Fiscal Year 2026
-
A 100-plus-rig fleet pairs organic growth with exposure to gold and copper exploration. Record Q2 revenue and improving sequential results accompany contract repricing intended to restore 20% EBITDA margins.
-
Record Q2 2026 revenue of $55.1M was offset by margin compression from inflation and operational challenges, notably in Chile. Profitable performance in West Africa and MENA continues, with a focus on improving execution and restoring profitability in underperforming regions.
-
The company delivers mineral drilling services across Africa and South America, leveraging vertical integration and long-term Tier 1 contracts for stability and growth. Despite a flat Q1, revenue and margins are expected to rebound as contract repricing aligns with rising costs, with strong industry tailwinds from record gold and copper prices.
-
Q1 2026 saw strong drilling demand and high fleet utilization, but margins were compressed by higher labor costs, currency appreciation, and ramp-up expenses in Chile. Margins improved month-over-month and are expected to normalize as the year progresses.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Record revenue growth of 29% year-over-year was offset by margin compression and a net loss due to currency and tax impacts. South America doubled its rig fleet and is now fully focused on Chile, with high utilization expected to drive margin recovery in 2026.
-
Q3 2025 saw revenue growth from South American expansion but a sharp drop in gross margin and a net loss due to upfront costs and regional headwinds. Utilization rates are rising, and management expects margin recovery and improved performance in Q4 as new projects ramp up.
-
Record Q2 2025 revenue and EBITDA were achieved, driven by strong gold prices, strategic expansion into South America, and a diversified client base. Gross margin declined due to higher salaries and currency effects, but industry outlook and rig utilization remain robust.
-
Record Q1 2025 results featured 41% revenue growth, record EBITDA, and 160% higher EPS, driven by strong gold prices, multi-year contracts, and expansion in South America. Rig utilization hit 75%, with continued organic growth and robust demand expected.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Record 2024 revenue and profitability were driven by multi-year contracts and high gold prices, with strong growth across all regions and a bullish outlook for 2025. Nearly all cash flow was reinvested into fleet expansion, and a nominal dividend is likely in late 2025.
-
Q3 2024 saw 13% revenue growth and a return to profitability, driven by new long-term contracts and strong African performance. Gross margin held steady at 26% year-to-date, with robust gold prices supporting industry demand.
-
A leading mineral driller in Africa and South America, the company has achieved record financial results, expanded its rig fleet organically, and shifted focus to Tier One miners for stability. With strong margins, low debt, and trading below book value, it is well-positioned for further growth and sector re-rating.
-
Record Q2 2024 results featured 26% revenue growth and 147% net income surge year-over-year, driven by new long-term contracts and a strategic shift to Tier 1 clients. Management expects continued top-line growth, with seasonality and margin compression moderating EPS.
