2020 Capital Expenditures and Operational Guidance

The Company reaffirms its 2020 capital expenditures and operational guidance previously published on May 18, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2020, the Company's total liquidity was $69.9 million, based on $11.2 million of cash, excluding restricted cash and $58.7 million available under its credit facility. The Company currently has $12.0 million drawn under its $75.0 million facility and $4.3 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Given the net proceeds from the third quarter sale of our corporate headquarters for $35.4 million as well as several initiatives from prior quarters expected to optimize free cash flow, including personnel and non-personnel cost reductions and entering into commodity derivative contracts for natural gas, we were able to alleviate prior conditions that gave rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
