EXHIBIT 99.1 ProPetro Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2023 MIDLAND, Texas, November 1, 2023, (Business Wire) – ProPetro Holding Corp. ("ProPetro" or "the Company") (NYSE: PUMP) today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2023. Third Quarter 2023 Results and Highlights • Total revenue of $424 million. • Net Income was $35 million ($0.31 per diluted share), a 5th consecutive quarter of net income. • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $108 million, or 25% of revenue. • Capital expenditures of $59 million. • Published our first ProPetro ProEnergy ProPeople Sustainability Report for 2023. • Successfully commissioned our first FORCESM electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet. • Effective frac fleet utilization was 15.5 fleets compared to 15.9 fleets in the prior quarter. • Repurchased and retired 1.9 million shares during the quarter with total repurchases of 4.2 million shares representing approximately 4% of outstanding shares since plan inception in May 2023. • Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $118 million with Free Cash Flow(2) of approximately $27 million. (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." Management Comments Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to build on our momentum with yet another quarter of strong financial results. Thanks to solid execution by the ProPetro team, we continue to execute on our strategic priorities. We are excited to have deployed our new and innovative FORCESM electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet offering. The hard work and dedication of the ProPetro team and our partners and customers were critical in making this a success. The FORCESM electric-powered fleets along with our Tier IV DGB dual-fuel fleets are part of our strategy to transition our equipment to more desirable assets delivering premium value to our customers while lowering emissions through industry- leading natural gas substitution. This first FORCESM fleet deployment was a major milestone for the Company and I cannot be more pleased with how our team has rallied to optimize this deployment and begin preparation for our next FORCESM deployment later this month." Mr. Sledge continued, "Financial performance remained strong during the third quarter despite some market pressures. We believe our financial results were more durable due to our bifurcated premium completion services coupled with our next-generation equipment, located primarily in the prolific and resilient Permian Basin. Our investments in new technologies, optimizing our business, and commitment to a disciplined pricing and asset deployment strategy resulted in another quarter of strong net income. Our team is excited to continue to deliver our differentiated services to our customers and we expect our strategy to continue to generate improved financial returns for all our stakeholders.” David Schorlemer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "The third quarter was an example of the resilient business we're building at ProPetro. We are focused on our strategy that is ideally-suited for the continued
EXHIBIT 99.1 industrialization of the oilfield. The Company produced strong Free Cash Flow within the quarter. As we've communicated over the last several quarters, our strategy, our investments, the disciplined approach, and opportunistic investments were designed to create opportunities to share value with shareholders. By the end of this year, we will have invested nearly $1 billion over the past two years in transitioning our fleet and bringing state-of-the-art technologies and completion services to ProPetro, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity. We believe our prudent strategic actions are creating meaningful, long- term value and position us to deliver for our customers and shareholders through the market cycle. Accordingly, we have now retired approximately 4% of our outstanding shares since the initial share repurchase authorization in May of 2023. With a strong balance sheet and clear line of sight to continued free cash flow generation, we are well-positioned to deliver improved shareholder value creation." Third Quarter 2023 Financial Summary Revenue was $424 million, compared to $435 million for the second quarter of 2023. The 2.6% decrease in revenue was attributable to slightly decreased utilization, pricing impacts, and job mix in our hydraulic fracturing and wireline businesses with our cementing business recording record revenues during the quarter. Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $52 million relating to cost of services, decreased to $292 million from $298 million during the second quarter of 2023. The 1.8% decrease was attributable to the decreased operational activity levels across our hydraulic fracturing and wireline operating segments. General and administrative expense of $29 million was unchanged from $29 million in the second quarter of 2023. G&A expense excluding nonrecurring and noncash items (stock-based compensation and other items) of $5 million, was $24 million, or 5.6% of revenue. Net income totaled $35 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $39 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $108 million from $113 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to slightly lower activity and pricing during the quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $118 million as compared to $114 million in the prior quarter. Free Cash Flow was approximately $27 million as compared to Free Cash Flow of approximately $6 million in the prior quarter. Share Repurchase Program In May 2023, the Company announced a $100 million share repurchase program. During the quarter, the Company repurchased and retired 1.9 million shares for $19 million. Since inception, the Company has acquired and retired 4.2 million shares representing approximately 4% of its outstanding shares as of the date of plan inception.
EXHIBIT 99.1 Liquidity and Capital Spending As of September 30, 2023, total cash was $54 million and our borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter of 2023 was $180 million including cash and $126 million of available capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Capital expenditures incurred during the third quarter of 2023 were $59 million, the majority of which related to maintenance capital expenditures and the last deliveries of the Company's Tier IV DGB dual-fuel conversions. Net cash used in investing activities during the third quarter of 2023 was $91 million. Guidance The Company expects full-year 2023 incurred capital expenditures to be slightly above $300 million as compared to $365 million of incurred capital expenditures in 2022. Frac fleet effective utilization is expected to be between 13 to 14 fleets during the fourth quarter. Outlook Mr. Sledge added, “Looking ahead, we are on track to deploy our second FORCESM electric frac fleet in 2023, with deployment of our third and fourth fleets planned for the first half of 2024. We believe that electric equipment will play a significant role in the future of ProPetro and are pleased to see strong demand for our FORCESM electric frac fleets. Additionally, with our strong balance sheet, we continue to make excellent progress on our strategic initiatives, and we will continue to seek value-accretive acquisition opportunities to further enhance our cash flow profile. We will do all of this in a disciplined and opportunistic manner, prioritizing only high-return prospects that will enhance free cash flow and create incremental shareholder value.” Mr. Sledge concluded, “As we approach the end of 2023, we continue to deliver for our customers and advance our strategy to enhance value for our company and shareholders. Despite the recent market slowdown, demand for our next generation offerings has not waned. Our strategy is designed to generate durable returns in the current market environment and through the cycle. As our dedicated blue-chip customers seek reliable completion services at competitive costs, ProPetro is uniquely positioned to provide quality service, a young, next generation equipment offering and operational density in the Permian. This differentiation continues to insulate ProPetro from some of the market inconsistency seen in other basins and in the spot market. As we continue to optimize our operations and industrialize our business, modernize our fleet, and seek opportunistic transactions in line with our commitment to disciplined capital deployment, we are confident in ProPetro’s ability to generate enhanced shareholder returns for years to come.” Conference Call Information The Company will host a conference call at 8:00 AM Central Time on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, to discuss financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2023.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense (benefit). 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) 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 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 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.
