Notes 1 through 4 please refer to the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.

Total Energy’s results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 represent record quarterly financial results, driven by continued strong North American demand for natural gas compression and process equipment and the deployment of upgraded drilling and service rigs in Australia and Canada. Positively impacting 2026 second quarter financial results was a $3.0 million year over year increase in gain on sale of property, plant and equipment following completion of the disposition of assets related to the Company’s United States well servicing business that was discontinued in January 2026. Partially offsetting this gain were $2.3 million of non-recurring expenses in the U.S. contract drilling business related to rig reactivations and the resolution of several legacy legal disputes.

Second quarter CDS segment activity in 2026 was higher than the second quarter of 2025 in all jurisdictions. Reactivation of upgraded equipment at higher day rates in Australia and higher day rates received for upgraded Canadian equipment contributed to increased second quarter segment revenue and EBITDA. Negatively impacting 2026 second quarter segment EBITDA was $2.3 million of non-recurring expenses in the United States, including $1.3 million of rig reactivation costs for several rigs that had been idle for extended periods and $1.0 million related to the resolution of legal disputes from prior periods.

(1)See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.

Second quarter RTS segment revenue increased as compared to 2025 due to the acquisition of 280 pieces of major rental equipment in Oklahoma in June 2025 and increased drilling and production activity in Canada. Second quarter segment EBITDA decreased compared to 2025 given this segment’s relatively high fixed cost structure and competitive market conditions that did not allow for price increases sufficient to offset cost inflation.

(1)See Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release. (2)Rental equipment utilization is measured on a horsepower basis.

2026 second quarter CPS segment revenue was higher compared to 2025 due to increased North American fabrication sales and parts and service activity that was partially offset by lower compression rental fleet revenue in the United States following the sale of several active compression rental units in 2025. The year over year increase in second quarter segment EBITDA was due to increased fabrication and parts and service activity and improved fabrication margins although the decline in higher margin rental revenues resulted in a lower segment EBITDA margin compared to 2025. The quarter end fabrication sales backlog increased by 82% to $554.5 million compared to the $303.9 million backlog at June 30, 2025. Sequentially the quarter-end fabrication sales backlog increased by $107.6 million, or 24%, from the $446.9 million backlog at March 31, 2026.

(2)Service hours is defined as well servicing hours of service provided to customers and includes paid rig move and standby. (3)The Company reports its service rig utilization for its operational service rigs in North America based on service hours of 3,650 per rig per year to reflect standard 10 hour operations per day. Utilization for the Company’s service rigs in Australia is calculated based on service hours of 8,760 per rig per year to reflect standard 24 hour operations. “nm” – calculation not meaningful

Second quarter Well Servicing segment revenue increased in 2026 as compared to 2025 due to increased activity in Australia and Canada following the upgrade and reactivation of several service rigs over the past year. Increased revenue from Australian and Canadian operations was partially offset by lower WS segment revenue in the United States following the discontinuance of U.S. operations in January 2026. Segment EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was higher compared to 2025 due primarily to a substantial improvement in Australian financial performance and the cessation of operating losses in the United States.

Corporate

During the second quarter of 2026, Total Energy continued to execute on its $87.4 million 2026 capital expenditure program with $45.0 million of capital expenditures that were primarily directed towards the upgrade of drilling and service rigs in Australia and Canada, the construction of a new service rig for Australia and expansion of CPS segment fabrication capacity in the United States. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2026 totaled $65.8 million, which includes $17.2 million of the $24.5 million of capital commitments carried forward from 2025.

Total Energy exited the second quarter of 2026 with $81.9 million of positive working capital, including $50.5 million of cash. At June 30, 2026 there was $150.0 million of available credit under the Company’s $175.0 million of revolving bank credit facilities and the interest rate on the Company’s outstanding bank debt was 4.11%.

$16.0 million was returned to shareholders during the second quarter of 2026 by way of dividends and share repurchases. Bank debt was also reduced by $20.0 million during the quarter. Cash on hand exceeded bank debt by $25.5 million at June 30, 2026.

Outlook

While oil and gas producers continued to demonstrate capital discipline during the second quarter of 2026, upward pressure on global energy prices due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East translated into higher Canadian drilling activity throughout the quarter, with U.S. drilling activity beginning to increase late in the quarter. Relatively strong natural gas prices realized by Australian producers continued to support stable industry conditions in Australia.

North American demand for compression and process equipment remains very strong. The CPS segment’s record $554.5 million fabrication sales backlog at June 30, 2026 provides visibility for the CPS segment’s fabrication business into 2028 and current quoting activity remains vibrant. The U.S. facility expansion is on time and on budget, with completion scheduled by the first quarter of 2027.

In response to higher North American industry activity levels, Total Energy’s Board of Directors has approved an increase to the Company’s 2026 capital expenditure budget to $120.1 million. This $32.7 million increase includes $24.9 million of growth capital and $7.8 million of maintenance capital. Including $24.5 million of 2025 carryforward, 2026 capital expenditure commitments now total $144.6 million, of which $65.8 has been funded to June 30, 2026. The remaining $78.8 million will be funded by cash on hand and cash flow.

Included in growth capital is $15.5 million for the recertification and upgrade of three idle service rigs and one idle drilling rig in Canada and one idle drilling rig in Australia. The three Canadian service rigs and the Australian drilling rig are scheduled to be completed and commence operations by the end of 2026. The Canadian drilling rig was completed and commenced operations in late July. Also included in growth capital is $9.4 million for the acquisition of 42 new and refurbishment of two idle pieces of major rental equipment in the RTS segment for deployment throughout North America. Included in maintenance capital is the replacement of five heavy trucks and 32 pieces of major rental equipment in the RTS segment and additional equipment maintenance in Australia due to higher than budgeted activity levels.
