Pason Systems Inc (PSYTF) reported an 8% increase in consolidated revenue for Q1 2025, reaching $113.2 million compared to $104.8 million in Q1 2024.
The North American drilling segment outperformed industry conditions, with a 3% revenue increase despite a 3% decrease in industry activity.
The completion segment achieved a 25% revenue growth year-over-year, setting a new quarterly record.
Energy Tool Base, part of the solar and energy storage segment, saw a 98% increase in revenue year-over-year, reaching $7.4 million.
Pason Systems Inc (PSYTF) maintained a strong balance sheet with $87.4 million in total cash and no interest-bearing debt, allowing for growth investments and shareholder returns.
Net income for Q1 2025 was $20 million, significantly down from $69.5 million in Q1 2024, due to a non-recurring accounting gain in the previous year.
The international drilling segment faced challenges, with a 4% decrease in revenue due to reduced activity in Argentina.
Adjusted EBITDA margin slightly decreased to 39.9% from the previous year, attributed to lower margins in the completions and solar segments.
Geopolitical factors and potential economic recession pose uncertainties for future industry conditions.
Potential exposure to tariffs could impact capital expenditures, although the company has taken proactive measures to mitigate this risk.
Q: Can you discuss Pason Systems' potential exposure to tariffs and any estimated financial impact? A: Celine Boston, CFO, explained that Pason Systems is closely monitoring the evolving tariff situation. The company manufactures and repairs equipment on both sides of the Canada-US border, providing some flexibility. They have proactively pulled forward capital expenditures to mitigate potential impacts. Currently, they do not expect significant financial impact from tariffs but will continue to monitor the situation.
Q: What are the drivers behind the year-over-year revenue improvement in the completion segment, despite market softness? A: Jon Faber, CEO, noted that the improvement is not significantly related to oil versus gas. The company is seeing positive effects from M&A activities settling and new customer additions. These factors, along with increased product adoption, have contributed to the revenue growth.
Q: Are there any green shoots in terms of new customer additions or growth potential with existing customers? A: Jon Faber, CEO, expressed optimism about opportunities with both new and existing customers. However, he cautioned that market uncertainty might slow new technology adoption. The company is well-positioned with no significant capacity constraints, leveraging operational staff across segments to meet demand.
Q: What is the potential long-term opportunity in Argentina, particularly regarding revenue per day for unconventional versus conventional wells? A: Jon Faber, CEO, explained that revenue per day in Argentina has historically been lower due to conventional wells using fewer products. As the market shifts to unconventional wells, revenue per day could increase significantly, aligning more closely with North American rates.
Q: Is Pason Systems considering M&A opportunities, or is the focus on organic growth? A: Jon Faber, CEO, stated that the company is not actively seeking M&A opportunities, as they see significant growth potential within their existing operations. The most attractive M&A opportunity currently is share repurchases, given the company's growth prospects and current share prices.

Which airlines paused or cancelled flights after Israel's attack on Iran?
Several airlines have suspended or cancelled flights in the Middle East and some countries have shut their airspace after Israel launched a wave of air strikes on Iran. The Israeli attacks targeted military facilities, nuclear sites and residential areas, killing two senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. Here is a list of suspended and rerouted flights: Emirates, the Middle East's largest airline, said it had cancelled flights to and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran. Several flights scheduled for Friday and one Tehran flight on Saturday were listed as cancelled on the airline's website. Qatar Airways, the country's national carrier and one of the Middle East's largest, said it had 'temporarily cancelled flights to Iran and Iraq due to (the) current situation in the region'. El Al Airlines, an Israeli flag carrier, said it had suspended flights to and from Israel and was moving some of its planes out of the country. Israir, a budget Israeli carrier, said it was evacuating its planes from Tel Aviv airport, which it said was expected to remain closed through the weekend. Flydubai, or the Dubai Aviation Corporation, a budget carrier, said it had suspended flights to Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Iran and Israel and a number of other flights had been cancelled, rerouted or returned to their departure airports. Etihad Airways and Turkish Airlines diverted some flights to Baku, Azerbaijan, according to Heydar Aliyev International Airport. Lufthansa, the largest airline in Germany, has suspended all flights to and from Tehran. In a statement, the company added that it would also avoid 'Iranian, Iraqi and Israeli airspace for now'. Air India, a flag carrier of the subcontinent which overflies Iran for its Europe and North American flights, said several flights were being diverted or returned to their origin, including ones from New York, Vancouver, Chicago and London. Aeroflot, Russia's flagship airline, cancelled flights between Moscow and Tehran. In a statement, the airline said that flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and the Maldives have been rerouted through Pakistani airspace. Some countries have also closed their airspace following the attacks. Iran's official news agency IRNA reported that aviation authorities have shut down the country's airspace until further notice. Early on Friday, Iraq closed its airspace and suspended all traffic at its airports, Iraqi state media reported. Eastern Iraq near the border with Iran contains one of the world's busiest air corridors, with dozens of flights crossing between Europe and the Gulf, many on routes from Asia to Europe, at any single moment. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's civil aviation authority has also said it 'temporarily' closed Jordanian airspace to all flights 'in anticipation of any dangers resulting from the escalation happening in the region'. Last year, some Iranian missiles that targeted Israeli military bases flew over Jordan, which sits between Israel and Iraq.

Market Value to Surpass $575 Billion - Biotechnology Advances Enhance Soy Derivatives for Diverse Consumer Needs
The global soybean derivatives market, valued at USD 262.6 billion in 2025, is projected to reach USD 576 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 9.1%. Key drivers include rising plant-based diets, protein demand, and sustainable sourcing. Major sectors span food, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals. Soybean Derivatives Market Dublin, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Soybean Derivatives Market Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, and Forecast 2025-2034 | Global Industry Growth, Competitive Landscape, Opportunities, and Challenges" has been added to offering. The global soybean derivatives market is projected to reach USD 576 billion by 2034, growing from USD 262.6 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 9.1% This sector remains a significant component of the agriculture and food ingredients industry, involving products like soybean oil, meal, proteins, lecithin, and isoflavones. These derivatives serve vital roles in food and beverage, animal feed, pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial applications, appreciated for their nutritional value, versatility, and cost-effectiveness globally. Soybean oil leads global edible oil consumption, while soybean meal is essential in high-protein animal feeds. The increasing preference for plant-based diets has spurred the demand for soy-based proteins and emulsifiers. As processed foods and functional beverages incorporate more soy derivatives, these products gain strategic importance amid sustainability and nutrition efforts. In 2024, the market saw moderate growth boosted by steady soybean productivity and evolving demand. Particularly in the Asia-Pacific and North American regions, soy protein concentrates and isolates are advancing plant-based food innovations. Soy lecithin's role in clean-label emulsifiers and nutraceuticals is rising, and soybean meal maintains its status as the primary protein in animal feeds, with improvements in digestibility and nutritional value. As for soybean oil, its increase in usage is noted in snack foods and sauces, albeit with some price fluctuations due to climatic conditions and biodiesel regulations. Non-GMO derivatives are gaining ground in premium markets, notably in Europe. This shift reflects consumers' growing interest in traceable, responsibly sourced ingredients. Companies are increasingly investing in supply chain transparency amid tightening scrutiny on deforestation and land use in soybean regions. Looking to 2025 onward, the soybean derivatives market foresees enhanced diversification and technological integration. Innovations in enzyme-assisted processing and fermentation are expected to enhance soy derivatives' bioavailability for food and pharmaceutical uses. The emergence of plant-based diets continues to drive soy ingredient demand in functional foods, sports nutrition, and meal replacements. Additionally, as traditional animal protein production grows in Latin America and Southeast Asia, the demand for soybean meal remains robust. Soy isoflavones are predicted to gain traction in preventive health products, appealing to aging populations interested in hormone-balancing supplements. Sustainability metrics will drive procurement trends, pushing producers toward regenerative practices and low-carbon processing. Notwithstanding, challenges such as trade dependencies and allergen concerns linger, urging innovations in soy alternatives and clearer supply chain transparency. Key Trends in the Soybean Derivatives Market: Rising use of soy lecithin as a clean-label emulsifier is boosting demand for non-GMO and allergen-friendly variants. The expansion of soy protein applications in sports nutrition and dairy alternatives reshapes functional food products. Increasing emphasis on traceability and sustainable sourcing prompts investment in digital supply chain tools. The popularity of soy isoflavones in nutraceuticals for menopausal and cardiovascular health is growing. Advancements in biotechnology are creating enzyme-treated and fermented soy derivatives with improved profiles. Key Drivers of the Market: Global protein demand in food and feed strengthens soybean meal and soy protein consumption. Shift towards plant-based diets increases use in meat alternatives, dairy-free products, and wellness foods. Soy derivatives' yield efficiency favours them as a raw material in emerging markets. Regulatory support for sustainable ingredients fosters wider adoption in health-focused products.

Whole Foods' distributor supplying stores on 'limited basis' after cyberattack
Whole Foods and other U.S. grocers are only being partially stocked as a major food distributor continues to grapple with a recent cyber attack, a recent earnings call revealed. North American wholesale distributor United Natural Foods confirmed this week that it was forced to take some of its systems offline after noticing unauthorized activity. At a financial quarter meeting Tuesday, June 10, CEO Sandy Douglas said the wholesale distributor is only supplying customers on a "limited basis" amid the crisis. "We are partnering with customers across the country and across our formats in various short term mode to serve their needs as best as we possibly can," Douglas told investors. "Any way that we can help them meet their needs, we're doing." The company is working with the FBI and other authorities to determine how to resume services and why the technology defenses failed, according to Douglas. "We just got penetrated, so we will be continuing to look at every aspect of our defense, every aspect of how our tools are working, and what may be necessary to bolster it going forward, because it's clearly an area that requires a tremendous amount of focus from companies today," he said. Users on social media have reported shelves being empty at some Whole Foods locations with signs apologizing for the inconvenience and promising to resupply soon. A Whole Foods spokesperson told USA TODAY on Monday, June 9 that the supermarket chain is working to restock its shelves as fast as possible and said it apologizes for any inconveniences. When asked why the company hesitated to inform investors about the cyberattack and system shutdown, Douglas denied there being a delay. Douglas clarified company officials noticed unauthorized activity in its systems on June 5 and investigated whether it was isolated. By the afternoon of June 6, the company made the decision to lock its systems down. On June 9, it filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to inform shareholders before the market opened. "So there is no way that we could have communicated any faster, and there was no trading," Douglas added. He also he was unable to confirm whether the shutdown has required customers to break contracts, adding "I wouldn't be able to factually answer that question, even if I was inclined to disclose it." "The focus is making sure we serve the customers and have them be able to do whatever they need to do the best they can in this environment," he said.
