Negative
Revenue Increase Amid Rig Decline: Despite a 5% sequential increase in revenue to $189 million, the overall performance was impacted by a 3% decline in average quarterly operated U.S. land rigs and a 7% decline in active U.S. track spreads.

Income Decline Analysis: Operating income and adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially by 8% and 3% respectively, primarily due to a shift in the PSL mix, which included reduced rental activity.
SG&A Expense Analysis: The total SG&A expense for Q3 was $21.2 million, which, when adjusted for non-recurring costs, would have been $18.6 million, or just 9.9% of quarterly revenue, indicating a need for better cost management.
