Margin Compression in the CDS Segment
Despite the overall revenue increase, Total S.A. ADS experienced a decline in gross margin to 22%, down 157 basis points from Q2 2025. This drop was largely attributed to the CDS segment, which typically has lower margins. The segment's revenue contribution increased to 29% of total revenue, up from 28% a year earlier, but resulted in a 4% year-over-year decline in segment EBITDA due to high fixed costs and increased operational expenses.
“The CDS segment saw a 39% increase in EBITDA, driven by higher utilization and pricing,” noted Daniel Halleck, CEO of Total S.A. ADS. “However, we must navigate the challenges associated with a competitive market.”
Strong Backlog Supports Future Growth
The company's fabrication sales backlog reached a record $554.5 million, an 82% increase from $303.9 million a year earlier. This substantial backlog provides visibility into future revenue streams, with management indicating that current contracts extend into 2028. With ongoing investments in expanding U.S. fabrication capacity, including the Weirton facility expected to be completed by Q1 2027, Total S.A. ADS is poised for continued growth.
Shareholder Returns Highlight Financial Strength

The company ended Q2 2026 with $81.9 million in positive working capital and $50.5 million in cash on hand, which exceeded bank debt by $25.5 million.
