Pending Bozzetto Divestiture and Large Expected Proceeds
Definitive agreement to sell Bozzetto with expected net proceeds of CAD 265–271 million (enterprise value reported at CAD 411 million). Transaction expected to close in Q2 and proceeds intended for accretive investments and senior note redemption.
Pro Forma Liquidity Strengthened
Year-end cash of CAD 109.2 million (up from CAD 106M at end of Q3). Pro forma cash after Bozzetto sale and potential full redemption of senior notes estimated at CAD 185 million as of Dec 31, 2025 (subject to closing adjustments).
Bozzetto Adjusted EBITDA Margin Expansion
Bozzetto generated Q4 revenue of CAD 84.2 million (down 1.9% YoY; down 9.8% on a constant currency basis) and adjusted EBITDA of CAD 15.0 million, improving margin to 17.8% from 15.6% a year earlier (prior adjusted EBITDA CAD 13.4M).
Holdco Cost Reduction and Outperformance vs Guidance
Holdco costs for 2025 were CAD 7.7 million, below the CAD 9.0 million forecast and down from CAD 12 million in 2024. Management reaffirmed commitment to reduce holdco costs to or below 1.5% of NAV.
Debt Reduction Plan and Material Interest Savings
Plan to offer redemption of senior notes (par plus accrued interest; outstanding balance CAD 142.6M at Dec 31, 2025). Early redemption would eliminate a 9.75% coupon that consumes CAD 13.9M of cash annually and yield cumulative cash savings to maturity of ~CAD 56M if fully redeemed.
Capital Allocation Actions—Share Buybacks and Hedging
Continued NCIB activity reduced share count by over 10% (Q4 purchases of CAD 3.6M at an average CAD 2.80). Management hedged ~50% of net euro proceeds to CAD to mitigate foreign currency volatility and align with potential note redemption exposure.
