Strategic Acquisition: A Game-Changer

One of the key drivers of Tornado's strong performance is its strategic acquisition of CustomVac Services Ltd., completed on May 15, 2025, for $28 million. This acquisition adds a high-margin business with $9.58 million in trailing 12-month gross profit as of January 31, 2025. The move is expected to accelerate earnings accretion and solidify Tornado's position as a leader in specialized infrastructure equipment.

Future Outlook:

The company is optimistic about its future prospects, driven by several factors. These include:

• Infrastructure Spending: Continued spending on infrastructure projects across North America is expected to boost demand for Tornado's hydrovac trucks.
• CustomVac Integration: The integration of CustomVac is anticipated to bring expanded product offerings, cross-selling opportunities, and improved supply chain efficiency.
• New Product Lines: Tornado plans to introduce new and innovative products to support the infrastructure, telecommunications, and oil and gas industries.
• Operational Efficiency: The completion of a new production building at the Red Deer facility in Q2 2025 is expected to increase production capacity and operating efficiencies.
• Strategic Partnerships: The company has strengthened its dealer relationships in both Canada and the U.S., expanding its coverage for maintenance warranty and repair services.

Tornado's financial performance and strategic execution have positioned the company for dominance in the North American infrastructure equipment sector. With a strong start to the year and a clear future strategy, Tornado Infrastructure Equipment is well-equipped to continue its growth trajectory.
