- Sequential operating improvement: revenue rebounded from seasonally weak Q1 ($198.7M) while Adjusted EBITDA expanded from $5.3M to $24.5M; net loss narrowed from $($29.7M) in Q1 to $($4.3M) in Q2 as loss on debt extinguishment did not recur .
- Transformation and cost actions advancing: annualized SG&A/other cost savings targeted at ~$10M (≈$6M expected in H2’25), a dedicated Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer appointed, and continued margin focus; management reiterated at least 15% YoY Adjusted EBITDA growth for FY 2025 .
- Balance sheet/liquidity improved with $49.3M total liquidity (cash $16.6M, undrawn facilities $32.7M) post March refinancing; total debt $370.2M, net debt $349.5M reflecting seasonal working capital needs and refinancing structure .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- IHT segment strength: revenue +15.2% YoY ($130.4M) with U.S. +13.4% and Canada/Int’l +$3.9M; IHT operating income +26.7% YoY to $15.8M; segment Adjusted EBITDA +$3.9M to $19.5M .
- Margin and EBITDA expansion: consolidated Adjusted EBITDA rose to $24.5M (9.9% of revenue), outpacing top-line growth; Adjusted SG&A improved to 18.9% of revenue, reflecting disciplined cost control .

What Went Wrong
- International MS softness and corporate costs: MS revenue growth of 1.9% masked weak international activity; MS operating income declined ~$0.5M YoY; corporate/shared costs higher by $1.9M due to non-recurring professional services .
- Gross margin % flat to slightly lower YoY: GM% was 27.5% vs. 27.8% in Q2 2024 despite higher GM dollars, indicating mix/cost dynamics offset some leverage .
- Free cash flow negative: Q2 cash from operations $(3.3)M and capex $(2.9)M yielded FCF $(6.3)M; Q2 net loss remained $(4.3)M with interest expense ~$11.9M .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Sequential inflection: strong Q2 rebound from Q1 seasonality/adverse weather, with revenue, margins, and Adjusted EBITDA materially higher; momentum expected to carry into H2 .
- IHT-led growth and mix: IHT strength (U.S. and Canada) and higher-margin heat treating/lab services are expanding segment margins and consolidated EBITDA; watch continued mix shift benefits .
- Cost program execution: ~$10M annualized savings targeted with ~$6M expected in H2’25; monitor Adjusted SG&A as % of revenue trending down (18.9% in Q2) .
- Balance sheet/lending flexibility: post-refinancing liquidity at $49.3M and extended maturities to 2030 provide runway; total debt up due to structure and seasonal working capital; net debt $349.5M .
- Cash generation remains a focus: Q2 free cash flow negative $(6.3)M; watch working capital discipline and H2 conversion as activity levels rise .
- FY guideposts intact: management reiterates at least 15% YoY Adjusted EBITDA growth for FY 2025 and progress toward ≥10% margin; H2 activity and Canadian improvements are central to the thesis .
- Trade setup: absent consensus data, stock reactions likely hinge on continued margin expansion, segment mix strength, and visible delivery of H2 cost savings; absence of Q&A reduces near-term surprises risk but limits incremental disclosure .
