Our growth pipeline remains strong supported by a historic, domestic investment cycle and Rising demand from the government sector.
With these strong Tailwind, we continue to focus on, maintaining this momentum and Advance our strategic initiatives.
Turning to our segments and specific growth opportunities.
Our HFS segment continues to benefit from consistent customer demand, as clients value, our premium service offerings and network capabilities.
Targets, ability to deliver these. Unmatched Solutions is essential for maintaining long-term, customer relationships and achieving consistent contract, renewal rates exceeding. 90%
These factors helped secure a recent multi-year contract extension, with 1 of our largest HFS, customers highlighting, a relationship that has lasted over 15 years.
The disproven operating model is central to Target's success and has served as a blueprint for potential new customers.
Demonstrating the benefits and unique value propositions of our vertically integrated accommodations platform.
These distinctive capabilities supported the workforce subcontract announced in February along with recent contract modification supporting Community enhancements.
The increased scope of the contract, which raises the total contract value to approximately 154 million.
Exemplifies targets capacity to develop highly tailored solutions to meet specific. Customer needs
These enhancements underscore the importance of this community. And we see further opportunities for expanded contracts scope, and term extensions to support the development of this critical mineral supply chain.
Targets bespoke Solutions and unmatched capabilities in developing comprehensive remote. Workforce communities have supported the advanced contract discussions for our anticipated data center community.
This contract further, expands Targets in Market reach and create the new growth sector supporting the unprecedented growth in Ai and data center Construction.
As we conclude contract discussions, we have started preliminary construction for this highly customized community and expect to share more details soon.
This rapidly growing Market is driven by historic domestic investment and long-term growth trends.
Since January 2025 more than 1.2 trillion dollars has been committed to developing, and enhancing technology infrastructure to support artificial, intelligence and data centers.
The scale in remote locations of these projects, generate significant demand for comp comprehensive Workforce, Hospitality Solutions.
As demonstrated by these recent contracts and advanced discussions targets distinctive ability to deliver Integrated Solutions aligns perfectly with the needs of remote Workforce communities.
These factors have created 1 of the most significant commercial growth pipelines. We've seen in years
Our reputation is the leading provider of remote Hospitality Solutions, uniquely positions Target to support this rapidly expanding in-market demand.
We are excited about these growth opportunities which we believe establish a vital long, long-term commercial vertical, aligned with targets strategic growth objectives.
Now, moving to the government segment.
they reactivation of our daily Texas assets, remain on schedule with Community ramp up expected to be completed in September,
the successful reopening of this facility highlights. The importance of our decision to keep this community prepared to reopen alongside our partner.
Targets ability to quickly mobilize and respond. To government demands has established a strong reputation for delivering unmatched Solutions across various critical US Government immigration initiatives.
These qualities form a solid foundation as Target continues to evaluate and pursue additional growth opportunities within the government sector.
With the passage of the 2025 reconciliation Bill July, the US government has allocated 45 billion dollars towards specific border security initiatives.
Including expanding assets and bed capacity.
These initiatives will require coordination among multiple federal agencies to identify the most effective ways to implement comprehensive operational Solutions.
However, we are taking deliberate steps to demonstrate Target capabilities and believe there are multiple avenues to support these key policy initiatives.
Regarding our West Texas assets, we remain encouraged by ongoing interests from the U.S. government and utilizing this readily accessible community. We have continued to host site visits with government officials and potential partners, receiving positive feedback.
We remain confident in this, community's ability to deliver a vital solution aligned with the government's policy objectives.
While actively remarketing our West Texas assets. We are also exploring various strategies to develop innovative solutions. That support immigration initiatives Beyond. Target's current asset portfolio in available beds.
Recently we developed and proposed proprietary solutions to help the government. Urgently expand, critical immigration, housing, infrastructure.
These tailored and highly customized Solutions have generated strong interest from government agencies and potential partners.
We are optimistic about leveraging these innovative solutions to support their policy objectives.
In summary the strength of our core accommodations platform and our distinctive capabilities have driven considerable progress toward the key, strategic goals. We are encouraged by the strongest growth pipeline. We've seen in years supported by an unprecedented, domestic investment cycle and increasing demand within the government sector.
We believe these opportunities offer multiple Pathways to expand our business portfolio and continue advancing our strategic objectives. I'll now turn the call over to Jason to discuss our financial results in more detail.
Thank you Brian. Second quarter, total revenue was approximately 62 million with adjusted IBA of approximately $4 million.
Our government segment generated quarterly revenue of approximately 7 million.
the declines from the previous year were primarily driven by the termination of the PCC contract effective, February 21st, 2025 and partially by the termination of the South Texas, Family residential Center contract on August 9th 2024
DC clients were modestly offset by the reactivation of our daily. Texas assets, effective, March 5th, 2025
As a reminder, this contract is based on fixed monthly, Revenue, regardless of occupancy.
it is expected to produce approximately 30 million dollars in Revenue in 2025 with over 246, million over its expected, 5-year term
However, as the community progressively, reopened 2025 monthly Revenue will align with the reactivation of each neighborhood within the facility.
additionally, this gradual reopening will lead to lower margin contributions through the second and third quarters of 2025 before a full reactivation occurs,
We expect the community to be fully operational by September of 2025 at which point we will see revenue and margin contributions consistent with the entire 2400, Vette community.
Regarding our West Texas assets. As a reminder, we have decided to keep these Assets in a ready State while actively remarketing.
This decision which is similar to our approach with the Billy assets will entail. Carrying cost of about 2 to 3 million dollars, per quarter until a new contract is potentially awarded
Turning to our HFS and all other segments. These segments delivered, quarterly revenue of approximately 39 million
the scale of our HFS segments enables us to offer premium Solutions across our Network, while maintaining substantial asset utilization and a competitive market.
We will continue to balance Network optimization with demand while identifying opportunities to enhance efficiencies and margin contribution.
Moving on to the expanding Workforce, Hospitality Solutions, segment or whs.
This segment which includes our Workforce Hub. Contract generated approximately 15 million dollars in Revenue in the second quarter, primarily related to construction activity
As announced today, the critical nature of this contract led to recent modifications and scope expansion. Increasing its total contract value from 140 million to approximately 154 million.
These Community enhancements will lead to additional construction activity in 2025 and shift. Some previously expected Services Revenue into 2026,
Construction materially complete by the end of 2025.
As we finish construction, we anticipate increased Services Revenue, starting in 2026, and continuing through 2027.
The scope expansion and contract modifications highlight, the vital role of the workforce Hub and the project success.
And we see potential for further scope, expansions, and contract extensions.
This demonstrates, the advantages of our vertically integrated Hospitality Solutions. And our ability to create long-term revenue streams supporting large-scale remote operations.
Recurring corporate expenses for the quarter, where approximately 10 million dollars as we progress through the year, we will continue exploring ways to optimize our cost structure and enhance margin contributions.
Total capital spending for the quarter was approximately $6 million, primarily focused on enhancing asset capabilities within the government’s segments, aligned with our strategic growth initiatives.
During the first half of 2025 targets, business fundamentals and durable. Operating model supported strong cash conversion resulting in over 15 million dollars of cash flows from operations.
These fundamentals are reflected in the strength of our balance sheet and our ability to maintain substantial financial flexibility through prudent capital management.
We ended the quarter with 19 million in cash and a net leverage ratio of 0.1 times.
As of August 1st, we have no outstanding borrowings under the company's 175. Million revolving credit facility. Providing total available, liquidity of over 190 million including approximately 23 million in cash.
This robust liquidity position, further enhances our financial flexibility, as we evaluate a strong pipeline of growth opportunities.
This momentum and positive operating environment along with the expanded scope of the workforce Hub contract. Support our raised outlook for 2025, which now includes total revenue of 310 to 320 million and adjust the width of 50 to 60 million. This raised Outlook reflects, a 15% increase in the midpoint revenue and a 6% increase in the midpoint adjusted ebbed up compared to our previous Outlook.
Target is well positioned with a flexible operating model and an optimized balance sheet. As we continue to evaluate a robust growth growth pipeline, which we believe offers the greatest opportunity to accelerate value creation for our shareholders.
Importantly, as we pursue these opportunities, we will stay focused on maintaining the strong financial profile. We've built while optimizing margin contribution through our efficient. Operating structure with that. I will hand it back to Brad for closing remarks.
Thanks Jason.
In the first half of 2025, we have made significant progress towards achieving key elements of our strategic priorities focused on on expanding and diversifying, our business portfolio.
We announced 2, multi-year contract, serving diverse in markets and are finalizing contract discussions. Supporting the rapidly growing Ai and data center in markets.
Additionally, we see clear opportunities to enhance our growing contract portfolio with expanded service, offerings and term extensions.
We remain focused on maintaining this momentum as we evaluate our strongest growth growth pipeline in many years.
Comprising, both commercial and government in markets. Importantly, this pipeline is supported by an unprecedented. Domestic investment cycle and continued strong demand in the government sector.
We are excited about these opportunities underpinned by robust Market, fundamentals and secular momentum.
We believe that our distinctive capabilities and unparalleled Solutions position us. Well as we actively pursue these strategic growth initiatives designed to provide exceptional value to our shareholders
Thank you for joining us on the call today and again we appreciate your interest in Target hospitality.
We will now open the call for questions.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, you will now begin the question answer session, should you have a question please? Press the star followed by the 1 on your touchtone phone. You will hear a prompt through your hand has been raised. Should you wish to decline from the polling process? Please press the star followed by the 2. If you are using a speaker-phone, please let the handset. Before pressing any Keys 1 moment, please for your first question.
Your first question comes from.
Scott, the Schneckenburger from oppenheim. Please go ahead.
Scott, thank you for taking, uh, taking our questions. I just want to start on West, Texas first. Um, I mean, you mentioned site visits. How how should we think about uh, the steps from here, how how those discussions could progress and the, the potential, uh, for this contract to be, uh, comparable to, uh, to Prior contracts at that side.
What's the question? Yeah. Hey Daniel, this is Mark. So the question was just on, on West Texas timeline and the opportunities there.
Yes. Correct.
Concerning the government, right? Right, yeah. Sorry Dan. We couldn't, we couldn't quite hear you think Daniel? Yeah. Uh, so, so, look timelines, uh, still consistent. What we said, right? We know that the that the reconciliation budget has been passed, but right now we're not seeing that money flow, right? What we do know is we're having some, uh, very good discussions continually with with the government. Uh, we also been told we're on their acquisition list, right? Uh, so as that starts, those funds start to flow, we don't know exactly where in line we're at, but we still feel very good, uh,
On that facility as far as being leased and reactivated, right, there's nothing has changed in that we continue to have different parts of the government out to view the property, take a look and continue, you know, positive statements around that. So we still feel really good about that, uh, as we get in the back half of the year.
Got it. Thank you. Um, yeah. And and then, on the data center opportunity, how should we think about the, uh, I mean, we will get economic details of it eventually. But how should we think about the, uh, the structure there could could that be comparable to the, uh, to the workforce Hub contract. And and it sounds like the timing is uh, is imminent to that. But, uh, any any more caller, you can provide her
Yeah, sure this is Jason so um won't get into too much details. We hope to release more details for you in in the in the near term but I will say on this deal it'll be a bit different than the workforce have contract because we're going to own the assets and uh I would say the margin on that typically is a bit higher, um, than a service is only contracts. So this is a lease in Services agreement not dissimilar to the Dilly uh structure.
Yeah, and look. Let me just hey, Daniel. Let me just add a little bit more to that, and, uh, give you a little bit more color, uh, on this. Uh, but we are, you know, we're waiting on the, on the final contract. What we do have is an early Works contract where we're doing some work on the site. So, uh, I will tell you, this is imminent, uh, as, as far as this happening fairly quickly, uh, in in starting to fully mobilize, uh, on that site. But I think at a higher level, I think it's a, probably a good time. You know, we've talked about the data centers, the the past couple of quarters and and this is really starting to ramp up. It has the ability to be. What we would say is the game-changer for our company, uh, you know, it's kind of a perfect storm. When you look, it's what what's happening in that business? Aside from all the capital spend, uh, that's already committed and weekly more continues to be committed, right? Uh, but if you look across the US, these are going in every
Everywhere, not everyone kind of or not every project fits the the target Hospitality mode, but more and more continue to fit that what's happening is and a lot of these local communities. They're being voted down, right? They're bringing they're they're taking on so much power, so much water. Uh it's massive amounts of people coming into the town. Over a 3 4 5 6 7 year period on the construction cycle, right? So these developers are being forced out into
done over the years, uh, in in the, in the oil and gas in the mining, but on a much larger scale,
Got it. Excellent caller. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
As a reminder, if you wish to ask a question, please press star 1. And your next question comes from Stephen.
Genaro from stipple. Please go ahead.
Uh, thanks. Good morning everybody.
Uh, morning rescue. I can ask when you think about these data center contracts as sort of the duration.
like when I think about oil and gas, it's kind of this great Network approach right where you have people moving around but you have some for someone like a hall Burton over time getting
is this more of like, a
Permanent multi-year facility. Where workers will be in the same spot for years or just kind of more of a shorter term Network approach, which kind of just a lot of demand out there that will continue to fill back.
No, it's the it's it's your first, uh, statement, right? Uh, a large amount of of Workforce in 1 location for many years, right? If you see some of these, uh, that that they're doing that, they're putting out in the Press, you know, first, they need the power and they need the water, right? And then what they say is, we've got a build out of of 7 years. We're going to start with 2. They get those lease and they continually
Build another 2, another 4 as they get the commitment, very similar to the gas when they build a pipeline, right? They get the commitments. They, they they and they continue to fill it. Uh, but these are longer term, right? In huge, multi-billion dollar projects in that 1 location where we're, where we're a very small part of the spin, but a huge critical piece of making success for them. Right, and staying on budget and staying on on, on timeline, without it from some of these locations. Uh, especially with this first 1, they just couldn't get the job done. And we're just seeing more and more of these going remote, getting closer to the power source closer to the water storage being forced out of the bigger cities, uh, and it fits right in our wheelhouse on on these
Thank you. And if I could tie that
Clearly brilliant completion activities week.
It looks like there's some level of maybe a bit lower Norm for a while as you know OPC Works through excess capacity and you know R Rigs and completion activities, much more efficient. So there's less people out there. Are you
Like, what's the source of beds for the data science? Is it taking from the oil and gas network? Is it incremental capacity? Is it a combination of both? Is it possible that the contract doesn't come through? How do we think about the beds?
Yeah, it's the same way we've always thought about it in our business, right? Uh, we we look at any excess capacity, uh, and try to utilize that first, right? Uh, we wouldn't be if you will mothballing the oil and gas side of the business, that's a great business. We have to have a certain number of rooms out there, but we do have some, uh, excess capacity out there that's not being used that. We would, we would first utilize on on the data center. Secondly, we would look in the open market to buy, right? And then we would look to uh, build new what I would tell you. Uh and you look the amount of work that's out there. That's on our radar would absolutely in the future. Have us buying new product, the in short, the amount of work in our pipeline uh, that is is very real and actionable. Uh, and
If we get a few of these, we would absolutely have to go and buy because they're massive, and it's all over the US, right? So we would run out of equipment. That's, that's a high class problem. A good 1, we're okay with that, right? We have the capital structure to make that happen and that'll all be built into the economics of that opportunity. That's appropriate and great counterparties on these huge companies, right? So
Okay, thank you and just 1 quick follow on, be back in. I don't know. 2019, I think the numbers that we were using was about 50,000 bucks per bed. Is that still a reasonable number given the inflation environment, Etc. If you do need to ultimately add capacity or the 2 early accounts,
Make sure that the economics work and and more. So kind of how our HFS and that type of stuff, looks higher economics to the than what you're seeing on a Lac project for sure, right?
Great great. I appreciate the color Brad. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you and your next question comes from. Greg gibbus from North Securities, please go ahead.
Great. Good morning, Brad and Jason. Um, nice to hear of that uh, near finalization of the data center community contract. Um, you know, 1 of the follow-up there in terms of like how competitive the bidding was for that contract and and maybe their the key factors that led them to select Target.
Yeah. Look, uh
I would tell you it was uh they checked our numbers, uh, right. But when, when you look at the scale with some of these uh, the ability to move fast, when you're talking billion dollar projects, that that that they're building, we become a small again, a small piece of the spend. Uh, so it doesn't come down to saving a few bucks on a room. They look at, can you get the job done? Can you help us retain and attract the the workforce that we need? Uh, so it's it's not so much a price point, right? Which is exactly what what we like. It's can you get it done? Can you deliver what you say you're going to deliver on time uh and and and that's really where this went was, it competitive? Sure they're always.
Competitive, uh, but this wasn't a price-driven exercise, and we're not seeing a lot of price-driven exercises on the what, because we have many more of this, uh, that were, or many more of these that we're looking at.
Great. That's very helpful and good to hear. Um, wondering if I could uh, get a little bit more color on on kind of the puts and takes relative to the updated guidance. Um, I I know not a big change, but they're, you know, you mentioned the positive momentum, positive environments and then, you know, some changes to the workforce Hub contract. Um, just wondering what's changed regarding uh, what's implied in? In the updated guidance, ranges.
Yeah, so the two main drivers of the guidance update, uh, the lead driver on the revenue side for sure is the Workforce Hub.
Contract expansion. So now, the total contract value is increased from 140 million to 10054 million driven by construction activities. So that construction activity has expanded. Um, we still anticipate the construction activity to be completed this year. Uh, timing is shifted a little bit, uh, but, uh, that's sort of the main driver behind the guy in, stickland, the revenue side. And then we also had that PCC contract, wrap-up settlement as well that played into the guidance. And that's those are the 2 primary drivers behind the uh, Outlook increase. Yep. Hey, Greg and just, yeah, I don't jump in on Jason here but uh, you know, again this quarter a little bit of noise, right? That
I'll say this, uh, it kind of cleans itself up as we move through the year and and get into 2026 as well. So not really much to pay attention to. As far as the noise here, I it it's kind of a tell of 2 stories, right? Uh, we we seen where this was going, we kind of predicted this other than the, than the timing, but the project got a lot larger, right? We're we're happy to move that to, to the, to the right for the customer and help them. Uh, but the project continues to grow, uh, and then, you know, our numbers get better. As we roll through the year, especially as we add new projects.
Yep, very helpful. Appreciate it guys. And then, um, if I could just follow up on West, Texas assets, you know, not sure if there's that much more, you can share their but, you know, how would you maybe characterize the interest? Um, you know from the government agencies relative to the last quarter if that's changed at all.
It has waned, it it has not waned at, all right, still very high. And to be honest, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's gotten a little higher because they, they got their budget approved, right? Uh, so, so, you know, uh, there's more more more firm discussions about what they're trying to do. But I will tell you
The government and this is not a knock, they just have so much that they're trying to to do, right? And we know they've got the money uh and I think some folks thought well they got the money they'll start writing checks the next day. That's just not how it works. It, it takes time for it to, to get appropriated for it to flow out the doors. Uh, so
That's the trademark name of this. Uh it's a great product, the government's excited about it. It gives us another optionality with them that they've looked at and we've quoted uh on some new builds for them uh for part of this 100,000, uh, room expansion, you know, that they're that they're trying to do or to get to 100,000 rooms. So we think this new, uh, product really helps us as we continue to move forward, not only with the federal, but if the state needs it as well. Uh, so some good stuff going on in the government aside from just the west, Texas asset, lots of opportunity out there
Yeah, that's great to hear. Thanks very much, guys.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Yeah, no further questions at this time. Mr. Brad Archer. You may proceed your conference.
Yeah. Thanks for uh, joining us on the call today and we look forward to talking to you next quarter.
I'll turn the call back over.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude your conference call for today. We thank you very much for your participation. You may now disconnect your line, have a great day,
