Looking ahead, we are experiencing higher activity levels in our core businesses and remain excited about TEAM’s prospects for the future, particularly as operational and strategic changes begin to positively impact results. We expect further improvements as our action plan accelerates, giving us increased confidence in our ability to enhance shareholder value.”
