Article content
'We continue to view the incremental softness in the industry performance this year as cyclical, and we continue to believe in Molson Coors' ability to achieve its long-term growth objectives. That said, our second quarter financial results were impacted by the macroeconomic environment and its broad effects on the beer industry and consumer, our softer U.S. share performance, as well as the resulting impact of volume deleverage. Additionally, in the quarter we experienced expected headwinds primarily from the discontinuation of our contract brewing arrangements in the Americas at the end of 2024. This was all partially offset by strong price and mix growth across both business units, favorable timing of U.S. shipments and lower MG&A largely due to reduced incentive compensation and the timing of marketing spend.
Article content
As a result of the anticipated ongoing macroeconomic impacts on the industry, our lower-than-expected U.S. share performance, and higher-than-expected indirect tariff impacts on the pricing of aluminum, in particular the Midwest Premium pricing, we have adjusted our 2025 full year top and bottom-line guidance. However, we are reaffirming our annual underlying free cash flow guidance of $1.3 billion plus or minus 10% due to expected higher cash tax benefits and favorable working capital.
Article content
While navigating these macroeconomic pressures, we have continued to execute our Acceleration Plan and prudently invest behind our business and our brands to support long-term profitable growth. Collectively, we have held most of the share gains over the last three years for our core U.S. power brands – Coors Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Banquet. We remain committed to our premiumization plans: in EMEA&APAC behind the strength of Madri, in Canada with continued growth in Miller Lite and our flavor portfolio, and in the U.S. with Peroni and our partnership with Fever-Tree as well as continued focus against Blue Moon.'

Tracey Joubert, Chief Financial Officer Statement:
Article content
'We are pleased with the strength of our balance sheet and cash generation, which is particularly important during a challenging macroeconomic environment. It has allowed us to continue to execute our strategic growth initiatives as well as return $500 million to shareholders for the first half of the year through a competitive dividend and accelerated pace of share repurchases. We are committed to protecting and growing our underlying free cash flow while making prudent capital allocation decisions that support the long-term health of our business and brands and returning even more cash to shareholders.'

QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS)
Article content
Net sales: The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2024 (in percentages):
Article content
Net sales decreased 1.6%, driven by lower financial volumes, partially offset by favorable price and sales mix and favorable foreign currency impacts. Net sales decreased 2.6% in constant currency.
Article content
Financial volumes decreased 7.0%, primarily due to lower shipments in both the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments. Brand volumes decreased 5.1%, including a 4.0% decrease in the Americas as well as a 7.8% decrease in EMEA&APAC.
Article content
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales by 4.4%, primarily due to favorable sales mix and increased net pricing in both segments. Americas favorable sales mix was primarily driven by lower contract brewing volume. Net sales per hectoliter increased 5.8% reported and 4.7% on a constant currency basis.
Article content
Cost of goods sold ('COGS'): decreased 0.2% on a reported basis, primarily due to lower financial volumes, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold per hectoliter and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $21.3 million. COGS per hectoliter: increased 7.3% on a reported basis, primarily due to unfavorable mix driven by lower contract brewing volumes in the Americas segment and premiumization, volume deleverage, cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses as well as unfavorable changes in our unrealized mark-to-market commodity derivative positions, partially offset by cost savings initiatives. Underlying (Non-GAAP) COGS per hectoliter: increased 4.9% in constant currency, primarily due to unfavorable mix driven by lower contract brewing volumes in the Americas segment and premiumization, volume deleverage as well as cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.
Marketing, general & administrative ('MG&A'): decreased 4.9% on a reported basis, primarily due to timing of marketing investment and lower general and administrative expenses as a result of lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $7.3 million. Underlying (Non-GAAP) MG&A: decreased 5.8% in constant currency.
U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP income before income taxes declined 0.9% on a reported basis, primarily due to lower financial volumes, cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses as well as the unfavorable changes in our unrealized mark-to-market commodity derivative positions, partially offset by increased net pricing, favorable mix, lower MG&A expense, the favorable fair value adjustment of our investment in Fevertree Drinks plc and cost savings initiatives.
Underlying (Non-GAAP) income (loss) before income taxes: Underlying income before income taxes decreased 0.8% in constant currency, primarily due to lower financial volumes and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses, partially offset by increased net pricing, favorable mix, lower MG&A expense and cost savings initiatives.

Article content

See Appendix for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.
Article content

Article content
Net income (loss) attributable to MCBC per diluted share: Net income attributable to MCBC per diluted share increased 4.9%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding driven by share repurchases.
Underlying (Non-GAAP) net income (loss) attributable to MCBC per diluted share: Underlying net income attributable to MCBC per diluted share increased 6.8%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding driven by share repurchases.

Americas Segment Highlights (Versus Second Quarter 2024 Results)
Article content
Net sales: The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2024 (in percentages):
Article content
Net sales decreased 2.8%, driven by lower financial volumes and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by favorable price and sales mix. Net sales decreased 2.6% in constant currency.
Article content
Financial volumes decreased 6.6%, primarily due to lower U.S. brand volume and an approximate 3% impact from lower contract brewing volume related to the exit of contract brewing arrangements in both the U.S. and Canada at the end of 2024, partially offset by favorable timing of U.S. shipments. Americas brand volumes decreased 4.0%, including a 5.3% decrease in the U.S., impacted by the macroeconomic environment resulting in industry softness as well as lower share performance.
Article content
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales by 4.0%, primarily due to favorable sales mix as a result of lower contract brewing volumes and positive brand mix as well as increased net pricing. Net sales per hectoliter increased 4.2% reported and 4.3% on a constant currency basis.
Article content
U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP income before income taxes increased 10.5% on a reported basis, primarily due to favorable mix, increased net pricing, lower MG&A expense, favorable unrealized fair value adjustment of the investment in Fevertree Drinks plc and cost savings initiatives, partially offset by lower financial volumes and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses. Lower MG&A spend was primarily due to timing of marketing investment and lower incentive compensation.
Article content
Underlying (Non-GAAP) income (loss) before income taxes: Underlying income before income taxes increased 5.4% in constant currency, primarily due to favorable mix, increased net pricing, lower MG&A expense and cost savings initiatives, partially offset by lower financial volumes and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses.

Article content
U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP income before income taxes decreased 20.2% on a reported basis primarily due to lower financial volumes and higher U.K. waste management fees as a result of the change in the extended producer responsibility regulations, partially offset by lower MG&A expense driven by lower incentive compensation and cost savings, increased net pricing and favorable mix, as well as favorable foreign currency impacts of $5.4 million.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY HIGHLIGHTS
Article content
U.S. GAAP cash from operations: Net cash provided by operating activities of $627.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $267.0 million compared to $894.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower net income adjusted for non-cash items, the unfavorable movement of working capital and higher interest paid, partially offset by lower income taxes paid. The unfavorable movement of working capital was primarily driven by the $60.6 million payment as final resolution of the Keystone litigation case and the timing of payables and inventories, partially offset by lower payments for prior year annual incentive compensation and the timing of receivables.
Underlying (Non-GAAP) free cash flow: Cash provided of $293.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, represents a decrease in cash provided of $211.5 million from the prior year, which was primarily due to a decline in operating cash flows, partially offset by cash impact of non-GAAP adjustment of $60.6 million payment as final resolution of the Keystone litigation case.
Debt: Total debt as of June 30, 2025, was $6,319.3 million and cash and cash equivalents totaled $613.8 million, resulting in net debt of $5,705.5 million and a net debt to underlying EBITDA ratio of 2.41x. As of June 30, 2024, our net debt to underlying EBITDA ratio was 2.13x.
Dividends: We paid cash dividends of $192.7 million and $188.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program: We paid $306.8 million and $375.3 million, including brokerage commissions, for share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

2025 OUTLOOK
Article content
We have adjusted our 2025 guidance for certain key financial metrics due to the impacts of the global macroeconomic environment on the beer industry and consumer trends along with lower-than-expected U.S. share performance. While we have included in our guidance our best estimate of some of these factors, including the indirect tariff impacts on the pricing of aluminum, in particular the Midwest Premium, the impacts of these trends are difficult to predict and include inherent uncertainties that could impact our financial performance beyond what is contemplated in our guidance.
Article content
Net sales: 3% to 4% decline on a constant currency basis, compared to low single-digit decline, previously
Underlying (Non-GAAP) income (loss) before income taxes: 12%-15% decline on a constant currency basis, compared to a low-single digit decline, previously
Underlying (Non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share: 7%-10% decline compared to a low single-digit growth, previously
Underlying (Non-GAAP) net interest expense: $225 million, plus or minus 5%, compared to $215 million, plus or minus 5%, previously
Capital expenditures: $650 million incurred, plus or minus 5% remained unchanged from the first quarter of 2025
Underlying (Non-GAAP) free cash flow: $1.3 billion, plus or minus 10%
Underlying (Non-GAAP) depreciation and amortization: $675 million, plus or minus 5%
Underlying (Non-GAAP) effective tax rate: in the range of 22% to 24%

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Article content
On July 16, 2025, our Board declared a dividend of $0.47 per share, to be paid on September 19, 2025, to shareholders of Class A and Class B common stock of record on September 5, 2025. Shareholders of exchangeable shares will receive the CAD equivalent of dividends declared on Class A and Class B common stock, equal to CAD 0.64 per share.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ('OBBBA') was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA permanently extends certain expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including accelerated tax recovery for certain capital investments and research and development expenditures and the business interest expense limitation. Additionally, the OBBBA includes changes to the taxation of foreign income for U.S.-domiciled businesses. While we are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA to the Company, we do anticipate a decrease in our current year cash tax liability as a result of the OBBBA.

The unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps, which are economic hedges, are recorded as COGS within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility.

Includes gross inter-segment volumes which are eliminated in the consolidated totals.
Article content
Worldwide brand volume (or 'brand volume' when discussed by segment) reflects owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets (net of returns and allowances), royalty volume and our proportionate share of equity investment worldwide brand volume calculated consistently with MCBC owned volume. Financial volume represents owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographical markets, net of returns and allowances as well as contract brewing, wholesale non-owned brand volume and company-owned distribution volume. Contract brewing and wholesale/factored volume is included within financial volume, but is removed from worldwide brand volume, as this is non-owned volume for which we do not directly control performance. Factored volume in our EMEA&APAC segment represents the distribution of beer, wine, spirits and other products owned and produced by other companies to the on-premise channel such as bars and restaurants, which is a common arrangement in the U.K. Royalty volume consists of our brands produced and sold by third parties under various license and contract brewing agreements and, because this is owned volume, it is included in worldwide brand volume. Our worldwide brand volume definition also includes an adjustment from Sales-to-Wholesaler ('STW') volume to Sales-to-Retailer ('STR') volume. We believe the brand volume metric is important because, unlike financial volume and STWs, it provides the closest indication of the performance of our brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends.
Article content
We also utilize net sales per hectoliter and COGS per hectoliter, as well as the year over year changes in these metrics, as key metrics for analyzing our results. These metrics are calculated as net sales and COGS per our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations divided by financial volume for the respective period. We believe these metrics are important and useful for investors and management because it provides an indication of the trends of price and sales mix on our net sales and the trends of sales mix and other cost impacts on our COGS.
Article content
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Article content
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ('U.S. GAAP'), we also use non-GAAP financial measures, as listed and defined below, for operational and financial decision making and to assess Company and segment business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. We have provided reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure.
Article content
Our management uses these metrics to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe these measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance.
Article content
Underlying Income (Loss) before Income Taxes (Closest GAAP Metric: Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes) – Measure of the Company's or segment's income (loss) before income taxes excluding the impact of certain non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. Non-GAAP adjustment items include goodwill and other intangible and tangible asset impairments, certain restructuring and integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, adjustments to the redemption value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests, potential or incurred losses related to certain litigation accruals and settlements, impacts of settlement charges related to annuity purchases and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, among other items included in our U.S. GAAP results that warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective, involve significant management judgment and can vary substantially from company to company.
Underlying COGS (Closest GAAP Metric: COGS) – Measure of the Company's COGS adjusted to exclude non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). Non-GAAP adjustment items include, among other items, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on our commodity derivative instruments, which are economic hedges, and are recorded through COGS within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivatives without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility.
We also use underlying COGS per hectoliter, as well as the year over year change in such metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. This metric is calculated as underlying COGS divided by financial volume for the respective period.
Article content
Underlying MG&A (Closest GAAP Metric: MG&A) – Measure of the Company's MG&A expense excluding the impact of certain non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above).
Underlying net interest income (expense), net (Closest GAAP Metric: Interest income (expense), net) – Measure of the Company's net interest expense adjusted to exclude adjustments to the redemption value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC (Closest GAAP Metric: Net income (loss) attributable to MCBC) – Measure of net income (loss) attributable to MCBC excluding the impact of income (loss) before income tax non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above), adjustments to the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests resulting from subsequent changes in the redemption value of such interests, the related tax effects of non-GAAP adjustment items and certain other discrete tax items.
Underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC per diluted share (also referred to as Underlying Diluted Earnings per Share) (Closest GAAP Metric: Net income (loss) attributable to MCBC per diluted share) – Measure of underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC (as defined above) per diluted share. If applicable, a reported net loss attributable to MCBC per diluted share is calculated using the basic share count due to dilutive shares being antidilutive. If underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC becomes income excluding the impact of our non-GAAP adjustment items, we include the incremental dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, into the dilutive shares outstanding.
Underlying effective tax rate (Closest GAAP Metric: Effective Tax Rate) – Measure of the Company's effective tax rate excluding the related tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above) and certain other discrete tax items. Discrete tax items include certain significant tax audit and prior year reserve adjustments, impact of significant tax legislation and tax rate changes and significant non-recurring and period specific tax items.
Underlying free cash flow (Closest GAAP Metric: Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities) – Measure of the Company's operating cash flow calculated as Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities less Additions to property, plant and equipment and excluding the pre-tax cash flow impact of certain non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). We consider underlying free cash flow an important measure of our ability to generate cash, grow our business and enhance shareholder value, driven by core operations and after adjusting for non-GAAP adjustment items, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets and capital structure.
Underlying depreciation and amortization (Closest GAAP Metric: Depreciation & Amortization) – Measure of the Company's depreciation and amortization excluding the impact of non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). These adjustments primarily consist of accelerated depreciation or amortization taken related to the Company's strategic exit or restructuring activities.
Net debt and net debt to underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ('underlying EBITDA') (Closest GAAP Metrics: Cash, Debt, & Net Income (Loss)) – Measure of the Company's leverage calculated as net debt (defined as current portion of long-term debt and short-term borrowings plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing twelve month underlying EBITDA. Underlying EBITDA is calculated as Net income (loss) excluding Interest expense (income), net, Income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and the impact of non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). Effective January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, Underlying EBITDA excludes amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs. This measure is not the same as the Company's maximum leverage ratio as defined under its revolving credit facility, which allows for other adjustments in the calculation of net debt to EBITDA.
Constant currency – Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure utilized to measure performance, excluding the impact of translational and certain transactional foreign currency movements, and is intended to be indicative of results in local currency. As we operate in various foreign countries where the local currency may strengthen or weaken significantly versus the U.S. dollar or other currencies used in operations, we utilize a constant currency measure as an additional metric to evaluate the underlying performance of each business without consideration of foreign currency movements. We present all percentage changes for net sales, underlying COGS, underlying MG&A and underlying income (loss) before income taxes in constant currency and calculate the impact of foreign exchange by translating our current period local currency results (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) at the average exchange rates during the respective period throughout the year used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year period. The result is the current period results in U.S. dollars, as if foreign exchange rates had not changed from the prior year period. Additionally, we exclude any transactional foreign currency impacts, reported within the other non-operating income (expense), net line item, from our current period results.
Article content
Our guidance or long-term targets for any of the measures noted above are also non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been adjusted for non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. When we provide guidance for any of the various non-GAAP metrics described above, we do not provide reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjustment items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our Company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable efforts.

Free Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $17.3 million compared to $20.5 million in Q2 2024 and $32.2 million in Q1 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, STEP repurchased and cancelled 166,100 shares at an average price of $3.90 per share under its Normal Course Issuer Bid ('NCIB'). STEP continues to strengthen its balance sheet while investing into the long-term sustainability of the business: The Company had Net Debt of $43.9 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $52.7 million at December 31, 2024 and $84.7 million at March 31, 2025. The Company invested $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 into sustaining and optimization capital budget expenditures, ensuring that the fleet maintains a high level of operational readiness while also selectively investing into technology to further STEP's strategy of displacing diesel with natural gas. Working Capital as at June 30, 2025 of $77.0 million was $41.6 million higher than the $35.4 million at December 31, 2024 and $26.5 million lower than the $103.5 million as at March 31, 2025. Working capital fluctuations are typical and are influenced by activity levels and timing of client receipts. Article content SECOND QUARTER 2025 OVERVIEW Article content Commodity prices were volatile throughout the second quarter of 2025, with both oil and natural gas prices down approximately 10% quarter over quarter. The decline in gas prices is partially attributable to the shoulder season, when the reduced demand from winter heating has yet to be replaced by power demand for summer cooling. In addition to the ongoing turmoil created by the U.S. tariffs, oil prices were also impacted by the supply announcements from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ('OPEC') and allied non-OPEC nations ('OPEC+') and the eruption of open hostilities between Israel and Iran. Oil prices traded in a wide range from $57 to $75 (USD) per barrel, with the benchmark West Texas Intermediate ('WTI') crude price averaging $63.72 (USD) per barrel in Q2 2025, down from $71.42 (USD) per barrel in Q1 2025. Henry Hub averaged $3.52 (USD) per million cubic feet ('Mcf') in Q2 2025, down from $3.87 (USD) per Mcf in Q1 2025, while AECO-C Daily averaged $1.75 (CAD) per Mcf in Q2 2025, down from $2.12 (CAD) per Mcf in Q1 2025. Natural gas prices typically benefit from the winter heating season, with colder weather driving higher demand. Article content Oilfield service levels are primarily reflected in drilling rig counts publicly reported by Baker Hughes and estimates made by Primary Vision for fracturing crews in the U.S. Land based drilling rigs in the U.S. averaged 556 rigs in the second quarter, down from 572 rigs in the first quarter. Canadian rig counts were down due to spring break up, averaging 127 during the second quarter, compared to 214 in the first quarter, which is typically the busiest drilling season in Canada. U.S. fracturing fleets declined in the second quarter to an average of 192, down from 202 in the first quarter of 2025. Article content STEP's consolidated revenue in the second quarter was $228.0 million, down from $307.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 and in line with the $231.4 million recorded in the same period from the prior year despite the termination of the U.S. fracturing business. Despite the spring break up conditions, the fracturing service line had good utilization through the quarter, with 312 operating days across six crews, pumping 533 thousand tons of sand. Coiled tubing services were also well utilized, operating 1,227 days across 21 units. Article content Adjusted EBITDA of $34.8 million (15% Adjusted EBITDA %) was down from the $59.0 million (19% Adjusted EBITDA %) in the first quarter of 2025 and down from $41.7 million (18% Adjusted EBITDA %) in the same period last year. The Company's margins continue to be impacted by the cumulative effect of several years of high inflation which increase the cost profile, oversupply of fracturing capacity in the market causing pricing pressure, and increased sand volumes which are generally at lower margins. Article content Net income was $5.9 million in Q2 2025 ($0.08 diluted income per share), lower than the $24.2 million in Q1 2025 ($0.33 diluted income per share) and the $10.5 million net income in Q2 2024 ($0.14 diluted income per share). Net income included $1.7 million in share‐based compensation expense (Q1 2025 ‐ $1.3 million, Q2 2024 ‐ $2.1 million expense) and $1.7 million in finance costs (Q1 2025 ‐ $2.0 million, Q2 2024 ‐ $2.8 million). Article content Free Cash Flow was $17.3 million in Q2 2025 ($0.24 diluted Free Cash Flow per share), sequentially lower than the $32.2 million ($0.43 diluted Free Cash Flow per share) in Q1 2025 and lower than the $20.5 million ($0.28 diluted Free Cash Flow per share) in Q2 2024. While working capital decreased by $26.5 million from the first quarter of 2025 to land at $77.0 million at the end of the second quarter, this was still significantly higher than the $35.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. While the build in working capital is typical for the first half of the year, which follows a slower Q4 that realizes a sizable working capital recovery, the increase in the current year was inflated by the inclusion of $11.4 million in assets held for sale reclassified from property and equipment related to the terminated U.S. fracturing operations. Net Debt decreased to $43.9 million from $52.7 million at the close of 2024. The decrease in Net Debt and improvement in Adjusted EBITDA resulted in a 12-month trailing Funded Debt to Adjusted Bank EBITDA of 0.42:1.00, well under the limit of 3.00:1 in the Company's Credit Facilities (as defined in Capital Management – Debt below). The Company continued its Normal Course Issuer Bid in the second quarter and acquired 166,100 shares at a weighted average price of $3.90 per share in the quarter. Article content Late in the first quarter of 2025, management committed to a plan to terminate the Company's U.S. fracturing operations. Active operations were terminated and equipment has been marshalled to STEP's yards for sale or transfer to Canada. Certain costs associated with legacy fracturing operations and decommissioning were incurred in the second quarter, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA from terminated operations of negative $2.9 million, which is not included in the Q2 reported Adjusted EBITDA of $34.8 million. These costs are expected to reduce to more modest levels for the balance of the year. Article content Market Outlook Article content The initial uncertainty stemming from the decisions made by the U.S. administration has lessened as markets discover that the tactical nature of these decisions means that they are likely to change through the course of negotiations. Similarly, the geopolitical tensions created by the conflict in the Middle East have also eased as the primary actors have backed away from deeper confrontation. Commodity prices continue to look for direction, drifting sideways until a clear catalyst for growth or recession becomes apparent. Article content North American gas prices are shifting from the shoulder season in Q2 to the more pronounced summer power demand season, although high storage levels will limit upside to price until the anticipated draw from new LNG offtake facilities begins to be felt in the markets. Canada's first shipment of liquified natural gas ('LNG') departed the LNG Canada facility on June 30, 2025, marking the successful start of operations for Canada's first large scale LNG export facility. The multiyear outlook for natural gas continues to show promise, with approximately 10 billion cubic feet ('BCF') per day of demand from additional LNG facilities in Canada and the U.S. expected by 2030, in addition to the demand for more power generation. Article content Oil prices have retreated from the second quarter spikes back to the mid $60s (USD) per barrel. Demand has remained relatively resilient, absorbing the additional OPEC+ supply that has been added to the market this year. Global crude oil and related product inventory levels are near the bottom of their five-year range, providing some buffer in the event that demand from the summer driving season isn't enough to consume supply. Oil demand is expected to grow modestly, but catalysts for increased oil production in North America are limited, given the global market dynamics. Article content STEP's revenue is largely driven by natural gas and natural gas liquids ('NGLs'), which should shield STEP's schedule from the worst of the commodity price volatility. However, if the volatility continues and commodity prices weaken it is likely that clients could defer work into later quarters or trim their core capital programs. STEP maintains close contact with its clients and will adjust its operations if activity slows. Article content The third quarter fracturing schedule is expected to see a modest uptick in activity, although more client supplied sand, along with shifting client schedules and competitive pressures will likely result in flat to down sequential revenue. Margins on work with client supplied sand are typically higher relative to margins on work with STEP supplied sand, given the high volumes of sand pumped by many STEP clients. Offsetting this higher margin work is inflation on input costs, driven in many instances by the escalating tariff actions taken by governments around the world. The remission of tariffs on proppant imported from the U.S. provides some relief, but the ongoing tariffs on many products entering the U.S. and Canada are resulting in cost inflation that can be difficult to pass through to clients. STEP's trial of the NGx, Canada's first 100% natural gas powered fracturing pump is expected to see steady utilization as clients respond positively to the increased diesel displacement that this pump offers. Article content Coiled tubing activity is expected to stay relatively steady across all regions, with a slight increase in activity relative to the second quarter. Increased market penetration with STEP's Coil+ split string technology is expected to offset the lower industry demand associated with a slowing rig count. Similar to fracturing, tariffs continue to impact the industry, particularly on the cost of coiled tubing strings, which is tariffed when it enters the U.S. as raw steel and then again when it enters Canada and is tariffed by the Canadian government. STEP has submitted a request for remission of the Canadian tariffs and is optimistic that it will be successful given the recent reversal of tariffs on proppant entering Canada. Article content Expectations for the fourth quarter remain modest. This quarter is typically characterized by slower activity as clients exhaust their annual capital budgets, resulting in margin compression for service providers as increased competition and lower fixed cost leverage weigh on results. The slower than expected ramp in demand coming from newly commissioned LNG facilities in Canada and the U.S. is limiting drawdown of natural gas inventories and is not expected to create sufficient market incentive for producers to add to their capital budgets for the year. Further clarity on this is likely to be forthcoming late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter. Article content Views on 2026 are beginning to clarify, with activity in the first quarter expected to be in line with the first quarter of 2025. Activity levels through the year will likely be affected by the ramp in production at LNG Canada, which will process approximately 2 BCF per day when fully operational. On balance, pricing is largely in line with what was expected in 2025. Increased oilfield service capacity and limited producer growth has put downward pressure on margins relative to 2024. Cost control remains a focus for STEP as it navigates the current economic uncertainty. Article content Free Cash Flow will be committed towards additional fleet investments required for sustaining and optimization needs, as well as additional debt repayment. The increase in STEP's share price and the cautious outlook meant that the NCIB was used only sparingly in the second quarter. The Company will retain the flexibility to engage opportunistically on the NCIB if conditions change.

They are not defined and have no standardized meaning under IFRS. See Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios. Article content Revenue Article content For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue decreased 1% to $228.0 million and 3% to $535.7 million compared to $231.4 million and $551.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Article content Alignment with large scale operators continues to provide a strong baseline of utilization for fracturing and coiled tubing operations in both the quarter and for the year to date. STEP operated six fracturing crews during the quarter, down from eight for the same period of the prior year. Fracturing operating days for the quarter were down 17% and have decreased by 15% for the year to date. The reduction in fracturing crews and operating days is all associated with the termination of U.S. fracturing operations during 2025. Despite the declines in operating days and active fleets, fracturing revenue was up 4% for the quarter and only declined by 2% for the year to date reflecting the increased proppant pumped for the Canadian Frac CGU as a result of higher pumping intensity. Article content STEP deactivated one coiled tubing spread during the quarter bringing the total active spreads back down to 21 which is down two spreads from the prior year. Coiled tubing operating days for the quarter were down 10% and have decreased by 4% for the year to date. New technology offerings and strategic client alignment in all operating basins have allowed the Company to maintain utilization levels per active spread despite the decrease in activity in the market as whole. Article content Operating expenses Article content Operating expenses includes employee costs, direct operating expenses such as repairs, transportation and facility costs, material and inventory costs, depreciation of equipment and share-based compensation for operational employees. The following table provides a summary of operating expenses: Article content Employee costs and general operating expenses decreased slightly compared to the prior year for both the quarter and year to date as the wind down of U.S. fracturing operations was partially offset by inflationary impacts. Article content Material and inventory costs increased significantly compared to the prior year for both the quarter and year to date as changes in sand mix, increases in STEP supplied sand and currency fluctuations increased the cost of materials. Article content Selling, general and administrative expenses Article content The following table provides a summary of selling, general and administrative expenses: Article content Selling, general and administrative expenses were in line with the prior year for both the quarter and year to date. Share-based compensation expense was slightly lower in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 as the share price was lower, however this was largely offset by higher employee costs. For the year to date, the higher employee costs in 2025 compared to the prior year have been largely offset by reduced general expenses. Article content Terminated Operations Article content Results from consolidated operations include the results from the terminated operations presented below. In the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. fracturing CGU was subject to changes in business conditions that materially impacted its expected economic performance. As a result, STEP decided to exit this market and terminated all further work related to these operations. The results of the terminated operations are as follows: Article content ($000's) Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 U.S. Fracturing services terminated operations Fracturing operating days (1) – 72 54 189 Proppant pumped (tonnes) – 137,000 155,330 409,000 Fracturing crews – 2 – 2 (1) An operating day is defined as any coiled tubing or fracturing work that is performed in a 24-hour period, exclusive of support equipment. Article content NON-IFRS MEASURES AND RATIOS Article content This Press Release includes terms and performance measures commonly used in the oilfield services industry that are not defined under IFRS. The terms presented are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures have no standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The non-IFRS measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's quarterly financial statements and Annual Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Article content 'Adjusted EBITDA' is a financial measure not presented in accordance with IFRS and is equal to net (loss) income before finance costs, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on disposal of property and equipment, current and deferred income tax provisions and recoveries, equity and cash settled share-based compensation, transaction costs, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, foreign exchange (gain) loss, impairment losses and Adjusted EBITDA from terminated operations (1). 'Adjusted EBITDA %' is a non-IFRS ratio and is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA % are presented because they are widely used by the investment community as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's normal course business activities prior to considering how the activities are financed and the results are taxed. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA % internally to evaluate operating and segment performance, because management believes they provide better comparability between periods. Article content STEP has expanded the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the Adjusted EBITDA from terminated operations in order to provide clarity on the Company's normal course business activities to users of these documents. As a reminder, in Q1 2025, the U.S. fracturing CGU was subject to changes in business conditions that materially impacted its expected future economic performance. As a result, STEP began an orderly process to terminate operations of this CGU following completion of the work scope in Q1 2025. The Company expects to transfer the U.S. fracturing CGU's recently refurbished Tier 4 dual fuel equipment to Canada and will dispose of the remaining equipment over the next several quarters. As not all the equipment is being disposed of, the accounting presentation does not meet the test for the IFRS standard for discontinued operations. Article content The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of net income: Article content (1) Article content Adjusted EBITDA from terminated operations is calculated in the same manner as the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA but does not include non-applicable items, such as unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives nor foreign exchange losses (gain) amounts. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA from terminated operations is as follows: Article content ($000s except percentages) Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net loss from terminated U.S. fracturing operations, net of taxes $ (4,976) $ (8,839) $ (9,009) $ (7,621) Add (deduct): Depreciation and amortization 2,351 11,966 5,842 18,528 Gain on disposal of equipment (289) (1,792) (675) (1,883) Finance costs 65 151 93 293 Income tax recovery – (1,568) – (1,100) Share-based compensation – equity settled (88) 55 (258) 154 Adjusted EBITDA from terminated operations $ (2,937) $ (27) $ (4,007) $ 8,371 Article content 'Free Cash Flow' is a financial measure not presented in accordance with IFRS and is equal to net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash Working Capital from operating activities, sustaining capital expenditures, term loan principal repayments and lease payments (net of sublease receipts). The Company may deduct or include additional items in its calculation of Free Cash Flow that are unusual, non-recurring or non-operating in nature. Free Cash Flow is presented as this measure is widely used in the investment community as an indication of the level of cash flow generated by ongoing operations. Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flows to manage debt levels, invest in the growth of the business or return capital to shareholders. The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measure of Free Cash Flow to the IFRS financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities. Article content 'Free Cash Flow per share-basic' is a financial measure not presented in accordance with IFRS and is equal to Free Cash Flow divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic. Management uses Free Cash Flow per share-basic to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flows to manage debt levels, invest in the growth of the business or return capital to shareholders on a normalized per basic share basis. The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measure of Free Cash Flow per share-basic to the IFRS financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities. Article content 'Free Cash Flow per share-diluted' is a financial measure not presented in accordance with IFRS and is equal to Free Cash Flow divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted. Management uses Free Cash Flow per share-basic to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flows to manage debt levels, invest in the growth of the business or return capital to shareholders on a normalized per diluted share basis. The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measure of Free Cash Flow per share-basic to the IFRS financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities. Article content 'Working Capital', 'Total long-term financial liabilities' and 'Net Debt' are financial measures not presented in accordance with IFRS. 'Working Capital' is equal to total current assets less total current liabilities. 'Total long-term financial liabilities' is comprised of loans and borrowings, long-term lease obligations and other liabilities. 'Net Debt' is equal to loans and borrowings before deferred financing charges less cash and cash equivalents and CCS derivatives. The data presented is intended to provide additional information about items on the statement of financial position and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Article content The following table represents the composition of the non-IFRS financial measure of Working Capital (including cash and cash equivalents). Article content The following table presents the composition of the non-IFRS financial measure of Total long-term financial liabilities. Article content The following table presents the composition of the non-IFRS financial measure of Net Debt. Article content RISK FACTORS AND RISK MANAGEMENT Article content The oilfield services industry involves many risks, which may influence the ultimate success of the Company. The risks and uncertainties set out in the AIF and Annual MD&A are not the only ones the Company is facing.

City evicts community garden from land that's been vacant for decades

A Saskatoon community garden on a longstanding vacant lot is being sent out to pasture days before harvest is set to begin. On Wednesday, the city's planning, development and community services committee heard passionate pleas from members of the Rotary Community Garden Collective, who operate a community garden on 1202 19th Street West. The group received an eviction letter on July 23rd, saying the address must be cleared of all garden material and equipment by Aug. 21 so the land, which is known to be contaminated, can be remediated and prepared for future development. 'The letter of eviction came as a complete surprise,' Miki Mappin, a coordinator with the collective said following Wednesday's meeting. 'It seems almost absurd the that the city would take a community garden that is doing really well in a very difficult location and give that garden 29 days notice to get out.' The vacant lot was handed over to the city in 2001 after a tax lien was placed on it in 1993. The land, which has a current outstanding tax balance of $94,800 has remained vacant since the city took over responsibility. From 2018 to 2023, CHEP Good Food Inc. operated a raised bed garden, before transferring it over to Rotary Community Garden Collective in 2024. However, the issues beneath the surface go back many decades. According to city records, Imperial Oil built on the northwest corner of 19th Street West and Avenue L South in 1911. The complex included a warehouse, storage tanks, and two small frame structures. Imperial Oil closed in 1976, and the property slowly fell into disrepair and was abandoned in 1995, along with an adjacent tank yard. The city has long looked to redevelop the site, but environmental assessments and technical studies needed to clean up the land have proved too costly. The city says the most recent environmental investigations for the address were conducted in 2002 and identified hydrocarbon and metal impacts. Saskatoon community garden eviction (Dan Shingoose / CTV News) City administration applied for funding from the province to improve the site in April but was denied. Imperial Oil and the city began discussing remediation work when Imperial showed an interest in remediating its land adjacent to the city-owned land. 'This evolved very, very quickly, and the timelines from the contractors also evolved very quickly,' said Leslie Anderson, the director of planning and development. Anderson said the work Imperial is offering to do would save the city roughly $500,000. Mappin feels the city is being forced into a decision, and it's not working hard enough to find solutions. 'I think, council and the community are being railroaded by the administration — and I think the administration is allowing itself to be railroaded by Imperial Oil,' Mappin said. 'It's surprising that the city departments are putting such difficulties for things that should be really simple.' Anderson couldn't say what could be done to salvage harvest this season for the garden. The city said it planned to reach out and discuss options but hadn't done so yet. One option was to put the garden equipment into storage for the winter and find a suitable location in time for 2026. 'There's just no perfect way forward, unfortunately, where we sit today,' Mayor Cynthia Block said. Mappin prefers the garden area to be left alone while work begins, then have it moved once another area large enough is ready. She said the group wants to keep the garden nearby and wants to avoid it being put in storage and then have it moved again to avoid losing momentum. She says the open garden is used by many people in the area and is often a stopping ground for homeless people. She says one man who helped out many times last year has since found housing in Prince Albert and attributes his efforts on the garden last year to his success in finding safe housing. 'Rotary Community Garden is not just about growing food, it's about growing relationships and community well-being,' said Bonnie Hellman, a supporter of the garden. The city hopes it can complete remediation work this summer and fall and begin to redevelop the site for people 'experiencing housing insecurity and help address other community social considerations.' Regardless of the city's goals, Mappin hopes the garden can return to its small area on the corner of the property. 'We wonder if there's another agenda, why they want us out and why they don't want us back in this site,' Mappin said. 'Because after remediation, the site may remain empty for years until somebody decides to build on it.'

‘He's not waiting until 2026': Trump likely to reopen CUSMA trade pact in the fall, Doug Ford warns

Article content OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is warning that U.S. President Donald Trump could choose to suddenly 'pull the carpet out from underneath us' by opening up the trade agreement his administration negotiated with Canada during his first term. Article content He said Ottawa needs to prepare for that to happen this fall. Article content Article content Ford made the comments after the country's premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney met in private for the first time since Trump escalated his trade war by hitting Canada with a baseline 35 per cent tariff last week. Article content Article content The new tariff, which took effect on Friday after the two countries failed to hit an Aug. 1 deadline to secure a new trade agreement, applies only to goods not covered by the Canada-United States-Mexico agreement on free trade, better known as CUSMA. Article content Article content 'He's not waiting until 2026. At any given time, President Trump — not that he even follows the rules — he can pull the carpet out from underneath us on CUSMA tomorrow with one signature,' Ford told reporters at Queen's Park in Toronto Wednesday afternoon as he called for swift action to bolster the economy. Article content 'So let's be prepared. I think it'll be coming in November. He's going to come at us with double barrels, so we better be ready and throw everything and the kitchen sink at this.' Article content Ontario is at odds with Saskatchewan over Canada's response to the escalating trade war. Ford has called for immediate retaliation, while Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is urging Ottawa to dial down its retaliatory tariffs. Article content Article content 'Maybe it's time for Canada even to at least not add additional counter-tariffs in this space, but to even consider removing some of the counter-tariffs that are harmful to Canadian businesses and Saskatchewan businesses today,' Moe said during a radio interview earlier Wednesday, adding the country is currently largely 'protected' under the CUSMA trade pact. Article content Article content Ahead of the meeting with Carney, Ford said he's frustrated by the impacts of high U.S. tariffs on his province's economy and called again for retaliatory tariffs. Article content 'You can't have tariffs on one side and not the other. I still stand by what I say — dollar for dollar, tariff for tariff. They understand strength, not weakness, and we should never, ever roll over and be weak,' Ford told reporters at a news conference Wednesday in Thornhill, Ont. Article content Ford said he told Carney and the premiers that if Ottawa chooses not to hike tariffs in its response, the threshold at which steel products become subject to tariffs should be lowered.
