Smart Sand reports Q3 EPS 0c vs. (1c) last year

Reports Q3 revenue $63.2M vs. $73.8M last year. Reports Q3 total tons sold of approximately 1.2M. "We are pleased to report that our continued focus on pro-actively managing our cost structure and capital expenditures led to positive free cash flow for the quarter," stated Chuck Young, CEO of Smart Sand. "We remain cash flow positive for 2024, and in keeping with our stated goal of returning capital to our shareholders this year, we recently paid a special dividend of $0.10 per common share outstanding, and we additionally announced a share buyback plan of up to $10 million. Importantly, during the quarter, we put in place a new five-year $30 million ABL credit facility with our new lender First Citizens Bank. This facility provides us with an efficient and flexible source of funding that allows us manage our business going forward as well as the ability to act quickly on emerging opportunities. We continue to believe in the long-term fundamentals of the oil and gas business, and although volumes decreased modestly quarter over quarter, demand remains strong through the fourth quarter. As for 2025, we are particularly excited about anticipated growing demand for natural gas in both the US and Canadian markets coupled with oil activity that is expected to increase in the Utica basin. As a result, we expect a pickup in activity and volumes through the end of the year and in the first half of 2025."
