ADF Group (TSX:DRX), a North American steel engineering specialist, signed a five-year contract with a repeat client in Quebec’s energy sector expected to be worth just shy of C$400 million.

This content has been prepared in collaboration with ADF Group Inc., and is intended for informational purposes only.

ADF will deliver steel structures for the client’s new infrastructure project, with work expected to kick off over the next few months at its plant in Terrebonne, Quebec, following new investments in equipment and personnel to meet contract demand.

According to Wednesday’s news release, the contract will earn ADF C$35-C$40 million per year and includes an option to extend for another five years.

ADF’s order backlog reached C$330.4 million as of April 30, 2025, excluding the contract reported here, which management sees as a strong conduit towards higher revenue and profitability in the second half of fiscal 2026, bolstered by the company’s contained exposure to US tariffs. This would follow 1.96x revenue growth and 8.26x net income growth over the past five years, reaching C$339.63 million and C$56.79 million in fiscal 2025, respectively.
