Q1 2026 earnings summary
8 Sep, 2026Executive summary
Operations were severely impacted by fuel supply constraints in Cuba, leading to reduced production at the Moa JV and a refinery shutdown in Alberta after quarter-end.
U.S. sanctions expanded in May 2026, forcing suspension of direct participation in Cuban joint ventures and creating significant uncertainty for ongoing operations.
Liquidity remains strained, with available cash below covenant thresholds until a post-quarter equity raise; ongoing discussions with lenders and a proposed private placement are underway.
Financial highlights
Q1 2026 consolidated revenue was $34.0 million, down 11% year-over-year; combined revenue (including Moa JV) was $106.6 million, down 15%.
Net loss from continuing operations was $9.2 million (or $(0.02) per share), a significant improvement from a $40.6 million loss in Q1 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA rose to $7.6 million from $4.4 million year-over-year.
Cash used by continuing operations was $13.1 million, compared to $1.0 million provided in Q1 2025.
Available liquidity in Canada as of March 31, 2026 was $23.3 million.
Outlook and guidance
No updated 2026 guidance issued due to operational uncertainty; full resumption of operations depends on restoration of fuel supply and regulatory clarity.
The company is pursuing additional equity and debt financing, including a proposed private placement with Gillon Capital.
