Black Diamond Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results and Declares Dividend
CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Diamond Group Limited ("Black Diamond", the "Company" or "we"), (TSX:BDI, OTCQX:BDIMF), a leading provider of space rental and workforce accommodation solutions, today announced its operating and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (the "Quarter") compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (the "Comparative Quarter"). All financial figures are expressed in Canadian dollars.
Key Highlights from the Quarter
- Consolidated rental revenue of $38.6 million increased 9% from the Comparative Quarter. The Company's consolidated contracted future rental revenue at the end of the Quarter was $152.6 million, up $13.0 million or 9% from the end of the Comparative Quarter.
- Profit for the Quarter of $9.2 million increased 23% from the Comparative Quarter. Basic earnings per share of $0.15 increased 25% from the Comparative Quarter.
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $29.2 million was up 5% from the Comparative Quarter.
- Consolidated utilization for the Quarter was 76.7%, with Modular Space Solutions ("MSS") at 81.2% and Workforce Solutions ("WFS") at 63.4%, compared to 75.5%, 80.7% and 62.4%, respectively, in the Comparative Quarter.
- MSS generated record quarterly rental revenue of $26.4 million, an increase of 19% from $22.2 million in the Comparative Quarter, due to growth in average monthly rental rates and number of units on rent. Average monthly rental rate per unit of $881 increased 8% from the Comparative Quarter.
- WFS revenue of $46.7 million increased 6% from the Comparative Quarter. The increase was driven by higher lodge services and non-rental revenue that increased 32% and 11%, respectively.
- LodgeLink generated a strong second quarter with total room nights sold of 135,815, an increase of 5% from the Comparative Quarter, driving Gross Bookings1 to $25.7 million, an increase of 5% from $24.4 million in the Comparative Quarter. Net revenue of $3.3 million increased 14% from the Comparative Quarter with Net Revenue Margin1 of 12.8%.
- Capital expenditures were $32.5 million for the Quarter, down from $53.5 million in the Comparative Quarter, which included $20.5 million for the acquisition of a fleet of 329 space rental units in British Columbia. The majority of growth capital was allocated to contracted project specific fleet units.
- Net Debt1 of $232.0 million as at June 30, 2025 was up 4% from December 31, 2024. Net Debt to trailing twelve months ("TTM") Adjusted Leverage EBITDA1 of 1.9x is below the target of 2.0x to 3.0x, while available liquidity was $192.9 million at the end of the Quarter.
- Subsequent to the Quarter, on July 16, 2025, the Company completed a bought deal public offering of common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $42.4 million, including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to underwriters of $5.5 million.
- Subsequent to the Quarter, the Company declared a third quarter dividend of $0.035 payable on or about October 15, 2025 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2025.
Outlook
The Company’s outlook for the balance of the year remains stable, with increasing opportunities anticipated as we look into 2026 and beyond. Performance of the core rental business is strong with consolidated future contracted rental revenue of $152.6 million at the end of the Quarter, up 9% from the Comparative Quarter. Further, capital commitments of $27.5 million at the end of the Quarter signify the breadth of opportunities across the platform to continue investing shareholder capital and compounding growth.
Carrying momentum from the first quarter, MSS generated record rental revenue of $26.4 million, up 19% from the Comparative Quarter driven primarily by higher average monthly rental rates and increased assets on rent as a result of ongoing organic fleet investments. Continued normal course contract renewals are expected throughout the remainder of the year, resulting in moderate average monthly rental rate growth. Utilization of MSS remains steady as does the demand across key operating geographies and industry verticals, namely education and construction. Sales revenue increased 13% from the Comparative Quarter to $14.9 million. Although this revenue stream has a degree of variability, it generally correlates with economic activity in the countries in which the Company operates.
Performance of the WFS segment is primarily driven by the core rental business, which is a representation of both rental revenue and lodge services revenue. Combined, these revenue streams grew to $24.2 million, up by 9% from the Comparative Quarter with a robust increase of 32% in lodge services revenue offset by a modest decrease of 7% in rental revenue. Sales revenue of $7.0 million was down 10% from the Comparative Quarter and is indicative of the intentional pivot from right-sizing the fleet over the past several years to maintaining units in favor of expected rental opportunities on the horizon. This approach and trend is likely to continue through the balance of 2025. Consolidated WFS revenue increased by 6% to $46.7 million, showcasing a stabilization that is expected to continue through the second half of the year. Management then anticipates more meaningful growth in the mid-to-long-term correlating with major infrastructure opportunities in Canada from expedited nation building projects. This would be a catalyst for improved utilization and increased rental rates thereby leading to the prospective characteristics required for new capital investment in Canadian large format fleet assets.
LodgeLink produced a strong quarter with total room nights sold of 135,815, rising 5% from the Comparative Quarter. Gross Bookings1 also increased 5% to $25.7 million driving net revenue up 14% to $3.3 million with a 90 basis point improvement in Net Revenue Margin1 of 12.8%. The platform is already beginning to realize the positive effects of the ongoing technology transition and accelerated investment in product development that has further differentiated its value proposition within the large total addressable global workforce travel market. As the platform scales, with an expanding service offering, and the supplier and customer ecosystems compound, revenue growth is expected to accelerate from current levels. Subsequent to the Quarter, the Company closed a tuck-in acquisition of Spencer Group of Companies, a corporate travel management business headquartered in Australia, offering an opportunity for accelerated growth in the market.
Black Diamond is well positioned to fund continued organic and inorganic growth opportunities with available liquidity of $192.9 million, and Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA1 of 1.9x at the end of the Quarter, which is slightly below the Company's targeted range of 2.0x to 3.0x. Further, the recent successful completion of the bought deal public offering of common shares subsequent to the Quarter increases the previously stated liquidity by $42.4 million, providing ample flexibility for the Company to take advantage of organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
Management reaffirms that the Company’s diversified rental platform can continue to compound shareholder returns despite potential macro-economic uncertainty from ever-changing trade and tariff policies. As Black Diamond operates locally within its geographic regions, and does not typically move assets across borders, management does not expect any first-order tariff and trade-war related measures to have a material effect on the Company. While there have been no material effects to date, the Company continues to monitor the effects of tariffs on the macro-economic environment as it relates to its customer base.
Overall, the Company remains focused on driving profitable growth through its stable, recurring, high-margin rental revenue streams across all three operating countries. The second half of 2025 is expected to be steady, underpinned by anticipated strong secular tailwinds, and supported by healthy future contracted rental revenue, a growing fleet of long-lived assets and the continued scaling of LodgeLink. On a forward-looking basis, management is optimistic about the sizable growth opportunities expected over the coming years.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this news release, the following specified financial measures and ratios have been disclosed: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA as a % of Revenue, Return on Assets, Net Debt, Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA, Funds from Operations, Free Cashflow, Gross Profit Margin, Gross Bookings and Net Revenue Margin. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Readers are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives to measures under IFRS and should not, on their own, be construed as an indicator of Black Diamond's performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return on the shares of Black Diamond. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Black Diamond.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under IFRS and does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA refers to consolidated earnings before finance costs, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, accretion, foreign exchange, share-based compensation, non-controlling interests, write-down of property and equipment, impairment, gain on disposal of assets and non-recurring costs.
Black Diamond uses Adjusted EBITDA primarily as a measure of operating performance. Management believes that operating performance, as determined by Adjusted EBITDA, is meaningful because it presents the performance of the Company's operations on a basis which excludes the impact of certain non-cash items as well as how the operations have been financed. In addition, management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believes this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and readers should not consider this item in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under IFRS. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA are:
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain income tax payments and recoveries that may represent a reduction or increase in cash available to the Company;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on the Company's debt;
- Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, thus the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- Other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the Company's business. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the Company's IFRS results and using Adjusted EBITDA only on a supplementary basis. A reconciliation to profit, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided below.
Adjusted EBIT is Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization. Black Diamond uses Adjusted EBIT primarily as a measure of operating performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBIT is a useful measure for investors when analyzing ongoing operating trends. There can be no assurances that additional special items will not occur in future periods, nor that the Company's definition of Adjusted EBIT is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both profit determined on a GAAP basis as well as Adjusted EBIT. A reconciliation to profit, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA as a % of Revenue is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue for the period. Black Diamond uses Adjusted EBITDA as a % of Revenue primarily as a measure of operating performance. Management believes this ratio is an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believes this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures.
Return on Assets is calculated as annualized Adjusted EBITDA divided by average net book value of property and equipment. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDA for the Quarter and Comparative Quarter by an annualized multiplier. Management believes that Return on Assets is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating operating performance for the periods presented. When read in conjunction with the Company's profit and property and equipment, two GAAP financial measures, this non-GAAP ratio provides investors with a useful tool to evaluate Black Diamond's ongoing operations and management of assets from period-to-period.

Reconciliation of Consolidated Profit to Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA:
Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA is a non-GAAP ratio which is calculated as Net Debt divided by TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA. Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation to long-term debt, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided below. Net Debt and Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA removes cash and cash equivalents from the Company's debt balance. Black Diamond uses this ratio primarily as a measure of operating performance. Management believes this ratio is an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believes this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures. Management believes including the additional information in this calculation helps provide information on the impact of trailing operations from business combinations on the Company's leverage position.

Funds from Operations is calculated as the cash flow from operating activities, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, excluding the changes in non-cash working capital. Management believes that Funds from Operations is a useful measure as it provides an indication of the funds generated by the operations before working capital adjustments. Changes in long-term accounts receivable and non-cash working capital items have been excluded as such changes are financed using the operating line of Black Diamond's credit facilities. A reconciliation to cash flow from operating activities, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided below.
Free Cashflow is calculated as Funds from Operations minus maintenance capital, net interest paid (including lease interest), payment of lease liabilities, net current income tax expense (recovery), distributions declared to non-controlling interests and dividends paid on common shares plus net current income taxes received (paid). Management believes that Free Cashflow is a useful measure as it provides an indication of the funds generated by the operations before working capital adjustments and other items noted above. Management believes this metric is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures.
