| Statement |
|---|
| I am proud of the hard work and perseverance that our teams have demonstrated across our organization |
| Despite a challenging year, we see many bright spots ahead across all of our business segments, and with a strong balance sheet, a new revolving credit facility agreement, and a new term loan agreement, we are poised for growth in 2024 |
| During the fourth quarter, we experienced a slight increase in both revenue and adjusted EBITDA in our infrastructure division, and we are encouraged by the recent bidding activity in this segment |
| So we feel pretty good about the cadence, the way that it's moving |
| We remain very encouraged about the potential for continued growth in this sector, and we feel strongly that Mammoth's infrastructure business is well-positioned for long-term growth in 2024 and beyond |
| All the feedback was extremely positive and certainly done a great job there |
| We are also encouraged by industry expectations of a 10% increase in well completions and pressure pumping year-over-year, which will be the largest catalyst for our pumping fleets and sand business in 2024 |
| We believe these new agreements provide Mammoth with a solid liquidity base for years to come |
| Let me add to that about what we're seeing with PREPA, which is to us very encouraging |
| So we're encouraged about both the feedback from our customers as both as the macro impacts on the infrastructure business |
| Our team is managing this business efficiently, and we are building momentum that we believe will result in performance improvements in 2024 |
| So we see very strong demand in the engineering sector that we're providing, and we think that will cross over and bring in some of our operational aspects as well |
| We believe our diverse portfolio and ability to adapt quickly to changing environments positions us well in these segments |
| We continue to position Mammoth for improved growth and success, and it is all made possible by our talented and skilled team members |
| As we have demonstrated throughout our history, we have a resilient and diversified business comprised of talented and hardworking teams that will continue to find solutions that optimize our operational efficiencies with a customer and safety first focus |
| The fourth quarter was productive as we successfully completed the refinancing of our credit facility and monetized a portion of the PREPA receivable |
| Our continued commitment to safety and high quality standards propel our organization |
| We will continue to operate efficiently, safely, and in a disciplined manner with enhanced results and our shareholders in mind as we work towards an approved 2024 and beyond |
| During the operational softness we've experienced over this year, 2023 marked several accomplishments for Mammoth as we continued a significant debt refinancing transaction, began receiving payments from PREPA on our outstanding receivable, and entered into an agreement to monetize a portion of our outstanding PREPA receivable |
| We anticipate higher demand in 2024, partially driven by Western Canada, which we expect to be accretive to current pricing |
| We're seeing additional growth in the transmission aspect of our business, which is been a push that we've tried to put together and tried to grow that aspect of the business |
| So we're pretty bullish on our infrastructure group |
| We enter 2024 with an improving line of sight, particularly in our infrastructure and sand divisions, and we will be opportunistic in our well completions business as commodity prices improve and activity increases |
| This agreement allowed us to pull forward some of our capital expenditures, which we believe will benefit utilization in our well completion services division in the back half of 2024 |
| These actions both meaningfully increased our liquidity and supplied us with additional capital to invest in our business |
| I hope everyone is doing well and we appreciate you joining us today |
| Michael Mathison Very good |
| And if I could ask you just one more question back to PREPA, obviously, it's good news that they're finally paying you |
| As we guided to on our last call, we benefited from reduced legal fees related to Puerto Rico in the fourth quarter, which contributed to our lower SG&A expenses |
| Our infrastructure services division contributed revenue of $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, which represents an increase when compared to $26.7 million for the third quarter despite a sequentially lower average crew count |
| Statement |

| The fourth quarter proved to be an even more challenging than we had originally anticipated, largely due to additional deferred activity by E&P companies, commodity price fluctuations, and customer budget exhaustion |
| In our sand division, we experienced reduced demand due to softening macro conditions |
| land rig count and associated utilization headwinds, which negatively impacted our well completion services division |
| onshore activity and the sustained weakness in natural gas basins during 2023, particularly in the second half of the year, resulted in continued utilization decline in our well completion services division |
| This decrease when compared to 2022 is primarily attributable to the softness in utilization that we experienced in the well completion services division in the back half of the year |
| The 15% decline in total revenues largely stemmed from the roughly 20% decline in the U.S |
| Sustained lower natural gas prices and commodity price uncertainty have led to utilization headwinds in the basins that we operate in and have caused operators to delay and push activity to the right |
| As we had expected, the impact of these headwinds most directly impacted our well completion and sand divisions in the quarter |
| The persistent challenges associated with lower U.S |
| Adjusted EBITDA, as defined and reconciled in our earnings release, was $10.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease sequentially compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter |
| Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, SG&A was down 36% |
| 2023 was a challenging year for a number of reasons, most notably various macroeconomic factors, but we maintain our belief in our teams and the direction that we are headed |
| Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $8.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, down 20% compared to $10.4 million for the third quarter |
| Our net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $6 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 |
