“Our third quarter results are a clear demonstration that our renewed and focused strategy on mission-critical solutions is delivering,” said Patrick Houston, Calian CEO. “Revenue grew 20%, including 16% organic growth, underpinned primarily by strong and sustained demand for our space and defence offerings.

Third Quarter Results
Revenues increased 20%, from $192 million to $230 million. This represents a record high quarterly revenue for the Company. Acquisitive growth was 4% and was generated by the acquisitions of Advanced Medical Solutions completed in May 2025 and Infield Scientific closed in October 2025. Organic growth was 16% with contributions from both the Defence & Space and Essential Industries segments.
Gross profit increased 17% to $78 million, driven by revenue growth, changes in revenue mix and contributions from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 35% to $26 million, driven by the increased revenue leading to higher margins. As a result, adjusted EBITDA1 margin increased to 11.1%, up from 9.9% last year.
Net profit was $5.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $0.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share last year. The increase in profitability is primarily related to higher adjusted EBITDA1, partially offset by higher interest expenses and taxes. Adjusted net profit1 stood at $12.9 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, up from $9.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, last year.
“The momentum we’re seeing in our business is truly exciting. Year-to-date, we’ve grown revenue by 17%, with 11% of that coming from organic growth, a testament to the strength of our core operations. Perhaps most striking is that our adjusted EBITDA1 has already reached $76 million, nearly matching our full-year adjusted EBITDA1 from last year, and we still have runway ahead of us. We are on pace to deliver a record year, and I couldn’t be more proud of what this team has accomplished,” said Will Majic, Calian Acting CFO.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
“In the third quarter, we generated $18 million of operating free cash flow1, representing a conversion rate from adjusted EBITDA1 of 69%,” said Will Majic, Calian Acting CFO. “We used our cash on hand mainly to fund capital expenditures of $3 million and provide a return to shareholders through dividends of $3 million. We ended the quarter with a net debt to adjusted EBITDA1 ratio of 0.9x, providing us with flexibility to act decisively on near-term opportunities.”
