Management Comments

Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the ProPetro team, we delivered another strong quarter.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Revenue was $359 million, compared to $321 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The 12% increase in revenue was largely attributable to strong utilization and resilient pricing across all service lines.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $46 million relating to cost of services, were $264 million during the first quarter of 2025.

General and administrative ("G&A") expense of $28 million decreased from $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. G&A expense excluding nonrecurring and noncash items (stock-based compensation, retention bonuses and severance expenses) of $5 million, was $23 million, or 6% of revenue, a decrease of 6% as compared to the prior quarter.

Net income totaled $10 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income for the first quarter of 2025 included a net loss on disposal of assets of $10 million primarily related to the sale of certain Tier II hydraulic fracturing equipment. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 included goodwill impairment expense of $24 million, associated income tax benefit of $7 million and a net gain on disposal of assets and business of $5 million primarily related to the sale of the Vernal, Utah cementing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $73 million from $53 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily related to increased revenues and prudent cost management.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $55 million as compared to $38 million in the prior quarter.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 24, 2024, the Company announced a $100 million increase to its share repurchase program, increasing it to a total of $200 million while extending the plan to May 2025. Since the program's inception, the Company has repurchased 13.0 million shares, representing approximately 11% of outstanding common stock. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares, as it prioritized the launch and scaling of the PROPWR business. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors, the Company intends to extend the share repurchase program before it expires next month.

PROPWR Update

Mr. Sledge added, "Earlier this year, we reported a total of approximately 140 megawatts of mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment on order. Since then, we have placed additional orders for approximately 80 megawatts of natural gas reciprocating generators, which are expected to be funded from our cash flow. With this addition, our equipment type is split evenly between turbines and natural gas reciprocating generators. We anticipate full delivery of all ordered PROPWR equipment – approximately 220 megawatts – by mid-year 2026.

We are encouraged by the sustained robust demand for these assets and have secured letters of intent for approximately 75 megawatts of long-term PROPWR service capacity with two separate operators in the Permian Basin to support their in-field power needs, with final contract execution expected soon.

These early results are promising, and we believe they represent just the beginning for PROPWR. We have made significant progress in securing additional customer commitments and are actively negotiating long-term contracts beyond today's announcements. We believe the demand for reliable, low-emission power solutions is vast and growing, and we are strategically positioning PROPWR to capitalize on this high-growth market."

Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of March 31, 2025, total cash was $63 million and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million. Total liquidity at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was $197 million including cash and $134 million of available capacity under the ABL Credit Facility.

Capital expenditures incurred during the first quarter of 2025 were $39 million, which primarily related to maintenance and a down payment for the initial PROPWR turbine orders. Net cash used in investing activities as shown on the statement of cash flows during the first quarter of 2025 was $33 million.

Guidance

The Company now anticipates full-year 2025 capital expenditures to be between $295 million and $345 million, down 9% at the midpoint from prior guidance. Of this, the completions business is expected to account for $125 million to $175 million, a reduction from the original guidance thanks to additional successful cost optimization efforts. Additionally, the Company plans to allocate $170 million in 2025 and $60 million in 2026 to support current PROPWR equipment orders. As a reminder, $104 million of the PROPWR capital expenditures is financed.

During the first quarter, 14 to 15 hydraulic fracturing fleets were active. Due to the recent decline in oil prices, influenced by tariffs and OPEC+ production increases, along with a disciplined asset deployment strategy, the Company anticipates operating approximately 13 to 14 active hydraulic fracturing fleets in the second quarter of 2025.

Outlook

Mr. Sledge concluded, "As we look ahead to the remainder of 2025, our priorities are unchanged – we will continue to industrialize our operations, accelerate high-return investments, and remain disciplined stewards of capital. While longer-term visibility remains limited, we believe our strategic positioning, anchored by a strong balance sheet, disciplined capital expenditures, and differentiated offerings, positions us well for the road ahead. We are focused on controlling what we can, executing our strategy and building a more resilient, valuable ProPetro."

Reportable Segment Information

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) plus impairment expense, less income tax benefit. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) loss (gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) business acquisition contingent consideration adjustments, (iv) other expense (income), (v) other unusual or nonrecurring (income) expenses such as impairment expenses, costs related to asset acquisitions, insurance recoveries, one-time professional fees and legal settlements and (vi) retention bonus and severance expense. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, and net cash from operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA or Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
