Labour talks at CN Tower stall as strike or lockout looms ahead of Canada Day: Unifor

Labour talks at CN Tower stall as strike or lockout looms ahead of Canada Day: Unifor

CBC29-06-2025
Canada's largest private-sector union says labour talks it has had with the CN Tower have reached a standstill, raising the risk of a lockout or strike ahead of Canada Day.
Unifor says the impasse is with Canada Lands Company, which operates the tourist attraction in the heart of downtown Toronto.
The union represents about 250 full-time and part-time workers at the CN Tower, including hosts, wait staff, bartenders and a kitchen crew of chefs, cooks and butchers.
They've been fighting with their employer over a lack of pension improvements for more than 15 years and are seeking wage increases, solutions for some scheduling concerns, benefits and health and safety protections.
Unifor says the deadline to avoid job action is just after midnight on Monday, the day before Canada Day.

Martinrea International reports $38M in Q2 profit, down from last year

Martinrea International Inc. reported $38 million in profit during the second quarter, down from $40.97 million during the same quarter last year. The company reported diluted net earnings per share of 52 cents for the period. Meanwhile, adjusted net earnings per share came in at 66 cents. The Toronto-based automotive supplier said its total sales for the quarter came in at $1.27 billion, compared with $1.3 billion a year earlier. Martinrea International CEO Pat D'Eramo says the company's overall exposure to tariffs is manageable. He says USMCA-compliant auto parts being exempt from tariffs is a positive for the company. However, he says some items face tariffs, including those from its tier two supplier, as well as those affected by steel and aluminum tariffs. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 12, 2025. Companies in this story: (TSX:MRE)

VerticalScope Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Article content Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in US dollars. Article content TORONTO — VerticalScope Holdings Inc. ('VerticalScope' or the 'Company') (TSX: FORA; OTCQX: VFORF), a technology company that has built and operates a cloud-based digital platform for online enthusiast communities, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 ('Q2' or 'the quarter'). Article content Article content 'In Q2, our platform served 90 million MAUs and generated $14.5 million in revenue,' said Chris Goodridge, CEO of VerticalScope. 'The real story this quarter is the speed at which we've reshaped our teams and sharpened our focus to position the Company for long-term growth. Our profitable model and strong cash generation give us the firepower to invest decisively in high-impact initiatives, from expanding direct traffic to accelerating AI-powered innovation.' Article content Mr. Goodridge added, 'The way people find and consume information is changing faster than ever, and that's creating new opportunities for platforms like ours. VerticalScope's communities deliver exceptional depth of expertise and engagement. As AI reshapes the digital landscape, we're focused on scaling what makes us unique — building stronger relationships with our large base of direct users, broadening how we monetize our audiences, and deploying AI to enhance user experience. We have the assets, the talent, and the strategy to capture meaningful growth in the years ahead.' Article content Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Article content Revenue decreased 13% to $14.5M, primarily due to a decline in MAUs, which impacted programmatic advertising. This follows a period of record-high MAU in the prior year. ARPU increased 17%, supported by a 41% year-over-year increase in e-commerce revenue. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3M, down 39%, representing a 30% margin (compared to 42% in Q2 2024), reflecting lower revenue and increased investments in AI and traffic diversification. Operating Cash Flow increased 4% to $6.4M, inclusive of non-cash working capital changes from acquisitions. Free Cash Flow totaled $3.7M, reflecting 87% conversion of Adjusted EBITDA. Available Liquidity was $64.1M, comprised of $8.1M in unrestricted cash and $56.0M of undrawn revolver capacity. Net loss was $1.8M, compared to net income of $0.4M in the prior year, primarily due to lower revenue and $1.6M in one-time personnel and acquisition costs, partially offset by income tax recovery. Article content 'Q2 demonstrated our ability to execute effectively while delivering a healthy Free Cash Flow conversion of 87% and a 30% Adjusted EBITDA margin,' said Vince Bellissimo, CFO of VerticalScope. 'Supported by a strong balance sheet and an efficient operating model, we continue to invest strategically in key initiatives that drive long-term value creation for our shareholders as we move into the second half of the year.'

Article content Forward-Looking Statements Article content This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation that reflects the Company's current expectations regarding future events. When used in this news release, words such as 'should', 'could', 'intended', 'expect', 'plan' or 'believe' and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information, including the Company's plans for organic growth, deployment of capital, investments in our platform, the growth of revenue and MAU, information regarding our financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, plans and objectives, is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Although the Company believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurances can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the implementation and effectiveness of the Company's capital allocation strategy, the availability of high-quality M&A opportunities, dependence on search algorithms and third-party traffic sources, potential disruption from artificial intelligence technologies, and the factors discussed under 'Risk Factors' in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2025, which is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR Plus at Actual results could differ materially from those projected herein. VerticalScope does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required under applicable securities laws. Article content Non-IFRS Measures Article content This press release references certain non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow Conversion as described below. This press release also makes reference to MAU, which is an operating metric used in our industry. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. Article content The Company uses non-IFRS measures including: Article content 'EBITDA' is calculated as net income (loss) excluding interest, income tax expense (recovery), and depreciation and amortization. Article content 'Adjusted EBITDA' is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, share performance related bonuses, unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments, severance, adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss, gain or loss on sale of assets, gain or loss on sale of investments, foreign exchange loss (gain), realized and unrealized other loss (gain) and other charges that include direct and incremental business acquisition related costs. Article content 'Free Cash Flow' means Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and income taxes paid during the period. Article content 'Free Cash Flow Conversion' is equal to Free Cash Flow for the period divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the period. Article content 'Monthly Active Users' ('MAU') is defined as the number of individuals who have visited our communities within a calendar month, based on data as measured by Google Analytics. To calculate average MAU in a given period, we sum the total MAU for each month in that period, divided by the number of months in that period.

Anaergia Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Article content BURLINGTON, Ontario — Anaergia Inc. ('Anaergia', the 'Company', 'us', or 'our') (TSX: ANRG) (OTCQX: ANRGF), a company that offers integrated waste-to-value solutions to reduce greenhouse gases by cost-effectively turning organic waste into renewable natural gas ('RNG'), fertilizer, and water, released its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 ('Q2 2025'), and the related management's discussion and analysis ('MD&A') for the period. All financial results are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Article content Highlights and Management Commentary Article content Anaergia's financial results for the second quarter of 2025 reflect the ongoing strategic transition in its business model. The Company's shift to a capital-light strategy was the primary driver behind our strong quarterly results led by significantly higher revenue, higher gross profit margin, and an increase in Revenue Backlog. Article content Anaergia is uniquely positioned to benefit from the growing demand for sustainable waste solutions, underpinned by a robust market, and regulatory and environmental tailwinds. The Company provides complete, integrated resource recovery solutions globally. Anaergia's products and services respond to regulatory and customer demand for sustainable waste management services that are superior to landfills and composting while producing carbon negative fuel, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Anaergia is focused on providing cost effective and sustainable solutions that leverage our experience with project development, execution and our network of owned infrastructure. Article content 'Reflecting on my first year as CEO at Anaergia, I am excited to highlight the transformative progress we've made. We have strategically redefined Anaergia as a leading technology company in the RNG sector, delivering complete solutions though our capital sales business, and we are well positioned to capture expanding opportunities. Our second-quarter financial results demonstrate significant advancements enabled by our transition to a capital-light business model, clearly showcasing Anaergia's positive trajectory,' stated Assaf Onn, Chief Executive Officer of Anaergia. Article content 'Additionally, our Revenue Backlog surged to $244 million at the end of the quarter, increasing from $200 million in the previous quarter and $104 million at the start of the year. This growing backlog, along with $43.8 million in new contracts announced since the end of the second quarter, enhances our visibility and optimism for the future. We are enthusiastic about the ongoing transition and remain confident that the most promising developments are yet to come,' added Mr. Onn. Article content Financial highlights: Article content Revenue increased by 36.8%, or $8.7 million, to $32.3 million in Q2 2025, as compared to Q2 2024. Revenue increased primarily due to higher revenue from Capital Sales, most significantly in Italy and North America. Gross profit margin percentage increased to 32.5% in Q2 2025 from 17.6% in Q2 2024, or a 14.9 increase in percentage points. This is attributable to higher margins from all three segments, Capital Sales, Build-Own-Operate ('BOO'), and Operation Maintenance Services ('O&M'). Adjusted EBITDA 1 loss in Q2 2025 of $2.2 million improved by 72.1%, from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.0 million reported in Q2 2024. This positive variance reflects a substantial improvement in our results from operations which was driven by the increases in revenue and in gross profit. Article content Three months ended: 30-Jun-25 30-Jun-24 % Change (In millions of Canadian dollars, except %) Revenue 32.3 23.6 +36.8% Gross profit 10.5 4.1 +152.9% Gross profit % 32.5% 17.6% +14.9 percentage points Loss from operations (4.1) (11.7) +64.6% Net loss (9.5) (13.4) +29.0% Adjusted EBITDA 1 (2.2) (8.0) +72.1% Six months ended: 30-Jun-25 30-Jun-24 % Change (In millions of Canadian dollars except %) Revenue 57.1 48.6 +17.7% Gross profit 15.9 10.6 +49.6% Gross profit % 27.8% 21.9% +5.9 percentage points Loss from operations (9.8) (21.9) +55.2% Net loss (15.4) (24.8) +38.1% Adjusted EBITDA 1 (6.2) (14.1) +56.2% Article content Statement of Financial Position 30-Jun-23 31-Dec-24 (In millions of Canadian dollars) Total Assets 226.1 233.3 Total Liabilities 185.5 180.1 Equity 40.6 53.2 Article content For a more detailed discussion of Anaergia's results for Q2 2025, please see the Company's financial statements for Q2 2025 and related MD&A, which are available at the Company's SEDAR+ page at Article content Non-IFRS® Measures Article content This press release makes reference to certain non-International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures to provide investors with supplemental measures. Management also uses non-IFRS measures internally in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes these non-IFRS measures and industry metrics are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance and highlight trends in the core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Management believes such measures allow for assessment of our operating performance and financial condition on a basis that is more consistent and comparable between reporting periods. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of public companies. Article content Definitions of non-IFRS measures and industry metrics used in this press release are provided below. Article content ' Adjusted EBITDA ' is defined as net earnings before finance costs, taxes and depreciation and amortization adjusted for our normalized proportionate interest in our Build-Own-Operate assets and one-time or non-recurring items, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment charges and write downs, gains and losses for equity-accounted investees, gain or loss on equity method adjustment, significant one-time provisions, foreign exchange gains or losses, restructuring costs, Enterprise Resource Planning ('ERP') customization and configuration costs, litigation and other claims settlements, gains and losses resulting from changes in certain balance sheet valuations (such as derivatives and warrants) and acquisition costs. Article content ' EBITDA ' is defined as net income before finance costs, taxes and depreciation and amortization. Article content ' Revenue Backlog ' is defined as the balance of unrecognized, undiscounted, consolidated revenues from signed contracts in our Capital Sales and O&M Services segments. For our Capital Sales contracts, we have modeled only projects that have been contracted. For our O&M Services segment, while most of our in-hand contracts are 5-15 years in tenure, we have conservatively modeled for only 3 years of contracted revenue. See 'Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures' below for a reconciliation of the foregoing non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Article content Conference Call and Webcast Details Article content A conference call to review the Company's financial results will take place at 9:00 a.m. (EDT) on Wednesday August 13, 2025. It will be hosted by management of Anaergia. An accompanying slide presentation will be posted to the Investor Relations section of the Company's website shortly before the call. Article content To listen to the webcast live: Article content The webcast will be archived and available in the Investor Relations section of our website following the call. Article content About Anaergia Article content Anaergia is a pioneering technology company in the renewable natural gas ('RNG') sector, with over 250 patents dedicated to converting organic waste into sustainable solutions such as RNG, fertilizer, and water.

As one of the few companies worldwide offering an integrated portfolio of end-to-end solutions, we effectively combine solid waste processing, wastewater treatment, organics recovery, high-efficiency anaerobic digestion, and biomethane production. Additionally, we operate RNG facilities owned by both third parties and Anaergia. This comprehensive approach not only reduces environmental impact but also significantly lowers costs associated with waste and wastewater treatment while mitigating GHG emissions.
