Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased by $154.5 million (14%) year-over-year for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Stimulation Services revenue dropped $120.0 million due to lower active fleets, reduced pricing, and cold weather disruptions in Q1 2026.
• Segment Performance: While Stimulation Services declined, Proppant Production revenue increased by $96.1 million (66%) and Flotek revenue increased by $57.5 million (49%), driven by higher pricing and increased intercompany sales volumes.
• Profitability: Net loss attributable to ProFrac increased by $37.7 million year-over-year for the six-month period, widening from $(125.5) million to $(163.2) million. Adjusted EBITDA declined significantly from $208.1 million to $123.4 million.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow decreased by $103.2 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower earnings and a $22.7 million cash decrease from changes in working capital (specifically increases in accounts receivable and inventory).
• Debt: Total principal debt increased by $54.3 million to $1.102 billion, including a $25.0 million issuance of 2029 Senior Notes in January 2026.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects increased pricing for Stimulation Services in Q3 2026 compared to Q2. They note increased customer demand for non-diesel hydraulic fracturing equipment and are encouraged by 2027 planning engagement.
• Capital Expenditures: Full-year 2026 CapEx is estimated at $155 million to $185 million ($100M-$120M maintenance + $55M-$65M growth).
• Liquidity: As of July 1, 2026, the company entered a new $300 million revolving credit facility, replacing the 2022 ABL facility. Remaining availability under the new facility was approximately $70.6 million.
• Risks & Contingencies:
  • Debt Covenants: The Alpine subsidiary has a Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant commencing March 31, 2028, which is being closely monitored.
  • Executive Changes: On August 6, 2026, Ladd Wilks resigned as CEO, and Matt Wilks was named CEO, effective August 7, 2026.
  • Market Conditions: Results remain dependent on oil and natural gas prices and E&P capital spending. Inflation and tariffs remain uncertain risks.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Covenant Compliance: Verify the status of the Alpine 2023 Term Loan leverage ratio covenant effective Q1 2028 and the impact of the new 2026 ABL facility covenants.
• Intercompany Transactions: Review the high volume of intercompany sales (approx. 87% of Proppant Production revenue and 58% of Flotek revenue in Q2) to understand the dependency between segments.
• Liquidity Position: Confirm the utilization of the new $300 million credit facility and the company's ability to fund operations given the decline in operating cash flow.
• Related Party Transactions: Examine the $122.9 million in expenditures with related parties (e.g., Logistix IQ, Wilks Brothers) for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
• Asset Quality: Assess the impact of the $15.0 million settlement of related party receivables against equipment purchases and the $10.5 million loss on disposal of assets in the prior year.
