Material Changes
The sale of Aquawolf represents a significant reduction in the Company's Infrastructure segment. This transaction follows prior divestitures of infrastructure services subsidiaries (T&D Transaction) and hydraulic fracturing equipment (Pressure Pumping Transaction). Combined with the cessation of trucking and equipment manufacturing services, these actions constitute a strategic shift classified as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements for periods ending June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025.
