MONTRÉAL, Nov. 10,
2023 /CNW/ - LOGISTEC Corporation ("LOGISTEC") (TSX:
LGT.A) (TSX: LGT.B) (the "Company"), a marine and environmental
services provider, announced today its financial results for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023. LOGISTEC results reflects the
execution of its growth strategy and continued positive
momentum.
Highlights From the Third Quarter of 2023
- Consolidated revenue totalled $307.2
million, up $23.0 million or
8.1%;
- Adjusted EBITDA (1) closed at $58.9 million;
- Total diluted earnings per share of $1.36, down $1.07;
- Successful integration of Fednav's terminal division ("FMT")
into LOGISTEC;
- ALTRA | SANEXEN perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
("PFAS") water technologies recognized as CLEAN50;
- Acquisition of the remaining 32.7% interest in FER-PAL
Construction Ltd., a key strategic player in the deployment of our
ALTRA water main renewal technology.
Highlights From the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2023
- Consolidated revenue totalled $711.0
million, up $66.4 million or
10.3%;
- Adjusted EBITDA (1) closed at $106.5 million, up $4.6
million;
- Total diluted earnings per share of $0.90, down $2.07;
- Environmental services' backlog stood at $84.3 million for the remaining of the year.
"This top line growth demonstrates the strength of our extensive
network of terminals, our innovative environmental solutions and
the ability of our exceptional team to deliver," said Madeleine Paquin, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "We are moving into the year's final stretch with
confidence and a renewed energy on executing our plan with
discipline and agility."
LOGISTEC's Chief Financial Officer, Carl
Delisle, added: "We have delivered a solid third quarter and
continue to successfully execute our strategic plan, while we chart
our path forward. Last month's announcement to sell LOGISTEC
represents the next step in our strategic transformation,
positioning us for greater success and creating meaningful benefits
for all stakeholders. We are very excited to partner with Blue Wolf
Capital and Stonepeak to accelerate sustainable, profitable
growth."
Results of the Period
LOGISTEC delivered good operational results during the third
quarter of 2023. Consolidated revenue was $307.2 million for the period, an increase of
$23.0 million or 8.1% over the same
period in 2022. However, the Company's profits were negatively
impacted by rising interest rates, the additional costs related to
the strategic review, higher depreciation and amortization
expense resulting from the business combination, and lower share of
profit of equity accounted investments.

Marine Services
Revenue from the marine services segment reached $182.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, up
$22 .1 million or 13.7% from the prior year, reflecting the full
benefits of the successful integration of LOGISTEC's latest
acquisition, FMT. This increase was partly offset by lower general
cargo volumes derived from the wind energy sector in the U.S. East
Coast region.
Bulk activities, both in Canada
and the USA once again delivered
strong volumes and revenue. Port logistics activities performed
well, gaining shares in new markets with their last mile
initiatives.
We are seeing different trends from our equity accounted
investments. On the one hand, although this was expected, our
container activities are handling lower volumes in 2023 and are not
seeing the substantial storage revenue as last year. On the other
hand, our other joint ventures are doing well, including our marine
transportation services to the northern communities, which are
having a very busy year in terms of cargo carried to the
Arctic.
This quarter, our marine services team further strengthened
their efforts to organically grow our business, provide innovative
services across our extensive network, and attract new customers –
resulting in an even more diversified revenue base.
Environmental Services
Revenue from the environmental services segment in the third
quarter of 2023 was $124.5 million, a
0.7% increase compared with the same period in 2022, which is
consistent with last year's results.
Progress on all major industry-leading projects during the
quarter was strong, and the remaining projects across
Canada are on track to be largely
completed by the end of the year. Revenue from site remediation and
contaminated soils and materials management services are strong,
driven by more regulated materials and waste to be managed on
behalf of our industrial clients, and to some extent steady
contaminated soils volumes handled. We completed the final soil
disposal for the Reseau Express Metropolitan ("REM") project in
Montréal, the largest public transit project undertaken in Québec
in the last 50 years, a project for which we have handled more than
500,000 metric tonnes since its inception.
Our sludge and biosolids dredging and dewatering operations
achieved its best performance since the acquisition of American
Process Group in 2021, boosted by good commercial momentum in all
geographies, particularly in the USA.
The environmental team continued to expand its PFAS market
penetration across North America.
The first full-scale continuous PFAS treatment system with Waste
Connections will start this November. The first-of-its kind "clean
water-as-a-service" agreement also includes additional sites which
are under active negotiation. Other PFAS treatment projects with
major waste management companies are in the request for proposal
stage.
The ALTRA | SANEXEN team received the 2024 Clean50 Award, in the
Clean Technology category on September
28. This prestigious award recognizes leaders from across
Canada who have done the most to
advance climate action and develop smart climate solutions.
Outlook
Our third quarter results highlight the long-term runway for
LOGISTEC, driven by our unique combination of an extensive network
of marine terminals, innovative environmental solutions, and our
people's ingenuity. As we look ahead, these competitive advantages
will be an essential element of our continued good performance -
against a backdrop of strong secular demand drivers.
Our marine services team will continue to add to its range of
solutions to address key challenges and respond to customers'
needs. In order to support fluid and resilient supply chains, they
will capitalize on a growing network of port terminals in
North America, a depth of
expertise in cargo handling, strong long-term partnerships, and
innovative solutions.
The environmental team is focused on delivering improved
operational performance, against a robust set of opportunities and
increased backlog. The PFAS market represents a significant
long-term opportunity for our environmental services segment, which
is driven by its leading position in the marketplace, its deep
expertise and unique "clean water-as-a-service" solution.
Our good operational performance for the first nine months of
the year, combined with our expectation for the remainder of the
year, the resilience of our business model, and the effectiveness
of our growth strategies, are leading us to be confident for the
future.

Non-IFRS measure
Adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization expense ("adjusted EBITDA") is not
defined by IFRS and cannot be formally presented in financial
statements. The definition of adjusted EBITDA excludes the
configuration and customization costs related to the implementation
of an Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system, and since the
second quarter of 2023, the Company excluded professional fees
incurred in a business combination and analyzing other business
development opportunities ("transaction costs"). Please refer to
the arrangement agreement section of the management's discussion
and analysis and Note 4 of the notes to the Q3 2023 condensed
consolidated interim financial statements for further information
on the nature of the transaction costs incurred in the first nine
months of 2023. The definition of adjusted EBITDA used by the
Company may differ from those used by other companies. The Company
excludes the configuration and customization costs related to the
implementation of an ERP system and transaction costs because they
affect the comparability of our financial results and could
potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance.
Excluding these items does not imply they are
non-recurring. Even though adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS
measure, it is used by managers, analysts, investors, and other
financial stakeholders to analyze and assess the Company's
performance and management from a financial and operational
standpoint. The definition of adjusted EBITDA has been applied
retroactively and comparative figures have been amended accordingly
to comply to the current year definition.
