Overview of Tidewater Midstream's Latest Financial Results
(TSX: TWM) - Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd. has revealed its consolidated interim financial statements and management insights reflecting the performance through the three and nine-month periods concluding September 30, 2025.
Key Financial Highlights for Q3 2025
Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:
- The company's consolidated net loss attributable to shareholders increased to $34.1 million in Q3 2025 from a loss of $7.3 million in Q3 2024. This rise was driven by reductions in refined product sales, decreasing emissions credit prices, and adverse changes in derivative contract values. However, these challenges were partly mitigated by decreased depreciation expenses and lower administrative costs.
- The adjusted EBITDA for the quarter stood at $16.2 million, down from $29.2 million a year prior, largely reflecting the same factors impacting the net loss.
- The Canadian government announced a forthcoming $370 million Biofuels Production Incentive, aimed at bolstering the stability of domestic biodiesel and renewable diesel production over the next few years.
- A significant transaction took place when Tidewater completed the acquisition of the northern segment of Pembina's Western Pipeline System for approximately $1.2 million, along with assuming future decommissioning obligations valued at around $30.0 million. This deal is set to enhance cost efficiency and optimize feedstock procurement at Tidewater's plants.

Furthermore, following a scheduled turnaround, the production facility experienced temporary operational disruptions but quickly resumed activities with average throughput levels stabilizing.
