WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?

UpstreamMidstream 23%Gas Utilities 7%
69% of all revenue comes from a single line: Upstream.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$2.8B
The loss that same year:
$89M
Sales don’t cover the costs; the gap drains from the cash pile every year.

The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are growing, year after year.

Average growth of 15% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

In the vault right now:
$164M
DEBT: $585M
At this pace, that money lasts about 1.8 years.

Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
The cash has a countdown

FINALE · THE GRADE
