Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Mix Shift: Total revenue decreased slightly by 1% ($1.7 million). However, the composition changed significantly:
  • High Specification Rigs: Revenue increased 10% to $87.5 million, driven by a 3% increase in average revenue per rig hour and higher total rig hours.
  • Wireline Services: Revenue plummeted 48% to $17.2 million due to a 64% drop in completion stage counts, reflecting lower industry activity and a strategic decision to pursue only work with appropriate margins.
  • Processing Solutions: Revenue grew 25% to $30.5 million, led by increases in rentals, coil tubing, and plug and abandonment services.
• Profitability Improvement: The company returned to profitability with a net income of $0.6 million, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million in Q1 2024. Operating income improved by $1.5 million.
• Cost Management: Total cost of services decreased 4% to $115.4 million. Wireline service costs dropped 38% in line with revenue, while High Specification Rigs costs rose 6% due to increased variable labor and maintenance expenses.
• Liquidity Position: Cash on hand increased significantly to $40.3 million from $11.1 million in the prior year. Total liquidity stands at $104.4 million, bolstered by $64.1 million in available credit capacity.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects typical Q1 seasonality and weather impacts to abate as temperatures rise. The company anticipates benefiting from E&P operator consolidation, as larger operators favor established service providers. However, crude prices below $60/barrel could trigger activity reductions.
• Capital Allocation:
  • Dividends: Quarterly dividend increased to $0.06 per share. A subsequent dividend of $0.06 was declared on April 29, 2025.
  • Share Repurchases: No open market repurchases were made in Q1 2025. $50.2 million remains available under the $85.0 million total authorization program.
• Risks and Contingencies:
  • Customer Concentration: Four customers accounted for approximately 64% of net accounts receivable and significant portions of segment revenue (e.g., 70% of High Spec Rigs revenue).
  • Market Volatility: Exposure to oil and natural gas price fluctuations, geopolitical events, and OPEC+ production levels.
  • Wireline Weakness: Continued weakness in completion activity and increased competition in the Wireline segment.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the sustainability of the 10% revenue growth in the High Specification Rigs segment against industry rig count data.
• Monitor the Wireline Services segment for signs of stabilization or further decline in stage counts and margins.
• Confirm the impact of the increased dividend ($0.06/share) on future cash flow and liquidity requirements.
• Review the borrowing base calculation for the Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility to ensure the $64.1 million availability remains stable given receivable concentrations.
• Assess the company's exposure to the top four customers, which represent a significant portion of receivables and revenue.
