Clinton Roeder, Chief Financial Officer

Products and customers

  • Mechanical services deferrals hit margins: Management said planned turnaround and maintenance work was deferred across refining and petrochemical markets, especially in higher-margin mechanical services. Source
  • Hot tapping lowered MS profit: MS operating income fell on lower activity and profitability in the U.S., particularly in the hot tapping service line, and lower Canadian project profitability. Source
  • Inspection demand held up: Management said inspection demand remained resilient more broadly, and diversification efforts partly offset the headwinds. Source

Costs, margins and pricing

  • Gross margin was 25.3% of revenue: Gross margin was $55.8 million, or 25.3% of revenue, against $58.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Source
  • Adjusted SG&A cut 7.4%: Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense fell to $43.3 million, reflecting the structural cost reduction work. Source
  • Corporate costs fell excluding settlement: Excluding the $2.0 million legal settlement, corporate cost would have declined 12.6%, offset in part by higher personnel and severance costs. Source

Demand and the order book

  • Prolonged turnaround slowdown continues: Management said the slowdown in turnaround activity continues to affect performance and reported results. Source
  • Deferred work seen as not lost: Management believes much of the deferred work was pushed back rather than lost, with timing dependent on customer operating decisions. Source
  • Recovery expected to shift later: The updated full-year guidance reflects an expectation that the recovery in deferred activity will largely move into early 2027. Source

Capital, cash and returns

  • Total liquidity was $43.5 million: Liquidity comprised $8.1 million of cash plus $35.4 million of ABL availability, with $2.9 million of restricted cash excluded. Source
  • Total debt rose to $319.1 million: Total debt was $319.1 million at September 30, 2026, up from $297.2 million at December 31, 2025. Source
  • Free cash flow was negative: Free cash flow was negative $5.8 million for the quarter, compared with $1.0 million a year earlier. Source
  • Preferred dividends lifted loss per share: Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $14.2 million, or $3.10 per share, including preferred dividends and accretion. Source

Strategy and investment

  • Footprint and cost initiatives advancing: Management reported progress on optimizing the operating footprint, improving execution and reducing the overall cost structure. Source
  • Expansion into higher-value end markets: Management said it is strengthening commercial capabilities and expanding into higher-value industrial end markets. Source
  • Early success in transformation: Management described early success in building a more efficient and diversified business as operational and commercial transformation advances. Source

Coming up, as management said on 12 November 2026

  • Structural initiatives expected to strengthen 2027: Management expects cost initiatives to provide a stronger foundation for profitability and cash flow as deferred activity returns in 2027. Source

Risks management discussed

  • Demand: Turnaround and maintenance activity is deferred, and management said its timing is difficult to predict. Source
  • External: Escalation of conflict in the Middle East disrupted some customer activity and delayed work expected before year-end. Source
  • Operational: Unfavorable project mix and higher benefit costs weighed on IHT and MS margins for the nine months. Source
  • Financial: Total debt increased, with the company citing higher net borrowings under its ABL credit facility. Source
  • Regulatory: Corporate costs included a one-time $2.0 million charge related to a legal settlement. Source

Earlier plans management reported on

  • On track: Management said the transformation efforts remain on track. Source
