In a statement, the company said that its production arm wasn’t “freezing” contracts, but rather temporarily suspending them while it performed an analysis of pending deals coming due before year-end. It added that the analysis is being conducted in tandem with its 2025 budget guidance and the evaluation of contracts would not compromise operations next year.
