Financial Performance:
Calfrac reported Q2 2024 revenue from continuing operations at $426 million, a 9% decrease from the previous year primarily due to lower activity and pricing in the United States.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2024 was $65.4 million, reflecting a 26% decline year-over-year, again influenced by the U.S. market, but saw over a $39 million increase from Q1, attributed to better performances in North America.
Net income from continuing operations was $24.6 million, down from $50.5 million year-over-year, yet up $27.5 million from the first quarter.
Business Progress:
Calfrac's strategic initiatives included the modernization of equipment with a Tier IV fleet program and deployment of sand transportation equipment in Canada, aiming to enhance operational efficiencies and customer satisfaction.
Expansion plans in Argentina are supported by deploying additional capital and equipment due to increasing service demands exceeding local supplies.
Planned capital expenditure adjustments focused on expanding the company's fracturing fleet in Argentina and addressing maintenance needs in North America.
Opportunities:
The company is moving Tier II dual fuel frac pumps to Argentina to meet high local demand and improve asset utilization.
Expansion in Argentina anticipated to sustain or increase service demands following successful adoption of North American operational practices.
Risks:
Expectations of reduced activity levels in Q3 2024 due to advanced program completions in North America, susceptible to end-year weather conditions and customer operations.
Potential fluctuations in U.S. market activity could affect overall profitability as indicated by the shift of some work to the second half of the year.
