Source's Q3 Sand and Logistics Results
Sand revenue reached $143.8 million, a 43% increase, and well site solutions revenue was $43.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 32% to $26.9 million, a $6.6 million increase from the same period in 2025. Net loss narrowed to $3.8 million from $6.2 million.
The company said customer activity increased during the quarter, driven by planned completion activities in the back half of 2026. Source achieved 67% utilization across its eleven-unit Sahara fleet, with operating units in the United States at 100% utilization. Source also executed a contract to build and operate a twelfth Sahara unit in Alaska, with construction costs fully reimbursed by the customer.
Average sand revenue per metric tonne was $139.97, down from $150.77 a year earlier. Source attributed the decline to a 90% increase in domestic dry and wet sand sales and a higher proportion of lower-priced mine gate sales. The company said it incurred additional one-time costs from the rapid ramp-up at its Peace River operation and plans to debottleneck and optimize the facilities before next year's wash season.

According to akta.pro company records, Source recorded full-year 2025 sand sales of approximately 3.7 million metric tons and record revenue of CAD $700.3 million, a $26.4 million increase over 2024.
