Risk or Challenges
Government Contract Timing Uncertainty: The timing of specific contract awards related to U.S. government border security initiatives is difficult to predict, which could delay revenue realization and operational planning.
Carrying Costs for West Texas Assets: The decision to keep West Texas assets in a ready state while remarketing them incurs carrying costs of $2 million to $3 million per quarter, impacting profitability until a new contract is awarded.
Gradual Reactivation of Dilley, Texas Assets: The phased reopening of the Dilley, Texas community leads to lower margin contributions in the second and third quarters of 2025, delaying full revenue and margin realization until September 2025.
Competitive Market Pressures in HFS Segment: Maintaining substantial asset utilization in a competitive market requires balancing network optimization with demand, which could pressure margins and operational efficiency.
Shift in Revenue Timing for Workforce Hub Contract: Modifications and scope expansion of the Workforce Hub Contract shift some expected services revenue from 2025 into 2026, potentially impacting short-term financial performance.
Dependence on Government Policy and Funding: The company's growth in the Government segment is heavily reliant on U.S. government policy and funding decisions, which are subject to change and could impact future opportunities.

Key Q&A
Q:How should we think about the steps and timeline for the West Texas site and the potential for the contract to be comparable to prior contracts?
A:The timeline remains consistent with previous statements. The reconciliation budget has been passed, but funds have not yet started flowing. Positive discussions with the government are ongoing, and the site is on their acquisition list. The facility is expected to be leased and reactivated in the back half of the year.
Q:How should we think about the structure and timing of the data center opportunity?
A:The structure will differ from the Workforce Hub Contract as the company will own the assets, leading to higher margins. It is a lease and services agreement, similar to the Dilley structure. An early works contract is in place, and the final contract is expected soon. The data center opportunity is seen as a game changer for the company, with a massive pipeline of projects across the U.S.
Q:What is the duration of the data center contracts, and how does it compare to oil and gas contracts?
A:Data center contracts involve a large workforce in one location for many years, unlike the shorter-term network approach in oil and gas. These are long-term, multibillion-dollar projects in remote locations, requiring significant infrastructure and workforce support.
Q:What is the source of beds for the data centers, and how does it relate to oil and gas operations?
A:The company will first utilize excess capacity from oil and gas operations, then consider purchasing or building new beds. The scale of data center projects may require buying new equipment in the future, which will be factored into the economics of the projects.
Q:Is $50,000 per bed still a reasonable estimate for adding capacity, given inflation?
A:The cost per bed has likely increased since 2019 due to inflation and other factors. The exact cost is not disclosed, but it will be incorporated into the project's economics to ensure profitability.
Q:How competitive was the bidding for the data center community contract, and what factors led to Target's selection?
A:The bidding was competitive, but the decision was not price-driven. The key factors were Target's ability to deliver on time, retain and attract workforce, and meet the scale and speed requirements of the project.
Q:What are the main drivers behind the updated guidance, and what changes have occurred in the Workforce Hub Contract?
A:The updated guidance is driven by the expansion of the Workforce Hub Contract, increasing its value from $140 million to $154 million due to extended construction activity. Additionally, a PCC Contract wrap-up settlement contributed to the guidance update.
Q:How has government interest in the West Texas assets changed compared to last quarter?
A:Government interest remains high and has increased slightly due to budget approval. Discussions are more firm, and the government has inspected the proprietary SecureFlex facility, which adds optionality for new builds as part of their 100,000-room expansion plan.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific cost details for adding capacity per bed, citing inflation and other factors. They also did not disclose the exact timeline for finalizing the data center contract or the specific position of the West Texas site in the government's acquisition list.
