Expert Statements

Barry Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of North American Construction Group Ltd.

“Revenue remained near our quarterly record of $450 million, underpinning our raised full-year revenue outlook. We are seeing tangible benefits from fleet optimization in Canada and further opportunities to improve productivity and returns across our Australian businesses. While our core businesses delivered less improvement than anticipated and Fargo was a significant disappointment, we have already applied the lessons from that project to our approach to project selection and operating structures.”

Barry Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of North American Construction Group Ltd.

“With contractual backlog above $3.2 billion, our focus is on finishing 2026 strongly through safe execution of the work in hand and improved fleet performance. Our identified opportunity pipeline of more than $14 billion allows us to be selective, pursuing work that fits our operating strengths and offers attractive returns. As we prepare to welcome Brad Rogers as our new CEO, an orderly transition will preserve continuity in strategy and customer relationships, positioning him to focus in 2027 on converting earnings into free cash flow to support deleveraging and disciplined investment in profitable growth.”

Jason Veenstra, Chief Financial Officer of North American Construction Group Ltd.

“We are raising our full-year combined revenue outlook range to $1.7 billion to $1.8 billion, while tightening our adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $370 million to $400 million to reflect a slower pace of earnings improvement than anticipated,”

Jason Veenstra, Chief Financial Officer of North American Construction Group Ltd.

“Our $3.2 billion contractual backlog supports the revised outlook, and we expect fourth-quarter improvement from the continued ramp-up of IMC, stronger Australian margins, increased oil sands utilization, and Nuna’s fleet expansion in Nunavut. Delivering the $385 million adjusted EBITDA midpoint will require disciplined execution, with our focus on translating the operating opportunities into improved profitability.”
