Prepared Metrics

Q&A Batch (1-3 of 3)

Q1 — Daniel Erik Hultberg

• Topic: Pipeline strength, contract structure, and 2026 revenue cadence
• Key points:
  • Pipeline is the strongest ever: 20,000+ bed opportunity after removing several thousand beds; continues to grow.
  • Two new contracts have over $150 million fixed minimum value; all-in rate (head-and-bed) is ~$100/night; variable upside is not in outlook.
  • Q1 is the low point; Q2 ramps (power community contract in Nevada starts June), Q3 full effect, Q4 reaches run rate of >$160M revenue and >$90M adjusted EBITDA annually (fixed minimum only).
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — pipeline is “actionable,” “harvesting” contracts, expects “stacking wins throughout 2026.”

Q2 — Stephen David Gengaro

• Topic: Run rate definition, customer urgency, and HFS South outlook
• Key points:
  • Run rate exiting 2026 is based solely on announced contracts; Q4 EBITDA guide is ~$22M.
  • Customer fear of capacity shortage is real; pipeline projects are “funded” and “executable”; supply/demand favors TH in clusters like Permian Basin.
  • HFS South business is expected “steady state” year over year from 2025 to 2026; Q4 fluctuations are normal seasonality.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — customer urgency is “warranted” due to lack of rooms in key areas; HFS outlook is stable.

Q3 — Gregory Thomas Gibas

• Topic: Capacity acquisition strategy, government focus, and pipeline project sizes
• Key points:
  • 3,000–4,000 beds of remaining inventory; incremental beds will be funded via customer upfront capital, project-level structures, and secondary market purchases.
  • TH is focused on WHS segment (commercial) for “greatest value creation”; not pursuing government opportunities (e.g., Fort Bliss).
  • Pipeline projects range from <1,000 beds to “much greater than 1,000”; larger projects have longer build-up (e.g., 1,400-bed reactivation was faster because beds were already in place).
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — capacity not an issue due to supplier relationships and phased build-up; commercial pipeline is “ready” and “predictable.”
