Company Announcements

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 28, 2025-- Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), today announced significant continued momentum within its business, along with first quarter 2025 financial and operational results.

First Quarter 2025 Summary Results

• Revenue – Revenue of $126 million increased 31% sequentially from the fourth quarter 2024 due to activity growth within Solaris Power Solutions and Solaris Logistics Solutions.
• Profitability
  • Net income of $13 million and $0.14 per diluted Class A share; Adjusted pro forma net income⁽¹⁾ of $14 million and $0.20 per fully diluted share
  • Total Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $47 million increased over 25% sequentially from the fourth quarter 2024

Joint Venture Highlights

• Finalized Joint Venture; Upsized and Extended Commercial Contract – Solaris and a major data center client entered into a joint venture, Stateline Power, LLC (the “JV”). The power service commercial contract supporting the JV has been upsized to a total of approximately 900 megawatts (“MW”) of power generation capacity, compared to the previously announced 500 MW. The initial commercial contract tenor has been extended to seven years from six previously.
• Financing – The JV has executed a term sheet and is finalizing definitive documentation for up to $550 million in the form of a senior secured term loan facility which is expected to support a majority of the capital needs of the JV. The Company’s first quarter expenditures included its cash equity investment in the JV and the partner will contribute its pro rata share of cash equity in the second quarter of 2025.
• Ownership Structure – No change to previously announced structure of 50.1% Solaris-owned and 49.9% customer-owned.

Business and Financing Update

• Continued Fleet Expansion – Following the upsizing of the commercial contract to support the JV, Solaris’ power generation fleet had limited open capacity. During the first quarter, Solaris secured approximately 330 MW of new generation capacity with expected deliveries beginning in the second half of 2026. Solaris is in active discussions with multiple customers to deploy this open capacity. Additionally, Solaris expects any potential tariff-related impact on the new equipment order to be 5% or less of the original purchase price.
• Pro Forma Operated Fleet of 1,700 MW – Solaris’ total operated capacity is expected to be approximately 1,700 MW (approximately 1,250 MW owned, net of the JV) by the first half of 2027.
• Guidance Update – Maintaining Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $50-55 million for second quarter 2025 and establishing third quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $55-60 million.

CEO Commentary

“I am excited about the momentum we are seeing across the power sector and believe that our offerings will play a significant and value-added role to this broad-based demand growth. Our contracted fleet expansion provides visibility to continue growing the Company’s earnings, which will help us drive total shareholder value while maintaining a balanced and attractive financial profile,” commented Bill Zartler, Solaris’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“We are also excited to solidify our partnership with an industry leader and fast mover in the artificial intelligence computing space to provide power for their newest data center campus. The power that will be provided by our joint venture was increased by approximately 80% to 900 MW for an extended tenor of seven years. We believe this joint venture demonstrates Solaris’ value as a partner and in its ability to deliver reliable prime power while also providing redundancy and complementary backup to grid power. Additionally, we have secured meaningful new generation capacity to meet the continued demand we see for power, whether it is co-located, off-grid, or back up.”

“Solaris Logistics Solutions activity increased significantly from fourth quarter 2024 levels due in part to a seasonal rebound in activity but also from adding new customers that needed a solution that could keep up with the completions efficiencies they are achieving on their well sites. We will continue to seek opportunities to create value for other potential Logistics Solutions customers by continuing to demonstrate our ability to enhance well site efficiencies via our all-electric, high-throughput systems and dedication to service.”

About Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this news release presents non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted pro forma net income and Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. Although management believes the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Solaris’ overall financial performance, the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

SEGMENT REPORTING

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

We report two distinct business segments, which offer different services and align with how our chief operating decision maker assesses operating performance and allocates resources.

Our reporting segments are:

• Solaris Logistics Solutions – designs and manufactures specialized equipment that enables the efficient management of raw materials used in the completion of oil and natural gas wells. Solaris’ equipment-based logistics services including field technician support, software solutions, and may also include last mile and mobilization services.
• Solaris Power Solutions – provides configurable sets of natural gas-powered mobile turbines and ancillary equipment. This segment primarily leases equipment to data center and energy customers and is focused on continuing to grow its services with these customers as well as across multiple commercial and industrial end-markets.

We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, and certain non-cash items and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.

Summarized financial information by business segment is shown below. The financial information by business segment for prior periods has been restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments.

RECONCILIATION AND CALCULATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL MEASURES

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We use them to assess our results of operations because it allows us, our investors and our lenders to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of varying levels of interest expense due to our capital structure, depreciation and amortization due to our asset base and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding trends and other factors affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

We define EBITDA as net income, plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash items and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results of operation and financial condition as reported in accordance with GAAP. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA.

ADJUSTED PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER FULLY DILUTED SHARE

Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Solaris assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests in Solaris LLC not held by Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company doesn't believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of ongoing business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding units of Solaris LLC (“Solaris LLC Units”), after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Solaris as a result of increases in its ownership of Solaris LLC, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Solaris. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Solaris, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are set forth below.
