VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Finning International Inc. (TSX: FTT) (“Finning”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) reported second quarter 2026 results today. All monetary amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and all financial information in this earnings release represents the results from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. (1)
HIGHLIGHTS
All comparisons are to Q2 2025 results unless indicated otherwise.
- Q2 Revenue was up 20% on Q2 2025 and exceeded $3 billion for the first time, led by new equipment sales in all regions and product support growth in Canada.
- Product support revenue increased 11% with growth across all market sectors. Q2 2026 was the 9th quarter in a row of year-over-year product support growth.
- SG&A (2) margin (3) was 13.3% and included $21 million of LTIP (2) expense due to continued share price appreciation.
- EBIT (2) at $249 million, was up on Q2 2025 Adjusted EBIT (4)(5) by 16%.
- EBIT margin (3) was 8.0%, down 30 basis points from Q2 2025 Adjusted EBIT margin (3)(5). Adjusted EBIT margin was 9.7% in South America, 8.3% in Canada, and 6.2% in the UK & Ireland.
- Record EPS of $1.22 was up 21% from Q2 2025 Adjusted EPS (2)(3)(5) of $1.01.
- Adjusted ROIC (2) from continuing operations (3)(5) was 19.0%, up 30 basis points compared to June 30, 2025.
- Free cash flow (4) was a cash inflow of $15 million, with increased collections from higher revenues offsetting investments in working capital to support growth. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (2)(3)(5) at June 30, 2026 was 1.6 times.
- Equipment backlog (3) maintained a record level of $3.8 billion at June 30, 2026, up 22% from December 31, 2025, driven by order intake outpacing deliveries across all regions, particularly in the mining and power & energy sectors.
“Our business continued to build momentum through the second quarter of 2026, and I would like to express my gratitude to our employees for their dedication, agility, and execution. Their commitment to serving our customers and delivering on our strategy enabled us to achieve another quarter of strong growth and operational performance.
We are pleased with our results, highlighted by 20% revenue growth taking us to $3.1 billion, driven by strong new equipment sales across all regions and continued product support growth.
Through a combination of healthy customer demand, disciplined execution, and targeted investments in growth opportunities, we delivered earnings per share of $1.22, up 21% from the prior year while our equipment backlog remained at a record $3.8 billion at the end of June, up 22% since the beginning of the year,” said Kevin Parkes, President and CEO.
“Canada continued to lead our growth, with strong demand across all market sectors including product support revenue, up 19% in the quarter, while both our South American and UK & Ireland businesses continued to demonstrate resilience in dynamic market environments. Across all regions, our teams remained focused on balancing growth with disciplined cost and capital management.
We generated EBIT of $249 million and maintained a strong adjusted return on invested capital of 19.0%. Our free cash flow was positive despite investments in working capital to support higher levels of business activity, and our balance sheet remains strong with net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 1.6 times.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategy and our ability to execute. Strong customer activity, a record backlog and growing product support revenues position us well for the future. We continue to focus on maximizing product support, enhancing full-cycle resilience and expanding our used equipment, rental, and power & energy businesses,” concluded Mr. Parkes.

Q2 2026 HIGHLIGHTS BY OPERATION
All comparisons are to Q2 2025 results unless indicated otherwise. All numbers, except Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations, are in functional currency: Canada – Canadian dollar; South America – US dollar (USD); UK & Ireland – UK pound sterling (GBP). These variances and ratios for South America and UK & Ireland exclude the foreign currency translation impact from the CAD relative to the USD and GBP, respectively, and are therefore considered to be specified financial measures. We believe the variances and ratios in functional currency provide meaningful information about operational performance of the reporting segment.
South America Operations
- New equipment sales were up by 35%, due to higher construction and mining deliveries in Chile.
- Product support revenue was up 3%, driven by higher mining activity in Chile and increased revenue in all sectors in Argentina.
- EBIT margin of 9.7% was down 40 basis points from Q2 2025 Adjusted EBIT margin, primarily driven by higher mix of new equipment revenue and product support margin compression, partially offset by improvement in SG&A margin.
- Adjusted ROIC of 23.5% was down 240 bps, impacted by higher average invested capital driven by working capital investments.
Canada Operations
- New equipment, used equipment, and rental sales were all higher in the quarter, led by strong demand for new equipment in mining and continued market share gains in construction.
- Product support revenue was up 19%, reflecting strong demand across all sectors, particularly mining.
- EBIT margin of 8.3% was down 110 basis points from Adjusted EBIT margin, driven by lower product support margins and higher proportion of new equipment in the revenue mix, partially offset by improved SG&A margin.
- Adjusted ROIC was 18.0%, up 170 basis points on higher EBIT in the last twelve-month period, partially offset by higher average invested capital.
UK & Ireland Operations
- New equipment sales were up 34% driven by delivery of delayed sales from Q1 2026.
- Product support revenue was down 2%, primarily due to lower activity in construction and power & energy sectors.
- EBIT margin of 6.2% was up 100 basis points, driven by robust SG&A control on higher revenue.
- Adjusted ROIC was 21.6%, up 320 basis points, reflecting the higher EBIT in the last twelve-month period and lower average invested capital levels from the optimization of pension assets.
Corporate and Other Items
- EBIT loss for Corporate was $17 million compared to an Adjusted EBIT loss of $23 million in Q2 2025, primarily driven by lower operating costs.
- In Q2 2026, we repurchased 0.4 million shares at an average cost of $100.06 per share.
Finning Announces Executive Leadership Transition in South America
Finning announces that Juan Pablo Amar is retiring as President of Finning South America, following a distinguished career spanning more than 30 years with the Company. To support a smooth transition, Mr. Amar will continue in an advisory capacity until his retirement on November 30, 2026.
Since joining Finning in 1993, Mr. Amar has held numerous leadership positions of increasing responsibility with Finning South America, including Vice President, Human Resources, Vice President, Finance and Vice President, Operations, before being appointed President, Finning South America in January 2020.
“Juan Pablo has made an extraordinary contribution to Finning during his tenure, leading South America through a period of transformational growth while fostering a strong customer and safety focused culture”, said Kevin Parkes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Juan Pablo’s leadership, integrity and dedication to developing his leadership team have helped shape the organization we are today and positions our South America business for continued success.”
Stepping into the role of President of Finning South America is Sebastian Reisch, effective today. Mr. Reisch brings 19 years of leadership experience with Finning across Canada and South America, holding a variety of senior roles spanning finance, supply chain, customer experience, product support, marketing and sales. Most recently, he served as Vice President, Finance & Supply Chain for Finning South America.
“Sebastian is a proven and respected leader with deep knowledge of our business, strong customer relationships and extensive experience across multiple functions and geographies. We have tremendous confidence in Sebastian to build on our strong foundation and lead our South America business forward.”
MARKET UPDATE AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The discussion of our expectations relating to the market and business outlook in this section is forward-looking information that is based upon the assumptions and subject to the material risks discussed under the heading “Forward-Looking Information Caution” at the end of this news release. Actual outcomes and results may vary significantly.
South America Operations
In Chile, our outlook is underpinned by growing global demand for copper, strong copper prices, capital deployment into large-scale brownfield expansions under supportive government priorities, and customer confidence to invest in greenfield projects. We are seeing a broad-based level of quoting, tender, and award activity for mining equipment, product support, and technology solutions. In the near term, we expect some moderation in product support activity levels as customers adjust their mine plans and existing equipment fleets. While demand for skilled labour remains high, we expect a more stabilized labour environment through 2028 as we have successfully concluded negotiations with all major unions as of Q1 2026.
In the Chilean construction sector, we continue to see demand from large contractors supporting mining operations, and we expect infrastructure construction activity to remain steady. In the power & energy sector, activity remains strong in the industrial and data centre markets, driving growing demand for electric power solutions.
In Argentina, we are carefully positioning our business to capture opportunities, particularly in the oil and gas and mining sectors. We are seeing increased quoting activity for equipment and are encouraged by our equipment order with Glencore’s Alumbrera copper mine in Q1 2026. At the same time, the operating environment remains dynamic, and we continue to closely monitor the government’s rules and policies, some of which help drive large-scale investment. We expect activity levels to continue to improve in the coming years, subject to a constructive investment environment.
Canada Operations
Our outlook for Western Canada is positive. We expect strong activity levels in our mining business as customers grow fleets and maintain and rebuild aging equipment. In the power & energy sector, activity remains strong in the oil and gas market, with longer-term potential in the data centre market where we continue active discussions with numerous customers on primary and back-up power generation opportunities. We are leveraging the expertise of our UK & Ireland operations with over a decade of experience in the data centre space, to become a trusted and value-add partner to our customers.
The construction sector continues to show signs of improvement. We are encouraged by announcements regarding the potential to accelerate resource development and infrastructure project activity, but we remain cautious with respect to the timing and magnitude of such potential activity.
We remain focused on building resilience by managing our cost and invested capital levels.
UK & Ireland Operations
With low GDP (2) growth projected in the UK to continue, we expect demand in the construction sector to remain soft. We expect a growing contribution from power & energy as we continue to execute our strategy. In power & energy, quoting activity remains strong, driven by healthy demand for primary and backup power generation, particularly backup power in the data centre market. We expect our product support business in the UK & Ireland to remain stable.
Global Trade and Geopolitical Risk Update
We continue to closely monitor the evolving global trade dynamics, along with the escalating geopolitical tension in the Middle East which has introduced heightened volatility across global energy and commodity markets. To date, we have not seen direct impacts on customer purchasing decisions, major supply chain shifts, or changes in the competitive environment in our operating regions. However, we remain cautious and are actively evaluating mitigation strategies and contingency measures to address these potential risks.
Execution Focus
We plan to continue to execute our strategy in 2026: maximize product support, improve our cost and capital position to drive full-cycle resilience, and grow prudently in used, rental, and power & energy. Consistent execution will enable us to continue to meet our objective of achieving a sustainably higher Adjusted ROIC in the range of 18-25% in all market conditions.

Description of Specified Financial Measures and Reconciliations
Specified Financial Measures
We believe that certain specified financial measures, including non-GAAP (1) financial measures, provide users of our Earnings Release with important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of our business. The specified financial measures we use do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, specified financial measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP (GAAP financial measures). By considering these specified financial measures in combination with the comparable GAAP financial measures (where available) we believe that users are provided a better overall understanding of our business and financial performance during the relevant period than if they simply considered the GAAP financial measures alone.
We use KPIs to consistently measure performance against our priorities across the organization. Some of our KPIs are specified financial measures.
There may be significant items that we do not consider indicative of our operational and financial trends, either by nature or amount. We exclude these items when evaluating our operating financial performance. These items may not be non-recurring, but we believe that excluding these significant items from GAAP financial measures provides a better understanding of our financial performance when considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. Financial measures that have been adjusted to take these significant items into account are referred to as “Adjusted” measures. Adjusted measures are specified financial measures and are intended to provide additional information to readers of the Earnings Release.
Descriptions and components of the specified financial measures we use in this Earnings Release are set out below. Where applicable, quantitative reconciliations from certain specified financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (specified, defined, or determined under GAAP and used in our consolidated financial statements) are also set out below.
Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS excludes the after-tax per share impact of significant items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance. The tax impact of each significant item is calculated by applying the relevant applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the significant item occurred. The after-tax per share impact of significant items is calculated by dividing the after-tax amount of significant items by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
A reconciliation between EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) and Adjusted EPS can be found on page 10 of this Earnings Release.
Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends, either by nature or amount, to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization to Adjusted EBIT.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT is EBIT.
Significant items identified by management that affected our results from continuing operations were as follows:
- In Q1 2026, we recorded severance costs for headcount reductions related to consolidation efforts and changes to our organizational structure aimed at simplifying structures and strengthening our service resiliency.
- In Q4 2025, following an evaluation of the business needs of our operations, including an alignment with Caterpillar’s digital and technology strategy, several technology assets have been decommissioned; as a result, we derecognized previously capitalized costs.
- In Q2 2025, we recorded severance costs for headcount reductions related to consolidation efforts and changes to our organizational structure focused on non-revenue generating positions, primarily in selected back office and technology roles.
- In Q3 2024, we recorded severance costs related to the headcount reductions and consolidation efforts focused on non-revenue generating positions, including selected technology and supply chain roles as well as some financial support functions as we worked to simplify our business activities in each of our operations.
- In Q3 2024, our Canadian operations recorded an estimated loss for receivables from Victoria Gold, a mining customer that was placed into receivership following a landslide at its mine.
- On December 13, 2023, the then newly-elected Argentine government devalued the ARS (1) official exchange rate by 118% from 366.5 ARS to 800 ARS for USD 1. As a result of prolonged government currency restrictions, including no material access to USD starting in late August 2023, our ARS exposure increased and during this period economic hedges were not available. As a result of the growth in our ARS exposure and the significant devaluation of the ARS in the fourth quarter, our South American operations incurred a foreign exchange loss of $56 million which exceeds the typical foreign exchange impact in the region.
- We began to implement our invested capital improvement plan as outlined at our 2023 Investor Day, which targets selling and optimizing real estate and exiting low-ROIC activities. In Q4 2023:
- our South American operations sold a property in Chile and recorded a gain of $13 million on the sale; and
- following an evaluation of the business needs of our operations and related intangible assets, several software and technology assets had been or were planned to be decommissioned, and as a result, we derecognized previously capitalized costs of $12 million.

Equipment Backlog
Equipment backlog is defined as the retail value of new equipment units ordered by customers for future deliveries. We use equipment backlog as a measure of projecting future new equipment deliveries. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure for equipment backlog.
Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by or used in operating activities less net additions to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, as disclosed in our financial statements. Free cash flow from continuing operations excludes free cash flow from discontinued operations. We use free cash flow from continuing operations to assess cash operating performance, including working capital efficiency. Positive free cash flow generation enables us to re-invest capital to grow our business, repay debt, and return capital to shareholders. A reconciliation from cash flow used in or provided by operating activities to free cash flow from continuing operations is as follows:

Invested Capital from Continuing Operations
Invested capital is defined as net debt plus total equity. Invested capital is also calculated as total assets less total liabilities, excluding net debt. Net debt is calculated as short-term and long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use invested capital from continuing operations as a measure of the total cash investment made in Finning and each reportable segment. Invested capital from continuing operations is used in a number of different measurements (ROIC from continuing operations, Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations, invested capital turnover from continuing operations) to assess financial performance against other companies and between reportable segments. Invested capital from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

Invested Capital Turnover from Continuing Operations
We use invested capital turnover from continuing operations to measure capital efficiency. Invested capital turnover from continuing operations is calculated as revenue from continuing operations for the last twelve months divided by average invested capital from continuing operations of the last four quarters.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio from Continuing Operations
We use this ratio to assess operating leverage and ability to repay debt. This ratio approximates the length of time, in years, that it would take us to repay debt, with net debt and Adjusted EBITDA held constant. This ratio is calculated as net debt from continuing operations at the reporting date divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net debt from continuing operations is calculated as follows:

Gross Profit Margin, SG&A Margin, and EBIT Margin
We use these specified financial measures to assess and evaluate the financial performance or profitability of our reportable segments. We may also calculate EBIT margin using Adjusted EBIT to exclude significant items we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance.
The ratios are calculated, respectively, as gross profit divided by revenue, SG&A divided by revenue, and EBIT divided by revenue.
Adjusted ROIC from Continuing Operations
ROIC is defined as EBIT for the last twelve months divided by average invested capital of the last four quarters, expressed as a percentage. We also calculate Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations using Adjusted EBIT to exclude significant items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance and invested capital from continuing operations. We use Adjusted ROIC from continuing operations as a useful measure for capital allocation decisions that drive profitable growth and attractive returns to shareholders.
FOOTNOTES
(1) As a result of the sales of our interests in ComTech (2) and 4Refuel (2) on May 15, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, these businesses qualified as discontinued operations. Effective Q2 2025, the comparative figures have been restated to exclude the results of discontinued operations. For the purposes of this MD&A (2), balance sheet key performance measures and free cash flow have also been restated to exclude the results of discontinued operations from the relevant comparative periods. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information in this MD&A represents the results from continuing operations. For more information, please refer to our 2025 Annual MD&A.

Some of the assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information contained in this news release, are discussed in our current AIF and in our annual and most recent quarterly MD&A for the financial risks. We caution readers that the risks described in the annual and most recent quarterly MD&A and in the AIF are not the only ones that could impact us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that are currently deemed to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking information does not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other unusual items or of any dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the date of this news release. The financial impact of these transactions and non-recurring and other unusual items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. We therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same manner we present known risks affecting our business.
