Segment performance
Fourth quarter revenue decreased 4% compared to Q4 2023. The decline was due to lower oil and gas customer activity, offset by 35% increase in aerospace revenues, 23% increase in power generation revenues, and over 500% growth in marine bunkering revenues. In Q4, ~49% of revenues were from aerospace and marine customers, vs 14% in Q4 2023. Full year 2024 revenue was $73.3 million, a 0.2% increase vs 2023. Gallons delivered increased by over 8 million gallons, but was offset by lower natural gas commodity prices. Full year adjusted EBITDA was $11.8 million, up from $6.8 million in 2023.
Guidance
• Remain committed to strategy prioritizing operational efficiency and disciplined capital, with focus on growth in marine, aerospace, and distributed power solutions. • Invested majority of CapEx in 2024 in growth-related investments, with significant CapEx to be allocated for incremental growth in marine and aerospace markets. • Prioritize growth within high-potential markets, reinvesting ahead of demand for small-scale LNG.
