Executive summary

  • Q2 2026 sales reached $1,042 million (CAD 1.042 billion), a slight increase from Q2 2025, driven by utility products and the Brooks acquisition, with strong demand across infrastructure markets.

  • Operating income declined to $95 million from $155 million year-over-year, impacted by $32 million in network optimization and restructuring charges.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $167 million (16.0% margin), down from $189 million (18.3%) in Q2 2025, reflecting cost pressures, operational inefficiencies, and non-recurring items.

  • Integration of recent acquisitions, especially crossarms, is progressing well and contributing to results.

Financial highlights

  • Gross profit for Q2 2026 was $186 million (17.9% margin), down from $206 million (19.9%) in Q2 2025, mainly due to higher site-specific and fuel costs.

  • Available liquidity at quarter-end was $759 million.

Outlook and guidance

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.
