ADF Group Inc (ADFJF) reported a strong order backlog exceeding $300 million as of April 30, 2025, indicating potential future revenue growth.
The company closed the first quarter with a robust cash and cash equivalents position of $75.3 million, which is $15.3 million higher than the previous quarter.
Net income for the quarter was $8.7 million, benefiting from lower net financial expenses and a $2.9 million foreign exchange gain.
ADF Group Inc (ADFJF) successfully completed its NCIB program, repurchasing 1.8 million shares, which reflects confidence in the company's value.
The company anticipates an increase in revenues and profitability in the second half of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, based on current market conditions.
Revenues for the quarter decreased significantly to $55.5 million from $107.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to US tariffs.
Gross margin decreased by $19.1 million, with margins dropping from 29.2% to 22% year-over-year, impacted by tariffs and increased steel prices.
The uncertainty surrounding US tariffs has caused delays in fabrication hours, particularly affecting the Terrebonne plant in Quebec.
The company faced a loss of certain business opportunities due to the imposition of tariffs, affecting its US client base.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $6.3 million, but this was mainly due to adjustments in market value of deferred share units and performance share units, not operational improvements.
Q: Can you clarify if the expected growth in the second half of the year implies year-over-year growth back to the $80 million plus level, or is it growth over the quarter reported today? A: Based on current knowledge, we expect revenues to return to levels seen last year, around $80 to $85 million, assuming current conditions remain unchanged. - Jean Paschini, CEO
Q: How are contract discussions going with clients regarding exemptions? Are you seeing more receptiveness, and should we expect new contracts soon? A: We anticipate new contracts in the coming months, though it's uncertain if they will be US contracts due to ongoing tariff uncertainties. Conversations with clients are positive, but the situation remains fluid. - Jean-Francois Boursier, CFO
Q: Are you seeing any momentum with Canadian clients, given that this quarter was almost entirely US-focused? A: Yes, there is significant momentum with Canadian clients, and we see substantial potential in this area. - Jean-Francois Boursier, CFO
Q: With the NCIB completed and a large cash balance, what are your plans for capital allocation? Are you considering paying down debt or any CapEx projects? A: We are exploring various CapEx projects and scenarios to utilize our cash effectively, focusing on projects within our shop. - Jean-Francois Boursier, CFO
Q: What are your expectations for the second half of the fiscal year in terms of revenue and profitability? A: We expect an increase in revenues and profitability for the second half of the fiscal year, supported by a strong order backlog exceeding $300 million. - Jean Paschini, CEO

('Xebra') (CSE:XBRA)(FSE:9YC), a international cannabis company, announces that it intends to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares (the 'Common Shares') on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share (the 'Consolidation'). As of the date hereof, there are 84,144,855 Common Shares issued and outstanding and on a post-Consolidation basis, the Company shall have approximately 8,414,486 Common Shares issued and outstanding. No fractional Common Shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. Any fractional interest in Common Shares that is less than 0.5 of a Common Share resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share, and any fractional interest in Common Shares that is equal to or greater than 0.5 of a Common Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole Common Share. The Common Shares will be expected begin trading on a consolidated basis and with a new CUSIP number on or around August 28, 2025, subject to regulatory approvals, including the approval of the CSE. Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the articles of the Company, shareholder approval of Consolidation is not required. Shareholders of the Company who hold their shares through a securities broker or dealer, bank or trust company will not be required to take any measures with respect to the Consolidation. Xebra's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ('Computershare'), will mail a letter of transmittal to all registered shareholders of Xebra that will contain instructions for exchanging their pre-Consolidation Common Shares for post-Consolidation Common Shares.

The Company will provide updates as further information regarding the Annual Financial Filings becomes available. Until the Annual Financial Filings are completed, the MCTO will remain in effect.
