What was the impact of foreign exchange rates on the reported Canadian‑dollar figures?

Impact of foreign‑exchange rates on the reported Canadian‑dollar figures:

The press release explicitly states that “financial figures are expressed in Canadian dollars” and does not provide any separate conversion or FX‑adjusted numbers. Consequently, the reported revenue, profit and other metrics are presented as‑reported in CAD without any direct adjustment for changes in the U.S.‑to‑Canadian exchange rate. In other words, the headline figures themselves are not altered by currency fluctuations; any impact of currency movements is already baked into the Canadian‑dollar results as a net effect rather than a disclosed adjustment.

Trading implications:

Because the numbers are already in CAD, the primary driver of any variance between Q2 2025 and Q2 2024 will be the underlying operating performance, not FX translation. Nevertheless, for analysts and traders, it remains important to monitor the USD/CAD rate because a sizable portion of NACG’s contracts and material costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. A stronger CAD (lower USD/CAD) would effectively boost future Canadian‑dollar earnings when U.S.‑dollar revenues are converted, whereas a weaker CAD would erode them. Consequently, traders should keep an eye on USD/CAD trends: if the CAD continues to appreciate, the company’s reported Canadian‑dollar earnings could be lower than the underlying U.S.‑dollar cash flow would suggest, and the stock may be pressured despite solid operational metrics. Conversely, a weakening CAD could provide a “currency tail‑wind” that enhances reported results.

Actionable insight:

Given the neutral FX treatment in the filing, focus on the firm’s operating trends (e.g., contract backlog, margin trends) as the primary driver of price moves. However, overlay a short‑term view of USD/CAD: a rising CAD could be a bearish catalyst for the stock, while a weakening CAD may add a modest upside bias. Consider positioning in NACG relative to broader sector sentiment, but hedge or monitor USD/CAD exposure if you have a sizable position, especially as the company’s next earnings release will again be reported in CAD without explicit FX adjustments.
