Total Energy’s financial results for the second quarter of 2025 represent record second quarter results. A substantial increase in Australian drilling and service rig activity, continued strong North American demand for compression and process equipment and improved performance from Canadian well servicing more than offset a substantial decline in United States drilling and completion activity and a modest decline in Canadian drilling activity.

Contract Drilling Services (“CDS”)

⁽¹⁾   See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.
⁽²⁾   Operating days includes drilling and paid standby days.

Second quarter CDS segment activity was modestly lower in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a substantial decline in U.S. activity, an extended spring shutdown in Canada and the loss of market share in more competitive areas of the Canadian market. The decline in North American operating days was offset by a significant increase in Australian activity following the acquisition of Saxon in March of 2024 and the reactivation of several upgraded drilling rigs following such acquisition. The year over year increase in second quarter Australian revenue per operating day reflects the addition of Saxon’s deeper drilling rig fleet which receives higher day rates as well as increased rates received for upgraded drilling rigs.

Rentals and Transportation Services (“RTS”)

⁽¹⁾ See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.

RTS segment revenue and revenue per utilized piece of equipment both decreased for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 due to the mix of equipment operating and lower industry activity. Second quarter segment EBITDA decreased in 2025 compared to the prior year due to the change in the mix of equipment operating and lower equipment utilization. Partially offsetting the decline in U.S. activity was the acquisition of 280 major pieces of rental equipment located in Oklahoma on June 10, 2025.

Compression and Process Services (“CPS”)

⁽¹⁾ See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.
⁽²⁾ Rental equipment utilization is measured on a horsepower basis.

2025 second quarter CPS segment revenue was higher compared to 2024 due to increased fabrication sales and parts and service activity in both Canada and the U.S. that was partially offset by lower compression rental fleet utilization. Efficiencies arising from higher production levels contributed to the year-over-year increase in second quarter segment EBITDA and EBITDA margin. Sequentially, the quarter end fabrication sales backlog increased by $38.5 million, or 15%, from the $265.4 million backlog at March 31, 2025.

  
Well Servicing (“WS”)

⁽¹⁾ See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.
⁽²⁾   Service hours is defined as well servicing hours of service provided to customers and includes paid rig move and standby.
⁽³⁾ The Company reports its service rig utilization for its operational service rigs in North America based on service hours of 3,650 per rig per year to reflect standard 10 hour operations per day. Utilization for the Company’s service rigs in Australia is calculated based on service hours of 8,760 per rig per year to reflect standard 24 hour operations.

Second quarter WS segment revenue increased in 2025 as compared to 2024 due to increased activity in Australia and Canada following the reactivation of several upgraded service rigs that offset a substantial decline in U.S. activity. Segment EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was higher compared to the prior year due to increased Australian and Canadian activity and higher pricing realized in Australia for upgraded service rigs.

Corporate

During the second quarter of 2025, Total Energy continued to execute on its 2025 capital expenditure program and pursuit of attractive acquisition opportunities. $26.3 million of capital expenditures were made during the second quarter that related primarily to the upgrade of drilling and service rigs in Australia and Canada and the acquisition of rental equipment in the U.S. To June 30, 2025, $60.8 million of capital expenditures were funded, including approximately $16.6 million of capital commitments carried forward from 2024 and the acquisition of 280 pieces of rental equipment located in Oklahoma on June 10, 2025 for $9.0 million.   

Following the repayment of a $40.4 million mortgage loan that matured on April 29, 2025, Total Energy exited the second quarter of 2025 with $111.8 million of positive working capital, including $34.2 million of cash, and $75.0 million of available credit under its $175 million of revolving bank credit facilities. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding bank debt at June 30, 2025 was 4.49%.

$17.0 million was returned to shareholders during the first half of 2025 with the payment of $7.2 million of dividends and the repurchase of $9.8 million of shares under the Company’s normal course issuer bid. $10.9 million of bank debt was also repaid during this period.

Outlook

Oil prices remained relatively weak during the second quarter of 2025 as a result of significant global economic uncertainty. Such uncertainty continues to impair North American drilling and completion activity levels, particularly in the United States. Offsetting such weakness is continued strong North American demand for compression and process equipment and stable Australian industry conditions. The CPS segment’s record $303.9 million fabrication sales backlog at June 30, 2025 provides visibility into 2026.

Total Energy’s Board of Directors has approved a $19.5 million increase to the Company’s 2025 capital expenditure budget to $102.4 million. This increase is directed primarily towards the expansion of the CPS segment’s United States compression fabrication capacity. The planned expansion will increase the Company’s U.S. plant capacity by at least 75% and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2027. In addition, an idle Australian service rig will be upgraded and put into service by the end of the first quarter of 2026 under a minimum 12 month contract. Including this increase, approximately 70% of the Company’s 2025 capital budget is targeting growth opportunities. Total Energy intends to finance the remaining $58.2 million of 2025 capital expenditure commitments with cash on hand and cashflow.

Notes to the Financial Highlights

(1)   EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is equal to net income (loss) before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company’s primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company’s primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Total Energy’s performance. Total Energy’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.

(2)   Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities.

(3)   Net Debt equals long-term debt plus lease liabilities plus current liabilities minus current assets. Management believes this measure provides a useful indication of the Company’s liquidity.

(4)   Basic and diluted shares outstanding reflect the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. See note 6 to the Company’s Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
