Previous wording

We provide a suite of hospitality services for our guests in the natural resources industry, including lodging, catering and food service, housekeeping and maintenance at accommodation facilities that we or our customers own. In many cases, we provide services that support the day-to-day operations of these facilities, such as laundry, facility management and maintenance, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, communication systems, security and logistics. We also offer development activities for workforce accommodation facilities, including site selection, permitting, engineering and design, manufacturing management and site construction, along with providing hospitality services once the facility is constructed.

Current wording

We provide hospitality services to remote workforces in Australia and Canada, including catering and food service, lodging, housekeeping and maintenance at accommodation facilities that we or our customers own. We provide services that support the day-to-day operations of these facilities, such as laundry, facility management and maintenance, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, communication systems, security and logistics. We also manage development activities for workforce accommodation facilities, including site selection, permitting, engineering and design and manufacturing and site construction management, along with providing hospitality services once the facility is constructed. We primarily operate in some of the world’s most active met coal, oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and iron ore producing regions, and our customers include mining companies, major and independent oil companies, engineering companies and mining service companies. We operate in two principal reportable business segments – Australia and Canada.

Previous wording

Historically, initial demand for our hospitality services has been driven by our customers’ capital spending programs related to the construction and development of natural resource projects and associated infrastructure, as well as the exploration for oil and natural gas. Long-term demand for our services has been driven by natural resource production, maintenance and operation of those facilities as well as expansion of those sites. In general, industry capital spending programs are based on the outlook for commodity prices, production costs, economic growth, global commodity supply/demand, estimates of resource production and the expectations of our customers' shareholders. As a result, demand for our hospitality services is largely sensitive to expected commodity prices, principally related to oil, met coal, LNG and iron ore, and the resultant impact of these commodity price expectations on our customers’ spending. Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include the general global economic environment, including inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, volatility affecting the banking system and financial markets, availability of capital to the natural resource industry and regulatory changes in Canada, Australia and other markets, including governmental measures introduced to fight climate change.

Current wording

Demand for our hospitality services is driven primarily by ongoing operations of existing natural resource projects in Australia and Canada. Historically, initial demand for our hospitality services has been driven by our customers’ capital spending programs related to the construction and development of natural resource projects and associated infrastructure. Long-term demand for our services has been driven by natural resource production, maintenance, operation and expansion of those facilities. In general, industry capital spending programs are based on the outlook for commodity prices, production costs, economic growth, perceived political risk, global commodity supply/demand, reserve replacement requirements, estimates of resource production, annual maintenance requirements and the expectations of our customers' shareholders. As a result, demand for our hospitality services is sensitive to expected commodity prices, principally related to met coal, oil, iron ore and LNG, and the resultant impact of these commodity price expectations on our customers’ spending.

Previous wording

There is continued uncertainty around commodity price levels, including the impact of inflationary pressures, actions taken by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus (OPEC+) to adjust production levels, geopolitical events such as the ongoing Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas conflicts and rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East, U.S. oil production levels and regulatory implications on such prices. In particular, these items could cause our Canadian oil sands and pipeline customers to reduce production, delay expansionary and maintenance spending and defer additional investments in their oil sands assets.

Current wording

There is continued uncertainty around commodity price levels, driven by many factors, including rising fears of a recession resulting from lingering inflation and higher interest rates, an economic slowdown in China and resultant economic stimulus by the Chinese government, the impact of inflationary pressures, actions taken by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus (OPEC+) to adjust oil production levels, geopolitical events such as the ongoing Russia/Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, U.S. oil production levels and regulatory implications on such prices. In particular, these items could cause our Canadian oil sands and pipeline customers to delay expansionary and maintenance spending and defer additional investments in their oil sands assets and in extreme cases reduce production.

Met Coal. In Australia, 84% of our rooms are located in the Bowen Basin of Queensland, Australia and primarily serve met coal mines in that region. Met coal pricing and production growth in the Bowen Basin region is predominantly influenced by the level of global steel production, which decreased by 0.1% during 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease year-over-year was the result of weaker production in December 2023 from China, offset by stronger production throughout 2023 from both Europe and Russia. As of February 23, 2024, met coal spot prices were $311.40 per tonne. Steel output is forecast to improve marginally through 2024, with large infrastructure rollouts in a number of major economies including the U.S. and India.

Current wording

Met Coal. In Australia, 84% of our rooms are located in the Bowen Basin of Queensland, Australia and primarily serve met coal mines in that region. Met coal pricing and production growth in the Bowen Basin region is predominantly influenced by the level of global steel production. Following negative growth from July through September 2024, production increased in the last quarter of 2024, reaching similar levels when compared to the same period in 2023. The turnaround in positive production growth in the last quarter of 2024 was driven by India’s steady steel production and a return to positive steel production growth in China. Global steel production during 2024 decreased by 0.9% compared with 2023. As of February 21, 2025, met coal spot prices were $188.50 per tonne. Steel demand is expected to increase marginally in 2025 compared to 2024 driven by continued improvements in demand from India.

WTI Crude. After reaching historic lows in early 2020 during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, global oil prices increased to above $100 per barrel in the second quarter 2022. In the second half of 2022 and throughout 2023, oil prices declined due to (i) rising fears of a recession resulting from severe inflation and rising interest rates, (ii) resulting lower demand for oil and (iii) increasing U.S. oil production. In an effort to support the price of oil amidst demand concerns, OPEC+ countries announced additional oil production cuts through the end of 2023. These production cuts, coupled with the rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East, resulted in increased oil prices in the third quarter and early part of the fourth quarter of 2023, before reducing in the latter part of the fourth quarter back to levels consistent with the first six months of 2023.

Current wording

WTI Crude. After reaching historic lows in early 2020 during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, global oil prices increased to above $100 per barrel in the second quarter 2022. In the second half of 2022 and throughout 2023, oil prices generally declined due to (i) rising fears of a recession resulting from severe inflation and higher interest rates, (ii) resulting lower demand for oil and (iii) increasing U.S. oil production. In an effort to support the price of oil amidst demand concerns, OPEC+ countries extended their 2023 oil production cuts throughout 2024. These production cuts, coupled with the rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East, resulted in rising oil prices during the first half of 2024. Oil prices decreased during the second half of 2024 due to increased market concerns over economic growth and demand. OPEC+ is expected to increase production in 2025, likely putting pressure on global oil prices.

Previous wording

Certain expansionary oil pipeline projects have the potential to both drive incremental demand for mobile assets and to improve take-away capacity for Canadian oil sands producers over the longer term. The Enbridge Line 3 replacement project was completed at the end of 2021 and the Trans Mountain Pipeline is approximately 98% complete, with mechanical completion expected to occur in the first quarter 2024, commercial service expected to begin in April 2024 and volumes expected to ramp up to full capacity by year end 2024.

WCS prices in the fourth quarter of 2023 averaged $55.31 per barrel compared to an average of $54.72 in the fourth quarter of 2022. The WCS Differential decreased from $27.39 per barrel at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 to $19.35 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. As of February 23, 2024, the WTI price was $77.54 and the WCS price was $58.60, resulting in a WCS Differential of $18.94.

Current wording

WCS prices in the fourth quarter of 2024 averaged $57.50 per barrel compared to an average of $55.31 in the fourth quarter of 2023. The WCS Differential decreased from $19.35 per barrel at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 to $13.49 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. As of February 21, 2025, the WTI price was $70.58 and the WCS price was $57.24, resulting in a WCS Differential of $13.34. Further, the Trump Administration has announced and is in the process of implementing a 10% tariff on energy resources imported to the U.S. from Canada. This tariff could widen the WCS differential and reduce Canadian oil producers' production and profits.

Labor Shortages. In addition to the macro inflationary impacts on labor costs noted above, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were, and continue to be, impacted by increased staff costs as a result of hospitality labor shortages in Australia as government-imposed and voluntary social distancing and quarantining impacted travel. This labor shortage has been exacerbated by significantly reduced migration in and around Australia affecting labor availability, which has subsequently led to an increased reliance on more expensive temporary labor resources.

Currently, Western Canada does not have any operational LNG export facilities. LNG Canada (LNGC), a joint venture among Shell Canada Energy, an affiliate of Shell plc (40 percent), and affiliates of PETRONAS, through its wholly-owned entity, North Montney LNG Limited Partnership (25 percent), PetroChina (15 percent), Mitsubishi Corporation (15 percent) and Korea Gas Corporation (5 percent), is currently constructing a liquefaction and export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia (Kitimat LNG Facility). The Kitimat LNG Facility is nearing completion and expected to be operational in 2024. British Columbia LNG activity and related pipeline projects are a material driver of activity for our Sitka Lodge, as well as for our mobile assets, which were contracted to serve several designated portions of the related pipeline construction activity. The majority of our contracted commitments associated with the Coastal GasLink Pipeline, the pipeline constructed to transport natural gas feedstock to LNGC, were completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Current wording

LNG. Our Sitka Lodge supports the LNG Canada (LNGC) project and related pipeline projects (specifically, the Coastal GasLink Pipeline, the pipeline constructed to transport natural gas feedstock to LNGC). LNGC, a joint venture among Shell Canada Energy, an affiliate of Shell plc (40 percent), and affiliates of PETRONAS, through its wholly-owned entity, North Montney LNG Limited Partnership (25 percent), PetroChina (15 percent), Mitsubishi Corporation (15 percent) and Korea Gas Corporation (5 percent), is currently constructing a liquefaction and export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia (Kitimat LNG Facility). Construction activity of Phase 1 of the Kitimat LNG Facility is nearing completion, with commercial operations expected to begin in mid-2025. The Coastal GasLink Pipeline was completed in 2024 and entered commercial operations. The majority of our contracted commitments associated with the Coastal GasLink Pipeline were completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. As such, we expect continued lower occupancy at our Sitka Lodge in the near-term until subsequent phases of the LNGC project are approved and commence, or additional construction activity in the region, drive increased occupancy demand.

Previous wording

LNG. Our Sitka Lodge supports the LNG Canada project and related pipeline projects. From a macroeconomic standpoint, LNG demand has continued to grow, reinforcing the need for the global LNG industry to expand access to natural gas. Evolving government energy policies around the world have amplified support for cleaner energy supply, creating more opportunities for natural gas and LNG. The conflict between Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas has further highlighted the need for secure natural gas supply globally, particularly in Europe. Accordingly, additional investment in LNG supply will be needed to meet the resulting expected long-term LNG demand growth.

McClelland Lake Lodge. We did not renew an expiring land lease associated with our McClelland Lake Lodge in Alberta, Canada, which expired in June 2023, in order to support our customer’s intent to mine the land where the lodge was located. In addition, the accompanying hospitality services contract at McClelland Lake Lodge expired in July 2023; however, we continued to provide hospitality services to the customer at our other owned lodges through January 31, 2024 under a short-term take-or-pay commitment. Subsequent to this date, we have continued to provide such services at our other lodges; however, not pursuant to a take-or-pay commitment. Our assets were demobilized and completely removed from the existing site in January 2024. During the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our McClelland Lake Lodge assets to a U.S.-based mining project for approximately C$49 million, or US$36 million. The transaction was completed in January 2024. During the third and fourth quarters of 2023, we recognized $14.2 million in demobilization costs and received $28.2 million in cash proceeds associated with the sale. We expect to recognize the remaining demobilization costs and the proceeds of the sale in the first quarter of 2024.

Capital Expenditures. We continue to monitor the global economy, commodity prices, demand for crude oil, met coal, LNG and iron ore, inflation and the resultant impact on the capital spending plans of our customers in order to plan our business activities. We currently expect that our 2024 capital expenditures will be in the range of approximately $30 million to $35 million, compared to 2023 capital expenditures of $31.6 million. Our 2023 capital expenditures included approximately $10 million related to village enhancements in Australia, for which our customer has reimbursed us, resulting in a net negligible cash flow impact in 2023 for these expenditures. We may adjust our capital expenditure plans in the future as we continue to monitor customer activity.

Previous wording

Revenues. Consolidated revenues increased $3.8 million, or 1%, in 2023 compared to 2022. This increase was primarily due to (i) increased occupancy at our Civeo owned villages in the Australian Bowen Basin and Gunnedah Basin and (ii) increased activity at our integrated services villages in Western Australia. These items were partially offset by (i) decreased mobile asset activity from pipeline projects in Canada, (ii) lower billed rooms at our Canadian lodges, (iii) reduced activity in the U.S. operations due to the sale of our wellsite and offshore businesses in the second half of 2022 and (iv) a weaker Australian and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2023 compared to 2022. See the discussion of segment results of operations below for further information.

Current wording

Revenues. Consolidated revenues decreased $18.7 million, or 3%, in 2024 compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily due to reduced mobile asset activity from pipeline projects in Canada which were largely completed in 2023 and lower year-over-year occupancy at certain lodges in Canada. These items were partially offset by increased activity at our Civeo owned villages in the Australian Bowen Basin and new business in our integrated services villages in Western Australia. See below for further discussion of segment results of operations.

Previous wording

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expense increased $2.6 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation expense of $2.4 million, higher information technology expense of $2.3 million and higher incentive compensation costs of $2.0 million. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to increased staff and recruitment costs. The increase in information technology expense was related to ongoing investment in our newly implemented human capital management (HCM) system and set-up costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement for the HCM system, which are being amortized through SG&A expense instead of depreciation and amortization expense. These items were partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense of $3.9 million and a weaker Australian and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2023 compared to 2022 resulted in a $2.1 million decrease in SG&A expense. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was due to a relative decrease in our share price during 2023 compared to 2022.

Current wording

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expense increased $0.7 million, or 1%, in 2024 compared to 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation expense of $5.4 million, higher professional fees of $2.6 million and higher travel and entertainment costs of $0.9 million. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to $1.1 million in severance costs related to the departure of our former Chief Financial Officer, other severance costs and increased staff and associated recruitment costs. These items were partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs of $5.6 million, lower share-based compensation expense of $2.8 million and a weaker Australian and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2024 compared to 2023. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to forfeitures, reduced performance share expense due to a lower probability of achieving performance criteria during 2024 compared to 2023 and changes in our share price during 2024 compared to 2023.

Previous wording

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12.1 million, or 14%, in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the sale of our wellsite and offshore businesses in the U.S. in the second half of 2022, (ii) certain assets becoming fully depreciated in Canada in the second quarter of 2023 and (iii) lower depreciation and amortization expense due to a weaker Australian and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2023 compared to 2022. This was partially offset by the shortening of the useful lives on certain assets in Canada, including the McClelland Lake Lodge.

Current wording

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $7.1 million, or 9%, in 2024 compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated in Canada, including the McClelland Lake Lodge, in 2023 and lower depreciation and amortization expense due to a weaker Australian and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2024 compared to 2023. These items were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense due to additional property, plant and equipment placed in service during 2024.

Previous wording

Impairment Expense. We recorded pre-tax impairment expense of $1.4 million in 2023 associated with long-lived assets in the U.S. We recorded pre-tax impairment expense of $5.7 million in 2022 associated with long-lived assets in the U.S. and our Australian reporting unit.

Gain on Sale of McClelland Lake Lodge Assets, net. We recorded $18.6 million in 2023 related to net gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge. The remaining net gains related to the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge will be recognized in the first quarter of 2024.

Current wording

Gain on Sale of McClelland Lake Lodge Assets, net. We recorded $5.7 million and $18.6 million in net gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous wording

Operating Income. Operating income increased $22.5 million, or 132%, in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to a net gain on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets, higher activity levels in Australia and lower depreciation and amortization and impairment expenses in 2023 compared to 2022. These items were partially offset by reduced mobile asset activity in Canada and increased operating costs due to inflationary pressures in 2023 compared to 2022.

Current wording

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $38.2 million, or 97%, in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to reduced mobile asset activity and lower lodge occupancy in Canada, higher impairment expenses and lower gain on sale of McClelland Lake Lodge assets in 2024 compared to 2023. These items were partially offset by higher activity levels in Australia and lower depreciation and amortization expense in 2024 compared to 2023.

Previous wording

Interest (Expense) Income, net. Net interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 14%, in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily related to higher interest rates on credit facility borrowings during 2023 compared to 2022, partially offset by lower average debt levels.

Current wording

Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense decreased $5.2 million, or 40%, in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily related to lower average debt levels during 2024 compared to 2023, which decreased approximately 35%.

Previous wording

Other Income. Consolidated other income increased $8.7 million, or 170%, in 2023 compared to 2022. Other income in 2023 included $9.7 million in reimbursements associated with the dismantlement of the McClelland Lake Lodge. In addition, 2023 included gains related to the sale of our Acadian Acres accommodation assets in the U.S. and a gain on the settlement of an ARO in Canada. Other income in 2022 included $4.7 million in gains on the sale of assets primarily related to our Kambalda village and undeveloped land holdings in Australia, our wellsite and offshore businesses in the U.S. and various mobile assets across Canada, Australia and the U.S.

Current wording

Other Income. Consolidated other income decreased $13.4 million, or 96%, in 2024 compared to 2023. Other income in 2023 included $9.7 million in reimbursements associated with the dismantlement of the McClelland Lake Lodge. In addition, 2023 included gains related to the sale of our Acadian Acres accommodation assets in the U.S. and a gain on the settlement of asset retirement obligation in Canada. Other income in 2024 included $0.7 million in gains on sale of various assets in Canada and Australia.

Previous wording

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Our income tax expense for 2023 totaled $10.6 million, or 26.3% of pretax income, compared to an expense of $4.4 million, or 41.0% of pretax income for 2022. Our effective tax rate for 2023 and 2022 was higher than the Canadian federal statutory rate of 15%, primarily due to pre-tax income in Australia being taxed at the higher Australian income tax rate of 30%. Additionally, due to the full valuation allowances maintained in both Canada and the U.S., no tax expense or benefit was recorded related to pre-tax income in Canada and the U.S. In 2023, tax expense in Canada and the U.S. was offset by a valuation allowance release of $1.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In 2022, tax expense in Canada was offset by a valuation allowance release of $0.6 million and the tax benefit in the U.S. was offset by an increase to the valuation allowance of $1.0 million.

Current wording

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense for 2024 totaled $12.5 million, or (210.4)% of pretax loss, compared to an expense of $10.6 million, or 26.3% of pretax income for 2023. Our effective tax rate for 2024 was lower than the Canadian federal statutory rate of 15% primarily due to pre-tax losses in Canada with no corresponding tax benefit. Our effective tax rate for 2023 was higher than the Canadian federal statutory rate of 15%, primarily due to pre-tax income in Australia being taxed at the higher Australian income tax rate of 30%. Full valuation allowances are maintained against net deferred tax assets in both Canada and the U.S. In 2024, the tax benefit in Canada was offset by an increase to the valuation allowance of $8.5 million and a deferred tax benefit in Australia was offset by an increase to the valuation allowance of $0.6 million. In 2023, tax expense in Canada and the U.S. was offset by a valuation allowance release of $1.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The weakening of the average exchange rate for Australian dollars relative to the U.S. dollar by 4.3% in the 2023 compared to 2022 resulted in a $14.9 million period-over-period decrease in revenues. Excluding the impact of the weaker Australian exchange rate, the increase in the Australian segment was driven by increased activity at our Civeo owned villages in the Bowen Basin and Gunnedah Basin and our integrated services villages in Western Australia.

Current wording

Our Australian segment reported revenues in 2024 that were $90.2 million, or 27%, higher than in 2023. The increase in the Australian segment was driven by increased activity at our Civeo owned villages in the Bowen Basin and new business in our integrated services villages in Western Australia. Billed rooms in Civeo-owned villages were up 6.4% in 2024 due to increased activity in the Bowen Basin, Western Australia and Gunnedah Basin coupled with recent contract renewals and extensions.

Previous wording

Our Australian segment cost of sales and services increased $42.1 million, or 21%, in 2023 compared to 2022. The weakening of the average exchange rate for Australian dollars relative to the U.S. dollar by 4.3% in 2023 compared to 2022 resulted in a $10.8 million period-over-period decrease in cost of sales and services. Excluding the impact of the weaker Australian exchange rate, the increase in cost of sales and services was largely driven by increased occupancy at our Civeo owned villages in the Bowen Basin and Gunnedah Basin and our integrated services villages in Western Australia and increased operating costs due to inflationary pressures.

Current wording

Our Australian segment cost of sales and services increased $72.4 million, or 30%, in 2024 compared to 2023. The increase in cost of sales and services was largely driven by increased occupancy at our Civeo owned villages in the Bowen Basin and new business in our integrated services villages in Western Australia and the associated overhead costs.

Previous wording

Our Australian segment gross margin as a percentage of revenues remained constant at 27.8% in both 2023 and 2022. The increased revenue contribution in 2023 from our integrated services business, which has a service only-business model and therefore generates lower overall margins than our accommodation business, had a negative impact on margins in 2023. This negative impact was offset by improved margins at Civeo owned villages in the Bowen Basin and Gunnedah Basin as a result of increased activity and improved margins in the integrated services business due to reduced costs realized from our inflation mitigation plan in the year.

Current wording

Our Australian segment gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased from 27.8% in 2023 to 26.1% in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by an increased relative revenue contribution from our integrated services business, which has a service-only business model and therefore generates lower overall gross margins than our accommodation business. The reduced gross margin was partially offset by improved profitability across our integrated services villages in 2024.

Our Canadian segment reported revenues in 2023 that were $43.2 million, or 11%, lower than 2022. The weakening of the average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar by 3.6% in 2023 compared to 2022 resulted in a $13.9 million period-over-period decrease in revenues. Excluding the impact of the weaker Canadian exchange rate, the revenue decrease was driven by (i) reduced mobile asset activity from pipeline projects and (ii) lower billed rooms at our lodges.

Current wording

Our Canadian segment reported revenues in 2024 that were $107.7 million, or 31%, lower than 2023. The weakening of the average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar by 1.5% in 2024 compared to 2023 resulted in a $3.1 million period-over-period decrease in revenues. Excluding the impact of the weaker Canadian exchange rate, the revenue decrease was driven by (i) reduced mobile asset activity from pipeline projects which were largely completed in 2023, (ii) lower billed rooms at our oil sands lodges due to the timing and extent of maintenance activity by our customers, (iii) reduced occupancy associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge and (iv) reduced occupancy at our Sitka Lodge as the Kitimat LNG facility nears completion.

Previous wording

Our Canadian segment cost of sales and services decreased $16.5 million, or 6%, in 2023 compared to 2022. The weakening of the average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar by 3.6% in 2023 compared to 2022 resulted in a $10.8 million period-over-period decrease in cost of sales and services. Excluding the impact of the weaker Canadian exchange rate, the decrease in cost of sales and services was driven by lower costs related to the reduced mobile asset activity and reduced activity at certain lodges.

Current wording

Our Canadian segment cost of sales and services decreased $69.9 million, or 25%, in 2024 compared to 2023. The weakening of the average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar by 1.5% in 2024 compared to 2023 resulted in a $2.8 million period-over-period decrease in cost of sales and services. Excluding the impact of the weaker Canadian exchange rate, the decrease in cost of sales and services was driven by lower costs related to the reduced mobile asset activity from pipeline projects which were largely completed in 2023 and lower costs at various lodges due to reduced occupancy levels.

Previous wording

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures, which in the past have included expanding and improving our hospitality services, developing new lodges and villages and purchasing or leasing land, to pay dividends, to repurchase common shares and for general working capital needs. In addition, capital has been used to repay debt and fund strategic business acquisitions. In the future, capital may be required to move lodges from one site to another. Historically, our primary sources of funds have been available cash, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Credit Agreement and proceeds from equity issuances. In the future, we may seek to access the debt and equity capital markets from time to time to raise additional capital, increase liquidity, fund acquisitions or refinance debt.

Previous wording

Cash totaling $96.6 million was provided by operations during 2023 compared to $91.8 million provided by operations during 2022. During 2023 and 2022, net cash used for working capital was $1.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used for working capital in 2023 compared to 2022 is largely due to payments received from a customer for village enhancements in Australia and other working capital changes driven by timing of receipts and payments during 2023 compared to 2022.

Current wording

Cash totaling $83.5 million was provided by operations during 2024 compared to $96.6 million provided by operations during 2023. During 2024 and 2023, $31.8 million was provided by working capital and $1.6 million was used in working capital, respectively. The year-over-year increase in cash provided by working capital in 2024 compared to 2023 is largely due to the collection of holdbacks in Canada related to the completion of mobile asset pipeline projects during 2024 compared to 2023, partially offset by decreased accounts payable and accrual balances.

Previous wording

Cash used in investing activities during 2023 totaled $14.5 million compared to cash used in investing activities during 2022 of $8.9 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $31.6 million and $25.4 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily related to maintenance. In addition, our 2023 capital expenditures included approximately $10 million related to customer-funded infrastructure upgrades in Australia.

Current wording

Cash used in investing activities during 2024 totaled $14.9 million compared to cash used in investing activities during 2023 of $14.5 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. We received net proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $11.0 million during 2024 related to the sale of our McClelland Lake Lodge accommodation assets in Canada and the sale of our Louisiana land in the U.S., compared to $16.7 million during 2023 primarily related to the sale of our McClelland Lake Lodge accommodation assets in Canada and Louisiana accommodation assets in the U.S. Capital expenditures totaled $26.1 million and $31.6 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily related to maintenance. In addition, our 2024 capital expenditures included approximately $2.9 million related to customer-funded infrastructure upgrades in Australia compared to $10.0 million in 2023.
