Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $143.6 million compared to $109.6 million for the same period in 2022, a 31% increase. The increase was driven by the Government segment and the expanded and enhanced PCC community ("Expanded PCC Community"), previously announced on July 6, 2022.

Net income was $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $22.9 million for the same period in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $90.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $56.1 million for the same period in 2022, a 62% increase.

Capital Management

The Company had approximately $15.6 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to a strategic humanitarian asset acquisition focused on increasing portfolio capacity in support of the U.S. government's critical humanitarian aid mission and enhancing HFS – South assets to match continued strong customer demand.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $70 million of cash and cash equivalents with approximately $195 million of total available liquidity and a net leverage ratio of 0.4 times. 

Government Influx Care Facility and Humanitarian Update

As the Company previously announced, effective March 7, 2023, a key milestone was achieved through the establishment of the required contracting vehicle the U.S. government utilizes to facilitate multi-year contract awards. This was a critical step towards securing a long-term contract for Target's existing PCC ICF community. 

Further, on May 5, 2023, the government released the detailed performance of work statement associated with this contracting vehicle, which will serve as the basis for community requirements supporting multi-year contract awards. Importantly, these requirements materially align with the existing PCC specifications and capabilities. 

In connection with the performance of work statement, the government outlined their intention to award a total of three contracts for comprehensive ICF sites. The government's solicitation is aligned with their desire to create a portfolio of ICF communities capable of supporting approximately 10,000 individuals, requiring two new ICF communities in addition to the established PCC ICF site. 

Target has strategically partnered with established government service providers and has jointly submitted several solutions for the creation of new ICF sites to support surge capacity beyond the U.S. governments existing shelter network. These solutions span numerous geographic locations and are focused on providing the U.S. government with maximum flexibility as they determine the desired location of new ICF communities. 

To satisfy these mission critical solutions, Target has submitted requested proposals supporting approximately $1.0 billion of cumulative capital deployment to create highly customized and purpose-built solutions backed by multi-year U.S. government contracts. Target anticipates any potential awards from these proposals to occur over the next several months.

As a reminder, Target recently acquired strategic humanitarian assets in anticipation of the U.S. government's desire to increase their portfolio of humanitarian housing solutions. These assets have been proposed as a viable solution to the government's solicitation for additional ICF sites and satisfy many of the government's required specifications, including proximity to the U.S. Southwest border, size, availability, and other critical service offering requirements. 

Additionally, Target's established presence providing these critical and highly customized solutions to the U.S. government is an essential element and positions Target to pursue these additional ICF opportunities.

Target is pleased with the progress of contract discussions regarding its existing PCC community and anticipates contract specifications being finalized later in 2023, with the U.S. government and its existing non-profit partner. Additionally, Target is encouraged by the pace of discussions regarding the government's intention to add new ICF communities to its portfolio. Target is well positioned, with multiple world class partners, to provide these holistic humanitarian solutions to the U.S. government in support of its critical domestic humanitarian aid mission. 

Business Update

Target's strategically located HFS - South network of communities continues to experience positive trends in customer activity, supported by strong demand fundamentals for its premium hospitality solutions. These trends continue to support sequential quarterly increases in customer demand, resulting in an 18% increase in HFS - South utilization compared to the second quarter of 2022.

The Company continues to actively evaluate an expanding pipeline of strategic growth opportunities and seeks to allocate over $500 million of net growth capital through 2027. As a result of the size and scale of these opportunities, there are inherently longer sales cycles prior to official contract award and announcement. While final outcomes remain uncertain, Target remains pleased with the continued progress of ongoing discussions involving a number of these opportunities.

As the Company continues to pursue an active pipeline of strategic growth opportunities, some of which could have an economic impact on 2023, the Company is providing its 2023 outlook, excluding acquisitions of: 

• Total revenue between $550 and $580 million
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ between $346 and $365 million
• Total capital spending between $25 and $35 million, excluding acquisitions
• Zero net debt by year end 2023

In addition, the 2023 financial outlook includes non-cash infrastructure revenue amortization of approximately $117 million associated with the Expanded PCC Community enhancements.

(1)  Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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:

• Other (income) expense, net: Other (income) expense, net includes miscellaneous cash receipts, gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment, COVID-19 related expenses, and other immaterial non-cash items.
• Transaction expenses: Target Hospitality incurred certain immaterial transactions costs during 2023 and 2022.
• Stock-based compensation: Charges associated with stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
• Change in fair value of warrant liabilities: Non-cash change in estimated fair value of warrant liabilities.
• Other adjustments: System implementation costs, including primarily non-cash amortization of capitalized system implementation costs, business development, accounting standard implementation costs and certain severance costs.

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 Net income (loss), 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.
