Trican Reports First Quarter Results for 2026 and Declares Quarterly DividendMay 11, 2026 7:50 PM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - Trican Well Service Ltd. (TSX: TCW) ("Trican" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its first quarter results for 2026. The following news release should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as well as the Annual Information Form ("AIF") for the year ended December 31, 2025. All of these documents are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTSTrican's results for the first quarter compared to the prior year period were higher due to an increase in operating activity, including the contribution from the Iron Horse acquisition: Revenue was $330.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $259.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.Adjusted EBITDAS1 and adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $77.7 million and $70.1 million, compared to $62.3 million and $61.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.Free cash flow1 and free cash flow per share1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $49.6 million, $0.24 per share basic and $0.23 per share diluted compared to $43.0 million, $0.23 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company returned an aggregate of $16.5 million to shareholders, consisting of $11.6 million from quarterly dividends and $4.9 million from the Company's Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") program.Profit and profit per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $30.3 million, $0.14 per share basic and diluted compared to $31.9 million, $0.17 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Profit and profit per share were impacted primarily by higher share-based compensation, increased technology initiative expenses and higher depreciation expense related to the Iron Horse acquisition.The Company's statement of financial position remains solid with positive working capital1, excluding cash, of $142.7 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $179.2 million at December 31, 2025. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had net debt of $29.8 million, comprised of loans and borrowings of $31.2 million, offset by cash of $1.4 million compared to a net debt position of $79.9 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in net debt primarily reflects repayments of loans and borrowings during the quarter. RETURN OF CAPITALThe Company continues to be active in its NCIB program as a key component of its return of capital strategy:During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Trican purchased and cancelled 756,900 common shares under its NCIB program at a weighted average price of $6.46 per share, or approximately 0.4% of the Company's outstanding shares at December 31, 2025.

The Company has approved a capital budget for 2026 of $122 million, underscoring the Company's commitment to disciplined investment and long-term growth. The approved capital budget reflects the Company's continued focus on maintenance capital to ensure reliability and efficiency across Trican's four divisions, while allocating targeted growth capital to advance modernization initiatives and position the Company for future opportunities. Growth capital includes approximately $40 million for Canada's first 100% natural gas fueled, continuous, heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing fleet, which is expected to be field ready in the second half of 2026.The Company is undertaking a significant technology modernization initiative starting with our base financial system and implementing an integrated enterprise resource planning ("ERP") platform. Trican anticipates ongoing technology enhancements including advanced data analytics to enhance operational efficiency, reliability and competitiveness over the years. The investment for 2026 is anticipated to be $13 million which will be presented as G&A expense in accordance with IFRS.The Company will fund these expenditures with available cash resources, free cash flow1 and our revolving credit facility. Hydraulic fracturing fleetWe continue to advance the modernization of our fracturing fleet through targeted investments in lower-emission and next-generation technologies, including the addition of a 100% natural gas fueled, continuous, heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing fleet. This approach builds on our modernization strategy over recent years, including prior investments in upgrading existing equipment with Tier 4 Dynamic Gas Blending ("Tier 4 DGB") engine technology alongside the construction of new fully electric ancillary equipment. The combination of Tier 4 DGB engines and fully electric ancillary equipment can displace up to 90% of the diesel used in a conventional fracturing operation with natural gas resulting in lower overall fuel costs and reduced carbon dioxide and particulate matter emissions. Our ongoing fleet modernization also includes the deployment of industry leading continuous heavy duty pumps (3,000 HHP) and idle reduction technology packages which enable longer pumping times and improved operating efficiencies. Trican's fracturing fleet includes five active Tier 4 DGB fleets with a total Tier 4 DGB capacity of 210,000 HHP. Trican has three sets of electric ancillary equipment with the construction of a fourth set of electric ancillary equipment underway and expected to be field ready by Q3 2026.In addition to these fleet modernization initiatives, Trican expanded its fracturing and completion service capabilities through the acquisition of Iron Horse Coiled Tubing Inc. ("Iron Horse"), which enhances Trican's position as a leading energy services provider by adding over four fracturing spreads and expanding its operational expertise in coiled tubing-integrated fracturing operations in Alberta and Saskatchewan. These assets augment Trican's services offering across the WCSB, supporting customers throughout the drilling, completion, and production lifecycles.Tier 4 upgrades, electric ancillary equipment, the development of a 100% natural gas fueled, continuous, heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing fleet, and the expansion of coiled tubing-integrated fracturing operations through the acquisition of Iron Horse are key components of Trican's operating strategy. Our ongoing initiatives, including fleet upgrades, are intended to improve operating performance, cost efficiency, and reduce our emissions profile, thereby improving the sustainability of our operations while supporting our customers in achieving their goals.Financial positionWe continue to focus on maintaining a conservative statement of financial position with significant positive working capital1 including cash. Our ability to generate strong free cash flow1 and financial flexibility will allow us to execute our strategic plans including ongoing investment in our industry leading fleet, continued execution of our NCIB program and the payment of a quarterly dividend as a part of our disciplined capital allocation strategy which includes a consistent return of capital to our shareholders. OUTLOOK Market ConditionsTrican's outlook for the next several years remains constructive, supported by structural improvements in Canadian energy infrastructure and expanding LNG export capacity. These factors are expected to support sustained drilling and completions activity across the WCSB through 2026 and beyond.Natural gas related completion activity remains resilient despite a challenging natural gas pricing environment in Canada. Customers continue to mitigate commodity price volatility through diversified marketing strategies across North America, and the high liquids content of major Canadian gas plays continues to enhance project economics.During the first quarter of 2026, global oil markets experienced elevated and volatile commodity prices driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, disruptions to global energy supply routes, and evolving OPEC+ production policy. In this environment, customer capital programs remained disciplined as a result of uncertainty, but we expect activity programs to respond positively if oil prices remain elevated and responsive to commodity price movements and uncertainty.As a result of ongoing commodity price volatility and competitive market conditions, Trican experienced significant pricing pressure for completion services in the first quarter of 2026. This pressure reflected a balanced operating environment for fracturing equipment and continued competition across the market. Trican believes that tightening supply and demand in the second half of 2026 may contribute to more supportive market conditions and pricing. Industry and Infrastructure DevelopmentsThe commencement of LNG exports from the LNG Canada facility in mid-2025 represents a structural shift for the Canadian natural gas market by enabling access to global markets and reducing reliance on US pricing. LNG Canada is expected to reach approximately 2.0 bcf/day of capacity in mid-2026, supporting improved long-term natural gas pricing, with a potential Phase 2 expansion further strengthening market access.Additional LNG projects, including Woodfibre LNG and Cedar LNG, are expected to add approximately 0.7 bcf/day of export capacity, while Ksi Lisims LNG continues to advance through regulatory and permitting stages and is expected to add approximately 1.6 bcf/day upon completion. Completion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion has helped narrow crude oil price differentials, improving the competitiveness of Canadian oil production.Core Resource PlaysThe Montney and Duvernay continue to represent among the most attractive resource plays in North America. The Montney benefits from strong well economics, large drilling inventories and increasing LNG driven demand, while the Duvernay continues to attract capital focused on liquids-rich, high-rate wells with attractive returns. Shell plc's acquisition of ARC Resources Ltd. further highlights the desirability of the Montney as a resource play.Both reservoirs are technically complex and highly pressure-pumping-intensive, requiring advanced completion technologies, increased proppant intensity, large-scale coiled tubing units and significant cement volumes to support extended lateral designs. These characteristics are expected to drive continued demand for pressure pumping and related services provided by Trican.Strategic PositioningTrican continues to focus on expanding its logistics capabilities in response to anticipated increases in sand volumes to be pumped in the basin over the coming years. As certain customers increasingly procure and supply their own sand, Trican has adapted its operating model by redeploying equipment and personnel toward logistics, handling, and complementary service offerings that support customer activity and optimize execution across larger completion programs.The acquisition of Iron Horse in the third quarter of 2025 expanded Trican's coil-integrated fracturing capabilities, increased scale and geographic diversity, and strengthened its ability to deliver integrated services across the drilling, completion and production lifecycles.As part of our differentiation strategy, Trican continues to invest in its equipment fleet and technology platform, including the development of a high-rate, 100% natural gas-fueled fracturing design targeted for deployment in the second half of 2026 to augment our investments in Tier 4 DGB technology and electrified ancillary equipment.Beyond field operations, Trican is implementing an integrated ERP platform as part of a broader technology modernization initiative. Trican anticipates ongoing technology enhancements including advanced data analytics to enhance operational efficiency, reliability and competitiveness over the coming years.Capital AllocationTrican remains focused on generating attractive returns and returning capital to our shareholders both through our quarterly dividend and our NCIB program. We expect to allocate a significant portion of our Free Cash Flow1 to shareholder returns. Trican increased its quarterly dividend per share by 11% effective in Q1 2025. Following the completion of the Iron Horse acquisition, the board of directors approved and implemented a further 10% dividend increase, effective Q3 2025, reflecting the accretive nature of the transaction.On September 30, 2025, Trican renewed its NCIB program, which is scheduled to run from October 5, 2025 through October 4, 2026. As of May 11 2026, the Company has repurchased and cancelled approximately 2.5 million shares, representing approximately 14% of the current NCIB program. We will continue to be active with our NCIB program when market conditions present an attractive investment opportunity relative to other investment opportunities available to the Company. We believe our ability to deliver a multi-layered return of capital strategy while maintaining a strong balance sheet will lead to long-term value creation for our shareholders.  COMPARATIVE QUARTERLY INCOME STATEMENTS($ thousands, except crews1; unaudited)

Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to translate historical variability in the Company's principal business activities into future financial expectations. By isolating incremental items from net income, including income / expense items related to how the Company chooses to manage financing elements of the business, taxation strategy and non-cash charges, management can better predict future financial results from our principal business activities. Adjusted EBITDAS (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation) is a non-GAAP financial measure and has been reconciled to profit / (loss) for the applicable financial periods, being the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance, cash flow to complement profit / (loss) and to provide meaningful comparisons of operating results.The items included in this calculation of adjusted EBITDA have been specifically identified as they are non-cash in nature, subject to significant volatility between periods, and / or not relevant to our principal business activities. Items adjusted in the non-GAAP calculation of adjusted EBITDA, are as follows: Non-cash expenditures, including depreciation, amortization, impairment of non-financial assets, and equity-settled share-based compensation; Consideration as to how the Company chose to generate financial income and incur financial expenses, including foreign exchange expenses and finance costs; Taxation in various jurisdictions; and Other income / expense which generally results from the disposition of equipment, as these transactions generally do not reflect quarterly operational field activity. The item adjusted in the non-GAAP calculation of adjusted EBITDAS from adjusted EBITDA, is as follows:Cash-settled share-based compensation.($ thousands, unaudited)Three months ended

Source: Bloomberg, Bank of Canada, and Rig Locator HIGHLIGHTSCapital expenditures1 and technology modernization Capital expenditures1 for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $62.9 million ($75.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024) related primarily to maintenance capital expenditures1 and electric ancillary fracturing equipment. The Company has approved a capital budget for 2026 of $122 million, underscoring the Company's commitment to disciplined investment and long-term growth. The approved capital budget reflects the Company's continued focus on maintenance capital to ensure reliability and efficiency across Trican's four divisions, while allocating targeted growth capital to advance modernization initiatives and position the Company for future opportunities. Growth capital includes approximately $40 million for Canada's first 100% natural gas fueled, continuous, heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing fleet, which is expected to be field ready in the second half of 2026.The Company is undertaking a significant technology modernization initiative starting with our base financial system and implementing an integrated enterprise resource planning ("ERP") platform. Trican anticipates ongoing technology enhancements over the next few years including the incorporation of artificial intelligence and enhanced data analytics capabilities to remain competitive in an evolving digital landscape. The investment for 2026 is anticipated to be $10 million which will be presented as G&A expense in accordance with IFRS.The Company will fund these expenditures with available cash resources, free cash flow1 and our revolving credit facility. Hydraulic fracturing fleetWe continue to advance the modernization of our fracturing fleet through targeted investments in lower-emission and next-generation technologies, including the progression toward a 100% natural gas fueled, continuous, heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing fleet. This approach builds on our modernization strategy over recent years, including prior investments in upgrading existing equipment with Tier 4 Dynamic Gas Blending ("Tier 4 DGB") engine technology alongside the construction of new fully electric ancillary equipment. The combination of Tier 4 DGB engines and fully electric ancillary equipment can displace up to 90% of the diesel used in a conventional fracturing operation with natural gas resulting in lower overall fuel costs and reduced carbon dioxide and particulate matter emissions. Our ongoing fleet modernization also includes the deployment of industry leading continuous heavy duty pumps (3,000 HHP) and idle reduction technology packages which enable longer pumping times and improved operating efficiencies. Trican's fracturing fleet includes five active Tier 4 DGB fleets with a total Tier 4 DGB capacity of 210,000 HHP. During the second quarter of 2025, the third group of electric ancillary equipment was deployed in the field. Construction of a fourth group of electric ancillary equipment is underway and is expected to be completed by Q2 2026.In addition to these fleet modernization initiatives, Trican expanded its fracturing and completion service capabilities through the Acquisition, which enhances Trican's position as a leading energy services provider by adding over four fracturing spreads and expanding its operational expertise in coiled tubing-integrated fracturing operations in Alberta and Saskatchewan. These assets augment Trican's services offering across the WCSB, supporting customers throughout the drilling, completion, and production lifecycles.Tier 4 upgrades, electric ancillary equipment, the development of a 100% natural gas fueled, continuous, heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing fleet, and the expansion of coiled tubing-integrated fracturing operations through the Acquisition are key components of Trican's operating strategy. Our ongoing initiatives, including fleet upgrades, are intended to improve operating performance, cost efficiency, and reduce our emissions profile, thereby improving the sustainability of our operations while supporting our customers in achieving their goals.Financial positionWe continue to focus on maintaining a strong statement of financial position with significant positive working capital1 including cash. Our ability to generate strong free cash flow1 and financial flexibility will allow us to execute our strategic plans including ongoing investment in our industry leading fleet, continued execution of our NCIB program and the payment of a quarterly dividend as a part of our disciplined capital allocation strategy which includes a consistent return of capital to our shareholders.OUTLOOK Market ConditionsTrican's outlook for the next several years remains constructive, supported by structural improvements in Canadian energy infrastructure and expanding LNG export capacity. These factors are expected to support sustained drilling and completions activity across the WCSB through 2026 and beyond.Natural gas related completion activity has remained resilient despite a challenging pricing environment in Canada. Customers continue to mitigate commodity price volatility through diversified marketing strategies across North America, and the high liquids content of major Canadian gas plays continues to enhance project economics.Oil prices declined sharply during the second half of 2025, resulting in certain customers deferring or cancelling portions of their capital programs and lower-than-expected activity in the Iron Horse division in the fourth quarter of 2025. More recently, oil prices have stabilized and modestly recovered, and based on current customer schedules, activity levels are expected to improve in the first quarter of 2026. As a result of lower commodity prices experienced in 2025, pricing pressure for completion services during the second half of the year continued into the first quarter of 2026. This pressure was driven by ongoing competitive market conditions and a balanced operating environment for fracturing equipment.Industry and Infrastructure DevelopmentsThe commencement of LNG exports from the LNG Canada facility in mid-2025 represents a structural shift for the Canadian natural gas market by enabling access to global markets and reducing reliance on US pricing. LNG Canada is expected to reach approximately 2.0 bcf/day of capacity in mid-2026, supporting improved long-term natural gas pricing, with a potential Phase 2 expansion further strengthening market access.Additional LNG projects, including Woodfibre LNG and Cedar LNG, are expected to add approximately 0.7 bcf/day of export capacity, while Ksi Lisims LNG continues to advance through regulatory and permitting stages and is expected to add approximately 1.6 bcf/day upon completion. The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion helped narrow crude oil price differentials, improving the competitiveness of Canadian oil production.Core Resource PlaysThe Montney and Duvernay continue to represent the most active and attractive resource plays in the WCSB. The Montney benefits from strong well economics, large drilling inventories and increasing LNG driven demand, while the Duvernay continues to attract capital focused on liquids-rich, high-rate wells with attractive returns.Both reservoirs are technically complex and highly pressure-pumping-intensive, requiring advanced completion technologies, increased proppant intensity, large-scale coiled tubing units and significant cement volumes to support extended lateral designs. These characteristics are expected to drive continued demand for pressure pumping and related services provided by Trican.Strategic PositioningTrican continues to focus on expanding its logistics capabilities in response to anticipated increases in sand volumes to be pumped in the basin over the coming years. As certain customers transition to procuring and supplying their own sand, Trican is expanding its logistics and complementary service offerings to support customer activity and optimize execution.The acquisition of Iron Horse in the third quarter of 2025 expanded Trican's coil-integrated fracturing capabilities, increased scale and geographic diversity, and strengthened its ability to deliver integrated services across the drilling, completion and production lifecycles.As part of our differentiation strategy, Trican continues to invest in its equipment fleet and technology platform, including the development of a high-rate, 100% natural gas-fueled fracturing design targeted for deployment in the second half of 2026 to augment our investments in Tier 4 DGB technology and electrified ancillary equipment.Beyond field operations, Trican is implementing an integrated ERP platform as part of a broader technology modernization initiative. Trican anticipates ongoing technology enhancements over the coming years including the incorporation of artificial intelligence and enhanced data analytics capabilities to enhance efficiency and competitiveness. These investments are expected to enhance operational efficiency, reliability and emissions performance over the coming years.Capital AllocationTrican remains focused on generating attractive returns and returning capital to our shareholders both through our quarterly dividend and our NCIB program. We expect to allocate a significant portion of our Free Cash Flow1 to shareholder returns. Trican increased its quarterly dividend per share by 11% effective in Q1 2025. Following the completion of the Acquisition, the board of directors approved and implemented a further 10% dividend increase, reflecting the accretive nature of the transaction.On September 30, 2025, Trican renewed its NCIB program, which is scheduled to run from October 5, 2025 through October 4, 2026. As of February 18, 2026, the Company has repurchased and cancelled approximately 1.8 million shares, representing approximately 10% of the current NCIB program. We will continue to be active with our NCIB program when market conditions present an attractive investment opportunity relative to other investment opportunities available to the Company. We believe our ability to deliver a multi-layered return of capital strategy while maintaining a strong balance sheet will lead to long-term value creation for our shareholders.

Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to translate historical variability in the Company's principal business activities into future financial expectations. By isolating incremental items from net income, including income / expense items related to how the Company chooses to manage financing elements of the business, taxation strategy and non-cash charges, management can better predict future financial results from our principal business activities. Adjusted EBITDAS (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation) is a non-GAAP financial measure and has been reconciled to profit / (loss) for the applicable financial periods, being the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance, cash flow to complement profit / (loss) and to provide meaningful comparisons of operating results.The items included in this calculation of adjusted EBITDA have been specifically identified as they are non-cash in nature, subject to significant volatility between periods, and / or not relevant to our principal business activities. Items adjusted in the non-GAAP calculation of adjusted EBITDA, are as follows: Non-cash expenditures, including depreciation, amortization, impairment of non-financial assets, and equity-settled share-based compensation; Consideration as to how the Company chose to generate financial income and incur financial expenses, including foreign exchange expenses and finance costs; Taxation in various jurisdictions; and Other income / expense which generally results from the disposition of equipment, as these transactions generally do not reflect quarterly operational field activity. The item adjusted in the non-GAAP calculation of adjusted EBITDAS from adjusted EBITDA, is as follows:Cash-settled share-based compensation.($ thousands)

 Free cash flow and free cash flow per shareFree cash flow and free cash flow per share are non-GAAP financial measures which Management believes to be key measures of capital management as they demonstrate the Company's ability to generate cash flow available to fund future growth through capital investments and return capital to our shareholders.Free cash flow has been reconciled to cash flow from operations for the applicable financial periods, being the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. Management adjusts for other (income) / loss, realized (gain) / loss, current income tax, income taxes paid, maintenance capital expenditures1 included within purchase of property and equipment from the statement of cash flows, net changes in other liabilities and change in non-cash operating working capital1.Management reconciles free cash flow from adjusted EBITDA for the applicable financial periods by adjusting for interest paid, current income tax expense, and maintenance capital expenditures1 included within the purchase of property and equipment from the statement of cash flows as they are considered non-discretionary.Free cash flow per share is calculated by dividing free cash flow by the Company's basic or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.Free cash flow and free cash flow per share are not standardized measures and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities.($ thousands)
