Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 29 | Q3 2025 earnings | Negative | -6.1% | Large non-cash impairment and trade headwinds drove a major quarterly loss. |
| Jul 29 | Q2 2025 earnings | Negative | -3.6% | Revenue decline, net loss and tariff costs weighed on quarterly results. |
| Apr 29 | Q1 2025 earnings | Neutral | +0.9% | Modest loss amid tariff uncertainty, with progress toward first EAF steel. |
| Mar 12 | FY/Q4 2024 results | Neutral | +7.2% | Q4 loss but improving metrics and strong liquidity alongside EAF progress. |
| Nov 06 | Fiscal Q2 2025 | Negative | +6.4% | Revenue decline and swing to loss despite positive Adjusted EBITDA and EAF progress. |
Earnings releases have often produced negative reactions when losses or tariff impacts dominated, with occasional strong upside when EAF progress and liquidity were in focus.
Over the past five earnings cycles, Algoma has repeatedly highlighted tariff headwinds, shipment pressure, and its transition to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking. Results have ranged from modest revenue declines with net losses to periods of large non‑cash impairment. At the same time, the company has consistently emphasized its EAF project, targeting 3.7M tons of raw steel capacity and about 70% emissions reduction, plus government-backed liquidity support. Today’s full-year and Q4 2025 report continues these themes, with deeper losses but confirmation of the completed blast furnace wind-down and full EAF transition.
Historical Comparison
In the past five earnings releases, ASTL’s average move was about 0.96%. Today’s roughly 0.7% gain sits close to that typical reaction range.
Earnings releases trace Algoma’s shift from blast furnace to EAF steelmaking, with recurring tariff pressure, growing EAF capacity toward 3.7M tons, and emphasis on liquidity support.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is up +5.4% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with periods when investors focused on EAF milestones and liquidity rather than near-term losses. Past earnings moves around 0.96% suggest that any jump well above this range might reflect short-term positioning or sentiment. With shares about 40% below the 52-week high and trading under the $4.79 200-day MA, investors have previously reassessed gains when tariff or cost pressures resurfaced.

Electric Arc Furnace
Since achieving first arc and first steel production in early July, commissioning and ramp-up activities for Algoma's EAF project have continued to progress in-line with expectations. The operational furnace and associated melt shop assets are performing as designed, with quality metrics achieved across a broad range of plate and hot-rolled coil product grades. The Q-One power system and other critical process components have demonstrated stable and reliable performance, supporting consistent metallurgical quality and process control.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company transitioned EAF operations to a full 24-hour-per-day schedule, a significant step forward from the limited operating cadence maintained in the prior period. This acceleration coincided with the Company's decision to wind down its blast furnace and coke oven operations ahead of the originally planned 2027 timeline, with production through that route ceasing shortly after December 31, 2025. All liquid steel produced is now coming from the EAF facility. To align its product strategy with the realities of the current Canadian market, Algoma intends to focus on the manufacturing and sale of discrete plate and will scale back coil production as the EAF ramps up.
Following completion of the EAF transformation, Algoma's facility is expected to have an annual raw steel production capacity of approximately 3.7 million tons, matching its downstream finishing capacity, and is projected to reduce annual carbon emissions by approximately

In response to the prolonged trade disruptions, Algoma's Board of Directors approved a plan to accelerate the decommissioning of the Company's blast furnace and coke oven operations, with production through that route ceasing shortly after December 31, 2025. The Company is now focused on discrete plate production, where it holds a unique market position as Canada's sole producer, while strategically scaling back coil production to align with domestic demand. This strategic pivot is expected to substantially reduce tariff exposure, lower operating costs, and enhance overall cash efficiency as the EAF ramps up.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking information” under applicable Canadian securities legislation and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”), including statements regarding imposed and threatened tariffs, including the impact, timing and resolution thereof, trends in the pricing of steel, Algoma’s transition to EAF steelmaking, including the progress, costs and timing of completion of the Company’s EAF project, , the Company’s expected annual raw steel production capacity and reduction in carbon emissions following completion of the EAF project, Algoma’s future as a leading producer of green steel, the potential impacts of inflationary pressures, the Company’s ability to preserve and strengthen near-term liquidity and financial flexibility, the potential value and benefits of the strategic relationship with Hanwha Ocean, including the Company’s ability to enter into definitive documentation with respect to the strategic relationship on the terms described or at all, labor availability, global supply chain disruptions on costs, Algoma’s modernization of its plate mill facilities, transformation journey, ability to deliver greater and long-term value, ability to offer North America a secure steel supply and a sustainable future, and investment in its people, and processes, and statements regarding potential borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities, and the Company’s strategy, plans or future financial or operating performance. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “hope,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “design,” “pipeline,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document. Readers should also consider the other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” in Algoma’s Annual Information Form, filed by Algoma with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities (available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com) and with the SEC, as part of Algoma’s Annual Report on Form 40-F (available at www.sec.gov), as well as in Algoma’s current reports with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Algoma assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), we use certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of Algoma. These terms do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within IFRS Accounting Standards and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS Accounting Standards measures by providing a further understanding of our financial performance from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS Accounting Standards.
Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, refers to net income (loss) before amortization of property, plant, equipment and amortization of intangible assets, finance costs, interest on pension and other post-employment benefit obligations, income taxes, foreign exchange loss (gain), finance income, carbon tax, changes in fair value of IPO and LETL Warrants, earnout and share-based compensation liabilities and derivative, share-based compensation related to the Company’s Omnibus Long Term Incentive Plan, certain inventory adjustments, impairment loss, legal settlement, severance costs and stranded inventory. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue for the corresponding period. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations, as defined by IFRS Accounting Standards, and should not be considered as alternatives to net profit (loss) from operations, or any other measure of performance prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define and use it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as defined and used by other companies. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful measure to assess our operating performance in addition to IFRS Accounting Standards. It is included because we believe it can be useful in measuring our operating performance and our ability to expand our business and provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results across different time periods and to the operating results of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by analysts and our lenders as a measure of our financial performance. In addition, we consider Adjusted EBITDA margin to be a useful measure of our operating performance and profitability across different time periods that enhance the comparability of our results. However, these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as alternatives to, net income, cash flow from operations or other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Because of these limitations, such measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in business growth or to reduce indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our IFRS Accounting Standards results using such measures only as supplements to such results. See the financial tables below for a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.
