Stantec releases 19th annual Sustainability Report, highlighting 68% (C$5.5 billion) in sustainability-driven revenue

EDMONTON, Alberta and NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TSX, NYSE:STN

Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, released its 19th annual Sustainability Report, showcasing how sustainability is integrated into the Company’s strategy, growth, and operations. The report details Stantec’s sustainability practices, contributions, and accomplishments for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The firm’s 2025 sustainability milestones include:

  • C$5.5 billion in revenue from work that supports the United Nations’ core Sustainable Development Goals, representing 68 percent of total gross revenue. This reflects steady growth since the Company began tracking this work in 2019, when it represented 43 percent of total gross revenue.
  • Global operational carbon neutrality achieved for the fourth consecutive year, with continued progress toward net zero emissions under Canada’s Net Zero Challenge, an effort to help the country move toward a cleaner economy
  • Recognition by the Carbon Disclosure Project, earning an A- score for the eighth straight year for demonstrating consistent climate action

“The choices we make today shape communities, economies, and the environment of tomorrow,” said Gord Johnston, president and chief executive officer of Stantec. “This is why sustainability is embedded into everything we do—guiding how we live, move, work, and connect. By putting people first, we’re helping create a more resilient and sustainable environment where communities can thrive for generations to come.”

The report also brings Stantec’s impact to life through projects that demonstrate how sustainability translates into real-world outcomes:

  • Canada: Advancing cleaner, smarter manufacturing, Stantec supported Duravit’s new facility in Québec—one of the world’s first carbon-neutral manufacturing facilities in the hygienic ceramic industry. Stantec’s building engineering services enabled hydro-powered electric kilns, reducing emissions by nearly 9,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually.
  • United States: In the Klamath Basin of Oregon and California, one of the nation’s largest restoration efforts is revitalizing ecosystems and reconnecting communities. Working alongside Indigenous Nations and local partners, Stantec’s engineers and ecologists are restoring five fish-bearing tributaries, nearly 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) of stream channel, 2,200 acres (890 hectares) of native vegetation, and more than 400 miles (644 kilometers) of salmon habitat.
  • United Kingdom: Supporting the transition to cleaner, more reliable energy, the Vyrnwy Frankton Grid Connection in Mid-Wales enables new wind-generated electricity to reach the national grid. Stantec contributed early planning and design for the overhead line, substation, and underground cable infrastructure.
  • New Zealand: Following severe flooding and landslides that damaged over 311 miles (500 kilometers) of roads, Stantec partnered with the Marlborough District Council to shape a future access survey. The study engaged more than 1,500 participants through workshops, hui (gatherings), surveys, webinars, and community events—ensuring local voices informed long-term resilience planning.
  • Egypt: Protecting freshwater resources and expanding access to sanitation, Stantec supported the design of eight wastewater treatment plants around Lake Qarun in the Fayoum region. The project aims to increase access to safe sanitation from 33 percent to 70 percent during the first phase, benefiting approximately 700,000 people while safeguarding the lake’s ecosystem.

Atlantic Union Bankshares Reports First Quarter Financial Results

Atlantic Union Bankshares Reports First Quarter Financial Results

RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Atlantic Union”) (NYSE: AUB) reported net income available to common shareholders of $119.2 million and both basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.84, for the first quarter of 2026 and adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders(1) of $126.2 million and adjusted diluted operating earnings per common share(1) of $0.89 for the first quarter of 2026.

“Atlantic Union had a solid first quarter, reflecting disciplined execution and a successful conclusion of the Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. integration,” said John C. Asbury, president and chief executive officer of Atlantic Union. “Asset quality remains strong, our annualized first quarter loan growth rate improved year over year during a seasonally slow period and we continued to reduce higher costing brokered deposits. The underlying operating performance supports our continued confidence in achieving the financial metrics we established for the full year 2026 —namely, the targets for adjusted operating return on assets, return on tangible common equity, and efficiency ratio.

“Atlantic Union is a story of transformation from a Virginia community bank to the largest regional bank headquartered in the lower Mid-Atlantic, with operations in Virginia, Maryland, and a growing presence in North Carolina. Operating under the mantra of soundness, profitability, and growth – in that order of priority – Atlantic Union remains committed to generating sustainable, profitable growth and building long-term value for our shareholders.”

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the first quarter of 2026, net interest income was $312.4 million, a decrease of $17.8 million from $330.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Net interest income – fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”)(1) was $316.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $17.9 million from $334.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The decreases from the prior quarter in both net interest income and net interest income (FTE)(1) were driven primarily by a decrease in interest income on loans held for investment (“LHFI”), reflecting lower loan accretion income, the lower day count in the first quarter, as well as the impact of lower yields on variable-rate loans following the cumulative 75 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate between September and December in 2025. The decreases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense, primarily due to lower deposit costs, resulting from reduced brokered deposit balances and lower customer deposit rates due to reductions in the federal funds rate.

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s net interest margin decreased 10 basis points and net interest margin (FTE)(1) decreased 11 basis points from the prior quarter to 3.80% and 3.85%, respectively, due to a decline in earning asset yields, partially offset by lower cost of funds. Earning asset yields for the first quarter of 2026 decreased 20 basis points to 5.79% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting the lower loan yields driven by the Federal Reserve rate cuts and the impact of lower accretion income. Cost of funds decreased 9 basis points from the prior quarter to 1.94% for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the impact of lower deposit costs.

The Company’s net interest margin (FTE)(1) includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. Net accretion income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $13.0 million lower than the prior quarter, as the prior quarter included elevated accelerated loan accretion income primarily due to higher prepayment activity and this quarter included a measurement period adjustment related to the acquisition of Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. (the “Sandy Spring acquisition”), which reduced loan accretion income by $3.5 million. The impact of accretion and amortization for the periods presented are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

_________________________________  

(1) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments related to the fair values of certain loans associated with the Sandy Spring acquisition, which impacted the nonaccrual activity for the quarters ended September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2026.

(2) The increase in additions during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired from Sandy Spring.

Past Due Loans

At March 31, 2026, past due loans still accruing interest totaled $125.0 million or 0.45% of total LHFI, compared to $113.0 million or 0.41% of total LHFI at December 31, 2025, and $50.0 million or 0.27% of total LHFI at March 31, 2025. The increase in past due loans from the prior quarter was primarily within the multifamily real estate and commercial real estate (“CRE”) – owner occupied loan portfolios. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to loans acquired by the Company as a result of the Sandy Spring acquisition.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company made certain changes to its ACL methodology as part of the continued enhancement of its credit modeling practices, resulting in more dynamic and precise modeling that allows for more granularity in the monitoring of our credit losses. The ACL methodology changes were accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2026, the ACL was $321.9 million, an increase of $659 thousand from the prior quarter, comprised of an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) of $291.1 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments (“RUC”) of $30.8 million. At March 31, 2026, the ACL as a percentage of total LHFI remained relatively consistent at 1.15%, compared to 1.16% at December 31, 2025. The ALLL as a percentage of total LHFI decreased by 2 basis points, from 1.06% at December 31, 2025 to 1.04% at March 31, 2026. The RUC coverage ratio increased 1 basis point from December 31, 2025 to 0.11% at March 31, 2026, primarily driven by higher construction and land development unfunded commitments.

Net Charge-offs

Net charge-offs were $1.6 million or 0.02% of total average LHFI on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $916 thousand or 0.01% (annualized) for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $2.3 million or 0.05% (annualized) for the first quarter of 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.7 million, compared to $2.2 million in the prior quarter, and $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses decreased as compared to the prior year primarily due to higher uncertainty in the economic outlook in the prior year, as well as specific reserves recorded in the prior year on two impaired commercial and industrial loans.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income decreased $2.2 million to $54.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $57.0 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by a $4.4 million decrease in loan-related interest rate swap fees due to seasonally lower transaction volumes. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in other operating income, primarily due to an increase in capital markets income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense decreased $33.4 million to $209.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $243.2 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by a $29.6 million decrease in pre-tax merger-related costs and a $2.3 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets.

Adjusted operating noninterest expense(1), which excludes merger-related costs ($9.0 million in the first quarter 2026 and $38.6 million in the fourth quarter 2025) and amortization of intangible assets ($15.4 million in the first quarter 2026 and $17.7 million in the fourth quarter 2025) decreased $1.6 million to $185.3 million, compared to $186.9 million in the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million decrease in other expenses, primarily due to a decrease in non-credit-related losses on customer transactions, a $2.3 million decrease in professional services related to strategic projects that occurred in the prior quarter, and a $1.9 million decrease in technology and data processing expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, primarily due to seasonal increases in payroll taxes and 401(k) contribution expenses.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was 21.0%.

(1) All ratios at March 31, 2026 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9-C. All other periods are presented as filed.

(2) These are financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures see the “Alternative Performance Measures (non-GAAP)” section of the Key Financial Results.

The key drivers of the consolidated balance sheet changes for the periods presented are summarized below:

  • Total assets decreased from December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in investments and cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by increases in LHFI. Total assets increased from March 31, 2025 primarily driven by the Sandy Spring acquisition.

  • Goodwill increased from the prior year due to the Sandy Spring acquisition and reflects the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, inclusive of measurement period adjustments primarily related to loans, other assets, and other liabilities. The measurement period concluded and goodwill was finalized as of March 31, 2026.

  • LHFI and quarterly average LHFI both increased compared to December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The increase from the prior quarter is primarily due to an increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio. The increase from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the Sandy Spring acquisition, as well as organic loan growth.

  • Total investments decreased from December 31, 2025, primarily due to principal repayments and maturities of AFS securities. Total investments increased year over year due to the Sandy Spring acquisition.

  • Total deposits and quarterly average deposits decreased from the prior quarter due to a decline in brokered deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing customer deposits. Total deposits and quarterly average deposits at March 31, 2026 increased from the same period in the prior year due to the addition of the Sandy Spring acquired deposits.

  • Total borrowings decreased from December 31, 2025 and increased from March 31, 2025. The decrease in borrowings from the prior quarter was primarily due to higher short-term borrowings in the prior quarter that were repaid in the current quarter using proceeds from customer deposits, while the increase from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and additional borrowings in connection with the Sandy Spring acquisition.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In reporting the results as of and for the period ended March 31, 2026, we have provided supplemental performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which we use to prepare our financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. We use the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in our analysis of our performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of our ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of our results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in our underlying performance. For a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures and additional information about these non-GAAP financial measures, see “Alternative Performance Measures (non-GAAP)” in the tables within the section “Key Financial Results.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release and statements by our management may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that include, without limitation, statements made in Mr. Asbury’s quotations, statements regarding the acquisition of Sandy Spring, including expectations with regard to the benefits of the Sandy Spring acquisition; statements regarding our strategic expansion into North Carolina; statements regarding our future ability to recognize the benefits of certain tax assets; statements regarding our business, financial and operating results, including our deposit base and funding; the impact of changes in economic conditions, anticipated changes in the interest rate environment and the related impacts on our net interest margin, changes in economic, fiscal or trade policy and the potential impacts on our business, loan demand and economic conditions in our markets and nationally; management’s beliefs regarding our liquidity, capital resources, asset quality, CRE loan portfolio and our customer relationships; and statements that include other projections, predictions, expectations, or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions as of the time they are made, and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “view,” “opportunity,” “seek to,” “potential,” “continue,” “confidence,” or words of similar meaning or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and our management about future events. Although we believe that our expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our existing knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual future results, performance, or achievements of, or trends affecting, us will not differ materially from any projected future results, performance, achievements or trends expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual future results, performance, achievements or trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of or changes in:

  • market interest rates and their related impacts on macroeconomic conditions, customer and client behavior, our funding costs and our loan and securities portfolios;

  • economic conditions, including inflation and recessionary conditions and their related impacts on economic growth and customer and client behavior;

  • U.S. and global trade policies and tensions, including changes in, or the imposition of, tariffs and/or trade barriers and the economic impacts, volatility and uncertainty resulting therefrom, and geopolitical instability;

  • volatility in the financial services sector, including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions, along with actions taken by governmental agencies to address such turmoil, and the effects on the ability of depository institutions, including us, to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital;

  • legislative or regulatory changes and requirements, including changes in federal, state or local tax laws and changes impacting the rulemaking, supervision, examination and enforcement priorities of the federal banking agencies;

  • the sufficiency of liquidity and changes in our capital position;

  • general economic and financial market conditions, in the United States generally and particularly in the markets in which we operate and which our loans are concentrated, including the effects of declines in real estate values, an increase in unemployment levels, U.S. fiscal debt, budget, and tax matters, U.S. government shutdowns, and slowdowns in economic growth;

  • the impact of purchase accounting with respect to the Sandy Spring acquisition, or any change in the assumptions used regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to determine the fair value and credit marks;

  • the possibility that the anticipated benefits of our acquisition activity, including our acquisition of Sandy Spring, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the strength of the economy, competitive factors in the areas where we do business, or as a result of other unexpected factors or events;

  • potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from our acquisition of Sandy Spring;

  • our ability to identify, recruit and retain key employees;

  • monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve;

  • the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios and changes in these portfolios;

  • demand for loan products and financial services in our market areas;

  • our ability to manage our growth or implement our growth strategy;

  • the effectiveness of expense reduction plans;

  • the introduction of new lines of business or new products and services;

  • real estate values in our lending area;

  • changes in accounting principles, standards, rules, and interpretations, and the related impact on our financial statements;

  • an insufficient ACL or volatility in the ACL resulting from the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology, either alone or as that may be affected by changing economic conditions, credit concentrations, inflation, changing interest rates, or other factors;

  • concentrations of loans secured by real estate, particularly CRE;

  • the effectiveness of our credit processes and management of our credit risk;

  • our ability to compete in the market for financial services and increased competition from fintech companies;

  • technological risks and developments, and cyber threats, attacks, or events;

  • emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence that could give rise to legal or regulatory action or increase the risk of a cybersecurity attack or the probability that such an attack would be successful;

  • operational, technological, cultural, regulatory, legal, credit, and other risks associated with the exploration, consummation and integration of potential future acquisitions, whether involving stock or cash consideration;

  • the potential adverse effects of unusual and infrequently occurring events, such as weather-related disasters, terrorist acts, geopolitical conflicts or public health events (such as pandemics), and of governmental and societal responses thereto; these potential adverse effects may include, without limitation, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, the ability of our borrowers to satisfy their obligations to us, on the value of collateral securing loans, on the demand for our loans or our other products and services, on supply chains and methods used to distribute products and services, on incidents of cyberattack and fraud, on our liquidity or capital positions, on risks posed by reliance on third-party service providers, on other aspects of our business operations and on financial markets and economic growth;

  • performance by our counterparties or vendors;

  • deposit flows;

  • the availability of financing and the terms thereof;

  • the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities;

  • actual or potential claims, damages, and fines related to litigation or government actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences;

  • any event or development that would cause us to conclude that there was an impairment of any asset, including intangible assets, such as goodwill; and

  • other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Please also refer to such other factors as discussed throughout Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and related disclosures in other filings, which have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All risk factors and uncertainties described herein and therein should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and all the forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein and therein. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on the Company or our businesses or operations. Readers are cautioned not to rely too heavily on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not intend or assume any obligation to update, revise or clarify any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

  _________________________________

(1)

 

These are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes net interest income (FTE), total revenue (FTE), total adjusted revenue (FTE), which are used in computing net interest margin (FTE), efficiency ratio (FTE) and adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE), provide valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing the yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the FTE components.

(2)

 

These are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible assets and tangible common equity are used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible assets, tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses. The Company believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its ability to grow organically and through business combinations as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.

(3)

 

These are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that ROTCE is a meaningful supplement to GAAP financial measures and is useful to investors because it measures the performance of a business consistently across time without regard to whether components of the business were acquired or developed internally.

(4)

 

These are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating measures exclude, as applicable, merger-related costs, gain (loss) on sale of securities, and gain on sale of equity interest in CSP. The Company believes these non-GAAP adjusted measures provide investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s operations.

(5)

 

All ratios at March 31, 2026 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9 C. All other periods are presented as filed.

(6)

 

The adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE) excludes, as applicable, the amortization of intangible assets, merger-related costs, gain (loss) on sale of securities, and gain on sale of equity interest in CSP. This measure is similar to the measure used by the Company when analyzing corporate performance and is also similar to the measure used for incentive compensation. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s operations.

(7)

 

These are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating pre-tax pre-provision earnings (FTE) excludes, as applicable, the provision for credit losses, which can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period under the CECL methodology, income tax expense, merger-related costs, gain (loss) on sale of securities, and gain on sale of equity interest in CSP. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s operations.

Halliburton Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

Halliburton Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

  • Net income of $0.55 per diluted share.

  • Revenue of $5.4 billion and operating margin of 13%.

  • Cash flow from operations of $273 million and free cash flow1 of $123 million.

  • Approximately $100 million of share repurchases.

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today net income of $461 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2025 of $204 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, and adjusted net income2,excluding impairments and other charges, of $517 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Halliburton’s total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $5.4 billion, flat when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Operating income was $679 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to operating income of $431 million in the first quarter of 2025, and adjusted operating income3,excluding impairments and other charges, of $787 million in the first quarter of 2025.

“I am pleased with Halliburton’s performance this quarter,” commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.

“In North America, I see clear signs that we are in the early innings of a recovery.

“In international markets, our performance around the world outpaced disruptions from the Middle East conflict.

“I expect that our consistent focus on returns and capital discipline will drive long-term success for Halliburton and its shareholders,” concluded Miller.

Operating Segments

Completion and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.0 billion, a decrease of $104 million, or 3%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025, while operating income was $439 million, a decrease of $92 million, or 17%, when compared to first quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by lower stimulation activity in North America, and lower completion tool sales and decreased pressure pumping services in the Middle East. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher completion tool sales in the Western Hemisphere, and improved pressure pumping services in Africa.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.4 billion, an increase of $89 million, or 4%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025, while operating income was $351 million, flat when compared to the first quarter of 2025. These results were primarily driven by higher project management activity in Latin America and increased drilling-related services in Europe and the Western Hemisphere. Partially offsetting these increases were lower activity across multiple product service lines in the Middle East, lower wireline activity in the Eastern Hemisphere, and decreased fluid services in the Gulf of America.

In the first quarter of 2026, the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East affected both divisions, with an impact of approximately 2 to 3 cents of net income per diluted share.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.1 billion, a 4% decrease when compared to the first quarter of 2025. This decline was primarily driven by lower stimulation activity and decreased artificial lift activity in US Land, and lower stimulation activity and decreased fluid services in the Gulf of America. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased drilling-related services in US Land and higher completion tool sales in the region.

International

International revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.3 billion, an increase of 3% when compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Latin America revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.1 billion, an increase of 22% year over year. This increase was primarily driven by higher activity across multiple product service lines in Ecuador, the Caribbean, and Brazil, and improved stimulation activity in Mexico and Argentina. Partially offsetting these increases were lower project management activity and decreased drilling-related services in Mexico.

Europe/Africa revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $858 million, an increase of 11% year over year. This increase was primarily driven by increased drilling-related services and higher completion tool sales in Norway, and improved pressure pumping services in Angola. Partially offsetting these increases were lower completion tool sales in the Caspian Area and decreased drilling-related services in Namibia.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $1.3 billion, a decrease of 13% year over year. This decrease was primarily driven by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Saudi Arabia and decreased drilling-related services in Qatar. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher completion tool sales and improved fluid services in Asia.

Other Financial Items

During the first quarter of 2026, Halliburton:

  • Repurchased approximately $100 million of its common stock.

  • Paid dividends of $0.17 per share.

  • Spent $42 million on SAP S4 migration.

Selective Technology & Highlights

  • Halliburton launched the HyperSteer MX directional drill bit, an industry-first shankless matrix-body bit that improves durability and maximizes directional control. The bit delivers longer runs and fewer trips, resists erosion and abrasion, and performs reliably in high-flow, abrasive environments. HyperSteer MX directional drill bits utilize advanced matrix materials to resist erosion and abrasion, extend bit life in abrasive, high-flow environments, and improve efficiency and reliability during operations.

  • Halliburton and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore’s lead public sector research and development agency, announced the launch of the Next-Generation Energy Xccelerator Joint Lab. This initiative aims to accelerate the development and commercialization of advanced well completion technologies for the energy industry. The project is also supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board.

  • Halliburton launched the XTR CS injection system, a wireline-retrievable safety valve solution engineered for CO₂ injection in carbon capture, utilization, and storage wells. The system provides flexibility as a primary or contingency safety valve or as a deep-set reservoir fluid-flowback prevention device. Unlike traditional surface-controlled wireline valves, the XTR injection system’s non-elastomeric design helps minimize leak paths and eliminate reliance on hydraulic operation systems. This system remains at steady performance at any setting depth, to simplify operations and inventory management.

  • Halliburton launched the RangeStar™ Geothermal Well Spacing and Intercept Service, a part of the family of RangeStar™ magnetic ranging services, a next-generation solution that supports geothermal development through faster, more accurate, and fully integrated well placement. Designed for complex geothermal environments, the RangeStar Geothermal Well Spacing and Intercept Service delivers reliable performance that reduces uncertainty and simplifies operations. Rapid ranging determination reduces decision time from hours to minutes, supports detection distances up to 130 meters, and improves accuracy within formations and depths.

  • Halliburton, in collaboration with ExxonMobil Guyana, Sekal, and Noble, delivered a groundbreaking step forward in digital well construction to achieve the deepwater industry’s first fully automated geological well placement with complete rig automation in offshore Guyana. The project combined rig automation, automated subsurface interpretation and well placement, and real-time hydraulics to establish a new benchmark for well construction performance, reservoir contact, and execution efficiency.

(a)

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Halliburton recognized a pre-tax charge of $356 million as a result of severance costs, an impairment of assets held for sale, an impairment on real estate facilities, and other items, primarily related to legacy environmental remediation cost estimate increases. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, Halliburton recognized a pre-tax charge of $83 million as a result of an equity in earnings loss, an impairment of assets held for sale, severance costs, and other items.

(b)

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure which is calculated as: “Operating income” plus “Total impairments and other charges” for the respective periods. Management believes that operating income adjusted for impairments and other charges is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the company’s normal operating results. Management analyzes operating income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals. The adjustments remove the effect of these items.

(c)

We calculate operating margin by dividing operating income by revenue. We calculate adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, by dividing adjusted operating income by revenue. Management believes adjusted operating margin is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance.

Sow Good Announces Transformative Acquisition of the Nachu Graphite Project, Positioning the Company as a Critical Minerals and Battery Anode Developer

IRVING, Texas, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sow Good Inc. (Nasdaq: SOWG) (“Sow Good” or the “Company”), announces a transformative acquisition that will position the Company as a critical minerals and battery anode developer supplying high-purity natural flake graphite to the global lithium-ion battery supply chain, while continuing to produce the freeze-dried treats for which it is known. The Company has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Ryzon Materials Ltd (“Ryzon”) and the sellers named therein (the “Sellers”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Transaction”) of wholly owned Tanzanian subsidiaries of Ryzon (the “Targets”). Following closing, the Company intends to focus on advancing the acquired project toward construction and production, with its current consumer products operations managed as a separate business segment, and management of Sow Good (“Management”) believes the Transaction positions Sow Good as a burgeoning battery metals company with a platform for additional critical mineral acquisitions in the future.

The Targets are the sole holders of the Nachu Graphite Project, a world-class, advanced-stage graphite development asset located in the Ruangwa District, Lindi Region of Southern Tanzania (the “Tanzanian Project” or “Nachu Project”). The Nachu Project is reported to be one of the largest known high-purity natural flake graphite deposits globally, and is reported to benefit from a completed Bankable Feasibility Study (prepared under the JORC Code 2012, and not under S-K 1300), a binding offtake agreement with a U.S. Tier-1 EV and ESS manufacturer, a Special Economic Zone license, and a 15.5-year mine life.*

Unless otherwise stated, all technical and economic data relating to the Nachu Project contained in this press release has been derived from Ryzon’s publicly available disclosures and has not been independently verified by the Company. See “Important Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Estimates and Technical Disclosure” below.*

About the Tanzanian Project

The Nachu Project is an advanced-stage, open-pit graphite development project that is fully permitted and located approximately 20 km from the town of Ruangwa in the Lindi Region of Southern Tanzania, and approximately 220 km by road from the deep-water port of Mtwara. The project is at the advanced development stage, having completed a bankable feasibility study, secured all principal mining and environmental permits, and obtained a Special Economic Zone license, but has not commenced construction or production to date.*

The 2022 BFS Update prepared by Ausenco Services Pty Ltd and other consultants under the JORC Code 2012 (the “2022 BFS Update”) reports that the Nachu Project hosts a global mineral resource of 174 million tonnes at 5.4% total graphitic carbon (“TGC”) and an ore reserve of 76 million tonnes at 5.2% TGC. The project is designed to process 5 million tonnes per year of run-of-mine ore through a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit to produce approximately 236,000 tonnes per year of graphite concentrate at 98.5%–99.0% TGC purity — without chemical purification.*

In addition, Ryzon has disclosed that the Nachu Project benefits from a binding offtake agreement with a Tier-1 EV and ESS manufacturer for supply of natural graphite anode materials. The Company has not independently verified the terms or current status of this agreement. If this agreement remains in effect following closing, Management believes it would:

  • provide cornerstone revenue visibility and de-risk the Nachu Project’s commercial viability;
  • position Sow Good as a direct participant in the non-Chinese battery anode supply chain at a time of acute Western government and automaker focus on supply chain security;
  • support project financing discussions by demonstrating contracted demand from a globally recognized counterparty; and
  • provide a foundation from which to pursue additional offtake agreements with other battery manufacturers, cathode/anode producers, and trading houses.

Re-confirming and, if necessary, re-establishing the terms of the existing offtake agreement will be a priority for Management following closing of the Transaction.

The Nachu Project was originally developed by Magnis Energy Technologies Ltd (ASX: MNS), which subsequently changed its name to Magnis Resources Ltd and was later reorganized. The project and its Tanzanian subsidiaries were transferred to Ryzon Materials Ltd as part of an internal restructuring. The Company is aware that Magnis Energy Technologies received certain adverse media coverage during its ASX-listed tenure. The Company’s decision to proceed with the Transaction is based on its evaluation of the underlying asset, the technical work completed to date (subject to verification under S-K 1300), and the commercial arrangements in place, rather than the corporate history of prior holders.*

*See “Important Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Estimates and Technical Disclosure” and “Differences Between U.S. and International Standards for Mineral Disclosure” below. These estimates were prepared by Ryzon in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 and have not been prepared in accordance with S-K 1300. The Company has not independently verified these estimates and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them.

Transaction Highlights

  • The Transaction values the Tanzanian Project at an aggregate consideration of AUD$150,000,000 (approximately US$107 million based on the RBA AUD/USD exchange rate as of the date hereof), to be satisfied entirely by the issuance of Sow Good common shares (the “Consideration Shares”), less the amount of Ryzon’s net debt at completion. Based on the 10-Day VWAP and RBA AUD/USD exchange rate as at the date of this announcement, approximately 334,150,145 Consideration Shares (or 22,276,676 Consideration Shares after adjusting for the Company’s announced 15-to-1 reverse stock split) are issuable in aggregate.
  • The Consideration Shares have been determined as of the date of this announcement. The 10-Day VWAP of Sow Good common shares on Nasdaq for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of this announcement was US$0.3209, and the RBA AUD/USD exchange rate as of such date was 0.7149, resulting in 334,150,145 Consideration Shares (or 22,276,676 Consideration Shares after adjusting for the Company’s announced 15-to-1 reverse stock split) being issuable in aggregate to the Sellers, the Brokers and the Lenders (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement).
  • 33,415,014 Consideration Shares (or 2,227,667 Consideration Shares after adjusting for the Company’s announced 15-to-1 reverse stock split) (the “Escrow Shares”), equal to AUD$15,000,000 will be held back to support the indemnification obligations of the Sellers under the Share Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Shares will be issued pursuant to 222,767 contingent value rights (the “CRVs”), with each CRV providing for a total of 10 Escrow Shares delivered across two indemnification milestones occurring 12 and 18 months after the closing date of the Transaction.
  • The Consideration Shares will be subject to lock-up and dribble-out restrictions on resale pursuant to the terms of a stockholders agreement to be entered into between Sow Good and the Sellers at closing (the “Stockholders Agreement”).
  • The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including:
    • Approval of Sow Good’s stockholders as required under applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635;
    • Receipt of regulatory approvals in Tanzania, including approval from the Fair Competition Commission of Tanzania and any required approvals from the Mining Commission of Tanzania and the Tanzania Minerals Audit Agency;
    • No material adverse change having occurred with respect to Ryzon or the Tanzanian Project between signing and closing;
    • Execution and delivery of all closing deliverables, including the Stockholders Agreement, certain subscription agreements, and a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company will register the Consideration Shares for resale; and
    • Other customary closing conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement.

There is no assurance that all conditions to closing will be satisfied or waived or that the Transaction will be completed on the terms described herein or at all.

Industry Context: The Critical Role of Natural Graphite in the Battery Supply Chain

Natural graphite is the single largest input material by mass in a lithium-ion battery cell, comprising up to 25%–30% of total cell weight in the form of spherical graphite used in the anode. The anode is the largest component of a lithium-ion battery by mass, and high-purity, large-flake natural graphite is often the preferred feedstock for spherical graphite production due to its superior electrochemical performance, lower cost, and lower carbon footprint relative to synthetic graphite alternatives.

The global graphite supply chain is heavily concentrated in China, which currently controls approximately 70% of global natural flake graphite mine production and more than 95% of global spherical and coated graphite anode processing capacity. This concentration has become a significant concern for Western governments and automakers. The United States Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), its Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) provisions, and the European Union Critical Raw Materials Act (EU CRMA) are each designed to incentivize the development of non-Chinese sources of critical battery minerals, including natural graphite. These regulatory frameworks are creating structural demand for graphite sourced and processed outside of Chinese-controlled supply chains.

The Nachu Project is positioned to supply high-purity natural flake graphite concentrate directly into this emerging ex-China supply chain. Management believes that, if the project is successfully developed, Nachu would be among a limited number of non-Chinese sources of battery-grade natural graphite at scale globally.*

Strategic Rationale for the Transaction

The Transaction represents a compelling strategic opportunity for Sow Good to transform into a critical minerals and battery anode company through the acquisition of a well-studied, advanced-stage development asset in Tanzania. Based on Ryzon’s publicly available disclosures (which have not been independently verified by the Company and are not adopted or endorsed by the Company), Management believes the attractive project economics at a leading deposit of a critical mineral with special economic zone benefits, all coupled with the ability to fulfill a portion of the growing Western-aligned graphite and anode materials supply chain, make this acquisition strategically compelling.

Following closing, Sow Good’s primary focus will be advancing the Nachu Project toward an investment decision and construction. The Company intends to pursue project-level financing, including senior secured debt, export credit agency facilities, and strategic partner co-investment, supported by the Nachu Project’s contracted offtake and tax benefits The Company’s existing consumer products operations will continue to be managed as a separate business segment. Management believes that the Nachu acquisition, combined with access to U.S. capital markets, creates a compelling platform for building a leading Western-aligned battery metals company.

Management Commentary

Sam Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer of Sow Good, commented: “Today marks the beginning of Sow Good’s transformation into a critical minerals and battery anode company. The Nachu Project is, in our view, one of the premier undeveloped graphite assets in the world, with a completed Bankable Feasibility Study that reports very attractive NPV and IRR, a reported binding offtake with a Tier-1 EV manufacturer, and a 10-year Special Economic Zone tax exemption, and we are acquiring it for approximately US$107 million in Sow Good shares. While these figures are based on Ryzon’s JORC-compliant studies and have not yet been independently verified under S-K 1300, the implied value differential is significant. The global battery supply chain is at an inflection point: Western governments and automakers are actively seeking non-Chinese sources of battery-grade graphite, and we believe Nachu is uniquely positioned to meet that demand. This is not a diversification — it is a strategic repositioning, and we intend to use our Nasdaq platform to build a leading battery metals company. We look forward to working with Frank Poullas and the Ryzon team to advance Nachu toward construction and first production.”

Frank Poullas, representing Ryzon, added: “Nachu is a technically exceptional asset — 174 million tonnes of mineral resource at 5.4% TGC under the JORC Code 2012, delivering 98.5%–99% purity concentrate through flotation alone, without chemical purification. That combination of scale and purity is extremely rare globally. After more than a decade of development work — completing a Bankable Feasibility Study, securing a binding offtake with a Tier-1 EV manufacturer, obtaining the only Special Economic Zone licence for graphite in Tanzania, and establishing an EPCM pathway — we believe the missing piece was access to deep, liquid capital markets and the credibility that comes with a U.S. listing. A Nasdaq listing opens the door to U.S. and European institutional investors, strategic partnerships with Western automakers, and alignment with the Inflation Reduction Act’s critical mineral sourcing requirements. Ryzon’s shareholders will maintain significant exposure to the project’s upside through their ownership in the combined company, and we are confident this transaction unlocks the full potential of what we have built.”

Important Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Estimates and Technical Disclosure

This press release contains references to mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, economic analyses, and other technical information prepared by Ryzon in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code 2012”). The JORC Code 2012 is an internationally recognized reporting code but differs in certain material respects from the requirements of Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), the disclosure standard applicable to Sow Good as an SEC registrant.

The mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, economic metrics (including NPV, IRR, and capital and operating cost estimates), production profiles, and other technical data referenced in this press release have been derived from the 2022 BFS Update and other publicly available disclosures prepared by Ryzon. These estimates constitute historical estimates within the meaning of S-K 1300 and have not been verified by a qualified person (as defined under S-K 1300) retained by Sow Good. Accordingly, these estimates should not be relied upon as if they had been prepared in compliance with S-K 1300.

Key differences between the JORC Code 2012 and S-K 1300 include, but are not limited to: (i) different definitions and classification criteria for mineral resources and mineral reserves; (ii) different requirements for the preparation and content of technical report summaries; (iii) different commodity pricing methodologies for economic analyses; (iv) the JORC Code 2012 permits the inclusion of inferred mineral resources in economic analyses under certain conditions, whereas S-K 1300 requires additional cautionary language and sensitivity analysis excluding inferred resources; and (v) S-K 1300 requires that all technical disclosure be based on and accurately reflect information prepared by a qualified person.

Readers are cautioned that: (a) mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability; (b) there is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted to mineral reserves; (c) the economic analysis contained in the 2022 BFS Update may include inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves; and (d) the estimates and economic metrics presented herein may differ materially from the estimates that will be required to be included in Sow Good’s SEC filings following closing of the Transaction.

Following closing, Sow Good intends to commission a technical report summary for the Nachu Project in compliance with S-K 1300, to be prepared by an independent qualified person, and to file such report with the SEC as required. Until such time, investors should not place undue reliance on the historical estimates and technical information referenced herein.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company does not adopt, endorse, or make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate, economic analysis, production profile, offtake arrangement, or other technical or commercial information prepared or reported by Ryzon or its consultants. All such information referenced in this press release has been derived from publicly available disclosures by Ryzon and is provided solely for the purpose of giving investors context regarding the Transaction and the asset being acquired. Investors should not place undue reliance on Ryzon’s historical estimates or other technical data in making investment decisions regarding Sow Good’s securities.

U.S. Securities Law

The Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction have not been under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Sow Good.

In connection with the Transaction, Sow Good intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Information Statement”), in preliminary and definitive form, and other required documents regarding the Transaction with the SEC.

Differences Between U.S. and International Standards for Mineral Disclosure

As an SEC registrant, Sow Good is required to report mineral resource and mineral reserve information in compliance with Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), the SEC’s mining disclosure standard. S-K 1300 establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. The terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in accordance with S-K 1300. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves.
The Tanzanian Project’s existing technical disclosure has been prepared by Ryzon in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, as required for Australian-listed companies. Accordingly, public disclosure related to the Tanzanian Project prepared by Ryzon may differ from the estimates of resources and reserves that will be required to be filed by Sow Good with the SEC following closing of the Transaction. Sow Good intends to update the technical disclosure for the Tanzanian Project to comply with S-K 1300 requirements as promptly as practicable.
