AI Summary
Q3 2026

Revenue: Revenue was $184.6 million for the quarter, up 14.9% year-over-year, mainly driven by higher activity in Canada and the U.S.

Margins: Gross margin fell to 14.3% from 19.5% last year, as start-up costs and strategic preparations for ramped-up activity weighed on profitability.

Outlook: Management is highly optimistic for 2026, citing record high commodity prices, increased exploration budgets, and strong junior financing.

Liquidity: Net cash position rose by over $25 million to $39.6 million, with total available liquidity at $177.1 million.

CapEx: CapEx for the quarter was $10.3 million, below guidance, but expected to rise in Q4 (still below the $70 million annual target).

Labor & Supply: Labor availability—not rig supply—is seen as the main constraint for growth; proactive hiring and inventory buildup were undertaken.

Contract Portfolio: Underperforming contracts in South America were terminated and replaced, with expectations of improved regional performance next year.
