A few years ago, our debt with Cortland stood at $25M ๐
Yesterday, we officially paid Cortland down to $0 ๐คฏ
Desjardins refinanced the final $5.9M at MUCH improved terms โ
Paying Cortland down from $25M to $0 wasnโt one big move.
It was 100s of small ones.
We sold businesses. We paid down debt. We cut costs. We renegotiated contracts. We rebuilt parts of the business. We fought for every dollar of cash flow.
And when things got really hard, we stuck around.
There was nothing glamorous about most of it.
Just a small team, showing up every day, making difficult decisions, and trying to deliver on what we said we were going to do.
Slowly, the numbers started moving in the right direction.
Growth returned โ
Cash flow returned โ
We started buying businesses again, but with more discipline and synergy this time.
And eventually, we earned the opportunity to move from expensive, short-term debt (11% interest rate, renewing every 12-18 months) to a 7.3% rate and a 7-year facility with #Desjardins, one of Canadaโs largest financial institutions.
I donโt view this refinancing as the finish line of course.
I view it as the end of a LONG ass first chapter.
For the last few years, so much of our energy went into fixing, simplifying and de-risking EMERGE.
Now we get to put more of that energy into playing OFFENCE again.
Growing our businesses.
Buying great ones.
And continuing to do the BORING stuff, day after day. SCRAPPY all the way baby!!
It took a lot to get here. Proud of our team for sticking with it.
Feels good to deliver on our promise to complete a โCanadian bankโ refi deal this year.
Now, back to work ๐๐ผโค๏ธ

Following our multi-year efforts, we can finally share that EMERGE has officially secured a substantially lower-cost, long-term credit facility with Desjardins, one of Canadaโs most established financial institutions. Graduating to a traditional Canadian bank facility has been one of our key stated priorities for years, and was only made possible by EMERGEโs significantly improved financial profile. The materially lower interest rate, combined with the elimination of recurring refinancing costs, is expected to meaningfully strengthen our cash flow, allowing us to direct the majority of these savings toward methodically reducing debt over the coming years, while preserving the flexibility to invest in our businesses and pursue accretive acquisitions as the right opportunities arise. We are grateful for the team at Desjardins for their vote of confidence in EMERGE at this exciting inflection point.
Benjamen Pinsky, Associate Director, Technology and Innovation Banking, Desjardins, commented, โDesjardins is pleased to support EMERGE as it enters its next phase of growth. This financing provides the Company with a long-term capital structure designed to support continued operational progress and growth across its portfolio of businesses.โ

@EMERGE_ECOM $ECOM.v
If youโre going to ask someone on your team to do something โbeneath themโ, you better be damn sure youโre willing to do it yourself.
I see this one all the time. Someone gets a title and suddenly certain tasks are โnot their job.โ
I donโt buy it.
Iโm the CEO. If a PR needs to be drafted, Iโll draft it.
If a deck needs fixing, Iโll fix it. If something needs scheduling, uploading, formatting, cleaning up, chasing down or doing at 10pm on a Sundayโฆ
Iโll do it.
It's not the best use of my time, but it just needs to get done.
My team sees me doing those things, then when I ask them to do something that might technically be โbeneath them,โ they understand the deal.
Nobody is above the work. Thatโs how we built EMERGE.
Thatโs why we survived the "DARK PERIOD".
DOWN & DIRTY babyy!! That's how.
@EMERGE_ECOM
I was reading my recent LinkedIn post about EMERGEโs results and I couldn't help but ask myself:
When did you start sounding so damn robotic?
Revenue up. EBITDA up. Cash flow up. X consecutive quarters of growth. Over and over againโฆ
Great, but none of that tells the real story.
Behind those numbers are approx. 1 million mistakes, sleepless nights, painful decisions, setbacks, pressuresโฆ and a team that kept showing up through it all.
The numbers donโt nearly capture the team's will and resilience it took, day in and day out, to overcome unimaginable odds just a few years ago.
You really think we brought our net debt position DOWN from $32M to ~$4M based on numbers alone?
You think we brought the business BACK TO GROWTH based on numbers alone?
You think we became CASH FLOW POSITIVE based on numbers alone??
HEART, baby. It's called HEART. With a side of SCRAPPY.
And this team has a heck of a lot of both.

We just announced our Q2 results. First time Adj. EBITDA exceeds $1M+ since ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ญ. First time revenue exceeds $9M+ since ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฏ.
Let's dive in..
โ ๐ค๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ grew to $9.11M vs. $8.48M, an increase of 7.4% YoY, marking the 9th consecutive quarter of YoY revenue growth

Q2 was our strongest quarter in years, across both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, with positive cash flow generation on full display. The 2026 golf season launched with strength, while Viral Loops contributed meaningfully to our improved gross margins and positive cash flow in its first full quarter under EMERGE. Importantly, all three of our verticals drove positive Adjusted EBITDA. Q2 also provides a more representative view of the underlying business, with T2G having been acquired in early April 2025.

โBuy boring and make sexy.โ
Emerge Commerce (@EMERGE_ECOM) founder, Ghassan Halazon (@instajee), on acquiring a 38-year-old golf equipment business for 2.2x EBITDA:
โThis business that used to grow at 3% a year, is now growing at 33% a year.โ
Cash flow exceeded the purchase price in the first quarter post-close.
Ok, our Q1 results are out. We just completed 2 full years (8 quarters of YoY revenue growth). 6 consecutive quarters of Adj. EBITDA positive. $4.1M Cash position (up $1.4M YoY)...
Q1 is normally the most seasonal Q of the year for us, so it's nice to see positive Adj. EBITDA during "quiet season".
Coming up.. Q2 is normally the strongest Q of the year, with peak golf season in action. It will also be our first full Q including Viral Loops (latest acquisition) results.
Let's go.. or as the kids say.. LFG
Appreciate everyone on the mission with us - you know who you are.
@EMERGE_ECOM $ECOM.v
Lights, Camera, AUDIT! ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐
Our full year 2025 audited financials are in..
Quick highlights below (2025 vs. 2024):
โ Annual revenueย increased to $27.7M vs. $19.3M, +43% YoY
โ Gross profit grew to $9.9M vs. $7.9M, +25% YoY.
โ Adj. EBITDAย improved to $1.5M vs. ($472K), +$1.9M YoY
โ Cash flow from operations grew to
$2.8M vs. $129 K
โ Cash positionย grew to $4.1M vs. $3.1M, a $1M increase YoY
Q4 and full year (audited) results were in line with preliminary results (Financials exclude Viral Loops which was acquired in Q1 2026)
2025 was a breakout year for EMERGE. We delivered another year of organic revenue growth, returned to positive Adjusted EBITDA, and generated meaningful cash flowโ achieving all three of our core operational objectives. Our Q4 results marked another strong quarter of growth, despite being a seasonal period for T2G. Both our Grocery and Golf verticals performed well, supported by record holiday B2B sales.
The acquisition and rapid scaling of hashtag#T2G exceeded all expectations and validates our EMERGE 3.0 playbook. Weโve carried this momentum into 2026 with the acquisition of Viral Loops, adding a high-margin, recurring revenue stream that further enhances our model. We remain focused on compounding value through profitable growth and disciplined capital allocation.
Iโd like to thank our team, Board, and partners for their continued execution and unwavering support ๐๐ผ
Now, time to do it all over again..
@EMERGE_ECOM $ECOM.v
BORING ALERT -
We release our full year audited statements tomorrow (April 29) pre-market.
Join us for our FY 2025 and Q4 earnings call tomorrow at 9am ET.
(Earnings dial in info in comments)
@EMERGE_ECOM $ECOM.v
Our company is growing up and so is the way we are starting to think of the business..
Today, we provided Cash Flow figures for Viral Loops, our recently announced acquisition, based on preliminary (unaudited) results for 2025:
Cash Flow:ย $700K
Adj. EBITDAย to Cash Flow Conversion(1):ย 86%
Based on these results, the $2.3M total purchase price for Viral Loops represents approximately 3.3x cash flow.
With cash flow becoming an increasing priority at EMERGE, we wanted to give investors more visibility into Viral Loops' cash flow profile. This level of cash generation demonstrates the quality of the earnings and the asset-light nature of the platform. Viral Loops operates with a lean team, a disciplined marketing budget, and minimal working capital requirements, which has translated into consistent profitability and cash generation. We look forward to integrating Viral Loops and strengthening EMERGE overall.
@EMERGE_ECOM $ECOM.v
Tune into our webcast at 11am EST today for a deep dive into the Viral Loops acquisition, our overall progress and plans, followed by investor Q&A.
