  • The company successfully closed the sale of its modular solutions business, allowing for a more simplified business model and enhancing the predictability of operating results.

  • The company faced challenges from a more normalized wildfire season in 2024, which negatively impacted revenue compared to the unprecedented activity levels in 2023.
  • Despite improvements, inflationary pressures, particularly in labor costs, continue to be a concern, requiring proactive management through contract terms and negotiations.
  • The WAFES segment experienced lower revenue and adjusted EBITDA compared to the same quarter last year due to the completion of the coastal gas link project contracts.
