MONTREAL, May 14, 2026 /CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (TSX: ATRL), a world-class engineering services and nuclear company with offices around the world, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

AtkinsRéalis reports a good start to the year, delivering strong Q1 year-over-year increases in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted EPS. The Company continues to have a balance sheet with significant financial flexibility, driven by a strong cash position and a low debt level. The demand for the Company's services and nuclear products continues to be robust, resulting in a $20 billion backlog at quarter's end.

"Our focus on helping clients address long-term global energy security and aging infrastructure needs drove a strong first quarter, including double-digit percentage revenue growth in our Nuclear and Engineering Services businesses. Demand for our unique capabilities remains strong as we secured key wins to further strengthen our backlog and support our confidence in achieving our 2026 financial targets," said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of AtkinsRéalis. "With our unique and complementary combination of Nuclear and Engineering Services businesses and a strong balance sheet, we remain well positioned to continue creating shareholder value. Against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical uncertainty, including the growing importance of energy security and defence, we remain well positioned to support our clients with our differentiated expertise. I want to thank our 40,000 colleagues, whose commitment and integrity every day helped earn AtkinsRéalis recognition in March as one of the 2026 World's Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere."

First Quarter Financial Results

Net income attributable to AtkinsRéalis shareholders in the first quarter of 2026 increased to $92.8 million, compared to $69.1 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was mainly due to higher Segment Adjusted EBIT and lower net financial expenses, partially offset by a higher income tax expense.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Ratios, Supplementary Financial Measures, Total of Segments Measures and Non-Financial Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS^® Accounting Standards ("IFRS"). However, the following non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures, total of segments measures and non-financial information are used by the Company in this press release: Organic revenue growth (contraction), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to AtkinsRéalis shareholders, Adjusted diluted EPS, Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue ratio, Adjusted EBITDA to revenue ratio and Segment net revenue, as well as certain measures for various reportable segments that are grouped together, such as Revenue, Segment Adjusted EBIT and Backlog for the various Engineering Services Regions segments. Additional details for these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures, total of segments measures and non-financial information can be found below and in Sections 4 and 9 of the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") for the first quarter of 2026, which sections are incorporated by reference into this press release, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and on the Company's website at www.atkinsrealis.com under the "Investors" section.

Non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures, total of segments measures and non-financial information do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and other issuers may define these measures differently and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures prepared by other issuers. Such non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures, total of segments measures and non-financial information have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

However, management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures, total of segments measures and non-financial information provide additional insight into the Company's operating performance and financial position, and certain investors may use this information to evaluate the Company's performance from period to period. Reconciliations and calculations of non-IFRS measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures, total of segments measures and non-financial information to the most comparable IFRS measures and ratios are set forth below in the section "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release.

⁽¹⁾ Total of segments measure.

⁽²⁾ Non-IFRS financial measure or ratio or supplementary financial measure.

⁽³⁾ Organic revenue growth (contraction) ratio is a non-IFRS ratio comparing organic revenue (which excludes foreign exchange and acquisitions and disposals impacts), itself a non-IFRS financial measure, between two periods. See "Calculation of organic revenue growth (contraction)" in the section "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release for each non-IFRS financial measure used as a component of this non-IFRS ratio.

⁽⁴⁾ Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue ratio for Engineering Services Regions and Nuclear are non-IFRS ratios based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA and segment net revenue, both of which are non-IFRS financial measures. See "Calculation of Segment net revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue ratios for Engineering Services Regions and Nuclear" in the section "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release for each non-IFRS financial measure used as a component of these non-IFRS ratios.

⁽⁵⁾ Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-IFRS ratio based on adjusted net income (loss) attributable to AtkinsRéalis shareholders, itself a non-IFRS financial measure. See "Reconciliation of Adjusted net income attributable to AtkinsRéalis shareholders to IFRS net income attributable to AtkinsRéalis shareholders" in the section "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release for each non-IFRS financial measure used as a component of this non-IFRS ratio.

⁽⁶⁾ Adjusted EBITDA to revenue ratio is a non-IFRS ratio based on Adjusted EBITDA and revenue, of which the Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. See "Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to revenue ratio" in the section "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release for the non-IFRS financial measure used as a component of this non-IFRS ratio.
