Key Points
- Record Q2 performance across all key performance indicators, including net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share, despite a 10% increase in shares outstanding.
- Significant increase in 2026 guidance, a dividend increase, and anticipated further reductions in payout ratios, reflecting strong confidence in future performance.
- Aggregate leverage remains near historic lows at 2.82 times, with over CAD2 billion of available liquidity to pursue acquisitions and invest in existing businesses.
- Strong demand and growth in the Environmental Access Solutions business, with all 2026 output already sold and plans to expand production capacity.
- MACH 2 integration has exceeded expectations, with robust demand across parts, aircraft, and engines, and active collaboration with Canadian North.
- Continued inflationary pressures on labor, aircraft parts, consumables, and overhaul costs, which could impact margins.
- Softness in the southern Ontario condo market persists, affecting the Multi-Storey Window Solutions business, though diversification is helping.
- Negative impact from aluminum tariffs on Multi-Storey Window Solutions and potential impact from recently announced 338 tariffs on Dry Air subsidiary.

(technical difficulty) as two positive quarter does not mean a longer term trend as we still see market softness in southern Ontario.
Overall, this was a very solid quarter, coupled with our outlook has led us to a significant increase in our 2026 guidance, a dividend increase while anticipating further reductions in our payout ratios and maintaining our strong balance sheet. Jake and Travis will focus on the outlook for our segments for the third quarter and the remainder of 2026.
I will now pass the call over to Rich, who will talk about some of the key highlights from the MD&A and the financial statements.
Thank you, Mike, and good morning, everyone. I will provide some highlights from our quarterly key performance indicators and focus on our balance sheet, investments in capital expenditures, and pipeline of acquisition opportunities.
