Q2 2026 earnings summary11 Dec, 2025

Executive summary

  • Achieved record quarterly revenue of CAD 244.1 million for Q2 2026, up 29% year-over-year, led by strong Canadian and Peruvian growth and strategic market positioning.

  • Maintains low-risk exposure through diversification by commodity, geography, and customer base, with 92% of revenue from senior/intermediate mining companies.

  • Net earnings were CAD 13.9 million (CAD 0.17/share), down from CAD 18.2 million (CAD 0.22/share) last year, reflecting margin pressures and a temporary operational shutdown in Indonesia.

  • Ended the quarter with CAD 14.3 million net cash and over CAD 149 million in available liquidity, after increasing the cash position by CAD 17.6 million.

  • Announced a Normal Course Issuer Bid to repurchase up to 5% of shares over 12 months, aiming to capitalize on share price weakness.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2026 revenue was CAD 244.1 million, up 7.8% sequentially and 29% year-over-year.

  • Adjusted gross margin (excluding depreciation) was 26.0%, down from 30.5% a year ago due to competitive pricing and training costs.

  • EBITDA was CAD 37.7 million, slightly down from CAD 38.7 million last year; net earnings were CAD 13.9 million (CAD 0.17/share) vs. CAD 18.2 million (CAD 0.22/share) last year.

  • Cash position increased by CAD 17.6 million, ending with CAD 14.3 million net cash and over CAD 149 million in available liquidity.

Outlook and guidance

  • Q3 is expected to be seasonally weak due to holiday shutdowns and ongoing training/maintenance, with margins slightly impacted.

  • Positive outlook for 2026, supported by high gold and copper prices, increased junior financings, and rising demand for critical minerals.

  • Labor shortages may temporarily pressure costs, but industry demand is expected to drive pricing and margin recovery.

  • Exploration budgets remain below prior peaks, indicating further upside potential.

  • Increased free cash flow and depleted reserves among producers expected to drive demand for drilling.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
