| As our customers continue to consolidate, this leads to larger more reliable D&C programs, which should help stabilize the market |
| We're also really excited about the pump down rings on our plugs, especially considering water concerns out in the Delaware, every barrel that you can save is huge |
| Waqar Syed Ann certainly, a very impressive international growth, 16% year-over-year |
| And I noticed that the gross margin for a product was very impressive, I think 25% in the quarter, if I calculate it correctly |
| We're pretty thrilled about this product and really excited to see what it's going to do this year |
| So very excited about that |
| And again, Middle East has been a very exciting region for us |
| I am extremely proud of our completion tool offering and what we have been able to accomplish this year with both our existing tools and the introduction of new tools in the domestic and international markets |
| Our service and geographic diversity provides us a good balance and we remain focused on diversifying more of our top line revenue streams to cementing and completion tools, especially within the international markets |
| Our dissolvable plugs continue to perform well and we increased our total number of dissolvable Stinger units sold by approximately 18% in 2023 over 2022 |
| But when -- how quickly can you flex up and down? Let's say that there is -- what I'm reading at least from what I'm seeing is could be a good recovery and growth in the rig count, hopefully, this spring, early summer |
| So that's pretty exciting for us, and it seems that, that rounds out the year-end could be pretty strong |
| During 2023, our multi-cycle barrier valve performed very well in the Middle East and we anticipate demand will continue to increase our market share and customer base in that region |
| Our team has been together for a long time, and given our experience through cycles, we are confident we can navigate market changes and quickly capitalize on improving markets |
| We're extremely excited about this product |
| So we're extremely excited about that 16% year-over-year growth |
| Our long-term outlook remains positive for North America and the potential upside for activity levels |
| Now the incremental margins, EBITDA margins in Q4 were very, very strong |
| Despite the market, we continue to differentiate with forward leaning technology coupled with excellent service |
| But very encouraging to see our customers respond to the market in a very, I would say, moderated way and clearly very focused on returning cash to those investors |
| Additionally, we saw a significant increase in our international tool sales, almost doubling international revenue in Q4 versus Q3 |
| We have maintained a leading market share in the U.S |
| Our service lines did a good job of defending and justifying price in 2023 |
| I think that's a terrific innovation that will catch fire, that's great |
| I would say that many operators are experiencing a ton of operational efficiencies right now, which is really helping them inside of these commodity price environments |
| Operationally, we performed well and continued to be on the forefront of technology |
| We will continue to focus on our strategy of being an asset and labor-light business that couples excellent service and forward-leaning technology to help our customers lower their cost to complete |
| So we're pretty excited about that |
| We also announced the commercialization of our new Pincer hybrid frac plug, the Pincer is comprised of 47% less material than our predecessor Scorpion fully composite frac plug and offers industry-leading drill out times |
| Despite significant exposure in the Haynesville Basin, our coil team increased total revenue by approximately 3% year-over-year and our wireline team also increased revenue by approximately 9% |

| So as you say, August was very difficult for us, and we had a lot of operational inefficiencies there due to all the white space |
| So your December quarter EBITDA loss and EPS loss, and that's my exact estimates published just the sales mix was a bit more weighted towards product revenues than expected |
| Net loss was $10.3 million or negative $0.30 per diluted share and negative $0.30 per basic share |
| Coiled tubing revenue for the quarter was $27.7 million, a decrease of approximately 1% |
| Net loss was $32.2 million or negative $0.97 per diluted share and negative $0.97 per basic share |
| Wireline revenue for the quarter was $28 million, a decrease of approximately 1% |
| And by the end of 2023, the rig count was down to 622, a decline of approximately 20% |
| The average blended revenue per job decreased by approximately 10% |
| Most of these rig declines came out of the natural gas regions in conjunction with the average natural gas price declining by over 60% year-over-year and was compounded by a lower average WTI price, which declined by approximately 18% year-over-year from approximately $95 in 2022 to approximately $78 in 2023 |
| Waqar Syed So this mid-teens type growth rate, is that kind of sustainable or in 2024 and beyond? Ann Fox We're cautious about forecasting that for the market because, again, as you know, we're a small cap company and entering into these big plays |
| The average blended revenue per stage decreased by approximately 2% |
| During the fourth quarter, our coiled tubing days worked decreased by approximately 5%, with the average blended day rate increasing by approximately 5% |
| The oil and gas market continued to be volatile in 2023 |
| These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations |
| you're not -- clearly, you're not seeing something that's a catalyst for a frenzy amongst private at the moment |
| However, as you say, these things are very volatile, and we've seen shifts -- six months shift pretty readily and handy in these markets over the past few years |
| It can be significant for us, but it can also be lumpy and very unpredictable |
| Activity levels and pricing were mostly stable quarter-over-quarter, but as anticipated, we did not have a recurrence of the operational inefficiencies in elevated white space that occurred in August |
| Our total CapEx spend for 2023 was approximately $22.3 million, which came in below management's original guidance of $25 million to $35 million |
| I mean, a year ago, I have been asking like the downturn to flex on the contingency stuff |
