Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026

• Our long-term strategy includes key foundational elements that are intended to enhance long-term shareholder value creation:
• As part of this effort, we have placed a particular emphasis on penetrating larger-scale, longer-term (six months or longer) projects, which we believe will help drive improvements in revenue stability and operational efficiency.
• In the first nine months of 2025, the majority of the growth was driven by our success penetrating larger-scale, longer-term utility transmission projects within Texas, which contributed to exceptionally high rental fleet utilization levels.
• Further, with our revenue growth and the favorable macro-environment, in March 2026, our Board of Directors approved management’s plan to expand our composite mat production capacity by approximately 50% over current
• We expect to invest $40 million to $45 million through the second quarter of 2027 to complete this expansion, of which $10.5 million was invested in the first nine months of 2026, with production expected to start up by mid-2027.
• Throughout 2025 and 2026, we continued to evaluate and execute actions intended to streamline the organization and our cost structure, driving improvements in profitability.
• The third quarter of 2025 included $0.5 million in elevated costs related to performance-based incentives, along with $0.5 million in costs associated with strategic planning projects and our ERP implementation.
• The first nine months of 2025 included $1.5 million in elevated costs related to performance-based incentives, $0.5 million in costs associated with strategic planning projects and our ERP implementation, and $0.4 million of severance costs.
• We expect future working capital requirements for our operations will generally fluctuate directionally with revenues, and we expect net capital expenditures in 2026 to be $70 million to $75 million, which includes $40 million to $45 million invested to expand our rental fleet and approximately $20 million for the manufacturing expansion.
• We also expect to use a portion of our existing liquidity to pursue inorganic growth opportunities and return value to our shareholders through share repurchases.
• We expect cash on hand and cash generated by operations, as well as the projected availability under our Credit Facility and other existing financing arrangements, to be adequate to fund our current operations during the next 12 months.
