountability, workflow visibility, governance, and measurable operational outcomes.Management believes this trend increasingly supports Route1's positioning around:Lifecycle operational engagementOperational intelligenceWorkflow orchestrationOperational visibilityAI-assisted operational supportCommercial Expansion ActivityDuring Q1 2026 and early Q2 2026, the Company continued progressing multiple operational expansion and operational-visibility discussions involving:Municipal environmentsUniversitiesEnterprise mobility environmentsAutonomous parking-enforcement opportunitiesExamples of active commercial and operational expansion activity currently include:Washington regional operational expansion activityEnterprise mobility discussionsAutonomous parking-enforcement discussionsRoute1 ABI operational-visibility opportunitiesLifecycle operational modernization discussionsIntellectual Property and AI StrategyRoute1 continues advancing its intellectual property strategy around operational intelligence, AI-assisted workflow orchestration, and parking operations performance management.In December 2025, Route1 filed a provisional patent application related to low-latency machine learning, scalable agentic AI coordination, and adaptive learning architecture. In February 2026, the Company filed a patent application related to its parking copilot technology framework, including structured intelligence and operational performance management for ALPR programs.Management believes these filings support Route1's long-term strategy of protecting differentiated workflow intelligence, operational automation, and AI-assisted parking operations capabilities.The Company does not view artificial intelligence as a standalone product category. Route1's strategy is to apply AI directly inside operational workflows where it can improve visibility, accountability, enforcement performance, and recurring lifecycle engagement.Working Capital and Debt Analysis

Route1 Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Results and Continued Transition Toward Recurring, Lifecycle-Based RevenueApril 30, 2026 1:15 AM
ACCESS NewswireTORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 30, 2026 / Route1 Inc . ("Route1" or the "Company") (TSXV:ROI), a provider of technology-enabled services focused on parking operations, public safety, and mobility, today announced its financial results for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025.Fiscal 2025 was a transition year. The Company focused on reducing reliance on one-time project activity and building a model based on recurring support, software licensing, operational engagement, and account expansion. Early results of this transition are beginning to appear in customer engagement, support contract growth, and demand for Route1's operational improvement capabilities.Fiscal 2025 and Q4 HighlightsExpanded deployment of Route1 ABI and introduced "Mr. Parking" in response to increasing demand for operational performance and accountability within customer environmentsGrew quarterly ALPR support contract revenue to exceed USD $310,000, representing annualized recurring revenue of approximately USD $1.25 millionContinued growth in ALPR end users and average support contract valueExpanded Route1's role within customer environments beyond deployment into ongoing operational performanceMonetized employee retention credits totaling USD $549,000 for fiscal 2025Completed a non-brokered private placement generating gross proceeds of approximately $328,000Q4 2025 CommentaryRevenue in Q4 2025 was $2.6 million compared to $3.9 million in Q4 2024, reflecting variability in device and project-based activity.Consistent with prior periods, hardware and project revenue continued to fluctuate based on timing of customer deployments. In contrast, the Company's support and services revenue remained more stable and is increasingly reflective of its long-term operating model.Route1 continues to prioritize expansion of recurring revenue within its existing customer base, focusing on increasing the scope and value of each customer relationship over time rather than maximizing one-time transactional revenue. This approach reflects how customers are now engaging Route1, with increasing demand for operational improvement that extends beyond system deployment.The Company expects variability in hardware revenue to continue, while recurring support, software licensing and services revenue represents a growing portion of total revenue. This shift in revenue mix is expected to materially improve the predictability, visibility, and quality of revenue over time.The Company is already seeing this shift in customer activity, with increasing engagement beyond traditional support and deployment.Business Model and Recurring Revenue ExpansionRoute1's operating model is built on long-term lifecycle engagement rather than one-time system deployment.Within this model, the Company:Deploys and integrates ALPR infrastructureProvides ongoing support, monitoring, and maintenanceWorks directly with operators in live environmentsExpands its role over time into operational performance and decision supportThis approach shifts value from deployment activity to ongoing operational outcomes and performance accountability.The Company is also evolving its operating model to support broader deployment and partner structures designed to scale recurring revenue across multiple customer environments.This shift changes Route1's role from a system provider to an embedded participant in operational performance and outcomes."Mr. Parking" and Expansion Within Existing AccountsAs part of this evolution, Route1 introduced "Mr. Parking" in April 2026 as an operational capability deployed within existing customer engagements.The capability is deployed within existing customer relationships and is not positioned as a standalone system. Instead, it is integrated into Route1's support and operational model, where the Company maintains continuous involvement in client environments.Across the parking technology market, much of the discussion remains focused on deployment, system features and data access. Route1's view is that this framing misses the core issue. Much of the sector remains focused on system deployment, while the primary challenge in live environments is whether performance is being measured, managed, and improved over time."Mr. Parking" is designed to address this gap by enabling continuous performance management within existing environments. This reflects a broader shift in how customers are evaluating technology investments, with increased focus on measurable outcomes and return on existing infrastructure.Embedded in the Lifecycle, Not Sold as Software"Mr. Parking" is deployed within Route1's lifecycle model. It is configured to each client's environment and operates using live data generated through existing systems and workflows.It is not accessed as a standalone application. It is deployed as part of ongoing engagement, with outputs delivered directly into existing operational workflows used by supervisors, analysts, and enforcement teams.As a result, Route1's role becomes more embedded in the client's day-to-day operations, increasing the durability of the customer relationship over time.Expanding Across the OperationInitial deployment of "Mr. Parking" is focused on enforcement and patrol operations. However, the underlying framework is designed to extend across additional operational areas including:Violation processing workflowsCustomer communication and response managementOther back-office and administrative functionsAs these applications are introduced, the capability is expanded within the same customer relationship, further embedding Route1 within the client's operating environment and increasing the value of each customer relationship and expanding recurring revenue over time.Market Context: From Deployment to PerformanceAcross North America, ALPR deployment is largely complete and the remaining challenge is operational performance. This shift is increasingly driven by governance, compliance, and accountability requirements within customer environments, where operators are expected to demonstrate measurable outcomes rather than simply deploying technology.Route1's direct engagement in live environments continues to show:Variability in enforcement outputMissed revenue opportunitiesLimited ability to measure and defend outcomesThese conditions reinforce a consistent conclusion: deployment alone does not improve operations. In many cases, performance degrades after systems go live. Q4 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTSStatement of operationsIn 000s of CAD dollars Q4

Company management subscribed for Units under the Offering for a total of $68,000, representing approximately 21% of the Offering.Each Unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of 18 months from the issue date of the Units. All securities issued pursuant to the offering were subject to a four-month hold period that has now expired.The Company is using the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the development of Route1's Actionable Business Intelligence ("ABI") software application and "Mr. Parking".MONETIZING ROUTE1'S EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDITSThe Employee Retention Credit ("ERC"), also known as the Employee Retention Tax Credit ("ERTC"), was designed to help businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The overall goal of the program was to encourage employers to retain employees during pandemic-related business shutdowns and slowdowns.First introduced in March 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the ERC has been updated twice since its original creation. In November 2021, the ERC program expired early with the signing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The change limited ERC claims to wages paid before October 1, 2021, except for recovery startup businesses. Businesses were able to retroactively claim ERC by amending their 2020 or 2021 tax returns, meaning employers were able to claim the credit for actions during the pandemic on their tax returns up until the year 2024.With the help of a third-party professional to assist in its submission, Route1 filed ERCs in the amount of USD $1,320,002. The credits were for Route1's wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries Route 1 Security Corporation, Group Mobile Int'l, LLC ("GMI") and Portable Computer Systems, Inc. ("PCS") relating to wages paid to employees between April 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021.On June 18, 2025, Route1 sold USD $467,030 of its ERCs (the "First ERC Claim") to a private equity fund. Route1 received payment of USD $179,807 and subject to the US government paying out the First ERC Claim, will receive an additional USD $65,384. The private equity fund purchased the First ERC Claim at a discount to the face value and required an additional amount to be held back until the First ERC Claim is paid out by the US government. Route1 also incurred professional fees to complete the transaction. In certain circumstances, including situations in which the Internal Revenue Service disallows some or all of Route1's ERC claims, the private equity fund may cause Route1 to refund the proceeds paid. Should that occur, some or all of the professional fees incurred will also be reimbursed.On August 8, 2025, Route1 sold USD $468,802 of its ERCs (the "Second ERC Claim Amount") to a private equity fund. Route1 received payment of USD $167,836 and subject to the US government paying out the ERC Claim Amount, will receive an additional USD $58,122. The private equity fund purchased the Second ERC Claim Amount at a discount to the face value and required an additional amount to be held back until the Second ERC Claim Amount is paid out by the US government. Route1 also incurred professional fees to complete the transaction.FINANCIAL REPORTING UPDATERoute1 does not intend to host a shareholder call in connection with its year-end results.The Company expects to host a shareholder call in mid-May 2026 following the release of its first quarter 2026 financial results. Management expects to provide additional commentary at that time regarding operational progress and early observations following the launch of "Mr. Parking."About Route1 Inc.Route1 provides operational intelligence and secure data solutions for public sector and critical infrastructure operators.

Route1 Announces Filing of Parking Copilot Patent Application and Confirms Expected Launch Date for "Mr. Parking"March 18, 2026 9:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireTORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Route1 Inc. ("Route1" or the "Company") (TSXV:ROI), a provider of operational intelligence solutions for public sector and critical infrastructure operators, today announced that it has filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office related to the Company's parking copilot technology framework.The patent application, U.S. Application No. 19/552,368, filed on February 27, 2026, covers elements of Route1's approach to structured intelligence and operational performance management for automated license plate recognition ("ALPR") programs.The Company also confirmed that development of "Mr. Parking," an operational copilot capability within the Route1 ABI platform, remains on track for launch on or around April 21, 2026, subject to final development and testing.Market ContextAcross North America, municipalities, universities and operators continue to deploy ALPR technology to support parking enforcement, public safety and mobility initiatives. However, most organizations lack the ability to measure, manage, or defend operational performance once systems are live. Leadership teams are increasingly being asked to explain not only how ALPR is used, but whether it is producing consistent, measurable outcomes and operating within defined governance frameworks. In many cases, those questions cannot be answered with confidence.These trends are increasing demand for operational intelligence platforms that help organizations move beyond simple data access toward structured program oversight and performance management.Route1 ABI Platform and Parking CopilotRoute1's ABI platform provides structured intelligence designed to help operators measure, monitor, and improve ALPR program performance.The platform enables organizations to:Measure patrol and enforcement performance.Identify operational gaps and coverage inefficiencies.Monitor activity and outcomes over time.Support governance and defensibility requirements.This addresses a gap in the market where deployment has outpaced operational management capability."Mr. Parking" is being developed as an operator copilot capability within the Route1 ABI platform designed to assist organizations in continuously improving ALPR operations.The platform is vendor-agnostic and designed to work with major ALPR environments currently deployed across the market, including Genetec, Motorola Solutions Vigilant, TagMaster and other industry systems.Route1 currently supports ALPR deployments across municipal parking, public safety and private operator environments.Operational ValidationRoute1 is currently engaged in active deployments and pilots with municipalities and universities.Early-stage observations from these engagements indicate:Variability in officer-level enforcement performance.Missed enforceable events within existing patrol operations.Opportunity to improve coverage and outcomes without additional infrastructure.These observations reinforce a consistent conclusion: deployment alone does not result in operational improvement.CEO Commentary"ALPR deployment is no longer the challenge. Most programs are already live," said Tony Busseri, Chief Executive Officer of Route1. "The challenge is that very few organizations can measure or manage performance once deployed. Leadership teams are being asked to defend outcomes, not activity. ABI provides that intelligence layer, and ‘Mr. Parking' is being designed to help operators actively manage and improve their programs over time."About Route1 Inc.Route1 provides operational intelligence and secure data solutions for public sector and critical infrastructure operators. The Company's ABI platform supports structured intelligence and operational improvement initiatives across mobility, parking enforcement, public safety and smart infrastructure environments. Route1 trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ROI.For More Information, Contact:

Route1 Announces Successful Completion of U.S. Navy Reserve DEFIMNET® Pilot Project
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 30, 2010) - Route1 Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ROI) ("Route1" or the "Company"), a digital security and identity management company, today announced the successful completion of the pilot project to deploy the Company's DEFIMNET® platform, TruOFFICE® application software, and MobiKEY Fusion™ devices to the U.S. Navy Reserve Forces Command ("RESFOR"). The MobiKEY Fusion™ device is based on the Giesecke & Devrient StarSign Mobility Token. The project was first announced on March 2, 2010.
The pilot successfully demonstrated increased flexibility for RESFOR personnel who require secure access to internal systems and digital resources when physical access to their normal working facilities and equipment is not possible or practical. There were multiple test scenarios including the ability to access the Navy Marine Corps Intranet ("NMCI") systems and resources from multiple remote locations. Participants used their MobiKEY Fusion™ device from hotels, WIFI hotspots including at 37,000 feet on a commercial airliner, libraries, home and commercial networks.
According to feedback from RESFOR, the pilot project's outcome exceeded expectations.
"The very positive result of this pilot project is a significant step forward for Route1. It strengthens our relationships with the U.S. military and demonstrates the effectiveness of our platforms, software and devices anywhere where high assurance remote access is needed," said Tony Busseri, President and Chief Executive Officer, Route1 Inc. "We look forward to finalizing the terms of procurement with RESFOR, and the Navy as an enterprise, for the use of Route1's solution in a working environment."
"Giesecke & Devrient helps its customers and partners secure their applications by offering a broad portfolio of security solutions. The Mobility Token technology provides a secure remote platform for mobile users. It also corresponds to the stringent demand of the U.S. Navy for their reserve personnel," said Dr. Kai Grassie, Group Senior Vice President and Head of New Business Division of Giesecke & Devrient GmbH in Munich.
The Navy's Designated Accrediting Authority has completed its review of the DEFIMNET® platform and earlier this month provided an interim authority to test ("IATT") for the DEFIMNET® platform. The DEFIMNET® platform has since then been connected to NMCI and a group of RESFOR participants have conducted the pilot project. The RESFOR pilot included the implementation, accreditation for IATT, and deployment on the NMCI network of Route1's DEFIMNET® platform at a U.S. Navy Operations Center. The DEFIMNET® platform is currently configured for 2,500 concurrent users and is scalable to meet the more than 300,000 potential DEFIMNET® users that have been identified within the U.S. Navy.
The Route1 DEFIMNET® platform is an information assurance and service delivery platform that enables high-security remote access to enterprise networks. It is designed to reside within all levels of classified and unclassified networks. Built on a foundation of information assurance through identity management and encryption, the DEFIMNET® platform allows entitlement-based access to resources, such as C4ISR systems, from anywhere and at any time. Personnel are authenticated by the DEFIMNET® platform using their MobiKEY Fusion™ device that supports U.S. Department of Defense-issued common access cards ("CAC").
Route1 TruOFFICE® is secure remote access application software. It uses identity management and entitlement-based access to reliably connect remote users to their workspace (office computer, desktop and digital applications) from any location in the world.
MobiKEY Fusion™ is an identity validation device that supports identity cards such as a CAC. This multi-factor authentication device combines physical possession of the MobiKEY™ and an identity card, with computer and network access. The Route1 MobiKEY Fusion™ device offers all the security features of the Route1 MobiKEY Classic™ device with added factors of authentication to simplify the access component while Route1's MobiNET® or DEFIMNET® platform universally manages the identities of users and entitlement to digital resources. Users can only access systems with a combination of their MobiKEY Fusion™ device, identity or access card and secret password or PIN.
