CAPITAL EXPENDITURES HIGHLIGHTS
This news release contains "forward-looking information and statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. For a full disclosure of the forward-looking information and statements and the risks to which they are subject, see the "Advisory Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" later in this news release. This news release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per common share and working capital. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") and accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures included in this news release should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the IFRS measures from which they are derived or to which they are compared. See "Non-GAAP Measures" later in this news release. OVERVIEW Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $1,638.9 million, a decrease of three percent from 2024 revenue of $1,684.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 totaled $389.8 million ($2.12 per common share), 13 percent lower than Adjusted EBITDA of $450.1 million ($2.45 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net loss attributed to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $38.8 million ($0.21 per common share) compared with a net loss attributed to common shareholders of $20.8 million ($0.11 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The oilfield services sector maintains a generally constructive outlook despite a year-over-year activity decline in some operating regions. Geopolitical tensions and global trade uncertainties have kept activity in the United States subdued and reinforced customer capital discipline in regard to drilling programs. Volatile commodity prices and shifts in the United States trade policies under the current administration, including tariffs, are further clouding the global economic outlook and pressuring commodity prices. Additionally, OPEC+ nations easing voluntary production cuts has increased crude supply, keeping a ceiling on crude oil commodity prices. Geopolitical tensions, hostilities in areas of the Middle East, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and global trade policy changes continue to impact global commodity prices and add uncertainty to the outlook for crude oil supply and commodity prices over the short-term. The Company's operating days were lower for the year ended December 31, 2025, when compared with the same periods in 2024 as operations were negatively impacted by the above-mentioned uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in the crude oil and natural gas commodity pricing. The average United States dollar exchange rate was $1.40 during 2025 (2024 - $1.37), higher than the prior year. The higher exchange rate helped offset the net loss for year ended December 31, 2025, with the positive foreign exchange translation on USD denominated earnings. The Company exited 2025 with a working capital surplus of $89.6 million, compared with a working capital deficit of $100.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The change in working capital is the result of the classification of the current portion of long-term debt, following the recent amendment and restatement of the existing credit agreement. The Company's available liquidity consisting of cash and available borrowings under its Credit Facility totaled $51.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $31.9 million at December 31, 2024. The available liquidity increased by $19.9 million primarily due to the recent amendment and restatement of the Company's Credit Facility and improved foreign exchange translation. REVENUE AND OILFIELD SERVICES EXPENSE
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $1,638.9 million, a decrease of three percent from $1,684.2 million recorded in the prior year. The decrease in total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily in the Company's international operations, as rigs came off contract. Offsetting the decrease is a positive foreign exchange translation of converting USD denominated revenue. The Company recorded revenue of $418.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a two percent decrease from the $426.5 million recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2024. CANADIAN OILFIELD SERVICES
The Company recorded revenue of $511.0 million in Canada for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of three percent from $496.5 million recorded in the prior year. Revenue generated in Canada increased by four percent to $128.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, from $133.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, total revenue generated from the Company's Canadian operations was 31 percent of the Company's total revenue (2024: 29 percent). In the fourth quarter of 2025, Canadian revenues accounted for 31 percent of the total revenue consistent with the comparative period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded 13,218 drilling operating days in Canada, a decrease of three percent as compared with 13,558 drilling operating days for the year ended December 31, 2024. Well servicing hours increased by five percent to 51,385 operating hours compared with 48,710 operating hours for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025 the Company recorded 3,212 operating days in Canada, a decrease of eight percent from 3,494 operating days recorded during the fourth quarter of the prior year. Well servicing hours in the fourth quarter of 2025 were up six percent to 13,374 compared to the 12,596 hours in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The financial results for the Company's Canadian operations for 2025 slightly increased, compared to the prior year, despite a three percent decrease in operating activity. The Canadian operations continue to see growth opportunities following the completion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion in May 2024 and the recent start of LNG Canada in July 2025, but economic uncertainty and commodity price volatility has tempered operating activity. During 2025, the Company moved five under-utilized drilling rigs into its Canadian reserve fleet, transferred one drilling rig to the United States, decommissioned three well servicing rigs and sold its entire coring rig fleet. UNITED STATES OILFIELD SERVICES
For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue of $838.2 million was recorded in the United States, comparable to the $839.9 million recorded in the prior year. Revenues recorded in the United States were $217.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a five percent increase from the $206.7 million recorded in the corresponding period of the prior year. The Company's United States operations accounted for 51 percent of the Company's total revenue in the 2025 fiscal year (2024 - 50 percent) and continues to be the largest contributor to the Company's total revenue. During the fourth quarter of 2025, United States operations accounted for 52 percent of the Company's revenue (2024 - 48 percent), the largest contributor to the Company's consolidated fourth quarter revenues and consistent with the prior year. In the United States, drilling operating days increased by two percent to 12,320 drilling operating days in 2025 from 12,103 operating days in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, well servicing activity decreased 19 percent to 100,510 operating hours, from 124,056 operating hours in 2024. During the fourth quarter, drilling operating days increased by 14 percent to 3,411 operating days in 2025 from 2,992 operating days in 2024. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, well servicing activity decreased 13 percent to 23,548 operating hours in 2025 from 26,975 operating hours in 2024. Operating and financial results for the Company's United States operations were impacted by the uncertainty over the global economy, the volatility in the crude oil and natural gas commodity pricing, customer capital discipline and one-time expenses related to the reactivation and deactivation of drilling rigs. Offsetting the decline is the two percent positive USD translation difference. During 2025, the Company transferred seven under-utilized drilling rigs into its United States reserve fleet. Furthermore, the United States received one transferred drilling rig from Canada. INTERNATIONAL OILFIELD SERVICES
The Company's international revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased 17 percent to $289.7 million from $347.8 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024. International revenue totaled $72.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a 16 percent decrease from $86.1 million recorded in the corresponding period of the prior year. The Company's international operations accounted for 18 percent of the Company's total revenue in 2025 (2024 - 21 percent). The Company's international operations contributed 17 percent of the Company's fourth quarter revenue in 2025 (2024 - 20 percent). International drilling operating days totaled 4,231 in 2025 compared with 4,996 drilling operating days for the prior year, a 15 percent decrease. International operating days for the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased eight percent to 1,066 compared to 1,153 operating days in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating and financial results from international operations declined as a result of rigs coming off contract. Offsetting the decline is the two percent positive USD translation difference. During 2025, the Company transferred four under-utilized drilling rig into its international operations reserve fleet, reactivated a decommissioned drilling rig and sold two workover rigs, of which one was in the reserve fleet. DEPRECIATION
Depreciation expense for the year decreased by three percent to $345.4 million compared with $355.8 million for the year ended 2024. Depreciation expense totaled $93.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with $94.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of one percent. The decrease in depreciation is due to certain operating assets having become fully depreciated in which case no further depreciation expense will be incurred on such assets. Offsetting the decrease is the negative two percent translation effect on converting depreciation on USD denominated assets. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
For the year ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expense totaled $55.5 million (3.4 percent of revenue) compared with $57.4 million (3.4 percent of revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of three percent. General and administrative expense increased 10 percent to $14.5 million (3.5 percent of revenue) for the fourth quarter of 2025. General and administrative expenses decreased due to non-recurring expenses incurred in the prior year. Offsetting the decrease is the annual wage increases and the negative two percent translation effect of converting USD denominated expenses. FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND OTHER
Included in this amount is the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in the Company's subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the Canadian dollar. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $2.6 million in premiums from foreign exchange financial instruments offset by settlement costs of $6.9 million. INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expenses were incurred on the Company's Credit and previously held Term Facilities, capital lease and other obligations. Interest expense decreased by 23 percent for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024. The decrease in expense compared to 2024 is the result of lower debt levels and reduced effective interest rates. Offsetting the decrease was the negative exchange translation on USD denominated debt. The Company remains committed to disciplined capital allocation and debt repayment. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, interest expense decreased 20 percent to $17.4 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2024 due to lower interest rates and overall debt. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (RECOVERY)
The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, was negative 11.8 percent compared with positive 20.8 percent for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the loss for the year. Following the resolution of a Canadian tax audit related to the 2019 acquisition of Trinidad Drilling Ltd., resulting in a reduction of tax loss carryforwards, impacted the deferred tax expense and the effective tax rate for the year. In addition, the effective rate continues to be impacted by US state taxes, withholding taxes, valuation allowances, and operating earnings in foreign jurisdictions. FUNDS FLOW FROM OPERATIONS AND WORKING CAPITAL
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company generated funds flow from operations of $370.1 million ($2.01 per common share) a decrease of 15 percent from $436.2 million ($2.37 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company generated funds flow from operations of $112.8 million ($0.61 per common share) in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared with $112.6 million ($0.61 per common share) for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in funds flow from operations in 2025 compared with 2024 is largely due to decreases in operating activity and cost escalation year over year. Offsetting the decrease is the positive two percent translation effect on converting USD denominated earnings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's working capital was a surplus of $89.6 million, compared with a working capital deficit of $100.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The improvement in working capital is the result of the classification of the current portion of long-term debt, following the recent amendment and restatement of the existing credit agreement. The Company's Credit Facility provides for total borrowings of $950.0 million (2024: $775.0 million) of which $35.6 million was undrawn and available at December 31, 2025 (2024: $3.8 million). INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net purchases of property and equipment during the fiscal year ending 2025 totaled $183.7 million (2024 - $147.6 million) and net purchases of property and equipment totaled $35.3 million for the fourth quarter (2024 - $22.3 million). The purchase of property and equipment relates primarily to $146.3 million in maintenance capital and $48.1 million in upgrade capital (2024 - $160.0 million and $18.7 million, respectively). FINANCING ACTIVITIES
As at December 31, 2025, the amount of available borrowings under the Credit Facility was $35.6 million. On September 29, 2025, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement with its syndicate of lenders, which provides a revolving Credit Facility. The amendments include an extension to the maturity date of the now $950.0 million Credit Facility to September 29, 2028. Furthermore, on September 29, 2025, the Company repaid the remaining balance of its previously held Term Credit Facility, which had an outstanding balance of $203.0 million at the time of repayment. The amended and restated Credit Facility provides the Company with continued access to revolver capacity in a dynamic industry environment. The Company's amended and restated credit agreement includes a US $50.0 million secured Letter of Credit Facility. Furthermore, the Company has an additional US $25.0 million unsecured Letter of Credit Facility. As at December 31, 2025, the amount available was US $23.3 million on the Letter of Credit Facilities. If, on and after March 31, 2028, the closing price of the Company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange exceeds 125% of the Conversion Price for at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Convertible Debentures may be redeemed by the Company for cash on a pro rata basis, in whole or in part from time to time, on not more than 90 days and not less than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any), up to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The liability component of the Convertible Debentures was recognized initially at the fair value and revalued quarterly using a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option, which was calculated based on an estimated market interest rate of 7.6%. There was no material difference between the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures and the fair value of the liability component. The Convertible Debentures include $20.8 million issued to management and directors of the Company. Covenants The following is a list of the Company's currently applicable covenants pursuant to the Credit Facility and the covenant calculations as at December 31, 2025:
As at December 31, 2025 the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility The amended and restated credit agreement, a copy of which is available on SEDAR+, provides the Company with its Credit Facility and includes requirements that the Company comply with certain covenants including a Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio, a Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense ratio and a Consolidated Net Senior Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio. OUTLOOK Industry Overview The outlook for oilfield services in 2026 remains constructive despite a complex macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop. Global oil demand is expected to remain stable; however, ample supply conditions are likely to continue to limit upward pressure on crude oil prices. OPEC+ has signaled a gradual easing of production restraint, contributing to ongoing price volatility. West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil prices remained range‑bound in the low‑to‑mid $60/bbl range entering 2026. Trade policy uncertainty, global economic growth concerns, and OPEC+ production decisions continue to create uncertainty in oil and natural gas markets. Producers continue to demonstrate capital discipline, resulting in relatively steady drilling and completion activity in the Company's United States operating regions. Canadian activity remains more resilient, supported by improved market access following the completion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion in 2024. In addition, the start‑up of LNG Canada in mid‑2025 is expected to support longer‑term natural gas production growth and infrastructure‑led investment in Western Canada. In this environment, the Company remains focused on disciplined capital allocation, free cash flow generation, and balance sheet strength. The Company continues to target a cumulative debt reduction of approximately $600.0 million, which, based on current conditions, is expected to be substantially achieved in the first half of 2026. The timing and magnitude of further debt reduction will remain subject to commodity prices, customer activity levels and capital allocation priorities. The Company has budgeted maintenance capital expenditures for 2026 of approximately $161.4 million and $32.8 million of selective upgrade capital, of which $24.0 million is customer funded. The upgrade capital is related to two rig upgrades in Canada, one in Australia, six in the United States and the completion of one rig upgrade/reactivation in Oman that is on a five year contract. The Company continues to consider rig relocation or upgrade projects in response to customer demand and under appropriate contract terms, which may impact capital expenditures. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, geopolitical conditions in the Middle East escalated, including military activity and regional instability. The extent and duration of these conditions cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. The Company continues to monitor the changes to the current geopolitical developments and has assessed the potential impacts on the Company's operations, cash flows, and asset recoverability and has not identified any matters requiring an adjustment. The situation remains highly uncertain, and the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the financial effect, if any, on future periods. Canadian Activity Canadian activity represented 31 percent of total revenue for the year ended 2025. Canadian activity is expected to remain steady through 2026 due to positive market conditions. However, potential future trade tariffs imposed between Canada and the United States, including tariffs on crude oil, may impact Canadian activity over the near term. As of March 5, 2026, of our 76 marketed Canadian drilling rigs, approximately 52 percent were engaged under term contracts of various durations. Approximately 59 percent of our contracted rigs have a remaining term of six months or longer, although they may be subject to early termination. United States Activity United States activity represented 51 percent of total revenue for the year ended 2025. Operating activity improved going into the fourth quarter and is expected to remain stable throughout the year with similar operating activity as 2025. As of March 5, 2026, of our 70 marketed United States drilling rigs, approximately 52 percent were engaged under term contracts of various durations. Approximately 19 percent of our contracted rigs have a remaining term of six months or longer. International Activity International activity represented 18 percent of total revenue for the year ended 2025. Activity improved in the fourth quarter with growth in operating days in Latin America but was offset with less activity in the Middle East. International operations overall are expected to remain steady in 2026. Activity in Oman increased in the fourth quarter with the addition of the fourth rig commencing operations at the end of December 2025. A fifth rig is expected to start operations in the first half of 2026. Operations in Bahrain are expected to remain steady with one rig operating with the potential for a second rig to commence operations in the second half of 2026. Kuwait is expected to remain steady in the first half of 2026, with activity declining as the two rigs will be coming off contract. The Company is currently working on tenders to recontract the two rigs. Operations in Australia were steady in the fourth quarter and activity is expected to steadily improve into 2026 with additional rigs expected to be reactivated throughout the year. Operations in Argentina remained steady with two rigs operating in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is expected to remain flat throughout 2026. In Venezuela there were two rigs operating in the fourth quarter of 2025. Activity levels in Venezuela remain subject to heightened political, regulatory and sanctions‑related risks, which may impact the timing and collectability of revenues. As of March 5, 2026, of our 25 marketed international drilling rigs, approximately 70 percent were engaged under term contracts of various durations. Approximately 74 percent of our contracted rigs have a remaining term of six months or longer, although they may be subject to early termination. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. A discussion of certain risks faced by the Company may be found hereinbelow and under the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Information Form ("AIF") and the "Risks and Uncertainties" section of the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") for the year ended December 31, 2025, which will be available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com.

These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures included in this news release should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the IFRS measure from which they are derived or to which they are compared. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per common share are used by management and investors to analyze the Company's profitability based on the Company's principal business activities prior to how these activities are financed, how assets are depreciated, amortized, and impaired and how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions. Additionally, in order to focus on the core business alone, amounts are removed related to foreign exchange, share-based compensation expense, the sale of assets and fair value adjustments on financial assets and liabilities, as the Company does not deem these items to relate to its core drilling and well servicing business. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net income (loss) as calculated in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA
Consolidated EBITDA Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Company's Credit Facility agreement, is used in determining the Company's compliance with its covenants. The Consolidated EBITDA is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. Working Capital Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities as reported on the consolidated statements of financial position.
