Highlights from the call

In the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Source Energy Services Ltd. (SHLE:CA) reported its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The meeting did not disclose specific revenue or earnings figures, and there were no changes to guidance provided. However, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditor was confirmed, which may indicate a focus on maintaining strong governance and oversight moving forward.

Main topics

  • Appointment of Auditors: The shareholders approved the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the auditor for the current year. This decision reflects the company's commitment to maintaining high standards of financial reporting and governance.
  • Election of Directors: The meeting confirmed the election of four directors, including Chris Johnson and Scott Melbourn. This stable leadership may provide continuity as the company navigates future challenges.
  • Virtual Meeting Format: The virtual format of the meeting allowed for broader participation from shareholders, ensuring that all voices could be heard. This approach may enhance shareholder engagement and transparency.
  • Shareholder Participation: The meeting encouraged shareholder questions, although none were submitted. This lack of engagement may indicate satisfaction with current management or a lack of pressing concerns among shareholders.

Key metrics mentioned

  • Revenue:
  • Earnings:
  • Number of Directors: 4 (fixed at 4 directors, as proposed)
  • Auditor Appointment: Ernst & Young LLP (appointed as auditor for the current year)

The meeting reinforced the company's commitment to governance through the appointment of a reputable auditor and the election of a stable board. However, the lack of financial disclosures may raise concerns among investors about transparency. Future catalysts to watch include any forthcoming financial reports and management's strategic initiatives.

Thank you, Paul. I'd like to welcome everyone to the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Source Energy Services Limited. My name is Chris Johnson. I'm the Chair of the Board of Directors. In accordance with Source's bylaws, I will preside as Chair of the meeting, Ms. Natalie Toviska will act as Secretary of the meeting. Today's meeting is being held as a completely virtual meeting, which is being conducted via live audio webcast. This format will provide all shareholders regardless of geographic location an equal opportunity to participate at the meeting and engage with directors of Source and management as well as other shareholders. Registered shareholders received a control number on their proxy form and shareholders who have validly appointed their own proxy holder to vote at this virtual meeting by following the proxy appointment process were given a control number by Odyssey Trust Company, Source's transfer agent. These control numbers will act as your login credentials for this meeting for voting purposes. The procedure for voting will be discussed shortly. All others attending as guests are able to listen but are not able to submit questions or vote at this meeting. Today's meeting of shareholders is being held to consider a vote only for those specific matters set forth in the management information circular previously mailed to the company's shareholders of record as of March 24, 2026. I now call the formal part of the meeting to order. In order to expedite the meeting, I've asked certain shareholders to make certain motions at appropriate times. This is not intended to preclude shareholders' discussion, but only to assist the progress of the meeting. I welcome questions or comments from shareholders at any time. I appoint Paul Bedard, a representative of Odyssey Trust Company to act as scrutineer of the meeting. I've received a declaration as to the distribution of the notice of the meeting, together with the management information circular and proxy form to all registered shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of the meeting. This declaration will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. I have received the report of the scrutineer, which indicates that we have a quorum for the meeting. I hereby adopt the report of the scrutineer and declare that there is a quorum of shareholders present at the meeting. Based on the scrutineers' report and quorum being present, I declare that this meeting is duly constituted for transaction of business. I'll direct that the scrutineers' report on the attendance be annexed to the meeting -- the minutes of the meeting. We will conduct the votes on matters considered at the meeting by online ballot. As explained earlier, registered shareholders received a control number on their proxy form and shareholders who have validly appointed their own proxy holder vote at this meeting rather than by voting in advance of this meeting by proxy by following the proxy appointment process, were required to obtain a control number prior to the meeting from Odyssey Trust Company. These control numbers are required in order to vote at this meeting. If you did not receive a control number, you will not be able to vote at this meeting. You are only able to attend as a guest. Voting is open and will close when indicated by me at the end of the formal part of the meeting. Participants will see the resolutions we will be voting on today, together with the voting options. Please cast your votes promptly. The polls are made open until the polls are closed. During this time, you can vote your shares. If you've previously voted and are voting the same shares today, your previous votes will be null and void. While the resolutions are brought forward, we will open up the meeting for discussion on the resolutions, which will be done by way of submitting online questions to the Chair of the meeting. Participants can ask questions at a time during the meeting by selecting the chat bubble at the top of your screen, typing your question and submitting it. Please note that all questions are moderated before going to the Chair in order to eliminate repeated questions and to ensure a normal meeting protocol for appropriateness as applied. As your question may be similar in nature to that of another participant, please be aware that all questions -- not all questions will be presented to the meeting in a more generic format. If you intend to submit a question, you're invited to do so now. Any questions that are unrelated to the motion before the meeting are out of order and will not be addressed by the Chair. We'll now proceed with the first item of business and present the annual financial statements of Source for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the auditor's report thereon. Shareholders do not need to take action regarding the financial statements, and we'll move on to the next item of business. The next item is to fix the number of directors of Source to be elected at the meeting. I ask Scott Melbourn for a motion that the number of directors to be elected at the meeting be fixed at 4.
