Sentiment

Score: 7

Explanation: The sentiment is positive due to a significant improvement in net income and Adjusted EBITDA, driven by strategic divestitures and the resolution of prior-year one-time charges. The company's liquidity has substantially improved. However, continuing operations still report a loss, and an impairment charge was recognized, indicating ongoing challenges in certain segments. The future outlook for continuing operations remains an Adjusted EBITDA loss, and ongoing litigation presents unquantified risks.

Positives

• Achieved net income of $8.8 million in Q2 2025, a significant turnaround from a substantial net loss in the prior year, primarily due to successful divestitures.
• Net loss from continuing operations significantly decreased to $35.7 million in Q2 2025 from $155.6 million in Q2 2024, indicating improved underlying performance excluding one-time charges.
• Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations improved dramatically to a loss of $2.8 million in Q2 2025 from a loss of $164.6 million in Q2 2024.
• Cash and cash equivalents more than doubled to $127.3 million at June 30, 2025, from $60.8 million at December 31, 2024, enhancing liquidity.
• Successfully divested non-core infrastructure services entities for $108.7 million and hydraulic fracturing equipment for $15.0 million, streamlining operations.
• Paid off the $50.9 million term credit facility with Wexford Capital LP in October 2024, reducing debt burden and interest expense.
• Rental services revenue increased by 72% in Q2 2025, driven by a 33% increase in equipment rented and expansion of aviation offerings, with improved cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue.
• Infrastructure services revenue grew by 20% in Q2 2025, primarily due to increased fiber optic activity.
• Natural sand proppant services revenue increased by 15% in Q2 2025, driven by a 72% increase in tons of sand sold.
• The company has $42.5 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility as of August 6, 2025, providing financial flexibility.

Negatives

• Continuing operations still reported a net loss of $35.7 million in Q2 2025 and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.8 million.
• Incurred a $31.7 million impairment expense on natural sand proppant assets in Q2 2025, indicating a write-down of asset value in this segment.
• Accommodation services revenue decreased by 33% in Q2 2025 due to declining utilization, leading to a higher fixed cost ratio and reduced profitability in this segment.
• Drilling services revenue only marginally increased, and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue remained high at 114% in Q2 2025.
• Other services revenue declined significantly due to the shutdown of water transfer services in Q3 2024.
• The average price per ton of sand sold in natural sand proppant services declined by 6% in Q2 2025.
• No shortfall revenue was recognized in natural sand proppant services in Q2 2025, compared to $1.1 million in Q2 2024, indicating less customer commitment fulfillment.

Risks

• Volatility of oil and natural gas prices and actions by OPEC+ affecting commodity price and production levels.
• General economic, business, or industry conditions and concerns over a potential economic slowdown or recession.
• Inflationary pressure on the cost of services, equipment, and other goods.
• Ability to comply with applicable financial covenants and other terms and conditions of the revolving credit facility.
• Failure to receive, or delays in receiving, the remaining $20.0 million payment under the settlement agreement with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA).
• Outcome or settlement of ongoing litigation matters, particularly the Puerto Rico municipal tax lawsuits where the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated.
• Regional supply and demand factors, delays or interruptions of production, and governmental orders imposing production limits on customers.
• Sustained weakness in the natural gas basins in which the company operates, adversely impacting demand for natural sand proppant services.
• Changes in U.S. and foreign trade regulations and tariffs, including potential increases of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., and uncertainty regarding the same.
• Extreme weather conditions, wildfires, and other natural disasters in areas where services are provided.
• Cyberattacks and any resulting loss of information.
• Customer credit risk, especially with significant customers like PREPA, which is in bankruptcy proceedings.
• Seasonality affecting operations in regions like Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Canada, particularly during winter and spring months.
• Inability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, which could impair operations, capital expenditures, debt service, and acquisitions.

Future Outlook

For the second half of 2025, the company expects to generate an Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations ranging from $3.0 million to $4.0 million. Cash outflow related to discontinued operations is projected to range from $4.0 million to $5.0 million due to wind-down activities. These losses are planned to be largely funded by proceeds from the sale of underutilized assets. Aggregate capital expenditures from continuing operations for 2025 are estimated at approximately $42.0 million, primarily for aviation and other equipment rental services. The company continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities, including in the renewable energy sector and with Wexford-controlled entities.

Management Comments

• We are focused on driving returns through improved execution by prioritizing asset utilization, margin expansion, and capital efficiency across the portfolio.
• While macroeconomic uncertainty including tariffs and demand volatility continue to affect parts of the market, we remain proactive in repositioning Mammoth to perform through differing business cycles.

Industry Context

The oil and natural gas industry remains volatile, influenced by supply/demand, commodity prices, and capital expenditures by E&P companies. Persistent challenges in the natural sand proppant services segment are noted due to lower U.S. onshore activity and weakness in natural gas basins. Macroeconomic uncertainty, tariffs, and OPEC+ production increases continue to pressure energy markets and commodity prices, softening activity expectations for 2025. The utility infrastructure industry's demand is affected by customer financial condition, capital spending, economic conditions, and governmental regulations. The company's strategic divestitures reflect an adaptation to these market conditions, focusing on higher-performing segments and reducing exposure to more volatile or underperforming areas.

Corporate Governance

Legal Proceedings

• PREPA: $20.0 million remains outstanding from the settlement agreement, payable upon the effective date of PREPA's bankruptcy plan of adjustment. PREPA has agreed to cooperate with Cobra in resolving construction excise and volume of business taxes.
• Foreman Electric Services, Inc. (RICO lawsuit): Settled in July 2025, with no material adverse effect on the company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
• Puerto Rico Municipal Tax Lawsuits: Judgments entered against Cobra for $5.1 million (May 16, 2025), $1.6 million (May 20, 2025), and $3.4 million (July 3, 2025), plus interest, penalties, and attorneys' fees. Appeals for the May judgments were denied on June 30, 2025, and Cobra intends to appeal further. Cobra believes it is exempt from these taxes, but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated.
• Christopher Williams/Matthew Zeisset (Overtime wages class action): Settlements reached with a portion of claimants, with arbitrations pending for the remainder. An estimated liability has been recognized, but the ultimate resolution amount may change.

Related Party Transactions

• The term credit facility with Wexford Capital LP, an affiliate, was fully paid off on October 2, 2024, for $50.9 million, including accrued interest, and the 1% early termination penalty was waived.
• Cobra Aviation Services LLC and Leopard Aviation LLC lease helicopters to Brim Equipment Leasing LLC, a joint venture (Brim Acquisitions LLC) in which Wexford Investment (an entity controlled by Wexford) holds a 51% economic interest.
• Revenue from related party transactions was $0.6 million for Q2 2025 and $0.7 million for 6M 2025.
• Costs incurred from related party transactions were $0.1 million for Q2 2025 and $0.2 million for 6M 2025.
• Accounts receivable from related party transactions totaled $0.6 million at June 30, 2025.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Positive impact from increased net income and improved liquidity, potential for future stock repurchases (up to $50 million or 10 million shares authorized). However, continuing operational losses and unquantified litigation risks remain.
• Customers: Continued provision of rental, infrastructure, natural sand proppant, accommodation, and drilling services, with some segments showing increased activity (rental, infrastructure, sand) and others declining (accommodation, drilling, other).
• Employees: Strategic divestitures of infrastructure services and hydraulic fracturing operations likely resulted in workforce adjustments in those segments. Ongoing operations continue to employ staff.
• Creditors: Improved liquidity and payoff of the term credit facility reduce credit risk. The revolving credit facility remains undrawn with available capacity.
• Suppliers: Normal course of business dealings, but inflationary pressures and trade policies could impact costs.

Next Steps

• Receive the remaining $20.0 million payment from PREPA following the effective date of PREPA's plan of adjustment.
• Continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities, including in the renewable energy sector and with entities controlled by Wexford.
• Fund expected Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations and cash outflow from discontinued operations in H2 2025 using proceeds from underutilized asset sales.
• Cobra intends to appeal the June 30, 2025 decision regarding Puerto Rico municipal tax lawsuits.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The company has demonstrated significant financial improvement in Q2 2025, primarily driven by strategic divestitures and the absence of large one-time charges from the prior year. This has substantially boosted liquidity and reduced debt. However, continuing operations still report an Adjusted EBITDA loss, and an impairment charge on natural sand proppant assets indicates ongoing challenges in certain core segments. While the resolution of the Foreman lawsuit is positive, the unquantified risk from Puerto Rico municipal tax litigation and the contingent nature of the remaining PREPA payment introduce uncertainty. The authorized share repurchase program offers potential upside, but the company has not yet acted on it. Given the mixed operational performance, ongoing risks, and the transition phase post-divestitures, a 'hold' recommendation is appropriate as investors await clearer signs of sustained profitability from continuing operations and resolution of remaining legal and financial contingencies.
