| Statement |
|---|
| Our 2023 capital program is proceeding as planned and as we have also experienced in the last quarter, is continuing to show exceptional and positive financial impact |
| However, when sales and AMS revenues are combined, they represent 12% of our total third quarter revenues, where we experienced 28% growth in sequential revenues and a positive gross margin of 8.5% |
| We had a very successful third quarter |
| We're both on our industry and our opportunities with our capital availability, long-term contracts at exceptional rates and good counterparties, we are in an enviable position to take advantage of the strong environment |
| Sequentially, total gross margins grew by 14% |
| Revenue per horsepower per month increased 13.5% over the last 12 months, demonstrating the impact of the growth in higher horsepower units and the price increases we have been able to implement over the last year |
| Sequential net income increased by over 4x, and EBITDA grew 19% to $11.8 million |
| So the market continues strong |
| In the comparative year-to-date 9-month periods, our rental revenues have increased 38%, while adjusted gross margins grew by 50% |
| Rental revenue increased to $27.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 from $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 for a 48.7% gain over the past year |
| We think it will be a good year also |
| So that's one of the advantages of the horsepower market just having such a long lived equipment |
| It's never smooth selling, but we think 2024 and into 2025 will continue to be a good environment for NGS |
| Sequentially, our total revenue increased over 16% with a year-over-year increase of 42% |
| So we see it as strong |
| Adjusted EBITDA increased 19% to $11.8 million in the second quarter of $9.9 million and increased 53% from $7.7 million for the same period last year |
| This isn't meant to be a loose statement, but NGS has a lot to offer from our service capabilities to superior equipment and run time to technology |
| I mean the whole gas compression rental industry is doing pretty well |
| This is a 12% increase in gross rental margin dollars since last quarter |
| Our average horsepower per unit has grown by 22% over the last year |
| These increases were led by rental revenues that grew by $3.6 million or 15% sequentially and $9.1 million or 49% when compared to last year's third quarter |
| So nothing extraordinary, but we do think we'll see a back on the trend we want with you all I don't want to state my makeup too far, but probably 200 or 300 basis point improvement in rental margins, I think, in Q4 |
| On a year-over-year basis, our operating income increased to $4.9 million compared to an almost $300,000 loss in the same third quarter period in 2022 |
| Sequentially, adjusted total gross margin increased 14% from $12.8 million last quarter |
| Sequentially, we reported increased operating income of $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $712,000 in the second quarter this year, almost 7x higher |
| These funds will be primarily dedicated to our 2024 growth capital plans and represent continuing confidence from our banks of the results we're achieving and our plan going forward |
| Total revenues increased year-over-year from $20 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, for a 42.3% increase |
| SG&A declined by over $2 million or 41% and adjusted operating income was up almost 7x to $4.9 million |
| Steve Taylor Well, I mean demand continues strong |
| But overall, the hydrocarbon economic environment seems to be favorable |
| Statement |
|---|
| Sales revenues for the sequential quarters decreased from $1.6 million in Q2 '23 to $1.4 million in the third quarter this year |
| On a year-over-year quarterly basis, sales revenues decreased from $3.1 million to $1.4 million |
| Our gross margin percentages slipped 150 basis points due to higher than usual parts costs, where we see that as irregularity and anticipate that these margins will recover in the fourth quarter |
| Unit utilization decreased slightly from 65.4% primarily due to lower utilization on our small to medium horsepower fleet and the impact from lower natural gas prices |
| Gross margins decreased was still held at 9% of revenue |
| As I've mentioned in the past, our sales activity, primarily representing compressor, flare, parts and miscellaneous sales have declined over the past few years due to higher customer demand for rental services, our increased outsourcing of large horsepower fabrication and our deemphasis of flare sales and service |
| In the year ago quarter, our net loss was $80,000 or $0.01 |
| You had a little margin compression this quarter |
| This was an anticipated and welcome decline in expenses and a 9% of revenue, which is uncharacteristically low |
| We are in an undersupplied gas compression market, and it appears that it will continue into next year |
| There are certainly countervailing wins, notably the recent weakness in crude price |
| This lower level of sales should continue due to the changes mentioned |
| We will avoid the once predicted 2023 recession |
| As you know, guidance is always a risky area, and I equate it to what can happen in a football game with a Ford Pass |
| It implies a slight, I think, quarter-over-quarter decrease in revenue and EBITDA, is that mainly maybe because service and maintenance, less service and maintenance revenue in 4Q or any other dynamics going on in the current quarter that could cause a quarter-over-quarter decline? Steve Taylor Yes |
| We think this represents a low point |
| It just had some high expenses in the quarter |
| You've got low margin because passengers typically are lower margins |
| There will continue to be volatility, albeit reduced |
| Some people even talking into 2025, and that's primarily just because equipment levers have stretched |
