Current report
•Sand revenue was 17% lower at $62.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 versus $74.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The lower sand revenue was due to lower sand volumes sold along with lower average sand prices.
Current report
Gross profit was $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decline in profitability for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the combination of lower sales volumes and lower average sales prices on our products.

During 2023 and through the second quarter of 2024, supply and demand for Northern White Sand has been in relative balance. We saw an increase in the volume of sand sold in the first half of 2023 followed by a slowdown in activity later in the year due to customers having frontloaded their budgeted spending earlier in the year. Activity has improved in the first half of 2024 as customers ramped up activity based on 2024 budget plans. Pricing for sand has trended downward since the second half

of 2023 due to stabilized supply and demand. High levels of inflation led to increasing operating expenses in 2023, which have continued at increased levels through the first half of 2024. Softening economic activities in certain countries, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, along with President Biden’s pause on liquified natural gas permits could impact oil and natural gas prices and overall oil and gas activity thereby leading to substantial volatility in demand and pricing in the future. The continued volatility in oil and natural gas demand and the current availability of sufficient supply of sand has led to continued reluctance by some customers to enter into long-term contracts. As such, some customers have instead trended toward purchasing their frac sand supply in the spot market or under short term supply agreements at current market prices. We cannot predict macroeconomic events or if pricing trends for our products will continue, increase, decrease or stabilize.

Previous wording
Supplies of high-quality Northern White frac sand are limited to select areas, predominantly in western Wisconsin and limited areas of Minnesota and Illinois. We believe the ability to obtain large contiguous reserves in these areas is a key constraint and can be an important supply consideration when assessing the economic viability of a potential frac sand processing facility. Further constraining the supply and throughput of Northern White frac sand is that not all of the large reserve mines have on-site excavation, processing or logistics capabilities, which impact the long-term competitiveness of these mines due to lower efficiency and higher cost structures. Historically, much of the capital investment in Northern White frac sand mines was used for the development of coarser deposits in western Wisconsin, which is inconsistent with the increasing demand for finer mesh frac sand in recent years. As such, competitors in the Northern White frac sand market have shuttered or idled operations at certain facilities due to the higher demand for finer sands and due to lower cost regional sand sources that has eroded the ongoing economic viability of mines with coarser reserve deposits and inefficient mining and logistics facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to cost reduction measures put in place by management, which were partially offset by additional costs incurred related to financing activities. Additionally, in the first half of 2023, we recorded a $1.9 million net loss on disposal of fixed assets as we reconfigured one of our wet plants to increase the efficiency of its operations and upgraded some of our mining equipment.
Current wording
Selling, general and administrative expenses were consistent in total at $28.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cost reduction efforts in most SG&A accounts were largely offset by higher royalties on larger sales volumes and bank and legal fees associated with the refinancing of our Former ABL Credit Facility. Additionally, in September 2024, we closed our Saskatoon manufacturing facility and disposed of fixed assets there and recorded a net loss on the disposal of $1.1 million, compared to a $1.9 million net loss on disposal of fixed assets in 2023 as we reconfigured one of our wet plants to increase the efficiency of its operations and upgraded some of our mining equipment.

Current wording
Net loss was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to net income of $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit was negatively affected in the current period by the decline in sales.
Previous wording
Contribution margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Gross profit is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to contribution margin, net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider contribution margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because contribution margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Contribution margin was $19.8 million and $19.0 million, or $15.53 and $17.57 per ton sold, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contribution margin was $38.3 million and $36.8 million, or $14.67 and $16.17 per ton sold, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in overall contribution margin for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023, was primarily due to higher tons sold and the increased utilization of our SmartSystems fleet, as well as our focus on cost reduction measures throughout the Company.
Current wording
Contribution margin was $13.2 million and $21.0 million, or $11.09 and $17.20 per ton sold, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contribution margin was $51.5 million and $57.8 million, or $13.55 and $16.53 per ton sold, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decline in overall contribution margin for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023, was primarily due to lower average selling price of our sand, partially mitigated by cost reduction measures throughout the Company.
Previous wording
Adjusted EBITDA was $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher utilization of our SmartSystems fleet.
Current wording
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The lower Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to the combination of lower sales volumes and lower average sales prices of our sand. Adjusted EBITDA was $26.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to lower average sales prices of our sand.
Previous wording
Free cash flow was $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Free cash flow was $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The strong free cash flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to management’s focus on reducing costs to operate and capital expenditures. Working capital pressure has also lessened as tons sold has remained consistently strong in the second quarter of 2024.
Current wording
Free cash flow was $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Free cash flow was $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The positive free cash flow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to management’s focus on reducing operating expenses and focus on lower capital expenditures. The decline in average selling prices in 2024 has negatively affected free cash flow.
Previous wording
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operations and availability under our ABL Credit Facility and other equipment financing sources. As of June 30, 2024, cash on hand was $6.3 million and we had $18.0 million in undrawn availability on our ABL Credit Facility. We are in the process of refinancing this facility.
Current wording
In September 2024 we refinanced our former $20.0 million ABL facility to a new $30.0 million FCB ABL facility. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operations and availability under our FCB ABL Credit Facility and other equipment financing sources. As of September 30, 2024, cash on hand was $7.2 million and we had $30.0 million in undrawn availability on our FCB ABL Credit Facility.
Previous wording
We expect full year 2024 capital expenditures to be between $10.0 million and $13.0 million. Our expected capital expenditures for 2024 are primarily for process improvement and efficiency projects at our mine sites, upgrading mining equipment and the build out of our new Ohio terminals.
