Total Energy’s results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 represent record quarterly financial results. Substantial share repurchases over the past year amplified the results on a fully diluted per share basis. Underpinning these record results were stable industry conditions in Canada and Australia, the acquisition of Saxon Energy Services Australia Pty Ltd. (“Saxon”) on March 7, 2024 and continued strong North American demand for compression and process equipment that more than offset a year over year decline in drilling and completion activity in the United States.

Canadian drilling activity during the third quarter of 2024 was relatively consistent with 2023 while United States activity continued to lag the prior year. Canadian operating days were negatively impacted when an AC double drilling rig was damaged in July during transit. The rig returned to service in mid-October following completion of repairs. In Australia, Saxon contributed $20.2 million of revenue during the third quarter of 2024. Included in 2023 third quarter segment EBITDA was a $4.1 million realized foreign exchange gain on settlement of intercompany notes. Excluding the effect of this foreign exchange gain, third quarter segment EBITDA increased 17% as compared to 2023 and the segment EBITDA margin increased from 23% to 24%. The substantial year over year increase in third quarter Australian revenue per operating day reflects the addition of Saxon’s deeper drilling rig fleet which receives higher day rates.

Third quarter revenue in the RTS segment decreased as compared to 2023 due to lower United States revenue. While United States equipment utilization increased slightly, lower pricing due to competitive market conditions and the mix of equipment operating contributed to a year over year decline in third quarter revenue. Despite the decline in segment revenue, effective cost management resulted in higher third quarter EBITDA and EBITDA margins as compared to 2023.

(2) Rental equipment utilization is measured on a horsepower basis.
CPS segment revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was consistent with 2023 and decreased during the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Improved fabrication efficiencies and a significant increase in compression horsepower on rent contributed to the year over year increase in segment EBITDA and EBITDA margin. The quarter end fabrication sales backlog increased by $36.1 million compared to the $152.9 million backlog at September 30, 2023 and decreased sequentially by $15.6 million from the $204.6 million sales backlog at June 30, 2024.

(2) Service hours is defined as well servicing hours of service provided to customers and includes paid rig move and standby.
(3) The Company reports its service rig utilization for its operational service rigs in North America based on service hours of 3,650 per rig per year to reflect standard 10 hour operations per day. Utilization for the Company’s service rigs in Australia is calculated based on service hours of 8,760 per rig per year to reflect standard 24 hour operations.
Third quarter WS segment revenue increased in 2024 as compared to 2023 due to increased activity in Canada and Australia that offset a substantial decline in United States activity. Segment EBITDA was modestly lower as higher operating income in Canada and Australia was more than offset by the decline in United States operating income. Activity levels in the United States were significantly lower due in part to significant customer consolidation. Increased pricing and utilization in Australia was due to the deployment of upgraded rigs.
Corporate
During the third quarter of 2024, Total Energy remained focused on the safe and efficient operation of its business, execution of its 2024 capital expenditure program and the integration of the Saxon acquisition. Including the acquisition of Saxon, $112.4 million of capital expenditures have been funded to September 30, 2024.
Total Energy exited the third quarter of 2024 with $97.3 million of positive working capital, including $61.9 million of cash, and $80 million of available credit under its $175 million of revolving bank credit facilities. Included in current liabilities is a $41.5 million mortgage loan that matures in April of 2025. Total Energy expects to repay this debt at maturity when approximately $40.2 million of principal will be outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding debt at September 30, 2024 was 5.26%.
Outlook
Despite continued global economic uncertainty and commodity price volatility, industry conditions remain relatively stable. Contributing to this stability is continued investment to increase North American LNG export capacity, a strong Asian LNG market and the recent completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in Canada. Total Energy’s efforts to grow its Australian business continued in the third quarter when two drilling rigs and a service rig commenced operations under long term contracts.
Total Energy continues to see opportunities to upgrade and reactivate equipment as well as targeted opportunities to build new equipment. In that regard, the Board of Directors has approved a $19.8 million increase to the Company’s 2024 capital expenditure budget to $86.1 million. $13.1 million of this increase is directed towards growth opportunities, including the upgrade of two Saxon drilling rigs and one service rig in Australia that will be deployed in the first quarter of 2025 under long term contracts. Also included in growth capital is $1.0 million of new rental equipment for the RTS segment that will be deployed during the fourth quarter of 2024. The remaining $6.7 million includes the purchase of new drill pipe and an operating facility currently leased by the RTS segment in the United States as well as drilling rig recertifications. Including this increase, $14.2 million of capital commitments carried forward from 2023 and the acquisition of Saxon, projected 2024 capital expenditures total $147.7 million, of which $112.4 million has been funded to September 30, 2024. The Company expects to fund the remaining $35.3 million of capital commitments with cash on hand and cashflow, with approximately $10.0 million expected to be funded in 2025.

Notes to the Financial Highlights
(1) EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is equal to net income (loss) before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company’s primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company’s primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Total Energy’s performance. Total Energy’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.
(2) Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities.
(3) Net Debt equals long-term debt plus lease liabilities plus current liabilities minus current assets. Management believes this measure provides a useful indication of the Company’s liquidity.
(4) Basic and diluted shares outstanding reflect the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. See note 6 to the Company’s Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain statements contained in this press release, including statements which may contain words such as “could”, “should”, “expect”, “believe”, “will” and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.
