CALGARY, Alberta, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (the “Corporation” or “High Arctic”) released its fourth quarter and annual financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The audited consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”), management discussion & analysis (“MD&A”), and annual information form (“AIF”) for the year ended December 31, 2025 will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and on High Arctic’s website at www.haes.ca.

All amounts are denominated in thousands of Canadian dollars (“CAD”), unless otherwise indicated.

Lonn Bate, Interim Chief Executive Officer commented:

“2025 was a year of meaningful financial and operational progress for both High Arctic and Team Snubbing. At High Arctic, we realized accelerating customer activity in central Alberta, particularly in the second half of the year, driven by increased development in the Duvernay near our Red Deer operations. Our current service offerings and facility locations uniquely position us to provide our customers with the assets they need while allowing us to maintain an exceptional level of customer service.

Team Snubbing, of which High Arctic maintains a 42% equity interest, was active in 2025 on the Alaskan North Slope with another snubbing package recently put to work in Alaska. These developments have validated their strategic entry into the Alaskan market, providing them with increased scale and a solid platform for future profitable growth.

Although we are keenly aware of the near‑term uncertainty that exists in the current environment, High Arctic remains optimistic for 2026. The majority of our key customers have increased their spending plans for the coming year and accordingly our team has been busy executing on current work while at the same time preparing for anticipated work to come. As always, we remain committed to delivering our high standard of customer service with a relentless focus on safety, service quality, and continued cost management across the business.”

In the following discussion, the three months ended December 31, 2025, may be referred to as the “quarter” or “Q4 2025” and the comparative three months ended December 31, 2024, may be referred to as “Q4 2024”.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Summary

Revenue from continuing operations for Q4 2025 of $2,985 was 22% or $542 higher than the prior quarter. The increase in revenue is attributable to improved overall underlying customer demand.
Oilfield services operating margin from continuing operations was $1,112 in the current year quarter compared to $1,046 in the prior year quarter, an increase of $66 or 6%, driven by the increase in revenue as noted above, offset by reduction in operating margin percentage.
EBITDA from continuing operations was $521 in the current year quarter compared to EBITDA of $178 in the prior year quarter. EBITDA from continuing operations benefitted from higher revenue and related operating margin as noted above, combined with improved earnings from the Corporation’s equity accounted investment in Team Snubbing.
Operating loss from continuing operations of $415 in the quarter compared to $553 in Q4 2024. The decrease in operating loss is attributable to higher revenue and oilfield services operating margin, offset in part, by a weaker operating margin percentage and modestly higher general and administrative expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations was $160 in Q4 2025 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $715 in Q4 2024. Net loss from continuing operations was impacted by the same items impacting operating loss as noted above combined with higher income from the equity accounted investment in Team Snubbing and reduced non-cash accretion expenses, all of which more than offset a reduction of foreign exchange gains.

Annual 2025 Summary

Revenue from continuing operations for 2025 of $10,641 compared to revenue of $10,470 realized in 2024. Consistent with the summary of the fourth quarter results, the increase in revenue is attributable to improved overall customer demand, particularly in the second half of 2025.
Oilfield services operating margin from continuing operations was $4,966 in the current year compared to $4,828 in the prior year, an increase of $138 or 3%, driven by improved overall customer demand as noted above.
EBITDA from continuing operations was $2,864 in the current year compared to an EBITDA loss of $527 in the prior year. EBITDA from continuing operations benefitted from higher revenue, improved earnings from the Corporation’s equity accounted investment in Team Snubbing and reduced general and administrative expenses.
Operating loss from continuing operations improved to $689 in the current year compared to $2,965 in 2024. The decrease in operating loss is attributable to the significant reduction in general and administrative expenses combined with the modest improvement in oilfield services operating margin noted above.
Net income from continuing operations of $356 compared to a net loss of $2,117 in FY 2024. In addition to the factors that positively impacted the reduction in operating loss as noted above, net income for FY 2025 was driven by improved earnings from Team Snubbing, gains on the disposal of property and equipment and a positive net change related to the fair value adjustment of the Corporation’s contingent consideration payable, all of which more than offset the net change of reduced foreign exchange gains.
The Corporation’s 42% equity investment share of Team Snubbing’s net earnings was $882 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $690 in the prior year. The significant improvement in Team Snubbing’s earnings in 2025 is due to improved financial performance in the international business in Alaska combined with a modest improvement in the financial results of the Canadian business.
Cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations was $1,060 for the year, an improvement of $1,169 as compared to the prior year use of $109, driven by the improvement in EBITDA from continuing operations noted above combined with the continued focus on working capital management.

Outlook
2025 resulted in numerous positive developments for High Arctic and Team Snubbing that are expected to favourably impact both businesses in 2026. High Arctic realized an acceleration in customer activity levels in central Alberta through 2025, particularly in the second half of 2025, as oil and gas producers continue to ramp their capital spending as they drill, complete and tie-in their Duvernay wells which are conveniently located in close proximity to our primary operations center in Red Deer. For Team Snubbing, securing steady work on the Alaskan North Slope and additional plug and abandonment work in late 2025 validated their decision to enter the Alaskan market, providing Team with a foundation on which they can profitably scale their business in this marketplace. Although High Arctic’s revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and liquidity position are not directly impacted by the results of Team Snubbing due to the Corporation’s minority equity ownership, the continued management of the liquidity/capitalization of Team Snubbing, including its debt leverage levels continue to be a top priority for High Arctic.

High Arctic’s business is driven by its customers’ decisions to drill new oil and natural gas wells combined with the subsequent activity to complete these wells for production, both of which are tied to their expectations for commodity prices. As such, the financial and operational performance of High Arctic’s rental assets and investment in the snubbing industry are highly dependent on the forecast for commodity prices combined with the fundamentals associated with both drilling and well completion trends in the WCSB and in the US state of Alaska.

Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, persistent geopolitical conflicts and OPEC+ production behavior, global energy supply–demand dynamics have remained relatively resilient. Industry fundamentals, recently impacted by the conflict in the Middle East involving Iran, the US and Israel, continue to support oil and natural gas drilling and production activity and provoke cautious optimism for supportive commodity pricing over the medium to longer term.

In the near term our customers are closely monitoring volatility in oil and gas prices in the context of their underlying production economics, which may influence activity levels, capital spending plans, and, by extension, product pricing. Additionally, the current political landscape and the impact of recently imposed tariffs in both the United States and Canada continue to introduce potential near‑term uncertainty, including within the energy sector.

While global economic uncertainty persists, Canada’s energy industry has opportunities for future growth, as evidenced by recent energy infrastructure developments and a new and seemingly more aggressive mandate at the federal level for Canada to become a global energy superpower. The completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline system expansion in 2024, and the commencement, and subsequent output ramp-up of West coast LNG exports in 2025 are positive developments supporting improved long-term fundamentals for High Arctic’s business and the upstream energy services sector.

In summary, the Corporation will build on the positive results achieved in 2025 as it continues to execute on its strategic objectives, with progress to date being evidenced by our leadership, safety performance, balance sheet preservation, general and administrative expense reductions, selective capital expenditure investments supporting organic growth in the rentals business, and oversight of its equity investments.

Operating margin (%)⁽¹⁾	39.8	%	44.6	%	48.9	%	47.8	%

⁽¹⁾See “Non-IFRS Measures”

The rental services segment consists of High Arctic’s oilfield rental equipment in Canada, centred upon pressure control equipment and equipment supporting the high-pressure stimulation of oil and gas wells in the WCSB.

Revenue for Q4 2025 was $445 or 19% higher than the prior year comparative quarter. Revenue for FY 2025 of $10,153 was consistent with the prior year. The increase in revenue for Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024 is primarily the result of the Corporation’s successful completion of a large-scale high-pressure stimulation project completed in Q4 2025 combined with stronger general customer activity throughout the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. FY 2025 revenue was impacted by improved customer activity levels in the second half of 2025 which was partially offset by reduced overall customer demand in the first half of 2025 due to the timing of large-scale customer activity combined with the incremental impact of continued volatility in oil and gas prices. The increase in gross operating expenses in the current year quarter was the result of the increase in revenues for the quarter. Operating expenses for FY 2025 were modestly improved on a percentage basis compared to the prior year with the change driven by strong expense management and the impact of customer sales mix.

Oilfield services operating margin for Q4 2025 of 39.8% was approximately five percent lower (on a gross basis) than the 44.6% realized in Q4 2024. Operating margin in Q4 2025 was negatively impacted by the timing of significant repairs and maintenance activity on certain pressure control equipment in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of higher repairs and maintenance costs, gross operating expenses in the current year quarter were driven by the increase in revenues. Operating margin for FY 2025 of 48.9% was modestly higher than the prior year’s margin of 47.8%. The modest improvement in FY 2025 margin is attributable to an increased percentage of higher margin revenues, reduced direct operating costs as a percentage of revenue and lower utilization of third-party rental equipment, all of which more than offset the increase in repairs and maintenance incurred in Q4 2025 as noted above.

Operating margins in the current year continue to benefit from the ongoing focus on aggressively managing costs in light of the current economic environment. The reduction in third-party rental equipment expenses is due primarily to specific customer requirements and related sales mix.

Investments and Corporate Segment
The investments and corporate segment contains all other assets and activity of the Corporation, namely, High Arctic’s equity investment in Team Snubbing, its equity investment in the Seh’ Chene Well Servicing Partnership (“Seh’ Chene Partnership”), idled snubbing units in Colorado, US, industrial property in Clairmont, Alberta, head office functional support, and monetary investments and borrowings. Select analysis and discussion of these results follows by major heading. Readers are advised to reference Note 24, Segmented Information, in the Corporation’s Financial Statements.

Clairmont Industrial Property
Revenue attributable to the Corporation’s industrial property in Clairmont, Alberta, was $194 for Q4 2025 compared to $97 in the prior year comparative quarter and $488 for FY 2025 compared to $379 in the prior year comparative period. The change in revenue is due largely to the reclassification of the reimbursement of property taxes from the lessee as a component of revenue in Q4 2025; previously, the reimbursement was included as a reduction of the underlying operating expense. Gross lease revenue was positively impacted by inflation escalators that are provided for under the lease agreement.

Team Snubbing Equity Investment
The Corporation accounts for the results of its 42% interest in Team Snubbing using the equity method of accounting. The Corporation’s proportionate share of Team Snubbing’s net income for Q4 2025 was $462 compared to a net loss of $396 for Q4 2024. For FY 2025, the Corporation’s proportionate share of Team Snubbing’s net income was $882 compared to a net loss of $690 for FY 2024. Team Snubbing realized revenues for FY 2025 of $34,763 compared to $26,064 for the prior year comparative. See Note 12 in the Corporation’s Financial Statements for additional details.

Team Snubbing realized improved financial and operational performance for FY 2025 compared to the prior comparative year. The improvements in both revenue and net income for FY 2025 are primarily attributable to improved customer activity in Team Snubbing’s operations in Alaska, US combined with modestly improved activity levels within the Canadian operations. Activity levels in the US operations, particularly in the second half of the year were positively impacted by strong customer activity levels on the Alaskan North Slope. Canadian operations benefitted from improved customer activity as a result of certain work which had previously been deferred earlier in the year recommencing in the second half of FY 2025.

Seh’ Chene Partnership
The Seh’ Chene Partnership has experienced limited business activity since 2022. The partnership is still active and the Corporation, together with its partner, are looking to reposition their customer offerings by actively exploring other avenues to generate business activity in the future. In light of the limited business activity, and in order to provide the partners with access to idled cash holdings, the partnership declared and paid a distribution to the Corporation of $137 in the fourth quarter of 2025. This distribution represented the Corporation’s proportionate share of the majority of the partnership’s excess cash. The Corporation does not anticipate any additional distributions in the near term.

US Snubbing Assets

The Corporation has a fleet of snubbing equipment, which includes both stand-alone and rig-assist units located in Greeley, Colorado, US. The equipment was originally positioned to provide fluid pumping, cleanup, pipe movement, equipment transportation, completion, well repair and well control services to producers in the Rockies region of the US. In light of overall market conditions and the Corporation’s focus on its western Canadian rental assets, these assets were subsequently disposed of in Q1 2026 for proceeds of US$120.
