First Quarter Summary Highlights

​

TH Q1 2024 Earnings Release

​

​

Revenue was $106.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $147.8 million for the same period in 2023.

​

Net income was $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $43.8 million for the same period in 2023.

​

Adjusted EBITDA was $53.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $90.6 million for the same period in 2023.

​

The year over year decreases were primarily driven by non-cash, nonrecurring, infrastructure enhancement revenue amortization (“Infrastructure Revenue Amortization”) associated with the Company’s Pecos Children’s Center (“PCC”) community within the government segment. As previously announced, on July 8, 2022, the Infrastructure Revenue Amortization was associated with material expansion and enhancement of the PCC community and was fully amortized as of November 2023.

​

Capital Management

​

The Company had approximately $9.7 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Capital expenditures were predominantly focused on enhancing operational efficiencies through the purchase of previously leased equipment, further optimizing Target’s operational footprint across its network of modular accommodations.

​

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $124 million of cash and cash equivalents with approximately $299 million of total available liquidity, no outstanding borrowings on the Company’s $175 million credit facility, and a net leverage ratio of 0.2 times.  

​

As of March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $21.2 million. The stock repurchases, which commenced in January 2024, were executed pursuant to the $100 million stock repurchase program announced in November 2022 and represent approximately 21.2% of total share repurchase authorization executed to date. This repurchase program may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued at certain times. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Any shares of common stock repurchased will be held as treasury shares.

​

Business Update

​

The strength in Target’s core service offering continues to support a high degree of revenue visibility, strong cash generation and a robust liquidity profile.  These attributes have established an enhanced financial position, centered on an optimized balance sheet supporting meaningful financial flexibility.  

​

Target’s optimized financial profile allows the Company to pursue capital allocation opportunities focused on diversifying and broadening the Company’s customer base and contract portfolio.  Importantly, as Target evaluates these opportunities there remains a sharp focus on maintaining its strong financial position through disciplined capital deployment.

​

Target continues to actively evaluate a robust pipeline of strategic growth opportunities and seeks to allocate over $500 million of net growth capital through 2027. These opportunities encompass Target’s existing full-turnkey hospitality solutions, as well as broadening Target’s value chain participation through individual elements of existing core competencies.

​

The strength in Target’s core service offering and enhanced financial profile supports the company’s reiterated preliminary 2024 outlook, excluding acquisitions of:

Recent Developments

​

On March 25, 2024 Target announced that the Board of Directors of Target Hospitality (“the Board”) received an unsolicited non-binding proposal from Arrow Holdings S.à r.l. (“Arrow”), an affiliate of TDR Capital LLP (“TDR”), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Target Hospitality that are not owned by any of Arrow, any investment fund managed by TDR or any of their respective affiliates, for cash consideration of $10.80 per share (the “Proposal”).

​

The Board has established a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), and the Special Committee has retained Centerview Partners LLC and Ardea Partners LP as its financial advisors and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP as its legal advisor. The Special Committee has commenced its review and evaluation of the Proposal.

​

The Special Committee has made no decision at this time with respect to the Proposal, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to the Proposal or any other transaction, except as required by applicable law or other regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance that any transaction will result from the Special Committee’s evaluation of the Proposal, or, if so, the timing, terms and conditions of such transaction.

​

This press release contains historical non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted gross profit, Discretionary Cash Flow, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are measurements not calculated in accordance with US GAAP, in the discussion of our financial results because they are key metrics used by management to assess financial performance. Our business is capital-intensive, and these additional metrics allow management to further evaluate our operating performance.  Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are contained herein. To the extent required, statements disclosing the definitions, utility and purposes of these measures are also set forth herein.

​

This press release also contains a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of this forward-looking measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to Target Hospitality without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliation are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliation would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to us without unreasonable effort. Although we provide a minimum of Adjusted EBITDA that we believe will be achieved, we cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. Target Hospitality provides an Adjusted EBITDA outlook because we believe that this measure, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provide useful information for the reasons noted below.

​

Definitions:

​

Target Hospitality defines Adjusted gross profit, as Gross profit plus depreciation of specialty rental assets, loss on impairment, and certain severance costs.

​

Target Hospitality defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation of specialty rental assets, and other depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what management considers transactions or events not related to its core business operations:

​

​

Target Hospitality defines Discretionary Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less maintenance capital expenditures for specialty rental assets.

​

​

Utility and Purposes:

​

EBITDA reflects net income (loss) excluding the impact of interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of operating performance because we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors, and others, to evaluate companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in

​

considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

​

Target Hospitality also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of operating performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to exclude the effects of additional items, including certain items, that are not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Target Hospitality.  In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude gains or losses on the sale and disposal of depreciable assets and impairment losses because including them in EBITDA is inconsistent with reporting the ongoing performance of our remaining assets. Additionally, the gain or loss on sale and disposal of depreciable assets and impairment losses represents either accelerated depreciation or excess depreciation in previous periods, and depreciation is excluded from EBITDA.

​

Target Hospitality also presents Discretionary cash flows because we believe it provides useful information regarding our business as more fully described below. Discretionary cash flows indicate the amount of cash available after maintenance capital expenditures for specialty rental assets for, among other things, investments in our existing business.

​

Adjusted gross profit, Discretionary Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of Target Hospitality’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to gross profit, net income, or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of Target Hospitality’s liquidity.  Adjusted gross profit, Discretionary Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to Target Hospitality to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that is available to it to meet our obligations. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Target Hospitality’s management believe that Adjusted gross profit, Discretionary Cash Flows, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors about Target Hospitality and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) they are among the measures used by Target Hospitality’s management team to evaluate its operating performance; (ii) they are among the measures used by Target Hospitality’s management team to make day-to-day operating decisions, (iii) they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results across companies in Target Hospitality’s industry.
