While again affirming his commitment to ERII’s prior corporate strategy and initiatives, Mr. Gannon revealed changes in (1) organization, as he’s created distinct business units for Water and Oil & Gas; (2) Water’s growth mandate, which has become more ambitious and broader in scope; (3) Oil & Gas’s near-term focus, which has narrowed to commercialization progress on with all other PX-derivative developments temporarily suspended; and (4) tone of and approach to guidance. On the whole, we felt he and his message were positively received.”
