Fiscal Year 2026

Second quarter results were heavily impacted by external shocks, including a sharp rise in fuel prices and the suspension of Cuba operations, leading to a net loss of CAD 79 million. Mitigating actions and liquidity support are underway, with gradual recovery expected by year-end.
-
Q1 2026 saw 5% revenue growth and a 68% rise in adjusted EBITDA, with net loss narrowing sharply year-over-year. Network diversification, cost control, and new initiatives like a loyalty program support ongoing momentum, despite operational disruptions and Cuba suspension impacting Q2.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Fiscal 2025 saw record adjusted EBITDA and improved profitability, despite Q4 headwinds from lower compensation and higher provisions. Strategic network expansion, cost optimization, and debt reduction position the company for margin growth and positive free cash flow in 2026.
-
Revenue rose 4.1% to CAD 766 million with Adjusted EBITDA of CAD 81 million, driven by strong South program demand and cost initiatives. Net income surged due to a CAD 345 million debt gain, while capacity and network expansion continue amid competitive and economic pressures.
-
Q2 2025 saw 5.9% revenue growth and a sharp rise in adjusted EBITDA, aided by cost control, lower fuel prices, and a CAD 20 million non-cash compensation. Debt restructuring halved outstanding debt, and network expansion targets new markets, though European bookings remain soft.
-
The meeting covered board elections, auditor appointment, amendments to the Employee Share Purchase Plan, and an advisory vote on executive compensation. Strategic updates highlighted the Elevation Program's progress, ongoing debt challenges, and shareholder engagement issues. All resolutions passed with strong support.
-
Revenue rose 5.6% to CAD 830 million in Q1 2025, with adjusted EBITDA at CAD 20 million and improved operational metrics. Yield gains and cost controls offset macroeconomic headwinds, while debt refinancing and capacity discipline remain priorities.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 2024 saw strong adjusted EBITDA growth, improved yields, and higher revenues, aided by cost reductions and compensation for grounded aircraft. The Elevation Program is progressing, with $25 million in run rate improvements, and 2025 is expected to bring positive yields amid cautious optimism.
-
Q3 results were pressured by industry overcapacity, lower yields, and engine issues, leading to a net loss and reduced EBITDA. The Elevation program targets CAD 100 million in EBITDA improvements, while a stable fleet and new partnerships are expected to support future growth.
-
Double-digit revenue growth continued in Q2 2024, but profitability declined due to lower yields, competitive pressures, and operational challenges. Debt repayments and operational improvements strengthened the financial position, while the Porter Airlines JV and internalized ground operations are expected to drive future growth.
