    Total Revenues

    Q4 2024: $36.50M (no Q3 comparison provided)

    Total Revenues reached $36.50 million in Q4 2024, reflecting the continuation of growth initiatives. Although a direct quarter‐on‐quarter percentage change isn’t provided, the level is indicative of steady performance improvements compared to earlier periods.

    Operating Income

    Q4 2024: $18.02M (improved from lower prior figures)

    Operating Income rose to $18.02 million in Q4 2024, benefiting from revenue gains and notably improved cost management, as evidenced by significant reductions in G&A expense compared to Q3 (from $22.13M to $14.19M).

    Net Income

    Q4 2024: $8.15M (improved profitability)

    Net Income of $8.15 million in Q4 2024 reflects enhanced operational performance and disciplined expense management, offsetting other non-operating components. These improvements mark a positive turn relative to earlier periods with lower or negative net margins.

    Operating Activities Cash Generation

    Q4 2024: $26.93M (supports liquidity despite challenges)

    Operating cash flow of $26.93 million in Q4 2024 underscores efficient working capital management. This robust figure is particularly noteworthy given that it helped sustain liquidity amid very heavy investing outflows.

    Investing Outflows

    Q4 2024: –$292.33M (dramatic increase vs. modest outflows previously)

    Investing outflows surged to –$292.33 million in Q4 2024, primarily driven by significant acquisition-related expenditures. This strategic, large-scale investment in assets contrasts with much lower investing outflows in prior periods and signals an aggressive growth strategy.

    Ending Cash & Cash Equivalents

    Q4 2024: $37.03M (lower relative to cash used in investments)

    The ending cash and cash equivalents of $37.03 million in Q4 2024 reflect the balancing act between strong operating cash generation and heavy cash use in investing activities, indicating a cautious liquidity posture as funds were deployed for strategic acquisitions.

    Total Assets

    Q4 2024: $1.003B (substantial increase)

    Total Assets increased significantly to $1.003 billion in Q4 2024, primarily reflecting large acquisitions and capital investments. This asset base expansion is in stark contrast to prior periods when asset growth was more moderate, highlighting the company’s growth initiatives.

    General & Administrative Expenses

    Drop from $22.13M in Q3 to $14.19M in Q4 (≈36% decline)

    G&A expenses fell sharply from $22.13 million in Q3 to $14.19 million in Q4 2024, a roughly 36% decline. This marked improvement is attributed to stronger cost controls, reduced non-recurring expenses, and possibly lower share‐based compensation charges compared to the prior period.
