Gibson Energy (GEI) Q1 2026 earnings summary

Executive summary

• Achieved a major milestone at Gateway terminal, safely loading the 1-billionth barrel since 2020.

• Macro volatility and geopolitical events temporarily disrupted Gateway exports, but volumes are rebounding in Q2.

• Strategic priorities advanced: organizational restructuring, Chauvin acquisition, and Wink-to-Gateway project.

• Completed $215M equity financing to partially fund Chauvin, demonstrating capital discipline.

• Safety performance remains best in class, and customer base at Gateway expanded by nearly 50% in Q2.

Financial highlights

• Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA was CAD 156 million ($156M), up $1M year-over-year, driven by higher throughput, partially offset by temporary demand disruptions.

• Marketing Adjusted EBITDA reached CAD 3 million ($3M), up $2.5M from Q1 2025 and $3M year-over-year, benefiting from higher differentials and volatility.

• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was CAD 139 million ($139M), down $3M year-over-year due to higher G&A and macro headwinds.

• Distributable cash flow was CAD 74 million ($74M), down $17M year-over-year, reflecting lower adjusted EBITDA and higher replacement capital, interest, and taxes.

• Net loss of $1M, $51M lower than prior year, mainly due to unrealized hedge losses, restructuring costs, and higher depreciation and impairment.

Outlook and guidance

• Confident in 7%+ infrastructure EBITDA per share growth through 2030 and 5% growth for 2026.

• Dividend payout ratio expected to remain elevated until full-year cash flow from Chauvin acquisition is realized.

• Marketing segment expected to remain within prior guidance amid ongoing commodity volatility.

• Corporate costs expected at CAD 17–18 million per quarter in 2026, with cost savings realized in 2027.

• Additional project sanctioning expected to support growth beyond Chauvin-related CapEx.
