-
Revenue grew 22% year-over-year to $84.5 million in Q2 2026, with strong gains in mining and water segments and rig utilization rising to 51%. Margin recovery is underway as pricing adjustments catch up to cost inflation, and the record backlog provides strong visibility into the second half.
-
Revenue grew 20% year-over-year to $66 million in Q1 2026, with strong gains in North and South America. Margins were impacted by ramp-up costs, but improvement is expected as projects mature and utilization rises in the coming quarters.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 2025 marked a turning point with revenue up 8% year-over-year and a record $404 million order book, 90% from tier one customers. Full year revenue declined, but strong demand, higher utilization, and improved margins are expected in 2026.
-
Q3 2025 revenue declined year-over-year due to contract phasing, but operational discipline and new contract wins in Chile and Canada support a positive outlook. EBITDA margin remained strong at 20%, and the tender pipeline is robust, especially for gold and copper projects.
-
Q2 2025 revenue declined year-over-year but margins remained strong due to cost control and efficiency. New contracts, especially in Latin America, and increased exposure to gold, copper, and water support a positive outlook for the second half of 2025.
-
Q1 2025 revenue fell to $55 million from $77 million year-over-year, mainly due to project delays, regional exits, and FX impacts. Gross margin dropped to 14%, but the water segment saw strong growth, and management expects improved results as operations ramp up.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 and full-year 2024 saw revenue declines due to reduced junior activity, regional exits, and FX, but margins and net income remained resilient. Asia-Pacific delivered record results, while North America and Latin America faced delays. Management expects growth in gold contracts and a stronger H2 2025.

Q3 2024 revenue fell 18% year-over-year, but North America and Australia achieved record results, offsetting declines in South America and EMEA. Margins narrowed, but long-term contracts and new rig deployments support a positive outlook, especially in critical metals and water services.

-
Q2 2024 saw revenue and margins decline year-over-year due to early winter in South America and a strategic pivot to stable jurisdictions, but North America and Asia Pacific achieved record results. Management remains confident in a return to growth as new rigs are deployed and market conditions improve.
