The earnings call highlighted logistical and financial strengths, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, but was overshadowed by significant production challenges, increased cash costs, and impacts from external factors like the Hydro-Quebec shutdown and rail maintenance.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2026

During Champion's Q1 FY2026 conference call, key metrics highlighted include the rail and haul volume of approximately 3.8 million dry tonnes, which equates to nearly 4 million tonnes wet, and a reported EPS of $0.05 per share. Production was around 3.5 million tonnes, impacted by ore hardness and a Hydro-Quebec shutdown, costing about 300,000 tonnes in lost production. Despite these challenges, the company moved 440,000 tonnes from its stockpile, reducing it to roughly 2.1 million tonnes. Financially, the company reported $390 million in revenues, EBITDA just under $60 million, and a cash cost of CAD 82 per tonne, influenced by inventory and ore hardness issues. The company improved its liquidity with a successful high-yield bond issue, raising USD 500 million, and increasing cash from $117 million to over $176 million. Looking ahead, Champion aims to reduce harder ore usage and finalize its flotation plant by the end of the calendar year within the $470 million budget.
