They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)
ACCOUNTING STANDARD AMENDMENTS EFFECTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2025
The following amendments to existing standards were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2024:
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. For the purposes of non-current classification, the amendments removed the requirement for a right to defer settlement or roll over of a liability for at least twelve months to be unconditional. Instead, such a right must have substance and exist at the end of the reporting period. After reconsidering certain aspects of the 2020 amendments, the IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Additional disclosure will be required to help users understand the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within twelve months after the reporting date. The amendments also clarify how a company classifies a liability that includes a counterparty conversion option. The amendments state that: settlement of a liability includes transferring a company’s own equity instruments to the counterparty; and when classifying liabilities as current or non-current, a company can ignore only those conversion options that are recognized as equity. The amendments to IAS 1 apply retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The amendments of IAS 1 had no impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
At the date of authorization of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the IASB but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the first reporting period following the date of application. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards, which could potentially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are detailed as follows:
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB published the new IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements that will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements.
IFRS 18 covers four main areas:
•Introduction of defined subtotals and categories in the statement of profit or loss
•Introduction of requirements to improve aggregation and disaggregation
•Introduction of disclosures about management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements
•Targeted improvements to the statement of cash flows by amending IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows
IFRS 18 applies retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and other receivables, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt bearing interest at variable rates is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at rates that would be currently offered to the Company for debts of the same remaining maturities and conditions (Level 2). For both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company has determined that the fair value of the Credit Facility, the secured loans, the subordinated unsecured loans and the balance of purchase price payable are not significantly different than their carrying amount.

Competitive Environment
For many companies, digital systems and infrastructures are among their most important and strategic assets. These assets require significant investments and increasingly serve as key differentiators and drivers of growth for customers.
Accordingly, businesses are seeking solutions that allow them to maintain their ability to differentiate themselves from competitors with proprietary business processes, combined with product customization. That is where digital transformation comes into play, inviting companies to make a shift in their approach and to evolve from traditional information technologies to flexible digital technologies.
As businesses’ technology spending continues to increase, digital technology firms such as Alithya are striving to deliver innovative thinking and in-depth vertical industry expertise, while facilitating business process transformation through the use of the most optimal technologies.
Alithya believes it is well positioned to respond to these trends in clients’ investments in digital technology. Alithya’s business model is built on a philosophy of focusing on our clients’ complex business challenges, offering flexible and creative solutions, enabling clients to realize maximum benefits from their digital technology

investments. Alithya positions itself as an agile trusted advisor and partner capable of delivering rapid results for its clients.
Alithya’s competitors, in each of its operating and reportable segments, include systems integration firms, application software companies, cloud computing service providers, large or traditional consulting firms, professional services groups of computer equipment companies, infrastructure management and outsourcing companies and boutique digital companies. In addition, Alithya competes with numerous smaller local companies in the various geographic markets in which it operates.
Alithya competes based on the following principal differentiating factors: vision and strategic advisory ability, digital services capabilities, performance and reliability, quality of technical support, training and services, global presence, responsiveness to client needs, reputation and experience, financial stability, strong corporate governance and competitive pricing of services.
Alithya also relies on the following measures to compete effectively: (a) investments to scale its services practice areas; (b) a well-developed recruiting, training and retention model; (c) a successful service delivery model; (d) a broad referral base; (e) continual investment in process improvement and knowledge capture; (f) investment in infrastructure and research and development; (g) continued focus on responsiveness to client needs, quality of services and competitive prices; and (h) project management capabilities and technical expertise.
4. Strategic Business Plan Outlook
Alithya embarked on a journey to be recognized as the trusted technology advisor of its clients. By the end of fiscal 2027, management believes that our achievement of this new scale and scope would allow us to leverage our industry knowledge, geographic presence, expertise, integrated offerings, and our position on the value chain to target higher value IT segments.
Our strategic process begins with our agile approach to aligning our offerings with the most pressing challenges being experienced within the sectors that we service, and in our ability to continuously reinforce the building blocks of trusted relationships with our clients, our people, our investors, and our partners. To ensure that we remain innovative and relevant, we strive to meet or exceed the expectations of our stakeholders, including optimizing employee experiences, assisting our clients in achieving their missions, and creating greater value for our investors.
More specifically, Alithya has developed a three-year strategic plan outlining objectives, keeping in mind our stakeholders' interests, with the primary goals detailed as follows:
•Increasing scale through organic growth and strategic acquisitions:
◦Organic Growth: Alithya aims to achieve between 5 and 10 percent annualized organic growth.
◦Acquisitions: Alithya plans to acquire complementary businesses totaling 150 million dollars of revenues.
| | | | | |

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 | | 5 |
◦AI and IP Solutions: Alithya intends to increase the utilization of its AI and intellectual property solutions.
•Providing our investors, partners and stakeholders with long-term growing return on investment:
◦Profitability: Alithya’s Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) is targeted to increase to within the range of 11 to 13 percent.
◦Smart shoring centers: Alithya aims to deliver an increasing percentage of its business through smart shoring centers.
◦Environmental goal: Alithya endeavours to obtain Carbon Care Certification® (Level 1), and to initiate steps towards achieving carbon neutrality certification (Level 2).
The objectives in our three-year strategic plan, including our organic growth, acquisition, and profitability objectives, are based on our current business plan and strategies and are not intended to be a forecast or a projection of future results. Rather, they are objectives that we seek to achieve from the execution of our strategy over time, and contemplate our historical performance and certain assumptions including but not limited to (i) our ability to execute our growth strategies, (ii) our ability to identify and acquire complementary businesses on accretive terms, and (iii) our estimates and expectations in relation to future economic and business conditions and other factors.
1 This is a non-IFRS financial measure. Refer to section 5 titled “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” for an explanation of the composition and usefulness of this non-IFRS financial measure and to section 8.8 titled “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

5. Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures
Alithya reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS. This MD&A includes certain non-IFRS and supplementary financial measures and ratios to assess Alithya's financial performance. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of Alithya's results of operations from management's perspective. They do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. They should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are used to provide investors with additional insight into Alithya's operating performance and thus highlight trends in Alithya's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.
The non-IFRS measures used by Alithya are described below:
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
“EBITDA” refers to net earnings (loss) before adjusting for income tax expense (recovery), net financial expenses, amortization of intangibles, and depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets.
“EBITDA Margin” refers to the percentage of total revenue that EBITDA represents for a given period.
Management believes that EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are useful measures for investors as they provide an indication of the results generated by Alithya’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration non-cash depreciation and amortization. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA, see section 7.8 titled “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA”.
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share
“Adjusted Net Earnings” refers to net earnings (loss) before adjusting for amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangibles and goodwill, impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets and (gain) loss on lease termination, share-based compensation, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, other redundant items, including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel, and the income tax effects of these items.
“Adjusted Net Earnings per Share” is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares ("Subordinate Voting Shares") and Class B Multiple Voting Shares ("Multiple Voting Shares"), during the period.
Management believes that Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share are useful measures for investors as they allow comparability of operating results from one period to another, prior to taking into consideration non-cash items, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, and severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel, which can vary significantly from period to period. These measures provide an indication of the results generated by Alithya’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration the non-cash and other items listed above which have resulted primarily from acquisitions and their subsequent integrations. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted Net Earnings, see section 7.6 titled “Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share”.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
“Adjusted EBITDA” refers to net earnings (loss) before adjusting for income tax expense (recovery), net financial expenses, foreign exchange, amortization of intangibles, depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, impairment of intangibles and goodwill, impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets and (gain) loss on lease termination, share-based compensation, business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, and other redundant items, including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” refers to the percentage of total revenue that Adjusted EBITDA represents for a given period.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful measures for investors as they allow comparability of operating results from one period to another. These measures provide an indication of the results generated by Alithya’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration the non-cash and other items listed above. For a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see section 7.8 titled “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA”.
Constant Dollar Revenue and Constant Dollar Growth
“Constant Dollar Revenue” is a measure of revenue and revenue by geographic location before foreign currency translation impacts. This measure is calculated by translating current period revenue and revenue by geographic location in local currency using the exchange rates in the equivalent period from the prior year.
“Constant Dollar Growth” is a measure of revenue growth and revenue growth by geographic location, expressed as a percentage, before foreign currency translation impacts. This measure is calculated by dividing Constant Dollar Revenue as described above with prior period revenue.
Management believes that Constant Dollar Revenue and Constant Dollar Growth are useful measures for investors as they allow revenue to be adjusted to exclude the impact of currency fluctuations to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of business performance. For a reconciliation of revenues to Constant Dollar Revenue by geographic location, see section 7.1 titled “Revenues”.
Net Debt
“Net Debt” refers to long-term debt, including the current portion, less cash. For the calculation of Net Debt, see section 9.6 titled “Long-Term Debt and Net Debt”. Management believes that Net Debt is a useful measure for investors as it provides an indication of the liquidity of the Company.
Other Financial Measures
The other financial measures used by Alithya are described below:
“Gross Margin as a Percentage of Revenues” is calculated by dividing gross margin by revenues.
“Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenues” is calculated by dividing selling, general and administrative expenses by revenues.
| | | | | |

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 | | 8 |
“Bookings” refers to the amount of signed revenue agreements during the period, which includes new contracts, including those acquired through acquisitions, as well as renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts. Management believes information regarding bookings can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in the volume of new business over time.
“Book-to-Bill Ratio” is calculated by dividing Bookings by revenues, for the same period. Management believes this measure allows for the monitoring of the Company’s backlog and offers useful insight to investors on how the business varies and evolves over time. This measure is best used over a long period as it could fluctuate significantly from one quarter to the other.
“Backlog” refers to the amount of future revenue stemming from signed revenue agreements, which includes new contracts, including those acquired through acquisitions, as well as renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts, expressed as a number of months of trailing twelve-month revenue, as at a given date. Backlog differs from the IFRS definition of remaining performance obligations, as disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements, as backlog also includes time and materials arrangements in which contractual billings correspond with the value provided to the client and contracts with original expected durations under one year. Management believes that backlog information can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in management’s best estimate of future revenue stemming from signed revenue agreements.
“Days Sales Outstanding” (“DSO”) refers to the average number of days it takes for the Company to convert its accounts receivable and other receivables (net of sales taxes) and unbilled revenues, less deferred revenues, into cash. Management believes this measure provides useful insight to investors regarding the Company's liquidity.

7.3Operating Expenses
7.3.1Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include salary, wages and other benefits for selling and administrative employees, occupancy costs, information technology and communications costs, share-based compensation, professional fees, public listing and investor fees, and other administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $31.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $0.8 million, or 2.6%, from $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues amounted to 26.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 24.7% for the same period last year. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven mainly by decreases of $1.4 million in impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, stemming from impairment charges last year as part of Alithya's ongoing review of its real estate strategy following the integration of acquisitions and changes in working conditions in order to reduce the Company's footprint and realize synergies, $0.5 million in occupancy costs, and $0.4 million in non-cash share-based compensation, partially offset by increases of $1.3 million in employee compensation costs, including $1.5 million of severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel, and $0.3 million in professional fees. On a sequential basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million, from $29.6 million for the fourth quarter of last year, due primarily to increased employee compensation expenses, namely annual salary increases, variable compensation, and severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel.
In Canada, expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 10.7%, to $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to decreases of $1.4 million in impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, as discussed above, $0.5 million in occupancy costs, $0.5 million in non-cash share-based compensation, and $0.2 million in information technology and communications costs, partially offset by increases of $0.5 million in employee

U.S. expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 7.9%, to $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to increases of $0.6 million in employee compensation costs, including severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel, $0.1 million in professional fees, and $0.1 million in non-cash share-based compensation. The increased expenses include an unfavorable US$ exchange rate impact of $0.2 million.
International expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 11.4%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, mainly due to an increase of $0.1 million in employee compensation costs.
7.3.2Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation is included in cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses and is detailed in the table below:

Share-based compensation amounted to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $0.4 million, from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in share-based compensation was driven primarily by decreased expenses related to share-based compensation granted on business acquisitions and a $0.2 million reversal of share-based compensation expense for forfeited equity instruments, partially offset by increased expenses related to RSUs.
7.3.3Business Acquisition, Integration and Reorganization Costs
Business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs amounted to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, from $1.1 million the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven primarily by a $0.6 million decrease in integration costs, mainly related to lease termination costs for vacated premises in the first quarter of last year, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in reorganization costs, related to severance payments from workforce reductions in response to the current economic environment.

7.4.2Income Taxes
Income tax expense amounted to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $0.6 million, from $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to an increase in deferred tax expense due to increased income in certain entities for which deferred tax assets were previously recognized, partially offset by a decrease in current income tax expense as a result of decreased

taxable income in certain jurisdictions. Certain entities of the Group, with a history of losses, do not recognize deferred tax assets related to their loss in the period.
7.5Net Loss and Loss per Share
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.8 million, representing a decrease of $4.4 million, from $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decreased loss was driven by increased gross margin, decreased selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, decreased amortization of intangibles and depreciation of property and equipment, and decreased net financial expenses, partially offset by increased income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. On a per share basis, this translated into a basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $0.08 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

8. Bookings and Backlog
Bookings during the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $98.2 million, which translated into a Book-to-Bill Ratio of 0.81 for the quarter. The Book-to-Bill Ratio would be 0.92 if revenues from the two long-term contracts signed as part of an acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were excluded.
Management believes information regarding Bookings can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in the volume of new business over time. However, contracts typically provide termination clauses at the option of the customer. Furthermore, modifications of the scope of work and demand-driven usage may occur. As such, the amount of the contract actually realized could materially differ from the initial Bookings.
As at June 30, 2024, Backlog represented approximately 16 months of trailing twelve-month revenues. The Backlog includes revenue agreements for projects which may extend beyond twelve months.
Management believes that Backlog information can provide useful trend insight to investors regarding changes in management’s best estimate of future revenues stemming from signed revenue agreements. However, contracts typically provide termination clauses at the option of the customer. Furthermore, modifications of the scope of work and demand-driven usage may occur. There can be no assurance that subsequent cancellations or scope adjustments will not occur, that the Backlog will ultimately result in earnings, or when the related revenues and earnings from such Backlog will be recognized. As such, the amount of the contract actually realized could materially differ from the amount included in Backlog at a given date.

Alithya’s main objectives when managing capital are to provide a strong capital base in order to maintain shareholders’, creditors’, and other stakeholders’ confidence and to sustain future growth and development of the business, to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk level and preserves the ability to meet its financial obligations, to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its organic growth strategy and undertake selective acquisitions, and to provide returns on investment to shareholders.
In managing its capital structure, Alithya monitors performance throughout the year to ensure anticipated working capital requirements and maintenance capital expenditures are funded from operations, available cash and, where applicable, borrowings.

Total long-term debt as at June 30, 2024 decreased by $9.5 million, to $107.9 million, from $117.4 million as at March 31, 2024, due primarily to the repayment of $8.5 million in secured loans and a decrease of $1.2 million in amounts drawn under the Credit Facility, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in the balance of purchase price payable due to foreign exchange.
As at June 30, 2024, cash amounted to $10.8 million and $79.9 million was drawn under the Credit Facility and classified as long-term debt. In comparison, as at March 31, 2024, cash amounted to $8.9 million and $81.1 million was drawn under the Credit Facility and classified as long-term debt.

Quarterly variances in Alithya's results can be attributed primarily to seasonality and customer investment cycles. The revenues generated by Alithya's consultants are impacted by the number of working days in a particular quarter, which can vary as a result of vacations and other paid time off and statutory holidays. Similarly, customer information technology investment cycles are also affected by the seasonality of their own operations.
Over the eight-quarter period, revenues have fluctuated due to business acquisitions, and most recently, reductions in information technology investments in the financial services sector due to the current economic environment. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues has generally followed an increasing trend, mainly due to higher utilization, improved project performance, and a steady migration towards higher value-added services. Selling, general and administrative expenses have fluctuated due to business acquisitions, net of possible synergies, and increased in the current quarter due primarily to increased employee compensation expenses, namely annual salary increases, variable compensation, and severance consisting of termination and benefit costs for key management personnel, after notably decreasing over the previous four quarters. The decrease over the previous four quarters was mainly a result of the review of Alithya's cost structure initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the modifications undertaken in the quarters that followed, and workforce reductions in response to the current economic environment, incurred in recent quarters. As a percentage of consolidated revenues, total selling, general and administrative expenses have fluctuated due to acquisitions, cost structure reviews, and as a result of the variations in revenues discussed above. Other expenses, such as business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and income tax (recovery) expense, have also varied as a result of business acquisitions and the subsequent integration activities and requirements.

12. Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of Alithya’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which they occur and in any future periods affected.
The Q1 Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by all entities of the Company.
13. Accounting Standard Amendments Effective for the Year Ending March 31, 2025
The following amendments to existing standards were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2024:
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. For the purposes of non-current classification, the amendments removed the requirement for a right to defer settlement or roll over of a liability for at least twelve months to be unconditional. Instead, such a right must have substance and exist at the end of the reporting period. After reconsidering certain aspects of the 2020 amendments, the IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Additional disclosure will be required to help users understand the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within twelve months after the reporting date. The amendments also clarify how a company classifies a liability that includes a counterparty conversion option. The amendments state that: settlement of a liability includes transferring a company’s own equity instruments to the counterparty; and when classifying liabilities as current or non-current, a company can ignore only those conversion options that are recognized as equity. The amendments to IAS 1 apply retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The amendments of IAS 1 had no impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
14. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued but Not Yet Effective
At the date of authorization of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the IASB but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the first reporting period following the date of application.
| | | | | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Alithya | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 | | 28 |
Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards, which could potentially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are detailed as follows:
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB published the new IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements that will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements.
IFRS 18 covers four main areas:
•Introduction of defined subtotals and categories in the statement of profit or loss
•Introduction of requirements to improve aggregation and disaggregation
•Introduction of disclosures about management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements
•Targeted improvements to the statement of cash flows by amending IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows
IFRS 18 applies retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements.
15. Risks and Uncertainties
Alithya is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and is affected by a number of factors which could have a material adverse effect on Alithya's financial position, financial performance, cash flows, business or reputation. These risks should be considered when evaluating an investment in Alithya and may, among other things, cause a decline in the price of the Subordinate Voting Shares.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Risks and Uncertainties” of the Company's MD&A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
16. Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the material information relating to the Company is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others, particularly during the period in which annual and interim filings are prepared and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by the Company under Canadian and U.S. securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under
| | | | | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Alithya | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 | | 29 |
those laws and the related rules. The effectiveness of these DC&P, as defined under National Instrument 52-109 – Issuers’ annual and interim filings (“NI 52-109”) adopted by Canadian securities regulators and in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was evaluated under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as at the end of the Company’s most recently completed financial year ended March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s DC&P were not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined under NI 52-109 adopted by Canadian securities regulators and in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s ICFR are designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by management and other key employees, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR was evaluated under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as at the end of the Company’s most recently completed financial year ended March 31, 2024 based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s ICFR was not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the material weakness described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In connection with the Company’s evaluation of ICFR, management identified a material weakness related to the control activities in its revenue processes. Notwithstanding the existence of a material weakness, management has concluded that the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024 present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with IFRS, and confirms that this material weakness did not result in (i) any material adjustments to the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and (ii) there were no changes to previously released financial results. However, as previously disclosed, because the material weakness creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, it was concluded that as of March 31, 2024, the Company’s ICFR was not effective.
Remediation Plan
Management, with the oversight of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, continues to implement remediation measures designed to ensure that the deficiencies in the Company’s ICFR that resulted in a material weakness are remediated. The remediation actions include providing additional training to control operators as well as improving documentary evidence protocols at the control execution level. Although management expects that the remediation of deficiencies in key controls related to its revenue processes which
| | | | | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Alithya | |
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 | | 30 |
resulted in the occurrence of a material weakness will be completed during the year ending March 31, 2025, there is no assurance as to when such remediation will be completed, nor if the remediation measures put in place will be effective to remediate such deficiencies. The material weakness will also not be considered fully remediated until the applicable internal controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these internal controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation plan described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s ICFR during the three months ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The effectiveness of ICFR as of March 31, 2024 has been audited by KPMG LLP, (“KPMG”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In view of the above, KPMG has expressed an adverse opinion on the Company’s ICFR as of March 31, 2024.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management recognizes that any DC&P and ICFR, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because of their inherent limitations, DC&P and ICFR may not prevent or detect all errors or misstatements on a timely basis.

3.Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings.
