Gateway milestone and record throughput trajectory
Safely loaded the 1 billionth barrel at Gateway; management expects to push close to 1.0 million barrels per day throughput in the back half of Q2. Recent monthly trajectory: ~800,000 bpd average in Jan–Feb, a March dip to ~600,000 bpd (freight-rate driven), and a quick recovery through April toward the 1.0 million bpd level.
Chauvin acquisition expands Canadian footprint
Closed the $400 million Chauvin acquisition, adding a crude oil pipeline and related infrastructure into the Hardisty / Mannville Stack area with long-term agreements. Started the Hardisty Connection Project and engineering on a pipeline expansion to raise effective capacity from 30,000 to 45,000 bpd (a +50% increase); benefits expected beginning in Q2 and further sanctioning planned later this year.
Infrastructure performance and growth outlook
Infrastructure segment delivered approximately $156 million of adjusted EBITDA (a slight year-over-year increase). Company reiterated long-term infrastructure EBITDA-per-share growth target of over 7% through 2030 and 2026 infrastructure EBITDA-per-share growth guidance of ~5%. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA improved to ~3.8x (from 3.9x at year-end), and infrastructure-only leverage is ~3.9x (below the target <4x). S&P and DBRS reaffirmed stable investment-grade credit ratings after the acquisition.
Cost-savings and organizational optimization
Completed an organizational restructuring reducing headcount by 10%, expected to deliver approximately $10 million of gross annual cost savings in 2027. Consolidated corporate/operational accounting teams to reduce overhead and increased U.S. commercial and marketing presence (new senior hire in Houston) to support growth at Gateway.
Progress on technology and efficiency initiatives
Investing in automation and AI (including a new system to automate thousands of monthly marketing transactions and migration of IT platforms to cloud) intended to drive future efficiency gains and reduce operating costs over time; higher G&A reflects upfront investments.
Marketing year-over-year improvement (small base)
Marketing generated about $3 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q1, an increase of $2.5 million versus Q1 2025 (implying a large percentage increase off a small base). Management maintains guidance that Marketing quarterly results will remain volatile but within previously communicated ranges (roughly $0–$10 million per quarter).
