The first nine months of the year the Company saw stronger results and higher activity levels than in 2023. However, the third quarter saw a reduction in activity, for the first half of the year for two primary reasons. First was apprehension and preparation for a potentially severe forest fire season, leading some customers to delay the execution of planned projects to the end of the forest fire season. The second reason was some customers took advantage of the summer months to allow employees extended time off to prepare employees for the up coming demands of another year of busy field activity. This shift underscores a broader industry commitment to sustainable work practices and the long-term well-being of the workforce, which naturally led to the reduction in activity compared to the first half of the year. Even though the third quarter saw reduced activity, activity levels are higher than in 2023 and contributed to the Company's strong year to date results which included growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA of 12% and 21% respectively. The increasing demand for natural gas power generation systems indicates a shift towards lower emission alternatives, and going forward, market conditions remain favourable for the energy sector, resulting in increased drilling, completion, and infrastructure projects. These factors are expected to continue for the remainder of 2024 and 2025.
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $6,801,309 compared to $8,433,369 in the prior period, a decrease of $1,632,060 or 24%. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $2,521,317 compared to $3,878,931 in the prior period, a decrease of $1,632,060 or 35%. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $1,807,864 compared to $3,402,589 in the prior period, a decrease of $1,594,725 or 47%. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $26,834,878 compared to $23,901,556 in the prior period, an increase of $2,933,322 or 12%. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $12,735,996 compared to $10,657,777 in the prior period, an increase of $2,078,219 or 19%. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $10,797,411 compared to $8,911,144 in the prior period, an increase of $1,886,267 or 21%. Increases in revenue, gross margin and EBITDA for the year, are reflective of increased customer activity in 2024 while maintaining the operating efficiencies of the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the company generated cash flow from operations of $12,102,914 compared to $10,570,610 in the prior year.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired $13,452,761 of capital assets, primarily for natural gas power generation equipment and facilities, upgrading existing equipment, and meeting specific requests from customers.

The use of any of the words "could", "expect", "believe", "will", "projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on the Company's current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events.

Non-IFRS Measures
The Company uses International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore referred to as a non-IFRS measure. This news release contains references to EBITDA. This non-IFRS measure used by the Company may not be comparable to a similar measure used by other companies. Management believes that in addition to net income, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or how the results are taxed. EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and stock based compensation.
