Management believes that in addition to net earnings (loss), EBITDAS is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the Corporation's ability to generate cash flow in order to fund working capital, service debt, pay current income taxes and fund capital programs. Management believes that in addition to net earnings, operating earnings (loss) is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or taxed. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDAS and operating earnings (loss) should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Corporation's performance. Horizon's method of calculating EBITDAS and operating earnings (loss) may differ from other entities and accordingly, EBITDAS and operating earnings(loss) may not be comparable to measures used by other entities. (2) Long-term financial liabilities include operating lines of credit, and current and long-term portions of long-term debt. (3) Funds from operations is not a recognized measure under GAAP. Management believes that in addition to cash flow from operations, funds from operations is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the cash flow generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to consideration of changes in working capital. Investors should be cautioned, however, that funds from operations should not be construed as an alternative to cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Corporation's performance. Horizon's method of calculating funds from operations may differ from other entities and accordingly, funds from operations may not be comparable to measures used by other entities. Funds from operations is equal to cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash working capital items related to operations. (4) Debt to total capitalization is calculated as the ratio of debt to total capitalization. Debt is defined as the sum of operating lines of credit and long-term debt. Total capitalization is calculated as the sum of debt and shareholder's equity
Overview and Outlook
Horizon's core businesses continue to be driven by oil sands development activity in northern Alberta. Our expanded BlackSand facilities near Fort McMurray, Alberta are running at capacity and are expected to remain full through 2011. Our manufacturing facilities are fully utilized and are 75% booked through 2011, primarily dedicated to oil sands related projects.
Activity in the western Canadian mining sector has continued to build following improved mineral pricing, with a number of new and expanding camp manufacturing and management projects on the horizon.
Opportunities continue to develop related to unconventional natural gas development projects with potential to participate through camp manufacturing and/or provision of camp rental and catering and management services.
Our road and location matting business has also benefited from increased activity and continues to experience strong utilization which we expect to continue through the rest of 2010 and into 2011.
Highlights for the quarter included:
- 91% increase in bed rental days compared to Q3 2009; - 29% increase in mat rental days compared to Q3 2009; - 111% increase in manufacturing revenues as compared to Q3 2009.
These factors contributed to a 100% increase in revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $67.7 million as compared to $33.8 million in the same period of the prior year.
EBITDAS for the quarter improved significantly over the same period in the prior year to $17.5 million or 26% of revenues as compared to $5.3 million or 16% of revenues in the prior year. Significant factors affecting EBITDAS for the quarter were:
- EBITDAS from the Camps & Catering segment grew significantly with increased contributions from both the BlackSand operations and manufacturing projects; - EBITDAS from the Matting segment increased slightly and showed improved margins at 39% of revenues; - EBITDAS from Marine Services was $2.7 million or 55% of revenues in the current period as a result of some one-time summer projects compared to a slight loss in the prior year.
Activity is expected to continue to increase driven mainly by the Camps & Catering segment on both rental and catering and manufacturing activity. As a result, the Corporation's combined cash flow and borrowing capacity through our credit facilities will be sufficient to support existing capital and operational plans.

(2) One catering only day equals the provision of catering and housekeeping services with no related bed rental for one day.
Revenue from operations in the Camps & Catering segment was $54,632,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $27,892,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $26,740,000 or 96%. EBITDAS from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $13,228,000 or 24% of revenue compared to $5,022,000, or 18% of revenue in the same period in 2009.
Camp rental and catering revenue
Revenues from camp rental and catering operations were $28,458,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $14,246,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $14,212,000, or 100%. Revenues are derived from the following main business areas: (a) the BlackSand facilities which include the Executive Lodge and craft camp facilities, north of Fort McMurray, Alberta and (b) the Conventional camp and catering operations which include open camps, drill camps, catering only work, and ancillary equipment rentals.
(a) BlackSand Revenues from the BlackSand facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $17,420,000 as compared to $7,557,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase of $9,863,000 came primarily from higher utilization and an increased number of rentable beds. The third quarter of 2010 was the first fully operational quarter for the expanded lodge and craft camp facilities. Throughout the second quarter of 2010, 144 newly manufactured beds were added to the Executive Lodge and 191 beds were redeployed from the existing open camp fleet and added to the craft camp. Total rentable beds available were 1,300 in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to 965 in the same period in 2009. Bed rental days for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were 107,858 as compared to 47,287 in the same period in 2009, for an average utilization of 90% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to average utilization of 53% during the same period in 2009. On a per bed rental day basis, revenues increased to $162 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $160 per day in the same period in 2009 as a result of the rental mix between executive and craft accommodations. The higher utilization for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was from increased activity by oil sands operators on turn-around projects and regular operational maintenance work as compared to the same period of 2009 when many oil sands operators had reduced activity waiting for signs of a more stable economy. (b) Conventional camp rental and catering Revenues from open camp and drill camp operations, which combine both bed rental and provision of catering and housekeeping services, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $3,399,000 as compared to $3,230,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $169,000. The increase in revenue was driven by higher volumes in the drill camp business which were offset by slightly lower volumes in the open camp business. Of note, 191 beds were redeployed from the open camp fleet in early 2010. Bed rental days were 24,131 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 21,975 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 2,156 days with the majority of the increase from the drill camp business. Revenues per bed rental day basis were slightly lower at $141 per day in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $147 in the same period in 2009. The lower revenue per bed rental day is a result of the mix of equipment and service in the open camp business. The increased bed days in the drill camp business indicate a higher level activity however the utilization of the drill camp fleet was 6% in the three months ended September, 30 2010 compared to 10% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in utilization is a result of the net addition of 31 drill camps which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2009. Revenue generated by the provision of bed rental only for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,643,000 as compared to $389,000 in the same period in 2009. The increase was from a single short-term contract for equipment rental only in the third quarter of 2010. Revenues from the provision of catering and housekeeping only services, with no associated bed rentals, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $5,996,000 as compared to $3,070,000 in the same period in 2009, an increase of $2,926,000. Catering only days were 52,801 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 27,974 for the same period in 2009. The majority of the increased volume was from the mining sector in the Northwest Territories where the Corporation operates a customer owned camp at a gold mine under construction. Catering and housekeeping only revenues associated with this project are expected to keep pace with ongoing, increasing development. The remainder of the increase in volume came from catering and housekeeping only on customer owned drill camps, which was consistent with the increased drilling activity in western Canada.
Camp and space sales revenue
Camp and space sales revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $15,785,000 as compared to $7,484,000 for the same period in 2009.
The increase of $8,301,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 came from two large projects which were announced in the second quarter of 2010. The Kamloops, British Columbia and Grande Prairie, Alberta plants completed orders in hand and internal production during the beginning of the quarter then ramped up mid-August to full production on these new projects in September. This production level is expected to continue well into 2011. For the same period of 2009 both production facilities had smaller projects and had scaled back resources in response to the slower economic conditions.
Rental revenue
Space rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,109,000 as compared to $1,277,000 in the same period 2009. Rental fleet utilization was 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 73% in the same period 2009 with increased volumes offset by competitive pricing conditions.
Service revenue
Revenues from service work for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $9,280,000 as compared to $4,885,000 in the same period of 2009, an increase of $4,395,000. Service revenue is comprised of camp mobilization, demobilization, transportation and installation work. This revenue is largely driven by activity levels in the camp rental and catering business and camp and space sales business. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 activity in both the camp rentals and camp and space sales was up significantly over the same period of 2009 as discussed above.
EBITDAS
EBITDAS from the Camps & Catering operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $13,228,000 or 24% of revenue as compared to $5,022,000 or 18% of revenue for the same period of 2009. In the third quarter of 2009 additional costs of $540,000 were incurred to remediate some moisture issues at the BlackSand lodge and on an adjusted basis, the EBITDAS in the three months ended September 30, 2009 would have been $5,562,000 or 20% of revenue. The increase in EBITDAS, as a percentage of revenue, came primarily from higher utilization and improved efficiencies at the BlackSand facilities. EBITDAS, as a percentage of revenue, from the other operations remained relatively consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.
Matting
Matting revenue is comprised of mat rental revenue, mat sales revenue, installation, transportation, service, and other revenue as follows:
Three months ended Nine months ended (000's except September 30 September 30 rental days --------------------------- --------------------------- and mats) 2010 2009 2010 2009 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Mat rental revenue $ 2,208 $ 1,504 $ 4,862 $ 3,717 Mat sales revenue 2,059 1,220 6,635 3,340 Installation, transportation, service and other revenue 4,031 2,394 11,977 7,227 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total revenue $ 8,298 $ 5,118 $ 23,474 $ 14,284 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- EBITDAS $ 3,259 $ 1,791 $ 7,011 $ 4,073 Operating earnings (loss) $ 1,851 $ 372 $ 2,789 $ (466) Mat rental days 1,034,474 649,750 2,364,414 1,493,597 Average mats in rental fleet 13,400 13,421 12,673 13,125 Mats sold New mats 2,305 870 5,019 2,144 Used mats 951 1,738 6,312 3,828 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total mats sold 3,256 2,608 11,331 5,972
Revenues from the Matting segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $8,298,000 as compared to $5,118,000 for the same period of 2009, an increase of $3,180,000 or 62%.
Mat rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,208,000 as compared to $1,504,000 in the same period of 2009, an increase of $704,000, or 47%. Mat rental days were 1,034,474 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 649,750 in the same period 2009. Activity was driven by stronger shale gas activity, demand from oil sands operators and by wet weather which required customers to rent mats and extend existing rentals. The increase in mat rental days was partially offset by slightly lower rental rates. Mat rental rates for the third quarter of 2010 were $2.13 per day as compared to $2.31 per day in the same period in 2009, a decrease of $0.18 per day. The year to date 2010 daily mat rental rate of $2.06 compared to the third quarter 2010 rate of $2.13 indicates that as rental demand increases daily mat rental rates are strengthening as well.
Mat sales revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,059,000 as compared to $1,220,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $839,000 or 69% of revenue. The total number of mats sold increased compared to the same period in 2009, as overall customer demand and activity levels increased in 2010. Revenue per mat sold during the third quarter of 2010 was $632, up from $468 in the third quarter of 2009. The higher revenue per mat is reflective of the mix of new and used mats sold, as new mats have a higher selling price than used mats.
Installation, transportation, service and other revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $4,031,000 as compared to $2,394,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $1,637,000 or 68%. Service revenue is driven primarily from the mat rental and mat sale business with the increase following stronger mat sales and mat rental days, as well as movement of 41,000 customer owned mats.
EBITDAS for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,259,000 or 39% of revenue as compared to $1,791,000 or 35% of revenue for the same period in 2009. The increase is attributable to increased utilization of the mat rental fleet and the mix of more new mats sold as a percentage of total mats.
Marine Services
Marine Services revenue is comprised of tug and barge revenue, barge camp revenue, and rental and other revenue as follows:

Revenues from the Marine Services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $4,954,000 as compared to $1,109,000 in the same period in 2009, an increase of $3,845,000. Tug and barge revenues were driven by a customer's offshore ocean rig refurbishment project. The project occurred as a direct result of increased scrutiny placed on offshore drilling projects. This work was performed to facilitate mobilization of the drilling vessel into US waters where it will provide relief capability for future offshore drilling. This work will not recur in 2011. There were 200 tug days in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to 57 in the same period in 2009. Barge camp revenues were related to the ongoing provision of two barge camps and associated service and support personnel at a customer's mining project in Nunavut. Rental and other revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2010 includes a penalty fee of $250,000 related to a customer postponing their 2010/2011 barge camp rental commitments.
EBITDAS for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,709,000 as compared to a loss of $175,000 for same period in 2009, an increase of $2,884,000. As a percentage of revenue, EBITDAS for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 55% compared to a loss of 16% in the same period of 2009. The third quarter of 2009 had one time expenses of $610,000 for repairs to a base camp facility, while the third quarter of 2010 included a penalty fee of $250,000. Normalizing for these factors EBITDAS for three months ended September 30, 2010 would have been $2,459,000 or 52% of revenue compared to $435,000 or 39% of revenue in the same period of 2009. The increase as a percent of revenue is mainly due to a large portion of the revenues being generated from the barge camp rentals which require minimal ongoing support costs.
