Executive summary
Q3 sales rose 20% YoY to CAD 40.8M, the second-highest quarter on record, driven by organic gains and contributions from Be Fire and Venger.
Revenue growth outpaced profitability as input-cost inflation, lower-margin sales mix and higher operating costs pressured margins and Adjusted EBITDA.
Financial highlights
Q3 gross profit increased 13% to $15.1M; gross margin fell to 37% from 39%, while Adjusted EBITDA rose 3% to $6.0M.
Q3 net profit was $0.2M, or $0.01/share, versus $0.8M, or $0.04/share; FX contributed to a $0.4M YoY decline.
9M sales rose 7% to $117.2M and gross profit increased 5% to $43.8M; Adjusted EBITDA fell 2% to $17.8M and net profit declined 80% to $0.8M.
9M net profit reflected the absence of a $1.7M insurance settlement gain in 2025, alongside higher costs and FX losses.
Q3 free cash flow less maintenance capital rose 6% to $3.0M; 9M declined 1% to $9.1M.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects benefits from investments in inventory, products, sales capabilities, facilities and productivity during the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
Cost reductions, subsidiary pricing increases and efficiency initiatives aim to address inflation, improve returns and convert revenue growth into stronger earnings.
New hearth products and higher energy prices are expected to support sales; two fireplace products are targeted for 2027 launch, subject to regulatory approval.
Orchard IQ and IHT cooling mats are expected to support agricultural activity in 2027; cooling mats are expected to launch for sale that year.
