Canada's AGI Q2 revenue falls on Commercial segment weakness

Overview

• Canada food infrastructure equipment provider's Q2 revenue fell 7% yr/yr, adjusted EBITDA down 20%

• Commercial segment softness and geopolitical events weighed on results, partly offset by farm segment gains

• Company formed strategic review committee and targets over $30 mln in annualized cost savings

Outlook

• Order book down 22% YOY to $516 mln as of June 30, 2026

• Company expects continued Commercial softness and guarded Farm recovery to weigh on H2 and full-yr results

• AGI expects to monetize at least $20 mln from unused facility and asset sales in H2 2026

Result Drivers

• COMMERCIAL SEGMENT WEAKNESS - Lower sales volumes in North America and internationally, especially EMEA, along with geopolitical events in the Black Sea and Middle East, weighed on Commercial segment revenue and margins

• FARM SEGMENT IMPROVEMENT - Higher North American demand and cost savings drove a 10% increase in Farm segment revenue and 12% rise in segment adjusted EBITDA

• COST CONTAINMENT - SGA and operational SGA expenses fell due to recent corporate restructuring, supporting margins despite lower overall volumes
