Key Points

Positve
  • Atco Ltd (ACLLF) achieved adjusted earnings of $91 million in Q3 2024, marking a 12% increase from the previous year.
  • The Canadian utilities segment showed strong performance, driven by an increase in the allowable ROE from 8.5% in 2023 to 9.28% in 2024.
  • Non-regulated assets contributed to growth, particularly through increased demand and strong seasonal spreads in natural gas storage.
  • Atco Structures delivered its ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year adjusted earnings growth, with a notable increase in global space rental activity.
  • The acquisition of NRB Modular Solutions is expected to enhance Atco Structures' manufacturing capabilities and support long-term growth strategy.
Negative
  • Adjusted earnings for Structures and Logistics were modestly lower compared to last year due to a provision for bad debt at Atco Frontec.
  • The reset in utilities' allowable ROE to 8.97% for 2025 is expected to moderate earnings growth in the utilities segment next year.
  • There is a noted downward trend in global workforce housing and fleet performance, attributed to the conclusion of a long-term contract.
  • The Frontec business faced headwinds, impacting its earnings contribution and raising questions about its future growth potential.
  • The company's growth strategy may require balancing between organic growth and potential inorganic opportunities, which could introduce additional risks.
