Colabor Group Reports Results for the Second Quarter 2025
SAINT-BRUNO-DE-MONTARVILLE, Quebec, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Colabor Group Inc. (TSX: GCL) ('Colabor' or the 'Company') reports its results for the second quarter ended June 14, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights: Recent Event: On July 21, 2025, the Company announced that it identified a cybersecurity incident on July 20, 2025 that has impacted its internal IT systems. Refer to section 2.1 in MD&A for more information. Table of Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights: (1) Non-IFRS measure. Refer to the table Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Earnings to adjusted EBITDA in MD&A section 6 'Non-IFRS Performance Measures'. Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to net operating (loss) earnings before costs not related to current operations, depreciation and amortization and expenses for stock-based compensation plan. (2) Non-IFRS measure. Refer to MD&A section 6 'Non-IFRS Performance Measures'. Net debt corresponds to bank indebtedness, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of cash. (3) Financial leverage ratio is an indicator of the Company's ability to service its long-term debt. It is defined as net debt / adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjustments related to the recent Acquisition, less lease liability payments and interests on lease obligations for the last four quarters. Refer to MD&A section 6 'Non-IFRS Performance Measures'. 'The closing of the Acquisition of Alimplus' distribution activities was an important milestone during the second quarter. Once integrated, the Acquisition will allow us to significantly accelerate our growth plan and reinforces us as a Quebec leader in food distribution. This Acquisition includes the signing of a six-year distribution agreement to serve the four stores of Groupe Mayrand Alimentation inc. It is highly strategic and allows us to gain a customer base in coveted territories, create significant synergies and offer cross-selling opportunities, particularly with our private brand and Tout-Prêt, Lauzon and Norref's products,' said Mr. Frenette. 'Mainly due to the acquisition and the growth of major accounts in the second quarter, we were able to generate revenue growth and partially offset the impact of ongoing macroeconomic headwinds affecting the restaurant industry, as well as the renewal of a major contract in December 2024, at less favorable market conditions. The latter had a significant impact on our profitability during the period, and we aim to gradually improve our margins by focusing on a more favorable product and customer mix in the upcoming quarters,' added Mr. Frenette. Results for the Second Quarter of 2025 Consolidated sales for the second quarter were $169.5 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to $161.3 million during the corresponding quarter of 2024. Sales from the distribution activities increased by 7.5% as a result of the recent Acquisition which contributed $8.8 million, the organic sales volume growth with major account clients and the effect of inflation. This growth was mitigated by the renewal of a supply agreement with an institutional customer at economic conditions significantly lower to the margins in effect in 2024, as well as the current economic uncertainties affecting the restaurant industry. Sales from the wholesale activities have decreased by 1.8% mainly as a result of the restaurant industry slowdown during the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA(1) from continuing operations was $5.4 million or 3.2% of sales from continuing operations compared to $9.7 million or 6.0% during 2024. These variations result from the decrease in gross margin related to the supply agreement renewed in December 2024, as previously explained. Net loss from continuing operations and net loss were $2.3 million, down from net earnings from continuing operations and net earnings of $1.7 million for the corresponding quarter of the previous year, resulting essentially from a decrease of the adjusted EBITDA(1) and an increase in depreciation and costs not related to current operations, mitigated by higher income taxes recovery. Results for 24-week period of 2025 Consolidated sales for the 24-week period were $301.2 million, compared to $292.5 million for the corresponding period of 2024. Sales from the distribution activities grew by 4.9% and the wholesale sales declined by 2.8%. Adjusted EBITDA(1) from continuing operations was $7.6 million or 2.5% of sales from continuing operations compared to $14.6 million or 5.0% in 2024. These variations result from a decrease in gross margin related to the supply agreement renewed in December 2024. Net loss from continuing operations and net loss were $6.3 million, down from $0.1 million in the previous fiscal year. This variation is explained by the elements previously mentioned. Cash Flow and Financial Position Cash flows from operating activities were $4.5 million and $10.7 million for the 12 and 24-week periods of 2025, respectively, compared to $5.0 million and $16.7 million for the corresponding period of 2024. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in adjusted EBITDA(1) mitigated by a lower utilization of working capital(4). The lower utilization of working capital(4) is explained by the timing of supplier payments. As at June 14, 2025, the Company's working capital(4) was $48.3 million, down from $50.3 million at the end of the fiscal year 2024. This decrease reflects improved management of accounts payable, mitigated by the recent Acquisition. As at June 14, 2025, the Company's net debt(2) was increased to $97.3 million, compared to $47.8 million at the end of the fiscal year 2024, resulting from an increase in the amended and restated credit facility of $34.3 million and a new highly subordinated debt of $15.0 million to finance the Acquisition. (4) Working capital is a non-IFRS performance measure. Working capital is an indicator of the Company's ability to hedge its current liabilities with its current assets. Refer to MD&A section 3.2 'Financial Position' for detailed calculation. Outlook 'The recent Acquisition positions us well to differentiate ourselves in a competitive market. In the second half of the year, we plan to focus on optimizing our activities in order to generate further efficiencies through an expanded customer base, allowing us to continue our momentum in targeted territories and industries. Improving our profitability and prioritizing debt reduction will remain key areas of focus, as they have been in recent years,' concluded Mr. Frenette.

As these concepts are not defined by IFRS, they may not be comparable to those of other companies. Refer to Section 6 'Non-IFRS Performance Measures' in the Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Hammond Power Solutions Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, in Canadian currency unless otherwise specified) GUELPH, Ontario, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hammond Power Solutions Inc. ('HPS') (TSX: HPS.A) a leading manufacturer of dry-type transformers, power quality products and related magnetics, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2025. HIGHLIGHTS We are pleased to share that HPS delivered another strong quarter in Q2 2025, achieving record sales and solid profits despite navigating some cost headwinds. Our quarterly revenue reached approximately $224 million, marking a new record quarter with 14% growth compared to Q2 2024. Our gross margin was slightly lower than the previous year due to rising input costs and further investments in our manufacturing footprint.', said Adrian Thomas, CEO of Hammond Power Solutions. 'Our new production facility in Mexico is complete and we will start shipments later this year. We are also proud to announce that we were awarded Great Place to Work for all of our facilities globally. This honour means a lot to us and reaffirms our belief that our employees are at the core of our success.' Year-to-date, the U.S. market experienced its strongest growth in the private label channel and steady growth in the distribution channel. The Company continued to grow both the number of new customers, as well as sales within existing customers. The Original Equipment Manufacturer ('OEM') channel and private labels channels have increased in the quarter versus prior year, with relatively more business shifting to private label. The two channels have also increased on a year-to-date basis with strong sales to switchgear manufacturers, motor control, mining, and data centres. The Canadian market continued to grow through the distribution channel in both stock and flow product and large projects in commercial construction, electric vehicle ('EV') charging, data centres, public infrastructure, oil and gas, mining, utilities and motor control. The Company's Quarter 2, 2025 backlog increased by 8.4% as compared to Quarter 2, 2024. The Company's backlog decreased 8.0% from Quarter 1, 2025. 'The second quarter was notable in the heightened level of uncertainty in our supply chain and our customer markets. However, the impact of that uncertainty proved to be relatively small, although gross margins did decline below our expectations. Some of this was due to under absorbed overheads in our new Mexico factories as they ramp up, and some to due inflation we are seeing in our supply chain. Adjusted EBITDA margins, while still above 15% on a YTD basis, dropped in the quarter as a result of the lower gross margin', said Richard Vollering, CFO of Hammond Power Solutions. 'As sales increased to record levels, working capital requirements increased. This, combined with high capital expenditures associated with our capital expansion plan, resulted in a net cash outflow, which we expect will begin to reverse in the third quarter.' The Company saw a decrease in its gross margin rate for the three months of Quarter 2, 2025 which was 30.7% compared to Quarter 2, 2024 margin rate of 32.8%, a decrease of 210 basis points. The year-to-date gross margin rate has decreased from 32.3% in 2024 to 31.1% in 2025, a decrease of 120 basis points. The decline in gross margin is mainly the result of higher material costs related to commodity volatility and inflation in the supply chain. Total selling and distribution expenses were $24,665 in Quarter 2, 2025 or 11.0% of sales versus $20,591 in Quarter 2, 2024 or 10.4% of sales, an increase of $4,074 or an increase of 60 basis points. Year-to-date selling and distribution expenses were $46,985 or 11.0% of sales in 2025 compared to $41,658 or 10.7% of sales in 2024, an increase of $5,327 or 30 basis points. The quarter and year-to-date increase in selling and distribution expenses is a result of higher variable freight and commission expenses attributed to the increase in sales. General and administrative expenses were $24,465 or 10.9% of sales for Quarter 2, 2025 compared to Quarter 2, 2024 expenses of $9,062 or 4.6% of sales , an increase of $15,403 or 170 basis points. Year-to-date general and administration expenses were $28,210 or 6.6% of sales in 2025 compared to $38,201 or 9.8% of sales in 2024, a decrease of $9,991 or 320 basis points. The increase is mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation costs, ongoing strategic investments in people and resources to support our growth strategies as well as supporting higher levels of general business activity. Net earnings for Quarter 2, 2025 finished at $13,376 compared to net earnings of $23,590 in Quarter 2, 2024, a decrease of $10,214. Year-to-date net earnings for 2025 finished at $39,598 compared to net earnings of $31,542 in Quarter 2, 2024, an increase of $8,056. EBITDA for Quarter 2, 2025 was $23,720 versus $36,711 in Quarter 2, 2024, a decrease of $12,991 or 35.4%. Adjusted for foreign exchange loss/gain and share-based compensation expenses adjusted EBITDA[1] for Quarter 2, 2025 was $33,396 versus $32,587 in Quarter 2, 2024, an increase of $809 or 2.5%. Year-to-date EBITDA was $64,417 in 2025 and $51,710 in 2024, an increase of $12,707 or 24.6%. Year-to-date adjusted EBITDA was $64,312 in 2025 and $63,559 in 2024, an increase of $753 or 1.2%. Basic earnings per share were $1.12 for Quarter 2, 2025 versus $1.98 in Quarter 2, 2024, a decrease of $0.86. Year-to-date the basic earnings per share were $3.33 in 2025 compared to $2.65 in 2024, an increase of $0.68. Adjusted1 for foreign exchange losses and share-based compensation expenses adjusted earnings per share were $1.72 for Quarter 2, 2025 versus $1.73 for Quarter 2, 2024. Year-to-date adjusted earnings per share were $3.32 for 2025 compared to $3.37 in 2024. The Board of Directors of HPS declared a quarterly cash dividend of twenty-seven and a half cents ($0.275) per Class A Subordinate Voting Share of HPS and a quarterly cash dividend of twenty-seven and a half cents ($0.275) per Class B Common Share of HPS paid on June 27, 2025.
