Geographically, Calfrac's revenue is concentrated in North America and Argentina. The North America segment serves the Williston Basin and broader Rockies region, while the Argentinean segment operates in the Neuquen and Comodoro Rivadavia regions. The company's exposure to these regions may be subject to local economic and regulatory conditions, which could impact its revenue stability [doc:HA-latest]. Looking at growth, Calfrac's outlook for the current fiscal year shows a revenue increase of 12.3% year-over-year, driven by higher demand for fracturing services in the Williston Basin. For the next fiscal year, the company projects a 9.8% revenue growth, supported by continued activity in the Piceance and Uinta Basins. These projections are based on the company's historical revenue performance and current market conditions [doc:HA-latest].

The company's capital structure includes long-term debt of CAD 221.94 million and total equity of CAD 664.28 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.33. The current ratio of 1.77 indicates that the company has sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events include the company's 2023 annual report, which highlighted increased capital expenditures and a focus on expanding its service offerings in Argentina.
