On January 17, 2023, the Company delivered a conditional notice of full redemption to the holders of its outstanding 8.750% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Senior Notes"), informing such holders that the Company will redeem all of the 2023 Senior Notes on February 1, 2023 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (the "2023 Senior Notes Redemption"), subject to the Company having issued at least $300 million of units, with each unit consisting of $1,000 principal amount of senior secured notes and shares of the Company's common stock, prior to the Redemption Date.

The Company intends to pay a portion of the redemption price for, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2023 Senior Notes with the net proceeds from the Offering and the remainder with borrowings under its revolving credit facility. In connection with the 2023 Senior Notes Redemption, the Company intends to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes substantially concurrently with the completion of the Offering. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $307.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Senior Notes was outstanding.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption of the 2023 Senior Notes.

The foregoing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are those that do not state historical facts and are, therefore, inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements also include statements that refer to or are based on projections, uncertain events or assumptions. The forward-looking statements included herein, such as those regarding the Company's plan to redeem the 2023 Senior Notes, are based on current expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update those statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

***Preliminary estimate of the Company's selected fourth quarter 2022 financials***

We have prepared the following preliminary financial information to present our estimated results for the three months ended December 31, 2022. We have prepared such information in good faith based upon our internal reporting and accruals as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Such estimates are preliminary and inherently uncertain and subject to change as we finalize our financial and operating data for the fourth quarter of 2022. There can be no assurance that our final results for the fourth quarter of 2022 will not differ materially from these estimates. During the course of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022, we may identify items that could cause our final reported results to be materially different from the preliminary financial estimates presented herein. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from our preliminary estimates are set forth under the headings "Risk factors" and "Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements."

The preliminary estimates presented below have not been audited, reviewed or compiled by our independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, our independent registered public accounting firm does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, this information. In addition, the below information was not prepared with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information but, in our view is reasonable, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents our expected performance.

The preliminary estimates presented below should not be viewed as a substitute for full interim financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). In addition, these preliminary estimates for the three months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period.

Based on the information and data currently available, although our results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 are not yet final, we estimate, on a preliminary basis, that revenue will be within a range of $166.0 million to $168.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $167.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Based on currently available information, we also estimate that our capital expenditures will total $19.0 million to $21.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $29.0 million to $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In addition, we estimate that our net income will be within a range of $7.0 million to $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30,

------

2022, and our Adjusted EBITDA will be within a range of $29.5 million to $31.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $32.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA, see "—Summary historical financial data—Non-GAAP financial measures" below. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 2022 (estimated) and 2021 (actual):
