Forward guidance

The company anticipates continued growth in capital expenditures for 2025, driven by customer compression requirements and capital availability, while maintaining prudent debt levels. They expect cash on hand, operating cash flows, and Credit Facility borrowings to be sufficient for capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Tailwinds

  • Continued demand for higher horsepower units is expected to drive rental revenue growth.
  • Improved adjusted gross margins from rental operations are anticipated to continue.
  • Sufficient cash on hand, operating cash flows, and Credit Facility borrowings are expected to meet capital and liquidity requirements for the next twelve months.
  • Flexibility in financing alternatives allows for adjustments to capital expenditure plans.
  • Strategic focus on higher margin applications is expected to continue.

Headwinds

  • Sales revenue is subject to fluctuations based on customer capital projects and may continue to decline as the company shifts focus away from new compressor package sales.
  • The cost of rentals is expected to increase due to supporting a larger quantity of utilized horsepower and inflationary pressures.
  • Potential for unanticipated expenditures or material acquisitions could exceed current resources or not be available on acceptable terms.
  • Financing capacity could be negatively impacted by other economic factors.
  • The decline in customers due to E&P industry consolidation may continue, though not expected to meaningfully decrease business activity.
