DIRTT Environmental Solutions Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Key Takeaways

• Positive Sentiment: Revenue rose 3% year‑over‑year to CAD 42.4 million and the company ended the quarter with ~CAD 15 million cash and total liquidity of CAD 25.1 million, remaining in compliance with covenants.
• Negative Sentiment: Gross margin declined to 30.6% (from 35.2%) driven by higher aluminum prices, tariff-related costs (~CAD 2.0 million, ~4.7% of revenue) and lower installation margins, contributing to a wider net loss of CAD 3.3 million and lower adjusted EBITDA of CAD 1.4 million (3.3% of revenue).
• Positive Sentiment: The 12‑month forward pipeline grew to approximately CAD 338 million (+16% YoY) with notable project wins (including a >CAD 8 million Canadian government contract and U.S. enterprise/institutional awards) and a CAD 55 million construction‑services bucket that is converting at attractive rates.
• Negative Sentiment: Tariff and legal uncertainties persist: the company incurred tariff costs this quarter, no tariff refund recoveries have been recorded amid ongoing U.S. tariff developments and IEEPA rulings, and Falkbuilt litigation remains unresolved with no amounts recognized.
• Neutral Sentiment: DIRTT is executing a transformation that incurred ~CAD 2.4 million of reorganization expenses this quarter but reported lower core operating expenses (ex‑stock comp and reorg), and management maintained full‑year guidance while noting Q1 is seasonally the weakest quarter.

Presentation

[Operator]

Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the DIRTT 2026 first quarter financial results conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Chief Transformation Officer, Adrian Zarate. Please go ahead.

[Adrian Zarate, Chief Transformation Officer at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to today's call to discuss DIRTT's first quarter 2026 results. Joining me on the call today are Benjamin Urban, our Chief Executive Officer, and Fareeha Khan, our Chief Financial Officer. Today's call will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. These statements are based on our current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially. We will also reference non-GAAP measures during this call. Reconciliations of those measures to GAAP can be found in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 6, as well as in our supplemental materials. With that, I'll turn the call over to Fareeha to walk through our first quarter financial results.

[Fareeha Khan, CFO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Thank you, Adrian, and good morning, everyone. Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was CAD 42.4 million, an increase of 3% year-over-year, reflecting continued demand stability despite seasonality and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Gross profit for the quarter was CAD 13 million, representing a gross margin of 30.6% compared to 35.2% in the prior year period. Margin performance reflects higher aluminum prices, tariff-related headwinds, and lower margins within installation-related work. During the quarter, we incurred approximately CAD 2 million in tariff-related costs compared to CAD 0.6 million of tariff mitigation costs in the prior year period. Tariffs represented approximately 4.7% of total revenue in the quarter. Total operating expenses were CAD 16.3 million, compared to CAD 14.9 million in the first quarter of 2025.

[Fareeha Khan, CFO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

This increase was largely attributable to CAD 2.4 million of reorganization expenses related to the continued deployment of our transformation initiatives, primarily workforce and organizational actions to optimize the cost structure. Excluding stock-based compensation and reorganization expenses, our core operating expenses reduced from CAD 13.9 million in Q1 2025 to CAD 13 million in Q1 2026. Net loss after tax for the quarter was CAD 3.3 million, compared to a net loss of CAD 0.7 million in the prior year. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by lower gross profit and higher reorganization expenses, partially offset by lower core operating costs and favorable foreign exchange movements. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was CAD 1.4 million or 3.3% of revenue compared to CAD 2.1 million or 5.1% of revenue in the prior year period.

[Fareeha Khan, CFO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

From a liquidity perspective, we ended the quarter with approximately CAD 15 million of cash on hand, reflecting repayment of the January convertible debentures, capital expenditures of approximately CAD 0.7 million and employee related tax payments, partially offset by CAD 6.9 million of net proceeds from the BDC financing and positive operating cash flow of CAD 1.2 million during the quarter. Total liquidity at quarter end was CAD 25.1 million, inclusive of CAD 10 million availability under our RBC revolving credit facility, and we remain in compliance with all financial covenants. With that, I'll turn the call over to Benjamin for additional commentary on the business.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Thank you, Fareeha. While macroeconomic uncertainty and trade policy volatility persist, DIRTT continues to make meaningful progress executing its transformation strategy. The tariff response we initiated in early 2025 is now fully implemented and embedded into our operating model. What began as a defensive response has evolved into a structural advantage, providing manufacturing and sourcing flexibility on both sides of the border. From a commercial perspective, we continue to see improving coordination between partners and clients as project schedules become clearer. Importantly, cancellations and losses remain de minimis, reinforcing our view that demand has largely been deferred rather than lost. These outcomes are increasingly repeatable across regions and verticals, reflecting execution discipline rather than isolated project timing. During the quarter, particularly in March, we saw this dynamic reflected in a number of project awards across government, healthcare, technology, and professional services.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

The quarter included a major Canadian government project valued at over CAD 8 million, alongside additional enterprise and institutional wins in the United States, including projects for Google in New York, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Lucid Motors, and MNP. While varying in size and scope, these projects share common decision drivers, customers prioritizing speed of execution, cost certainty, and minimizing disruption within occupied spaces. Our 12-month forward pipeline stands at approximately CAD 338 million, representing 16% growth year-over-year, with particular strength in healthcare, government, and education. Construction services accounts for approximately CAD 55 million of the pipeline and continues to convert at attractive rates. This performance continues to validate construction services as a complementary capability within our broader channel model, enhancing conversion without altering our partner-led strategy.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

These trends are supported by improvements in operational discipline, partner enablement, and bid selectivity, all of which are key pillars of the new operating model we are implementing. As discussed in prior quarters, this model is designed to reduce complexity, unlock capacity across the enterprise, and support structurally improved revenue growth and earnings quality over time. With respect to tariffs, we are actively evaluating the impact of recent developments, including the April 2026 U.S. tariff announcements and the recent Supreme Court ruling related to IEEPA. At this stage, the financial impact and recoverability of any tariff refunds remain uncertain, and no recoveries have been recorded. With respect to the Falkbuilt litigation, proceedings remain ongoing. As previously disclosed, DIRTT is pursuing claims related to damages suffered in Canada, the United States, and internationally.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Given the nature of the process, we are not in a position to comment further at this time, and no amounts have been recorded in our financial statements. Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined execution. With a growing pipeline, improving conversion dynamics, and a streamlined operating model, we believe DIRTT is better positioned to translate demand into sustainable revenue growth and improving earnings quality over time. I'd like to thank the DIRTT team for their continued commitment to transformation and operational excellence. With that, operator, please open the call for questions.

[Operator]

Thank you. At this time, we will conduct the question and answer session with CFO Fareeha Khan. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Jeff Kuwal. Your line is now open.

[Analyst]

Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking my call. Benjamin, I guess this is geared towards you. Construction services, you mentioned that about 16% of your 12-month pipeline now, are in the construction services bucket. Could you give us a little bit more idea of when you expect that to become a line reporting item, which I believe is 10% in the U.S.? Maybe just a little bit more color around sort of the successes you're seeing in early days and some of the challenges you've noticed. Thank you.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Yeah. Jeff, thank you for that question. Just one clarification. The total pipeline of construction services at the moment is roughly CAD 55 million. The total forward 12-month pipeline has increased by 16%, just for clarity. Yeah. As mentioned, we are seeing continued expansion there with construction services. Really an outcome of our ability to continue to be efficient in executing is a critical component of the new operating model that in transformation that we're in the middle of. However, we do tend to have significantly more control over those projects, which helps to my comments about an attractive conversion rates. That specific channel, because of that ability to have greater clarity into it allows us that.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

As far as how we record, I think we, at this point, excuse me, haven't reached a point in which the total dollar amount of recognized revenue would allow us to actually account for it separately. We're still seeing it be attractive growth model and channel for us. At the moment, we haven't broken it out separately with regards to total revenue that's been brought through that channel.

[Analyst]

Okay, great. One more question from me. You maintained your guidance for the year, and you did mention that the first quarter is typically seasonally the weakest of the four for you. If you could maybe give us a little bit of a historical perspective in how much weaker Q1 tends to be, or sorry, the.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Yeah.

[Analyst]

Yeah, Q1 tends to be for you. Then maybe we can extrapolate to see if you're still on track. I mean, obviously, you're indicating you are. Maybe if you could, just tell us a little bit more about that, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Yeah, sure, Jeff. Yeah, you're accurate. Q1 tends to be our lightest quarter. Historically trending our second half of the year tends to be heavier, hence the reason we have maintained guidance with regards to top line. Through the transformation we're in the middle of and the new operating model, we continue to see efficiency gains in EBITDA.

[Analyst]

Thank you. That's it for me.

[Benjamin Urban, CEO at DIRTT Environmental Solutions]

Great. Thank you, Jeff.

[Operator]
