Analysis
Mammoth reported third-quarter revenue from continuing operations of $21.3 million, up 95% year-over-year from $10.9 million, although below $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2026. Net income from continuing operations was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with losses from continuing operations of $12.6 million and $1.2 million in the year-ago and prior quarters, respectively. Operating income (loss) remained $ (421) (in thousands), while net income from continuing operations benefited from $ 1,173 (in thousands) of gain on marketable securities, net.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $5.8 million, compared with ($4.8) million in the third quarter of 2025 and $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 27.2%, up from 10.0% in the second quarter, and the Company reported a 15.0% Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first nine months. Rental Services was the principal contributor, generating $5.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA, supported by aviation fleet expansion and higher aviation utilization. Natural Sand Proppant Services generated $1.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA after reporting $5.2 million of revenue, while Accommodation Services generated $1.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA on $3.4 million of revenue.
Aviation remained the central capital-allocation priority. Mammoth invested $41.8 million in the quarter, led by aviation, and reported $ 97,513 (in thousands) of capital expenditures from continuing operations for the nine-month period. The aviation portfolio reached 44 assets, and 29 assets were revenue-producing as of September 30, 2026. Liquidity included $37.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2026, no funded debt, an undrawn revolving credit facility with $20.0 million of available borrowing capacity, and a subsequent senior secured term loan facility with aggregate commitments of up to $58.0 million.
The quarter also showed uneven demand across the portfolio. Rental and accommodations utilization advanced, with 430 pieces of rental equipment and 270 accommodation rooms utilized on average. Sand volume and pricing were higher than the third quarter of 2025, with approximately 228,000 tons sold at $22.18 per ton, but Sand revenue declined from the second quarter due to a $3.0 million decline in freight revenue. Drilling revenue also declined sequentially as utilization and activity levels decreased. Management raised its full-year 2026 outlook for the third time, reaffirming revenue growth expected to exceed 90% and lifting expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to the mid-teens.
The initial 2027 outlook calls for Adjusted EBITDA to increase by more than 40% compared with full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA. That outlook is tied to continued deployment of the existing aviation fleet, incremental aviation investments and operating improvement across the portfolio, and does not assume material aviation asset sales. The key reported execution variables are aviation utilization and deployment, Sand freight revenue, drilling activity, and the Company’s ability to fund investment while net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $ (9,863) (in thousands) for the first nine months of 2026.
Management, verbatim
This was an outstanding quarter for Mammoth and a clear demonstration of our focus on driving returns. Revenue nearly doubled year over year to $21.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled sequentially to $5.8 million, and our Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 27% from 10% in the second quarter.
Mark Layton, Chief Financial Officer of Mammoth
Aviation remains our priority for capital deployment based on its returns profile. We invested $41.8 million in the quarter, led by aviation. The growth in aviation leasing assets enhances our recurring revenue profile while requiring comparatively modest incremental operating personnel as additional assets are deployed.
Mark Layton, Chief Financial Officer of Mammoth
As we look ahead to 2027, we currently expect Adjusted EBITDA to increase by more than 40% compared with full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA, driven primarily by the growing contribution from our aviation leasing platform and continued focus on operating execution and margin improvement.
Mark Layton, Chief Financial Officer of Mammoth
