Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Q1 2026 revenue was CAD 282 million, down 2% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of CAD 25 million, a 19% decrease, as ongoing uncertainty in North American and global agriculture impacted customer purchasing and large capital decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 8.9%, down 197–200 basis points year-over-year, mainly due to lower commercial volumes, partially offset by cost reductions.
Farm segment revenue rose 7% year-over-year to CAD 102 million, while commercial segment revenue declined 6% to CAD 180 million due to soft North American markets and geopolitical issues in India.
Restructuring and cost-saving initiatives are underway, targeting over CAD 30 million in annualized savings by Q4 2026, with SG&A expenses down CAD 9.7 million year-over-year.
Net debt leverage ratio increased to 5.2x at March 31, 2026, up from 4.7x at December 31, 2025, due to seasonal working capital build.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
