TERRAVEST ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID FOR ITS COMMON SHARES
VEGREVILLE, AB, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - TerraVest Industries Inc. (" TerraVest" or the " Corporation") (TSX: TVK) announced today that it has received the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX") to make a normal course issuer bid (the " Bid") for up to 1,558,516 of its issued and outstanding common shares (the " Shares") on the TSX. Purchases under the Bid may commence on August 22, 2025 and will terminate on August 21, 2026 or on such earlier date as the Bid is complete. Purchases of Shares will be made either through the facilities of the TSX in accordance with its rules or through alternative Canadian trading systems. The average daily trading volume of the Shares for the six calendar months ended July 31, 2025 (" ADTV") was 91,713 Shares. Subject to the TSX's block purchase exception, on any trading day, purchases under the Bid will not exceed 22,928 Shares. The price that the Corporation will pay for any Shares purchased under the Bid will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. Any Shares purchased by the Corporation will be cancelled. As of August 8, 2025, there were 21,685,695 Shares issued and outstanding. The 1,558,516 Shares that may be repurchased under the Bid represent approximately 10% of the public float of Shares on August 8, 2025. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has authorized the Bid because it believes that it is an efficient use of the Corporation's financial resources to purchase Shares when the market price of the Shares does not fully reflect their underlying value. This news release contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this news release are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook of TerraVest; statements related to the timing and quantity of any purchases of Shares under the Bid, our strategic direction and evaluation of the business segments and TerraVest as a whole; and other plans and objectives of or involving TerraVest. Readers can identify many of these statements by looking for words such as "expects", "may" and "will" or similar terms or variations of these words. Although management believes that the expectations represented in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and, accordingly, forward- looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. We caution readers of this news release not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because a number of factors may cause actual future circumstances, results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the plans, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements and the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements. Assumptions and analysis about the performance of TerraVest as a whole and its business segments, the markets in which the business segments compete and the prospects and values of the business segments are considered in setting the business plan for TerraVest, plans and/or ability to pay dividends, outlook for operations, financial position, results and cash flows, other plans and objectives and in making related forward-looking statements. Such assumptions include, without limitation, demand for products and services of the business segments in respect of the Canadian and other markets in which the businesses are active will be stable, and that input costs to business segments do not vary significantly from levels experienced historically. Should any of these factors or assumptions vary, actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

AKITA Drilling rebounds to profit in Q2 2025
Could it reflect a broader recovery in energy services and signal renewed confidence in the company's strategic direction? AKITA Drilling (TSX:AKT.A) delivered a solid financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, reporting net income of C$2.3 million, a dramatic turnaround from a C$0.5 million loss in the same period last year. Coming on the heels to a successful start to the year, these results reflect a surge in U.S. drilling activity, improved operational efficiency, and disciplined financial management. This article is disseminated in partnership with Akita Drilling Ltd. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Strong top-line growth and margin expansion AKITA's revenue rose 29 per cent year-over-year to C$49.6 million, driven primarily by its U.S. operations, which saw a 36 per cent increase in revenue to C$38.7 million. The Canadian segment posted modest growth, with revenue up 11 per cent to C$10.9 million. Operating margin for the quarter climbed 40 per cent to C$11.9 million, with consolidated margin percentage improving to 24 per cent, up from 22 per cent in Q2 2024. This margin expansion was supported by higher utilization and cost efficiencies, particularly in the U.S. division. U.S. division leads the charge Despite a broader industry slowdown in rig counts, AKITA's U.S. segment recorded 875 operating days, a 40 per cent increase from 623 in Q2 2024. This translated into a 42 per cent jump in adjusted operating margin, reaching C$9.8 million. While adjusted revenue per operating day declined slightly due to pricing pressure, AKITA offset this with lower operating expenses per day and a one-time drill pipe sale. Excluding this sale, adjusted revenue per day fell 6 per cent, but adjusted operating margin per day still rose 1 per cent to C$11,151. Canadian division steady, but margins under pressure In Canada, AKITA maintained stable activity levels with 490 operating days, up from 473 in Q2 2024. However, adjusted operating margin remained flat at C$4.4 million, and per-day margins declined due to the absence of a labor contract that had boosted profitability in the prior year. Excluding the impact of that contract, adjusted operating margin per day actually increased 4 per cent, reflecting modest day rate improvements and operational discipline. Cash flow and balance sheet strength AKITA's financial health improved significantly in Q2 2025: Adjusted funds flow from operations rose 54 per cent to C$9.8 million rose 54 per cent to Net cash from operating activities jumped 67 per cent to C$18.2 million jumped 67 per cent to Working capital release totaled C$11.5 million, up from C$7.0 million in Q2 2024 The company also reduced its total debt by 24 per cent, bringing it down to C$39.7 million and achieving a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.53:1. This milestone triggered the launch of AKITA's return of capital strategy, beginning with a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) initiated on August 6, 2025. This news has been welcomed by the investment community and has helped drive overall gains for the company's stock, which has gained more than 26 per cent since the year began. Leadership insights 'We have made significant progress in de- leveraging the company over the past three years, reducing debt from C$95 million at March 31, 2022 to C$39.7 million at June 30, 2025,' Colin Dease, AKITA's president and chief executive officer stated in a news release. 'We are pleased with this accomplishment and appreciate our shareholders' patience during this deleveraging phase. We are excited to announce the launch of an NCIB as the first step to return value to our shareowners. What this means for AKITA AKITA's Q2 2025 results mark a pivotal moment for the company. The return to profitability, strong cash generation, and reduced leverage position AKITA to pursue shareholder returns while maintaining operational flexibility. The U.S. division's performance demonstrates resilience and growth potential even in a challenging market, while the Canadian segment remains a stable contributor. With its internal leverage threshold met and capital return underway, AKITA is signaling confidence in its financial trajectory and commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
