Announcing a 17% increase to the quarterly dividend from
$0.09 per share to$0.105 per share, reflecting consistent business performance and confidence in the Company’s long-term outlook
“Aris had an exceptional start to 2024, continuing to build on our momentum and strong results from last year. We grew produced water volumes 6% sequentially and expanded our operating margins to new highs. Our consistent performance is reflective of the hard work of our dedicated team leveraging our critical expansive infrastructure to support the delivery of our differentiated water solutions,” said
“Aris’s long-term infrastructure contracts continue to provide significant volume and revenue visibility. Over 80% of our revenue is from these production-based dedication agreements in the core of the
“Given our balance sheet strength, expectations for continued growth, and confidence in our ability to increase our free cash flow, we are pleased to announce a 17% increase to our quarterly dividend. We expect to further reduce our capital expenditures in the second half of 2024 and intend to evaluate additional opportunities to increase returns to shareholders.
“While we remain focused on execution in our core environmental infrastructure business, we are evaluating adjacent growth opportunities and have made progress in our beneficial reuse and mineral extraction efforts. We are successfully piloting and developing processes to desalinate and treat produced water to standards acceptable for aquifer replenishment, agriculture, and industrial uses and are actively pursuing how to cost effectively scale these technologies.
“After extensive long-term testing, Aris has identified high-value minerals that could potentially be economically recovered from our produced water. Aris is now assessing potential partnership opportunities to commercialize the extraction of certain minerals.
“Beneficial reuse and mineral extraction could expand our markets and revenue streams, and we are excited to be taking a leadership role in the future of the industry while executing exceptionally well and returning cash to shareholders.”

SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
“2024 is off to a strong start and we are encouraged by our outlook for the rest of the year. The first quarter of 2024 benefited from new well connections being delivered earlier than expected, which pulled forward produced water volumes from the second quarter into the first. Additionally, certain flowback volumes resulted in higher skim oil recoveries than we normally see and certain well maintenance costs were delayed until later this year. We estimate the EBITDA benefit to the quarter from these items was approximately
As we update our outlook for the balance of the year and consider first quarter results, we are increasing the low-end of our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, establishing a new range of between
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company expects:
- Produced Water Handling volumes between 1,015 and 1,045 thousand barrels of water per day
- Water Solutions volumes between 400 and 430 thousand barrels of water per day
-
Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel2 between
$0.42 and$0.44 - Skim oil recoveries of approximately 1,200 barrels per day
-
Adjusted EBITDA1 between
$44 and$48 million -
Capital Expenditures4 between
$38 and$43 million , consistent with Aris’s first-half weighted capital plan; no change to Aris’s full year capital expenditure outlook of$85 to$105 million

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company uses financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus: interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; abandoned well costs, asset impairment and abandoned project charges; losses on the sale of assets; transaction costs; research and development expense; change in payables related to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability as a result of state tax rate changes; loss on debt modification; stock-based compensation expense; and other non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges (such as temporary power costs, litigation expenses and severance costs), less any gains on the sale of assets.
The Company calculates Adjusted Operating Margin as Gross Margin plus depreciation, amortization and accretion and temporary power costs. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel as Adjusted Operating Margin divided by total volumes handled, sold or transferred.
The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income as Net Income (Loss) plus the after-tax impacts of stock-based compensation and plus or minus the after-tax impacts of certain items affecting comparability, which are typically noncash and/or nonrecurring items. The Company calculated Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share as (i) Net Income (Loss) plus the after-tax impacts of stock-based compensation and plus or minus the after-tax impacts of certain items affecting comparability, which are typically noncash and/or nonrecurring items, divided by (ii) the diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC interests, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
For the quarter ended
The Company calculates Capital Expenditures as cash capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment additions less changes in accrued capital costs.
The Company believes these presentations are used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies within its industry. Similarly, the Company’s management uses this information for comparative purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, Adjusted Net Income, and Capital Expenditures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of liquidity or as alternatives to net income (loss), gross margin, or cash paid for property, plant and equipment. Additionally, these presentations as defined by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as gross margin, operating income, net income, cash paid for property, plant, and equipment or cash flows from operating activities.
Although we provide forecasts for the non-GAAP measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, and Capital Expenditures, we are not able to forecast their most directly comparable measures (net income, gross margin, and cash paid for property, plant, and equipment) calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of forward-looking non-GAAP metrics are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements include but are not limited to non-recurring gains or losses, unusual or non-recurring items, income tax benefit or expense, or one-time transaction costs and cost of revenue, which could have a significant impact on the GAAP measures. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. As a result, no reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures is provided.
