Insights

Atlas Energy Solutions' Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While total sales increased 49% quarter-over-quarter to $287.5 million, net income margin dropped significantly from 14% in Q1 to 5% in Q2. This decline can be attributed to higher costs related to the Kermit Feed System reconstruction and lower throughput.

The company's Adjusted EBITDA margin also decreased from 39% to 25%, indicating pressure on profitability. However, the completion of the Kermit facility repairs and the full quarter contribution from the Hi-Crush acquisition suggest potential for improved performance in Q3.

The increased quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share signals management's confidence in future cash flows. With a strong liquidity position of $279.2 million, Atlas appears well-positioned to fund its growth initiatives, including the Dune Express project.

Atlas Energy's Q2 results reflect the volatile nature of the energy services sector. The company's ability to increase sales volumes by 26% quarter-over-quarter, despite operational challenges, demonstrates resilience in market demand. However, lower average pricing during the period suggests ongoing competitive pressures in the industry.

The 101% increase in service sales, largely due to the Hi-Crush acquisition, highlights Atlas's strategic move to diversify its revenue streams. This could potentially provide more stability in future earnings, reducing reliance on product sales alone.

The transition from a base plus variable dividend structure to a standalone base dividend of $0.23 per share may appeal to income-focused investors seeking more predictable returns. This change, coupled with the company's focus on growth projects like Dune Express, positions Atlas as a balanced play in the energy services sector.

John Turner, President & CEO, commented, “While second quarter results were weighed down by lower throughput and higher costs related to the reconstruction of the Kermit Feed System, the rest of our operations performed exceedingly well. The reconstruction of the damaged feed system was completed at the end of June, and, after a ramp-up period in July, Atlas is back to normal loadout operations today at Kermit. With the recovery in our productive capacity, we expect our third quarter financial results to meaningfully improve sequentially relative to those of the second quarter. I am extremely proud of our team’s remarkable response times and tireless work ethic throughout this incident, and I would like to congratulate and say thank you to our entire organization for responding so admirably to the event. We’re looking forward to the remainder of 2024 as we near the initial in-service date of the Dune Express.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Second quarter 2024 total sales increased $94.9 million, or 49% when compared to the first quarter of 2024, to $287.5 million. Product sales increased $14.8 million, or 13% when compared to the first quarter of 2024, to $128.2 million. Second quarter 2024 sales volumes increased to 4.9 million tons, or 26% when compared to the first quarter of 2024, which was offset by lower average pricing experienced during the period. Service sales increased by $80.1 million, or 101% when compared to the first quarter of 2024, to $159.3 million. The increase in service sales was largely due to a full quarter of contribution of Hi-Crush.

Second quarter 2024 cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and accretion expense) (“cost of sales”) increased by $95.4 million, or 89% when compared to the first quarter of 2024, to $202.1 million. The increase in our cost of sales was primarily driven by a full quarter of contribution associated with the Hi-Crush operations, and elevated costs associated with operations at our damaged Kermit facility.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $0.7 million, or 3% when compared to the first quarter of 2024, to $27.3 million. Included within our SG&A is $5.5 million in stock based compensation and $5.9 million in other acquisition related costs.

Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $14.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $72.0 million.

Liquidity, Capital Expenditures and Other

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s total liquidity was $279.2 million, which was comprised of $104.7 million in cash and cash equivalents (held in cash, CDs, and three-month Treasury bills), $74.5 million of availability under the Company’s ABL Facility, and $100 million of availability under the Company's Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. The Company had $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $0.6 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit.

Net cash used in investing activities was $115.8 million during the second quarter of 2024, driven largely by the construction of the Dune Express and additional OnCore deployments.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

On August 1, 2024, the Board of Directors of Atlas declared an increased dividend to common stockholders of $0.23 per share, or approximately $25.3 million in aggregate to shareholders. We have elected to move away from the base plus variable dividend structure to a standalone base dividend. The dividend will be payable on August 22, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2024.

About Atlas Energy Solutions

Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. is a leading proppant producer and proppant logistics provider, serving primarily the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. We operate 13 proppant production facilities across the Permian Basin with a combined annual production capacity of 28 million tons, including both large-scale in-basin facilities and smaller distributed mining units. We manage a portfolio of leading-edge logistics assets, which includes our 42-mile Dune Express conveyor system, which is currently under construction and is scheduled to come online in the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition to our conveyor infrastructure, we manage a fleet of 120 trucks, which are capable of delivering expanded payloads due to our custom-manufactured trailers and drop-depot process. Our approach to managing both our proppant production and proppant logistics operations is intently focused on leveraging technology, automation and remote operations to drive efficiencies.

We are a low-cost producer of various high-quality, locally sourced proppants used during the well completion process. We offer both dry and damp sand, and carry various mesh sizes including 100 mesh and 40/70 mesh. Proppant is a key component necessary to facilitate the recovery of hydrocarbons from oil and natural gas wells.

Our logistics platform is designed to increase the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the oil and natural gas industry within the Permian Basin. Proppant logistics is increasingly a differentiating factor affecting customer choice among proppant producers. The cost of delivering sand, even short distances, can be a significant component of customer spending on their well completions given the substantial volumes that are utilized in modern well designs.

We continue to invest in and pursue leading-edge technologies, including autonomous trucking, digital infrastructure, and artificial intelligence, to support opportunities to gain efficiencies in our operations. These technology-focused investments aim to improve our cost structure and also combine to produce beneficial environmental and community impacts.

While our core business is fundamentally aligned with a lower emissions economy, our core obligation has been, and will always be, to our stockholders. We recognize that maximizing value for our stockholders requires that we optimize the outcomes for our broader stakeholders, including our employees and the communities in which we operate. We are proud of the fact that our approach to innovation in the hydrocarbon industry while operating in an environmentally responsible manner creates immense value. Since our founding in 2017, our core mission has been to improve human beings’ access to the hydrocarbons that power our lives while also delivering differentiated social and environmental progress. Our Atlas team has driven innovation and has produced industry-leading environmental benefits by reducing energy consumption, emissions, and our aerial footprint. We call this Sustainable Environmental and Social Progress.

We were founded in 2017 by Ben M. “Bud” Brigham, our Executive Chairman, and are led by an entrepreneurial team with a history of constructive disruption bringing significant and complementary experience to this enterprise, including the perspective of longtime E&P operators, which provides for an elevated understanding of the end users of our products and services. Our executive management team has a proven track record with a history of generating positive returns and value creation. Our experience as E&P operators was instrumental to our understanding of the opportunity created by in-basin sand production and supply in the Permian Basin, which we view as North America’s premier shale resource and which we believe will remain its most active through economic cycles.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion and Maintenance Capital Expenditures are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, to assess our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of development activities, provide views on capital resources available to organically fund growth projects and, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends or reinvest to organically fund growth projects over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis.

These measures do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion and Maintenance Capital Expenditures may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Non-GAAP Measure Definitions:

  • We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation, depletion and accretion, interest expense, income tax expense, stock and unit-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on disposal of assets, insurance recovery (gain), unrealized commodity derivative gain (loss), other acquisition related costs, and non-recurring transaction costs. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing method or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
  • We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total sales.
  • We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as it provides a measure of the ability of our business to generate cash.
  • We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by total sales.
  • We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
  • We define Maintenance Capital Expenditures as capital expenditures excluding growth capital expenditures and reconstruction of previously incurred growth capital expenditures.
