Q & A Highlights
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with HZNOF.
Q: Can you explain the rationale behind the Right Choice acquisition, given your previous cautious approach to adding assets? A: Mark Becker, CEO: We've had high utilization on our camp equipment, and with strong growth pipelines across Canada, we need more equipment to capture opportunities. Right Choice is a strong margin business that complements our operations, allowing us to redeploy equipment and expand both asset-based and support services.
Q: What is the revenue split between asset-based services (ABS) and support services for Right Choice? A: Denise Chanu, CFO: Of the $75 million top line, about 20% is ABS, with the balance being support services. This mirrors our current open camp profile and we acquired it at a great multiple.
Q: Can you provide insights into the support services sales pipeline, especially in the U.S.? A: Mark Becker, CEO: The pipeline is strong across the business, with significant activity in the U.S. We are targeting mid-single-digit growth annually for support services, with higher growth rates in the U.S., closer to 10%, due to our strategic investments like PVC.
Q: How do you plan to optimize the utilization of Right Choice's underutilized assets? A: Mark Becker, CEO: Right Choice's high-quality, mobile equipment can be redeployed across Canada and potentially in the U.S. We aim to optimize operations between our facilities and theirs, leveraging our strong pipeline of opportunities.
Q: What are the priorities for the new President of Dexterra USA? A: Mark Becker, CEO: David Lambert will focus on understanding our U.S. operations, integrating PVC's services, and establishing a U.S.-based organization. He will also work on leveraging synergies and developing a growth plan for our U.S. platform.
