Executive Summary

Q2 2025 results were markedly weaker year over year as government revenues fell after PCC and STFRC terminations; revenue was $61.6M, adjusted EBITDA $3.5M, and diluted EPS was -$0.15 .
Management raised FY 2025 guidance to revenue of $310–$320M and adjusted EBITDA of $50–$60M, supported by scope expansion of the Workforce Hub contract and a PCC settlement payment; prior guidance was $265–$285M and $47–$57M, respectively .
Strategic diversification advanced: a multi‑year data center community contract announced Aug 18 (initial term through Sep 2027) with ~$43M minimum revenue and ~$5M in 2025, minimal net capex of $6–$9M .
Government segment ramp (Dilley) continues; full operations expected by September with 2025 revenue of ~ $30M on a fixed monthly structure, initially margin‑light during ramp .
Potential stock catalysts: visible guidance raise, closing and ramp of the data center contract, Dilley fully on‑line, and monetization/recontracting of West Texas assets (SecureFlex option) .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

What Went Wrong

Government segment revenue collapse YoY due to PCC termination (Feb 21, 2025) and STFRC termination (Aug 9, 2024); Q2 government revenue fell to $7.5M and adjusted gross profit was -$1.1M .
Q2 consolidated profitability compressed: adjusted EBITDA $3.5M vs $52.2M in Q2 2024; operating loss of $(16.9)M reflecting lower revenue and higher construction‑related operating costs .

Management Commentary

CEO vision: “We have made remarkable progress in our strategic initiatives to expand and diversify Target’s business portfolio... an unprecedented domestic investment cycle and increased demand in the government sector supports the most robust growth pipeline we've seen in years.” .
Data center opportunity: “This is imminent... starting to fully mobilize... has the ability to be… a game changer for our company.” .
Government dynamics: “With the passage of the 2025 reconciliation bill in July, the U.S. government has allocated $45,000,000,000 towards specific border security initiatives... predicting the timing of a specific contract award is difficult.” .
Dilley structure: “This contract is based on fixed monthly revenue regardless of occupancy... expected to produce approximately $30,000,000 in revenue in 2025... fully operational by September 2025.” .
SecureFlex: “The name of that is SecureFlex... gives us another optionality... we’ve quoted on new builds for part of this 100,000 room expansion.” .

Q&A Highlights

West Texas timeline: Management affirmed continued high interest and inclusion on the government acquisition list; key gating factor is funding flow timing post budget passage .
Data center contract structure: Leasing/services agreement with Target owning assets; expected margins higher than services‑only contracts; early works already underway; multi‑year duration .
Guidance drivers: Raised FY outlook driven by Workforce Hub scope expansion (to ~$154M) and ~$11.8M PCC settlement; timing shifts move services revenue into 2026 .
Carrying costs: Maintaining West Texas assets in ready state entails ~$2–$3M per quarter until recontracting .
Bed capacity need: Government needs at least ~100,000 additional beds; Target positioning SecureFlex and existing assets to participate .

Estimates Context

S&P Global Wall Street consensus for Q2 2025 was unavailable for TH; as a result, we cannot quantify beats/misses versus consensus this quarter.*
Implication: Sell‑side models may need to incorporate the raised FY revenue/EBITDA outlook, Workforce Hub scope/timing shifts, the PCC settlement, and initial data center contract economics once disclosed .

Key Takeaways for Investors

Guidance raised despite Q2 revenue/margin compression; the pivot to construction/services mix and new verticals should begin to normalize EBITDA trajectory into H2 and 2026 as Dilley and the Workforce Hub transition from build to service phases .
The signed data center contract validates TH’s diversification strategy; additional wins in AI/tech infrastructure could structurally lift margins (leasing/services with owned assets) and improve utilization of excess capacity .
Near‑term headwinds persist until Dilley fully operational (September) and government appropriations flow; management’s commentary suggests multiple avenues to monetize West Texas and SecureFlex .
Liquidity and low leverage provide optionality to fund growth (capex, asset redeployments) while absorbing ramp‑related margin dilution; capex discipline remains a focus .
Watch for Q3/Q4 cadence: concentration of construction revenue in H2 for Workforce Hub and initial contributions from the data center community could lift revenue, though service margins largely begin in 2026 .
Key risks: government timing/appropriations slippage, competitive ADR pressure in HFS, execution risks on large new builds; offset by fixed‑fee structures (Dilley), long‑term multi‑year contracts and diversified end‑markets .
Trading lens: Narrative likely shifts from government contraction to diversification and contract execution; catalysts include formal economic disclosure on the data center contract, Dilley full operation, and additional government awards .

Non‑GAAP notes: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are defined and reconciled in the company’s materials; forward‑looking Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation is unavailable without unreasonable effort .
