Q1 2026 TU earnings summary21 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Delivered a strong, clean first quarter for FY 2026, with significant improvement over Q1 FY25 due to better weather, fewer client delays, and improved results from projects that previously incurred ramp-up costs.

  • Gold sector performance is robust, while coal remains at historically low rig utilization due to Queensland royalty regime.

  • Utilization rate was around 70%, with 60+ rigs out of 90 operating, indicating leverage for future earnings growth.

  • Balance sheet is in its best shape, with net debt reduced to $0.9m, a 93% decrease since June 30, 2025, and strong cash flow generation.

  • Closed a $24 million decarbonization JV transaction with Sumitomo, providing validation and growth opportunities.

Financial highlights

  • Quarterly EBITDA reached $11.8m, up 68% year-over-year, with margin at 22.1%, at the high end of the historical 15–20% range.

  • Quarterly EBT was $6.1m, showing exponential growth compared to Q1 FY25.

  • Operating cash flow was $9.8m, up 70% year-over-year, with cash flow normalized due to absence of major new contract mobilizations.

  • Net debt reduced to $0.9m, a 93% decrease since June 30, 2025.

  • Revenue for the quarter was $53.4m, up 1.3% year-over-year.

Outlook and guidance

  • Caution against annualizing Q1 results due to seasonality, with Q1 and Q4 typically being the strongest quarters.

  • Sustaining CapEx for FY 2026 expected to be around $15 million, with $3.5 million spent in Q1.

  • EBITDA margin guidance remains at 15–20% under normal conditions, with potential upside if utilization and demand increase.

  • Utilization rates expected to remain stable in Q2, with potential for increased gold-related activity if current prices persist.

  • Board strategy session in November to set medium- and long-term targets, including rig count and business exposure.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
