ACHESON, Alberta, July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North American Construction Group Ltd. ("NACG") today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, financial figures are expressed in Canadian dollars, and comparisons are to the prior period ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2023 Highlights:
- Equipment utilization of 61% benefited from the strong momentum heading into the quarter, a quick spring break up in April, and continued steady demand for heavy equipment but was impacted in June by unusually wet weather as well as a required fleet remobilization in the oil sands region.
- Reported revenue of $193.6 million, compared to $168.0 million in the same period last year, was generated primarily by the equipment fleet in the oil sands region. When comparing to Q2 2022, the revenue increase included full quarter impacts of updated equipment rates and the acquisition of ML Northern Services Ltd.
- Combined revenue of $277.0 million, compared to $228.0 million in the same period last year, reflected both the demand for our heavy equipment fleet as well as another strong quarter from the increasing capacities of our Indigenous joint ventures.
- Our net share of revenue from equity consolidated joint ventures of $158.5 million compared favourably to $125.8 million in the same period last year. Quarterly revenue was primarily generated by our Indigenous joint ventures but activity, scope and run rates within the Fargo-Moorhead project continue to increase.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $51.8 million and margin of 18.7% compared favorably to the prior period metrics of $41.6 million and 18.3%, respectively, and set a new Q2 record for the Company as revenue increases drove higher gross EBITDA while margin improvements were mostly offset during the month of June from difficult working conditions and fleet remobilization.
- Cash flows generated from operating activities of $40.2 million, compared to $35.5 million in the same period last year, as the higher earnings generated were largely offset by the timing of lower cash dividends received from joint ventures and the settlement of deferred share units that occurred during the quarter.
- Free cash flow used in the quarter was $4.3 million as adjusted EBITDA was primarily used for sustaining capital maintenance and cash interest. Timing of cash distributions from our joint ventures impact quarterly free cash flow but are expected to be realized prior to year end.
- Net debt was $394.3 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.2 million from March 31, 2023, as timing impacts of free cash flow, growth spending, and dividends required debt financing during the quarter.
- The equipment rebuilding program continued its momentum with the sale and commissioning of another ultra-class unit bringing the total Mikisew joint venture haul truck fleet to sixteen.
"The second quarter is always the most difficult to navigate from an operating perspective, but despite the rainy weather and fleet remobilization, the business posted historical high Q2 results in almost every fundamental metric we measure. These results further increase my confidence in the NACG team and our business continuing to meet or exceed expectations while advancing our overall corporate strategy. The Fargo-Moorhead project is hitting its stride and, as we surpass the 10% completion mark, this project will become a meaningful contributor for several years. The business remains focused on executing and I am excited about the second half of the year," said Joseph Lambert, President and CEO.

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On July 25, 2023, the NACG Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend (the "Dividend") of ten Canadian cents ($0.10) per common share, payable to common shareholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2023. The Dividend will be paid on October 6, 2023, and is an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes.
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenue of $193.6 million represented a $25.5 million (or 15%) increase from Q2 2022. Revenue across all major sites in the oil sands region has continued to see year-over-year revenue growth with our heavy equipment fleet at Fort Hills driving the largest increase as the site continues to ramp up. Equipment utilization of 61% benefited from the strong momentum heading into the quarter, a quick spring break up in April, and continued steady demand for heavy equipment but was significantly impacted in June by unusually wet weather as well as a required fleet remobilization in the oil sands region. Maintenance headcount levels have remained consistent which continues to lower equipment repair backlog and increased mechanical availability. The purchase of ML Northern Services Ltd.'s ("ML Northern") fuel and lube fleet, which occurred on October 1, 2022, and DGI Trading had modest impacts on revenue increases with services and sales provided to external customers. Lastly, another ultra-class haul truck was sold to and commissioned by the Mikisew North American Limited Partnership ("MNALP"), bringing its haul truck fleet to sixteen.
Combined revenue of $277.0 million represented a $49.0 million (or 21%) increase from Q2 2022. Our share of revenue generated in Q2 2023 by joint ventures and affiliates was $83.4 million, compared to $59.9 million in Q2 2022 (an increase of 39%). Consistent with the prior year, top-line performance was driven by the Nuna Group of Companies ("Nuna"), as they continued their project execution at the gold mine in Northern Ontario. The other drivers of the revenue increases were the joint ventures dedicated to the Fargo-Moorhead flood diversion project, which posted solid top-line revenue as the project ramps up, and the aforementioned expanding revenue capacity from rebuilt ultra-class and 240-ton haul trucks directly owned by MNALP.
Adjusted EBITDA of $51.8 million represented an increase of $10.2 million (or 24%) from the Q2 2022 result of $41.6 million, consistent with increases in combined revenue. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.7% reflected normal impacts typically incurred in the second quarter during the transition from winter to spring at the mine sites, particularly in Fort McMurray. In addition, the difficult wet conditions in June had a significant impact on margin as low equipment utilization of less than 50% in the month resulted in fixed costs both at the operational sites and corporate facilities becoming a factor in impacting the overall EBITDA margins.
Depreciation of our equipment fleet was 12.6% of revenue in the quarter, compared to 15.7% in Q2 2022, benefiting from efficient and productive use of the equipment fleet. Our internal maintenance programs continue to produce low-cost and longer life components which is impacting depreciation rates. In addition to these factors, our lower capital intensive services continue to have noticeable impacts on the depreciation percentage when comparing to previous benchmarks.
General and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) were $7.2 million, or 3.7% of revenue, compared to $6.9 million, or 4.1% of revenue in Q2 2022. Consistent costs were incurred as increases from ML Northern and cost items impacted by inflation were mostly offset by cost discipline in discretionary areas and incremental G&A recoveries from our joint ventures.
Cash related interest expense (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".) for the quarter was $7.2 million at an average cost of debt of 6.9%, compared to 5.2% in Q2 2022, as rate increases posted by the Bank of Canada directly impact our Credit Facility and have a delayed impact on the rates for secured equipment-backed financing. Total interest expense was $7.5 million in the quarter, compared to $5.6 million in Q2 2022.
Adjusted EPS of $0.47 on adjusted net earnings of $12.5 million is up 176% from the prior year figure of $0.17 and is consistent with adjusted EBIT performance as tax and interest tracked fairly consistently with the prior year. Weighted-average common shares levels for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 reflected a decrease at 26,409,357 and 27,968,510, respectively, net of shares classified as treasury shares, due to the share purchases and cancellations which occurred in the third quarter of 2022.
Free cash flow was a use of cash of $4.3 million and was primarily the result of adjusted EBITDA of $51.8 million, as detailed above, offset by sustaining capital additions ($38.3 million) and cash interest paid ($8.4 million). Free cash flow was also impacted by the cash settlement of certain deferred share units ($7.3 million). As stated in the previous disclosures regarding our annual capital spending, our program is front-loaded in the year and the first half spending is considered typical and consistent with the annual sustaining capital range provided.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents certain non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that they may be useful to investors in analyzing our business performance, leverage and liquidity. The non-GAAP financial measures we present include "adjusted EBIT", "adjusted EBITDA", "adjusted EPS", "adjusted net earnings", "cash provided by operating activities prior to change in working capital", "combined gross profit", "equity investment depreciation and amortization", "equity investment EBIT", "free cash flow", "growth capital", "margin", "net debt", "senior debt", "sustaining capital", "total capital liquidity", and "total combined revenue". A non-GAAP financial measure is defined by relevant regulatory authorities as a numerical measure of an issuer's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flow that is not specified, defined or determined under the issuer’s GAAP and that is not presented in an issuer’s financial statements. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release is defined and reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed concurrently with this press release.
