CALGARY, Alberta, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gibson Energy Inc. (TSX:GEI) ("Gibson" or the "Company") announced today its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Key Highlights:
|
“Gibson delivered a strong second quarter, highlighted by record Infrastructure adjusted EBITDA,” said Curtis Philippon, President & Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we closed the Chauvin acquisition and sanctioned the Hardisty Connection Project – important milestones in advancing our long-term Infrastructure growth strategy. Our results reflect the strength of both our Infrastructure and Marketing segments and our team's disciplined execution. Recent progress on market access and pipeline developments has created a more constructive environment for Canadian energy infrastructure. Gibson is uniquely situated to support our customers as these opportunities develop, reinforcing our confidence in our long-term growth strategy and our ability to continue creating long-term shareholder value.”
Financial Highlights:
- Infrastructure adjusted EBITDA(1) of $169 million in the second quarter, a $17 million increase from the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher throughput at the Gateway and Edmonton terminals, as well as the Chauvin Infrastructure Assets, along with benefits from the Company’s restructuring efforts
- Marketing adjusted EBITDA(1) of $15 million in the second quarter, an $8 million increase from the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by improved margins resulting from higher crack spreads and the diversification in product mix positively impacting Refined Products
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) on a consolidated basis of $169 million in the second quarter, a $22 million increase from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the factors impacting segment adjusted EBITDA as noted above and the impact of removing unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments recorded in both periods
- Net income of $83 million in the second quarter, a $22 million increase from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the factors affecting segment adjusted EBITDA as noted above and lower income tax expense, partially offset by higher general and administrative costs, acquisition and integration costs from the Chauvin Infrastructure Assets, and unrealized gains and losses in relation to corporate financial instruments
- Distributable Cash Flow(1) of $96 million in the second quarter, a $15 million increase from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the factors contributing to higher adjusted EBITDA as noted above, partially offset by higher finance costs and higher current income tax expense
- Dividend payout ratio(2) of 88% and net debt to adjusted EBITDA(2) ratio of 4.2x on a trailing twelve-month basis; each of which are expected to remain temporarily elevated until a full 12 months of contribution from the Chauvin acquisition is reflected
Strategic Developments and Highlights:
- In July, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per common share, payable on October 16, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 29, 2026
- In July, Morningstar DBRS and S&P reaffirmed Gibson’s Investment Grade credit ratings of BBB(low), Stable Outlook and BBB-, Stable Outlook, respectively, reinforcing the strength of the Company’s financial position
- In July, Gibson refinanced amounts drawn under its revolving credit facility with $400 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes due January 9, 2034, further strengthening its financial flexibility
- In June, the Company amended and extended its revolving credit facility, extending the maturity to June 2031
- In May, Gibson closed the previously announced acquisition of the Chauvin Infrastructure Assets and concurrently sanctioned the Hardisty Connection growth project
