MARKHAM, ON — January 7, 2026 — Leads & Copy — iFabric Corp. (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF) announced today that Intelligent Fabric Technologies (North America) Inc. (IFTNA), its wholly-owned subsidiary, has launched a Roots® branded footwear program, with an initial rollout at a nationwide Canadian wholesale club retailer.
IFTNA designed, developed, and produced the new Roots® footwear assortment, integrating multiple proprietary performance technologies intended to enhance everyday use with respect to comfort, wearability, and freshness. The Company believes footwear represents a significant new finished-product category for IFTNA, with strong long-term potential as consumer demand continues to shift toward performance-driven, technology-enabled products across broader lifestyle segments.
IFTNA expects the initial launch to contribute approximately $8 million in incremental revenue within its first calendar year of distribution, based on partner commitments, with the opportunity to expand into additional styles, seasonal offerings, and channels over time.
Giancarlo Beevis, President & CEO of IFTNA, stated that footwear is a large, underpenetrated category for their technology platform, and this Roots® program is a meaningful step in expanding IFTNA’s finished-product capabilities. Beevis believes this program can deliver compelling value for club members and establish a scalable foundation for future growth by combining strong brand identity with the performance benefits enabled by their proprietary technologies.
Mr. Beevis added that this Roots® footwear program builds on iFabric’s previously announced expansion initiatives, including the launch of Doctor’s Choice® Next Generation scrubs at Walmart U.S., and the deployment of PROTX2® technology into the UK and EU through Marks & Spencer’s adoption for select ‘Autograph Collection’ products. IFTNA expects further new product category expansions in 2026 that leverage IFTNA’s proprietary technologies and finished-goods manufacturing capabilities.

IFTNA, a wholly owned subsidiary of iFabric Corp., develops proprietary textile and surface-treatment technologies and applies them across performance apparel and adjacent product categories.
