Q&A Highlights

- Outlook clarity: explicit 1Q 2024 revenue guide and FY 2024 revenue target commentary .

Estimates Context
- Wall Street consensus for Q4 2023 (EPS, revenue, EBITDA) via S&P Global was unavailable at time of analysis; therefore, beat/miss vs consensus cannot be determined. Values retrieved from S&P Global were unavailable due to data mapping/limits; as a result, we do not present estimate comparisons here.
- Without consensus, we anchor assessment on company-reported results and year-over-year/quarter-over-quarter trends .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Core thesis anchored in reclamation services: Q4 segment performance and Adjusted EBITDA support sustained operating momentum; continued integration benefits likely to persist .
- Operating model shift should improve scalability and capital efficiency (subcontractor model in mining, focus on larger/longer projects); monitor margin trajectory and cash conversion as these changes seasonally reallocate resources .
- Cash flow variability tied to working capital remains a watch item; Q4 CFO negative due to significant working capital changes; look for normalization in 1Q/2Q with project timing .
- Near-term revenue outlook is stable (1Q guide ~$3.5M; FY24 similar to FY23); absent consensus, stock reaction likely hinges on execution of repositioning and backlog conversion .
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is management’s primary performance metric; GAAP net income impacted by interest and non-cash corporate adjustments; focus on EBITDA and cash flows for valuation .
- Strategic branding and potential decoupling of drug development (Graphium) sharpen the impact-investing narrative (RNGE), simplifying the story for investors focused on Appalachia reclamation .
