Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $121,472 compared to $137,881 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of 11.9%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the timing of maintenance and construction work as compared to the same period in 2025.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $11,619 compared to $14,401 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of 19.3%. Gross profit margin for three months ended March 31, 2026 was 9.6%, compared to 10.4% for the same period in 2025. The decrease in gross profit, both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue, was primarily due to the mix of work compared to the same period of 2025.
SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $9,468, in comparison to $9,361 for the same period in 2025, representing an increase of 1.1%. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were 7.8%, compared to 6.8% for the same period in 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue, as relatively fixed SG&A costs were incurred against lower revenue levels. Management continues to monitor discretionary SG&A spending while maintaining the administrative infrastructure required to support operations and future activity levels.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted EBITDAS was $2,190 compared to $5,118 for the same period in 2025. As a percentage of revenue, Adjusted EBITDAS was 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 3.7% for the same period in 2025.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1,957 in comparison to $3,341 for the same period in 2025. The improvement in net loss was primarily driven by reduced interest expense and higher income tax recovery, along with lower depreciation, and restructuring expenses. These factors were partially offset by a decrease in gross profit compared to the prior year period.

Certain information included in this press release may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. This press release contains forward-looking information relating to: our business plans, strategies and objectives; as we move through 2026, the Company expects a stronger activity profile, driven by turnaround execution and the ramp up of recently awarded construction and maintenance contracts; the Company remains focused on advancing our strategic priorities, disciplined execution, and converting backlog into predictable performance that supports long term value creation; the Company 's execution of its long growth strategy; the company 's approach to dividends and the sufficiency of our liquidity and cash flow from operations to meet our short-term contractual obligations and maintain compliance with our financial covenants through March 31, 2027.
Forward-looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events and results discussed in the forward-looking information including, but not limited to, compliance with debt covenants, access to credit facilities and other sources of capital for working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs, availability of labour, dependence on key personnel, economic conditions, commodity prices, interest rates, regulatory change, weather and risks related to the integration of acquired businesses. These factors should not be considered exhaustive. Risks and uncertainties about FLINT’s business are more fully discussed in FLINT’s disclosure materials, including its annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis of the operating and financial results, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Advisory regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The terms ‘‘EBITDAS’’ and “Adjusted EBITDAS” (collectively, the ‘‘Non-GAAP Financial Measures’’) are financial measures used in this press release that are not standard measures under IFRS accounting standards. FLINT’s method of calculating the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
EBITDAS refers to net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense (recovery) and long-term incentive plan expense. EBITDAS is used by management and the directors of FLINT as well as many investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities, EBITDAS is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine FLINT’s ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures and income taxes. FLINT has provided a reconciliation of net loss and comprehensive loss to EBITDAS below.
Adjusted EBITDAS refers to EBITDAS excluding restructuring expense, gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, interest income, other income (expenses) and one-time incurred expenses. FLINT has used Adjusted EBITDAS as the basis for the analysis of its past operating financial performance. Adjusted EBITDAS is a measure that management believes (i) is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine FLINT’s ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, and income taxes, and (ii) facilitates the comparability of the results of historical periods and the analysis of its operating financial performance which may be useful to investors. FLINT has provided a reconciliation of net loss and comprehensive loss to Adjusted EBITDAS below.
Investors are cautioned that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not alternatives to measures under IFRS accounting standards and should not, on their own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return on the shares. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should only be used with reference to FLINT’s consolidated interim and annual financial statements, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on FLINT’s website at www.flintcorp.com.
