Mammoth Energy Services Reports Fiber Construction, Installation Contracts, Expected To Generate ~$7.7M In Sales Over Next 18 Months

Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:TUSK) ("Mammoth" or the "Company") today announced that its fiber division, which was organically started only a few months ago, has been awarded two fiber-related contracts with two different electric cooperatives in the Midwest. Under one of the contracts, the Company will provide make-ready construction services in preparation for fiber installation. Under the second contract, the Company will provide fiber installation services. The projects, which the Company anticipates will begin in the coming weeks, are expected to generate an aggregate of approximately $7.7 million in revenue over the next 18 months.

"These contracts mark the first projects for our newly established fiber business and reflect the ongoing expansion of our infrastructure suite of services," said Arty Straehla, CEO of Mammoth. "The recently passed infrastructure bill contains $65 billion to improve broadband access across the U.S. Of this amount, over $40 billion is for new fiber construction. We expect this to create opportunities for many providers to continue to build or start to build fiber networks for their customers and anticipate bidding opportunities for projects like the ones we have been awarded to be robust as a result of the new infrastructure bill."
