Overview

We are an integrated, growth-oriented energy services company focused on providing products and services to enable the exploration and development of North American onshore unconventional oil and natural gas reserve as well as the construction and repair of the electric grid for private utilities, public investor-owned utilities and co-operative utilities through our infrastructure services businesses. Our primary business objective is to grow our operations and create value for stockholders through organic growth opportunities and accretive acquisitions. Our suite of services includes well completion services, infrastructure services, natural sand proppant services, drilling services and other services. Our well completion services division provides hydraulic fracturing, sand hauling and water transfer services. Our infrastructure services division provides engineering, design, construction, upgrade, maintenance and repair services to the electrical infrastructure industry. Our natural sand proppant services division mines, processes and sells natural sand proppant used for hydraulic fracturing. Our drilling services division currently provides rental equipment, such as mud motors and operational tools, for both vertical and horizontal drilling. In addition to these service divisions, we also provide aviation services, equipment rentals, crude oil hauling services, remote accommodations and equipment manufacturing. We believe that the services we offer play a critical role in increasing the ultimate recovery and present value of production streams from unconventional resources as well as in maintaining and improving electrical infrastructure. Our complementary suite of services provides us with the opportunity to cross-sell our services and expand our customer base and geographic positioning.

The growth of our industrial businesses is ongoing. We offer infrastructure engineering services focused on the transmission and distribution industry and also have equipment manufacturing operations and offer fiber optic services. Our equipment manufacturing operations provide us with the ability to repair much of our existing equipment in-house, as well as the option to manufacture certain new equipment we may need in the future. Our fiber optic services include the installation of both aerial and buried fiber. We are continuing to explore other opportunities to expand our industrial business lines.

Our revenues, operating (loss) income and identifiable assets are primarily attributable to four reportable segments: well completion services; infrastructure services; natural sand proppant services; and drilling services. Prior to 2023, we included Bison Trucking LLC, or Bison Trucking, in our drilling segment. Based on our assessment of FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, guidance at December 31, 2023, we changed our presentation in 2023 to move Bison Trucking to the reconciling column titled “All Other”. The results for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.

Overview of Our Industries

Oil and Natural Gas Industry

The oil and natural gas industry has traditionally been volatile and is influenced by a combination of long-term, short-term and cyclical trends, including the domestic and international supply and demand for oil and natural gas, current and expected future prices for oil and natural gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, production depletion rates and the resultant levels of cash flows generated and allocated by exploration and production companies to their drilling, completion and related services and products budgets. The oil and natural gas industry is also impacted by general domestic and international economic conditions, political instability in oil producing countries, government regulations (both in the United States and elsewhere), levels of customer demand, the availability of pipeline capacity, storage capacity, shortages of equipment and materials and other conditions and factors that are beyond our control.

Demand for most of our oil and natural gas products and services depends substantially on the level of expenditures by companies in the oil and natural gas industry. The levels of capital expenditures of our customers are driven by many factors, including the prices of oil and natural gas. In March and April 2020, concurrent with the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine orders in the U.S. and worldwide, oil prices dropped sharply to below zero dollars per barrel for the first time in history due to factors including significantly reduced demand and a shortage of storage facilities. In 2021, U.S. oil production stabilized as commodity prices increased and demand for crude oil rebounded. We saw improvements in the oilfield services industry and in both pricing and utilization of our well completion and drilling services during 2022. Throughout 2023, pricing for crude oil and natural gas declined from levels seen in 2022, which slowed down completion activities for our customers, in particular, in the Utica and Marcellus Shale natural gas plays, and, as a result, reduced demand for our well completion services. These factors have continued into the first quarter of 2024. Despite this near-term softness, however, we are seeing indications that activity levels will begin to ramp back up in mid-2024, creating the opportunity to reactivate additional fleets, if appropriate. The ongoing war in Ukraine and the recent Israel-Hamas war, however, could continue to have an adverse impact on the global energy markets and volatility of commodity prices, which could further adversely impact demand for our well completion services.

In response to market conditions, we temporarily shut down our cementing and acidizing operations and flowback operations beginning in July 2019, our contract drilling operations beginning in December 2019, our rig hauling operations beginning in April 2020, our coil tubing, pressure control and full service transportation operations beginning in July 2020 and our crude oil hauling operations beginning in July 2021. We continue to monitor the market to determine if and when we can recommence these services.

Natural Sand Proppant Industry

We experienced a significant decline in demand of our sand proppant in the second half of 2019 and throughout 2020 as a result of completion activity falling due to lower oil demand and pricing, increased capital discipline by our customers, budget exhaustion and the COVID-19 pandemic. Activity rebounded modestly in 2021 and continued to increase throughout 2022 as we saw an increase in the volume of sand sold. Supply constraints from labor shortages negatively affected West Texas in-basin mine operations and increased demand for Northern White frac sand for the region in 2022. Demand from oil and gas companies in Western Canada and the Marcellus Shale was also strong in 2022. The increase in activity in 2022 resulted in an increase in demand and pricing for our sand, which continued throughout the first quarter of 2023. Demand for our natural sand proppant was adversely impacted in the second quarter of 2023 by the wildfires in Canada, which hindered our ability to transport sand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our sand business remained resilient during the second quarter of 2023. As discussed above, pricing for crude oil and natural gas declined from levels seen in 2022, which slowed down completion

57

activities and adversely impacted demand for our sand proppant services in the second half of 2023. We are beginning to see an uptick in orders for our sand in the first quarter of 2024 and anticipate higher demand in 2024, partially driven by western Canada, which we expect to be accretive to current pricing.

As a result of adverse market conditions, production at our Muskie sand facility in Pierce County, Wisconsin has been temporarily idled since September 2018. Our contracted capacity has provided a baseline of business, which has kept our Taylor and Piranha plants operating and our costs competitive.

Energy Infrastructure Industry

Our infrastructure services business provides engineering, design, construction, upgrade, maintenance and repair services to the electrical infrastructure industry. We offer a broad range of services on electric transmission and distribution, or T&D, networks and substation facilities, which include engineering, design, construction, upgrade, maintenance and repair of high voltage transmission lines, substations and lower voltage overhead and underground distribution systems. Our commercial services include the installation, maintenance and repair of commercial wiring. We also provide storm repair and restoration services in response to storms and other disasters. We provide infrastructure services primarily in the northeastern, southwestern, midwestern and western portions of the United States.

We currently have agreements in place with private utilities, public IOUs and Co-Ops. Since we commenced operations in this line of business, a substantial portion of our infrastructure revenue has been generated from storm restoration work, primarily from PREPA, due to damage caused by Hurricane Maria. On October 19, 2017, Cobra and PREPA entered into an emergency master services agreement for repairs to PREPA’s electrical grid. The one-year contract, as amended, provided for payments of up to $945 million (the “first contract”). On May 26, 2018, Cobra and PREPA entered into a second one-year master services agreement, which provided for payments of up to $900 million, to provide additional repair services and begin the initial phase of reconstruction of the electrical power system in Puerto Rico (the “second contract”). Our work under each of the contracts with PREPA ended on March 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2023, PREPA owed us approximately $204.8 million for services we performed, excluding $197.5 million of interest charged on delinquent balances as of December 31, 2023. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Accounts Receivable to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. PREPA is currently subject to bankruptcy proceedings, which were filed in July 2017 and are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. As a result, PREPA’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the contracts is largely dependent upon funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, or other sources. Since September 30, 2019, we have been pursuing litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico and other dispute resolution efforts seeking recovery of the amounts owed to Cobra by PREPA for restoration services in Puerto Rico, which proceedings are discussed in more detail in Note 20—“Commitments and Contingencies—Litigation” included elsewhere in this report. In connection with these efforts, in 2023, an aggregate of $99 million was approved by FEMA for reimbursement to Cobra for services performed by Cobra, of which amount approximately $22.2 million was paid by PREPA to Cobra in 2023. On December 1, 2023, Cobra, as seller, and Mammoth, as guarantor, entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with SPCP Group, LLC (“SPCP Group”), pursuant to which Cobra transferred to SPCP Group all of its rights, title and interest in $54.4 million of outstanding accounts receivable with PREPA and received net proceeds of $46.1 million. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cobra Assignment Agreement” for additional information. On December 4, 2023, following submission of a joint status report by Cobra and FEMA on December 1, 2023, in which, among other things, PREPA reported that they submitted a request for reimbursement to COR3 on November 1, 2023 for $82.4 million and is disputing approximately $1.5 million of invoices from Cobra, the Court ordered PREPA to provide a detailed summary of each of their objections to the disputed amounts and directed the parties to report the status of any remaining unpaid approved invoices in connection with the status report due on January 16, 2024. On January 16, 2024, the parties filed a joint status report in which, among other things, PREPA reported that on December 28, 2023, it received a disbursement from COR3 for the amount requested on November 1, 2023 and was in the process of paying approximately $13.4 million in approved but unpaid invoices for reimbursements for services performed by Cobra to SPCP Group as Cobra’s assignee, which amount was paid by PREPA on January 18, 2024. PREPA, however, also informed the Court that it will withhold the release of any further funds to Cobra approved by FEMA for reimbursement to Cobra due to the municipal and construction excise tax claims against Cobra allegedly aggregating to $70.4 million. Cobra believes it is exempt from the construction excise taxes and strongly disagrees with PREPA’s decision to withhold funds. On January 17, 2024, Cobra filed a Writ of Certiorari requesting the Court of Appeals to reverse the order from the Humacao Superior Court. On February 15, 2024, Cobra’s request was granted by the Court of Appeals and the order instructing PREPA to withhold the $9.0 million payment from Cobra was revoked. The case was remanded to the lower Court for continuation of the proceedings in accordance with the Court of Appeals’ order. The municipality has 15 days to request reconsideration. On January 19, 2024, the Court extended the previously ordered stay in the proceedings through April 5, 2024, and directed the parties to file a joint status report addressing (i) the status of any

58

administrative appeals in connection with the November 2022 and December 2022 determination memoranda regarding the second contract, (ii) the status of any remaining approved, but unpaid invoices, and (iii) whether the parties are actively engaged in mediation to resolve their outstanding issues by March 27, 2024. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, PREPA paid $64.0 million with respect to the outstanding PREPA receivable, of which $9.6 million was paid to Cobra and $54.4 million was paid to SPCP Group, as Cobra’s assignee under the Assignment Agreement, which fully extinguished Cobra’s and Mammoth’s obligations to SPCP Group under the Assignment Agreement, and the Assignment Agreement was terminated.

We believe all amounts charged to PREPA were in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Further, we believe these receivables are collectible. However, in the event PREPA (i) does not have or does not obtain the funds necessary to satisfy its obligations to Cobra under the contracts, (ii) obtains the necessary funds but refuses to pay the amounts owed to us or (iii) otherwise does not pay amounts owed to us for services performed, the receivable may not be collected and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, government contracts are subject to various uncertainties, restrictions and regulations, including oversight audits and compliance reviews by government agencies and representatives. In this regard, on September 10, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico unsealed an indictment that charged the former president of Cobra with conspiracy, wire fraud, false statements and disaster fraud. Two other individuals were also charged in the indictment. The indictment was focused on the interactions between a former FEMA official and the former President of Cobra. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were charged in the indictment. On May 18, 2022, the former FEMA official and the former president of Cobra each pled guilty to one-count information charging gratuities related to a project that Cobra never bid upon and was never awarded or received any monies for. On December 13, 2022, the Court sentenced the former Cobra president to custody of the Bureau of Prisons for six months and one day, a term of supervised release of six months and a fine of $25,000. The Court sentenced the FEMA official to custody of the Bureau of Prisons for six months and one day, a term of supervised release of six months and a fine of $15,000. The Court also dismissed the indictment against the two defendants. We do not expect any additional activity in the criminal proceeding. Given the uncertainty inherent in the criminal litigation, however, it is not possible at this time to determine the potential impacts that the sentencings could have on us. PREPA has stated in Court filings that it may contend the alleged criminal activity affects Cobra’s entitlement to payment under its contracts with PREPA. It is unclear what PREPA’s position will be going forward. See Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding these investigations and proceedings. Further, as noted above, our contracts with PREPA have concluded and we have not obtained, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain, one or more contracts with other customers to replace the level of services that we provided to PREPA.

During 2022, operational improvements combined with increased crew count drove enhanced results in our infrastructure services division compared to 2021. Although our average crew count declined slightly from approximately 91 crews throughout 2022 to approximately 83 crews throughout 2023, operational efficiencies drove comparable results. Funding for projects in the infrastructure space remains strong with added opportunities expected from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law on November 15, 2021. We anticipate the federal spending to begin fueling additional projects in this sector and expect bidding activity to ramp up in 2024. We continue to focus on operational execution and pursue opportunities within this sector as we strategically structure our service offerings for growth, intending to increase our infrastructure services activity and expand both our geographic footprint and depth of projects, especially in fiber maintenance and installation projects.

We work for multiple utilities primarily across the northeastern, southwestern, midwestern and western portions of the United States. We believe that we are well-positioned to compete for new projects due to the experience of our infrastructure management team, combined with our vertically integrated service offerings. We are seeking to leverage this experience and our service offerings to grow our customer base and increase our revenues in the continental United States over the coming years.

Revenue. Revenue for 2023 decreased $52.6 million, or 15%, to $309.5 million from $362.1 million for 2022. The decline in total revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in utilization in our well completion services division as well as a decline in tons sold in our natural sand proppant services division. Revenue derived from related parties was $1.0 million for 2023 compared to $1.1 million for 2022. Revenue by division was as follows:

Well Completion Services. Well completion services division revenue decreased $39.4 million, or 23%, to $131.3 million for 2023 from $170.7 million for 2022. Intersegment revenue, consisting primarily of revenue derived from our other services and natural sand proppant segment, totaled $0.5 million and $0.8 million, for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

60

The decline in our well completion services revenue was primarily driven by decreased utilization. The number of stages completed declined 31% to 4,220 for 2023 from 6,149 for 2022. An average of 1.8 of our six fleets were active throughout 2023 compared to 3.0 fleets for 2022.

Infrastructure Services. Infrastructure services division revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 1%, to $110.5 million for 2023 from $111.5 million for 2022 primarily due to a decline in average crew count from 91 crews during the year ended December 31, 2022 to an average of 83 crews during the year ended December 31, 2023. This was partially offset by an increase in storm restoration activity of $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Natural Sand Proppant Services. Natural sand proppant services division revenue decreased $12.3 million, or 24%, to $39.1 million for 2023, from $51.4 million for 2022. Intersegment revenue, consisting primarily of revenue derived from our well completion segment, was a nominal amount for 2023 and $2.5 million, or 5% of total sand revenue, for 2022.

The decrease in our natural sand proppant services revenue was primarily attributable to declines in freight and shortfall revenue of $7.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, coupled with a 14% decline in tons of sand sold from approximately 1.4 million tons in 2022 to 1.2 million tons in 2023. This was partially offset by a 10% increase in average price per ton of sand sold from $27.11 in 2022 to $29.86 in 2023.

Drilling Services. Drilling services division revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 15%, to $7.1 million for 2023, from $8.4 million for 2022. Revenue derived from related parties, consisting primarily of directional drilling revenue from El Toro Resources LLC, was $0.5 million for 2023 and $0.8 million for 2022. The decrease in our drilling services revenue was primarily attributable to decreased utilization for our directional drilling business from 44% for 2022 to 36% for 2023, which was partially offset by an increase in the average dayrate.

Other Services. Revenue from other services, including our aviation, equipment rental, remote accommodation and equipment manufacturing businesses decreased $1.1 million, or 4%, to $24.1 million for 2023 from $25.2 million for 2022. Revenue derived from related parties, consisting primarily of aviation revenue from Brim Equipment Leasing, Inc., or Brim, was $0.4 million for 2023 and $0.3 million for 2022. Intersegment revenue, consisting primarily of revenue derived from our infrastructure and well completion segments, totaled $2.1 million and $1.7 million, for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The decrease in our other services revenue was primarily due to a decline in utilization for our equipment rental business. We rented an average of 241 pieces of equipment to customers during 2023, a decrease of 3% from an average of 249 pieces of equipment rented to customers during 2022. This was offset by an increase in utilization for remote accommodations business. On average, 178 rooms were utilized per night during 2023, a 3% increase from an average of 172 rooms utilized per night in 2022.

Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense). Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense, decreased $30.8 million from $278.6 million, or 77% of total revenue, for 2022 to $247.8 million, or 80% of total revenue, for 2023. Cost of revenue by operating division was as follows:

Well Completion Services. Well completion services division cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, decreased $20.0 million, or 16%, from $128.7 million for 2022 to $108.7 million for 2023 primarily due to a decline in utilization. As a percentage of revenue, our well completion services division cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense of $16.8 million in 2023 and $22.1 million in 2022, was 83% and 75%, for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in utilization of our pressure pumping services, resulting in a higher ratio of fixed costs to variable costs.

Infrastructure Services. Infrastructure services division cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, decreased $1.0 million from $91.6 million for 2022 to $90.6 million for 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense of $8.4 million in 2023 and $16.2 million in 2022, was 82% for each of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Natural Sand Proppant Services. Natural sand proppant services division cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, depletion and accretion expense, decreased $10.5 million, or 29%, from $36.8 million for 2022 to $26.3

61

million for 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, depletion and accretion expense of $7.7 million in 2023 and $8.7 million in 2022, was 67% and 72%, for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in cost as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a 10% increase in average sales price.

Drilling Services. Drilling services division cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, decreased $0.5 million, or 7%, from $7.6 million for 2022 to $7.1 million for 2023. As a percentage of revenue, our drilling services division cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense of $4.5 million in 2023 and $5.8 million in 2022, was 100% and 90%, for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase as a percentage of revenue in 2023 is primarily due to a decrease in utilization, resulting in a higher ratio of fixed costs to variable costs.

Other Services. Other services cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, decreased $1.0 million, or 5%, from $18.8 million for 2022 to $17.8 million for 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense of $7.7 million in 2023 and $11.5 million in 2022, was 74% and 75%, for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, represent the costs associated with managing and supporting our operations. SG&A expense decreased $2.1 million, or 5%, to $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $39.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the provision for expected credit losses. The following is a breakout of SG&A expenses for the periods indicated (in thousands):

a.    Includes travel-related costs, IT expenses, rent, utilities and other general and administrative-related costs.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion decreased $19.2 million, or 30%, to $45.1 million for 2023 from $64.3 million in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in property and equipment depreciation expense as a result of lower capital expenditures and existing assets being fully depreciated or impaired.

Gains on Disposal of Assets, Net. Gains on the disposal of assets increased $2.1 million, or 54%, to $6.0 million for 2023 from $3.9 million in 2022. Gains on the disposal of assets is primarily related to the sale of a drilling rig, trucks, and field equipment for the years ended December 31, 2023 and trucks, land and buildings for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Impairment of Goodwill. As a result of the sale of ARS, we performed an impairment assessment of our goodwill for the Aviation reporting unit. We determined that the carrying value of goodwill for our Aviation reporting unit exceeded the fair value, resulting in impairment expense of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We did not recognize any impairment of goodwill in 2022.

Operating Loss. We reported an operating loss of $16.7 million for 2023 compared to $16.4 million for 2022. The increased operating loss in 2023 was primarily due to reduced utilization across our well completions and natural sand proppant divisions, partially offset by a decline in depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense.

Interest Expense and financing charges, net. Interest expense and financing charges, net increased $4.7 million to $16.2 million for 2023 from $11.5 million for 2022, primarily due to a $2.8 million financing charge incurred in relation to the

62

Assignment Agreement with SPCP Group. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cobra Assignment Agreement” for additional information.

Other Income, net. Other income, net increased $1.1 million during 2023 compared to 2022. We recognized interest on trade accounts receivable of $45.4 million in 2023 compared to $41.3 million in 2022. Additionally, on July 13, 2023, we sold all of our equity interests in ARS resulting in a $2.1 million gain on the sale.

Income Taxes. During 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $12.3 million on pre-tax income of $9.1 million compared to income tax expense of $13.6 million on pre-tax income of $13.0 million for 2022. Our effective tax rate was 134.6% for 2023 compared to 104.8% for 2022. Our tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, as well as discrete items, such as changes in the valuation allowance and interest and penalties that may not be consistent from year to year. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for additional detail regarding our change in tax expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, gains on disposal of assets, net, impairment of goodwill, impairment of other long-lived assets, public offering costs, stock based compensation, interest expense and financing charges, net, other income, net (which is comprised of interest on trade accounts receivable and certain legal expenses) and provision (benefit) for income taxes, further adjusted to add back interest on trade accounts receivable. We exclude the items listed above from net (loss) income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industries depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements.

The following tables also provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income or (loss) for each of our operating segments for the specified periods (in thousands).

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Loss per Share

Adjusted net loss and adjusted basic and diluted loss per share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management to evaluate our operating and financial performance. Management believes these measures provide meaningful information about the Company’s performance by excluding certain non-cash charges, such as impairment of goodwill and impairment of other long-lived assets, that may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results, from net loss. Adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss and loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share to the GAAP financial measures of net loss and loss per share for the periods specified.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require capital to fund ongoing operations including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet of equipment, organic growth initiatives, investments and acquisitions, and the litigation settlement obligations described in Note 20 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and under “Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity” below. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash on hand, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term credit facility and cash flows from operations, as well as the net proceeds received by Cobra under the assignment agreement with SPCP Group relating to the PREPA receivable. Our primary uses of capital have been for investing in property and equipment used to provide our services and to acquire complementary businesses.

a.    Net working capital (less cash and current portion of long-term debt) is a non-GAAP measure and, as of December 31, 2023, is calculated by subtracting total current liabilities of $182.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 million from total current assets of $496.9 million. As of December 31, 2022, net working capital (less cash) is calculated by subtracting total current liabilities of $237.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of $17.3 million from total current assets of $496.7 million, further adjusted to add current portion of long-term debt of $83.5 million. Amounts include receivables due from PREPA of $402.3 million and $379.0 million and corresponding liabilities of $60.6 million and $47.6 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of February 28, 2024, we had cash on hand of $10.5 million, no outstanding borrowings under our new revolving credit facility and a borrowing base of $23.3 million, leaving an aggregate of $17.0 million of available borrowing capacity under this facility, after giving effect to $6.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of February 28, 2024, we had total liquidity of $27.5 million consisting of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our new revolving credit facility. These amounts do not include $9.6 million in cash received on February 29, 2024.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $31.4 million, $15.3 million and ($18.9) million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The change in operating cash flows from 2022 to 2023 was primarily due to increased receipts on accounts receivable, including the receipt of $22.2 million from PREPA, which was partially offset by an increase in payments on accounts payable and other liabilities as well as a decline in depreciation expense. The change in operating cash flows from 2021 to 2022 was primarily due to an increase in activity and utilization across all of our operating divisions.

Investing Activities

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was ($8.8) million, ($2.1) million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Cash (used in) provided by investing activities is primarily comprised of purchases of property and equipment and proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment and business divestitures.

Financing Activities

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($15.6) million, ($5.6) million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to net repayments under our revolving credit facility of $83.5 million, principal payments on financing leases and equipment financing notes of $12.2 million, principal payments on sale leaseback arrangements of $5.0 million, debt issuance costs of $4.0 million and share repurchases used to satisfy tax withholding obligations of $0.9 million in connection with the vesting and settlement of certain executive restricted stock unit awards, partially offset by net proceeds from financing transactions of $46.1 million and borrowings with related parties of $43.9 million in relation to our term loan. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to net repayments under our revolving credit facility of $1.5 million and principal payments on financing leases and equipment notes of $4.3 million, partially offset by net proceeds received from sale-leaseback transactions of $0.2 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to net proceeds received from sale-leaseback transactions of $6.5 million and net borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $4.2 million, partially offset by principal payment on financing leases and equipment notes of $2.3 million.

Effect of Foreign Exchange Rate on Cash

The effect of foreign exchange rate on cash was a nominal amount for the year ended December 31, 2023, ($0.2) million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and was a nominal amount for the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-over-year effect was driven primarily by a favorable (unfavorable) shift in the weakness (strength) of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar for the cash held in Canadian accounts.

Working Capital

Our working capital totaled $314.4 million and $259.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023 and 2022. Our unrestricted cash balances totaled $16.6 million and $17.3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023 and 2022. Included in working capital are receivables due from PREPA totaling $402.3 million and $379.0 million and corresponding liabilities of $60.6 million and $47.6 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

New Revolving Credit Facility and New Term Credit Facility

On October 16, 2023, we entered into the new revolving credit facility and the new term credit facility (each as defined below), which refinanced in full our indebtedness outstanding under, and terminated, the amended and restated revolving credit facility, dated as of October 19, 2018, as amended (the “previous revolving credit facility”), with us and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and as administrative agent for the lenders.

On October 16, 2023, we, as borrower, and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a revolving credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as a lender and as

68

administrative agent for the lenders (“Fifth Third”), as may be subsequently amended (the “new revolving credit facility”). The new revolving credit facility provides for revolving commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $75 million. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility are secured by our assets, inclusive of the subsidiary companies, and are subject to a borrowing base calculation prepared monthly which includes a requirement to maintain certain reserves as specified in the new revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility also contains various affirmative and restrictive covenants. Interest under the new revolving credit facility equals the Tranche Rate (as defined in the new revolving credit facility) plus (i) 1.75%, if the Average Excess Availability Percentage (as defined in the new revolving credit facility) is greater than 66 2/3%, (ii) 2.00% if the Average Excess Availability Percentage is greater than 33 1/3% and less than or equal to 66 2/3%, and (iii) 2.25% if the Average Excess Availability Percentage is less than or equal to 33 1/3%.

As of October 16, 2023, the financial covenant under the new revolving credit facility was the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 which applies only during a Financing Covenant Period (as defined in the new revolving credit facility).

On October 16, 2023, we, as borrower, and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, also entered into a loan and security agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wexford Capital LP, an affiliate of the Company, as administrative agent for the lenders “Wexford”), as may be subsequently amended (the “new term credit facility”). The new term credit facility was approved by the audit committee of our board of directors, consisting entirely of independent directors, as a transaction with a related party.

The new term credit facility provides for term commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $45 million. Borrowings under the new term credit facility are secured by our assets, inclusive of the subsidiary companies. The new term credit facility also contains various affirmative and restrictive covenants. Interest under the new term credit facility equals the SOFR Interest Rate (as defined in the new term credit facility) plus 7.50%, as such margin may be increased pursuant to the terms of the new term credit facility; provided that we may elect to pay all or a portion of the accrued interest due with respect to any Interest Period (as defined in the new term credit facility) ending on or before April 16, 2025, in kind by adding such accrued interest to the principal amount of the outstanding loans thereunder.

In particular, under the new term credit facility, we are required, among other things, to mandatorily remit to Wexford up to 50% of all amounts that constitute PREPA Claim Proceeds, as such term is defined in the new term credit facility, which will be used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the new term credit facility, as required under the terms thereof.

If an event of default occurs under the new revolving credit facility or the new term credit facility, as applicable, and remains uncured, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The lenders, as applicable, (i) would not be required to lend any additional amounts to us under the new revolving credit facility, (ii) could elect to increase the interest rate by (x) 200 basis points in connection with an event of default under the new revolving credit facility or (y) 300 basis points with respect to an event of default under the new term credit facility, (iii) could elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable, (iv) may have the ability to require us to apply all of our available cash to repay outstanding borrowings, and (v) may foreclose on substantially all of our assets. The exercise of remedies under the new revolving credit facility and the new term credit facility are subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (the “intercreditor agreement”) between Fifth Third and Wexford and acknowledged by us and certain of our subsidiaries. The new revolving credit facility is currently scheduled to mature on the earliest of (x) July 17, 2028, unless the indebtedness under the new term credit facility is refinanced in accordance with terms of the intercreditor agreement, (y) October 16, 2028. The new term credit facility is currently scheduled to mature on October 16, 2028.

We were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants under our amended revolving credit facility in effect as of December 31, 2023. For additional information regarding our revolving credit facility, see Note 11. Debt to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Cobra Assignment Agreement

On December 1, 2023, Cobra, as seller, and Mammoth, as guarantor, entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with SPCP Group, LLC (“SPCP Group”), as purchaser. Under the terms and conditions of the Assignment Agreement, Cobra transferred to SPCP Group, at the purchase rate of 88.0% and free and clear of any liens and claims, all of its rights, title and interest in the first $63.0 million (the “Transferred Amount”) of the total outstanding accounts receivable that remained unpaid by PREPA as of October 6, 2023 (the “PREPA Claim”), received or to be received by Cobra on or after October 6, 2023. Between October 6, 2023 and December 1, 2023, Cobra received payments from PREPA with respect to the PREPA Claim totaling $8.6 million (the “Interim Payment Amount”), resulting in the net Transferred Amount of $54.4 million.

69

Under the terms and conditions of the Assignment Agreement, any portion of the Transferred Amount that remains outstanding from PREPA from and after March 31, 2024 will thereafter increase monthly at a rate of 1% per month, compounded. Any amount received with respect to the PREPA Claim in excess of the Transferred Amount will be for the benefit of Cobra. If (i) it is determined by a final order of any court of competent jurisdiction that the PREPA Claim is subject to any defense, claim or right of setoff, reduction, avoidance, disallowance, subordination, disgorgement, recharacterization, adversary proceeding or other impairment, whether on contractual, legal or equitable grounds, resulting in the PREPA Claim being disallowed or allowed in an amount less than the Transferred Amount, or (ii) Cobra consents to, or enters into a settlement agreement with PREPA for, the payment that is, in an aggregate amount, less than the Transferred Amount or is otherwise adversely impacting SPCP Group’s rights transferred under the Assignment Agreement, Cobra has agreed to repurchase within 18 months and one day from the receipt of SPCP Group’s written demand, the unpaid portion of the Transferred Amount subject to such disallowance or impairment, multiplied by the purchase rate, plus interest accruing, subject to certain tolling provisions, at a rate of 6% per annum from December 1, 2023 through and including the date of such repurchase.

In connection with the entry into the Assignment Agreement, Mammoth and Cobra obtained the required consents from lenders under the Company’s revolving credit facility with Fifth Third Bank and the Company’s term loan and security agreement with Wexford. Further, under the term loan and security agreement with Wexford, Mammoth is required, among other things, to mandatorily remit to Wexford up to 50% of all amounts that constitute PREPA Claim proceeds, to reduce outstanding borrowings under such term loan and security agreement. In connection with the Assignment Agreement, Wexford waived this requirement until the Assignment Agreement is terminated.

The net proceeds received by Cobra in connection with the Assignment Agreement were $46.1 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, PREPA paid $64.0 million with respect to the outstanding PREPA receivable. Of the $64.0 million, $54.4 million was paid to SPCP Group, as Cobra’s assignee under the Assignment Agreement, which fully extinguished Cobra’s and Mammoth’s obligations to SPCP Group, and the Assignment Agreement was terminated. The remaining $9.6 million was paid to Cobra.

Repurchase Program Authorization

On August 10, 2023, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we would be authorized to repurchase up to the lesser of $55 million or 10 million shares of its common stock, subject to the factors discussed below. Following the completion of the refinancing transactions discussed in this report, any stock repurchases under this program may be made opportunistically from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including any 10b5-1 plan, and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal and contractual restrictions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The repurchase program has no time limit, does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended from time to time, modified or discontinued by our board of directors at any time. Any common stock repurchased as part of such stock repurchase program will be cancelled and retired. We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program as of December 31, 2023 or to date. See also Item 1.A. “Risk Factors--Our ability to repurchase stock may be limited and no assurance can be given that we will be able to effectuate our stock repurchase program in the future at indicated levels or at all.”

Sale-Leaseback Transactions

On December 30, 2020, we entered into an agreement with First National Capital, LLC, or FNC, whereby we agreed to sell certain assets from our infrastructure segment to FNC for aggregate proceeds of $5.0 million. Concurrent with the sale of assets, we entered into a 36-month lease agreement whereby we will lease back the assets at a monthly rental rate of $0.1 million. On June 1, 2021, we entered into another agreement with FNC whereby we sold additional assets from our infrastructure segment to FNC for aggregate proceeds of $9.5 million and entered into a 42-month lease agreement whereby we lease back the assets at a monthly rental rate of $0.2 million. On June 1, 2022, we entered into another agreement with FNC whereby we sold additional assets from our infrastructure segment to FNC for aggregate proceeds of $4.6 million and entered into a 42-month lease agreement whereby we lease back the assets at a monthly rental rate of $0.1 million. Under the agreements, we have the option to purchase the assets at the end of the lease term. We recorded a liability for the proceeds received and will continue to depreciate the assets. We imputed an interest rate so that the carrying amount of the financial liabilities will be the expected repurchase price at the end of the initial lease terms.

Aviation Note

On November 6, 2020, Leopard and Cobra Aviation entered into a 39-month promissory note agreement with Bank7, or the Aviation Note, in an aggregate principal amount of $4.6 million and received net proceeds of $4.5 million. The Aviation Note bore interest at a rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus a margin of 1%. The Aviation Note was paid off on September 30, 2022.

Equipment Financing Note

In December 2022, we entered into a 42-month financing arrangement with FNC for the purchase of seven new pressure pumping units for an aggregate value of $9.7 million. Under this arrangement, we agreed to make monthly principal and interest payments totaling $0.3 million over the term of the agreement. This note was secured by the seven pressure pumping units and bore interest at an imputed rate of approximately 15.0%. This equipment note was paid off on December 22, 2023.

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

As we pursue our business and financial strategy, we regularly consider which capital resources are available to meet our future financial obligations and liquidity requirement. We believe that our cash on hand, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our credit facility and term loan facility will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term funding requirements, including funding our current operations, planned capital expenditures, debt service obligations and known contingencies.

However, our liquidity and future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including receipt of payments from our customers, including PREPA. During the year ended December 31, 2023, PREPA paid our subsidiary Cobra approximately $22.2 million. See also “—Cobra Assignment Agreement” regarding Cobra’s December 1, 2023 assignment of the Transferred Amount of PREPA receivable to SPCP Group and Cobra’s receipt of $46.1 million in net proceeds in connection therewith. As of December 31, 2023, PREPA owed Cobra approximately $402.3 million for services performed, including $197.5 million of interest charges. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, PREPA paid $64.0 million with respect to the outstanding PREPA receivable. Of the $64.0 million, $54.4 million was paid to SPCP Group, as Cobra’s assignee under the Assignment Agreement, which fully extinguished Cobra’s and Mammoth’s obligations to SPCP Group, and the Assignment Agreement was terminated. The remaining $9.6 million was paid to Cobra.

Throughout 2021 and 2022, we have released significant data that we obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests along with reviews of both our work and our contracts by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that, we believe, affirm the work performed by Cobra in Puerto Rico. We believe these documents in conjunction with the current Administration’s focus on the recovery of Puerto Rico and our enhanced lobbying efforts will aid in collecting the outstanding amounts owed to us by PREPA. However, in the event PREPA (i) does not have or does not obtain the funds necessary to satisfy its obligations to Cobra under the contracts, (ii) obtains the necessary funds but refuses to pay the amounts owed to Cobra or (iii) otherwise does not pay amounts owed to Cobra, the receivable may not be collectible, which may adversely impact our liquidity.

During 2023, our capital expenditures totaled $19.4 million, including $17.9 million in our well completion segment primarily related to upgrades to our pressure pumping fleet, $0.7 million in our infrastructure segment primarily related to truck, tooling and equipment purchases for new crews, $0.2 million in our natural sand proppant services segment for equipment maintenance and $0.6 million for our other divisions primarily related to equipment additions for our remote accommodations and equipment rental businesses.

During 2024, we currently estimate that our aggregate capital expenditures will be approximately $15 million, depending upon industry conditions and our financial results. These capital expenditures include $13 million for our well completions segment, $1 million for our infrastructure segment and $1 million for our other businesses.

Also, as noted above in this report, in response to market conditions we have (i) temporarily shut down certain of our oilfield service offerings, including coil tubing, pressure control, flowback, crude oil hauling, cementing, acidizing and land drilling services, (ii) idled certain facilities, including our sand processing plant in Pierce County, Wisconsin and (iii) reduced our workforce across all of our operations. We continue to monitor market conditions to determine if and when we will recommence these services and operations and increase our workforce. Any such recommencement and expansion will further increase our liquidity requirements in advance of revenue generation.

71

In addition, while we regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities, we do not have a specific acquisition budget for 2024 since the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be accurately forecasted. We intend to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities, including those in the renewable energy sector as well as transactions involving entities controlled by Wexford. Our acquisitions may be undertaken with cash, our common stock or a combination of cash, common stock and/or other consideration. In the event we make one or more acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional capital.

If we seek additional capital for any of the above or other reasons, we may do so through borrowings under a revolving credit facility, joint venture partnerships, sale-leaseback transactions, asset sales, including potential sales of accounts receivable, offerings of debt or equity securities or other means. Although we expect that our sources of capital will be adequate to fund our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, we cannot assure you that this additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain funds we need, our ability to conduct operations, make capital expenditures, satisfy debt services obligations, pay litigation settlement obligations, fund contingencies and/or complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us will be impaired, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of judgments and estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described below to provide a better understanding of how we develop our assumptions and judgments about future events and related estimates and how they can impact our financial statements. A critical accounting estimate is one that requires our most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments and assessments and is fundamental to our results of operations. We identified our most critical accounting estimates to be:

–allowance for expected credit losses;

–valuations of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets; and

–litigation and contingencies.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, as well as the significant estimates and judgments affecting the application of these policies. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

We regularly review receivables and provide for estimated losses through an allowance for expected credit losses. In evaluating the level of established reserves, we make judgments regarding our customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of customers changes, circumstances develop, or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for expected credit losses may be required. This process involves judgment and estimation. Accordingly, our results of operations can be affected by adjustments to the allowance due to actual write-offs that differ from estimated amounts.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our allowance for expected credit losses totaled $0.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively. During 2023, we wrote-off accounts receivable totaling $2.8 million, substantially most of which related to an insurance receivable.

Our accounts receivable balance included $402.3 million and $379.0 million related to PREPA as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which includes interest charged on delinquent balances. During the year ended December 31, 2023, PREPA paid our subsidiary Cobra approximately $22.2 million. PREPA is currently subject to bankruptcy proceedings and, as a result, their ability to meet their obligations is largely dependent upon funding from the FEMA or other sources. For a description of our collection efforts and related litigation against PREPA, see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Accounts Receivable and Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements and Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and the Industries We Serve” included elsewhere in this annual report.

We continuously review the facts and circumstances related to this receivable to determine if an allowance is needed. We believe all amounts charged to PREPA, including interest charged on delinquent accounts receivable, were in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Further, there have been multiple reviews prepared by or on behalf of FEMA that have concluded that the amounts Cobra charged PREPA were reasonable, that PREPA adhered to Puerto Rican legal statutes regarding emergency situations and that PREPA engaged in a reasonable procurement process. We believe these receivables are collectible and for the reasons previously described as well as other factors, no allowance was deemed necessary at December 31, 2023 or 2022. However, in the event PREPA (i) does not have or does not obtain the funds necessary to satisfy its obligations to Cobra under the contracts, (ii) obtains the necessary funds but refuses to pay the amounts owed to us or (iii) otherwise does not pay amounts owed to us for services performed, the receivable may not be collectible.

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional detail regarding our allowance for expected credit losses.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets on our balance sheet include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may

73

exist. We conduct impairment tests on long-lived assets, other than goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Goodwill. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more of our reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if we conclude otherwise, then we are required to perform a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded based on that difference.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2021, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. We did not recognize any impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for details regarding the facts and circumstances that led to this impairment and how the fair value of each reporting unit was estimated, including significant assumptions used and other details.

Other Long-Lived Assets. Impairment of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is evaluated by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the assets. If such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flow from the assets is not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their estimated fair values.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded impairment charges of other long-lived assets totaling $1.2 million. We did not recognize any impairment of other long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

The assumptions used in the impairment evaluation for long-lived assets are inherently uncertain and require management’s judgment. A continued period of low oil and natural gas prices or continued reductions in capital expenditures by our customers would likely have an adverse impact on our utilization and the prices that we receive for our services. This could result in the recognition of future material impairment charges on the same, or additional, property and equipment if future cash flow estimates, based upon information then available to management, indicate that their carrying values are not recoverable.

Litigation and Contingencies

As discussed in Note 20 of our consolidated financial statements, we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for litigation and contingencies are based on our assessment, including advice of legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. For matters in which a liability is probable and reasonably estimable, we accrue an estimate for the resolution of the matter. For matters in which a liability is not probable and reasonably estimable, we do not accrue any amounts. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount is reasonably estimable. Accruals are based on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, we reassess potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise previous estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations in a given period.
