CEO Commentary

Steve Dixon, Chief Executive Officer of STRACON, commented: "Fiscal 2025 was a strong year for the platform. Revenue grew 4% to US$748.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to US$88.4 million, delivering a 12.0% margin. Free Cash Flow improved substantially to US$56.9 million and we ended the year with a record backlog of US$2.2 billion, providing 2.9x revenue coverage ratio. Net Debt declined to US$179.8 million and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.0x from 2.4x at year-end 2024, reflecting disciplined capital allocation and stronger operating cash generation.

"The Pérez Caldera award - the recently awarded Build, Own, Operate, Maintain ("BOOM") contract from Anglo American Sur S.A. - marks a defining milestone for the platform. With the Infrastructure segment on track to represent approximately 50% of consolidated EBITDA within 18 to 24 months, and the deepening of the Company's engineering capabilities with targeted growth within the Engineering & Technology segment, STRACON has the backlog visibility, technical depth, and execution platform to achieve its three-year targets of revenue exceeding US$1.0 billion, backlog exceeding US$3.0 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA exceeding US$150 million."

Operational Highlights

• Revenue: Revenue from contracts with customers was US$748.6 million, up 4% from US$718.2 million in 2024, led by Engineering & Technology (+US$18.6 million, +23%) and Industrial Services (+US$14.1 million, +3%).

• Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was US$88.4 million (12.0% Adjusted EBITDA Margin), up 11% from US$79.7 million (11.8% Adjusted EBITDA Margin) in 2024. Reported EBITDA was US$75.0 million (US$81.3 million in 2024), reflecting normalization of non-recurring gains and higher corporate overhead. Adjusted EBIT was US$50.6 million (US$39.6 million in 2024), an increase of 28%.

• Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow was US$56.9 million (US$2.1 million in 2024), comprising operating cash flow of US$80.5 million, plus interest paid of US$23.3 million, less lease repayments of US$29.7 million, and less net capital expenditures of US$17.2 million.

• Record Backlog: Backlog reached a record US$2,191 million at December 31, 2025, up 22% from US$1,789 million. New contract bookings of US$1,151 million in 2025 include the Pérez Caldera BOOM award. Approximately 91% of backlog is multi-year and 73% is expected to be recognized beyond 2026.

• Balance Sheet: Net Debt was US$179.8 million (US$191.6 million in 2024), with Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA improving to 2.0x from 2.4x. Cash and restricted cash was US$63.8 million. All debt covenants were met as at December 31, 2025.

• Geography: The majority of revenue was generated in Peru at 48% of revenues (US$362.3 million) and Chile at 33% of revenues (US$244.3 million), with Canada contributing 8% (US$60.8 million) and Mexico 7% (US$55.8 million), and the remaining approximately 3% in other geographies.

Segment Performance

Segment revenue reflects revenue reported at the operating segment level and therefore includes intercompany transactions that are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted Revenue are non-IFRS measures; detailed reconciliations are provided in the Appendix.

Engineering & Technology

Engineering & Technology revenue increased 29% to US$103.9 million, supported by broader service delivery and approximately US$34.0 million from an EPC infrastructure project (executed within the Engineering & Technology segment using the segment's construction capabilities), partially offset by project completions at Antamina and Cerro Verde (combined headwind of US$16.3 million). Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 3.4% from 2.5% as the segment scales. Backlog grew from US$26.7 million to US$468.0 million, primarily reflecting the Pérez Caldera EPC contract, with the Backlog-to-Revenue ratio improving to 4.5x from 0.3x.

Infrastructure

The Infrastructure segment recorded no revenue in 2025. The Pérez Caldera project - the BOOM contract awarded by Anglo American Sur S.A. in December 2025 for the full-lifecycle delivery of infrastructure at the Los Bronces tailings facility in Chile - is in the EPC construction phase, with the EPC scope being executed through the Engineering & Technology segment. Revenue from the BOOM ownership component is expected to commence upon entry into the operational phase under the take-or-pay contractual structure. Infrastructure backlog at December 31, 2025 was approximately US$408.9 million (19% of consolidated backlog). The segment is expected to represent approximately 50% of consolidated EBITDA within 18 to 24 months, materially enhancing earnings visibility and cash flow durability.

Industrial Services

Industrial Services, STRACON's largest segment by revenue, delivered US$512.9 million in revenue and US$71.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA, with margin expanding 210 basis points to 14.1%. Growth reflects continued execution across Peru and Chile - including new project contributions from Lomas Bayas (Glencore, US$17.2 million) and Fenix Gold (US$28.5 million) in Chile - and strong underground mining growth in Canada, where Dumas increased revenue by US$28.5 million driven in part by the Bradshaw Project (Gowest Gold) expansion and Stock West shaft upgrade (McEwen Mining). Segment backlog declined from US$1,419 million to US$958 million, reflecting strong revenue recognition against a high prior-year base and the Company's deliberate shift toward infrastructure-weighted contracting.

Fleet Solutions

Fleet Solutions, operated through AMECO Chile, delivered US$137.1 million in revenue, essentially flat year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was US$22.7 million at an 18.5% margin (US$27.7 million, 22.2% margin in 2024), with the decline attributable to a legacy underperforming contract inherited from the AMECO acquisition that was finalized in Q4 2025 and is nonrecurring. Backlog grew to US$356.4 million, representing 2.6x revenue coverage.

Outlook

STRACON is well-positioned to benefit from structural tailwinds in mining: growing demand for copper and critical minerals, tightening water and tailings management standards, and a broad shift by mining operators toward integrated BOOM and Design-Build-Finance-Operate ("DBFO") infrastructure ownership models. The Company's identified pipeline of opportunities exceeds US$17 billion, including US$6.3 billion in infrastructure.

STRACON's three-year strategic targets are revenues exceeding US$1.0 billion, backlog exceeding US$3.0 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA exceeding US$150 million. The capital allocation framework targets Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 1.5x or lower and directs investment toward projects expected to earn returns on invested capital above the cost of capital.

APPENDIX - Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The following tables reconcile the non-IFRS financial measures referred to in this press release to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in STRACON's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. These measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS, may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, and should not be viewed as substitutes for IFRS measures. Complete definitions are provided in the MD&A available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Table 1 - EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA

Table 2 - Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Table 3 - Adjusted Gross Profit

Table 4 - Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Fiscal year ended December 31, 2025)

Note: Segment Adjusted EBITDA sums to US$97,921 thousand versus consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of US$88,403 thousand; the difference of US$9,518 thousand represents unallocated corporate costs and intercompany eliminations not allocated to reportable segments. The Infrastructure segment recorded no EBITDA in 2025 and is excluded.

Table 5 - Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Fiscal year ended December 31, 2024)

Note: Segment Adjusted EBITDA sums to US$86,190 thousand versus consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of US$79,731 thousand; the difference of US$6,459 thousand represents unallocated corporate costs and intercompany eliminations not allocated to reportable segments. The Infrastructure segment recorded no EBITDA in 2024 and is excluded.

Table 6 - Segment Revenue and Adjusted Revenue Reconciliation

(1) Segment revenue is sourced from Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements, which reports revenue at the individual segment level before elimination of intersegment transactions. Total Segments revenue less intersegment eliminations equals revenue from contracts with customers per the consolidated statements of profit or loss (FY2025: US$753,871 less US$5,247 = US$748,624; FY2024: US$718,569 less US$403 = US$718,166). A further intersegment elimination of the same amount is applied in Table 2 to arrive at consolidated Adjusted Revenue (FY2025: US$734,534; FY2024: US$677,137).

(2) Segment Adjusted Revenue agrees to the Segment Adjusted Revenue line in Tables 4 and 5 and is used to calculate each segment's Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjustment (c) reverses an intercompany elimination arising from the EPC scope of the Pérez Caldera contract being executed within the Engineering & Technology segment and restores the corresponding revenue for segment reporting purposes. This adjustment does not affect consolidated Adjusted Revenue or Adjusted EBITDA.

Table 8 - Net Debt and Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA

Table 9 - Backlog Reconciliation

^(a) "New service strategic project" represents the gross profit/loss of a strategic mining remediation service line commenced in 2023, adjusted to enhance period-over-period comparability.

^(b) "Select project - Fleet Solutions segment" represents the effect on EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue of a legacy contract inherited from the AMECO acquisition. This contract was finalized in Q4 2025 and will not recur.

^(c) "EPC Contract Pérez Caldera" represents the reversal of intercompany eliminations related to the EPC phase of the Pérez Caldera project for purposes of presenting Adjusted Revenue. The EPC scope of the Pérez Caldera project is reported within the Engineering & Technology segment; revenue from the BOOM ownership component will be reported within the Infrastructure segment upon commencement of operations.

^(d) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, as disclosed in Note 29 to the audited consolidated financial statements.

^(e) "Other management unusual and non-recurring expenses" includes one-time project costs, non-recurring severance, restructuring charges, one-time sublease costs incurred to meet contractual deadlines, a one-time equity-based incentive granted to key management, and other items management considers not reflective of ongoing operations.

^(f) "Contributions from the BESALCO-STRACON Consortium" represents STRACON's proportionate share of the Consortium's EBITDA and revenue. The Consortium undertakes civil construction and hydraulic projects under a contracting model that differs from the Company's core mining services operations.
