The company's balance sheet remains robust with
Liberty Energy's technological advancements are a key differentiator in their operational success. The deployment of the Sentinel AI-powered logistics software and achieving record pumping efficiencies underscore the company's commitment to innovation and operational excellence. Sentinel's capability to leverage real-time data and predictive analytics has significantly reduced proppant delivery downtime by 90%, decreased truck count and delivery time by approximately 35%. This not only lowers operational costs but also improves overall efficiency, making the company more competitive.
Moreover, the company's focus on natural gas-powered technologies, such as digiFleets and dual fuel equipment, aligns with the broader industry trend towards lowering emissions and enhancing sustainability. The record gas substitution levels achieved highlight Liberty's leading position in integrating eco-friendly technology into their operations. This commitment to green technology and innovation could attract ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) focused investors, adding a potential growth segment in the investor base.
Liberty Energy's market positioning and strategic response to industry-wide trends are noteworthy. The company has managed to deliver strong financial results despite a modest softening in industry drilling and completions activity. The 28% TTM Adjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) demonstrates the company's efficiency in utilizing its capital, a key metric for assessing long-term profitability and operational performance.
The outlook section indicates a cautious yet optimistic stance on market conditions. While short-term volatility in commodity prices due to OPEC+'s decisions and fluctuating natural gas prices may pose challenges, Liberty's strategic investments in natural gas-fueled technologies and AI-driven logistics platforms are likely to drive future growth. The company's readiness to adapt to changing market dynamics and focus on delivering value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases is encouraging for retail investors seeking both growth and income potential.

“In the second quarter we delivered strong operating and financial performance and demonstrated the value of Liberty’s competitive advantage,” commented Chris Wright, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered
“We are focused on providing the most capital efficient, lowest emissions natural gas fueled technologies that maximize our returns while lowering the total delivered cost to our customers. Our displacement of diesel with natural gas is now at the highest level in Company history from the deployment of our natural gas fueled digiFleets and record gas substitution with our dual fuel equipment. Over the past year, we have increased dual fuel gas substitution levels by over
“We have built a differential competitive position and are broadening our advantage with strategic investment in the complete value chain of next generation fleet technologies. LPI’s power generation technology and fueling capabilities enhance our frac business and provide unique expansion opportunities. Our strong investment returns are supported by rising demand for cost effective, reliable, low emission, power dense solutions, with applications both within and outside the oilfield. We are positioned to drive higher earnings in the years ahead, while continuing to return capital to shareholders. Since the reinstatement of our capital returns program, we have now distributed
Outlook
Global oil and gas markets remain constructive on favorable multi-year market fundamentals, despite near term volatility in commodity prices. In June, a surprise decision from OPEC+ to gradually unwind voluntary production cuts beginning in October drove oil prices lower. Even then, prices were well above those supportive of attractive E&P returns and have since recovered on relatively balanced supply and demand dynamics owing to resilient global economic growth and rising demand for transportation fuels with the summer travel season underway.
Natural gas prices saw a resurgence from early spring lows as gas producers reduced drilling and completions activity and curtailed production. Recent reinstatement of some curtailed production has moved prices downward but still above recent cycle lows. The commissioning of new LNG export facilities and continued growth in power demand are expected to drive higher natural gas demand, and eventually firmer natural gas prices.
Frac industry trends have moderated marginally in recent periods, on the heels of slightly softer drilling activity in both oil and gas basins during the first half of 2024. Industry-wide completions activity has declined to levels consistent with approximately flat oil and gas production. For the
As E&P operators continue to consolidate, their efforts are focused on efficiency gains through partnership with service companies that can deliver superior performance and provide technical solutions to create value. Liberty’s supply chain has continued to rapidly innovate and drive efficiencies in procurement, construction, and delivery of essential materials for frac operations. The resulting efficiencies benefit both our customers and our business. Liberty’s digiTechnologies, LPI services, top-notch supply chain, scale and integrated services enable us to drive improvements across the board for our customers and grow our industry competitive advantage.
“As we continue to execute on our returns-focused value proposition, we are well-positioned to deliver strong financial and operational performance. Our strategic investments deepen our portfolio of natural gas fueled pumping and power generation technologies, driving higher earnings and cash flow generation potential,” commented Chris Wright.
“Industry conditions moderated through the first half of the year. We now anticipate total North American completions activity will be modestly softer in the second half of the year due to budget front-loading by some operators. However, we expect Liberty’s financial performance to be similar in the second half of the year compared to the first half,” continued Mr. Wright. “We expect to continue investing in our competitively advantaged portfolio, deliver healthy free cash flow and return capital to our shareholders. We are committed to safely and responsibly creating long-term value for our partners and shareholders.”

The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes unaudited non-GAAP financial and operational measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share, and Adjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”). We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial and operational measures provides useful information about our financial performance and results of operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, new fleet or new basin start-up costs, fleet lay-down costs, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, unrealized gain or loss on investments, net, bad debt reserves, transaction and other costs, the loss or gain on remeasurement of liability under our tax receivable agreements, and other non-recurring expenses that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance.
Our board of directors, management, investors, and lenders use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation, depletion, and amortization) and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under
We present Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share because we believe such measures provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance by excluding the after-tax impacts of unusual or one-time benefits or costs, including items such as unrealized gain or loss on investments, net, transaction and other costs, and the loss or gain on remeasurement of liability under our tax receivable agreements, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of our normal operating results. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income after eliminating the effects of such excluded items and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management analyzes net income without the impact of these items as an indicator of performance to identify underlying trends in our business.
We define ROCE as the ratio of adjusted pre-tax net income (adding back income tax and certain adjustments that include tax receivable agreement impacts, unrealized gain or loss on investments, net, and transaction and other costs, when applicable) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 to Average Capital Employed. Average Capital Employed is the simple average of total capital employed (both debt and equity) as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. ROCE is presented based on our management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures are useful information to investors when evaluating our profitability and the efficiency with which management has employed capital over time. Our management uses ROCE for that purpose. ROCE is not a measure of financial performance under
Non-GAAP financial and operational measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial and operational measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
