Insights
The reported financial results of ProPetro Holding Corp. for the full year and fourth quarter of 2023 indicate a noteworthy year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, with net income escalating from $2 million in 2022 to $86 million in 2023. This substantial growth in profitability, especially in a volatile energy sector, suggests a robust operational performance and strategic capital allocation. The repurchase and retirement of 5.8 million shares, about 5% of outstanding common stock, reflect a shareholder-friendly capital return policy, potentially signaling management's confidence in the company's intrinsic value and future prospects.
However, the fourth quarter results show a contraction with a net loss of $17 million, contrasting with the previous quarter's net income of $35 million. This decline, attributed to reduced hydraulic fracturing utilization due to seasonality and customer budget exhaustion, raises concerns about the company's short-term revenue volatility and the potential impact of external factors on its operational efficiency. This is further compounded by the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from $108 million in the previous quarter to $64 million in Q4. Investors should monitor the company's ability to manage these cyclical challenges while maintaining profitability.
The deployment of two FORCESM electric hydraulic fracturing fleets, with two more expected in the first half of 2024 and the emphasis on Tier IV DGB Dual-fuel fleets, is a strategic move aligning with industry trends towards more environmentally friendly and cost-efficient technologies. Electric fleets in hydraulic fracturing are increasingly preferred due to their lower emissions and potential to reduce operational costs. ProPetro's transition to such technologies could enhance its competitive position in the Permian Basin, which is a key oil-producing region.
The acquisition of Par Five Energy Services LLC, aimed at expanding cementing services in the Delaware Basin, demonstrates ProPetro's growth strategy through accretive acquisitions. This could diversify the company's service offerings and strengthen its market presence. Investors should consider the effectiveness of such strategic moves in generating long-term value, especially in the context of the company's capital expenditure reduction plans and the anticipated decrease in capital intensity.
The forward-looking statements by ProPetro's CEO suggest confidence in the company's positioning and its ability to capitalize on value-creating opportunities in the future. The projected reduction in capital expenditures for 2024, along with the anticipated deployment of additional electric fleets, indicates a strategic shift towards capital-light assets and operational optimization. This aligns with the broader industry's focus on cost management and operational efficiency.
However, the bifurcation in the service sector, as mentioned by the CEO, where demand for top-tier service providers remains strong, could imply a challenging environment for smaller or less differentiated firms. ProPetro’s emphasis on quality service and a young, next-generation equipment offering, particularly in a concentrated market like the Permian Basin, could provide a buffer against market inconsistencies. Stakeholders should weigh these strategic elements against broader market trends, including oil price fluctuations and regulatory changes impacting the energy sector.

Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The fourth quarter proved to be more challenging than we had originally anticipated, largely due to additional deferred activity late in the quarter. However, despite the white space, which we attribute primarily to seasonality and customer budget exhaustion, we were able to continue to execute on our strategy through the acquisition of Par Five, the deployment of an additional FORCESM electric fleet under contract, and continued capital returns through our share repurchase program. Thanks to the hard work of our team throughout 2023, we improved profitability, executed a disciplined approach to asset deployment, successfully pursued accretive growth, and employed a sustainable capital allocation plan. We have transformed ProPetro into a leading dual-fuel and electric frac provider with a complement of premium completion services, primarily offered in the Permian Basin. We have advanced our strategy to industrialize our business, and are confident that ProPetro is well-positioned to continue to execute on value-creating opportunities in 2024 and beyond.”
David Schorlemer, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “2023 was a remarkable year of progress for the Company. As we have previously noted, over the last two years, we invested over

Additionally, based on its current outlook for the first quarter of 2024, ProPetro anticipates frac fleet utilization of 14 to 15 fleets.
Outlook
Mr. Sledge, added, “As we proceed in 2024, we expect the service sector to remain bifurcated and that demand for top tier service providers like ProPetro will remain strong throughout the year. We have already seen our activity recover from the impacts we experienced in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, we are on track to deploy our third and fourth FORCESM electric frac fleets in the first half of 2024. We believe electric equipment will play a significant role in ProPetro's future and are pleased to see strong demand for our FORCESM electric frac fleets and the commercial architecture under which they will be deployed."
Mr. Sledge concluded, "To reiterate, despite the recent market slowdown, demand for our next generation offerings has not waned. Our strategy is designed to generate durable returns in the current low-to-no-growth market environment and through the cycle. As our dedicated blue-chip customers seek reliable completion services at competitive costs, ProPetro is uniquely positioned to provide quality service, a young, next generation equipment offering and operational density in the Permian. This differentiation continues to insulate ProPetro from some of the market inconsistency seen in other basins and in the spot market. As we continue to optimize our operations and industrialize our business, modernize our fleet, and seek opportunistic transactions in line with our commitment to disciplined capital deployment, we are confident in ProPetro’s ability to generate meaningful shareholder returns for years to come.”

In connection with the review of our power ends estimated useful life, effective January 1, 2023, we are writing off the remaining book value of power ends that prematurely fail as accelerated depreciation. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the write-off amounts pertaining to the remaining book value of prematurely failed power ends are included in depreciation and amounted to |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense (benefit). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus (i) loss (gain) on disposal of assets, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) other expense (income), (iv) other general and administrative expense (net) and (v) other unusual or nonrecurring expenses (income) such as impairment charges, retention bonuses, severance, costs related to asset acquisitions, insurance recoveries, one-time professional fees and legal settlements. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. 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 provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. 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 or Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow 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.
