The dramatic move came as investors reacted positively to improving profitability metrics, stronger cash generation, and a significantly narrower annual net loss, despite continued pressure on revenue.

The company’s net loss narrowed to C$19.9 million, compared with a loss of C$29.6 million in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA rose 15% to C$55.1 million from C$47.7 million, reflecting continued operational improvements. Excluding the impact of the Credas divestiture, adjusted EBITDA increased 18%.
Operating cash flow also strengthened during the quarter, rising to C$65.2 million from C$56.8 million a year ago.
For the full fiscal year, Dye & Durham generated revenue of C$410.7 million, a decline of 7% from fiscal 2025 revenue of C$440.7 million. Excluding the impact of the Credas sale, revenue decreased 6%.
The company reported a full-year net loss of C$38.5 million, a substantial improvement from the C$88.0 million loss recorded in fiscal 2025. Annual operating cash flow increased to C$153.4 million, compared with C$148.2 million in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 totaled C$198.8 million, down 15% from C$232.8 million in fiscal 2025.
Investors also appeared encouraged by the company’s balance-sheet update. Dye & Durham said it remained in compliance with the financial maintenance covenants under its senior credit agreement at June 30, 2026. The company had C$28.5 million drawn on its revolving credit facility, while its consolidated first lien net leverage ratio stood at approximately 5.17 times.
The company also addressed accounting adjustments related to its third quarter of fiscal 2026. Management disclosed that certain stock-based compensation and finance-cost items were incorrectly recorded and subsequently adjusted in the fourth quarter.
According to Dye & Durham, the corrections reduced Q3 net loss by C$32.5 million, including a C$29.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a C$2.6 million reduction in finance costs. The company emphasized that the adjustments were technical in nature and did not affect revenue, adjusted EBITDA, operating cash flow, liquidity, or the overall financial health of the business.
“Our fourth quarter results demonstrate the progress we are making in reshaping Dye & Durham.” Todd Schulte, the company’s interim CEO said in a news release. “Excluding the impact of the Credas disposal, revenue returned to growth, and we saw significant improvements in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, on a period-over-period basis, and the Company generated strong cash flows from operating activities in the quarter. Fiscal 2026 marked the start of a significant transition for Dye & Durham, and our full-year results reflect that. The transition is ongoing: we exited the year with a more focused business, and we have begun bringing our regional operations together under a single, global operating model that will allow us to serve customers more consistently and operate more efficiently. With this, through increased automation, including AI, and further consolidation, we expect to see cost reductions continue. We intend to build on this momentum as the transition continues through fiscal 2027.”
The company acknowledged that the accounting review identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, and said remediation measures are underway.
Dye & Durham will discuss the results during a conference call hosted by senior management on September 30, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Dye & Durham’s sharp rally suggests investors focused on the company’s improving profitability, stronger cash generation, covenant compliance, and significantly reduced losses, outweighing concerns surrounding revenue declines and the disclosed internal-control weakness.
Dye & Durham stock (TSX:DND) last traded at C$1.16 and though it was up 48% in September, it has lost more than 70% since the year began.
