CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
The Company expects annual revenue for 2021 to be higher than in 2020, however, first quarter 2021 revenues will decline modestly compared with those of prior year, due to a full quarter’s impact of COVID-19 in 2021 as compared to a partial month impact in 2020.
Positive Outlook
- Company expects that year-on-year Adjusted EBITDA improvements will commence beginning in the first quarter of 2021.
- The Company is optimistic that its revenue will continue to rebound once it reaches the second quarter of fiscal 2021, and therefore expects that revenue will commence year-on-year improvements beginning in the second quarter of 2021.
- Energy prices and demand are currently stable
- The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s two largest markets, Oil & Gas and Aerospace.
- Company’s business has been recovering over the past two quarters, from the low experienced in the second quarter of 2020, when the effect of COVID-19 was most impactful to its financial results.
Challenges Ahead
- First quarter 2021 revenues will decline modestly compared with those of prior year, due to a full quarter’s impact of COVID-19 in 2021 as compared to a partial month impact in 2020.
- First quarter 2021 revenue will be lower sequentially compared with the fourth quarter of 2020, due to typical seasonality patterns.
- Continuing stabilization in crude oil markets is needed.
- A timely and effective implementation of COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021 is needed
- No new or increased stay-in-place mandates resulting from an increased spread of COVID-19, which would impact the Company’s ability to work as a critical service provider.
