Answer
The press release you quoted only provides the adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025), which was US $17 million. It does not include any figures for:
- Adjusted EBITDA in the prior quarter (Q1 2025)
- Consensus analyst forecasts for adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 (or for Q1 2025)
Because those reference points are absent from the announcement, we cannot calculate or comment on how the Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $17 million compares to either the previous quarter’s performance or the market’s consensus expectations.
What you would need to make that comparison
| Metric | Data required | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA – Q1 2025 | The company’s Q1 2025 earnings release (or a prior quarter’s filing) | Shows the quarter‑over‑quarter change (increase or decrease). |
| Consensus adjusted EBITDA forecast for Q2 2025 | Analyst estimates compiled by a data provider (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, FactSet) prior to the quarter’s results | Indicates whether the company beat, met, or missed market expectations. |
If you can locate the Q1 2025 adjusted EBITDA figure (or a press release covering that quarter) and the consensus forecast that analysts had published before the Q2 2025 results, you could then:
Calculate the quarter‑over‑quarter change:
[
\text{% change} = \frac{17\text{M} - \text{Q1 EBITDA}}{\text{Q1 EBITDA}} \times 100\%
]Assess performance versus expectations:
[
\text{Surprise} = 17\text{M} - \text{Consensus forecast}
]
A positive number means the company beat forecasts; a negative number means it fell short.
Bottom line: Based solely on the information in the August 6, 2025 release, we can only state that Taseko reported an adjusted EBITDA of $17 million for Q2 2025. Any comparison to the previous quarter or to consensus forecasts would require additional data that is not included in the excerpt you provided. If you can supply those missing figures, I’d be happy to run the comparison for you.
