Management Comments

Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “ProPetro delivered another resilient quarter, driven by our industrialized operating model and focus on capital-light assets. Notwithstanding market headwinds, our completions business continues to generate reliable free cash flow, supported by disciplined strategy execution, operational excellence, and effective cost management.

“The broader energy markets, including the completions market in the Permian Basin, continue to face challenges. That said, ProPetro is successfully navigating these dynamics by controlling what we can control — our everyday business decisions. Our strategic investments, particularly in expanding PROPWR and our FORCE^® electric fleet transition, have strengthened the Company’s foundation and reinforced our ability to withstand market turbulence.

“Our strategic actions have put ProPetro in a position of strength in the Permian. Led and operated by an experienced team, with a strong balance sheet and first-class customers, our company is well positioned to capitalize on opportunities and drive free cash flow growth and value creation over time. We believe ProPetro’s strengths will enable us to continue to outperform."

Caleb Weatherl, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “ProPetro delivered durable third quarter financial results despite a decrease in overall activity levels across the Permian Basin. ProPetro maintains a strong cash and liquidity position, currently supported by the sustainable free cash flow generated by our completions business. This financial strength enables us to remain flexible and responsive to evolving market dynamics and the growth needs of our PROPWR business. While our completions business has demonstrated resilience, market conditions still remain challenging and it has not generated the level of free cash flow we anticipated earlier this year, making access to external capital essential for the meaningful expansion of our power generation business. To support this growth, we have secured a letter of intent for a $350 million lease financing facility, with closing expected before the end of the year. This facility is designed to maximize our financial flexibility, enabling us to draw funds as needed to accelerate or scale PROPWR projects. We intend to exhibit discipline in how we utilize this facility, ensuring we preserve a healthy balance sheet while supporting our continued growth."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Revenue was $294 million, compared to $326 million for the second quarter of 2025. The 10% decrease in revenue was largely attributable to lower utilization in our hydraulic fracturing business.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $39 million relating to cost of services, was $237 million during the third quarter of 2025.

General and administrative ("G&A") expense of $22 million was down from $28 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in G&A expense is primarily attributable to a $5 million increase in favorable adjustment to business acquisition contingent consideration payable. G&A expense excluding nonrecurring and noncash items (stock-based compensation, business acquisition contingent consideration adjustments, retention bonuses and severance expenses) was $22 million, or 8% of revenue, a decrease of 5% as compared to the prior quarter.

Net loss totaled $2 million, or $0.02 loss per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7 million, or $0.07 loss per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $35 million from $50 million in the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower revenues, and expenses associated with transitioning to a reduced fleet count.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $42 million as compared to $54 million in the prior quarter.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2025, the Company extended its $200 million share repurchase program to December 2026. Since the program's inception in May 2023, the Company has repurchased 13 million shares, representing approximately 11% of outstanding common stock. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares, as it continues to prioritize the launch and scaling of the PROPWR business.

PROPWR Update

Mr. Sledge commented, “PROPWR made significant progress over the past several months, including the deployment of our first assets in the field, where we have observed excellent operational efficiency and reliability. Furthermore, as announced earlier this week, we secured a long-term contract to commit approximately 60 megawatts to support a hyperscaler’s data center in the Midwest region of the United States, marking our entry into the data center power market. This builds on our previously announced inaugural contract last quarter, which committed 80 megawatts over a 10-year term to a distributed oilfield microgrid installation. Additionally, during the quarter, we signed another in-field power contract to support production operations for a Permian E&P customer. We are also in advanced negotiations and deployment planning for a long-term 70 megawatt agreement with a large Permian E&P operator that is expected to include asset deployments before year-end and will support a turnkey distributed microgrid installation. In total, we now have over 150 megawatts contracted, with expectations to reach at least 220 megawatts contracted by the end of the year. While we are pleased with both our current contracts and those nearing completion, we are even more optimistic about future growth. Given the accelerating demand for power, our active commercial pipeline, and the expansion and extension opportunities available with our existing customers, we believe we are poised to deepen existing relationships, expand our reach to new partners and drive substantial long-term growth.

“To support our expanding commercial pipeline, we’ve placed orders for an additional 140 megawatts of equipment, bringing our total delivered or on-order capacity to 360 megawatts. We expect all units to be delivered by early 2027, with contracts expected to be in place ahead of delivery. Thanks to our strong relationships with supply chain partners, we are well positioned to order additional capacity and anticipate 750 megawatts delivered by year-end 2028. Notably, we have also included additional 5-year growth guidance for PROPWR in our updated investor presentation deck. We currently estimate that the total cost of this equipment, including the balance of plant, will average approximately $1.1 million per megawatt.

“To help fund this growth, we have executed a letter of intent for a $350 million leasing facility with an investment-grade partner experienced in power generation financing. In today’s challenging completions market, access to external capital is critical for scaling our power business. We will utilize this facility judiciously, drawing funds only as necessary to accelerate or expand projects. With long-term take-or-pay contracts, durable assets, and robust expected returns, we believe PROPWR is well positioned to leverage debt effectively in a disciplined as needed manner to pursue its growth objectives.

“This is still just the beginning for PROPWR. Our momentum in securing customer commitments continues, and we are actively negotiating additional long-term contracts. The demand for reliable, low-emission power solutions is accelerating, and we believe we are well-positioned to capture this opportunity. Looking ahead, we intend to grow in our oilfield power projects, while also seeking to further expand in the data center arena given the significant build out underway in that sector. We see clear potential not just to grow, but to multiply our installed capacity, with expectations of one gigawatt or greater by 2030.”

Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of September 30, 2025, total cash was $67 million and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter of 2025 was $158 million including cash and $91 million of available capacity under the ABL Credit Facility.

During the third quarter of 2025, capital expenditures paid were $44 million and capital expenditures incurred were $98 million, including approximately $20 million primarily supporting maintenance in the Company's completions business and approximately $79 million supporting its PROPWR orders. During the quarter, some of the PROPWR spending was accelerated, as our supply chain partners have consistently delivered equipment efficiently and on or ahead of schedule, allowing us to meet customer demand sooner than expected. 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 third quarter of 2025 was $43 million.

Guidance

The Company now anticipates full-year 2025 capital expenditures incurred to be between $270 million and $290 million, down from the $270 million to $310 million range highlighted in the Company's second quarter earnings report. Of this, the completions business is now expected to account for $80 million to $100 million, a reduction from last quarter's guidance given the realized decline in completions activity and the ongoing cost optimization efforts. Additionally, the Company now expects to incur approximately $190 million in 2025 for its PROPWR business, due to accelerated delivery schedules and down payments to support additional orders. In 2026, capital expenditures for PROPWR are projected to be between $200 million and $250 million, depending on further accelerated delivery schedules and additional orders. This outlook is based on the current 360 megawatts of PROPWR equipment on order, with plans to reach a total of approximately 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 the 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 maintain 10 to 11 active fleets in the fourth quarter with normal holiday seasonality effects. However, the Company anticipates a sequential improvement in the PROPWR segment, which should help offset holiday impacts and bolster margins. Looking ahead, and under current market conditions, the Company expects to sustain at least this level of frac fleet activity into 2026.

Outlook

Mr. Sledge concluded, “We believe there is significant opportunity in market cycles like this as smaller and less disciplined competitors at the bottom end of the market, that have not invested in next-generation technology, are unable to sustain adequate returns. We intend to capitalize on this environment and emerge on the other side of the cycle healthier and stronger than before.

“As we look to the final quarter of the year and ahead to 2026, we will continue to execute on our strategy that has allowed us to proactively respond to changing market conditions in a nimble manner. Despite the headwinds facing the industry, we remain confident in our differentiated strategy and the future of ProPetro. We firmly believe our company is uniquely positioned to succeed because we have a business that sustains through cycles, backed by a strong balance sheet and durable customer relationships, and we have an emerging and exciting platform in PROPWR. With approximately 70% of our active frac horsepower on long-term contracts, and continued demand for our next-generation fleets and reliable power infrastructure, ProPetro will continue to capitalize on opportunities to deliver value for our 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, (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 as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. 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.
