The negative operating and net income suggest that the company is not yet achieving sustainable profitability [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is concentrated in a few key markets, including marine bunkering, industrial, and energy. While the company operates in multiple end markets, the financial data does not provide a breakdown of revenue by segment. Geographically, the company's operations are primarily in North America, with liquefiers in Texas and Louisiana.
