With that, I'd like to pass the line to Shubha to get us started today before we get into some Q&A. Over to you, Shubha.
Shubha Dasgupta
Thank you so much, Jack. On behalf of our Board of Directors and management, Anthony and myself, I'd like to thank all of you for joining us here today, for your interest in Pineapple, and for your support over the years.
With our Q2 earnings now complete, this is a great moment for us to step back and talk about where Pineapple is today and also talk more about where we're headed. The focus today is really on execution, discipline, and what comes next for the business.
We've gone through a meaningful transformation from a traditional mortgage brokerage into an integrated fintech platform the last few quarters, and we want to frame that for everyone today here. Let's start off with where Pineapple is today.
We spent the last decade building an incredible national mortgage brokerage platform here in Canada. We're supporting hundreds of mortgage brokers from coast to coast and funding almost $2 billion a year in annual mortgage originations.
Our Q2 2026 mortgage volume is posted at $367.2 million with six-month aggregated volume being $829.3 million, implying that our annual run rate is near $1.6 to $1.7 billion for the year. For context, the six-month mortgage volume edged up to about $829.3 from $811.5 million in the prior year.
This might seem like a modest increase, but it's very worth noting that the broader Canadian mortgage origination market is still operating below its 2022 levels. We're still seeing significant effects of the rise in interest rates and inflation that have caused consumer sentiment to be dampened and continues to impact affordability and the ability for new Canadians to enter the housing market with constraints and limited housing supply.
The fact that we're continuing to see stable to improving activity across our network even in this environment speaks to the resilience of our platform as well as the recurring nature of Canada's renewal-driven mortgage cycle. This is not a concepts business.
This is an operating platform with real scale, real revenue, and a concrete footprint in one of the most resilient markets in the world. What's changed is where we are in that journey.
We've moved out of the build phase and into a phase that is really about execution and performance as an integrated platform. Let me talk to you a little bit about the recent operational reset.
Over the last couple of quarters, we've made a very deliberate decision to resetting the operating model. That was really about tightening discipline across the business with a key focus around reducing our fixed cost base, improving capital efficiency, and aligning the organization around execution while continuing to modernize and optimize our platform for the future of digital finance.
This work included a workforce realignment moving to a cleaner, technology-enabled model; rationalizing software and third-party spend, ensuring that we were streamlining and allocating our funds to the right places; and integrating AI across a number of workflows, including automating agent onboarding, data and customer engagement, as well as a multitude of others. Initiating tokenization of mortgage data was also a big part of the last couple of quarters, and we'll be diving into that more in detail throughout this presentation.
Results speak for themselves. We've implemented over $1.5 million of annualized cost savings to date, and total expected reductions will exceed $2.5 million by June 30th later this year.
We've reduced our monthly cash burn by over 50%, and this is a structural reset of our expense base and not just a temporary bump. I want to be clear: this is not about demand-side cuts; this is about platform modernization and building a more efficient, more scalable platform for the years and decades ahead.
Our goal is simple: building a business that's scalable, with materially better unit economics and a more durable, multifaceted earnings profile. Let me talk to you a little bit about how we think about the business.
We now think about Pineapple as one integrated operating system built around three core pillars. The first is the mortgage platform.
This remains to be our core foundation and fundamental. It drives origination, relationships, and cash flow—a real operating business with a concrete footprint in the Canadian mortgage market and growing.
Canada's mortgage market is structurally resilient. Let me talk to you a little bit about how it differs from that of the US market.
The US market may see more longer-term 30-year mortgages. We have more short-term mortgages, typically between 1 to 5 years.
This short-term renewal cycle creates a reoccurring pipeline of refinance and renewal activity that continues to drive business independent of new home purchases. Q2 revenue was $0.7 million, and supported by stable subscription revenue and diversified income streams.
Now, the second component is data and tokenization. We've been collecting mortgage data for years across our expansive network.
Now it's about structuring, standardizing, and ultimately monetizing it. This is the path toward lender-facing, recurring revenue products and a higher-margin revenue mix.
Our third is digital asset treasury. This is about capital efficiency and yield generation within a structured, governed framework.
As of February 28, the DAT was valued at approximately $22.4 million and comprised primarily of approximately 7.21 million INJ tokens, Injective tokens. During this period, we generated $221,718 in staking revenue.
This is a new, incremental, reoccurring income stream, and that's just the start. We've assembled the best-in-class institutional infrastructure: the Injective Foundation, Kraken, FalconX, Monarq, and Canary Capital, covering custody, execution, advisory, and yield optimization.
We've also selectively deployed capital through lending arrangements and structured derivative strategies to generate incremental yield while maintaining strict risk controls. The key point here is that these are not three separate businesses.
These are designed to reinforce one another, and the value compounds through integration. How do our Q2 results fit into that?
When we look at the second quarter, it was really about execution against the model. We completed the operational reset.
We strengthened the cost structure and reduced cash burn. We generated over $220,000 in staking income, a new, tangible revenue stream.
We authorized a $15 million share repurchase program, expected to commence in the coming days to reinforce our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and long-term shareholder value. Our balance sheet is the strongest position it's ever been: $17.9 million in cash, $3.1 million in positive working capital, and a treasury valued at approximately $22.4 million.
This was not a quarter of new ideas; it was a quarter of putting our foundation in place and delivering tangible results. Now, we'd like to pass the line to Anthony, who's going to put the Q2 financials into greater context.
Anthony?
Anthony Georgiades
Absolutely. Thanks for that, Shubha.
I just wanted to take a quick moment to sort of really reframe the quarter a bit because I think it's critical that investors understand the underlying performance relative to some of the reported numbers directly, and also just really understand the magnitude of what's actually changed inside the business over the last 6 and 12 months. If you look at the headline number, there's obviously a reported net loss of of roughly $19 million or so.
That really reflects three non-core and largely non-cash items. You have a $17 million unrealized non-cash mark-to-market adjustment on digital assets.
Obviously, the digital asset landscape has been largely volatile over the last several months related to both monetary policy as well as a number of different global and macro concerns. Simultaneously, this quarter reflected the consummation of the PIPE transaction that officially went through in January.
There's $2.8 million of one-time financing costs associated with said PIPE that hit the quarter. There's also around $2 million or so of fair value changes in different instruments such as warrant liabilities, as well as incremental interest expense tied to the treasury strategy, that interest being largely PIK and non-cash pay.
If you normalize for that, what you see is really a business that has undergone a material financial and operational inflection. To quantify that for a moment, we generated positive adjusted operating income of approximately $125,000, which while on the face might seem de minimis, if you compare that to the previous year where on the same metric the business generated a negative loss of around $2 million and around minus $500,000 for the same period, that's a roughly 150% plus improvement in operating performance and a swing from both cash flow negative generation to cash flow positivity.
Adjusted EBITDA as well came in at roughly half a million dollars versus a loss of roughly $600,000 last year—a $1 million improvement on a three-month basis year-over-year, or roughly 165% swing on a relative basis. What's important to really understand here is that that improvement was achieved while maintaining a relatively stable revenue base in a still-constrained mortgage environment.
This tells you this is not really a cyclical improvement. This is structural and has to do with a lot of what Shubha had alluded to.
This is really kind of where the narrative and and work sits. Over the last two quarters, we executed a full operating model reset.
As Shubha mentioned, we reduced fixed costs materially, we rationalized vendor and software spend, and we reoriented the work floor force towards a more technology-enabled model. Simultaneously, we've begun embedding AI across a number of different core workflows.
To date, we've implemented over a 1.5 million in annualized cost savings with line of sight to around 2.5 million later this court this calendar quarter, which will take us to breakeven on a cash flow and operating basis going forward. That equates to, as Shubha mentioned, a 50% plus reduction in lumpy cash burn.
I want to be clear on one thing as well. This was a very deliberate re-architecture of the cost base to really support a more scalable, capital-efficient platform.
These quarterly earnings are really the first time we're actually starting to see this trickle through the numbers here. What that means going forward is higher incremental margins, stronger operating leverage, and really a business that can compound earnings without scaling costs linearly.
Now stepping back to look at the balance sheet, because, this is where a lot of the transformation begins and becomes far more evident itself. The business has obviously 50x plus its overall cash balance, largely by way of the PIPE transaction that took place several months ago.
We're also sitting at a positive working capital of roughly $3.5 million versus a deficit in the prior period. The slide here references a $22.4 million digital asset treasury.
I do want to just clarify that that's roughly $22.4 million of INJ at fair market value. There's also stablecoins that are outstanding, as well as a meaningful cash position.
We actually look at the digital asset component on a fair market basis closer to around $45 million in in liquid and liquid equivalent assets. From a liquidity standpoint, to that vein, we now have, several years of operational runway, which gives us the ability to execute deliberately without really dependence on external capital or really shareholder-dilutive capital sources.
This is a fundamentally different company than really what it was 12 months ago. To spend another minute or so on the digital asset treasury, because I think it's still somewhat maybe misunderstood or underappreciated: at a high level, we think about the DAT as a structured capital allocation program, not necessarily passive balance sheet exposure.
As I mentioned and as Shubha alluded to, we've generated several hundred thousand in staking income during the period, which has become a new, recurring yield stream. We only forecast that to continue to grow as we continue to execute and deploy and stake a variety of the these different instruments.
That's really just the base layer. Where we've also really been focused is active yield generation within a disciplined framework.
This includes structured derivative strategies, including writing puts to generate premium against our underlying INJ positions; accumulator-style exposures, which allow us to systematically build position at favorable levels, meaningful discounts to open-market transaction or purchases; also secured and unsecured lending strategies, where we deploy assets to generate incremental yield; and broader market-neutral or partially hedged strategies to enhance returns while managing volatility. All of this is done within a governed framework: defined liquidity thresholds, position limits, counterparty diversification, and board-level oversight.
Importantly, we've really built a first-class, institutional-grade stack around this, working with groups like FalconX on prime brokerage and lending, working with groups like Kraken on OTC transactions, working with groups like Monarq and Canary on structuring trades and structuring products. Each of these different counterparties handles very distinct functions across custody, execution, advisory, and yield generation strategies overall.
From a valuation standpoint, we've also introduced mNAV, which we think is an important lens for investors overall. At quarter-end, mNAV was approximately 0.73 times.
In other words, what mNAV signifies is fully diluted enterprise value of the business relative to the fair market value of its underlying crypto holdings and digital asset holdings itself. In other words, the market is valuing the company at a relative discount to the underlying asset base before fully attributing value to the operating platform itself or potential forward earnings power.
Obviously that dislocation is something we're very focused on, which leads us really directly to capital allocation. We've chosen to authorize a $15 million share repurchase program.
The board's approved an initial $3 million tranche, which we're expecting to commence imminently in the coming days. We'll operate within Rule 10b-18 parameters.
We'll have an initial ceiling in terms of price per share in the open market that we're going to be acquiring at in terms of $1.50. Obviously that's subject to board oversight.
At current levels, the board and management see compelling risk-adjusted return in our own equity, and this gives us a disciplined mechanism to act on that. The last thing I want to touch on briefly is, really where the business is is going from here.
We've alluded to this both in terms of what we've done on the cost reduction side, what we've done with respect to really re-architecting the business. The next phase of the platform is really focused around intelligence and automation.
We've already begun embedding AI across onboarding, across underwriting workflows, across customer engagement. That's really just the tipping point and starting point.
As we continue to structure and tokenize the underlying data layer and integrate that across our platform, we believe there's a real opportunity to continue to build out and execute on software-driven, high-margin, recurring revenue products that sit on top of really the existing mortgage infrastructure: think automated underwriting support, data-driven lender products, intelligent lead routing, conversion optimization, and potentially, eventually, AI-native financial workflows. Directionally, we're very, very excited about where the platform is heading.
We've already made tremendous progress in that respect, and we're excited to obviously continue to execute on the strategy from here.
Thank you, Shubha. Thank you, Anthony.
Appreciate your comments. We'd now like to take some time to review several questions that have come in.
If you haven't submitted a question yet and would like to do so, please type in the Q&A function now. First question, and this is for you, Anthony: Pineapple has spent the last several quarters repositioning the business from the build-out phase towards execution and operating discipline.
Could you, at a high level, tell us how investors should think about what has changed inside the business and why this is an important moment for the company?
Anthony Georgiades
Definitely. I guess to kind of rephrase what's kind of actually changed inside the business.
The cleanest way to think about it is we've really transitioned from a general build phase into an execution phase. That execution It's really predicated and supported by a much larger balance sheet, as well as a much more data-driven and software-driven and intelligence-driven initiative towards new revenue streams.
Over the last 12, 18 months or so, we invested heavily in infrastructure, heavily in capital formation, and significantly in a lot of the platform development. A lot of that work is largely behind us.
You're starting to see that in the numbers already as a result of that transition. We've moved from an adjusted operating loss to a positive adjusted operating income, and EBITDA has as well moved from a meaningful deficit to positive.
At the same time, and obviously directly related, we've reduced monthly cash burn significantly. This isn't really a forward-looking story in that respect anymore in terms of forward growth.
It's already showing up in the financials. The organization is now far more aligned around execution, efficiency, and capital discipline.
That's where our focus remains. Now we're doubling down on areas of growth across those different streams that really take this business into the next phase of its evolution.
Excellent. Thank you, Anthony.
That was great. Another question for you: as you have described, this is a structural reset of the operating model.
Can you walk us through what that reset involved and what it enables going forward in terms of margins, efficiency, and scalability?
Anthony Georgiades
Absolutely. I think this one's important, too, because there are a lot of organizations and enterprises that go through the motions in terms of these sorts of re-architectures and cost reduction exercises and what not, and to some extent they're feel-call efforts or temporary in nature.
We approached this reset as a permanent re-architecture, not any sort of temporary cost reduction exercise. Management went through the business line by line—vendor stack, software, operational workflows, workforce—and really aligned everything around a more efficient, technology-enabled model.
A key component of that, as we've discussed, was how can we really embed AI across core functions, whether that's onboarding, whether that's data processing, whether that's customer engagement, and how do we use that to leverage and to scale without adding incremental variable costs or incremental fixed costs to the platform. Obviously, as we've discussed, we've been able to both implement a more efficient, robust platform while simultaneously doing that with an estimated $2.5 million of savings on a net-net basis.
Really the more important point is what that enables, right? We have a much more structurally lower fixed cost base, which means, generally speaking, as revenue continues to grow, whether from the mortgage platform, whether from data initiatives, whether from treasury income, we anticipate and meaningfully expect higher incremental margins.
That's the operating leverage we've been talking about, that's the operating leverage we're focused on unlocking overall.
Wonderful. Thank you, Anthony.
That's some exciting time moving forward for the company. Taking a deeper look at the mortgage platform, and Shubha, I think this is a good question for you: what specific actions have been taken to improve agent productivity, retention, and overall unit economics?
What early indicators are you seeing from these initiatives? Shubha?
You're on mute. Can
Shubha Dasgupta
you hear me okay?
We got you.
Shubha Dasgupta
All right. I was saying, Jack, as an organization, we've spent so much time with a focus around our agents and ensuring that we're optimizing their businesses and enhancing it to increase our revenue, increase our margins, and increase our potential.
We're constantly having meetings, we're finding minor areas of improvement and how can we make this platform better. Over the last couple of quarters, we've continued to invest into a area with workflow automations, continuous enhancements, and significant and fancy lead generation tools through Pineapple Cloud, through proprietary technology stack.
All of these things, plus above, are translating directly into our productivity. To give you some early indicators that are really encouraging that we've noticed here in the organization, subscription revenue has increased to $210,000, over $210,000 this quarter, which is up from about $185,000 in the prior-year period.
What that tells us is that our agents are engaged and seeing value in the platform. Six-month mortgage volume continues to increase and move on the upward trajectory, as I referenced earlier, albeit modest right now.
It's a really good indicator to show that the work that we are doing is very resilient even in difficult markets and in trying times. We think that we're continuously making impacts, continuously making improvements, and continuously focused on efforts to increase the productivity of our platform and the users of it.
Excellent. Thank you, Shubha.
Just kind of to follow up on that, from a market perspective, renewal and refinance activity appear to be driving a greater share of the mortgage volume today. Can you talk a little bit about how Pineapple's platform position will benefit from that shift?
Shubha Dasgupta
Yeah. The the Canadian mortgage market has so much opportunity in various segments of opportunity that are driven in different cycles.
We went through a phase years a couple of years back where homebuying and investment purchases were the significant drivers of the mortgage market and of our business. As the years have evolved and changed, we've seen kind of the cyclical nature of mortgages and which vertical becomes more prominent as compared to the other change with it.
Today we're seeing a larger focus and activity around that renewal and refinance. Why is that?
Statistically, almost 60% of Canadian mortgages will be coming up for renewal in the next few years. We saw the biggest purchase in year on record happen in 2021 when five-year fixed rates were at all-time lows.
That brings you right to today where a lot of those mortgages that happened in a record year are coming up for renewal and coming up for maturity. That gives us an incredible opportunity to capture this reoccurring pipeline of renewal business to deliver value to our clients and drive revenue back towards us.
We're also seeing a shift in the interest rate landscape here in Canada. Over the last few months, or sorry, the last few years, Bank of Canada, as well as our bond market, has continued to move in a downward trajectory.
Bank of Canada has reduced interest rates by over 200 basis points, and our bond yields have dropped the same, which have reflected over into lower fixed costs and fixed-rate mortgages. Both of these two have allowed us to go back out to the market and Canadians that bought a mortgage over the last couple of years at significantly higher interest rates, and refinance them into lower, more acceptable rates.
This allows us to reduce their monthly liabilities, allows them to live a little bit more comfortably, and certainly helps us drive more revenue into the business. This is one of the core aims of Pineapple: really capturing this reoccurring revenue.
We've built and designed it in a way that we have triggers and milestones that will drive these opportunities right to our sales force, will put it at the top of their dashboard so that they can see which customers they need to work with and how they can help them find solutions for their specific mortgage needs. Over the last couple of quarters, as you can see from financial results, this has been paying off for us.
We're seeing more volume, more agents, and more productivity.
Thank you, Shubha. Next question, this one's for you, Anthony.
This quarter's reported results are significantly impacted by non-cash digital asset revaluation and one-time financing costs. How should investors think about the underlying operating performance of the business, particularly in light of the improvements in adjusted operating loss?
Anthony Georgiades
Yeah. I'd delineate really the accounting from the operating reality.
The reported loss is almost entirely driven by three items, as you mentioned, right? You have a non-cash mark-to-market adjustment on digital assets of roughly almost $17 million.
You have one-time financing costs tied to the actual transaction itself, close to $2.8, $3 million bucks overall. There's also incremental interest expense pertaining to the DAT strategy overall.
None of these really reflect the core recurring performance of the platform itself. Normalizing for these takes us to obviously the adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA.
Looking at those same adjusted metrics on a year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter basis, we're seeing obviously a meaningful swing and movement towards positivity rather than operating at a deficit, which is exactly what we've been guiding for the last several months. Now we're on track to be at cash flow positivity by the end of calendar Q2, by the end of June of this year.
Importantly, overall, the digital asset adjustments of unrealized and non-cash aren't things that, as it stands today, digital asset treasury contemplates or forecasts will become realized at any point in the near term. From our perspective, the real, more important and relevant lens is that cost structure is improved, cash burn has materially reduced, and our operating trajectory, as we've guided, has actually moved ahead of forecasts towards breakeven, which we anticipate occurring in the coming months.
That's the true underlying story.
Thank you, Anthony. Turning to data and tokenization, Pineapple's framed this as a natural extension of the core mart mortgage platform.
Can you walk us through how the company is thinking about unifying its data assets and what key milestones investors should be watching over the next few months, sorry, over the next few quarters? Anthony, I think this is a good one for you.
Anthony Georgiades
Sure. The data tokenization opportunity is, to be specific, not a separate initiative.
It's a natural extension of the underlying platform. Mortgage finance, whether it's in Canada, whether it's the US, whether it's anywhere globally, still operates on an extremely fragmented, unstructured data set: documents, PDFs, siloed systems.
What we've been doing and what we've had success doing is taking that disparate, unstructured data that we've accumulated over years across the mortgage network and converting it into structured, verified, highly cleaned and centralized data sets that can subsequently be tokenized or licensed or offered in the form of API subscriptions to a constituent of third parties, whether that's lenders, whether that's hedge funds, institutional asset managers, data providers, you name it. This has really created the foundation for things like internal automated compliance workflows, lender-facing analytics, and ultimately, as I just alluded to, recurring software-driven revenue streams.
The key point is that we already own the data. This isn't about necessarily going out and trying to find and procure incremental data sets.
This is about monetizing an existing asset base, not building something wildly speculative. In the near term, investors should really be on the lookout for announcements pertaining to pilot programs, validation, POCs, et cetera.
Over time, we believe this becomes a very high-margin, lucrative layer on top of the core platform.
Thank you, Anthony. Next question is for Shubha.
Shubha, the digital asset treasury is a newer component of the story. Can you explain how this strategy fits in with the broader operating model and how you're approaching yield generation alongside liquidity and risk management?
Shubha Dasgupta
Absolutely. From a risk management perspective, just to kick it off, it would be remiss of me not to note that we have an exceptional special advisory committee led by Anthony on this call that has done a tremendous job from a board perspective to build out and develop this digital asset treasury and really optimize it to where its potential can be.
The DAT for us and how we look at it is, it's about making our capital work. We're generating a staking yield.
I referenced earlier in this call a couple of times over $200,000 over this period. We think this is a new, incremental, and reoccurring revenue stream.
This is yield, it's real yield on capital that would otherwise be sitting idle. As I referenced just a moment ago, the keyword here around risk is discipline.
We maintain minimum operating cash reserves. We're not using leverage aggressively.
We're not rehypothecating assets. We've built out an institutional-grade infrastructure.
We have Kraken for custody, FalconX for execution, Monarq for advisory, and Canary Capital for yield optimization. This is a very, very well-governed program and not a speculative.
Thank you, Shubha. Anthony, can you expand on the governance framework around the treasury, including how decisions are made and what safeguards are in place to ensure it supports the operating business?
Anthony Georgiades
Definitely. Risk management overall is foundational to how we've built the program, generally speaking.
The treasury operates under a policy framework with clearly defined parameters: liquidity thresholds, position limits, concentration guidelines, and really approval protocols at both management, board, and counterparty level, including our asset managers. Every significant deployment decision goes through that process.
On the execution side, we've deliberately separated custody, execution, advisory, and yield functions across a consortium of independent institutional partners, whether that's Kraken, FalconX, BitGo, Monarq, or Canary Capital. There's no single point of failure or concentration risk in our counterparty exposure overall.
On the risk management side, we maintain significant cash positions. We've also built a surplus of working capital.
Historically, the business has operated at a working capital deficit, and we've been able to shift from working capital deficit to positive working capital in the range of plus $3 million, which is really in excess of our floor in terms of minimum cash reserves. Based on current operating burn, we estimate in really a downside scenario that there's at least several years of operational runway.
The treasury enhances that overall financial position, doesn't put risk on the operating business, but rather enhances it and complements it with incremental yield.
Great. Now with a share repurchase program in place, how should investors think about the framework that you'll use to evaluate when and how to deploy capital into buybacks?
Anthony Georgiades
Yep. I guess first and foremost, we view buybacks strictly through a capital allocation lens.
When we look at the business today, when you look at our cash position, when you look at our treasury value, and when you look at the operating platform that we've been building and evolving and, obviously, driving going forward, we see a clear disconnect between intrinsic value and market pricing. Last quarter-end, mNAV was approximately 0.73 times, which implies the market is valuing the underlying crypto at a discount to the liquidation value of its underlying assets on an enterprise value basis, and providing no intrinsic value to any other of the assets of the business itself, such as the operating platform, mortgage platform, or various speculative growth initiatives we're engaging on.
With that in mind, we've authorized a $15 million share repurchase program with an initial $3 million tranche that's going to be deployed and commenced in the coming days. We're going to be executing this within Rule 10b-18 guidelines, subject to board oversight.
We have an initial threshold set, $1.50 per share in terms of the maximum price per share we'll acquire at. We'll remain disciplined, always weighing buybacks against alternative uses of capital.
Where we see obviously a compelling risk-adjusted return, we're prepared to obviously act and execute on.
Great. Thank you, Anthony.
I think we have time for one more question. Shubha, this one's for you.
Looking ahead to the balance of 2026, what are the key execution priorities for management, and how should investors measure progress as Pineapple moves towards improved operating leverage and a more durable earnings profile?
Shubha Dasgupta
Sure. I think I can round this question off for us and close this question off by tying together everything that Anthony and I have been talking about here today in three priorities.
First being continuing to scale operating leverage on our mortgage platform. This means continuing to drive revenue growth while holding cost structure flat.
We believe internally as management and boards, we believe and we know that we can scale this business multiple X without any movement on our operational expenses. We've already given guidance to a full-year revenue in the range of about $7 to $9.5 million on a run-rate basis going up until the end of this calendar year, and we're targeting breakeven on a cash flow basis.
That's certainly something that investors will want to keep an eye on as one of the metrics to keep close attention to. Second, on the advancement of our data and tokenization roadmap and pages from what I've been detailing, from development into commercialization, investors can definitely keep a watch out for pilot programs, vendor partnerships, POCs, and everything else as we begin to really push this product into real-world environments.
Finally, third is continuing to build yield on our digital asset treasury and demonstrating that the governance framework's work is designed. Staking income should grow, and the program will mature.
The ways to measure it, it's pretty straightforward: keep watching our adjusted operating income, our EBITDA trajectory, cost per funded loan, subscription revenue trends, and our staking income. Those are the metrics that will tell you and guide you whether the execution that we're implementing on a daily basis is working.
We're confident it is, and we expect that that will show and reflect over the coming quarters. We are continuously thankful for all of our supporters and shareholders.
Thank you, Shubha, and thank you, Anthony. That concludes today's fireside chat.
On behalf of Pineapple Financial, thank you to everyone who joined us today. A replay of today's discussion will be made available through the company's investor relations website and social channels.
Please contact [email protected] if you have further questions that we were not able to address today on the call. Thank you, everyone, and until next time.
