| Statement |
|---|
| We attribute this significant year-over-year progress to the unique abilities and proficiency of our team coupled with over 400 combined years of expertise as a leader in combustion and burner management technology |
| We are on track to record the best full year top line revenue performance in company history |
| The legacy business continues to benefit from consistent CapEx spend from E&P operators in response to steady and robust oil and natural gas prices |
| We are excited about the traction and growth we are seeing as well as the future opportunities we have in this space |
| We are excited about the traction we are gaining in this space |
| We are on track to record the highest annual revenue in our company’s history |
| We believe our strong performance over the past 12 months has put us in a great position to drive further strategic growth in 2024 and beyond |
| Our business continues to benefit from the overall demand for hydrocarbons |
| In Q3, we were able to achieve our strongest diversification results year-to-date as approximately 16% of our total top line revenue was achieved through diversified industries, including critical energy infrastructure, biogas and landfill, wastewater and construction and infrastructure |
| OpEx forecast is more bullish, anticipating daily demand to increase by more than 2.2 million barrels |
| And then you’re talking about really good energy demand environment and sort of seeing that continue |
| North American producers are in the best position to supply these products in a clean, safe and reliable manner to improve environmental conditions worldwide |
| Profire stands to benefit greatly from these ongoing multiyear CapEx investments |
| And so all those things are really good for Profire |
| But kind of looking at all the things above, but overall, as kind of Ryan mentioned, that gas, that feedstock that we are going to need for the future for energy North America has the best opportunity to fill those needs, and we are positioned well without a lot of expansion to capitalize on it |
| is very well positioned to be able to supply that and even to supply a large portion of what the world is going to need |
| Our strong financial position allows for additional investments and acquisition opportunities going forward, as more focus is placed on efficiency and environmental initiatives |
| The 16% year-over-year increase was primarily driven by ongoing customer demand pricing initiatives supply chain improvements and continued progress across our strategic diversification efforts |
| Although considered part of our legacy business, we continue to gain momentum and traction with natural gas utilities across North America as they focus on improving automation, increasing efficiency, reliability and safety of legacy and new assets |
| We are pleased to report our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue in excess of $12 million and our best 9-month revenue, net income and EBITDA performance in our 21-year company history |
| But like I said, we are seeing sizable improvements in that 2200 supply chain environment, and we are looking forward to through Q1 and even throughout 2024 of being able to transition more customers over to that and decrease the quantities of the 2100 that are being produced |
| This quarter’s performance was driven through a combination of the ongoing strength of our core legacy business as well as solid results from our diversification efforts |
| Overall, we remain very optimistic about Profire’s medium- and long-term prospects |
| With expectations for the demand of useful energy predicted to increase by 50% between 2023 and 2050, we reaffirm that North American produced hydrocarbons have the potential to be the cleanest, most reliable and affordable means to meet this growth |
| But year-over-year, we continue to see good prospects for profile, good strength for Profire |
| As a whole, this has enabled Profire to enter new industries leveraging our existing products and to develop and grow a robust pipeline of opportunities, which we believe will lead to continued growth |
| A wave of high-profile mergers and acquisitions demonstrate signs of a bullish energy sector |
| It’s a strong territory for us, but we think that it can be even stronger for us |
| We believe that this activity is positive for Profire as the requirements for automation, standardization and lowering the carbon intensity of each barrel produced will continue to be a focus |
| And this is a great thing for Profire as we see it growing |

| Key among these difficulties is that consumers remain hesitant regarding full adoption of electric vehicles due to concerns on pricing, range limitations and lack of available charging stations |
| Inventory is something that I think we struggle with at times as well |
| The gas business for Profire, we never really break it out between oil and gas because there is so much overlap very challenging for us |
| Any further restrictions on global supply will likely increase prices and increase pressure on North American production |
| But with the supply chain challenges, the uncertainty, economic and political that we find ourselves in the landscape these days globally, we probably are going to carry higher levels of inventory |
| The key challenge that we have kind of in our business, which maybe is unique to us a little bit, is it’s not good for us to constantly switch which system we are selling to an individual customer |
| We are also still in a period of transition from our older legacy system, the 2100 to the 2200 and still waiting on full stabilization of the supply chain for that transition |
| Right now, we’re still in that interesting environment where despite steady strong oil prices, the rig count really has gone down for the last 12 to 15 months |
| In recent weeks, many articles have come out covering the significant challenges facing the electric vehicle industry by both auto manufacturers and government organizations |
| The increase year-over-year is primarily due to ongoing inflation pressures on our business and head count growth to support increased business activity |
| We are always accused of having too much inventory |
| But hopefully, if we continue to see growth in activity and demand, we may have to still have higher these levels of inventory, but as a percentage of total revenue on an annual basis, it would hopefully come down a little bit |
| Current events in the Middle East have not yet impacted supply, but a broader conflict in the region could have a meaningful impact on global oil and gas supply |
| And certainly, the pre-COVID, post-COVID has had an impact on our business, and I think many other businesses to where gone are the days of just-in-time inventory |
| We think it’s going to have to go up |
| But overall, they decline and therefore the output of those wells decreases, which drives the need for more drilling, completion, more heaters, as Ryan talked about, as we get into the spaces where we feed these LNG terminals, we feel that whole feedstock, you are going to need more natural gas |
| And Ryan, I know you talked about the working capital early in the call, but I am just – I am still struggling with what’s going on here? Is it something that we should expect for there to be, I am going to call it permanent or semi-permanent levels of inventories that are higher than what we have seen pre-COVID |
| All such forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances |
| Are they getting a little better, yes |
| We’re not necessarily seeing that |
