MONTREAL, Aug. 6, 2026 /CNW/ — AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (TSX: ATRL), a world-class engineering services and nuclear company with offices around the world, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

AtkinsRéalis reports strong results, delivering year-over-year increases in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS in Q2. The Company continues to leverage its financial flexibility, strong cash position and low debt to advance its value-focused capital allocation strategy. Demand for the Company’s engineering services and nuclear products continues to be robust, resulting in a $20 billion backlog at quarter’s end.

“We executed another strong quarter, led by significant Nuclear growth, and consistent demand for our unique Engineering Services capabilities,” said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of AtkinsRéalis. “We also enhanced our Adjusted EBITDA margin and delivered positive operating cash flows, highlighting our ability to grow while operating more efficiently. Additionally, we continued to execute our value-focused capital allocation priorities, repurchasing $242 million of shares and advancing our Land and Expand strategy through the announced acquisitions of WGA, Coras Solutions and TOBIN. These additions strengthen our local presence and technical capabilities across Australia and Ireland. Looking ahead, momentum continues to build globally for the proprietary CANDU technology. Canada’s Nuclear Energy Strategy reinforces CANDU as a cornerstone of the country’s nuclear advantage, while our progress toward bringing CANDU technology to the U.S. marks another important step in expanding its role internationally. None of this progress would be possible without our 41,000 colleagues, whose hard work and dedication continue to move AtkinsRéalis forward as we engineer a better future for our planet and its people.”
