This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the Wolfpack acquisition, expected synergies, financial performance, integration, and growth strategy. Words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "may," "should," "could," "will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements contain such words.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events with respect to, among other things: our operating cash flows; the availability of capital and our liquidity; our ability to renew and refinance our debt; our future revenue, income and operating performance; our ability to sustain and improve our utilization, revenue and margins; our ability to maintain acceptable pricing for our services; future capital expenditures; our ability to finance equipment, working capital and capital expenditures; our ability to execute our long-term growth strategy and to integrate our acquisitions; our ability to successfully develop our research and technology capabilities and implement technological developments and enhancements; and the timing and success of strategic initiatives and special projects, as well as our ability to integrate the business of Wolfpack and realize the expected benefits of the Wolfpack acquisition.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results could differ materially from our current expectations. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the following: general economic conditions, including inflation, increases in interest rates, or a recession; persistent volatility in national and global crude oil demand and crude oil prices, which generally leads to decreased spending by our customers and negatively impacts drilling, completion and production activity; the cyclical nature and volatility of the oil and gas industry, which impacts the level of exploration, production and development activity and spending patterns by oil and natural gas exploration and production companies; overall domestic and global political and economic conditions, including the imposition of tariffs or trade or economic sanctions, political instability or armed conflict, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, the Israel-Gaza region and elsewhere in the Middle East; the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by our customers; overcapacity and other competitive factors affecting our industry; supply chain issues; legislative or regulatory changes affecting the energy industry; the loss of or interruption in operations of one or more key suppliers; hazards and operational risks that may not be fully covered by insurance; increased labor costs or the inability to employ a sufficient number of key employees and skilled workers; reliance on information technology and the possibility of cyberattacks; and other risks and uncertainties listed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file from time to time, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Measures

Historical Wolfpack revenue and Adjusted EBITDA and revenue are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results in future periods may differ materially from prior periods.
