Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "Revenue and adjusted EBITDA both came within our guidance range, and adjusted EBITDA margins held steady at approximately 13%. We delivered robust free cash in the quarter of $21 million and announced the redemption and repurchase of $73 million of our 2025 Notes. Following our strong first half results, we are raising our full year 2024 free cash flow guidance to between $50 and $70 million. We are committed to retiring the outstanding balance of our 2025 Notes and the Variperm Seller Term Loan around the middle of 2025.

"Canadian and international market outlook remains in line with our expectations. U.S. rig count and hydraulic fracturing activity trended down during the second quarter and are expected to continue their decline in the second half. For the year, we now expect U.S. rig count to be down 15%. This represents a greater decline compared with our initial expectation of a 5% decrease. However, our international footprint, the Variperm acquisition, and benefits from our "beat-the-market" strategy should mitigate this U.S. industry softness. Therefore, we are maintaining the bottom end of our guidance, but adjusting down the top end by $10 million. Our full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance is now $100 to $110 million."
