Thinkific’s third-quarter loss was larger than expected. Still, supplemental company figures show positive adjusted EBITDA and revenue that was nearly flat year over year.
Thinkific Labs Inc. (TSX: THNC) reported calendar EPS of -C$0.079 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with an estimate of -C$0.03. That’s a negative surprise of 163.3%. After meeting or beating estimates in the previous two quarters, the company now faces questions about its larger reported loss, operating targets, and Q4 revenue outlook. Here’s what the results mean for Canadian investors following Thinkific shares.

Investor takeaway: The EPS miss was significant. At the same time, revenue consensus pointed to nearly flat year-over-year growth, and supplemental company results showed adjusted EBITDA of US$1.8 million. Keep that adjusted figure separate from the reported US$3.8 million net loss. Investors will want to see whether the announced cost cuts lead to lasting cash-flow improvements.
EPS: -C$0.079 vs. -C$0.03 estimate
Thinkific’s loss per share was C$0.049 greater than estimated, a negative surprise of 163.3%. In the previous three comparable quarters, the company beat estimates twice and met them once. This quarter ended that run.
Bull case
Thinkific reported Q3 revenue of US$19.0 million, close to the US$18.69 million consensus. Supplemental company results also showed adjusted EBITDA of US$1.8 million, or 10% of revenue. The company expects its reorganization to deliver about US$19 million in annualized savings and is targeting free-cash-flow margins of at least 25% starting in fiscal 2027. Its Articulate integration could also improve the product offering for eligible customers.
Bear case
Calendar EPS of -C$0.079 fell well short of the -C$0.03 estimate. The supplemental release also reported a US$3.8 million net loss, including restructuring costs. Thinkific’s current fundamentals snapshot shows negative TTM EPS and a -1.25% profit margin. Revenue growth expectations are modest, and the savings and free-cash-flow goals have yet to be achieved.
Analysis
For the quarter ended September 30, Thinkific reported calendar EPS of -C$0.079, compared with the -C$0.03 estimate. That’s a negative surprise of 163.3%. The company had beaten estimates twice and met them once in the previous three comparable quarters, making this a sharp change in its recent results. The automatically inserted earnings trend table and chart show the broader history.
Supplemental company results provide more context, but don’t change the EPS miss. Thinkific reported Q3 revenue of US$19.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of US$1.8 million, equal to 10% of revenue. It also reported a US$3.8 million net loss, including restructuring costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, not a substitute for net income or cash flow.
The calendar’s revenue consensus was US$18.69 million, based on two analysts, with estimated growth of 0.6%. Thinkific’s reported revenue was close to that figure, while its loss per share was considerably worse than expected. For more company and share information, visit the THNC stock page.
Analysis
In its supplemental results release, Thinkific forecast Q4 revenue of US$18.9 million to US$19.2 million. Investors will look for signs that revenue holds up as the company works to improve profitability.
Thinkific said its September reorganization is expected to generate about US$19 million in annualized savings. It also set a target of free-cash-flow margins of at least 25% starting in fiscal 2027. These are future goals, not results the company has already delivered. The key question is whether the savings improve ongoing performance without hurting growth. Investors will also be watching the newly announced appointment of a president and chief revenue officer.
Thinkific also announced a native learning-management-system integration with Articulate 360 for eligible joint customers. The integration could strengthen the product offering, but the company hasn’t provided an estimate of its financial impact.
Analysis
The supplied analyst data show an average target of C$2.16, 5.1% below the last close of C$2.28. The consensus is labeled “Moderately Bearish” because the average target is below the closing price. A formal rating isn’t available for this Canadian listing. See the analyst targets section for details.
Wealth Awesome’s statistical 90-day price model, which isn’t financial advice, gives a mean forecast of C$2.73. Its 68% range is C$0.80 to C$9.23, and its 95% range is C$0.24 to C$31.27. These wide ranges show how uncertain the model is. They aren’t price targets. See the THNC forecast section for details.
