Outlook and guidance

• Management expects continued solid growth over the next 3–5 years, supported by a strong contract backlog and favorable gold prices.

• Q2 is historically the strongest quarter; Q3 and Q4 are expected to be seasonally slower, with utilization dropping from 75% to around 60%.

• Year-over-year improvements in top-line revenue are anticipated, but not sequential quarter-over-quarter gains.

• Management does not expect to match 2022 EPS of $0.41 in 2024, citing margin compression from the shift to Tier 1 clients.
