Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Revenue decreased 6.2% QoQ and 15.9% YoY. The Hydraulic Fracturing segment saw a 15.7% QoQ decline due to reduced customer activity and pricing pressure. Conversely, the Wireline segment grew 19.9% QoQ.
• Profitability: The company reported a net loss of $8.1 million for Q2 2026, compared to a loss of $7.2 million in Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA declined 9.8% QoQ to $44.8 million.
• Capital Structure Transformation: In May 2026, the company issued $690.0 million in 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 and completed a public equity offering of 17.25 million shares for net proceeds of approximately $163.1 million. This significantly increased cash reserves from $91.3 million (Dec 2025) to $784.0 million (Jun 2026).
• Capital Expenditures: YTD 2026 capital expenditures were $155.7 million, a 39% increase from YTD 2025 ($111.7 million), driven primarily by $118.4 million invested in the Power Generation segment.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Expenditure Guidance: Full-year 2026 capital expenditures are projected between $525 million and $595 million. This includes $400–$450 million for the PROPWR power generation business and $125–$145 million for completion services.
• Strategic Focus: Management is prioritizing investment in the PROPWR business line over share repurchases. No shares were repurchased in Q2 2026; $89.2 million remains authorized under the repurchase program.
• Commitments: The company has significant equipment purchase commitments, including a global framework agreement with Caterpillar for approximately 1.5 gigawatts of power generation assets (minimum obligation ~$1.1 billion). As of June 30, 2026, ~$320.4 million of equipment was on order under this agreement.
• Risks:
  • Market Volatility: Exposure to oil and gas price fluctuations and rig count changes in the Permian Basin.
  • Customer Concentration: Revenue from ExxonMobil (including XTO) accounted for significant portions of total revenue ($39.3M in Q2 2026). A key contract with XTO expires in late 2026 with no expectation of renewal, creating redeployment risk for electric fleets.
  • Regulatory & Tax: Ongoing Texas Comptroller audits regarding fuel and gross receipt taxes, with an estimated settlement of $6.0 million for one audit and $0.8 million for another.
  • Convertible Notes: Accounting treatment of the new convertible notes may increase reported interest expense and dilute earnings per share.

Investor Verification Checklist

• ExxonMobil/XTO Contract Renewal: Verify the status of negotiations for the XTO contract expiring late 2026 and the plan for redeploying the two committed FORCE electric fleets.
• Power Generation Demand: Assess the sustainability of power demand growth (data centers/industrial) and the company's ability to secure long-term contracts to justify the $400M+ capital investment.
• Debt Service Capacity: Review the impact of the new $690M convertible notes and equipment loans on future interest coverage, noting the amortization of debt issuance costs.
• Tax Audit Resolution: Monitor the final outcomes of the Texas Comptroller audits and the Texas Workforce Commission audit to ensure no material adverse financial impact beyond current accruals.
• Capital Allocation: Confirm if the company will resume share repurchases in 2027 or continue to prioritize debt reduction and CapEx for the PROPWR segment.
