Leadership Transition: Jamie Porteous will step back from daily operations, with Pauline Dhillon confirmed as the next CEO effective January 1, 2026. Jamie will remain as a strategic adviser.
Domestic Strength: Domestic revenue rose by about 6% year-over-year, driven by e-commerce growth and inflation-based price increases.
ACMI & Charter Headwinds: Revenue from ACMI and charter segments declined year-over-year due to global trade disruptions, tariffs, and lower China flight frequencies.
Margins: Adjusted EBITDA margin remained around 32%, consistent with historical results, as cost control measures offset revenue declines.
CapEx & Fleet: Growth capital expenditures were $22 million in Q3, with maintenance CapEx at $45.5 million; growth CapEx for 2026 is expected to be minimal.
Guidance: Q4 is expected to be stronger than Q3 due to seasonal demand, but the magnitude of the increase will be less than in past years, with 2026 outlook marked by continued uncertainty.
