2025-11-11 05:16:09

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Finning International Inc. (TSX: FTT) (“Finning”, the“Company”,“we”,“our” or“us”) reported third quarter 2025 results today. All monetary amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and all financial information in this earnings release represents the results from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.⁽¹⁾

HIGHLIGHTS
All comparisons are to Q3 2024 results unless indicated otherwise.

Q3 2025 revenue of $2.8 billion was up 14%, with growth in all regions.
Product support revenues increased 9% driven by strong mining sector activity.
New equipment sales increased 12% to over $1.0 billion, on strong power systems deliveries, while equipment backlog ⁽³⁾ was $2.9 billion at September 30, 2025 which included strong order intake in Canada.
Q3 2025 SG&A ⁽²⁾ margin ⁽³⁾ was 13.4%, a decrease of 290 basis points, reflecting higher revenues, strong cost control and savings from previously announced restructuring initiatives.
Q3 2025 EBIT ⁽²⁾ was $240 million, an increase of 25% from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT ⁽⁴⁾⁽⁵⁾. EBIT margin ⁽³⁾ was 8.5%, up 70 basis points from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin ⁽³⁾⁽⁵⁾. EBIT margin was 9.7% in South America, 8.7% in Canada, and 6.5% in the UK & Ireland.
Q3 2025 EPS ⁽²⁾ from continuing operations of $1.17 was up 33% from Q3 2024 Adjusted EPS ⁽³⁾⁽⁵⁾ of $0.88.
Q3 2025 Adjusted ROIC ⁽²⁾ from continuing operations ⁽³⁾⁽⁵⁾ was 19.3%. Q3 2025 free cash flow from continuing operations ⁽⁴⁾ was a use of $56 million, driven primarily by higher inventory to support increased activity levels.

“Our strategy continues to produce excellent results, and we are proud of our employees' commitment to consistent execution. These results reflect the strength and advantage of our diverse business – while the construction market continues to face challenges, demand in the mining and power systems sectors remains strong,” said Kevin Parkes, President and CEO.

“Product support continued its steady growth to over $1.5 billion this quarter and new equipment revenue reached a quarterly record of over $1.0 billion. Invested capital turns from continuing operations ⁽³⁾ of 2.3 times was in line with last quarter, and SG&A costs declined reflecting the savings generated from previous restructuring actions, activities to simplify our business, and relentless focus on cost control. All these factors are contributing to a fundamentally improved earnings capacity and a more resilient business for the long-term.”

“We will continue to maximize product support, drive full-cycle resilience and grow our used, rental and power businesses to improve our return on invested capital,” said Mr. Parkes.

^(a) Following a detailed review of our remanufacturing business in Canada, we determined that the correct classification of certain costs in SG&A should be cost of sales. Effective Q3 2024, the comparative figures for 2023 and Q1 2024 and Q2 2024 include an immaterial adjustment for a change in classification of certain expenses.

^(b) Comparative results for 2023 have been restated for our adoption of the amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2024.

Q3 2025 HIGHLIGHTS BY OPERATION
All comparisons are to Q3 2024 results unless indicated otherwise. All numbers, except ROIC from continuing operations, are in functional currency: Canada – Canadian dollar; South America – US dollar (USD); UK & Ireland – UK pound sterling (GBP). These variances and ratios for South America and UK & Ireland exclude the foreign currency translation impact from the CAD relative to the USD and GBP, respectively, and are therefore considered to be specified financial measures. We believe the variances and ratios in functional currency provide meaningful information about operational performance of the reporting segment.

South America Operations

Revenue increased 17%, higher across all lines of business except rental.
New equipment revenue was up 23%, driven by mining deliveries and included multiple data centre project deliveries in Chile. Used equipment was up 267% reflecting the sale of a large package of mining equipment in Chile.
Product support revenue was up 5%, driven by strong demand from mining customers in Chile.
EBIT was up 5% from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT. EBIT margin of 9.7% was down 120 basis points from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin, reflecting lower product support margins and a higher proportion of lower margin used mining equipment sales.

Canada Operations

Revenue increased 13%, higher across all lines of business.
New equipment sales were up slightly and used equipment was up 105%, primarily reflecting the conversion of a large package of mining equipment with rental purchase options.
Product support revenue was up 13%, primarily reflecting strong demand from mining customers.
EBIT increased 40% from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT. EBIT margin of 8.7% was up 180 basis points from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin, driven primarily by lower SG&A margin.

UK & Ireland Operations

Revenue increased 4%, primarily driven by an 11% increase in new equipment reflecting higher sales in construction.
Product support revenue decreased 3% due to lower machine utilization in construction, partially offset by steady power systems activity in the electric power and marine markets.
EBIT was up 9% from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT. EBIT margin of 6.5% was up 20 basis points from Q3 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin, driven primarily by higher new equipment margins and strong cost control.

Corporate and Other Items

EBIT loss for Corporate was $10 million, an improvement from a $15 million Adjusted EBIT loss in Q3 2024, driven by prior restructuring activities of headcount reduction and consolidation of corporate functions.
The Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $0.3025 per share, payable on December 11, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 27, 2025. This dividend will be considered an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes.
In Q3 2025, we repurchased 1.2 million shares at an average cost of $59.45 per share, representing approximately 0.9% of our public float.

MARKET UPDATE AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The discussion of our expectations relating to the market and business outlook in this section is forward-looking information that is based upon the assumptions and subject to the material risks discussed under the heading“Forward-Looking Information Caution” at the end of this news release. Actual outcomes and results may vary significantly.

Global Trade

Ongoing tariff related announcements by the US, Canada and other countries globally has introduced a higher level of uncertainty, cost and complexity to operating for many businesses. To date, the direct impact of announced and implemented tariffs to Finning has been limited and largely centered on our Canadian operations. The indirect impact through reduced economic activity, changes to inflation as well as deferred, delayed or cancelled investment decisions across our customer base remains unknown and difficult to predict. We have not seen major shifts in customer purchasing decisions, major supply chain changes or changes in the competitive dynamics in the markets we serve as a result of the global tariff landscape, however we remain cautious given the evolution of announcements over the past year.

South America Operations

In Chile, our outlook is underpinned by growing global demand for copper, strong copper prices, capital deployment into large-scale brownfield expansions, and customer confidence to invest in brownfield and greenfield projects. We are seeing a broad-based level of quoting, tender, and award activity for mining equipment, product support, and technology solutions. While activity levels and outlook remain positive, we continue to expect some challenges in the labour market as the demand for skilled labour remains high.

In the Chilean construction sector, we continue to see demand from large contractors supporting mining operations, and we expect infrastructure construction activity to remain steady. In the power systems sector, activity remains strong in the industrial and data centre markets, driving growing demand for electric power solutions.

In Argentina, we continue to take a low-risk approach, while at the same time, we are positioning our business to capture opportunities, particularly in the oil & gas and mining sectors. The operating environment remains dynamic, and we continue to closely monitor the government's new rules and policies, some of which are helping drive large-scale investment. The recent midterm election results and reduction of currency controls adds an element of optimism for improving activity levels.

Canada Operations

Our outlook for Western Canada remains mixed but is improving. We are encouraged by announcements regarding the potential to accelerate resource development and infrastructure project activity, but we remain cautious with respect to the timing and magnitude of such potential activity.

We expect steady activity levels in our mining business as customers renew, maintain and rebuild aging equipment. In the power systems sector, activity remains steady in the oil and gas market, with longer term potential in the data centre market. Construction sector activity, including resource development and infrastructure project activity, is moderate.

With a more uncertain market environment in the near term, we are focused on building our resilience by managing our cost and working capital. We are leveraging the structural changes and overhead reductions strategy demonstrated in our UK operations to continue driving productivity improvements.

UK & Ireland Operations

With low GDP⁽¹⁾ growth projected in the UK to continue, we expect demand in the construction sector to remain soft. We expect a growing contribution from power systems as we continue to execute our strategy. In power systems, quoting activity remains strong, driven by healthy demand for primary and backup power generation, particularly in the data centre market. We expect our product support business in the UK & Ireland to remain stable.

Labour Relations and Capital Expenditures Update

We are pleased to announce the conclusion of negotiations with several of our largest unions in each of our regions. These successful negotiations derisk our near-term operations and allow us to continue to focus on growing product support revenues. We expect to see the impact of these negotiations reflected in our capital expenditures in Q4 2025. We also continue to hire technicians across our regions to meet increased customer demand.

We will continue to invest strategically in our core dealership to support future sustainable growth opportunities, including rental, used and power.

Description of Specified Financial Measures and Reconciliations

Specified Financial Measures

We believe that certain specified financial measures, including non-GAAP⁽¹⁾ financial measures, provide users of our Earnings Release with important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of our business. The specified financial measures we use do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, specified financial measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP (GAAP financial measures). By considering these specified financial measures in combination with the comparable GAAP financial measures (where available) we believe that users are provided a better overall understanding of our business and financial performance during the relevant period than if they simply considered the GAAP financial measures alone.

We use KPIs to consistently measure performance against our priorities across the organization. Some of our KPIs are specified financial measures.

There may be significant items that we do not consider indicative of our operational and financial trends, either by nature or amount. We exclude these items when evaluating our operating financial performance. These items may not be non-recurring, but we believe that excluding these significant items from GAAP financial measures provides a better understanding of our financial performance when considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. Financial measures that have been adjusted to take these significant items into account are referred to as“Adjusted” measures. Adjusted measures are specified financial measures and are intended to provide additional information to readers of the Earnings Release.

Descriptions and components of the specified financial measures we use in this Earnings Release are set out below. Where applicable, quantitative reconciliations from certain specified financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (specified, defined, or determined under GAAP and used in our consolidated financial statements) are also set out below.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS excludes the after-tax per share impact of significant items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance. The tax impact of each significant item is calculated by applying the relevant applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the significant item occurred. The after-tax per share impact of significant items is calculated by dividing the after-tax amount of significant items by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

A reconciliation between EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) and Adjusted EPS can be found on page 10 of this Earnings Release .

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends, either by nature or amount, to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization to Adjusted EBIT.

The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT is EBIT.

Significant items identified by management that affected our results from continuing operations were as follows:

In Q2 2025, we recorded severance costs for headcount reductions related to consolidation efforts and changes to our organizational structure focused on non-revenue generating positions, primarily in selected back office and technology roles.
In Q3 2024, we recorded severance costs related to the headcount reductions and consolidation efforts focused on non-revenue generating positions, including selected technology and supply chain roles as well as some financial support functions as we simplify our business activities in each of our operations.
In Q3 2024, our Canadian operations recorded an estimated loss for receivables from Victoria Gold, a mining customer that was placed into receivership following a landslide at its mine.
On December 13, 2023, the then newly-elected Argentine government devalued the ARS⁽¹⁾ official exchange rate by 118% from 366.5 ARS to 800 ARS for USD 1. As a result of prolonged government currency restrictions, including no material access to USD starting in late August 2023, our ARS exposure increased and during this period economic hedges were not available. As a result of the growth in our ARS exposure and the significant devaluation of the ARS in the fourth quarter, our South American operations incurred a foreign exchange loss of $56 million which exceeds the typical foreign exchange impact in the region.
We began to implement our invested capital improvement plan as outlined at our 2023 Investor Day, which targets selling and optimizing real estate and exiting low-ROIC activities. In Q4 2023:
- our South American operations sold a property in Chile and recorded a gain of $13 million on the sale; and
- following an evaluation of the business needs of our operations and related intangible assets, several software and technology assets had been or were planned to be decommissioned, and as a result, we derecognized previously capitalized costs of $12 million.
In Q1 2023, we executed various transactions to simplify and adjust our organizational structure. We wound up two wholly-owned subsidiaries, recapitalized and repatriated $170 million of profits from our South American operations, and incurred severance costs in each region as we reduced corporate overhead costs and simplified our operating model. As a result of these activities, our Q1 2023 financial results were impacted by significant items that we do not consider indicative of operational and financial trends:
- net foreign currency translation gain and income tax expense were reclassified to net income on the wind up of foreign subsidiaries;
- withholding tax payable related to the repatriation of profits; and
- severance costs incurred in all our operations.

Equipment Backlog

Equipment backlog is defined as the retail value of new equipment units ordered by customers for future deliveries. We use equipment backlog as a measure of projecting future new equipment deliveries. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure for equipment backlog.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by or used in operating activities less net additions to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, as disclosed in our financial statements. Free cash flow from continuing operations excludes free cash flow from discontinued operations. We use free cash flow from continuing operations to assess cash operating performance, including working capital efficiency. Consistent positive free cash flow generation enables us to re-invest capital to grow our business, repay debt, and return capital to shareholders. A reconciliation from cash flow used in or provided by operating activities to free cash flow from continuing operations is as follows:

Inventory Turns from Continuing Operations

Inventory turns is the number of times our inventory is sold and replaced over a period. We use inventory turns from continuing operations to measure asset utilization. Inventory turns from continuing operations is calculated as annualized cost of sales for the last six months divided by average inventory excluding inventory from discontinued operations, based on an average of the last two quarters. Inventory from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

Invested Capital from Continuing Operations

Invested capital is defined as net debt plus total equity. Invested capital is also calculated as total assets less total liabilities, excluding net debt. Net debt is calculated as short-term and long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use invested capital from continuing operations as a measure of the total cash investment made in Finning and each reportable segment. Invested capital from continuing operations is used in a number of different measurements (ROIC from continuing operations, Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations, invested capital turnover from continuing operations) to assess financial performance against other companies and between reportable segments. Invested capital from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

Invested Capital Turnover from Continuing Operations

We use invested capital turnover from continuing operations to measure capital efficiency. Invested capital turnover from continuing operations is calculated as revenue from continuing operations for the last twelve months divided by average invested capital from continuing operations of the last four quarters.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio from Continuing Operations

We use this ratio to assess operating leverage and ability to repay debt. This ratio approximates the length of time, in years, that it would take us to repay debt, with net debt and Adjusted EBITDA held constant. This ratio is calculated as net debt from continuing operations at the reporting date divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net debt from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

Gross Profit Margin, SG&A Margin, and EBIT Margin

We use these specified financial measures to assess and evaluate the financial performance or profitability of our reportable segments. We may also calculate EBIT margin using Adjusted EBIT to exclude significant items we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance.

The ratios are calculated, respectively, as gross profit divided by revenue, SG&A divided by revenue, and EBIT divided by revenue.

Adjusted ROIC from Continuing Operations

ROIC is defined as EBIT for the last twelve months divided by average invested capital of the last four quarters, expressed as a percentage. We also calculate Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations using Adjusted EBIT to exclude significant items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance and invested capital from continuing operations. We use Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations as a useful measure for capital allocation decisions that drive profitable growth and attractive returns to shareholders.

Working Capital from Continuing Operations & Working Capital to Sales Ratio from Continuing Operations

Working capital is defined as total current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) less total current liabilities (excluding short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt). We use working capital from continuing operations as a measure for assessing overall liquidity. The working capital to sales ratio from continuing operations is calculated as average working capital from continuing operations of the last four quarters, divided by revenue for the last twelve months. We use this KPI to assess the efficiency in our use of working capital to generate sales. Working capital from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

Forward-looking information provided in this news release is based on a number of assumptions that we believed were reasonable on the day the information was given, including but not limited to: the specific assumptions and expectations stated above; that we will be able to successfully manage our business through volatile commodity prices, high inflation, changing tariffs and interest rates, and supply chain challenges, and successfully execute our strategies to win customers, achieve full-cycle resilience and continue business momentum; that we will be able to continue to source and hire technicians, build capabilities and capacity and successfully and sustainably improve workshop efficiencies; that commodity prices will remain at constructive levels; that our customers will not curtail their activities; that general economic and market conditions will continue to be supportive; that the level of customer confidence and spending, and the demand for, and prices of, our products and services will be maintained; that support and demand for renewable energy will continue to grow; that supply chain and inflationary challenges will not materially impact large project deliveries in our equipment backlog; our ability to successfully execute our plans and intentions, including our strategic priorities; our ability to attract and retain skilled staff; market competition will remain at similar levels; the products and technology offered by our competitors will be as expected; identified opportunities for growth will result in revenue; that we have sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs, commitments and obligations; consistent and stable legislation in the various countries in which we operate; no disruptive changes in the technology environment; our current good relationship with Caterpillar, our customers and suppliers, service providers and other third parties will be maintained and that Caterpillar and such other suppliers will deliver quality, competitive products with supply chain continuity; sustainment of oil prices; that maximizing product support growth will positively affect our strategic priorities going forward; quoting activity for requests for proposals for equipment and product support is reflective of opportunities; and, market recoveries in the regions that we operate. Some of the assumptions, risks, and other factors, which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information contained in this news release, are discussed in our current AIF and in our annual and most recent quarterly MD&A for the financial risks. We caution readers that the risks described in the annual and most recent quarterly MD&A and in the AIF are not the only ones that could impact us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that are currently deemed to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation.

Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking information does not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other unusual items or of any dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the date of this news release. The financial impact of these transactions and non-recurring and other unusual items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. We therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same way we present known risks affecting our business.
