Fiscal Year 2025
-
Fourth quarter saw higher timber sales volumes and improved margins, especially in New Brunswick, while Maine faced operational challenges and elevated costs. Full-year results were impacted by the absence of carbon credit sales and ongoing market and tariff pressures, but liquidity and dividend payments remained strong.
-
Third quarter 2025 saw stable demand but lower revenue and volumes, with New Brunswick outperforming Maine. Net income rose year-over-year, and liquidity remains strong. U.S. trade policy and operational transitions in Maine present ongoing risks.
-
Q2 2025 results showed stable demand and strong New Brunswick performance, but Maine faced weather and operational challenges, leading to lower sales and earnings. No carbon credit sales occurred, and the company is ramping up internal logging and progressing on real estate and renewable energy projects.
-
Q1 2025 saw steady demand but lower revenue due to weak pricing and no carbon credit sales. Internal logging in Maine aims to cut costs and boost production, while New Brunswick operations remain strong. Market uncertainty persists, but long-term demand and carbon credit opportunities support a positive outlook.
-
The meeting covered strong 2024 financial results, stable dividends, and major strategic moves including timberland acquisition, renewable energy initiatives, and internalizing Maine logging operations. All directors and auditors were re-elected with overwhelming support.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 sales and earnings declined year-over-year due to weaker pricing and product mix, but full-year 2024 saw record free cash flow and strong carbon credit sales. Internal harvesting in Maine and real estate initiatives are expected to drive operational improvements in 2025.
-
Q3 saw solid sales volumes but lower pricing and net income due to weak end-use markets and product mix. Real estate and carbon credit initiatives are advancing, while refinancing of maturing debt is planned. Contractor capacity remains tight in Maine.
-
Record Q2 results driven by $19.7M in carbon credit sales and strong timber operations, with Adjusted EBITDA margin rising to 50%. Liquidity increased to $25.8M, and further carbon credit sales are expected by year-end.
