How did revenue and net earnings compare to the same quarter last year and to the previous quarter?
Answer
The excerpt you provided from Petr ( TSX: PRQ ) – “Petrus Resources Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial & Operating Results” – does not contain the actual numeric figures for revenue or net earnings, nor does it give the comparative percentages or amounts that would show how those numbers changed relative to:
- The same quarter (Q2) in 2024 (i.e., “last year”), and
- The previous quarter (Q1 2025).
Because those specific data points (the actual revenue and net earnings numbers, and any year‑over‑year or quarter‑over‑quarter changes) are not included in the brief news summary you posted, we cannot directly answer the question about the comparative performance.
What you would normally look for in the full press release
If you have access to the complete press‑release or the company’s earnings release (often a PDF or a longer news story), you would typically find the required information in a table or narrative like:
| Period | Revenue | YoY (vs. Q2 2024) | QoQ (vs. Q1 2025) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $X million | +/‑ % or $ change | +/‑ % or $ change |
| Net earnings | $Y million (or loss) | +/‑ % or $ change | +/‑ % or $ change |
The year‑over‑year (YoY) column shows how the current quarter’s figure compares to the same quarter a year ago, while the quarter‑over‑quarter (QoQ) column shows the change versus the previous quarter.
What to do next
Locate the full earnings release (often posted on the company’s investor‑relations website, or on a financial news site that republished the release).
- It might be a PDF titled something like “Petrus Resources Ltd. – Q2 2025 Earnings Release.”
Identify the key figures: total revenue (or “Revenue”) and net earnings (or “Net Income / Net Loss”) for the three‑month period ended June 30 2025.
Compare:
- To the same quarter last year (Q2 2024) – the release typically provides “% change” or the actual numbers for Q2 2024, allowing you to compute the difference.
- To the previous quarter (Q1 2025) – the release often includes a “quarter‑over‑quarter” change or you can subtract the Q1 2025 numbers (which are usually also provided in the press release) from the Q2 2025 numbers.
If you obtain those numbers, you can then answer the question with specific percentages and dollar‑amount changes.
Bottom line: The brief news excerpt you supplied does not contain the revenue or net‑earnings figures, so a direct comparison cannot be made from the information provided. To answer the question you’ll need to retrieve the full press‑release or the detailed financial statements that accompany the Q2 2025 results.
