    Combined gross profit margin1 impacted by specific maintenance and operational challenges in Australia

    • In Queensland, approximately $10 million of additional labour and parts costs were incurred at a thermal coal mine during the quarter to improve and stabilize the mechanical availabilities of both customer-owned and MacKellar-owned equipment

    • In Western Australia, a pit wall failure at a major lithium mine site caused operational inefficiencies due to lower overall mine production and the impacts of haul road inaccessibility and reconstruction

    • In Canada, continuing improvements and momentum in margin reflects day-to-day focus on operational excellence coupled with higher heavy equipment mechanical availability and utilization

      $0.59

      Adjusted EBITDA1 stable at $100M as growth from IMC and improved Canadian utilization were offset by additional operating costs in Australia

    • Australian performance was affected by increased labour and parts spend primarily on a component replacement program in Queensland and operational challenges at a lithium project in Western Australia

    • Canadian operations benefited from stronger demand, improved equipment availability

      General and administrative expenses remain below 5% target excluding acquisition and organizational realignment costs and Fargo impacts

    • Year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the additional administrative headcount associated with the IMC acquisition

      Adjusted earnings per share1 reflect the positive contribution from IMC, offset by higher financing costs

    • Cash interest expense increased by $0.20 per share, primarily reflecting acquisition and growth-capital debt

      Fargo project significantly impacted basic EPS resulting from the increase in estimated project costs

    • Revised forecast included a 9% increase in overall project costs resulting in a contract loss position

    • Forecast is not expected to be revised by the joint venture executive committee as project is near physical completion

      Improved oil sands performance supported operating cash flow, offset by temporary working capital1 impacts in Australia Sustaining capital1 additions reflects the continued investment in our core fleets and strong demand in the oil sands region

  • MacKellar additions1 driven by major maintenance projects and replacement fleet purchases scheduled during the quarter

  • Canada spending was incurred in response to strong demand in the oil sands region and in direct support of our equipment utilization targets

    Cash liquidity1 remains strong following IMC investment; deleveraging is the near-term capital allocation priority

    • Cash liquidity of $412M provides financial flexibility and remains broadly consistent with pre-acquisition levels

      Net debt1 levels remain consistent with Q2 balance following the acquisition of IMC

    • Management is prioritizing cash conversion, disciplined capital spending and debt reduction

      NORTH AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION GROUP 8

    • Near-term deleveraging is expected to be supported by operating cash flow and normalization of working capital

      DEBT COMPOSITION & MATURITY PROFILE

      Debt structure provides interest-rate stability and a manageable maturity profile

      More than 80% of debt is fixed-rate, providing predictability in a changing interest-rate environment

      • Long-term fixed instruments create consistent and predictable interest costs

      • In addition, over 80% of debt matures in 2028 or later, supporting financial stability and flexibility through the deleveraging period
