Ciscom Announces A Revenue Rebound, An Enhanced Digital Offering And A Positive Outlook for 2026

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 20, 2026) – CISCOM Corp. (CSE: CISC) (OTCQB: CISCF) (“Ciscom” or “the Company“), which actively invests in, acquires, and manages companies within the Information and Communication Technology (“ICT”) sector with a specialty in AdTech and MarTech, is pleased to provide a positive business update heading into 2026, underscoring a strong revenue rebound, the launch of a new proprietary digital platform, leading to improved profitability.

Revenue Rebound Underway
Ciscom is experiencing an immediate and measurable year-over-year improvement following the agreement in principle between Canada Post Corporation (“CPC”) and its unions, which removed a critical bottleneck in the direct mail industry.

Direct mail sales recovered sharply by the end of 2025 as clients resumed campaigns that had been deferred earlier in the year. More importantly, campaign planning with clients is now firmly underway for 2026.

Following collaborative planning sessions with clients and early commitments for 2026 campaigns, the Company anticipates restoring volumes to pre-2025 levels, signaling a recovery and a clear and material year-over-year improvement.

Engage+ Positions Ciscom For Digital Growth
Prospect Media has launched Engage+, and a number of clients already use the platform. This proprietary programmatic digital flyer platform is powered by proprietary data. Engage+ is designed to outperform incumbent offerings on reach, engagement, cost efficiency, and delivering stronger return on investments for clients.

Early market response has been positive, validating Engage+ as a new scalable engine that diversifies Ciscom’s revenue mix beyond traditional channels. Management views Engage+ as a strategic differentiator.

In addition to this organic initiative, the Company continues to evaluate additional tuck-in opportunities and initiatives aimed at further revenue diversification and growth.

Positioned for 2026 Execution
“We were pro-active and didn’t wait for conditions to improve,” said Michel Pepin, President, CEO, and Director of Ciscom Corp. “We reduced costs, protected cash, paid down debt, and continued building data-led solutions. Demand is returning and Ciscom is positioned to convert revenue growth directly into improved profitability.”

Ciscom proactively reset its expense base early in 2025, permanently lowering operating costs and improving overall efficiency.

As a result, EBITDA before one-time charges for impairment and reorganizational expenses is expected to be positive in 2025.

With revenue recovering, a lean cost structure in place and new digital products launching, Ciscom enters 2026 financially stronger and operationally better positioned than it has been in years.

Management continues to actively address the Company’s fundamentals and its market valuation to ensure that shareholders’ value is reestablished – removing the current disconnect.
