Key Q&A
Q:Can you give us any kind of incremental detail about the conversations you're having, the opportunity to put idle assets to work, and what's driving the demand?
A:We continue to have strong interest and high-level conversations with the government and our partners. The government intends to increase their bed capacity by approximately 100,000 beds, and our West Texas facility is ready for immediate occupancy. We believe this facility is part of the government's acquisition plan.
Q:What's contracted right now on the lithium front and how do we think about the contribution this year and next?
A:The majority of the revenue generated this year will come from construction activities, contributing about $65 million with an estimated margin of 25-30%. After that, services will kick in through 2027, with potential for multiple phases extending to 2040.
Q:Could you address M&A or new asset consideration that you might pursue?
A:We see strong bid activity in large domestic infrastructure projects, especially in data centers. We're focused on organic growth in the immediate term, but inorganic growth is part of our long-term strategy.
Q:Could you give us a sense of the financial cadence for the remainder of the year regarding the Workforce Hub contract?
A:The majority of activity will be in Q3, with Q2 slightly below Q3. Q4 will be minimal wrap-up activity. Full economics will begin in September.
Q:Could you give an example of opportunities to assist the government on immigration policy beyond existing assets?
A:We will first utilize existing resources and then look to the open market for purchases or new builds if needed.
Q:Are your assets locked into the energy market, or could they be repurposed?
A:We have repurposed assets in the past and would do so in the future. We aim to maximize our own equipment before looking outside.
Q:Is there a level of contractual commitment to your energy customers regarding asset availability?
A:We are committed to the Permian Basin for our oil and gas customers and have large contracts to service, but we can maximize efficiencies by reallocating rooms without hurting our customer base.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided giving a direct answer regarding the specifics of M&A opportunities and the potential for new asset acquisitions, using vague language about 'strong bid activity' without providing concrete examples or timelines.
