(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is described and reconciled to net income (loss) in the table under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. (2) Free Cash Flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is described and reconciled to cash from operating activities in the table under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
EXHIBIT 99.1 2 Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The fourth quarter was an exciting end to a transformational year for ProPetro. Thanks to the hard work of our team throughout 2022, we improved profitability, executed a disciplined approach to asset deployment, and successfully pursued accretive growth, strengthening our business and positioning the Company for more sustained, long-term success. We have significantly advanced our strategy to industrialize the business, and are confident that ProPetro is well-positioned to execute on the many value- enhancing opportunities ahead in 2023 and beyond.” David Schorlemer, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “2022 was a significant investment year for ProPetro in which we recapitalized our fleet, made important progress in transitioning to over 35% natural gas-burning equipment and executed an accretive transaction with Silvertip, all while protecting our liquidity. Despite a fourth quarter impacted by weather, holiday-related seasonality and the strategic repositioning of certain fleets, for the full year we were proud to deliver a revenue increase of 46%, an Adjusted EBITDA increase of 134% and an Adjusted EBITDA margin increase of 930 basis points as compared to the prior year.” Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Summary Revenue was $349 million, compared to $333 million for the third quarter of 2022. Despite the Company's slight decrease in utilization, the increase in revenue is attributable to pricing increases and added revenue from Silvertip. Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $34 million, increased to $243 million from $224 million during the third quarter of 2022. The increase was also attributable to the Silvertip acquisition, additional strategic supply chain purchases, and cost inflation across all of our service lines in the fourth quarter of 2022. General and administrative expense of $27 million decreased from $28 million in the third quarter of 2022. General and administrative expense excluding non-recurring expense (net) of $5 million relating to legal settlement and expenses (net of insurance recovery), stock-based compensation of $4 million, and other non-recurring expenses of $1 million was $22 million, or 6% of revenue, which is flat compared to the third quarter of 2022. Net income totaled $13 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $84 million from $90 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to our decreased utilization caused by our fleet repositioning efforts, and the combination of holiday seasonality and weather impacts, and the costs of activating our 15th fleet.
EXHIBIT 99.1 3 Liquidity and Capital Spending As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $89 million and borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility were $30 million. Total liquidity at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 was $155 million, which included cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our ABL Credit Facility. As of February 20, 2023, borrowings under the Company's ABL Credit Facility were $30 million and our total liquidity was approximately $143 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $35 million and $107 million of availability under our ABL Credit Facility. Capital expenditures incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022 were $89 million, the majority of which related to maintenance expenditures, our previously announced Tier IV DGB conversions, and approximately $18 million in strategic supply chain purchases of fixed asset inventory items. Net cash used in investing activities during the fourth quarter of 2022 was $110 million. Guidance and Recent Results ProPetro’s outlook for full year 2023 cash capital expenditures is expected to be between $250 million and $300 million, a reduction compared to 2022. The Company anticipates that ongoing fleet revitalization and strategic investments will continue to provide value for ProPetro’s shareholders. Additionally, based on its current outlook for the first quarter of 2023, ProPetro anticipates frac fleet utilization ranging between 14.5 to 15.5 fleets. In January of 2023, despite some weather impacts and running only 14 fleets for the majority of the month, the Company generated revenues of $136 million and incurred cost of services of $88 million, and general and administrative costs of $8 million, exclusive of stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items of approximately $2 million. Importantly, we now have our 15th frac fleet operational today and expect full year utilization to average between 15 and 16 fleets. These preliminary results are subject to the completion of the customary quarterly and year-end closing and review process and may be subject to change after completion of the year-end audit. See Cautionary Statement Regarding Preliminary Financial Information below. Outlook Mr. Schorlemer, added, “As we proceed in 2023, we expect that demand for our services will remain robust. Thanks to the work undertaken in the fourth quarter to reposition and reprice our
EXHIBIT 99.1 4 assets, we began 2023 strong. We believe our January performance is a strong baseline and expect to build upon that momentum as we move through the balance of 2023.” Mr. Sledge concluded, “We are encouraged by our early 2023 results and the opportunities ahead for ProPetro. We continue to transition our fleet and remain disciplined with regard to capital deployment, both of which will allow us to advance our position as a leading completions-focused oilfield services company. At the same time, we are taking actions to ensure that ProPetro is positioned to meet head-on any broader industry headwinds that may arise. Moving forward, we are confident ProPetro is well-positioned to capitalize on a large and attractive market opportunity within the Permian Basin and drive enhanced returns for our shareholders in what we believe should be a multi-year up-cycle. We remain focused on the pillars of our strategy: optimizing our businesses, transitioning our fleet and executing strategic transactions to accelerate Free Cash Flow.” Conference Call and Other Information The Company will host a conference call at 8:00 AM Central Time on February 22, 2023, to discuss financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2022.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus (i) loss (gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) other expense (income), (iv) other general and administrative expense (net) and (v) severance expense. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. 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 EBITDA, and net cash provided by 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 EBITDA or Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because 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.
