Management Comments

Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "ProPetro’s fourth quarter and full-year performance demonstrates the strength and resilience of our industrialized model, delivering strong results despite challenging market conditions. Our legacy completions business continues to generate meaningful free cash flow, fueling ongoing investments in PROPWR. Meanwhile, our disciplined approach to cost and fleet management drove notable margin improvements in the fourth quarter. Market uncertainty remains, driven by a slowdown in completions activity in the Permian Basin, compounded by tariff impacts and OPEC+ production increases throughout 2025. Despite these headwinds, our resilient completions business and expanding PROPWR platform provide ProPetro with a strong foundation to navigate and withstand ongoing market turbulence."

Sledge concluded, "Looking ahead, our experienced team’s commitment to disciplined cost management, our partnerships with first-class customers, and ProPetro’s strong balance sheet position us for continued success. As demand for reliable, low-emission power solutions accelerates, we are well-equipped to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver sustainable value for all stakeholders."

Caleb Weatherl, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "ProPetro delivered strong fourth quarter results by focusing on maximizing returns across our completions business lines. Our healthy balance sheet, cash, and liquidity position, currently driven by our cash generating completions business, enables us to reinvest substantial resources into PROPWR’s ongoing expansion, which continued this quarter through new contracts and additional equipment orders. We remain committed to PROPWR’s long-term growth and, in January, completed an equity offering that reduces our near-term reliance on debt and enhances our financial flexibility."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Revenue was $290 million, compared to $294 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to reduced hydraulic fracturing activity during the holiday period; however, the holiday impact was less pronounced than in previous years.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $41 million, decreased to $215 million from $237 million during the third quarter of 2025. The reduction reflects the Company's prudent cost management efforts during the quarter, as it further rationalized its cost structure in response to fleet reductions that occurred in the third quarter.

General and administrative ("G&A") expense was $29 million. G&A expense excluding non-recurring and non-cash items (stock-based compensation, business acquisition contingent consideration adjustments, retention bonuses and severance expenses) was $24 million, or 8% of revenue, compared to $22 million for the third quarter of 2025.

Net income totaled $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $51 million from $35 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the Company's effective cost management and rationalization during the quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $81 million as compared to $42 million for the third quarter of 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $91 million, borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million and borrowings under the financing agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation were $78 million. Total liquidity at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 was $205 million, which included cash and cash equivalents and $114 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Notably, as of January 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $236 million, borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million and borrowings under the financing agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation were $87 million. Total liquidity as of January 31, 2026 was $325 million, which included cash and cash equivalents and $89 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. The increase from year end is primarily due to the approximately $163 million in net proceeds the Company received through the equity offering completed in January.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, capital expenditures paid were $64 million and capital expenditures incurred were $71 million, including approximately $12 million primarily supporting maintenance in the Company's completions business and approximately $59 million supporting its PROPWR orders. During the quarter, some of the PROPWR spending was accelerated, as supply chain partners have consistently delivered equipment efficiently and on time or ahead of schedule. Notably, the difference between incurred and paid capital expenditures is primarily comprised of PROPWR-related capital expenditures that have been financed and paid directly by the financing partner and unpaid capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities as shown on the statement of cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2025 was $39 million, which included capital expenditures paid of $64 million, offset by $14 million in proceeds from certain asset sales and $11 million in proceeds from the note receivable from the sale of our Vernal, Utah cementing operation that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024.

PROPWR Update

Mr. Sledge commented, “2025 was an exciting year for PROPWR where we made significant progress as we capitalized on robust customer demand to not only launch the business, but to bring our total committed capacity to now approximately 240 megawatts and deploy our first assets to the field. This contracted total includes recent contract wins supporting production operations for Permian E&P customers, secured since our update in December. Additionally, as announced in December, we placed orders for an additional 190 megawatts of equipment, increasing our total delivered or on-order capacity to approximately 550 megawatts. With this order, PROPWR’s equipment portfolio is split approximately 70% and 30% between high-efficiency natural gas reciprocating engine generators and low emissions modular turbines, respectively. PROPWR anticipates all units will be delivered by year-end 2027, with contracts expected to be secured ahead of delivery. PROPWR’s total cost per megawatt for the approximately 550 megawatts ordered to date averages approximately $1.1 million, including balance of plant.

“We are confident in the business’s future growth capabilities and expect to secure additional contracts throughout 2026 due to our flexible asset base, ability to rapidly respond to evolving customer demands, and quality execution. Furthermore, we would like to reaffirm our five-year growth outlook for PROPWR, as communicated last quarter. We are positioned to deliver at least 750 megawatts by year-end 2028 and one gigawatt or more by year-end 2030. Our standing in the supply chain not only enables us to meet these milestones, but also provides us the ability to scale beyond these targets if the right opportunities present themselves. Moreover, we are seeing a growing number of inquiries from potential data center and industrial clients. Over time, we anticipate these opportunities will occupy a higher share of our overall capacity, driven by both their larger load needs and longer-term strategic commitments. These evolving market dynamics, coupled with our strategic partnerships and operational excellence, uniquely position us to capitalize on large-scale, long-term demand and drive sustained value for our clients and stakeholders. These growth targets reflect the significant opportunity we see in the market for reliable, low‑emission power generation solutions. PROPWR’s momentum is tangible and we’re excited to continue our efforts to expand our reach and drive long-term growth.

“As we continue to deploy capital to grow PROPWR, we remain committed to maintaining financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet. This commitment is supported by our cash-generating businesses, our recently expanded financing agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, now totaling approximately $157 million, our previously announced $350 million lease financing facility, and the recent equity offering, which provided the Company with approximately $163 million in cash, net of fees.”

Guidance

The Company anticipates full-year 2026 capital expenditures to be between $390 million and $435 million. Of this amount, the Completions business is expected to account for approximately $140 million to $160 million, including approximately $40 million to $50 million related to lease buyouts for a portion of the Company’s FORCE^® electric fleet portfolio. As a reminder, the five FORCE^® electric fleet leases were secured with an initial three‑year term and include options to either buy out or extend the leases at the end of that period. The intent behind these leases was to defer upfront capital expenditures while securing the equipment at an attractive cost of capital, supported by the contracted earnings from the FORCE^® electric fleets. This strategy proved successful, enabling the Company to rapidly transform its fleet and still generate accretive cash flow. The upcoming lease buyouts reflect the completion of a deliberate and strategic capital allocation decision. By exercising these options, the Company will take full ownership of the FORCE^® fleets. Each buyout will immediately reduce the Company's lease expense, currently reflected in operating expenses, and strengthen its commercial flexibility. The Company expects to buy out all five fleets, with buyouts anticipated to begin in late 2026 and through 2028. The Completions business guidance range also includes capital reserved for refurbishing a portion of the existing Tier IV DGB fleet, investments in fleet automation technology, as well as measured investments in direct drive gas frac units. These direct drive gas frac units are highly complementary to the current frac asset base, and their integration is anticipated to partially offset future capital requirements for investments and refurbishments in the Company's conventional frac fleet. Additionally, the Company expects to incur approximately $250 million to $275 million in 2026 for its PROPWR business. This range allows for additional equipment orders and associated down payments. The outlook is based on the current 550 megawatts of PROPWR equipment on order, as well as plans to reach at least 750 megawatts delivered by year-end 2028. While these PROPWR capital expenditure estimates reflect the total cost of the equipment, they do not account for the impact of financing arrangements, which are expected to reduce near-term actual cash outflows or cash capex required from the Company.

Although near-term opportunities to add additional fleets remain limited, the Company expects to operate 11 active frac fleets in the first quarter. Winter weather disruptions were significant in January, leading to substantial utilization impacts during the last week of January which we expect to have a meaningful impact to first quarter profitability.

Pertaining to PROPWR, in the first half of 2026, the Company’s primary focus will be on the successful deployment and scaling of PROPWR assets across our existing contracted customer base. By emphasizing robust implementation and actively de-risking deployments during this period, the Company is positioning PROPWR for long-term growth. This strategic approach is expected to establish a strong operational foundation, enabling PROPWR to begin delivering positive and increasingly meaningful earnings in the second half of 2026, in alignment with the Company’s growth objectives.

Outlook

Mr. Sledge concluded, “ProPetro’s commitment to investing in next-generation technologies and assets, combined with industry-leading efficiency, positions the Company to capitalize on opportunities arising from challenging market cycles, which often lead to attrition among smaller and less-disciplined competitors unable to sustain prolonged downturns.

“This market rationalization is expected to provide structural benefits for well-capitalized, next-generation operators like ProPetro. As market conditions strengthen over time and supply-side dynamics realign with completions demand, ProPetro remains well positioned, supported by a healthy balance sheet, strong completions free cash flow, and a clear growth engine in PROPWR. The Company will continue to focus on quality execution at PROPWR, establishing a solid operational foundation to deliver meaningful earnings over time, while leveraging its portfolio of next-generation assets, first-class customers, and talented team to deliver ongoing value to customers and stakeholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow for Completions Business are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) loss (gain) on disposal of assets and businesses, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) business acquisition contingent consideration adjustments, (iv) other expense (income), (v) 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 (vi) retention bonus and severance expense.

We define Free Cash Flow for Completions Business as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities plus net cash used in operating activities for PROPWR plus net cash used in investing activities for PROPWR.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, and net cash from operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow for Completions Business. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow or Free Cash Flow for Completions Business in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow for Completions Business 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.
