All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical fact, and given our expectations or forecasts of future events as of the effective date of this Form 10-Q. Words such as "may," "could," "plan," "project," "budget," "predict," "target," "seek," "objective," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "will," "should," "continue" and similar expressions are generally used to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to statements about our business strategy, industry, future profitability, future capital expenditures, fleet conversion strategy, new power generation business and share repurchase program. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:
•changes in general economic and geopolitical conditions, including as a result of regulatory changes by the current presidential administration, higher interest rates, the rate of inflation, a potential economic recession and potential changes in United States trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences;

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
Hydraulic fracturing is an oil well completion technique, which is part of the overall well completion process. It is a well-stimulation technique intended to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of shale wellbores. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into shale formations. Our hydraulic fracturing contracts with our customers have one performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed accurately depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time.
Acidizing, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involves a well-stimulation technique where acid or similar chemicals are injected under pressure into formations to form or expand fissures. Our acidizing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service or sale of the acid or chemical when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize acidizing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation.
Wet sand solutions, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involve providing onsite storage and handling of wet sand used in the completion phase of shale wellbores. We recognize revenue from the sale of wet sand, location services and transportation services over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price, fixed units per stage and actual stages completed.
Our cementing services use pressure pumping equipment to deliver a slurry of liquid cement that is pumped down a well between the casing and the borehole. Our cementing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize cementing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation.
Wireline services (including pumpdown) are oil well completion techniques, which are part of the well completion process. Our wireline services utilize equipment with a drum of wireline to deploy perforating guns in the well to perforate the casing, cement, and formation. Once the well is perforated, the well can be fractured. Pumpdown utilizes pressure pumping equipment to pump water into the well to deploy perforating guns attached to wireline through the lateral section of a well. Our wireline contracts with our customers have one performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed accurately depicts how our wireline services are transferred to our customers over time. In addition, certain of our wireline equipment is entitled to daily equipment charges while the equipment is on the customer’s locations. The Company recognizes revenue related to daily equipment charges on a daily basis as the performance obligations are met.
The transaction price for each performance obligation for all our completion services is fixed per our contracts with our customers.

The Company assesses customers’ ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including historical payment experience and financial condition. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days.
Accounts Receivable
Allowance for Credit Losses
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is based on the evaluation of both our historic collection experience and the economic outlook for the oil and gas industry. We evaluated the historic loss experience on our accounts receivable and also separately considered customers with receivable balances that may be negatively impacted by current or future economic developments and market conditions. While the Company has not experienced significant credit losses in the past and has not yet seen material adverse changes to the payment patterns of its customers, the Company cannot predict with any certainty the degree to which the impacts of depressed economic activities, including the potential impact of periodically adjusted borrowing base limits, level of hedged production, or unforeseen well shut-downs may affect the ability of its customers to timely pay receivables when due. Accordingly, in future periods, the Company may revise its estimates of expected credit losses.

Income Taxes
Total income tax expense was $1.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.4 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to income tax expense of $9.8 million or an effective tax rate of 32.9 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily attributable to the difference in the impact of nondeductible expenses, state taxes and valuation allowances on the pre-tax loss for 2025, as compared to 2024.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or "ASC"). The amendments in the ASU represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. ASU 2023-06 will become effective for each amendment on the effective date of the SEC's corresponding disclosure rule changes. We do not expect ASU No. 2023-06 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, 1) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”) and 2) an amount for other segment items representing the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU also requires public entities to provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit or loss but at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles under GAAP. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and requires a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU 2023-07 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as required under this standard. See Note 7. Reportable Segment Information.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregation of certain components included in the Company’s effective tax rate and income taxes paid disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2023-09 on our condensed consolidated financial statements but do not expect it will have a material impact.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income: Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires public business entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date, which revised the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 for interim periods. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - AquaProp Acquisition
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in Aqua Prop, LLC (“AquaProp”). AquaProp is an energy service company based in Midland, Texas that provides wet sand solutions for hydraulic fracturing sand requirements at oil well sites. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its operations into the wet sand service business unit.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to AquaProp at the acquisition date:

Fair value of purchase consideration: | |||||
Cash | $ | ||||
Deferred cash consideration | |||||
Contingent consideration | |||||
Total consideration | $ |
Cash consideration includes $13.7 million paid to the seller, $7.2 million paid to settle the seller’s outstanding debt, and $0.3 million paid for the seller’s transaction expenses.
Included in the deferred cash consideration is a liability incurred to the seller of $1.8 million. In the purchase agreement as a post-closing transaction, AquaProp's seller agreed to purchase and then sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from the seller, two additional equipment spreads within 90 days of the closing at a purchase price equal to cost plus a 50 % premium. The post-closing transaction was determined to be a transaction separate from the business combination, but the premium was determined to represent consideration transferred in the business combination as the above market terms of the arrangement would not have been agreed upon absent the business combination. Accordingly, the liability incurred to the seller was recognized as consideration in the business combination as cash was not paid at closing. The post-closing transaction for the Company’s purchase of the additional equipment occurred in July 2024 and the purchases were accounted for as additions to property and equipment in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and capital expenditures in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Also in the purchase agreement as an additional post-closing transaction, the seller agreed to purchase and then deliver to the Company up to five more additional equipment spreads at the request of the Company within a 30-month period following the delivery of the first additional spread at a purchase price equal to the lower of $4.8 million or cost. The additional post-closing transaction was determined to be a transaction separate from the business combination, and no portion of the transaction was determined to represent consideration transferred in the business combination as the terms were at market. The additional post-closing transaction for the Company’s purchase of the additional equipment will be accounted for as additions to property and equipment in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and capital expenditures in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
The acquisition of AquaProp also included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the seller based on the amount of wet sand delivered during a 30-month period following the delivery of the first additional spread, attributable to the five additional equipment spreads described above. Amounts are payable under the earnout arrangement if the Company reaches certain delivery thresholds (in tons) of wet sand using the specific equipment provided by the seller or by other parties. As of March 31, 2025, the delivery of the first additional spread has not yet occurred. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be obligated to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between $0 and $12.5 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration for the business combination recognized at the acquisition date of $10.9 million was estimated by applying the probability-weighted expected return method for the different scenarios that may occur based on the amount of additional equipment delivered by the seller, at the request of the Company, and the amount of wet sand expected to be delivered by such equipment. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 measurements. The contingent consideration payable will be adjusted to estimated fair value at the end of each subsequent reporting period until the contingencies are resolved and consideration payments are made. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was $8.0 million at March 31, 2025, resulting in a $0.3 million decrease from December 31, 2024. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was primarily driven by updated projections regarding the probability of different scenarios and the amount and timing of additional equipment to be delivered by the seller under those scenarios. The decrease in the estimated contingent consideration payable is included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used, when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities, and long-term debt are estimated to be approximately equivalent to carrying amounts as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and have been excluded from the table below.

Business acquisition contingent consideration payable | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ |
Short-term investment— On September 1, 2022, the Company received 2.6 million common shares of STEP Energy Services Ltd. ("STEP") with an estimated fair value of $11.8 million as part of the consideration for the sale of our coiled tubing assets to STEP. The shares were treated as an investment in equity securities measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on observable prices on the Toronto Stock Exchange and are shown under current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the short-term investment was estimated at $8.0 million. The fluctuation in stock price resulted in an unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The fluctuation in stock price resulted in an unrealized loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Included in the unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was a loss of $0.2 million resulting from non-cash foreign currency translation during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The unrealized gain and loss resulting from stock price fluctuation and the unrealized loss resulting from non-cash foreign currency translation are included in other income (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company is restricted from selling, transferring or assigning more than 0.9 million shares in any one calendar month.
Business acquisition contingent consideration payable— On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in AquaProp in exchange for $13.7 million of cash, $3.7 million of deferred cash consideration payable to AquaProp's seller by May 31, 2025, the payoff of $7.2 million of assumed debt, the payment of $0.3 million of certain transaction costs and estimated contingent consideration of $10.9 million. The contingent consideration payable was measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs based on the probability-weighted expected return method and is shown under other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the contingent consideration payable is remeasured at the end of each reporting period using the probability-weighted expected return method. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was $8.0 million resulting in a $0.3 million decrease from December 31, 2024. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was primarily driven by updated projections regarding the probability of different scenarios and the amount and timing of additional equipment to be delivered by the seller under those scenarios. Increases or decreases in any valuation inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement in the future.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but may be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. These assets and liabilities include those recognized in the AquaProp Acquisition, which are required to be measured at fair value on the acquisition date according to the FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.
Whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the carrying values of long‑lived assets, such as property and equipment and other assets to determine if they are recoverable. If any long‑lived assets are determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment expense is recorded in the period. No impairment of property and equipment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
There were no additions to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The hydraulic fracturing operating segment (which is also considered a reporting unit) is the only segment with goodwill at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There were no goodwill impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, as of December 31, 2024 and determined that the goodwill in our wireline operating segment and reporting unit with a carrying value of $23.6 million was fully impaired.
There were no assets or liabilities subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.
Note 5 - Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trademark/trade names, and favorable contracts. Trademark/trade names are amortized on a straight‑line basis over useful lives of fifteen years . and Customer relationships are amortized on a straight‑line basis over useful lives of ten years . Favorable contracts are amortized on a straight‑line basis over useful lives of thirty months and five years . Internally developed software will be amortized on a straight‑line basis over a useful life of twenty-nine months . and Amortization expense included in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.4 million. Amortization expense included in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.4 million. The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consisted of the following:

Note 6 - Long-Term Debt
Asset-Based Loan Credit Facility
Our revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2022, prior to giving effect to the amendment to the revolving credit facility in June 2023, had a total borrowing capacity of $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility had a borrowing base of 85 % to 90 %, depending on the credit ratings of our accounts receivable counterparties, of monthly eligible accounts receivable less customary reserves. The revolving credit facility included a springing fixed charge coverage ratio to apply when excess availability was less than the greater of (i) 10 % of the lesser of the facility size or the borrowing base or (ii) $10.0 million. Under the revolving credit facility we were required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens, indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities.

Note 6 - Long-Term Debt (Continued)
Effective June 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to its amended and restated revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $225.0 million (subject to the Borrowing Base (as defined below) limit), and extended the maturity date to June 2, 2028.
Effective June 26, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its amended and restated revolving credit facility (the revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2022, as amended in June 2023, as amended in June 2024 and as may be amended further, "ABL Credit Facility"). The amendment increased the amount of non-cash consideration that may be considered cash pursuant to certain permitted dispositions. The ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base of the sum of 85 % to 90 % of monthly eligible accounts receivable and 80 % of eligible unbilled accounts (up to a maximum of 25 % of the borrowing base), in each case, depending on the credit ratings of our accounts receivable counterparties, less customary reserves (the "Borrowing Base"), as redetermined monthly. The Borrowing Base as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $187.5 million. The ABL Credit Facility includes a springing fixed charge coverage ratio to apply when excess availability is less than the greater of (i) 10 % of the lesser of the facility size or the Borrowing Base or (ii) $15.0 million. Under the ABL Credit Facility we are required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens or indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to availability, and we may elect for loans to be based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the base rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75 % to 2.25 % for SOFR loans and 0.75 % to 1.25 % for base rate loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility was 6.58 %.
The loan origination costs relating to the ABL Credit Facility are classified as an asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had borrowings outstanding under our ABL Credit Facility of $45.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively. After borrowings outstanding and letters of credit of approximately $8.6 million under the ABL Credit Facility, we had approximately $134.0 million available for borrowing under our ABL Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025.
Note 7 - Reportable Segment Information
The Company currently has four operating segments for which discrete financial information is readily available: hydraulic fracturing (inclusive of acidizing and wet sand solutions), wireline, cementing and power generation services which had not begun any revenue-generating activities through March 31, 2025. These operating segments represent how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. Our CODM is a group comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer.
Our Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline and Cementing operating segments meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, our cementing segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and was shown in the "All Other" category. Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2024, cementing is shown as a reportable segment since it meets the criteria of a reportable segment per ASC 280—Segment Reporting. Our power generation services segment does not meet the reportable segment criteria and is included within the “All Other” category. Additionally, our corporate administrative activities do not involve business activities from which it may earn revenues and its results are not regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM when making key operating and resource decisions. As a result, corporate administrative expenses and intersegment revenue have been included under "Reconciling Items." Prior period segment information has been revised to conform to our current presentation.
The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segment by its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, other income or expense, gain or loss on disposal of assets and other unusual or nonrecurring expenses or income such as impairment charges, retention bonuses, severance, costs related to asset acquisitions, insurance recoveries, one-time professional fees and legal settlements).

Note 8 - Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income relevant to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share uses the same net income divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus dilutive effects of options, performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury method and the potential dilutive effects of preferred stocks (if any) calculated using the if-converted method.

Note 9 - Share Repurchase Program
On April 24, 2024, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") approved an increase and extension to the share repurchase program previously authorized on May 17, 2023. The program permits the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of the Company's common stock for a total of $200 million and extends the expiration date by one year to May 31, 2025. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management's assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated through May 2025. The 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations applies to our share repurchase program.
All shares of common stock repurchased under the share repurchase program are canceled and retired upon repurchase. The Company accounts for the purchase price of repurchased shares of common stock in excess of par value ($0.001 per share of common stock) as a reduction of additional-paid-in capital, and will continue to do so until additional paid-in-capital is reduced to zero. Thereafter, any excess purchase price will be recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made no share repurchases under the share repurchase program. The Company has

Note 10 - Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Options
There were no new stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there was no aggregate intrinsic value for our outstanding or exercisable stock options because the closing stock price as of March 31, 2025 was below the cost to exercise these options. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The weighted average remaining contractual term for the outstanding and exercisable stock options as of March 31, 2025 was approximately 2.0 years.
A summary of the stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below (in thousands, except for weighted average price):

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we granted 1,314,846 RSUs to employees, officers and directors pursuant to the A&R 2020 Incentive Plan, which generally vest ratably over a three-year vesting period in the case of awards to employees and officers, and generally vest in full after one year , in the case of awards to directors. RSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee or director of the Company prior to vesting of the award. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing share price of our common stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense for all RSUs was approximately $21.7 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.

The actual number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the PSUs ranges from 0 % up to a maximum of 200 % of the target number of PSUs granted to the participant, based on our total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a designated peer group, generally at the end of a three year period. In addition to the TSR conditions, vesting of the PSUs is generally subject to the recipient’s continued employment through the end of the applicable performance period. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the corresponding requisite service period. The grant date fair value of PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Grant recipients do not have any shareholder rights until performance relative to the peer group has been determined following the completion of the performance period and shares have been issued.
The following table summarizes information about PSUs activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (in thousands, except for weighted average fair value):

ExxonMobil and Pioneer
On December 31, 2018, we consummated the purchase of certain pressure pumping assets and real property from Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer") and Pioneer Pumping Services (the "Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition"). In connection with the Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition, Pioneer received 16.6 million shares of our common stock and approximately $110.0 million in cash. In May 2024, Pioneer merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation ("ExxonMobil") after which ExxonMobil became the owner of these shares. The Company currently provides pressure pumping, wireline and other services to ExxonMobil and previously provided such services to Pioneer.
On April 22, 2024, we entered into a sub-agreement for Hydraulic Fracturing Services with XTO Energy Inc. ("XTO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil, where we will provide hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumpdown services with two committed FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets with the option to add a third FORCE® fleet (also with wireline and pumpdown services) for a period of three years or for contracted hours, whichever occurs last with respect to each fleet, subject to certain termination and release rights.
Revenue from services provided to ExxonMobil (including Pioneer and XTO) subsequent to Pioneer's merger with ExxonMobil accounted for $73.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Revenue from services provided to Pioneer prior to its merger with ExxonMobil accounted for approximately $4.9 million of our total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, the total accounts receivable due from ExxonMobil (including Pioneer and XTO), including estimated unbilled receivables for services we provided, amounted to approximately $49.4 million and the amount due to ExxonMobil (including Pioneer and XTO) was $0 . As of December 31, 2024, the total accounts receivable due from ExxonMobil (including Pioneer and XTO), including estimated unbilled receivables for services we provided, amounted to $70.8 million and the amount due to ExxonMobil (including Pioneer and XTO) was $0 .
Big 4 and Former Employee
On November 1, 2024, we sold our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to Big 4 Services LLC ("Big 4") which is solely owned by a former employee as part of a strategic repositioning. We received a promissory note for $13.0 million as consideration. The note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of Big 4 and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from Big 4. The note receivable is to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10 % per annum from March 31, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The note receivable is considered subordinated financial support to Big 4 and represents a variable interest to the Company in Big 4. See Note 14. Variable Interest Entity for the carrying value of the note receivable as of March 31, 2025. We recorded interest income of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 which is included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations under other income (expense). Cash inflows from collections on the note receivable are included in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows under cash flows from investing activities. The former employee was part of our cementing operations until November 1, 2024, and is no longer affiliated with the Company.
Note 12 - Leases
Operating Leases
Description of Leases
We have operating leases for five FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing equipment fleets (the “Electric Fleet Leases”), facilities and office space. The terms and conditions of these leases vary by the type of the underlying asset. We did not account for land separately from buildings under our leases of facilities because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. Our operating leases do not include residual value guarantees, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, our operating leases do not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. We assumed two leases for facilities as part of our acquisition of Silvertip Completion Services Operating, LLC on November 1, 2022. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 0.5 years to 3.7 years as of March 31, 2025. Our operating leases have renewal options ranging from none to three renewal options of up to one year each at the end of their current contractual lease periods. Further, our Electric Fleet Leases have options to purchase the underlying equipment at the end of their initial term of approximately three years or at the end of each renewal period. However, in management's judgment the exercise of neither the renewal options nor the purchase options are reasonably assured for any lease. In addition to fixed rent payments, the Electric Fleet Leases contain variable payments based on equipment usage. The right-of-use assets and liabilities related to

Finance Leases
Description of Lease
We have a three- year equipment lease contract (the "Power Equipment Lease") for certain power generation equipment. In addition to the contractual lease period, the contract includes an optional renewal for one year , and in management's judgment the exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Power Equipment Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. The right-of-use assets and liabilities under this contract are included in our Hydraulic Fracturing reportable segment.
We accounted for the Power Equipment Lease as a finance lease. This conclusion resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term, the present value of lease payments being equal to or in excess of substantially all of the fair value of the underlying assets and the lease term being the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying assets.

Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We entered into certain commitments for fixed assets, consumables and services incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business, generally for quantities required for our operations and at competitive market prices. These commitments are designed to assure sources of supply and are not expected to be in excess of normal requirements. We entered into a contractual arrangement with an equipment manufacturer to purchase mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment, including turbine generator sets along with auxiliary equipment, for our PROPWR business line, with a total remaining commitment (after our initial down payment) of $103.7 million, which will be financed. We currently expect to receive this equipment beginning at the end of the second quarter of 2025 through early 2026. We entered into contractual arrangements with other equipment manufacturers to purchase additional natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line, with a total cost of $102.0 million. We currently expect to receive this equipment beginning in the second quarter of 2025 through the second quarter of 2026. The power generation equipment from these contractual arrangements represent total capacity of approximately 220 megawatts.
We entered into the Electric Fleet Leases, which contain options to extend the leases or purchase the equipment at the end of each lease or at the end of each subsequent renewal period. As of March 31, 2025, all five of the Electric Fleet Leases commenced when the Company took possession of all equipment associated with its first four FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets and some of the equipment associated with its fifth fleet under these leases. Lease payments pertaining to the remaining equipment associated with the fifth Electric Fleet Lease are expected to commence when the Company takes possession of the remaining associated equipment. We currently expect to receive majority of the remaining equipment associated with the fifth fleet in the first half of 2025. The total estimated contractual commitment in connection with the Electric Fleet Leases excluding the cost associated with the option to purchase the equipment at the end of each lease is approximately $112.8 million. We also entered into the Power Equipment Lease. The total estimated contractual commitment in connection with the Power Equipment Lease is approximately $29.1 million.
The Company enters into purchase agreements with its sand suppliers (the "Sand Suppliers") to secure supply of sand as part of its normal course of business. The agreements with the Sand Suppliers require that the Company purchase a minimum volume of sand, based primarily on a certain percentage of our sand requirements from our customers or in certain situations based on predetermined fixed minimum volumes, otherwise certain penalties (shortfall fees) may be charged. The shortfall fee represents liquidated damages and is either a fixed percentage of the purchase price for the minimum volumes or a fixed price per ton of unpurchased volumes. Our agreements with the Sand Suppliers expire on December 31, 2025. Our sand agreement with one of our Sand Suppliers has a remaining take-or-pay commitment of $0.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no shortfall fee was recorded.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had issued letters of credit of approximately $8.6 million under the ABL Credit Facility in connection with the Company’s casualty insurance policy. Such letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow under the ABL Credit Facility.

Contingent Liabilities
Legal Matters
We have been named in various claims, lawsuits or threatened actions in the ordinary course of our business. We intend to defend these matters vigorously; however, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the ultimate outcome or effect of any claim, lawsuit or action cannot be predicted with certainty. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any litigation matter. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could cause us to incur significant costs and expenses and require significant amounts of management and operational time and resources. With respect to each matter or exposure, we have made an assessment, in accordance with GAAP, of the probability that the resolution of the matter would ultimately result in a loss. When we determine that an unfavorable resolution of a matter is probable and such amount of loss can be estimated, we record a liability at the time that both of these criteria are met. Our management believes that we have recorded adequate accruals for any liabilities that may reasonably be expected to result from these matters. In the opinion of our management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against us are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental and Equipment Insurance
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. The Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of the Company's business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
The Company is self-insured up to $10 million per occurrence for certain losses arising from or attributable to fire and/or explosion at the wellsites that do not have qualified fire suppression measures. No accrual was recorded in our financial statements in connection with this self-insurance strategy because the occurrence of fire and/or explosion cannot be reasonably estimated.
Regulatory Audits
In 2020, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (the "Comptroller") commenced a routine audit of the Company's motor vehicle and other related fuel taxes for the periods of July 2015 through December 2020. As of March 31, 2025, the audit was substantially complete and the Company accrued for an estimated settlement expense of $6.0 million.
In May 2022, the Company received a notification from the Comptroller that it will commence a routine audit of the Company's gross receipt taxes, which will routinely cover covers up to a four-year period. As of March 31, 2025, the audit was nearing completion and the Company accrued for an estimated settlement expense of $0.8 million.

Note 14 - Variable Interest Entity
A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity with any of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional financial support, (ii) the equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. Consolidation of a VIE is required for the party deemed to be the primary beneficiary, if any. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
On November 1, 2024, we sold our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to Big 4, which is solely owned by a former employee, as part of a strategic repositioning. We received a promissory note for $13.0 million as consideration. The note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of Big 4 and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from the entity. The note receivable is to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10 % per annum from March 31, 2025 to December 31, 2029. We evaluated our note receivable from Big 4 for VIEs in accordance with ASC 810—Consolidation. The Company holds a variable interest in Big 4 and Big 4 is a VIE due to its lack of sufficient equity to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The note receivable from Big 4 is considered subordinated financial support and represents a variable interest to the Company in Big 4. Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s variable interest in Big 4 included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets are limited to the unpaid balance of the note receivable and any accrued interest. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Big 4 is also limited to the unpaid balance of the note receivable and any accrued interest. The consolidation of Big 4 is not required as the Company is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Big 4’s economic performance. We consider such activities to include performing customer contract obligations, maintaining and establishing customer relationships, and managing costs, among other operational activities. We do not have any control over such activities. Such power is held by Big 4’s sole owner. We account for the note receivable (our variable interest) at amortized cost. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the note receivable including interest was $12.7 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Of the carrying value of the note receivable at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount collectible in one year was $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets under other current assets. The amount collectible beyond one year as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $10.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively, and is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets under other non current assets.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The financial information, discussion and analysis that follow should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Form 10-K as well as the financial and other information included therein.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to the "Company," "we," "our," "us" or like terms refer to ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a leading integrated energy service company, located in Midland, Texas, focused on providing innovative hydraulic fracturing, wireline and other complementary energy and power generation services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production (“E&P”) of North American oil and natural gas resources. Our operations are primarily focused in the Permian Basin, where we have cultivated longstanding customer relationships with some of the region’s most active and well‑capitalized E&P companies. The Permian Basin is widely regarded as one of the most prolific oil‑producing areas in the United States, and we believe we are one of the leading providers of completion services in the region.
Our operating segments comprise hydraulic fracturing, wireline, cementing and power generation services. Our completion services include hydraulic fracturing, wireline and cementing operations. Our hydraulic fracturing operations account for approximately 74.9% of our total revenues and operations as of March 31, 2025. Our total available hydraulic horsepower ("HHP") as of March 31, 2025, was 1,312,000 HHP, which was comprised of 445,000 HHP of our Tier IV DGB dual-fuel equipment, 312,000 HHP of FORCE® electric-powered equipment and 555,000 HHP of conventional Tier II equipment. Our hydraulic fracturing fleets range from approximately 50,000 to 80,000 HHP depending on the job design and customer demand at the wellsite. Our equipment has been designed to handle the operating conditions commonly encountered in the Permian Basin and the region’s increasingly high-intensity well completions (including simultaneous hydraulic fracturing ("Simul-Frac"), which involves fracturing multiple wellbores at the same time), which are characterized by longer horizontal wellbores, more stages per lateral and increasing amounts of proppant per well. With the industry transition to lower emissions equipment and Simul-Frac, in addition to several other changes to our customers' job designs, we believe that our available fleet capacity could decline if we decide to reconfigure our fleets to increase active HHP and backup HHP at wellsites. In 2021, we began to transition our fleet from traditional equipment to Tier IV DGB dual-fuel equipment. In 2022, we entered into three-year electric fleet leases for four FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets with 60,000 HHP per fleet (the "Electric Fleet Leases") and in 2024, we entered into an additional three-year lease for a fifth FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet with 72,000 HHP. As of March 31, 2025, we have received 312,000 HHP of FORCE® electric-powered equipment representing four fleets and a portion of the fifth fleet. We currently expect to receive the remaining equipment associated with the fifth fleet in the first half of 2025. We currently have 26 wireline units and 30 cementing units.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we formed a new subsidiary, ProPetro Energy Solutions, LLC, ("PROPWR") to provide power generation services to oil and gas producers and non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers. This subsidiary has ordered equipment, but it has not yet begun revenue-generating activities. In April 2025, we entered into a financing arrangement to purchase additional mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment. See Note 15. Subsequent Events.
On November 1, 2024, we sold our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to a business owned by a former employee as part of a strategic repositioning. We received a promissory note for $13.0 million as consideration. The note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of the former employee’s business and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from the business. The note receivable is to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10% per annum from March 31, 2025, to December 31, 2029. We recorded a gain on disposal of $8.2 million related to the sale of the business. The former employee was part of our cementing operations until November 1, 2024, and is no longer affiliated with the Company.
On May 31, 2024, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in Aqua Prop, LLC ("AquaProp"), which provides wet sand solutions for hydraulic fracturing sand requirements at oil well sites (the "AquaProp Acquisition"). The consideration for the AquaProp Acquisition includes $13.7 million of cash paid to the seller, $3.7 million of deferred cash consideration payable to the seller by May 31, 2025, the payoff of $7.2 million of the seller's outstanding debt, the payment of $0.3 million of certain transaction costs and estimated contingent consideration of $10.9 million. As a result of the AquaProp Acquisition, we expanded our business to include wet sand services.
Our competitors include many large and small energy service companies, including Halliburton Company, Liberty Energy Inc., Patterson-UTI Energy Inc., ProFrac Holding Corp., Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc., RPC, Inc., and a number of private and locally-oriented businesses. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. To be successful, an energy services
-27-
company must provide services that meet the specific needs of oil and natural gas E&P companies at competitive prices. Competitive factors impacting sales of our services are price, reputation, technical expertise, emissions profile, service and equipment design and quality, and health and safety standards. Although we believe our customers consider all of these factors, we believe price is a key factor in an E&P company's criteria in choosing a service provider. However, we have recently observed the energy industry and our customers shift to lower emissions equipment, which we believe will be an increasingly important factor in an E&P company's selection of a service provider. The transition to lower emissions equipment has been challenging for companies in the service industry because of the capital requirements, lack of large scale deployment of certain new technology such as electric-powered equipment, and the pricing for our services and expected return on invested capital. While we seek to price our services competitively, we believe many of our customers elect to work with us based on our operational efficiencies, productivity, equipment portfolio and quality, reliability, ability to manage multifaceted logistics challenges, commitment to safety and the ability of our people to handle the most complex Permian Basin well completions and power generation challenges.
We believe that our substantial market presence in the Permian Basin positions us well to capitalize on drilling and completion activity and power demand in the region. Our operational focus has been in the Permian Basin's Midland sub-basin, where our customers have operated. However, we have increased our operations in the Delaware sub-basin and are well-positioned to support further increases to our activity in this area in response to demand from our customers. Over time, we expect the Permian Basin's Midland and Delaware sub-basins to continue to command a disproportionate share of future North American E&P spending.
Additionally, we believe the significant natural gas production in the Permian Basin will become a natural market for power-intensive businesses including data centers and other industrial businesses seeking alternative solutions for reliable and available electricity requirements which are not dependent on grid or public utility limitations.
Our Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline and Cementing operating segments meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, our cementing segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and was shown in the "All Other" category. Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2024, cementing is shown as a reportable segment since it meets the criteria of a reportable segment. Our power generation services segment does not meet the reportable segment criteria and is included within the “All Other” category. Additionally, our corporate administrative activities do not involve business activities from which we may earn revenues and its results are not regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM when making key operating and resource decisions. As a result, corporate administrative expenses and intersegment revenue have been included under "Reconciling Items." Prior period segment information has been revised to conform to our current presentation. For additional financial information on our reportable segments presentation, see "Note 7 - Reportable Segment Information."
Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition
On December 31, 2018, we consummated the purchase of certain pressure pumping assets and real property from Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer") and Pioneer Pumping Services (the "Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition") in exchange for 16.6 million shares of our common stock and $110.0 million in cash. In May 2024, Pioneer merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation ("ExxonMobil") after which ExxonMobil became the owner of these shares. The Company currently provides pressure pumping, wireline and other services to ExxonMobil and previously provided such services to Pioneer.
On April 22, 2024, we entered into a sub-agreement for Hydraulic Fracturing Services with XTO Energy Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil, where we will provide hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumpdown services with two committed FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets with the option to add a third FORCE® fleet (also with wireline and pumpdown services) for a period of three years or for contracted hours, whichever occurs last with respect to each fleet, subject to certain termination and release rights.
Commodity Price and Other Economic Conditions
The oil and gas industry has traditionally been volatile and is characterized by a combination of long-term, short-term and cyclical trends, including domestic and international supply and demand for oil and gas, current and expected future prices for oil and gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, and capital investments of E&P companies toward their development and production of oil and gas reserves. The oil and gas industry is also impacted by general domestic and international economic conditions such as supply chain disruptions and inflation, war and political instability in oil producing countries, government regulations (both in the United States and internationally), levels of consumer demand, adverse weather conditions, and other factors that are beyond our control.
The geopolitical and macroeconomic consequences of military action in the Middle East, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including the associated sanctions, and actions by OPEC+ have contributed to volatility in supply and demand dynamics for
-28-
crude oil and associated volatility in crude oil pricing in recent years. More recently, the West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") average crude oil price declined to approximately $76 per barrel in 2024 and approximately $68 per barrel in March 2025 before further declining in April 2025 in response to tariff policies implemented by the U.S. government, an anticipated increase in global supply of crude oil and concerns of a potential global recession resulting from high inflation, interest rates, impacts of tariff policies on supply chains and increased costs as whole. Additionally, we have recently experienced a decrease in the rig count to 304 at the end of 2024 and a further decrease to 297 at the end of March 2025, which resulted in a reduction in the demand for completion services and pressure on pricing of our services.
Sustained levels of high inflation have likewise caused the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates, and to the extent elevated inflation remains, we may experience further cost increases for our operations, including interest rates, labor costs and equipment. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation and crude oil prices. A significant increase in or continued high levels of inflation, to the extent we are unable to timely pass-through the cost increases to our customers, further declines in crude oil prices, or changes in U.S trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Government regulations and investors are demanding the oil and gas industry transition to a lower emissions operating environment, including upstream and energy service companies. As a result, we are working with our customers and equipment manufacturers to transition our equipment to a lower emissions profile. Currently, a number of lower emission solutions for pumping equipment, including Tier IV DGB dual-fuel, FORCE® electric, direct drive gas turbine and other technologies have been developed, and we expect additional lower emission solutions will be developed in the future. We are continually evaluating these technologies and other investment and acquisition opportunities that would support our existing and new customer relationships. The transition to lower emissions equipment is quickly evolving and will be capital intensive. Over time, we plan to replace our conventional Tier II diesel-only equipment with lower emissions equipment. We have transitioned our hydraulic fracturing equipment portfolio from approximately 60% lower emissions equipment in 2023, 70% in 2024, and expect to increase to approximately 75% by the end of the end of 2025. To the extent any of our customers have certain expectations or requirements with respect to emissions reductions from their contractors, if we are unable to continue to quickly transition to lower emissions equipment, the demand for our services could be adversely impacted.
If the Permian Basin rig count and market conditions improve, including improved pricing for our services and labor availability, and we are able to meet our customers' lower emissions equipment demands, we believe our operational and financial results will also improve. If the rig count or market conditions do not improve or decline in the future, and we are unable to increase our pricing or pass-through future cost increases to our customers, there could be a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our results of operations have historically reflected seasonal tendencies, typically in the fourth quarter, relating to the holiday season, inclement winter weather and exhaustion of our customers' annual budgets. As a result, we typically experience declines in our operating and financial results in November and December, even in a stable commodity price and operations environment.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin to evaluate and analyze the performance of our various operating segments.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We view Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as our earnings, before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus (i) loss/(gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) other expense/(income), (iv) 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 (v) retention bonuses and severance. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental measures utilized by our management and other users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, and research analysts, to assess our financial performance because it allows us and other users to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), nonrecurring (income)/expenses and items outside the control of our management team (such as income taxes). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income/(loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
-29-
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"), except when specifically required to be disclosed by GAAP in the financial statements. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure, asset base, nonrecurring expenses (income) and items outside the control of the Company. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has 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 Adjusted EBITDA margin in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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.

Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2025, we conducted our business through four operating segments: hydraulic fracturing, wireline, cementing, and power generation services (started in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and has not begun any revenue-generating activities yet). Our power generation services operating segment is shown in the “All Other” category for segment reporting purposes.
On May 31, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in AquaProp in exchange for $13.7 million of cash, $3.7 million of deferred cash consideration payable to AquaProp's seller by May 31, 2025, the payoff of $7.2 million of assumed debt, the payment of $0.3 million of certain transaction costs, and estimated contingent consideration of $10.9 million. As a result of the acquisition, we expanded our operations into the wet sand service business unit. The Company's 2025 results include the impact of AquaProp's operations which was not included in our 2024 results herein because we acquired AquaProp in May 2024. Accordingly, the full impact of the results of AquaProp may affect the comparability of our 2025 results when compared to prior period. AquaProp's operations, which are included for the entire period, resulted in $21.4 million in revenues and $20.4 million in cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are included in the Hydraulic Fracturing reportable segment.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenues. Revenues decreased 11.4%, or $46.4 million, to $359.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $405.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenue by reportable segment was as follows:
Hydraulic Fracturing. Our hydraulic fracturing segment revenues decreased 12.9%, or $39.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased customer pricing, partially offset by increased efficiency and the addition of AquaProp's operations in May 2024, which contributed $21.4 million in revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our average active hydraulic fracturing fleet count was approximately 15 fleets for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase from approximately 14 fleets for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Intersegment revenues, consisting of revenues derived from our wireline segment, totaled $0.1 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Wireline. Our wireline segment revenues decreased 12.1% or $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased customer activity and customer pricing.
Cementing. Our cementing segment revenue increased 2.5%, or $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to synergies gained with customers after the acquisition of Par Five Energy Services LLC ("Par Five"), partially offset by the sale of our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah in November 2024.
Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 8.6%, or $24.8 million, to $263.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $288.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cost of services by reportable segment was as follows:
Hydraulic Fracturing. Cost of services in our hydraulic fracturing segment decreased $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percentage of hydraulic fracturing segment revenues, hydraulic fracturing cost of services was 72.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 70.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 driven by customer price decreases and the impact of general cost inflation. The decrease in cost of services was partially offset by the addition of AquaProp's operations in May 2024, which added $20.4 million in cost of services during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Wireline. Our wireline segment cost of services decreased $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to decrease in activity. Intersegment cost of services, consisting of cost of services incurred to our hydraulic fracturing segment, totaled $0.1 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cementing. Our cementing cost of services decreased 7.1%, or $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah in November 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 2.1%, or $0.6 million, to $27.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Excluding nonrecurring and non-cash items (i.e., stock-based compensation of $3.3 million, retention bonuses and severance expenses of $1.7 million, partially offset by business acquisition contingent consideration adjustments of $0.3 million), general and administrative expenses were $22.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $23.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased 17.0%, or $10.0 million, to $48.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $58.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to assets fully depreciating and a reduction in the cost basis of Tier II diesel-only hydraulic fracturing pumping units and associated conventional assets impaired in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by the addition of AquaProp's operations in May 2024 which included $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization.
Loss on Disposal of Assets. Loss on disposal of assets increased by $9.7 million, to $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $4 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to losses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the sale of certain Tier II hydraulic fracturing equipment.
-34-
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility (the revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2022, as amended in June 2023, as amended in June 2024, and as may be amended further, "ABL Credit Facility") during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and a reduction in our finance lease obligation as a result of a payments.
Other Income. Other income was approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to other income of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily comprised of true-up of workers' compensation and general liability insurance premiums of $1.0 million, tax refunds (net of advisory fees) totaling $0.4 million, interest income from note receivable from sale of business of $0.3 million, a $0.2 million unrealized gain on short-term investment and $1.0 million of other income. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily comprised of insurance reimbursements of $2.0 million, partially offset by a $0.6 million unrealized loss on short-term investment.
Income Taxes. Total income tax expense was $1.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to income tax expense of $9.8 million or an effective tax rate of 32.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily attributable to the difference in the impact of nondeductible expenses, state taxes and valuation allowances on the pre-tax loss for 2025, as compared to 2024.
-35-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is currently provided by (i) existing cash balances, (ii) operating cash flows and (iii) borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility (as defined below). In addition, on April 2, 2025, we entered into a financing arrangement (the "PROPWR Loan Agreement") to support the purchase of certain mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment, including turbine generator sets along with auxiliary equipment, for our PROPWR business line. See "Credit Facility and Other Financing Arrangements" below. Our cash is primarily used to fund our operations, support growth opportunities, fund share repurchases under our share repurchase program and satisfy future debt payments. Our Borrowing Base (as defined below), under our ABL Credit Facility,as redetermined monthly, is tied to the sum of 85% to 90% of monthly eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled accounts (up to a maximum of 25% of the Borrowing Base), in each case, depending on the credit ratings of our accounts receivable counterparties, less customary reserves (the "Borrowing Base"). Changes to our operational activity levels and our customers' credit ratings have an impact on our total eligible accounts receivable, which could result in significant changes to our Borrowing Base and therefore, our availability under our ABL Credit Facility.
We received advance payments from a customer for our services, and the amount outstanding in connection with the advance payments as of March 31, 2025 was $9.3 million, which does not include any restricted cash.
As of March 31, 2025, our borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility were $45.0 million and our total liquidity was approximately $197.4 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $63.4 million and $134.0 million of availability under our ABL Credit Facility.
On April 24, 2024, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") approved an increase and extension to the share repurchase program previously authorized on May 17, 2023. The program permits the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of the Company's common stock for a total of $200 million and extends the expiration date by one year to May 31, 2025. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management's assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated through May 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made no share repurchases under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2025, $89.2 million remained authorized for future repurchases of common stock under the share repurchase program.
There can be no assurance that our operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned or future levels of capital expenditures and to continue with our share repurchases under our share repurchase program or fund future business acquisitions. Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, and are highly dependent on the drilling, completion, and production activity by our customers, which in turn is highly dependent on oil and natural gas prices. Depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may issue equity and debt securities or take other actions necessary to fund our business, strategy or meet our future long-term liquidity requirements.
Capital Requirements, Future Sources and Use of Cash and Contractual Obligations
Capital expenditures incurred were $38.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $39.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 for our reportable segments. The significant portion of our total capital expenditures incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were maintenance capital expenditures and down payments on mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line.
-36-
Our future material use of cash will be to fund our capital expenditures. We may also use material amounts of cash to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program. Capital expenditures for 2025 are projected to be primarily related to capital expenditures to extend the useful life of our existing completion services assets, costs to convert some existing equipment to lower emissions equipment, purchase power generation equipment, strategic purchases and other ancillary equipment purchases, subject to market conditions and customer demand. Our future capital expenditures depend on our projected operational activity, emission requirements and planned conversions to lower emissions equipment, among other factors, which could vary significantly throughout the year. Based on our current plan and projected activity levels for 2025, we expect our capital expenditures to range between approximately $295 million to $345 million which includes approximately $125 million to $175 million for our completion services business and approximately $170 million for our PROPWR business. We entered into a contractual arrangement with an equipment manufacturer to purchase mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment, including turbine generator sets along with auxiliary equipment, for our PROPWR business line, with a total cost of $122.0 million, of which approximately $103.7 million, representing progress payments beyond the initial down payment on this equipment, will be financed. We currently expect to receive this equipment beginning at the end of the second quarter of 2025 through early 2026. We entered into contractual arrangements with other equipment manufacturers to purchase additional natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line, with a total cost of $102.0 million. We currently expect to receive this equipment beginning in the second quarter of 2025 through the second quarter of 2026. We could incur significant additional capital expenditures if our projected activity levels increase during the course of the year, inflation and supply chain tightness continue to adversely impact our operations or we invest in new or different lower emissions equipment. The Company will continue to evaluate the emissions profile of its equipment over the coming years and may, depending on market conditions, convert or retire additional conventional Tier II equipment in favor of lower emissions equipment. The Company’s decisions regarding the retirement or conversion of equipment or the addition of lower emissions equipment will be subject to a number of factors, including (among other factors) the availability of equipment, including parts and major components, supply chain disruptions, prevailing and expected commodity prices, customer demand and requirements and the Company’s evaluation of projected returns on conversion or other capital expenditures. Depending on the impacts of these factors, the Company may decide to retain conventional equipment for a longer period of time or accelerate the retirement, replacement or conversion of that equipment.
We anticipate our capital expenditures will be funded by existing cash, cash flows from operations, and if needed, borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. We expect to finance the purchase of our PROPWR mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment using the PROPWR Loan Agreement Our cash flows from operations will be generated from services we provide to our customers.
We entered into a sand purchase agreement with a supplier that will expire on December 31, 2025 with a remaining take-or-pay commitment of approximately $0.4 million. We also entered into three-year electric fleet leases for five FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets (the "Electric Fleet Leases"), which contain options to extend the leases or purchase the equipment at the end of each lease or at the end of each subsequent renewal period. As of March 31, 2025, all five of the Electric Fleet Leases commenced when the Company took possession of all equipment associated with its first four FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets and some of the equipment associated with its fifth fleet under these leases. We currently expect to receive the remaining equipment associated with the fifth fleet in the first half of 2025. The total estimated contractual commitment in connection with the Electric Fleet Leases excluding the cost associated with the option to purchase the equipment at the end of each lease is approximately $112.8 million. We also entered into a three year lease (the "Power Equipment Lease") for certain power generation equipment. The total estimated contractual commitment in connection with the Power Equipment Lease is approximately $29.1 million.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations and incur expenses in connection with routine growth, conversion and maintenance capital expenditures that impact our future liquidity. There were no other known future material contractual obligations as of March 31, 2025.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $54.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $74.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net decrease of approximately $20.1 million was primarily due to lower net income adjusted for noncash expenses and the timing of our receivable collections from our customers and payments to our vendors.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $32.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $33.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $7.0 million increase proceeds from the sale of assets, partially offset by a $6.3 million increase in capital expenditures which includes $18.3 million for mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net decrease was primarily driven by a $22.5 million decrease in share repurchases, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in tax withholdings paid for net settlement of equity awards, a $1.5 million increase in repayments of insurance financing and a $0.6 million increase in payments of finance lease obligation.
Credit Facility and Other Financing Arrangements
Our revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2022, prior to giving effect to the amendment to the revolving credit facility in June 2023, had a total borrowing capacity of $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility had a borrowing base of 85% to 90%, depending on the credit ratings of our accounts receivable counterparties, of monthly eligible accounts receivable less customary reserves. The revolving credit facility included a springing fixed charge coverage ratio to apply when excess availability was less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the facility size or the borrowing base or (ii) $10.0 million. Under the revolving credit facility we were required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens, indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities.
-38-
Effective June 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Credit Facility. The amendment increased the borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility to $225.0 million (subject to the Borrowing Base limit), and extended the maturity date to June 2, 2028.
Effective June 26, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Credit Facility. The amendment increased the amount of non-cash consideration that may be considered cash pursuant to certain permitted dispositions.
The Borrowing Base as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $187.5 million. The ABL Credit Facility includes a springing fixed charge coverage ratio to apply when excess availability is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the facility size or the Borrowing Base or (ii) $15.0 million. Under the ABL Credit Facility we are required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens, indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to availability, and we may elect for loans to be based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the base rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% for SOFR loans and 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans.
Effective April 2, 2025, PROPWR entered into a contractual arrangement with an equipment manufacturer to purchase mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line, with a total cost of $122.0 million, of which approximately $103.7 million, representing progress payments beyond the initial down payment on this equipment, will be financed. We currently expect to receive this equipment beginning at the end of the second quarter of 2025 through early 2026.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
See “Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. of our Form 10-K.
Changes in U.S. trade policy and the impact of tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, trade agreements or other trade restrictions imposed by the United States or other governments. For example, on March 12, 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on steel imports, and on April 2, 2025, the U.S. government announced a 10% tariff on product imports from almost all countries and individualized higher tariffs on certain other countries. Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. These actions are unprecedented, have caused substantial uncertainty and volatility in financial markets and may result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods.
Any imposition of or increase in tariffs on imports of steel or other materials, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, could increase our material input costs and our costs to maintain our assets. To the extent that we are unable to pass all or any such cost increases on to our customers, such cost increases could adversely affect our returns on investment.
The imposition of further tariffs by the United States on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken in response to additional tariffs, could increase costs in our supply chain or reduce demand of our customers’ products, either of which could adversely affect our results of operations. The ultimate impact of these trade measures on our business operations and financial results is uncertain and may be affected by various factors, including whether and when such trade measures are implemented, the timing when such measures may become effective, and the amount, scope, or nature of such trade measures, and our ability to execute strategies to mitigate the negative impacts.
