What weakened

  • Operating cash flow covered only 0.37x net income.

Filing receipts

The $882.5 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net borrowing activities of $826.0 million which includes the initial cash received from the 2031 Notes and the 2032 Notes, purchase of capped calls, net borrowings under the Caterpillar Agreement, net borrowings and repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility, and payment of debt issuance costs.

General and Administrative General and administrative expenses decreased $6.2 million , or 9% , to $59.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $65.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to additional stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 in connection with the resignation of the Company’s previous Chief Executive Officer.

Cash used in investing activities was higher during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a $23.1 million increase in new equipment purchases and capitalized maintenance of existing equipment and a decrease in the proceeds on sale of equity securities of $29.9 million.
