The company's total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $52.8 million, a significant drop from $102.9 million in the same quarter of the previous year.

Despite this, the company achieved several milestones, including a significant debt refinancing transaction and the receipt of payments from the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) for outstanding receivables.
