NewsfileRichmond Hill, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2026) - VIQ Solutions Inc. (TSXV: VQS) ("VIQ Solutions" or the "Company") today provided an update on its Australian division, consisting of VIQ Australia Pty Ltd, VIQ Solutions Pty Ltd, VIQ Solutions Australia Pty Ltd, VIQ Pty Ltd and VIQ Australia Services Pty Ltd ("VIQ Australia"), which was placed into voluntary administration pursuant to Part 5.3A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia) (the "Corporations Act") in March 2026 (the "Voluntary Administration"). At the commencement of the Voluntary Administration, Robert Smith and Keith Crawford of McGrathNicol (the "Administrators") engaged with key stakeholders of VIQ Australia to establish continuity of vital services. Once the business was stabilized, on March 20, 2026, the Administrators commenced a fulsome and robust process to seek the sale or recapitalization of VIQ Australia. The Company has now received notice from the Administrators that the sale or recapitalization process related to VIQ Australia was unsuccessful and that the Administrators will begin taking steps to conduct an orderly wind down of the VIQ Australia business. The Company does not anticipate receiving any proceeds from the administration of VIQ Australia. While the Voluntary Administration process was underway, VIQ launched a significant cost reduction program including, costs associated with supporting VIQ Australia, IT, finance and other administrative and customer support areas. These cost reductions have and will continue to be implemented over the coming months. The Company continues to focus its management and capital resources on the Company's existing operations in North America and the United Kingdom, which remain the Company's highest performing business units.For more information about VIQ Solutions, please visit viqsolutions.com.

NewsfileRevenue of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily driven by higher hardware sales and the strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the prior quarter.Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up 45% versus the comparable period in 2025 (see "Non-IFRS Measures").The Company posted its eighth straight quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA underscoring consistent progress.Richmond Hill, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - VIQ Solutions Inc. (TSXV: VQS) ("VIQ" or "the Company"), a global leader in AI-powered digital documentation, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company reported continued strong margins, with its eighth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Financial Highlights Revenue: $9.8 million, up 2% from the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by higher hardware sales and the strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the prior quarter.Gross Margin: 50.8%, down from 51.9% for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the reversal of the onerous loss on a vendor contract in Q1 2025 resulting in a higher gross margin in the prior period.Adjusted EBITDA: $1.3 million, an increase of 45% from the same period in the prior year, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.Strategic and Operational HighlightsIn March 2026, the Company placed its Australian division, consisting of VIQ Australia Pty Ltd, VIQ Solutions Pty Ltd, VIQ Solutions Australia Pty Ltd, VIQ Pty Ltd and VIQ Australia Services Pty Ltd ("VIQ Australia"), into voluntary administration pursuant to Part 5.3A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia).The administrator of VIQ Australia commenced a sale process of the business in April 2026 and has received non-binding offers from interested parties. The Company expects a sale of VIQ Australia to be completed in Q2 2026.Placing VIQ Australia into voluntary administration was taken in order to focus VIQ's management and capital resources on the Company's existing operations in North America and the United Kingdom, which remain the Company's highest performing business units.For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue and adjusted EBITDA, excluding VIQ Australia, were $4.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.Management is in the process of streamlining operations in its North America and the United Kingdom business and expects to improve Adjusted EBITDA during the remainder of 2026.On May 25, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement with Beedie Capital Lending Ltd. ("Beedie"). Beedie agreed to extend the period of forbearance from April 30, 2026 to June 30, 2026. (Refer to Note 20 of the Company's unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.)Management Commentary"We are disappointed that we were unable to bring the full capability of the Company's global scalable architecture and best practices to the Australian business," said Larry Taylor, CEO of VIQ Solutions. "We are, however, encouraged by our renewed focus on the North America and the United Kingdom business and the opportunities that exist to grow revenue and EBITDA going forward."

(692,779) Non-IFRS Measures
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are provided by management to provide additional insight into our performance and financial condition. VIQ believes non-IFRS measures are an important part of the financial reporting process and are useful in communicating information that complements and supplements the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) are not measures recognized by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) please see the Company's MD&A for three months ended March 31, 2026. To evaluate the Company's operating performance as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the term "Adjusted EBITDA" refers to net income (loss) before adjusting earnings for stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, interest expense, accretion and other financing expense, (gain) loss on revaluation of restricted share units, gain (loss) on revaluation of derivative warrant liability, restructuring costs, strategic review costs, foreign exchange (gain) loss, current and deferred income tax expense. We believe that the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not connected to and do not represent the operating performance of the Company.We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed as well as expenses related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, other expense (income), and foreign exchange (gain) loss. Accordingly, we believe that this measure may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of the Company's operating performance.The term "adjusted operating income (loss)" refers to net income (loss) excluding the impact of strategic review costs. Management believes it is appropriate to adjust for this item because strategic review costs do not relate to operating activities of the Company and is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities. The presentation of this measure enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying performance of our business activities. Trademarks

Richmond Hill, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2026) - VIQ Solutions Inc. (TSXV: VQS) ("VIQ" or "the Company"), a global leader in AI-powered digital documentation, today announced financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025. The Company reported continued margin expansion, with its seventh consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 Financial Highlights Revenue: $10.6 million, which included a six-figure software license sale to an existing customer.Gross Margin: 49.0%, up from 41.9% for the same period in the prior year, driven by productivity gains and higher margin gains from software license sales.Adjusted EBITDA: $1.8 million, an increase of 264% from the same period in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Loss: $9.3 million, compared to $3.4 million from the same period in the prior year (see "Non-IFRS Measures"). Year Ended December 31, 2025 Financial Highlights Revenue: $41.5 million, a decrease of 4%, from the same period in the prior year, attributed largely to revenue reductions from late delivery fees and abatements in our Australian operations.Gross Margin: 49.1%, up from 44.5% from the same period in the prior year, driven by automation and productivity gains.Adjusted EBITDA: $5.0 million, an increase of $3.0 million or 152% from the same period in the prior year, reflecting organizational restructuring and efficiency gains.Adjusted Operating Loss: $12.8 million including a $1.2 million restructuring charge, compared to $6.8 million from the same period in the prior year due mainly to impairment of intangible assets and property and equipment in Australia.Strategic and Operational UpdatesThe Company incurred a one-time restructuring charge of $1.2 million during the year related to the significant changes in leadership and implementing global systems and process best practices.VIQ voluntarily delisted its common shares from the TSX, listed its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange and changed auditors to reduce expenses. VIQ's new TSXV listing allows additional financing options which the Company took advantage of by completing an over-subscribed insider led private placement in October and November 2025 for total proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. The Company recorded total non-cash impairment charges of $9.1 million due to expected reduced revenue growth rates as a result of data privacy incidents in the performance of Australian-based transcription services.Management Commentary"In 2025, VIQ grew Adjusted EBITDA by 152%, raised gross margins to nearly 50%, and posted its seventh straight quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA," said Larry Taylor, CEO of VIQ Solutions.

(6,847,808) Non-IFRS MeasuresThe Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are provided by management to provide additional insight into our performance and financial condition. VIQ believes non-IFRS measures are an important part of the financial reporting process and are useful in communicating information that complements and supplements the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss are not measures recognized by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss please see the Company's MD&A for three months and year ended December 31, 2025. To evaluate the Company's operating performance as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the term "Adjusted EBITDA" refers to net income (loss) before adjusting earnings for stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, interest expense, accretion, and other financing expense, (gain) loss on revaluation of options, (gain) loss on revaluation of restricted share units, gain (loss) on revaluation of derivative warrant liability, restructuring costs, strategic review costs, loss on modification of debt, impairment of property and equipment, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, other expense (income), foreign exchange (gain) loss, current and deferred income tax expense. We believe that the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not connected to and do not represent the operating performance of the Company.We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed as well as expenses related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, loss on modification or extinguishment of debt, other expense (income), and foreign exchange (gain) loss. Accordingly, we believe that this measure may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of the Company's operating performance.The term "adjusted operating loss" refers to net income (loss) excluding the impact of strategic review costs. Management believes it is appropriate to adjust this item because strategic review costs do not relate to operating activities of the Company and is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities. The presentation of this measure enables investors and analysts to better understand the underlying performance of our business activities.

VIQ Solutions Announces Voluntary Administration of Australian Subsidiaries to Focus on its North American and United Kingdom OperationsMarch 15, 2026 9:00 PM
NewsfileRichmond Hill, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2026) - VIQ Solutions Inc. (TSXV: VQS) ("VIQ Solutions" or the "Company") today announced that its Australian division, consisting of VIQ Australia Pty Ltd, VIQ Solutions Pty Ltd, VIQ Solutions Australia Pty Ltd, VIQ Pty Ltd and VIQ Australia Services Pty Ltd ("VIQ Australia"), has been placed into voluntary administration pursuant to Part 5.3A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia). VIQ Solutions is taking this action in order to focus its management and capital resources on the Company's existing operations in North America and the United Kingdom, which remain the Company's highest performing business units. "The decision to appoint voluntary administrators follows a thorough review of Australian operations, including the current challenging business environment in Australia, and the negative impact on the financial results of our overall business," said Larry Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of VIQ Solutions. "We are disappointed that we were unable to bring the full capability of the Company's global scalable architecture and best practices to the Australian business. We will support the administrator to ensure that the business of VIQ Australia continues to operate without disruption, given that VIQ Australia supports critical functions of the Australian courts and law enforcement."The Company is optimistic that customers will continue to support VIQ Australia through the administration process and while the administrator works to ensure the future of VIQ Australia is secured.In pursuing voluntary administration, the Company is seeking to realize as much value as possible from VIQ Australia's remaining assets for the benefit of all stakeholders. The Company will continue to work cooperatively with the administrator, customers, employees, government authorities, and other affected parties throughout the process. The voluntary administration constitutes an event of default under the terms of the credit agreement dated January 13, 2023, as amended, between the Company and Beedie Investments Ltd.Preliminary Financial Results for Year Ended December 31, 2025VIQ Solutions' preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 indicate estimated consolidated revenue of approximately $41 million and Adjusted EBITDA (see "Non-IFRS Measures" below for details) of approximately $5 million. Excluding VIQ Australia, estimated consolidated revenue would be approximately $20 million and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA would be approximately $3 million. VIQ Solutions expects to streamline operations in its North America and the United Kingdom business to improve Adjusted EBITDA in the year ahead. The above preliminary financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 are based on management's estimates and have not yet been approved by the Company's audit committee or its board of directors. The Company's final financial results for its fiscal year could differ from these preliminary financial results. Appointment of New Chief Financial OfficerVIQ Solutions is pleased to announce that it has appointed a new Chief Financial Officer, Michael Wolfe, effective April 1, 2026. Mr. Wolfe has over 30 years' experience in finance, accounting, private equity and business valuation and has also served as a director for several private and public companies, including as a member of audit and other independent committees. He was previously the CFO of several mid-market Canadian companies including Baylin Technologies Inc., a TSX listed company in the wireless communications industry. Mr. Wolfe also brings a successful track record in acquisitions, management buyouts, growth financings and recapitalizations. Mr. Wolfe is a Chartered Professional Accountant.In connection with Mr. Wolfe's appointment, Alexie Edwards has resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective March 31, 2026. It is expected that Mr. Edwards will continue to work with the Company to ensure a smooth transition. The Company wishes Mr. Edwards well in his new endeavors.CEO Compensation ArrangementThe Company also announced that it has entered into a management services agreement (the "MSA") with Larry Taylor effective April 1, 2026 to support Mr. Taylor's transition to full-time Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Taylor has been Chief Executive Officer of the Company since August 2025, and has received no remuneration as CEO to date, all while supporting the Company through insider-led private placements. Pursuant to the MSA, the Company will pay a one-time management fee of US$50,000 on April 1, 2026, followed by monthly fees of US$25,000 commencing May 1, 2026. The Company has a right to terminate the MSA upon 90 days' written notice.For more information about VIQ Solutions, please visit viqsolutions.com.

VIQ Solutions Identifies Data Incidents in AustraliaFebruary 20, 2026 6:25 PM
NewsfileRichmond Hill, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2026) - VIQ Solutions Inc. (TSXV: VQS) ("VIQ", "VIQ Solutions" or the "Company") recently became aware of data privacy incidents involving unauthorized access to data by members of the Company's global personnel in the performance of Australian-based transcription services. Upon becoming aware of the matter, VIQ immediately activated its incident response protocols and commenced an internal investigation with a leading independent cybersecurity firm. There is no evidence of public disclosure, misuse, or attempted misuse of the affected information. Based on information available at this time, the access was limited to certain Australian customers and did not impact the Company's customers or operations in other jurisdictions globally. The Company is continuing to assess the scope and potential impact with affected customers. While the full scope of the impact is still under review, it is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations, as the Company's Australian operations represent a significant portion of the Company's annual revenues, and the Company is expected to incur material non-recurring expenses related to regulatory, legal and potential notification requirements. The Company also expects that the incidents may impact the Company's Australian workforce and reputation in the market. The Company has engaged a leading independent cybersecurity firm to assist in the investigation. There is no evidence of public disclosure, misuse, or attempted misuse of the affected information.

VIQ Solutions Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Third Quarter 2021 Outlook
Press Release | 08/16/2021
VIQ Solutions Inc. (“VIQ” or the “Company”) (TSX and Nasdaq: VQS), a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and video capture technology and transcription services, today reported unaudited financial results for the second quarter 2021 ended June 30, 2021 and provided an outlook for the third quarter 2021. Results are reported in US dollars and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210816005739/en/

“VIQ Solutions reached a significant milestone and began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“the Nasdaq”) last Thursday. This milestone cements our commitment to change the way evidentiary documentation is captured, transformed, analyzed, and distributed. While we were disappointed to terminate our IPO due to market conditions, we are very excited about our recent listing on the Nasdaq. We expect this move will lead to increased liquidity for our shareholders with the trading of our shares occurring on both the Nasdaq and the TSX markets,” said Sebastien Paré, VIQ Chief Executive Officer.

“Earlier this month, we provided a look into our operational results. At that time, we felt it was prudent to align expectations with lockdowns in Australia and the UK, which delayed some revenue. Despite the impact on our revenue, we decided to protect our workforce in preparation for work with existing accounts, as well as new contracts expected to begin when we emerge from these region-specific lockdowns. These shutdowns also temporarily impacted our gross margin as we incurred expenses without revenue. The level of subsidies to offset this impact was significantly reduced this year versus the prior year with approximately $2.5 million less in Covid-19 wage subsidies,” said Susan Sumner, VIQ President and Chief Operating Officer.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

Revenue of $8.2 million compares to $8.3 million in the same quarter of 2020 and in the first quarter 2021. The decrease of approximately 1% both year-over-year and sequentially was driven by delayed revenue resulting from COVID-19 impact as courts in Australia and in the UK were intermittently shutdown. The estimated Covid-19 related impact on revenue in the quarter exceeded $1 million, and was moved into backlog;
Gross profit of $4.0 million represented 49% of revenue compared to $5.0 million, or 61% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus the prior year was primarily related to a few factors including: delayed revenue due to the Covid-19 shutdowns moving into backlog; preparation costs for new contracts, for which revenue are expected to commence during the second half of 2021; strategic operating commitments to maintain the Company’s editing capacity to meet expected demand; and phased out Covid-19 wage subsidies;
Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.3 million versus the prior year Adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million. In addition to the gross profit impacts previously mentioned, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by approximately $0.6 million in significant one-time professional service fees associated with the completion of capital market milestones including our Nasdaq listing, filing the Company’s Base shelf prospectus dated June 10, 2021 and the F-10 registration statement in the U.S., and acquisition due diligence. For a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, please see the table at the end of this press release;
Net loss was $10.5 million versus net loss of $1.0 million in 2020. Approximately $6.7 million of the current quarter’s loss is related non-cash stock-based compensation following the shareholder approval of new Omnibus plan, and approximately $0.2 million in restructuring related expenses.
Expenses Related to Corporate Actions Impacting 2021

Mr. Paré continued, “We completed a significant amount of due diligence on potential acquisitions over the past several months, and we believe that the stage is set for us to continue executing on our M&A roll-up strategy.”

VIQ plans to complete several corporate milestones related to the acceleration of its innovation and global expansion initiatives in 2021. The one-time expenses associated with these corporate milestones are and will be included in the Company’s financial results.

The Company invested significantly in a variety of corporate actions during the first half of 2021 aimed at executing key growth milestones. Investments include upfront expenses in cost of sale and employee retention related to staffing for backlog and expanded contract in Australia, banking, legal and advisory fees related to the Company’s Nasdaq listing, and due diligence for planned acquisitions. These one-time fees are estimated to be approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter and $0.6 million in the second quarter and additional amounts are expected in the second half of 2021. These expenses, while considered “one-time” in nature, will not be added back as part of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA calculation.

“We continue to focus on improving the quality of our revenue as we grow our SaaS strategy and AI innovation at a faster pace. FirstDraft, powered by aiAssist™, creates machine-based documentation with breakthrough accuracy and has proven to improve gross margin by approximately 80% when compared to traditional services. We are improving our productivity and scalability, which should drive significant margin expansion in the future,” said Alexie Edwards, Chief Financial Officer of VIQ.

First Half of 2021 Financial Highlights:

Revenue of $16.4 million increased 4% compared to $15.8 million in revenue in 2020;
Gross profit of $8.0 million represented 49% of revenue versus $8.3 million or 52% in 2020. Gross profit for the first six months of 2021 was negatively impacted by the effects of Covid-19 shutdowns including delayed revenue, and reduced Covid-19 subsidies of approximately $1.1 million, while the Company retained its workforce ahead of the delivery for existing customers and new contracts scheduled for the second half of 2021;
Adjusted EBITDA was nil ($0.0 million) compared to a positive $2.4 million in 2020. The Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by lower gross margins and higher SG&A expenses related to corporate initiatives of $0.8 million (all described previously). For a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, please see the table at the end of this press release;
Net loss was $12.2 million versus a net loss of $7.7 million in 2020. Approximately $6.8 million of the current period’s loss relates to non-cash stock-based compensation following the shareholder approval of a new Omnibus plan, $0.8 million related to corporate initiatives, and approximately $0.4 million in restructuring related expenses.
“Our $12 million cash balance at quarter end, provides the liquidity to begin acquiring more accretive companies with a tremendous amount of rich domain specific content to help us improve our offerings and expand our client base globally while maintaining a substantial pipeline of potential acquisitions to consider,” Mr. Edwards continued.

Long-term Global Growth Strategy for VIQ as the Branded Industry Leader – Secure, Accurate, Fast

VIQ remains on track to grow organically this year and next year at double-digit rates despite the impacts of Covid-19, which continue to affect some of the Company’s industry verticals and regions, particularly in Australian courts.

VIQ’s scalable technology utilizes sophisticated technology and artificial intelligence (AI) designed to securely ingest significant amounts of evidentiary content to produce accurate, verbatim, diarized documents for mission critical events that have lasting financial and social impact.

AI-powered workflow processed over 20 million minutes of recorded, multi-speaker, multi-channel audio and video in 2020 and transcribed 40 million pages of secure, industry specific evidence documentation creating actionable information for use by their more than 1,800 clients worldwide.

“We generated consistent growth in multi-speaker, highly regulated, evidentiary voice and video data in our core verticals across the globe,” said Susan Sumner. “The U.S. total addressable market in the industries we serve is estimated to be over $10 billion with an annual CAGR of 6.1%. This highlights the increased need for technology and innovative capabilities to manage the vast amount of data collected. Our proprietary workflow solution, powered by AI, will drive transformation in the marketplace while driving margin expansion.”

“We are regarded as the leader in our core verticals, providing advanced technology solutions solving compliance and workflow challenges for our global client base. With the addition of FirstDraft, powered by aiAssist™, we will expand the overall opportunity to digitize an entire library of client content versus only the critical files that are professionally edited for final consumption today. Product innovation remains central to our core strategy and initiatives to drive revenue and increase gross margin,” Ms. Sumner continued.

The Company expects to migrate clients to bundled SaaS hybrid pricing models during the fourth quarter of 2021 and during 2022. These pricing models are expected to drive stronger, long-term client relationships with predictable recurring revenue and higher margins.

VIQ reiterates from its July 30, 2021 news release that it anticipates revenue in the third quarter to be in the range of $8.2 to $8.5 million. Gross margins are expected to be in the range of 46.0% to 47.0%. Gross margin estimates do not include any potential positive impact related to wage subsidies.

VQS: Indeed!!! NICE follow-up PR from that Firm!!

VIQ Solutions Submits Two Patent Applications for Methods Related to Training and Automated Selection of Domain Specific Language Models (DLSM)
PHOENIX, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VIQ Solutions Inc. ("VIQ", "VIQ Solutions" or the "Company") (TSX and Nasdaq: VQS), a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and video capture technology and transcription services, today announces it has filed two provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patents augment the Company’s speech engine agnostic workflows, improving documentation accuracy and usability of documentation, for courts, insurance, law enforcement and media organizations across the globe.

The first patent application is directed to the systems and methods for training domain-specific Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) language models. The novel methods can be leveraged to form accurate speech recognition to easily manage nuances of domain-specific words, accented speech and languages, including mixed-language audio files, and document formatting requirements.

The second patent application is directed to the automated selection of domain specific ASR models. This patent aims to protect the various mechanisms used to load static or dynamic DSLMs. The static model is used based on a pre-assigned setting and the dynamic methods utilize the Goodness Score or Artificial Intelligence Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to determine the context and domain of the audio, followed by a second pass using a DSLM creating profound ASR improvements in domain-specific verticals.

Both workflows utilize DSLMs to improve the quality of the draft transcript. DSLMs use a large database to create a baseline to create a new task-specific model that is being trained using the knowledge learned by the large language model. It leverages the knowledge learned during the training of the original model to improve the performance of the new model, resulting in increased efficiency, improved performance, and enhanced interpretability.

“DSLMs are one of many layers of aiAssist™ that supplies NetScribe with workflow automation and high-quality draft transcripts,” said Vahram Sukyas, Chief Technology Officer, VIQ Solutions. “We anticipate ASR improvements in domain-specific verticals by taking advantage of our large volume of production data to fine tune the DSLMs.”

The accuracy and usability of draft transcripts, FirstDraft™, is expected to increase and become even more competitive when enhanced with a series of “extra loops” in aiAssist workflow through VIQ trained DSLMs,” said Susan Sumner, President and Chief Operating Officer, VIQ Solutions. “Fewer edits equal greater efficiency and higher productivity as well as more capacity for faster turnaround orders, time savings, and cost reduction.”

VIQ Solutions Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Third Quarter 2021 Outlook
6:56 PM ET 8/16/21 | BusinessWire

PHOENIX, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 16, 2021--

VIQ Solutions Inc. ("VIQ" or the "Company") (TSX and Nasdaq: VQS), a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and video capture technology and transcription services, today reported unaudited financial results for the second quarter 2021 ended June 30, 2021 and provided an outlook for the third quarter 2021. Results are reported in US dollars and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210816005739/en/

"VIQ Solutions reached a significant milestone and began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("the Nasdaq") last Thursday. This milestone cements our commitment to change the way evidentiary documentation is captured, transformed, analyzed, and distributed. While we were disappointed to terminate our IPO due to market conditions, we are very excited about our recent listing on the Nasdaq. We expect this move will lead to increased liquidity for our shareholders with the trading of our shares occurring on both the Nasdaq and the TSX markets," said Sebastien Paré, VIQ Chief Executive Officer.

"Earlier this month, we provided a look into our operational results. At that time, we felt it was prudent to align expectations with lockdowns in Australia and the UK, which delayed some revenue. Despite the impact on our revenue, we decided to protect our workforce in preparation for work with existing accounts, as well as new contracts expected to begin when we emerge from these region-specific lockdowns. These shutdowns also temporarily impacted our gross margin as we incurred expenses without revenue. The level of subsidies to offset this impact was significantly reduced this year versus the prior year with approximately $2.5 million less in Covid-19 wage subsidies," said Susan Sumner, VIQ President and Chief Operating Officer.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue of $8.2 million compares to $8.3 million in the same quarter of
2020 and in the first quarter 2021. The decrease of approximately 1% both
year-over-year and sequentially was driven by delayed revenue resulting
from COVID-19 impact as courts in Australia and in the UK were
intermittently shutdown. The estimated Covid-19 related impact on revenue
in the quarter exceeded $1 million, and was moved into backlog;

-- Gross profit of $4.0 million represented 49% of revenue compared to $5.0
million, or 61% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2020. The decrease in
gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus the prior
year was primarily related to a few factors including: delayed revenue
due to the Covid-19 shutdowns moving into backlog; preparation costs for
new contracts, for which revenue are expected to commence during the
second half of 2021; strategic operating commitments to maintain the
Company's editing capacity to meet expected demand; and phased out
Covid-19 wage subsidies;

-- Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.3 million versus the prior year Adjusted
EBITDA of $1.8 million. In addition to the gross profit impacts
previously mentioned, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by
approximately $0.6 million in significant one-time professional service
fees associated with the completion of capital market milestones
including our Nasdaq listing, filing the Company's Base shelf prospectus
dated June 10, 2021 and the F-10 registration statement in the U.S., and
acquisition due diligence. For a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted
EBITDA, please see the table at the end of this press release;

-- Net loss was $10.5 million versus net loss of $1.0 million in 2020.
Approximately $6.7 million of the current quarter's loss is related
non-cash stock-based compensation following the shareholder approval of
new Omnibus plan, and approximately $0.2 million in restructuring related
expenses.

Expenses Related to Corporate Actions Impacting 2021
