Financial Highlights
- Non‑GAAP EPS: C$1.90 per share
- Revenue: C$412.86 million
These figures are presented in the official earnings release and confirm that the company generated a profit in the quarter, in contrast to the negative EPS projected by analysts for the same period.
Analyst Expectations
Prior to the release, analysts had issued the following consensus forecasts:
| Metric | Forecast | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 EPS | –C$1.43 | +C$1.90 |
| Q1 Revenue | C$403.7 million | C$412.86 million |
| FY 2026 Net Income | –C$1.26 | Not yet disclosed |
The company’s actual results exceeded analyst expectations for both EPS and revenue, improving on last year’s Q1 figures of C$2.35 per share in profit and C$391.9 million in sales.
Outlook for the Fiscal Year
The management team provided guidance for the remainder of the fiscal year:
- Net loss forecast: C$1.262 per share, compared with a loss of C$10.78 per share in the same period last year.
- Full‑year revenue estimate: C$1.63 billion, down modestly from the previous year’s C$1.69 billion.
These projections suggest a narrower loss margin for the year, although total revenue is expected to remain slightly lower than in 2025.
Market Impact
Following the announcement, the company’s share price was subject to a trading halt by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIO). The halt, reported by ceo.ca on 12 May 2026, was intended to allow the market to digest the earnings information before trading resumed.
The company’s market capitalization remains at CAD 517.25 million, with a closing price of CAD 30.80 as of 10 May 2026. The price‑to‑earnings ratio is negative at –3.06, reflecting the company’s historical profitability challenges.
