Hello, everyone, and welcome to the 2026 annual shareholder meeting of WSP. Again, this year, we are happy to hold today's meeting in a hybrid format, giving shareholders the option to participate either in person or virtually via live webcast. I will introduce our speakers. Alexandre L'Heureux, President and Chief Executive Officer of WSP. Alain Michaud, Chief Financial Officer of WSP. Joëlle El-Féghali, Corporate Secretary and Deputy General Counsel of WSP. Also joining us today are the following board members of WSP: Martine Ferland, Pascale Sourisse, Linda Smith-Galipeau, Macky Tall, Eric Lamarre, and Claude Tessier. I would like to provide you with some general remarks on the conduct of this meeting. As always, the meeting will be conducted in both English and French. You may choose to follow the meeting in the bilingual format presented in English only or in French only. As we offer simultaneous translation for in-person and remote participants, also questions may be submitted in either language. The meeting agenda contains five matters to be voted on during the business part of the meeting, as set out in the corporation's management information circular dated March 20, 2026. At the meeting, shareholders will, one, receive the audited consolidated financial statements of WSP for the year ending December 31st, 2025, and the independent auditor's report thereof. Two, elect each of the directors nominees who will serve until the end of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are appointed. Three, appoint the independent auditor of WSP for the forthcoming year and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration. Four, consider a non-binding advisory resolution on the Corporation's approach to executive compensation. Five, consider such other business, if any, that may have properly come before the meeting. Please note that we have until 12:00 P.M. Eastern Time to conclude all matters on today's agenda. We will begin with the formal part of the meeting, followed by brief presentations by our CEO and our CFO, and conclude with a question period. Please note that you will be able to vote on each matter throughout the formal part of the meeting by using the voting device if you are present in the room or on the left side of your screen if you are participating through the webcast. After we complete the formal business, the polls will close. If you have voted your shares prior to the start of the meeting, your vote has been received by the corporation scrutineers, and there is no need to vote these shares during the meeting unless you wish to revoke or change your vote. Duly identified registered shareholders and proxyholders can submit their questions at any time during the meeting by entering them in the appropriate tab on the webcast platform or through the voting device. Please note, however, that questions pertaining to any item of business conducted at the meeting will be read aloud at the time such item is presented. All other general questions, including any questions relating to the annual financial statements of the company, will be addressed during the question period at the end of the meeting. If we receive similar questions through the web portal, we will combine them into one question. If you are attending our meeting in person and would like to ask a question verbally, kindly proceed to the microphone in the center of the room when we open the floor for questions. Please ensure that you identify yourself as a registered shareholder or proxyholder before proceeding with your question. If you were not identified as a registered shareholder or proxyholder and would like to ask a question, please access the registration table at the entrance to the room. Any questions that we do not answer during the time available will be addressed at our company website at wsp.com in the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders page that can be found in the investor section. To hold the formal part of the meeting in French, I've asked Alexandre to chair that part of the annual shareholder meeting. Before I ask Alex to come forward, I would like to share a few reflections as your Chairman. It's a pleasure to address you today as we look back on 2025 and the path ahead. As the first year of a new strategic cycle, 2025, we set a strong tone. The results delivered by our teams show a business operating with technical and commercial expertise, discipline, confidence, and real momentum. This was achieved against a complex global backdrop, one that continues to influence our world today. Yet no matter the challenges, the work our people, our Visioneers, do remains essential to the well-being of communities everywhere. The need to future-proof the world's assets persists for our clients and our society at large across safe transport networks, reliable energy and water systems, health, education, and resilient digital infrastructures. This is our mandate. This enduring demand is driven by long-term global trends that fuel our purpose and keep our expertise relevant. It also helps guide where we invest to further strengthen our capabilities. With experienced leadership and local teams rooted in their markets, our financial and operational performance in 2025 reflects our ability to adapt and grow without losing focus. Above all, it is the effectiveness of management and the skill and commitment of our people that turn strategy into action day in and day out. From the Board's perspective, we stay closely engaged on strategy, performance, capital allocation, and risk, knowing when to lean in and when to hold a steady course, always from a perspective of support and challenge. In doing so, the Board and management have remained attentive to the broader geopolitical context, including ongoing developments in the Middle East, where we have a clear focus on our people and the community and continuity of our operations. We continue to invest and support the growing scale and complexity of our work undertaken across the business to meet the clients' needs throughout the world. We also made acquisitions. We made acquisitions such as Ricardo, recently TRC, that added strength in areas of critical importance to our clients, including advisory, the energy transition sector, water solutions, and infrastructure. The Board itself has continued to evolve alongside WSP's ambitions. We were pleased to welcome Pascale Sourisse who is standing for election today and has joined the Governance, Ethics and Compensation Committee, and Eric Lamarre who was elected by shareholders last year and serves on our Audit Committee, now chaired by Claude Tessier. Their experience brings added depth in areas central to our strategy, including digital and AI, advanced manufacturing, defense, mission-critical facilities, advisory, and international operations worldwide generally. I would like to thank all my colleagues on the Board for their insight, sound judgment, strong engagement as we continue to elevate what matters most for WSP's future. Our collective commitment to ethical leadership, sustainability, and responsible corporate citizenship is unwavering. It shapes how we steward the company for the long term on behalf of our people, our clients, and our shareholders. Looking ahead, we are now firmly into the second year of our strategic cycle and building on solid momentum. The Board has strong confidence in WSP's executive team and the strategic direction, and we will maintain a steady focus on enabling disciplined growth, thoughtful capital decisions, and long-term value creation for our shareholders. We remain vigilant and forward-looking, assured that WSP's breadth of expertise, financial strength, and global scale position the company to navigate uncertainty, capture opportunity, and continue partnering with clients to help deliver better outcomes for the communities in which we serve. Before I conclude, I would like to recognize two important milestones. Last month, WSP will mark 20 years as a publicly traded company, two decades on from our initial public offering. This October will be 10 years since Alexandre became our President and Chief Executive Officer. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Alex throughout that decade of his leadership and I've seen firsthand the clarity of his thinking, his ambition, his vision, and the strength of his leadership. During his tenure, WSP has expanded significantly in scale, capability, and worldwide recognition, becoming one of the world's leading professional services companies with a presence and expertise that position us exceptionally well for long-term success. I know I speak for the entire Board, and I suspect for many of you here as well, in congratulating Alex in his upcoming anniversary and thanking him for his remarkable contribution to WSP's growth and transformation. We look forward to continued success whatever the challenges and opportunities. In closing, I want to express our sincere gratitude to the entire WSP community, all our employees, our clients, our shareholders, and all other partners. Your trust and support underpin our ongoing success. We look ahead with confidence, and we do so together. Thank you. Merci. Chris, thank you for your kind words and steadfast partnership throughout the years. It is a privilege to serve as President and CEO, and I'm inspired to continue building WSP's success alongside you, our Board, and our exceptional team. Now on to the formal part of the meeting.

Before we cover WSP recent progress, I want to recognize an important milestone for our company. As shown in today's opening video, this month marks 20 years since WSP became a publicly traded company. WSP has fundamentally transformed and scaled capability and global impact since our initial public offering on the TSX on May 25th 2006, I'm sorry. At that time, we were an engineering company with less than 1,200 employees. Guided by a vision rooted in our local community, we mostly operated in Quebec. While we have grown into one of the world's leading professional services firm with a team of nearly 83,000 professionals, we remain proudly headquartered in Montreal. Throughout the years, we have maintained our agile and entrepreneurial spirit, combining global reach with global expertise to advance our ambitions. Today, we hold the number one position across our core sectors. We're a collective of engineers, scientists and advisors, world shapers and visionnaires dedicated, sustainable and meaningful solutions. Our brand embodies technical excellence, client focus, and a relentless drive to innovate. Building on this momentum, we are well positioned to pursue new opportunities and accelerate our impact within the professional services universe. To propel our ambitions further, we launch our 2025-2027 Global Strategic Action Plan, Pioneer Change for Empowered Growth. It reflects our unwavering commitment to challenge conventional limits, redefine possibilities, and serve as catalysts of transformation, driving the modernization of our industry and shaping a more innovative, sustainable future. In its first year, we have made strong progress. In 2025, we achieved solid net revenue growth, robust profitability, and record levels of free cash flow and backlog, a testament to our diversified platform. In year one of our Strategic Action Plan, we have grown our net revenues by 14.7%, adjusted EBITDA by 17.2% and adjusted net earnings per share by 19%. We strengthen our balance sheet and preserve our flexibility. We continue to invest in expertise that differentiates our business and systems that support high performance and in capabilities to drive future growth. Client demand is responding to structural forces reshaping economies and communities, including aging infrastructure, the energy transition, water security, urbanization and digital transformation. Across sectors, clients are investing to increase resilience and prepare for what's next. We are well positioned to support these priorities and clients increasingly look to WSP for the depth of understanding and leadership they require. To further broaden and strengthen our balanced portfolio, we pursue strategic acquisitions in high-growth markets. [Non-English content] [Non-English content] [Non-English content] POWER Engineers [Non-English content] TRC [Non-English content] POWER Engineers et TRC, WSP [Non-English content] [Non-English content] Microsoft. [Non-English content] Copilot [Non-English content] More broadly, we continue to strengthen how we operate. We progress our Horizon ERP deployments, unify our service model to better support the frontline and expanded our global capability center for greater agility. Together, this sharpens execution, reinforces operational discipline and enables more seamless experiences for clients and employees. WSP's impact starts with our people. It's their technical know-how, dedication to clients and commitment to sustainable progress that allow us to shape more resilient communities. Empowering our workforce is integral to our success. One way we do this is through our employee share purchase plan, Own It, a plan that enables our colleagues to become WSP shareholders. This way, our nearly 20,000 employee shareholders directly benefit from the value they help create and are truly connected to the company's success. We are very proud to offer an ownership plan with global reach, now available in 31 countries, and the number of employee shareholders continue to grow, reaching nearly 20,000 at the end of April. Equally vital to our success is the environment we cultivate for our people, ensuring that their contributions and growth are continually supported. As we strive for operational excellence and sustainable progress, fostering a workplace where our team feels empowered and valued is at the heart of everything we do. We remain focused on developing talent from within and becoming the preferred home for engineers, scientists and advisors. In 2025, we launched our internal [First] framework, established clearer pathways for advancement and invested in development programs centered on leadership, client engagement and executive readiness. This continues to strengthen a culture that values excellence, agility and innovation at every level. As we look to the future and continue to build on our achievements, we will be sharing more on our people initiatives, environmental performance and governance progress in our sustainability report to be published on May 13. It highlights how sustainability is embedded in both our strategy and our client work, and it provides a comprehensive view of how WSP continues to advance responsibly. Before I close, I want to directly address the rise of artificial intelligence and how we think about its role at WSP. We view AI as an enabler, not a substitute for expertise. Our work is rooted in the physical world, where infrastructure decisions carry long-term implications. In the space defined by high stakes complexity and uniqueness, we have the scale required to leverage AI fully and safely. Clients rely on us for judgment, accountability and outcomes they can stand behind. These responsibilities cannot be outsourced to algorithms. Every projects we deliver is shaped by distinct conditions, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. While AI is probabilistic by nature, our clients expect certainty, assurance, and informed decision-making. This is where our engineering, science, and advisory expertise continues to differentiate WSP. Applied deliberately and responsibly, AI helps us move faster, drive innovation, and sharpen our solutions to complex challenges. At the same time, it is reshaping client expectations, reinforcing the value of partners who can combine advanced technologies with deep domain expertise and discipline execution. The fundamentals and market trends underpinning our industry remain very strong, and AI is opening up new opportunities. At WSP, AI does not displace our work, it augments it. It strengthens the value we deliver to clients, and our people's expertise and creativity remain at the center. On that note, I want to thank our teams and clients for their commitment and trust, our shareholders for their confidence, and our Board for its steady guidance and oversight. We will continue to scale with discipline, execute consistently, and accelerate where opportunities are strongest. With the depth and diversity of our platform, I want to underscore my high confidence in our team's capacity to deliver on our strategic action plan objectives and to keep creating long-term value for our shareholders. [Non-English content] Merci. Merci, Alexandre. Bonjour. Good morning, everyone. Twenty twenty-five was a strong year for WSP, marked by the launch of our three-year strategic plan. We delivered a strong full-year performance, reaching the high end of our financial outlook. Revenues and net revenues reach approximately CAD 18 billion and CAD 14 billion, up 13% and 15% respectively compared to 2024. We also reported a record high backlog of CAD 17 billion in 2025, equivalent to approximately 11 months of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA grew to CAD 2.6 billion, up 17% compared to 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 18.3%, up approximately 40 basis points from 2024, in line with our strategic ambition. Adjusted net earnings were up 23%, stemming from accretive acquisition and continued significant productivity gain. As for our cash position, I'm very pleased with our performance in 2025. Our full-year free cash flow total CAD 1.7 billion, representing 1.8x net earnings attributable to shareholders. The strong outcome reflects our ongoing focus on working capital management. [Non-English content] Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Merci, Alain. Now we would like to open things up for the shareholder questions. We will start by answering the questions our shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders sent through the web portal in the order that they were received. If you are a duly identified registered shareholder or proxy holder and wish to ask your question verbally, you can do so by using the microphone located at the center of the room. Please note that we will answer as many questions as possible within the allocated time. Any questions we do not get to during the time available will be addressed on our company website, wsp.com, under the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders page in the Investor section. If we receive similar questions, we will combine them together. Your questions should be addressed to the CEO, who will answer the questions or redirect them as needed. It appears that we have not received any question through the web portal at this time, so we will take questions from shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders, present in the room. If you have a question, please come to the microphone before asking. Your question, please state your full name and confirm whether you are a shareholder or a duly appointed proxy holder. Bonjour, good day. I'm Daniel Gauthier, as a shareholder. Thank you for your presentations, presentation, and congratulations on your 20th anniversary this year of your IPO in 2006. My question is regarding your acquisition strategy. Can you please tell us how you think about growing WSP? Do you have a dedicated team for sourcing potential acquisitions? Thank you. Thank you. Look, our acquisition strategy has always been closely linked to our organic growth strategy. I always like to say that acquisition is not a strategy. It's a mean to execute on your strategy. We've always had a very clear vision of what we wanted to become. We want to become the leading professional services firm in our space and in our market and what we do. M&A has always been a mean amongst others to execute on this strategy and to access that plan. In terms of the process that we follow in terms of M&A, I mean, frankly, it's quite simple. I always look at four criteria when we look at M&A, and they are as follows. First, is there a strategic imperative to do this transaction? As I said before, M&A is not a strategy, but it's a mean. When we unveiled our plan in 2024, we said, for instance, that power would be at the center of our next three-year strategy. When POWER Engineers and TRC came into play, we believe that there was a strategic imperative to pursue those acquisitions, number one. Number two, is there a cultural fit between what we aspire to be and what we aspire to become in this firm? We need to remember that, as I said before, we are led by people, and we exist because of our people. Therefore, the cultural fit is extremely important when you look into an acquisition. The third one is, can we immediately create shareholder value? Can we then, in the future, continue to create shareholder value? Again, I'm here because I have a fiduciary duty to create shareholder value for those who are entrusting us, and that's something that we are going to look into very carefully. The last one, which is oftentimes overlooked by companies that are completing acquisitions and why some companies are going sideways, when they do complete acquisitions, is they don't ask the question, "Can I integrate it?" Because it can make sense strategically. The culture and the fit on paper may be there. It can make sense on paper, and we think we are gonna create shareholder values. At the end of the day, can you integrate the transaction? That's always a question that we are going to review very carefully upstream before we consummate the transaction, so that we don't find ourselves in a deadlock position where we have answered the first three criteria but have not been in a position to answer the fourth one. That's something that I do not alone. I'm supported by an incredible team. We have our General Counsel here that is leading the acquisition effort or the team effort, combined with our finance team and our Global CFO. Last but not least, whether I look at a transaction of CAD 5 million or we look at one of north of CAD 3 billion like we did last year, I always consult with our Board. They've been an incredible sounding board to the leadership team and the management team. Because I feel our Board understand our strategy, I can consult with them and obviously, and look at what is best for the company. Thank you, and keep up the great work. Thank you so much. Yes? Thank you. Good morning. Hussein Aram, I'm a proxy. One for CFO, one for CEO. For the CFO, speaking of the AI, any change to your billing dynamic, how you charge your client? Just give us an call if there's nothing, perfect. For the CEO, any exposure to the Germany and how much you're exposed to the Germany given the expanding fiscal policy? Thank you. Alain you wanna start? No impact at this point. No, there's no conversation with client. There's no play out or understanding? No. Germany is an interesting topic. Right now, I would say that our Central European presence is subscale by our standard. We have, like, close to 4,000 people. We operate actually in France. We operate in the Netherlands. We operate in Spain, Italy. We operate in Belgium and few other countries, and also in Germany. Germany is a highly fragmented market. Obviously the professional services universe in Germany is such that if you want to service a client in any given province or canton in Germany, you need to have a footprint. For us, Germany is early days, I would say. We have close to Well, we have few hundred people at this point in time. We do service global clients from Germany. Obviously Germany is such an important country in Europe that this is gonna be an ongoing review of our strategy for Germany, and time will tell in the years to come whether we can look into having a better and bigger position in the country. I would say—like I said, we have few hundred people, so anything between CAD 20 million-CAD 30 million right now. It's fairly small. Any other questions? Okay. Questions. Alex, are there any more questions from shareholder present in the room? Sorry. That's the question. I'm so well prepared today. Any more question, Alex? No more question. Okay, you take one more. Yeah, sorry. In the last call, the organic growth was a little, like, a little tame. Can you talk about your organic growth outlook for the next 12 months? Organic. The outlook? Yeah. Between 4% and 7%. Okay. Globally. Versus the last year, which was? We were more, like, lower than that last year. Okay. Yeah. Perfect. Thanks. Any other questions? Alex? Others? No. I think that's it. If no questions in the room, it appears that there are no questions submitted through the online platform either and none in the room anymore. I will now turn it over to our Chairman to conclude this meeting. I once again thank you all for your continued support. Thank you. Well, we thank you very much for attending the 2026 annual shareholder meeting of WSP. I believe we have everything it takes to build on this tremendous legacy and further deliver value for our clients, employees, communities, and our shareholders. I therefore thank you, and I thank you very much for attending this meeting this morning. I wish you a good day.

At the same time, it is reshaping client expectations, reinforcing the value of partners who can combine advanced technologies with deep domain expertise and discipline execution.

Speaker 2: Thank you. Look, our acquisition strategy has always been closely linked to our organic growth strategy. I always like to say that acquisition is not a strategy. It's a mean to execute on your strategy. We've always had a very clear vision of what we wanted to become. We want to become the leading professional services firm in our space and in our market and what we do. M&A has always been a mean amongst others to execute on this strategy and to access that plan. In terms of the process that we follow in terms of M&A, I mean, frankly, it's quite simple. Thank you. thank you Look, our acquisition strategy has always been closely linked to our organic growth strategy. look our acquisition strategy has always been closely linked to our organic growth strategy I always like to say that acquisition is not a strategy. i always like to say that acquisition is not a strategy It's a mean to execute on your strategy. it's a mean to execute on your strategy We've always had a very clear vision of what we wanted to become. we've always had a very clear vision of what we wanted to become We want to become the leading professional services firm in our space and in our market and what we do. we want to become the leading professional services firm in our space and in our market and what we do M&A has always been a mean amongst others to execute on this strategy and to access that plan. m&a has always been a mean amongst others to execute on this strategy and to access that plan In terms of the process that we follow in terms of M&A, I mean, frankly, it's quite simple. in terms of the process that we follow in terms of m&a i mean frankly it's quite simple I always look at four criteria when we look at M&A, and they are as follows. First, is there a strategic imperative to do this transaction? As I said before, M&A is not a strategy, but it's a mean. When we unveiled our plan in 2024, we said, for instance, that power would be at the center of our next three-year strategy. When POWER Engineers and TRC came into play, we believe that there was a strategic imperative to pursue those acquisitions, number one. Number two, is there a cultural fit between what we aspire to be and what we aspire to become in this firm? We need to remember that, as I said before, we are led by people, and we exist because of our people. I always look at four criteria when we look at M&A, and they are as follows. i always look at four criteria when we look at m&a and they are as follows First, is there a strategic imperative to do this transaction? first is there a strategic imperative to do this transaction As I said before, M&A is not a strategy, but it's a mean. as i said before m&a is not a strategy but it's a mean When we unveiled our plan in 2024, we said, for instance, that power would be at the center of our next three-year strategy. when we unveiled our plan in 2024 we said for instance that power would be at the center of our next three-year strategy When POWER Engineers and TRC came into play, we believe that there was a strategic imperative to pursue those acquisitions, number one. when power engineers and trc came into play we believe that there was a strategic imperative to pursue those acquisitions number one Number two, is there a cultural fit between what we aspire to be and what we aspire to become in this firm? number two is there a cultural fit between what we aspire to be and what we aspire to become in this firm We need to remember that, as I said before, we are led by people, and we exist because of our people. we need to remember that as i said before we are led by people and we exist because of our people Therefore, the cultural fit is extremely important when you look into an acquisition. The third one is, can we immediately create shareholder value? Can we then, in the future, continue to create shareholder value? Again, I'm here because I have a fiduciary duty to create shareholder value for those who are entrusting us, and that's something that we are going to look into very carefully. The last one, which is oftentimes overlooked by companies that are completing acquisitions and why some companies are going sideways, when they do complete acquisitions, is they don't ask the question, "Can I integrate it?" Because it can make sense strategically. The culture and the fit on paper may be there. It can make sense on paper, and we think we are gonna create shareholder values. Therefore, the cultural fit is extremely important when you look into an acquisition. therefore the cultural fit is extremely important when you look into an acquisition The third one is, can we immediately create shareholder value? the third one is can we immediately create shareholder value Can we then, in the future, continue to create shareholder value? can we then in the future continue to create shareholder value Again, I'm here because I have a fiduciary duty to create shareholder value for those who are entrusting us, and that's something that we are going to look into very carefully. again i'm here because i have a fiduciary duty to create shareholder value for those who are entrusting us and that's something that we are going to look into very carefully The last one, which is oftentimes overlooked by companies that are completing acquisitions and why some companies are going sideways, when they do complete acquisitions, is they don't ask the question, "Can I integrate it?"

That's always a question that we are going to review very carefully upstream before we consummate the transaction, so that we don't find ourselves in a deadlock position where we have answered the first three criteria but have not been in a position to answer the fourth one. That's something that I do not alone. I'm supported by an incredible team. We have our General Counsel here that is leading the acquisition effort or the team effort, combined with our finance team and our Global CFO. At the end of the day, can you integrate the transaction? at the end of the day can you integrate the transaction That's always a question that we are going to review very carefully upstream before we consummate the transaction, so that we don't find ourselves in a deadlock position where we have answered the first three criteria but have not been in a position to answer the fourth one. that's always a question that we are going to review very carefully upstream before we consummate the transaction so that we don't find ourselves in a deadlock position where we have answered the first three criteria but have not been in a position to answer the fourth one That's something that I do not alone. that's something that i do not alone I'm supported by an incredible team. i'm supported by an incredible team We have our General Counsel here that is leading the acquisition effort or the team effort, combined with our finance team and our Global CFO. we have our general counsel here that is leading the acquisition effort or the team effort combined with our finance team and our global cfo Last but not least, whether I look at a transaction of CAD 5 million or we look at one of north of CAD 3 billion like we did last year, I always consult with our Board. They've been an incredible sounding board to the leadership team and the management team. Because I feel our Board understand our strategy, I can consult with them and obviously, and look at what is best for the company. Last but not least, whether I look at a transaction of CAD 5 million or we look at one of north of CAD 3 billion like we did last year, I always consult with our Board. last but not least whether i look at a transaction of cad 5 million or we look at one of north of cad 3 billion like we did last year i always consult with our board They've been an incredible sounding board to the leadership team and the management team. they've been an incredible sounding board to the leadership team and the management team Because I feel our Board understand our strategy, I can consult with them and obviously, and look at what is best for the company. because i feel our board understand our strategy i can consult with them and obviously and look at what is best for the company
