Forward Guidance

The Company anticipates a high-teen up to 20% sequential improvement in revenues for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter, but down from the year ago quarter. The Company believes that consolidated revenue in the second half of 2020 will be higher than the first half of 2020, with a progressive improvement in adjusted EBITDA and continuing positive free cash flow in the second half of 2020.

Positive Outlook

  • Anticipates a high-teen up to 20% sequential improvement in revenues for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter
  • Consolidated revenue in the second half of 2020 will be higher than the first half of 2020
  • Progressive improvement in adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2020
  • Continuing positive free cash flow in the second half of 2020
  • Stabilization in the crude oil markets and the continuing relaxation of certain stay-in-place mandates are allowing some of our energy industry customers to start projects in the third quarter that were delayed earlier in the year.

Challenges Ahead

  • Ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s two largest markets, Oil & Gas and Aerospace.
  • Anticipates a high-teen up to 20% sequential improvement in revenues for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter, but down from the year ago quarter.
  • Extremely difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty at this time
  • Outlook is contingent on continuing macroeconomic stability, including the recent recovery in the crude oil markets and the ongoing relaxation of certain stay-in-place mandates.
  • Second quarter revenues were down from a year ago in what we still believe is likely to be this years’ trough quarter, primarily due to the slowdown in inspection activity resulting from our clients’ prioritization of safety precautions precipitated by the rapid onset of COVID-19, as well as more cautionary customer budgeting.
