Canada's BluMetric Environmental Q3 revenue jumps on acquisitions, WaterTech growth
Overview
Canada water technology firm's fiscal Q3 revenue rose 43% yr/yr, driven by acquisitions and WaterTech USA
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal Q3 more than tripled yr/yr as operating leverage improved
Net loss widened due to higher non-cash depreciation, amortization and share compensation costs
Outlook
Company expects Q4 to be the strongest quarter for Professional Services due to seasonality
BluMetric is expanding WaterTech USA's manufacturing capacity to meet U.S. and Caribbean demand
Company is pursuing more Mining sector work and preparing to bid for larger Military contracts
Result Drivers
WATERTECH USA AND ACQUISITIONS - Revenue growth was mainly driven by WaterTech USA, acquisition of DS Consultants and Whitteker Environmental, and improved Professional Services utilization
MINING SECTOR DEMAND - Mining market revenues increased 63% in the fiscal quarter, reflecting increasing demand for higher-value technical and consulting services in Northern Ontario and Quebec
INVESTMENTS AND OVERHEAD - Investments in WaterTech USA's O&M services and larger overhead to support growth partly offset operating leverage gains
