    Altus Group Limited (“Altus” or “the Company”) (TSX: AIF) a leading provider of commercial real estate (“CRE”) intelligence, today announced the promotion of Rich Sarkis to Chief Commercial Officer, effective immediately. In this role, Rich will lead the Company’s global commercial strategy, overseeing all of the Analytics businesses, sales, customer success, and go-to-market execution to support Altus’ strategic priorities and evolving customer needs.

    Rich joined Altus through the acquisition of Reonomy, the company he founded, which provided Altus with the technology to connect disparate data for advanced analytics applications. In 2025 he assumed the role of President, Software and Data, where he played a critical role in bringing ARGUS Intelligence to market.

    With deep industry expertise, strong stakeholder relationships, and already playing a key role in Altus’ operations, Rich is well positioned to keep advancing Altus’ commercial capabilities globally. He has been named to the Power Proptech list for four consecutive years, reflecting his leadership and impact within the CRE technology ecosystem.

    “Rich’s deep understanding of our clients, technology, and our markets makes him exceptionally well suited to lead this mandate and strengthen the connection between our strategy, our teams and the promises we make to the market,” said Mike Gordon, incoming CEO and Executive Chair of Altus. “Importantly, it will help bring more alignment between our software, data, and valuation advisory solutions to better serve our clients.”

    “I’m grateful for the opportunity to step into this expanded role and to continue working with our teams to create value for our customers,” added Rich. “Our focus is simple: helping customers perform better by making our solutions easier to adopt and delivering value faster.”

    Non-GAAP and Other Measures

    Altus Group uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, total of segments measures, capital management measures, and supplementary and other financial measures as defined in NI 52-112.  These non-GAAP and other financial measures include Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Constant Currency; non-GAAP ratios such as Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow per share; total of segments measures such as Adjusted EBITDA; capital management measures such as Free Cash Flow; and supplementary financial and other measures such as Adjusted EBITDA margin and Recurring Revenue, Software - Annual Recurring Revenue and VMS - Annual Recurring Revenue.  Management believes that these measures may assist investors in assessing an investment in the Company’s shares as they provide additional insight into the Company’s performance. Readers are cautioned that they are not defined performance measures, and do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to financial measures as reported by those entities. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.  Refer to the “Non-GAAP and Other Measures” section on Page 3 of the Management’s Discussion & Analysis dated February 19, 2026 for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “MD&A”), which is incorporated by reference in this press release and which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for more information on each measure, including definitions and methods of calculation.  A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) to Profit (Loss) and Free Cash Flow to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is included at the end of this press release.
