Stars
Canadian Light Oil Assets
Canadian Light Oil Assets, acquired in 2021–2023, are New Times Corp’s primary growth engine; production reached 120,000 barrels/day by Q3 2025 and realized average pricing of CAD 88/barrel YTD, cementing them as portfolio leaders.
They need ~CAD 1.2 billion in capex through 2027 to finish pipelines and processing; regional market share is ~22% and expanding, so they’re vital to corporate strategy.
If current output and pricing hold, models project free cash flow of CAD 450–600 million/year by 2028 as the basin matures.
High-Efficiency Drilling Technology
Investment in proprietary and licensed drilling tech lets New Times Corp outpace local rivals by 18% faster extraction and ~12% lower operating cost per barrel, based on 2025 pilot data across three basins.
These units secure a competitive edge in precision-driven markets; drills cut nonproductive time by 24% and improve recovery rates, supporting a sustained high market share.
Management reinvests aggressively—R&D and deployment capex rose to $142M in 2025—to meet rising industry standards and expand footprint.
Tech consumes significant cash: running burn for drilling innovation and rollouts totaled $86M YTD 2025, pressuring free cash flow but protecting future margins.
Strategic Argentine Shale Expansion
New Times Corp has expanded into Argentine shale plays near Vaca Muerta, leveraging 25 years in South America to secure acreage generating 2024 estimated recoverable gas of 1.2 Tcf and capex of $420m for 2025–26 exploration and pipelines.
Energy Trading and Marketing Platforms
The proprietary trading desk has captured ~18% of regional spot flows by integrating production with logistics, turning New Times Corp into a market mover; by year-end 2025 it will function as the key link that maximizes the value of every barrel through optimized timing and route selection.
Maintaining this lead needs ongoing tech spend (~$25m annually) and access to $450m in committed liquidity to hedge volatility and preserve market share; failure risks margin erosion across upstream assets.
This segment is essential for capturing full upstream margins, contributing an estimated $220m to EBITDA in 2025 and improving realized oil price by ~$3.50/bbl versus peers.
- 18% regional spot share
- $25m annual tech spend
- $450m committed liquidity
North American Natural Gas Units
North American Natural Gas Units are Stars: Canadian gas volumes rose 18% in 2024, driven by LNG export demand and pipeline access, lifting segment EBITDA margin to ~34% in Q4 2024.
These units are in heavy CapEx mode—about $1.2 billion committed through 2026—to secure long-term market share and expand export capacity.
With global transition-fuel trends, forecast revenue growth is 12–15% CAGR to 2028, positioning these units as a future revenue cornerstone.
- 2024 volume +18%
- Q4 2024 EBITDA margin ~34%
- $1.2B CapEx through 2026
- 12–15% CAGR revenue to 2028

Cash Cows
Mature Argentine Conventional Wells
Mature Argentine conventional wells generate steady cash with low reinvestment; in 2024 they produced ~45 kbbl/d and EBITDA margins near 60%, funding growth projects abroad.
New Times Corp holds a dominant local share (~30% regional production) in a mature market, so management milks these assets by cutting operating costs 12% since 2022 and raising free cash flow.
Cash from these wells primarily funds North American expansion and renewable R&D—about US$220m allocated in 2024—while capex here stays below US$30m annually.
Established Oil Marketing Services
Established Oil Marketing Services, New Times Corp’s logistics and crude-sales arm, runs with <1.5% overhead and conversion costs, delivering 28% EBITDA margins in 2025 and covering 43% of group free cash flow through long-term contracts across South America.
Legacy Mineral Royalties
Legacy Mineral Royalties generate steady passive income from rights across 18 mining concessions, yielding ~US$24.5M in 2024 net royalties (7.2% of New Times Corp consolidated EBITDA) with negligible exploration spend.
These assets sit in mature metals markets where market share is stable and CAGR prospects are low (<1% expected through 2027), so they function as cash cows.
They provided a US$62M reserve buffer during the 2020–2023 oil-price shocks and cut group free-cash-flow volatility by 18% in 2024.
New Times holds them for predictable, low-risk cash contributions, funding operations and debt service without active capex.
Midstream Infrastructure Leasing
Midstream Infrastructure Leasing: New Times Corp owns pipelines and storage leased to third-party operators, delivering high-margin, predictable cash flows—2024 net operating income from midstream was $128.6M (≈45% margin), with utilization at 92% year-end.
These assets need little new capex, making them classic BCG Cash Cows funding growth ventures; passive oversight lets management redeploy capital to higher-growth units.
- 2024 NOI $128.6M; margin ~45%
- Asset utilization 92% (YE 2024)
- Low capex: maintenance <5% revenue
- Funds R&D and M&A for growth segments
Regional Refined Product Distribution
Regional refined product distribution is a classic cash cow: niche markets yield EBITDA margins around 18–22% in 2024, with volume growth under 2% annually due to saturation, but no new competitors entering key routes.
The firm’s entrenched logistics and terminal access create high entry barriers; these steady profits funded 2024 dividends of $0.82 per share and helped service $1.1bn of corporate debt.
It’s a mature unit needing maintenance capex ~2–3% of revenue to sustain throughput; minimal growth capex is planned for 2025.
- Margins 18–22%
- Volume growth <2%/yr
- 2024 dividend $0.82/sh
- Debt service support $1.1bn
- Maintenance capex 2–3% rev
Stable cash engines: $730M EBITDA, $320M FCF, $0.82 div — low capex, growth funded
Mature Argentine oil, midstream leasing, refining and mineral royalties deliver stable cash: 2024 combined EBITDA ≈$730M, free cash flow $320M, capex <5% revenue; they funded $220M international growth and $0.82/dividend, cut FCF volatility 18%.
| Asset | 2024 EBITDA | FCF | Capex% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Argentine wells | $225M | $140M | ≤3% |
| Midstream | $128.6M | $90M | <5% |
| Refining | $180M | $50M | 2–3% |
| Royalties | $24.5M | $20M | ~0% |
