$253.6 million , an increase of18.1% compared to Q2 2023 and an increase of9.5% compared to Q1 2024. The increase in Q2 2024 was primarily driven by strong natural resource market activity levels in WAFES and the full quarter inclusion of the CMI Management LLC ("CMI") acquisition which closed at the end of February 2024;Q2 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of discontinued operations, was
$29.3 million compared to$25.2 million and$19.6 million for Q2 2023 and Q1 2024, respectively. The increase from the same period last year and last quarter was due primarily to improved IFM margins, strong workforce accommodations occupancy, and high camp equipment and access matting asset utilization.For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Free Cash Flow ("FCF") improved compared to the same quarter in 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net earnings from continuing operations were$12.2 million compared to$8.9 million for the Q2 2023.

$0.19 in Q2 2024 and increased from$0.14 compared to the same quarter last year. Earnings per share from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was$0.26 and$0.21 , respectively; andDexterra declared a dividend for Q3 2024 of
