Press Release

COMPANY: BIRD CONSTRUCTION INC.
LISTING: TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE
CITY: MISSISSAUGA
SYMBOL: BDT
DATE: November 12, 2025

SUBJECT: BIRD BIRD REPORTS 2025 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS; RECORD $10 BILLION COMBINED BACKLOG AND PENDING BACKLOGANNOUNCES 2025

“Sustained demand in Bird’s key strategic sectors, along with the Company’s proven track record in delivering complex institutional, industrial and infrastructure projects, helped drive Bird’s combined Backlog and Pending Backlog to over $10.0 billion at September 30, 2025. Continuing to reflect favourable margins to a year ago, the combination of Backlog and Pending Backlog give Bird line of sight into future revenue growth and margin accretion and further conviction in achieving our 2027 strategic targets.” stated Teri McKibbon, President and CEO of Bird Construction. “Bird’s extensive self-perform capabilities, bolstered by strategic acquisitions such as the recently completed acquisition of Fraser River Pile & Dredge, have positioned the Company to pursue and win work related to nation-building infrastructure initiatives, as well as planned investments in defence, healthcare, nuclear and data centres.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Demand in Bird’s key sectors remained robust in the third quarter, with securements of over $1.3 billion in additional contracted work increasing the Company’s Backlog to over $5.0 billion for the first time in the Company’s history. In addition, significant collaborative awards and extensions of recurring maintenance programs grew the Company’s Pending Backlog by over $1.2 billion in the quarter to over $5.0 billion. Economic uncertainty continued to impact third quarter revenue, which grew modestly by 5.8% compared to last year, due to the previously disclosed delays in the self-perform Industrial work program and delays in the start of certain contracted projects in the quarter. The Company’s balance sheet is healthy and maintains the flexibility to strategically pursue attractive acquisitions in the current active M&A environment, such as the recent acquisition of Fraser River Pile & Dredge, Canada’s largest marine infrastructure, land foundation and dredging company. The addition of marine construction to the Company’s already comprehensive self-perform capabilities and experience in delivering complex infrastructure, industrial and institutional projects expands the Company’s opportunities to participate in upcoming nation building initiatives and infrastructure investments.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Bird’s revenue grew 5.8% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, with organic growth representing over 60% of the growth. The growth was achieved despite the impacts of previously disclosed delays in the self-perform Industrial work program resulting from ongoing economic uncertainty.
  • The Company’s Backlog of contracted work grew to $5.0 billion at quarter end, benefiting from over $1.3 billion in securements in the third quarter, including new awards and conversions of Pending Backlog. Year-to-date securements exceeded $3.8 billion, higher than both securements and revenue for full-year 2024. Bird’s Pending Backlog of work awarded but not yet contracted was $5.0 billion at quarter-end and continues to include over $700 million of master service agreement (“MSA”) and other recurring revenue to be earned over the next five years.
  • Bird generated $69.8 million in operating cash flow before investments in non-cash working capital in the third quarter. Seasonal investments in non-cash working capital, driven by the ramp up of the Company’s work programs and increasing self-perform work, are expected to unwind over the fourth quarter 2025 as experienced in prior years.
  • The Company’s liquidity position remains strong at September 30, 2025, with $113.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, and an additional $281.7 million available under the Company’s Syndicated Credit Facility, to support ongoing investments in non-cash working capital, project-driven capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions to further diversify service offerings and self-perform capabilities.
  • On September 3, 2025, Bird announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Fraser River Pile & Dredge (“FRPD”) for estimated aggregate consideration of $82.3 million. FRPD is Canada’s oldest and largest privately-owned marine construction, land foundation and dredging company with substantial self-perform capabilities. Founded in 1911, FRPD has an experienced workforce of over 300 salaried, hourly and craft personnel, a versatile marine and land construction equipment fleet, and a specialized construction skillset that is well suited to Canada’s growing demand for infrastructure, including nation-building projects. The transaction, which was subject to regulatory approval and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, successfully closed on October 10, 2025.
  • During the third quarter of 2025, the Company announced that it was selected by Infrastructure Ontario as the Preferred Proponent to design and build the Peel Memorial Hospital Phase 2 Redevelopment project in Ontario using a collaborative contracting model with a target price. The overall timeline and project value will be determined through a development phase which commenced in October 2025.
  • Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company became aware of circumstances that arose after the end of the quarter that led it to be concerned about the creditworthiness of a customer. The Company has substantially completed its sole project for this customer and no further material costs are expected to be incurred. At the end of the third quarter, accounts receivable and contract assets related to the customer amounted to $32.8 million and $29.4 million, respectively, and the Company is in active discussions with the client to determine to what extent, if any, an impairment of these amounts may be required in the fourth quarter of 2025. Please refer to the risk Potential for Non-Payment in the Risks Relating to the Business section of the Company’s Management’s Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024, dated March 12, 2025.
  • The Board has declared eligible dividends of $0.07 per common share for each of November 2025, December 2025, January 2026 and February 2026.
