VIQ Solutions Puts Australian Unit Into Administration to Refocus on Core Markets

VIQ Solutions ( (TSE:VQS) ) has provided an update.

VIQ Solutions has placed its Australian subsidiaries into voluntary administration to concentrate capital and management attention on its higher-performing businesses in North America and the United Kingdom. The move follows a review that found Australian operations were underperforming in a challenging local environment and weighing on group financial results, though services to Australian courts and law enforcement are expected to continue while administrators seek to preserve value for stakeholders.

Preliminary unaudited results for 2025 show estimated consolidated revenue of about $41 million and Adjusted EBITDA of roughly $5 million, with the exclusion of the Australian unit reducing those figures to around $20 million and $3 million respectively as the company targets further efficiency gains in its core markets. VIQ also named veteran finance executive Michael Wolfe as its new chief financial officer from April 1, 2026, and formalized compensation terms for CEO Larry Taylor as he transitions to a full-time role after leading the company without pay while backing insider-led financings.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:VQS) stock is a Hold with a C$0.21 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on VIQ Solutions stock, see the TSE:VQS Stock Forecast page.
