Fiscal 2021 ended up as one of the most transformative years yet for Lightspeed, with the Company announcing three landmark acquisitions, launching a series of new offerings such as Lightspeed Capital, eCommerce for Restaurants and Order Ahead, listing on the New York Stock Exchange and delivering innovative strategic initiatives such as Supplier Network and the recently announced integration of Google tools directly into the platform. In addition to these key strategic accomplishments and despite the ongoing challenges presented by the global COVID-19 pandemic, Lightspeed delivered strong results in the quarter and the year with small and medium-sized businesses increasingly adopting the Company's cloud-based commerce platform to enable their omnichannel strategies.

As of March 31, 2021, Lightspeed saw GTV[2] grow to $10.8 billion while achieving record revenues of $82.4 million and customer locations[2] ended at over 140,000 after giving effect to the acquisition of Vend Limited ("Vend"). The Company saw excellent performance from Lightspeed Payments, with revenue from Payments reaching another all time high. Software revenue also pushed higher thanks to existing customers adopting a greater number of software modules and a growing customer base. GTV continued to grow despite challenges in the hospitality sector, with omnichannel retail and the Australia region showing particular strength.

"Our mission to arm entrepreneurs with the technology they need to run and scale their businesses has never felt more relevant.” said Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO of Lightspeed. “We believe our customers will look back on the past year as the time when an omnichannel presence moved to becoming an absolute necessity and on Lightspeed as the partner that helped them get there. While helping our customers meet the challenges of the past year, Lightspeed grew its scale, established itself as a leader in the key U.S. market, launched a series of new product offerings, and continued to deliver strong results.”

“Lightspeed had another record quarter with strong software growth and outstanding results from our payments offering” said Chief Financial Officer Brandon Nussey. “Although we entered the quarter under challenging conditions as lockdown measures increased globally, we saw strength in March and are encouraged by the reopenings we are seeing around the world.”

Operational Highlights

•Total revenues of $82.4 million were up 127% year-over-year thanks to a combination of strong organic[3] growth and the recent acquisitions of Upserve and ShopKeep, which added $31.2 million in revenue. Also, due to renegotiated terms with the payments partner of our recent acquisitions, Lightspeed has gained greater control of the underlying customer relationship and, as a result, is seeing superior economics. Due to this modified relationship, Lightspeed realized increased revenue of approximately $7.4 million in the quarter, along with improved gross profit.

•In the quarter, subscription and transaction-based revenue was $75.3 million, representing 91% of all revenue and growing 137% year-over-year. Organic growth of 48% year-over-year and the recent acquisitions of Upserve and ShopKeep, which added $28.3 million in subscription and transaction-based revenue, accounted for the strong growth.

•For the fiscal year, Lightspeed has segregated subscription revenue from transaction-based revenue, which includes Lightspeed Payments. For the year, subscription revenue grew to $119.3 million, an increase of 51%, largely due to strong organic growth but also assisted by the recent acquisitions of Upserve and ShopKeep. Transaction-based revenues were $83.0 million, up 195% largely due to the success of Lightspeed Payments and to a lesser degree the addition of the recent acquisitions. For Fiscal 2021, Lightspeed had Net Dollar Retention Rates[2] in excess of 100%.

•Lightspeed's customer locations grew to approximately 119,000, an increase of 56% year-over-year. Gross location additions reached a record level in the quarter despite difficult macro-economic conditions. Giving effect to the acquisition of Vend, Lightspeed's customer locations would count over 140,000.

[3] References herein to “organic” growth exclude the impact of any acquisitions that occurred since the end of the prior comparable period so as to provide a consistent basis of comparison.

•ARPU[2] increased year-over-year by 48% to $215. The bulk of this ARPU improvement came from transaction-based revenues largely due to the success of Lightspeed Payments. Software also contributed to year-over-year ARPU increases partially due to an increasing portion of customers taking on multiple modules.

•For the quarter, Lightspeed delivered GTV of $10.8 billion up 76% year-over-year. Excluding our recent acquisitions, the Company continued to see strong growth in Retail with eCommerce growth of approximately 100% year-over-year and total omnichannel retail GTV growth of 65% year-over-year. Organic[3]GTV growth was 25% year-over-year as hospitality continued to be challenged in the quarter. However, as markets re-open, the Company is seeing encouraging signs. For example, Australian merchants, which are predominantly hospitality merchants, saw strong year-over-year GTV growth of over 75% in the quarter.

•The Company is seeing strong momentum recently as March Hospitality GTV grew 10% from February and April grew a further 14% from March.

•Lightspeed Payments volumes continued to grow both year-over-year and from the previous quarter. Payments revenue grew from the third quarter despite the seasonal dip in retail GTV normally associated with fourth quarter trends. Excluding the recent acquisitions of Upserve and ShopKeep, the proportion of GTV processed through Lightspeed Payments continued to increase and was approaching 10% of GTV in the last month of the quarter.

•After the quarter, Lightspeed closed the acquisition of Vend. The acquisition solidifies Lightspeed as a leading global cloud-based commerce platform. Vend was acquired for $204.7 million in cash and the issuance of 2,692,277 of Lightspeed's subordinate voting shares. On a pro-forma basis, when including customer locations from Vend, Lightspeed maintained over 140,000 customer locations globally as at the end of the quarter.

•After the quarter, Lightspeed announced it would integrate Google tools including, Google Local Inventory Ads, Google Smart Shopping Campaigns and Google My Business, directly into its platform. This effort is aimed at improving the discoverability of local merchants on Google's popular search engine as more and more consumers prioritize shopping locally.

Financial Outlook

Lightspeed’s fourth quarter results were strong and characterized by challenging conditions in January and February with March showing robust growth. Given the trends the Company is seeing in markets that are reopening, the ongoing benefits of increased scale and a strong product offering, there is reason for optimism. Including the contribution of the recent acquisition of Vend, Lightspeed anticipates revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

Fiscal 2022

•Revenues of $430 - $450 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately ($30) million, or approximately (7)% as a percentage of revenue.

First Quarter 2022

•Revenues of $90 - $94 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately ($10) million, or approximately (11)% as a percentage of revenue.

When calculating the Adjusted EBITDAincluded in our financial outlook for the first quarter of FY2022, we considered IFRS measures including revenues, direct cost of revenues, and operating expenses. Our financial outlook is based on a

number of assumptions, including that the jurisdictions in which Lightspeed has significant operations do not drastically strengthen or re-strengthen strict measures put in place to help slow the transmission of COVID-19 or put in place new or additional measures in response to the resurgence of the virus; requests for subscription pauses and churn rates owing to business failures remain in line with planned levels; our ability to grow our customer locations in line with our planned levels; our continued receipt of partner referrals in line with planned referral rates (particularly in light of the continued expansion of Lightspeed Payments which competes with the solutions offered by some of these referral partners); customers adopting Lightspeed Payments having an average GTV at or above that of our planned levels; future uptake of Lightspeed Payments remaining in line with past rates and expectations; our ability to price Lightspeed Payments in line with our expectations and to achieve suitable margins; our ability to achieve success in the continued expansion of Lightspeed Payments beyond North American customers; continued success in module adoption expansion throughout our customer base; our ability to successfully integrate the companies we have acquired and to derive the benefits we expect from the acquisition thereof; our ability to attract and retain key personnel required to achieve our plans; our ability to manage customer churn; our ability to manage customer discount and payment deferral requests; and assumptions as to foreign exchange rates.

Non-IFRS Measures

The information presented herein includes certain financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue", "Adjusted Net Loss", "Adjusted Net Loss per Share (EPS)", "Adjusted Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities", "non-IFRS Gross Profit", "non-IFRS general and administrative expenses", "non-IFRS research and development expenses", and "non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses". These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus may highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested

5

parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.

"Non-IFRS gross profit", "non-IFRS general and administrative expenses", "non-IFRS research and development expenses", and "non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses" are non-IFRS financial measures that exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, and in the case of non-IFRS general and administrative expenses and non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses, transaction-related costs.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is calculated as net loss excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction-related costs and restructuring.

"Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Adjusted EBITDA by our revenues.

"Adjusted Net Loss" is defined as net loss excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs and restructuring.

"Adjusted Net Loss per Share (EPS)" is defined as net loss excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs and restructuring, divided by the weighted average number of common shares (basic and diluted).

"Adjusted Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities" is defined as cash flows used in operating activities as adjusted for the payment of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, the payment of compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, the payment of transaction costs assumed through recent acquisitions, the payment of transaction-related costs and the payment of restructuring costs.

See the financial tables below for a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures.

Key Performance Indicators

We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These key performance indicators are also used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.

ARPU. “Average Revenue Per User” or “ARPU” represents the total subscription revenue and transaction-based revenues of the Company in the period divided by the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period.

6

Customer Locations. “Customer Location” means a billing customer location for which the term of services have not ended, or with which we are negotiating a renewal contract. A single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations including physical and eCommerce sites. We believe that our ability to increase the number of Customer Locations served by our platforms is an indicator of our success in terms of market penetration and growth of our business.

Gross Transaction Volume. “Gross Transaction Volume” or “GTV” means the total dollar value of transactions processed through our cloud-based SaaS platform in the period, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We believe GTV is an indicator of the success of our customers and the strength of our platforms. GTV does not represent revenue earned by us.

Net Dollar Retention Rate. We believe that our ability to retain and expand the revenues generated from our existing customers is an indicator of the long-term value of our customer relationships. We track our performance in this area by measuring our “Net Dollar Retention Rate”, which is calculated as of the end of each month by considering the cohort of customers on our commerce platforms as of the beginning of the month and dividing our subscription and transaction-based revenues attributable to this cohort in the then-current month by total subscription and transaction-based revenue attributable to this cohort in the immediately preceding month.

Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this news release represents our expectations as of the date of hereof (or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made), and are subject to change after such date.

Our Adjusted Cash Flows used in Operating Activities for Fiscal 2021 of $37.3 million includes a payment for D&O insurance of $9.4 million which is a new annual expense in Fiscal 2021.

(1)These amounts represent the cash outflow of payroll taxes on our issued stock options and other awards under our equity incentive plans to our employees and directors.

(2)These amounts represent the cash outflow of a portion of the consideration paid to acquired businesses that is associated with the ongoing employment obligations for certain key employees of such acquired businesses, or on certain performance criteria being achieved.

(3)These adjustments relate to the settlement of transaction-related costs of the targets that were outside the regular course of business for our recent acquisitions of ShopKeep and Upserve and which were assumed as liabilities on the relevant acquisition dates. Lightspeed retained amounts in respect of these liabilities on the closing of each transaction that would otherwise have been paid to the sellers in the transactions. These amounts were not reflected in the net loss of Lightspeed given that they were already taken as expenses by the acquired companies prior to the closing of each transaction.

(4)These amounts represent the cash outflows related to professional, legal, consulting, accounting, advisory, and other fees relating to our public offerings and acquisitions that would otherwise not have been incurred.

(5)In connection with the Company's recent acquisitions of ShopKeep and Upserve, certain functions and the associated management structure were reorganized to realize certain synergies and ensure organizational agility.
