Atlas Engineered Products’ fourth-quarter revenue rose to C$17.6 million, and full-year revenue rose to C$62.6 million, but gross profit fell in both periods as selling prices and margins stayed under pressure in a competitive market, Atlas Engineered Products reported.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter was C$3.6 million, little changed from a year earlier, as higher cost of sales and price competition offset higher revenue. The quarterly net loss narrowed to C$0.7 million from C$0.8 million, with acquisition-related costs and expenses tied to its automation project weighing on results. Normalized EBITDA rose to C$2.4 million from C$2.2 million, with higher volume partly offset by lower selling prices as the company pursued market share.

For 2025, gross profit fell to C$12.2 million from C$13.5 million as cost pressures and competitive pricing reduced margins despite higher revenue. The annual net loss widened to C$0.4 million from C$0.2 million, reflecting acquisition-related expenses and costs linked to the automation facility that were not capitalized. Normalized EBITDA declined to C$7.4 million from C$8.5 million as pricing pressure offset revenue gains.

The company tied regional demand conditions to affordability, describing market conditions as more difficult in Ontario and British Columbia and stronger in the Prairies and the Maritimes. It also cited high home prices, political factors, and tariff-related announcements as factors affecting those weaker regions.

In its 2026 outlook, the company said it is nearing completion of its first truss robotic facility in Clinton, Ontario, with equipment shipped and the site expected to be operational at the beginning of July 2026, after a two-to-three-week delay tied to shipping disruptions it linked to the war in Iran. It also reported quoting activity remaining high since early 2025, with first-quarter 2026 quotes exceeding C$80 million and orders totaling more than C$21 million, up from more than C$11 million a year earlier, while winter conditions reduced shipments across much of Canada during the quarter.

The company said it is targeting more organic growth in wall panel manufacturing and broader package offerings alongside roof and floor trusses and engineered wood products, and it said it continues to assess acquisition opportunities as industry conditions normalize from the period of high lumber prices and demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.
