Avante Sets Q3 Call: Focus on Growth in Elite Security Market
TORONTO, Ontario – February 27, 2026 – Avante Corp. (TSX.V: XX), a provider of high-end, technology-enabled security solutions, has announced it will host an investor webinar on March 3, 2026, to discuss its fiscal third-quarter results. As investors and analysts prepare for the update, all eyes are on whether the company can sustain the impressive growth trajectory it has established over the past year.
The upcoming webinar, led by CEO, Chairman, and Founder Emmanuel Mounouchos and CFO Raj Kapoor, will cover the financial period ending December 31, 2025. For a company that has carved out a unique niche in providing "white-glove" security to high-net-worth families and corporations, these quarterly check-ins are crucial barometers of its strategic execution and market traction. The discussion is expected to provide insights not just into past performance, but also into the future direction of a company navigating the complex global security landscape.
A Track Record of Accelerating Growth
Investors heading into the Q3 announcement will be looking for a continuation of the powerful momentum Avante demonstrated in the first half of its fiscal year. The company has set a high bar, reporting two consecutive quarters of positive net income and robust, double-digit revenue growth.
In its second quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended September 30, 2025, Avante posted consolidated revenue of $8.88 million, a 10% year-over-year increase. This was driven by exceptional performance in its Secured Transport division and its international operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations saw a significant 73% jump to $0.58 million, signaling improved profitability. A similar story unfolded in the first quarter, with revenue climbing 11% to $8.8 million.
A key metric for the company and its observers is Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR), which speaks to the stability and predictability of its business model. In Q2, Avante’s RMR from its core security segment reached $4.7 million, a 27% increase from the prior year. This followed a 25% surge in Q1, where RMR accounted for 46% of total revenue. Maintaining this RMR growth will be a critical data point in the upcoming Q3 report. Furthermore, the company has consistently boasted a client retention and renewal rate of 98%, a testament to the value its clients place on its specialized services.
Redefining Elite Security: The Mounouchos Vision
The recent success is intrinsically linked to the return of founder Emmanuel Mounouchos, who rejoined as CEO in April 2022. Mounouchos, who originally founded the company in 1996, has brought a renewed focus and an ambitious vision for global expansion. He has consistently articulated a strategy that differentiates Avante from the broader security market.
The company's core philosophy is not simply to provide security personnel or install alarms, but to merge cutting-edge technology with a highly skilled, responsive security force. This "white-glove mentality" is aimed squarely at a clientele whose security needs are complex and mission-critical. Leadership has previously noted that in this specialized niche, Avante is fortunate to have few direct competitors who can replicate its integrated model of technology and elite manpower on a global scale.
This vision extends beyond just serving its home base in Toronto. The company's leadership has expressed ambitions to replicate its successful model in other high-net-worth communities across North America and beyond, potentially through a franchise-like structure that would allow other security firms to adopt the Avante brand and technology platform. This strategic outlook suggests that any updates on expansion plans during the webinar will be closely watched.
The Dual Engines of Growth: Acquisitions and Innovation
Avante's growth strategy rests on two pillars: strategic acquisitions and relentless organic innovation. The upcoming Q3 results will be the latest test of this dual-engine approach.
On the acquisition front, the most significant recent move was the majority stake purchase of North Star Support Group S.R.L. (NSSG), a Romanian-based security firm, effective October 2023. This acquisition has been a powerful growth driver, supercharging Avante’s international revenue. For instance, in Q1 of fiscal 2026, NSSG's contribution fueled a 126% year-over-year revenue increase from that division. Investors will be keen to hear how the integration of NSSG is progressing and its continued impact on the company's top and bottom lines.
Simultaneously, Avante continues to push the boundaries of security technology through in-house development. A recent flagship launch is "WALL-E," a mobile, AI-powered security tower designed for remote and high-risk locations. The practical application of this technology was recently validated when the company secured a deployment for gunshot detection with a regional police force in Ontario. This move into the public sector, alongside its core private client base, could represent a significant new avenue for growth. WALL-E is part of a broader suite of proprietary solutions, including the Argus App, Homeworxx, and the premium Avante Black service, all designed to create a comprehensive and technologically advanced security ecosystem for its clients.
What to Watch for in the Q3 Update
As Avante prepares to pull back the curtain on its third-quarter performance, the investment community will be listening for more than just revenue and profit figures. The webinar presents a critical opportunity for Mounouchos and CFO Raj Kapoor to reinforce the company's narrative and strategic direction.
Analysts have shown cautious optimism. Following strong Q1 results, some analysts maintained a "Buy" rating on the stock, citing the company's growth potential. The market has reacted positively to past earnings beats, suggesting that another strong report could further bolster investor confidence.
Key areas of focus will likely include the ongoing performance of the NSSG acquisition, the growth rate of the high-margin Recurring Monthly Revenue, and any updates on the adoption of new technologies like WALL-E. Furthermore, with the company having paid off its debt and generating positive cash flow, any commentary from CFO Raj Kapoor on capital allocation—whether for further acquisitions, technology investment, or other growth initiatives—will be of particular interest.
The March 3rd webinar will provide the next chapter in Avante's story. It will be a measure of the company's ability to continue executing its multifaceted strategy and solidify its position as a leader in the specialized world of high-stakes, technology-driven security. The details shared will be instrumental in shaping the market's perception of Avante's trajectory through the remainder of fiscal 2026 and beyond.
