Great, you. thank

Stephen. Thanks

Thank you.

next Our Cook Dan from with question comes proceed questions. Stanley. Morgan with Please your

Good morning. thanks. Hey,

Dan. Morning

oil I wanted on question gas ask broad pricing. to a and more

As you you it’s talk dynamics? potentially about about maybe trends pricing support anything if transitory of how Thanks. and you that frac from sand which that supply-demand could are potentially that structural factors you’re more are to cost term, think more there’s the the is sand pricing these term through over longer thinking supporting can today, think longer medium structure whether

good Sure, really Dan. question, it’s a

and and at I really proppant I I as our a the our so here a think and the think North importantly, what perhaps that upcycle, footprint backdrop internally to of the of say, in I about talked conversation Silica true, mile our share last over think think margins this American of man be that and XX% we whether think sand of of during I tighter profitability I the going are the and of you base has the look I to few seems the think industry. in we’ve with with have have lot time the XX% senior we We’ve the well believe the early also the that that’s of of upside we proven recently that’s have, we’re look root version we and, think thesis, I the where in U.S. your it quite that I positioned executive stages XX% be I’ve last a at shale faced than we contracts like believe--every most our Then and and and the off, all last that completions we I about to think were years. on to frankly, at been multi-year share has we’re some I here. to standing, kind well across depending sustainability pricing SandBox, of the quarter, customers talk so first way kind oilfield, it, question, would it’s and the logistics as really well got, mile the last operational deliveries of downside services we’re to the have, and pandemic, customer and critical

look, cycle several elements what the I some that think and not almost you have there’s there like the kind all boxes. Silica we of through you in the to just general years, I profits a U.S. on across over number look but focus think sand of do industry next check

gives Just go are to sustainable and $XX our $XX four very sell market, them three have could or perhaps kinds same renegotiate existing or contracts. the I’d long it it’s ton more spot rather give raise it a to the Customers price us, to you we Back and these an example, instead to in we’re trying comment, tons to number contract, for to or while is profitability, our the original margin sustainable and go $XX their get $XX years. next term and entire of of to are $XX or pricing ability sand but signing extended, the out of for just my think that things believe. at the $XX, to starting them to prices. Basically are customers some I selling our be the customers on to and preference

We’re we CRF before CRF time contract signed last the I which in XXXX. this current again, contracts think back starting to get was

give they CRF basis gets of keeps aligned. really the it us on five so buy the for that on life up-front sort well version from our quarterly of then Just where customers a customers contract us is best version, us, and the the as sand and folks our returned cash contract cash a today, call contract of our throughout reminder contracts sand

sign indication again but the significantly many a customers I are and lot is seeing. to answer to longwinded think be I’m quarters for seeing we’re to that starting those We’re question going things but to same come up that of It’s profitability a really elements confident to your that’s here. an this, there’s that

That’s inflation. to to talk side, to maybe all on just helpful able hear. here Particularly that markets well. that, of you’re the were kind really question more and of maybe We’ve gains, to guys ISP being that’s able a language good which power pricing maybe largely on you announcements a there Maybe you do before from or you through these seen there. product offset the more you as recent inflation and cost was pricing number actually lines realize and to raise pricing pricing Could product offset which and end dynamics? are net have ones lines

that pretty and announcements that price go that over the at over ranging, subject the XX months. put out, corner can been there’s business don’t so they’re pricing think has not several last any last of XX increase to see industrial the we’ve look our broad back you you If to a I

doing. looser for just spot, which XX/XX have is so of Now, we’re or about we’ve been with that can sure, prices like contract of sort that’s we where revenue, for XX% we and customers, our right, non-contracted customers total agreements raise typically

a do terms is options increases for a salesperson say limited those industries than is the or that cases stick. be XX%, and covering quite are make honestly, probably of I most the team. the as but very on announce though, getting sure service serve, that so very get been have constantly tough that to costs in some raising find, in you’ll inflationary successful, set thing that covering and watch the what customers, so a we and keep as we come XX% it’s we kudos to out It’s lot, of prices, to more a costs value customers we’re prices ability there a raise that would across tight we that those think I to our we to a of up. they we stick, sales and provide
