Shawcor Sells its Lake Superior Consulting Business

Shawcor Ltd. (“Shawcor” or the “Company”) (TSX: SCL) announced that it has sold its Lake Superior Consulting (“LSC”) operating unit to a private investment group, including members of LSC management, in a transaction generating approximately C$8 million in gross proceeds. The LSC business, reported within the Company’s Pipeline and Pipe Services (“PPS”) segment, offers engineering, consulting and field inspection services to the US onshore pipeline and broader energy infrastructure markets. It generated revenue of approximately C$59 million with neutral adjusted EBITDA during the full year of 2021 and generated revenue of approximately C$26 million with an adjusted EBITDA loss of C$1 million during the first half of 2022. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce the Company’s existing indebtedness.

“This sale further demonstrates Shawcor’s strategic ongoing commitment to create an optimized business portfolio, prioritizing the development and delivery of differentiated, high value solutions in support of industrial and critical infrastructure end markets,” said Mike Reeves, President and CEO of Shawcor. “I would like to express my gratitude to the employees of LSC for their many contributions to Shawcor and wish them great success under their new ownership.”

With the completion of this transaction, the Company’s PPS reporting segment now consists of two operating units: the Pipeline Performance Group business, which provides pipeline coating solutions; and the Integrity Management business, which provides non-destructive testing solutions to the US onshore and global offshore markets.
