Total Energy’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2024 reflect relatively stable industry conditions in Canada and Australia and lower drilling and completion activity levels in the United States (the “U.S.”). Included in the 2024 financial results is the contribution from Saxon Energy Services Australia Pty Ltd. (“Saxon”) from March 7, 2024 when Saxon was acquired. 2024 fourth quarter results were negatively impacted by $4.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 as a result of foreign exchange translation differences.

(2) Operating days includes drilling and paid standby days.
Fourth quarter CDS segment activity was lower in 2024 compared to 2023 due to a substantial decline in U.S. activity, an extended holiday shutdown in Canada and shutdowns in Australia due to extended wet weather conditions. Saxon contributed $21.4 million of CDS segment revenue during the fourth quarter of 2024. Negatively impacting segment EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 were expenses incurred with the reactivation of several upgraded rigs in Australia and Canada. The substantial year over year increase in fourth quarter Australian revenue per operating day reflects the addition of Saxon’s deeper drilling rig fleet which receives higher day rates as well as increased rates received for recently upgraded drilling rigs.

RTS segment revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased compared to 2023 due to lower activity levels in the U.S. Despite lower U.S. revenues, fourth quarter segment EBITDA increased in 2024 compared to a 2023 due a 3% year over year increase in Canadian revenue and a 41% increase in segment operating margin resulting from a change in the mix of equipment operating and lower equipment reactivation costs in both Canada and the U.S.

(2) Rental equipment utilization is measured on a horsepower basis.
2024 fourth quarter CPS segment revenue was higher compared to 2023 due to increased fabrication, parts and service and rental activity in both Canada and the U.S. Improved fabrication efficiencies and a significant increase in compression horsepower on rent contributed to the year over year increase in segment EBITDA for 2024. The quarter end fabrication sales backlog increased by $26.2 million compared to the $162.8 million backlog at December 31, 2023 and remained consistent with the $189.0 million backlog at September 30, 2024.

(2) Service hours is defined as well servicing hours of service provided to customers and includes paid rig move and standby.
(3) The Company reports its service rig utilization for its operational service rigs in North America based on service hours of 3,650 per rig per year to reflect standard 10 hour operations per day. Utilization for the Company’s service rigs in Australia is calculated based on service hours of 8,760 per rig per year to reflect standard 24 hour operations.
Fourth quarter WS segment revenue increased in 2024 as compared to 2023 due to increased activity in Canada and Australia that offset a substantial decline in U.S. activity. Segment EBITDA was lower as higher operating income in Canada was more than offset by the decline in United States operating income due to lower activity and lower operating income in Australia due to activity shutdowns resulting from extended wet weather conditions. Also negatively impacting 2024 fourth quarter operating income and EBITDA in Australia and Canada were expenses incurred to reactivate upgraded rigs.
Corporate
During the fourth quarter of 2024, Total Energy remained focused on the safe and efficient operation of its business, execution of its 2024 capital expenditure program and the integration of the Saxon acquisition. Including the acquisition of Saxon and net of disposals, $136.1 million of capital expenditures were made in 2024.
Total Energy exited the fourth quarter of 2024 with $78.7 million of positive working capital, including $38.4 million of cash, and $105 million of available credit under its $175 million of revolving bank credit facilities. Included in current liabilities is a $40.9 million mortgage loan that matures in April of 2025. Total Energy expects to repay this debt at maturity when approximately $40.2 million of principal will be outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding bank debt at December 31, 2024 was 4.45%.
Outlook
Global political and economic uncertainty, including recent threats of tariffs, continues to impair visibility for the energy services industry. Despite this uncertainty, industry conditions remain relatively stable. Contributing to this stability are substantial ongoing investment to increase North American LNG export capacity, a strong Asian LNG market and the recent completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in Canada. The expected completion of the LNG Canada liquified natural gas export facility in mid-2025, and the resultant 1.8 billion cubic feet per day of additional demand for Canadian natural gas, continues to provide a tailwind for Canadian natural gas drilling and completion activity despite relatively weak Canadian natural gas spot market prices.
Total Energy’s previously announced 2025 preliminary capital budget of $61.9 million includes $34.3 million of growth capital. Included in 2025 growth capital is $27.8 million for Canadian drilling and service rig upgrades and $6.5 million for continued growth of the North American natural gas compression rental fleet and parts and service business. In addition, $16.6 million of 2024 growth capital primarily related to Australian drilling and service rig upgrades carried into 2025. Upgrades to one Saxon drilling rig were completed and said rig commenced drilling in mid-February under a long term contract. Upgrades to another Saxon drilling rig and an Australian service rig are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2025 after which they will commence operations under long term contracts. An additional $27.6 million has been budgeted for 2025 capital maintenance and includes equipment recertifications and maintenance in all business segments as well as the purchase of new drill pipe. Total Energy expects to fund its capital expenditure program with cash on hand and cash flow from operations.
Dividend Increase
The Board of Directors of Total Energy has declared a dividend of $0.10 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This represents an 11% increase from the fourth quarter 2024 dividend. The dividend is payable on April 15, 2025 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all dividends declared by the Company are “eligible dividends” within the meaning of subsection 89(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Notes to the Financial Highlights
| (1) | EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is equal to net income (loss) before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company’s primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company’s primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Total Energy’s performance. Total Energy’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations. |
| (2) | Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities. |
| (3) | Net Debt equals long-term debt plus lease liabilities plus current liabilities minus current assets. Management believes this measure provides a useful indication of the Company’s liquidity. |
| (4) | Basic and diluted shares outstanding reflect the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. See note 16 to the Company’s 2024 Financial Statements. |
Certain statements contained in this press release, including statements which may contain words such as “could”, “should”, “expect”, “believe”, “will” and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.
