Mullen Group (TSE:MTL) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results

Mullen Group (TSE:MTL) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported C$0.52 earnings per share for the quarter, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of C$653.17 million for the quarter. Mullen Group had a return on equity of 9.35% and a net margin of 4.65%.

Here are the key takeaways from Mullen Group’s conference call:

• Q3 operating performance was among the company’s best ever, supported by its diversified business model, productivity gains, and stronger activity in mining-related projects.
• Mullen Group ended September with CAD 214 million of cash and CAD 381 million of working capital, providing substantial flexibility for capital expenditures and acquisitions.
• The company announced the acquisition of Willson International, a 100-year-old logistics business expected to contribute roughly CAD 80–85 million of revenue and complement its existing international logistics operations.
• Management sees significant upside from LNG, pipeline, mining, data-center, and other major infrastructure projects, but emphasized that approvals and purchase orders remain uncertain; projects would likely require a six- to 12-month ramp once awarded.
• Mullen expects about CAD 10 million of near-term cash-tax savings from new capital-investment deductions, while noting the benefit is primarily a one-time timing advantage that reduces deductions in later years.
