TIDEWATER MIDSTREAM AND INFRASTRUCTURE LTD. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS, OPERATIONAL UPDATE, AND 2026 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE UPDATE

Tidewater Turnaround Validates as Q1 EBITDA Surges Past Guidance

Executive Summary
  • Date: 2026-05-07 (Most Recent)
  • Event: Q1 2026 Results, Operational Update, 2026 Financial Guidance Update.
  • Financials: Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $49.7 million for Q1 2026, a reversal from -$3.7 million in Q1 2025. Net loss narrowed to $27.1 million from $31.8 million YoY. Distributable Cash Flow turned positive at $27.3 million (vs -$20.8 million).
  • Guidance: Full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to $190.0-$210.0 million (previously $150.0-$170.0 million). Tidewater Renewables segment guidance raised to $100.0-$110.0 million.
  • Operations: Prince George Refinery (PGR) throughput at 90% capacity; HDRD Complex utilization at 95%. Brazeau River Complex (BRC) secured new long-term gas handling agreements for up to 75 MMcf/d.
  • Debt/Capital: Net debt stable at $582.0 million. Credit facility maturity extended from Sept 2026 to Aug 2027.
Material Impact
  • Positive Deviation: The Q1 run-rate implies annualized EBITDA of nearly $200 million, exceeding the previous guidance midpoint ($160M) by a significant margin. This validates the turnaround thesis faster than anticipated in March 2026.
  • Cash Flow Inflection: The shift from negative Distributable Cash Flow (-$20.8M) to positive ($27.3M) is critical for debt servicing and reduces immediate dilution risk.
  • Operational Stability: High utilization rates (95% HDRD, 90% PGR) confirm that the operational issues cited in Q3/Q4 2025 (turnarounds/outages) are resolved.
  • Risk Mitigation: Extension of credit facility maturity to August 2027 removes near-term refinancing risk previously flagged for September 2026.
  • Limitations: The guidance raise is substantial but relies on sustained high crack spreads ($102/bbl in Q1) and renewable incentives (BPI/LCFS). If commodity prices revert, the $210M ceiling may be difficult to maintain.
