  • Anticipate further price increases for the remainder of the year.
  • Expect revenue for all of our service lines to increase for Q2.
  • Anticipate revenue and adjusted EBITDA to improve sequentially for Q2.
  • Well positioned with geographic and service line diversity to grow earnings with relatively low capital requirements.
