Q: When remarketing the West Texas Pecos assets, how do the economics compare to the Dilly contract? A: (CFO) The best proxy for the economics at this point are the Dilly assets. It's possible they could be slightly better, but that would be what I would point you to at this point.
Q: Regarding the Lithium America's contract, what is the potential size of this market opportunity? A: (CFO) There is potential to go beyond 2027 in multiple phases. We feel well-positioned, and the project is pacing well. The best proxy for economics is what we've already announced. (CEO) The plan is to do a second phase, and the area has significant potential for more work.
Q: How should we think about revenue and EBIT in the first quarter and run rates for major contracts? A: (CFO) The run rate for Dilly is similar to the prior contract, roughly $50 to $55 million of annual revenue with a 40 to 50% margin. The LAC deal will have about $65 million recognized this year at a 25 to 30% margin. Q1 will have minimal Dilly contract revenue and a prorated portion of the PCC contract.
Q: Can you provide an update on the asset acquired in May 2023 and its current marketing status? A: (CEO) We are actively quoting many opportunities ranging from 250 to 5,000 beds, using existing and available fleet, including the asset mentioned. The demand for beds is high, and we are quoting projects that may require new equipment.
Q: What are the expectations for CapEx and free cash flow in 2025? A: (CFO) Free cash flow is expected to be positive, with CapEx projected to be lower than last year's $32.5 million unless a significant opportunity arises. We anticipate a short-term carrying balance on the revolver of around $40 to $50 million.
