Ironman International Reports Strong Operational Momentum and Strategic Expansion for 2026

Ironman International Ltd. has provided a comprehensive operational update highlighting significant momentum across its business segments and strategic initiatives for the 2026 fiscal year. The company's strategy rests on three foundational pillars: business fundamentals, growth, and strategic alignment of staff and suppliers to deliver customer value. The Directional Drilling segment exhibits seasonal patterns, with winter preparation activities including training and bidding, while the Telecom segment, Lite Access, provides stable year-round revenues primarily in the Greater Vancouver Area, leveraging remote project design capabilities from the Langley office.

The company's growth trajectory is underscored by the submission of more than 220 bids in December 2025 and January 2026, targeting projects across British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Alaska, and the Continental United States. This aggressive bidding strategy is supported by a highly competent workforce, equipment ownership, and an internal maintenance department, enabling agility and high-performance delivery across diverse project conditions. Historical financial performance, as reflected in the FY2024 audited statements and subsequent quarterly reports filed on https://www.sedarplus.ca, shows significant growth in Directional Drilling operations following expansion into Alaska.

Ironman has doubled its staff from the end of FY2024 to FY2025, reinvesting earnings into training, development, and capital assets to expand capabilities and enter new market segments. The company's integrated service model, which minimizes reliance on third parties, supports a diverse customer base and aggressive bidding. A key strategic development is the establishment of Ironman Pipe Inspection (Ironman PI), a new division offering comprehensive inspection services for critical pipeline systems. This initiative leverages the company's civil works background to support utility projects throughout North America and aims to prevent expensive delays through location services.

Corporate alignment initiatives include incentive stock options awarded to directors, officers, employees, and consultants, as announced in a November 28, 2025 news release, fostering a motivated workforce focused on delivering high-quality services and driving growth. The company is committed to achieving strong 2026 results through relentless execution, innovation, disciplined expansion, and alignment to build enduring shareholder value. A significant corporate milestone is the upgrade of the company's common shares to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol IMITF, effective February 18, 2026, enhancing market accessibility and visibility for investors.
