Atlas Engineered Products Announces Acquisition of Truss-Worthy Construction Systems Inc. in Ontario, Canada
, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Atlas Engineered Products ("AEP" or the "Company") (TSXV: AEP) (OTC Markets: APEUF) announced today that the Company has completed the acquisition of Truss-Worthy Construction Systems Inc. ("Truss-Worthy") located in Colborne, Ontario, Canada. Truss-Worthy is a manufacturer of roof trusses and a supplier of engineered wood products ("EWP"). "I am excited to announce the acquisition of our 9 th manufacturing facility, especially with the strategic positioning it brings in combination with the 42 acres we purchased in December 2024. This acquisition links another piece to our national footprint with coverage on the Eastern side of Toronto," said Hadi Abassi, CEO, President and Founder of the Company. "Truss-Worthy fits nicely into our overall, long term strategic plan and we are excited to have this location join the AEP group of companies. The Company is also still anticipating closing an acquisition in Western Canada and will maintain a disciplined approach to acquiring new manufacturing facilities that fit our long-term goals." The acquisition of Truss-Worthy was completed effective May 30 th, 2025. To acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Truss-Worthy, the Company paid a purchase price of $1.575 million with a working capital adjustment to be determined and finalized within 90 days of closing date of the SPA. Additionally, the Company is acquiring the land and buildings from the current landlord on which Truss-Worthy's facilities are located for a purchase price of $850,000. The purchase price for the business operations and the land and building was paid for with cash. Unaudited fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, Truss-Worthy generated just over $2 million in revenues, net income of over $300,000 and non-IFRS measure normalized EBITDA of approximately $355,000 (see "Non-GAAP/Non-IFRS Financial Measures"). The three-year average non-IFRS measure normalized EBITDA was approximately $730,000, resulting in a 2.16x EBITDA for the business operations, excluding the land and buildings. Moving forward, the Company anticipates being able to bring its considerable operating synergies and material buying power to Truss-Worthy's operations as well as the significant expansion possibilities. This acquisition is a small location but aligns with the Company's strategic acquisition plan and links the Company's geographical footprint with the purchase of 42 acres at 281 Purdy Road in Colborne, Ontario announced in December 2024. This strategic acquisition allows the Company to develop the market and gain customer relationships in the area ahead of further potential development at the 42-acre property. Development of the 42-acre property will greatly expand the geographical reach of the Company in the surrounding area, provinces, and the United States.

One of Australia's biggest energy company compares Victoria to North Korea
D'Ambrosio on Wednesday said a combination of lower demand and new gas investment – including a $350 million ExxonMobil and Woodside program to drill new wells in Bass Strait – had helped push out the market operator's forecast gas shortfall from 2028 to 2029. Loading The Victorian government had approved the only new application for a gas production permit it had received in the past 10 years, and was seeking to fast-track other approvals, she added. 'We've always said gas is part of our energy transition,' D'Ambrosio said. 'We're working to bring on more gas supply.' There are eight gas-exploration permits onshore in Victoria and three exploration permits in offshore Victorian waters. Speaking at the Australian Energy Producers (AEP) conference in Brisbane on Wednesday, Gallagher said ambiguity over state and federal environmental approvals processes made Australia one of the most difficult places to sanction new investments. 'We've got 100 years of gas under our feet,' he said. But only a 'fraction' of Australia's known prospective gas basins were presently in development, he said. Work ground to a halt at Santos's $5.8 billion Barossa gas project off the Northern Territory in 2023 after environmental lawyers secured last-minute legal orders to block the construction of a pipeline by arguing the company had not adequately consulted Tiwi Islander traditional owners – claims that were later dismissed. Loading Its controversial Narrabri gas project in northern NSW, which could deliver up to half of NSW's natural gas needs, has also run into years of delays amid legal appeals and objections from environmental activists, some landholders and the Gomeroi traditional owners, who fear the plans to drill 850 gas wells could inflict irreversible damage on their culture, lands and waters and worsen global warming. Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King this week put oil and gas executives on notice that the re-elected Albanese government will make them do more to avert local energy shortfalls. Speaking at the AEP conference on Tuesday, King said Australians were 'tired of seeing our vast gas resources exported overseas' while paying high prices at home. Some Australian LNG producers were 'doing the right thing' in ensuring the market had enough gas, added King, who pointed to agreements struck this year to divert an extra nine petajoules of gas to stave off a quarterly supply deficit. 'I thank them for that,' she said. 'But there remains a lot of work to do to ensure the domestic market remains well supplied.'

At CA$0.77, Is It Time To Put Atlas Engineered Products Ltd. (CVE:AEP) On Your Watch List?
Atlas Engineered Products Ltd. (CVE:AEP), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the TSXV, rising to highs of CA$1.00 and falling to the lows of CA$0.72. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Atlas Engineered Products' current trading price of CA$0.77 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let's take a look at Atlas Engineered Products's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Good news, investors! Atlas Engineered Products is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is CA$1.27, but it is currently trading at CA$0.77 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What's more interesting is that, Atlas Engineered Products's share price is theoretically quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to move to its intrinsic value, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta. Check out our latest analysis for Atlas Engineered Products Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. With revenues expected to grow by 92% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Atlas Engineered Products. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation. Are you a shareholder? Since AEP is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as capital structure to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on AEP for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn't fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it's not too late to buy AEP. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved.

Atlas Engineered Products Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results, Including YoY Revenue Increase of 21%
, May 27, 2025 /CNW/ - Atlas Engineered Products ("AEP" or the "Company") (TSXV: AEP) (OTC Markets: APEUF) is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars. Financial and Operating Highlights Revenue of $11M, representing an increase of 21% year-over-year Wall Panel revenue increased by 42% year-over-year Engineered Wood Products revenue increased by 30% year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA of $586,666, representing an increase of 137% year-over-year Hadi Abassi, President and CEO of AEP, commented: "I continue to be proud and impressed with the effort and results that the team at AEP have accomplished. Despite the housing start statistics and convoluted political and economic climates, the Company delivered a 21% increase in revenue over last year and worked diligently to drive organic growth in wall panels and engineered wood products, in addition to increasing production on roof trusses. I am encouraged by the start of 2025 to continue our organic growth initiatives across Canada and strategic acquisitions that will further strengthen our geographical footprint." Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $11,010,715 compared to revenue of $9,121,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenue has increased due to significant progress on the integration of LCF. LCF increased revenues by 56% compared to the prior year through organic growth by expanding into the wood frame commercial building market. Additionally, the Company has seen a 30% increase in engineered wood product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company has been able to expand its supply of engineered wood products to the multi-family building sector due to the expansion of our salesforce, skill of our design team, and buying power with our national supplier. Gross margin remained consistent at 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company generally sees lower margins during the first fiscal quarter when the seasonality of the construction industry is the worst. The Company needs to maintain key skilled labour even though revenues are typically lower than during the rest of the year. Additionally, the quieter first quarter is the best time to perform maintenance and repairs on all vehicles and manufacturing equipment to ensure the best efficiency and reduce downtime during the busier construction season in summer and fall. Net loss after taxes was $846,331 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net loss after taxes of $993,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net loss after taxes has reduced compared to the prior period due to the increase in revenues. The change was offset a bit by non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and share-based payments which resulted in an increase in operating expenses. These amounts are added back for adjusted and normalized EBITDA. Non-IFRS measure adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $586,666 with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 5%. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $247,738 with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3%. These increases were mainly due to increased sales. While net loss for the period did not increase at the same rate, this was due to non-cash items of depreciation and amortization and share-based payments, which are added back for adjusted EBITDA. Selected Financial Results Outlook for 2025 The Company is continuing to see strong quoting volumes in comparison to 2024, previously reporting a 25% increase in quoting volume year over year. With an additional month completed, the Company sees this trend continuing as the first four months of 2025 resulted in a 29% increase in quoting volume compared to the first four months of 2024. Orders have remained stagnant with small increases for the first four months. However, since the federal election in Canada has concluded, the Company has seen significantly more orders being placed and looks forward to this trend continuing with further political and economic stability, along with strong government support of the construction industry. AEP continues to work at delivering organic growth through increased wall panel manufacturing and supply of engineered wood products. This organic growth will continue to help insulate the Company to potential effects of a recession by allowing for increased sales volume potential per order. While industry volumes are largely driven by macroeconomic and political factors beyond the Company's control, AEP will leverage its scale, agility and strong balance sheet to further gain market share. The Company plans to build capacity during the busy construction season by adding automation and completing projects ahead in the winter months. As of March 31, 2025, finished goods and inventories have increased compared to December 31, 2024, due to this strategy. Projects built in the first quarter will be shipped in the second and third quarters when locations are typically at full production capacity and would have difficulties finding enough labour to handle a significant increase. AEP believes that the future of the industry will be in significantly automated manufacturing facilities that can produce higher volumes at a lower cost. The new automation facility in Ontario is continuing with the completion of the steel framing and commencement of cladding for the facility. The building is still anticipated to be completed later in 2025. In addition to the Company's organic growth strategies, the Company is evaluating acquisition opportunities across North America. In September, the Company announced due diligence completion for a future acquisition in Western Canada which was anticipated to close in early Spring of 2025. This closing is still anticipated for Spring of 2025. Conference Call AEP will host a conference call to discuss the results today, May 27, 2025 at 11:00am EST (8:00am PST). The call will be hosted by Hadi Abassi, CEO & President, Founder, and Melissa MacRae, CFO. Details to join this conference call are below.
