Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2026) - Dexterra Group Inc. (TSX: DXT)
Highlights
Dexterra delivered strong results for 2025 with revenue of $1.04 billion, an increase of 3.8% compared to $1.0 billion in 2024, driven by strong Support Services revenue growth from new sales, strong market activity levels, and the acquisition of Right Choice Camps and Catering Ltd. ("Right Choice"), partially offset by lower ABS revenue. For Q4 2025, Dexterra generated consolidated revenue of $271.0 million, an increase of 9.4%, compared to Q4 2024, primarily driven by Support Services revenue growth, including strong camp occupancy levels and contribution from Right Choice.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $122.8 million, an increase of 14.3% compared to 2024 as a result of strong workforce accommodation occupancy and contributions of $2.8 million and $7.2 million from the investments in Pleasant Valley Corporation ("PVC") and Right Choice, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 was $32.6 million, an increase of 22% compared to Q4 2024 driven primarily by the factors mentioned above and contributions from PVC and Right Choice.
Free Cash Flow ("FCF") was $60.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $74.7 million in 2024, representing Adjusted EBITDA conversion to FCF of 49% compared to 70% in the prior year. FCF in 2025 was impacted by the delayed receipt of a customer receivable funded by the Canadian federal government of which $11.2 million was collected subsequent to year end.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, net earnings were $7.4 million and $40.8 million, respectively, compared to $6.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively in 2024. Earnings per share was $0.65 in 2025 compared to $0.31 in 2024. 2024 results included a loss from discontinued operations of $17.4 million. Our operations delivered a return on equity in 2025 of 15%.
Dexterra made two strategic investments in 2025 including a 40% stake in privately owned, US-based, facilities management provider PVC for $84.0 million on July 31, 2025, including an option to acquire the remaining 60% as early as Q3 2027, and, on August 31, 2025, Dexterra closed the acquisition of Right Choice, a workforce accommodation provider with operations in the strategic Montney / Duvernay gas region in Western Canada, for $69.0 million.
In connection with the ongoing Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"), Dexterra purchased and cancelled 1,483,900 common shares in 2025 at a weighted average price of $7.88 per share for total consideration of $11.7 million.
In Q3 2025, the Board of Directors approved a 14% increase in the annual dividend to $0.40 per share. Dexterra declared $0.375 per share in dividends for 2025 and declared a Q1 2026 dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as at March 31, 2026.

Support Services
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $868.3 million, an increase of 7.0% compared to 2024. The increase was primarily driven by strong camp occupancy, new sales, a full year impact for CMI and the acquisition of Right Choice in 2025 which contributed $19.5 million of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $87.7 million, an increase of 18.3% compared to 2024, attributable to the factors mentioned above. Adjusted EBITDA from PVC and Right Choice was $2.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 10.1% compared to 9.1% in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding the equity accounted investment in PVC was 9.8%. Adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to exceed 9% over the long term.
For Q4 2025, Support Services revenues were $230.6 million, an increase of 11.7% over Q4 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $23.9 million in Q4 2025 compared to $18.2 million for Q4 2024 and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 10.4% in Q4 2025 compared to 8.8% in Q4 2024. Adjusted EBITDA from PVC and Right Choice for Q4 2025 was $1.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Drivers of the increases in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are consistent with the factors mentioned above. For Q4 2025, Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding PVC was 9.6%.
Asset Based Services
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $172.9 million, a decrease of 9.9% compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower workforce accommodation installation and access matting revenue, compared to the prior year, which was partially offset by the contribution from Right Choice of $7.9 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $61.2 million, an increase of 8.9% compared to 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by: (a) the change in business mix from increased workforce accommodation equipment utilization which generates higher margins compared to lower camp installation project activity; and (b) the acquisition of Right Choice which contributed $2.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 35.4% compared to 29.3% in 2024 as explained above.
For Q4 2025, ABS revenues were $40.4 million, a decrease of 2.2%, primarily the result of lower project revenue from camp installation, access matting rentals and sales, which was partially offset by the contribution from Right Choice of $6.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 was $15.1 million, an increase of 8.6% compared to Q4 2024 and the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37.4% in Q4 2025 compared to 33.7% in Q4 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q4 2025 is related to the change in business mix discussed above and the contribution from Right Choice of $2.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA margins for this segment in the future are expected to remain between 30% to 40% depending on the mix of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Debt was $199.7 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $205.7 million at Q3 2025, and increased from $67.9 million at the end of Q4 2024. The increase in Net Debt compared to Q4 2024 was largely a result of the investment in PVC and acquisition of Right Choice which added approximately $150 million to debt. Adjusted EBITDA conversion to FCF was 49% in 2025 compared to 70% in 2024. The Net Debt at December 31, 2025 was 1.6x Adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining a strong balance sheet. We expect to continue to maximize FCF conversion targeting greater than 50% of Adjusted EBITDA on an annual basis with Net Debt expected to further reduce in fiscal 2026, absent acquisitions.
