Earnings Call: Q2 2026

Jul 30, 2026

Summary

Q2 2026 saw 6% sales growth year-over-year, driven by organic gains and the Be Fire acquisition, which expanded European presence. Adjusted EBITDA rose 1% despite higher costs, and the company strengthened its balance sheet with new financing. Ongoing investments and integration efforts are expected to drive further growth.

Operator

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Decisive Dividend Corporation second quarter 2026 results conference call. At this time, all lines are in listen-only mode. Following the presentation, we will conduct a question- and- answer session. If at any time during this call you require immediate assistance, please press star zero for the operator. This call is being recorded on Thursday, July 30, 2026. I would now like to turn the conference over to Jeff Schellenberg, Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Thank you, operator. Hello, good morning, everyone. This is Jeff Schellenberg. I want to welcome everyone to our Q2 2026 earnings conference call. Q2 2026 marked an important quarter for Decisive, as some significant initiatives were completed in support of both organic growth and growth by acquisition. These completed initiatives included an on-strategy acquisition in our highest returning industry vertical, a CAD 8 million private placement with a strategic investor, a CAD 25 million upsize in our credit facility, a 6% increase in quarterly sales versus Q2 2025, driven by both organic growth and growth by acquisition. Be Fire, which goes to market in Europe under the well-known historic brands, Jidé and Bodart & Gonay, was acquired on June 3rd, 2026. Be Fire designs and manufactures a broad range of European Ecodesign compliant wood burning stoves, fireplaces, and fireplace inserts in a vertically integrated facility in Belgium.

This acquisition marked a major milestone for Decisive as our first transaction in Europe, a strategically important move as it helps diversify Decisive's revenue streams into non-North American markets, where trade uncertainty has created volatility. Further, the acquisition of Be Fire complements the company's other hearth businesses, Blaze King and ACR, as each business within the vertical has unique brands representing products that access a varied range of market segments within their specific geographic markets. The opportunities to introduce the different brands, product designs, and capabilities within those brands across the geographies we operate in is a significant driver of future organic growth potential for these businesses and Decisive. The existing leader who built Be Fire's group of businesses, Jean- Philippe Couasnard, is continuing to lead this business over the next three years.

Jean- Philippe's ongoing leadership, combined with the existing expertise we already have in this segment, will help minimize post-transaction disruption, positioning us to immediately focus on pursuing cross-selling, geographic expansion, and new product development opportunities among the three hearth businesses, including a pellet stove product in development at Be Fire. Further, our existing hearth industry leaders, Alan Murphy with Blaze King and Jason Searle with ACR, together with Chris Goodchild, our COO, have been working closely with Jean- Philippe to build an integration plan for this acquisition, including with respect to cross-selling opportunities for existing and new products each business produces within the network of dealers we have relationships with in the U.K., Belgium, France, and North America.

The first cross-selling opportunities to be pursued are in the European and U.K. markets, given the similar regulatory environments and geographic proximity. We look forward to updating our investors as initiatives in these areas progress. Another significant initiative completed in Q2 2026 was the private placement we completed with L6 in early April. Adding another anchor institutional investor with a long-term approach to investing, including holding an investor rights agreement that allows them to maintain their ownership interest in Decisive in the event of the completion of future capital raises, meant that we are able to complete the Be Fire acquisition while maintaining significant balance sheet strength with our post-acquisition leverage ratio sitting at 3x.

Following the announcement of the Be Fire acquisition, we announced a CAD 25 million upsizing of our credit facility with our banking syndicate, which provided us with CAD 47.5 million in available capacity entering the second half of the year that we can use to fund both organic growth opportunities and support our M&A program. Doing a material acquisition while adding a new anchor investor and upsizing our credit facility are all foundational changes that will provide support for our growth journey as an organization in the future. We saw early returns from the acquisitions we've completed in the last four quarters in Q2 2026, as overall sales increased 6% in the quarter to CAD 38.5 million, compared to CAD 36.3 million in Q2 2025. Be Fire, along with Venger, which was added to the merchandising vertical in August 2025, contributed to this revenue growth.

These contributions, combined with our organic growth in hearth, agriculture, and merchandising product sales, and stable wear part sales, more than offset the oil and gas and commercial vehicle customer specific softness that has been discussed over the past year. I'll provide a little more detail on how each business vertical performed in the quarter relative to Q2 2025. The hearth businesses realized a 48% increase in sales compared to Q2 2025, with 60% of that increase a result of organic sales growth from Blaze King and ACR, and the remainder generated by Be Fire in its first month post-acquisition. The agriculture businesses, specifically Slimline's orchard and vineyard sprayer product and IHT, generated a 24% increase in sales relative to Q2 2025, based on continuing strong order activity at IHT, as well as increases in sprayer sales for Slimline.

Merchandising product sales increased by 72% in the quarter compared to Q2 2025, with about a quarter of the increase attributable to organic growth in sales, while Venger contributed to the other half of the growth in this vertical, both on the back of ramped-up lead generation activity over the last couple of months. Our group of wear parts businesses, Unicast, Procore, and TechBelt, generated consistent sales relative to Q2 2025 as demand for the wear parts these businesses produce remained resilient. As we mentioned earlier, the industrial products businesses, which include Northside, Hawk, Capital I, and Slimline Evaporators, continue to be impacted by demand declines from certain commercial vehicle and oil and gas customers that began in the second half of 2025, although the impact has been less than originally expected.

Having other business mitigate the impact of these declines the way they have reinforces the benefits of the diversified nature of the portfolio of businesses we own and the differentiated products these businesses produce. Over the last few quarters, we've been making investments in leadership succession, sales teams, facility capacity, and organizational capability enhancements across our operating companies. Even with the increase in operating costs driven by these investments, the overall increase in sales translated to a 1% increase in adjusted EBITDA compared to Q2 2025. At the same time, we have made moves that should result in reduced operating costs in future periods, like the move of Procore into Northside and the enhanced cooperation between Capital I and Hawk. We are confident these deliberate decisions will strengthen the quality, resilience, and earnings power of our business, delivering long-term benefit as we move forward.

In this quarter, we generated free cash flow less maintenance CapEx of CAD 2.6 million, a 7% decrease relative to Q2 2025, due primarily to current income tax and operating premise lease payment increases. As a result, with the increased share count from the private placement and only one month of contribution from the Be Fire acquisition, the trailing 12-month dividend payout ratio increased to 83% at the end of Q2 2026. As cash flow contributions from Be Fire ramp up in the coming quarters, we expect this ratio to improve. In terms of our outlook for the remainder of 2026, we expect to benefit from the investments we are making in new products, sales capabilities, facility capacity, and productivity over the last number of quarters.

Higher energy prices and uncertainty tend to drive strength in our hearth businesses, which provide a source of alternative, low-cost, secure energy and where we have new products poised to more meaningfully penetrate the market. We are still awaiting EPA approval for the new North American hearth products that launched in Canada earlier this year. When received, these should provide meaningful tailwinds to Blaze King. Timing of approvals remains uncertain as a result of ongoing organizational changes at the EPA. Overall, Q3 is off to a good start with consolidated backlogs and orders in July 2026 ahead of July 2025. We are especially encouraged by the quoting and order activity within our agriculture and merchandising businesses.

We continue to face some ongoing uncertainty, especially in the near term, including the threat of new tariffs, the impact of CUSMA renegotiations, and global upheaval in different regions, resulting in some specific challenges in a few of our subsidiaries. For example, we are seeing softer order levels and backlog in our cast steel wear parts as we enter the quarter, which has a longer sales cycle due to the international supply chain we work in. Discipline in cost control and efficiency will be critical in the upcoming quarter. We also continue to attract numerous acquisition opportunities as our buy, build, and hold model continues to resonate with exiting legacy-minded business owners who value our long-term approach. With that, I now open up the call for questions.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question- and- answer session. Should you have a question, please press star followed by the number one on your touch-tone phone. You will hear a prompt that your hand has been raised. Should you wish to decline from the polling process, please press star followed by the number two. If you are using a speakerphone, please leave the handset before pressing any keys. One moment, please, for your first question. Your first question comes from Kyle McPhee of ATB Cormark. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Kyle McPhee
Analyst, ATB Cormark

Hello, everyone. First one from me. You've been executing hiring, adding sales resources. It adds new expenses to support forward growth, so a temporary margin had been all else equal. Are you now at the tail end of that investment phase and we should now expect to see some favorable cost leverage going forward, or is there more investment needed for capacity or sales resources?

Speaker 4

Yeah. Hey, Kyle. I think the real ramp-up is probably tailing off. I think we are still looking to invest in certain businesses and for sales capacity improvement just because we see great opportunity there. I think that the real ramp-up is probably behind us. Like Jeff mentioned, we are working on the back end. These are small businesses that we buy that have small teams, and really as we turn into a growth phase for these businesses post-acquisition, we do need to add capability throughout their organization. We are making moves like we have with Procore moving into a joint facility with Northside, combining or increasing cooperation with Capital I and Hawk that are starting to yield results here that will provide an offset of some of those increases as well.

Go ahead.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

I was going to layer onto that. We added sales capabilities and personnel broadly across the group. It's not just a single organization, it's kind of across the group. I think, with the added personnel, I think what we'll be seeing more so is performance management. At this stage, we've added the capabilities. If they're delivering results, in the sales function, that's a critical element, and there might be some turnover. That would be a redeployment of existing investment more so than necessarily major new additional investment. I think that's a point I would make on that as well.

Kyle McPhee
Analyst, ATB Cormark

Got it. Okay. Second one for me, just on your Hearth platform, it was very impressive organic growth. I think when we back out the M&A, it was high 20% range organic growth. What do you attribute that to? Is it a demand surge on the back of the inflationary energy price environment that's typically a tailwind for this platform? Or are you seeing maybe some early payoffs from your M&A cross-sell synergies and new product launches? Just give us your thoughts on that growth attribution for Hearth.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. I think what we saw, we had a really strong take-up in our early buy program this year. We have a program just given the seasonality of that business, where we go to market with an incentive program designed to capture order activity that helps support manufacturing activity throughout what would traditionally be slower sales periods. I think the performance in that, especially in Canada, actually, for the North American business, was really strong. That, I think, drove some of that activity. I think we saw better performance at ACR as well. Yeah. Is it directly a result of war and energy prices? It's hard to draw a straight line between the two, but We've done the correlation math around that. Higher energy prices and that type of uncertainty drives stronger revenue in that.

It has to be an element of the contribution we saw there for sure.

Kyle McPhee
Analyst, ATB Cormark

Got it. Okay, I'll pass it on for now. Thank you.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Thanks, Kyle.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question comes from Russell Stanley of Beacon Securities. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Russell Stanley
Analyst, Beacon Securities

Good morning. Thank you for the questions. Maybe first on Be Fire and the integration. Understand you just closed it. You noted that the first priority is cross-selling in Europe and in the U.K. I'm wondering if you can elaborate on the other growth opportunities in front of you and rank order them in terms of timing. Can they be pursued more or less in parallel with the initial cross-selling effort, or do you need to do them sequentially just to manage resources?

Chris Goodchild
COO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. It's Chris Goodchild speaking here, so I'll take this question. I think it's a matter of prioritization. Obviously, we want to focus on levers that can have some immediate near-term impact. When you have a regulated product like we do, being able to cross-sell within regions that share those regulations help us accelerate those synergies. We're primarily focused on introducing products of ACR into Belgium and France markets that Be Fire represent, and inversely, some of the Be Fire products into the U.K. In parallel, we are working on a product strategy and go-to-market strategy that would bring Be Fire product over into the North American market. It will be a longer period of time. There is some product redesign that's required and revalidation and testing before we'd be able to introduce that.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. That's really a function of a very different regulatory environment, including the test measures are totally different between North America and Europe, and that's what drives the required redesign.

Russell Stanley
Analyst, Beacon Securities

Got it. Thanks for that color. That's great. Maybe just a question just on the M&A strategy. Be Fire is your largest to date, I believe. To what extent do the integration needs effectively sideline you perhaps from meaningfully sized acquisitions in the near term? Should we think about your bias perhaps being towards smaller tuck-ins, or could similarly sized targets still be pursued at this point?

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. No, Russell, it's a great question. I think what I would say about Be Fire is that acquisition is into the industry with our strongest performance in our portfolio from a returns perspective. We have good teams in place around that who have specific industry expertise, product expertise, and knowledge that are really instrumental in driving the execution. Regulatory, I should say, very deep regulatory knowledge and expertise in those sectors as well. They're very hands-on with respect to the inner workings of deploying the resources to set ourselves up to execute on these cross-selling opportunities across these different markets. That's huge. We're supporting them and engaged in that does leave us with some additional capacity to take on more acquisitions.

I would say, the acquisitions of the size of Be Fire more materially move the needle, it takes time for that to ramp into our payout ratio as an example for sure. I think the benefit over the medium term and then long term with respect to those larger size acquisitions is very meaningful. We continue to look at those sized opportunities. Within the verticals, I think some of the smaller opportunities are more easily to generate through, I'll call it, non-competitive deal processes as well. As our business leaders in the different spaces traffic in the market and talk to competitors and suppliers and all those types of things, that's often where the source of non-broker-led processes comes from, but those tend to be a little bit smaller as well. Those can be really a good opportunity.

We'll continue to look at them as well. I think what we're looking at is a mix of both types of deals that you described, but really all focused within the five industry verticals that we're operating in.

Russell Stanley
Analyst, Beacon Securities

Got it. Maybe if I can sneak in one more just on the five verticals. You've been pretty consistent in talking to that. I'm wondering how much variation is there in terms of valuation expectations from targets within each vertical? Is one vertical categorically more expensive than the others? Any color there would be great. Thank you.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

I think in recent activity, what we're seeing is probably higher valuation expectations in the wear parts vertical, which you could develop a thesis around why that is pretty quickly. You have these reoccurring streams of revenue to typically pretty low CapEx businesses. We're seeing some stronger and more competitive valuation levels in that space that we're operating in. I think if you're looking at lumpier, more project type of manufacturing businesses, like businesses producing products that are deployed in more lumpy kind of larger contract sizes, you're seeing some softness in multiples, right? I think, yeah, it definitely does differ by vertical that we're seeing for sure across the different deals we're looking at.

Russell Stanley
Analyst, Beacon Securities

Thanks for your color. I'll hop back in the queue. Thank you.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. Thanks, Russell.

Operator

Thank you. Your next question comes from Steve Hansen of Raymond James. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Steve Hansen
Analyst, Raymond James

Oh, yeah. Good morning, guys. Thanks for the time. Jeff, I was just wondering if you could just maybe dig into or provide a little additional color on some of that pressure you were seeing in the wear parts and the extended supply chain and where that's sort of deriving from. I'm just curious to get a sense for how long that might last and where the ultimate source of the pressure is.

Speaker 4

I think just with some of the uncertainty as the market was waiting to see what would happen in July with CUSMA, there was definitely some pullback in complete or actual order activity. There was a lot of quoting activity, but customers were a little bit reticent to pull the trigger on the order. We've seen those orders start to come through now, and Jeff mentioned that we do have a higher backlog at this point this year than we did last year. What we're expecting is a bit of softness in Q3 for that cast steel wear parts business, but are seeing some pretty good activity levels into Q4, just based on the long tail on those orders.

Steve Hansen
Analyst, Raymond James

Okay. That's helpful. Just on the flip side, ag was called out as sort of one of the stronger categories. I know IHT's been strong for a fair bit of time now, but just curious if it extends beyond that into the other parts of the platform as well.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

I think we saw a fairly material ramp up in sprayer sales in the quarter here, and that's on the back of some extended work by the team at Slimline to really build, expand, and broaden our dealer relationship network. We now have reestablished a presence in Georgia that had gone pretty quiet for a period of time, as well as in the California market. I think we've definitely strengthened our positioning in the California market, which has always been a source of weakness, which is the largest orchard and vineyard market in North America and the world. A huge market opportunity in that, there's very focused efforts on kind of improving our positioning in that market, and we're seeing some early wins there. That's really what's been driving.

I think that I would say the Pacific Northwest market has continued to be a real challenge, which has been historically the biggest driver of activity for Slimline in the sprayer business, and that's on the back of some oversupply in the Apple market, some regulatory and trade-related issues in the Apple market as well, and the slowdown, I would say, in deployment of some of the government support resources in B.C. that farmers have traditionally used to buy sprayer products in this market. A few factors on there that impact that business, but really pleased with the progress in some of these markets that are really large orchard and vineyards markets, especially California. That's really important there.

Steve Hansen
Analyst, Raymond James

That's very helpful. Just one last one, if I may, is just around the energy business. I know there's been some challenges there. Is it the absolute pricing backdrop, the volatility in the pricing backdrop, just driving things? Is it a product shift that's happening? Energy prices have been elevated recently, and I know there's been a lot of volatility out there, but I'm just trying to get a sense for where the source of weakness is coming from in the energy spot patch relative to your product set.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I think with that, the market we operate in is third-party manufacturing, machine product work. I would say there's overcapacity in that market, which drives a high level of competitiveness. Really, it's just about spindle time, that availability of that and what's the cost of that. People in a more capital-intensive space are bidding at rates to keep their machines turning and cash flow supporting the purchase of the assets that they've purchased, right? The competitive nature of that market is a major challenge. I think that's part of the vision around having Capital I and Hawk work more closely together is that we do have a really highly differentiated, high gross margin product that faces less of that kind of competitive threat just from additional capacity with a proprietary product that drives some of our efforts and having those businesses work more closely together.

I think that's a big part of it, is kind of the competitiveness and oversupply of the type of service that we offer. Then, I think then there's customer specific stuff, right? Having a large group of customers, it really depends on the demand or take-up for their product that drives some of the fluctuation in demand, and we've seen some softness, especially from some of Hawk's largest customers who have really pulled back in their activity levels.

Or moved manufacturing, like Jeff said.

Yeah, or moved to some of the other competitors. A combination of those factors is what's driven some of the outcomes in that space, in spite of what you would think with the backdrop of commodity prices would drive higher levels of activity.

Steve Hansen
Analyst, Raymond James

That's actually very helpful. Thanks, guys.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Operator

Thank you.

Steve Hansen
Analyst, Raymond James

Thanks.

Operator

Your next question comes from Yuri Lynk of Canaccord. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Good afternoon, guys.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Hey, Yuri.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Just as I think about trying to model the back half of the year, you had a really strong fourth quarter, in the component manufacturing segment. I think there was some belting and mining orders in there. How do we think about the revenue comps in component manufacturing, in the back half of the year?

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

There definitely was the impact of that large order that we highlighted in Q4, then that carried into Q1. That was with the cast steel wear parts business, that drove some really strong activity in component manufacturing. I think overall for the quarter, we're seeing improved finished product activity that should offset a lot of that. At this point, like I mentioned, Unicast is seeing strong order flow. Not a huge order like we saw with that particular order, but is seeing strong order flow for Q4 as well. Overall, I think we should be pretty comparable to what we saw last year, if not better. I think the other thing I would mention with respect to the industrial and even energy type of work that we were just talking about is we're also coming through a period of really challenging comps.

The first half of that year, for those products, was really, really strong, right? As we move into a softer comparative period, relative results should see some strengthening around that, just given that factor also.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Maybe the distribution between Q3 and Q4 won't be as pronounced as it was last year. Would that be a fair statement? While overall being kind of close to last year's back half performance.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah, it'll depend on timing of some of those approvals we talked about with EPA as well.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Yeah.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

As to if we can get those into Q3, that allows those products to be sold kind of right as heating season starts. Those sales kind of start in August when we talk about heating season and ramp up through the fourth quarter. A lot of that will depend on the timing of those. Yeah. I think if energy prices continue to remain as high as they are, especially in Europe, it's been a very hot summer in Europe. It's not a prime heating appliance buying season in that marketplace, the continued strength of energy prices in that market could be a real tailwind for that business as well.

If those prices remain in place, which signs seem to indicate they might, I think that's very supportive of something that's a bit hard to forecast right now but traditionally has driven strong results out of those businesses. Now with our European exposure, it kind of amplifies our exposure to that as well.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Okay. Some of the efforts and expenses that you've noted about sales force and product development and stuff like that, how much of that is targeted to the industrial segments that have been struggling a bit and trying to reposition those into different markets? Is a lot of it tied to that, or is this more tied to, say, the finished product segment?

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah, I would say it's kind of across the board.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Okay.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

There's been some additions that have been a result of some turnover and succession planning. There's some additions that have been a result of looking to really enhance capability and bring in industry expertise. I would see more of that around in the finished goods area specifically. We've also been focused on adding resources in some of our component manufacturing businesses to ramp up pursuit of new contract work and things of that nature. It is very much across the board. I'm talking of the 12 operating businesses, we've added sales personnel in eight of them, right? Kind of across the board effort, very focused on driving sales growth. You see some of the pretty decently strong, top three quarter ever in terms of our sales production in what typically is a softer seasonal quarter.

I think we're definitely seeing some results out of that, which as they ramp up and stabilize and kind of get their feet underneath them, we hope to see even more benefit from them.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Okay. Last one for Rick, just a clarification question. The three times leverage ratio that you're quoting in the MD&A, that's not a pro forma number, right? If I pro forma Be Fire, I'm getting closer to 2.7, right? Does that make sense?

Rick Torriero
CFO, Decisive Dividend

The leverage would include TTM pro forma Be Fire. The payout ratio does not. The leverage ratio does.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Okay. Maybe we'll take that one offline. I'm not getting that number.

Rick Torriero
CFO, Decisive Dividend

Okay.

Yuri Lynk
Analyst, Canaccord

Okay. Thanks, guys.

Rick Torriero
CFO, Decisive Dividend

Thanks, Yuri.

Operator

Thank you. We do have a follow-up question from Kyle McPhee of ATB Cormark. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Kyle McPhee
Analyst, ATB Cormark

Hello again. A couple of your platforms that have been seeing revenue declines the last four quarters, Hawk and Northside. You already talked about Hawk, but on Northside, I think you're now through four quarters of declines that were originally customer specific for Northside. Is that headwind now all fully lapped and Northside should be back to stable footing in the go forward quarters or maybe even into growth mode? Give us some color on that, please.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. The lapping is a really good point, Kyle. Northside had a very strong first two quarters of 2025 on the back of ongoing strong demand in the heavy commercial vehicle space. That softened pretty significantly in Q3 of last year. Yes, we're in a period where we're lapping that. I think this sector seems to be where we're seeing a lot of impact from trade uncertainty with respect to demand for the vehicles, which obviously impacts the demand for the products and components that we supply for that space. It's customer specific, too. We're seeing some stronger demand from certain of our clients in that space. We're seeing some softer demand than we expected from certain clients in that space.

I think the lapping point is key, but I also don't think that we're into significant growth mode at this point in time, just because of some of those customer specific factors related to economic volatility and uncertainty that's giving people pause around investing in equipment. I think that's something we're seeing there. What I would also say is this period of customer actually, it has coincided with a lot of operational activity there. We've consolidated our facility over this period of time. We're now moved in to our new consolidated facility, which is important. We were operating out of two separate spaces, so there's going to be definitely cost benefit associated with that we're going to be able to start seeing. In addition, we are just now about to finalize.

The move hasn't quite been completed yet, but we're in the throes of combining the Procore facility into the Northside facility, which will also, I think, really prove out the ability to enhance the efficiency of that manufacturing process, share resources, as demand shifts between different parts of the plant there, and deploy some of the really strong operational expertise the Northside team has in operating processes to enhance efficiency there, while allowing the team there to really focus on driving sales, basically, rather than just kind of having to manage an overall standalone shop. I think that's going to be really beneficial moving forward for those two combined businesses. Actually, we saw a really nice quarter from Procore as well, with some decent profitability coming out of their performance in Q2, too.

I think that's important, and I think this will increase their capacity as we make this move to produce more also. Yeah, I think I'll stop there. I think that would hopefully cover some of the points in your question there, Kyle.

Rick Torriero
CFO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah, I would just add, too, Kyle, Northside is a really strong operational team, and the way they onboarded their new customer in 2025 has kind of opened the eyes of other.

Other manufacturers as well. They are pursuing work with other OEMs. It just takes time to land the contracts with these OEMs because they have very integrated supply chains. There is ongoing work to add more customers into that space because of the expertise that we've built there.

Kyle McPhee
Analyst, ATB Cormark

Okay, all understood. Appreciate the color . That's it for me.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah, no problem, Kyle.

Operator

Thank you. We also have a follow-up question from Steve Hansen of Raymond James. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Steve Hansen
Analyst, Raymond James

Thanks. Just a quick one. I just want to go back to the M&A pipeline. Jeff, you made a few comments earlier. Do you feel like there's an urgency to push ahead with deals in the current backdrop? My reference is just, of course, the USMCA and all the different volatility that's going on. I mean, do you feel like it's still a good environment to push forward under this current framework? Do you think it's better to wait into next year? How do you feel about the current opportunities and how quickly you can pull the trigger? Thanks.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yeah. I think if you're looking to add additional cross-border exposure, it's a challenge of time, right? Do you know what the environment looks like that you're buying into? I think for what we would look at, I've mentioned it before, and I'll kind of reiterate the point here. I think, where we would be focused on buying is in a Canadian domestic type of supply environment, where we're doing work within the country. I think there's good opportunities there, still at attractive value levels. I think opportunities in the U.S., in our spaces where we can actually add manufacturing capacity or customer relationships in the U.S. is important for us as well because that can help maybe offset the risk of tariffs for us if we're buying a U.S.-based supplier.

Then, non-U.S. and non-North American opportunities are probably like a Be Fire that increases our exposure outside of this marketplace. If I think about the things that we're working on from an M&A perspective, they carry those types of characteristics, which to me means we should press forward because I think it doesn't introduce additional exposure to trade uncertainty, which I think at this point in time, yeah, it causes a bit of concern if you were going to step into something that had significant cross-border revenue profile.

Steve Hansen

Thank you. Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star followed by the number 1 on your telephone pad. There are no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Jeff Schellenberg for closing comments.

Jeff Schellenberg
CEO, Decisive Dividend

Yes. Thank you all for attending our Q2 2026 conference call. We continue to believe that Decisive's business model, grounded in the acquisition of profitable, low capital intensity manufacturing businesses who produce low obsolescence products distributed through channels that support reoccurring revenue at disciplined valuation levels, supports long-term stewardship and positions the company well for sustained growth and yield performance. We look forward to updating you on our progress continuing into the next quarter and beyond. Thank you very much.

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference. We thank you for participating and ask that you please disconnect your line.
