“The second quarter was challenging, as the combined impacts of a global pandemic and deteriorating demand for a substantial portion of the global economy created an unprecedented operating environment. The acceleration of the global pandemic significantly reduced economic activity and the corresponding demand for crude oil, resulting in a pronounced reduction in customer activity in the second quarter. We took aggressive actions to quickly align with demand and appropriately positioned Target to successfully navigate this challenging environment. Despite reduced demand in our energy-oriented assets, Target delivered strong financial results with approximately $15 million of discretionary cash flow for the second quarter,” stated Brad Archer, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“The path for global economic demand remains uncertain for the foreseeable future. However, as we exited the second quarter, we began to see positive trends in several of Target’s operating metrics, including occupancy and utilization. Albeit modest, we do anticipate continued marginal improvements in customer activity and demand through the second half of the year and into 2021. As we progress towards a more normal operating environment, Target’s customer base and contract structure, including exclusivity provisions, will allow the Company to take advantage of a more balanced market,” concluded Mr. Archer.
