Negative
  • Net loss widened to $137 million from $4 million in previous quarter

  • Operating cash flow decreased to $35 million from $105 million in prior quarter
  • Expected industry softness in Q4 due to seasonality and budget exhaustion

Insights

ProPetro's Q3 results reveal a complex financial picture. While revenue increased marginally by 1% to $361 million, the $137 million net loss was primarily due to a $189 million non-cash impairment charge on legacy equipment. The underlying business shows resilience with Adjusted EBITDA of $71 million (up 8%) and strong free cash flow of $84 million year-to-date.

The strategic transition to electric-powered fleets is gaining momentum, with three FORCE® fleets operational and two more planned. This shift, coupled with a 75% next-generation fleet target by year-end, positions the company well despite near-term industry softness. The reduced capex guidance and ongoing share repurchase program (retiring 11% of shares) demonstrate disciplined capital management.

The strategic pivot from Tier II diesel-only equipment to next-generation electric fleets marks a significant industry transformation. The $189 million impairment reflects the accelerating obsolescence of conventional fracking equipment, driven by environmental considerations and operational efficiency demands. The successful deployment of FORCE® electric fleets and secured contracts with leading customers validates this transition strategy.

Despite sector headwinds including weather impacts and customer spending moderation, ProPetro's Permian Basin focus and modernized fleet approach provide competitive advantages. The expected Q4 industry softness due to seasonal factors and budget exhaustion is typical, but the company's contracted electric fleet deployments offer earnings visibility.

MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ProPetro Holding Corp. ("ProPetro" or "the Company") (NYSE: PUMP) today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2024.

Management Comments

Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "ProPetro’s third quarter results reflect our team’s success in advancing our strategy, even in a turbulent market environment. Thanks to our decisive actions and despite moderated customer spending and activity levels, ProPetro delivered strong financial performance in the third quarter, while returning capital to shareholders and capturing additional market share. With three FORCE® electric fleets in the field, a fourth and fifth on the way, and plans to order and deploy more electric assets, ProPetro is meeting the growing demand for our next-generation services and solidifying our leadership position in the Permian Basin. The Company's strong financial performance, driven by our investment in industrialized equipment solutions and services, is supported by our commitment to operational excellence and financial discipline. In 2024, we have proven our ability to execute our strategy and are demonstrating the tremendous potential of ProPetro."

David Schorlemer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our third quarter results are signaling continued reliability of financial performance in our business. While short-term working capital headwinds impacted free cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA less our incurred capital expenditures remained strong. Additionally, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were favorably impacted by improved utilization and cost management despite unfavorable weather delays during the quarter. Capital spending remained low leading to a reduction in our full year capital expenditure guidance for the second time this year. During the quarter, we also recorded a noncash impairment expense of approximately $189 million on our Tier II diesel-only hydraulic fracturing equipment. We view this impairment as validation of our strategy, including our decision years ago to begin transitioning our fleet towards next generation gas burning equipment."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

Revenue was $361 million, compared to $357 million for the second quarter of 2024. The 1.1% increase in revenue was largely attributable to a full quarter of AquaPropSM wet sand solutions partially offset by unfavorable weather impacts in our hydraulic fracturing and wireline businesses during the quarter.

Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization of approximately $52 million relating to cost of services, were $268 million during the third quarter of 2024.

General and administrative ("G&A") expense of $28 million decreased from $31 million in the second quarter of 2024. G&A expense excluding nonrecurring and noncash items (stock-based compensation, transaction expense, and other items) of $6 million, was $22 million, or 6.1% of revenue, a decrease of 12% vs. the prior quarter.

Net loss totaled $137 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. During the quarter, the Company recorded a noncash impairment expense of approximately $189 million for its conventional Tier II diesel-only pumping units and related equipment following a comprehensive assessment in compliance with GAAP standards. The Company is on track to increase its portfolio of next-generation, lower-emissions hydraulic fracturing equipment to approximately 75% of its total fleet by the end of 2024, ensuring alignment with industry trends and customer preferences.

Adjusted Net Income in the third quarter was $13 million which excludes the noncash impairment expense compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $4 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $71 million from $66 million in the second quarter of 2024 primarily related to increased revenues and improved cost management noted above.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $35 million as compared to $105 million in the prior quarter, with an investment in working capital during the third quarter.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 24, 2024, the Company announced a $100 million increase to its share repurchase program, increasing it to a total of $200 million while extending the plan to May 2025. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased and retired 1.3 million shares for $10 million. Since inception, the Company has acquired and retired 12.6 million shares representing approximately 11% of its outstanding shares.

Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of September 30, 2024, total cash was $47 million and our borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were $45 million. Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter of 2024 was $127 million including cash and $80 million of available capacity under the ABL Credit Facility.

Capital expenditures incurred during the third quarter of 2024 were $37 million, which primarily related to maintenance and support equipment for our FORCE® electric hydraulic fracturing fleet deployments. Net cash used in investing activities as shown on the statement of cash flows during the third quarter of 2024 was $40 million.

Guidance

For the second time this year, the Company is reducing its full-year 2024 capital expenditure guidance to be between $150 million to $175 million, down from prior guidance of $175 million to $200 million.

During the third quarter, 14 hydraulic fracturing fleets were active and we expect to run approximately 14 active frac fleets in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Outlook

Mr. Sledge added, “Looking ahead, while we do expect some industry softness through normal seasonality and budget exhaustion in the fourth quarter, demand for our services remains strong. We believe ProPetro is uniquely positioned to capture the opportunities ahead and win quality market share. We remain confident in our ability to deliver strong financial results through the remainder of this year, in 2025, and beyond. To achieve this, we are focused on controlling what we can, through decisive actions that ensure prudent cost management and capital discipline. With healthy liquidity, a clean balance sheet and the derisking of future earnings through our next generation equipment and associated contracts, we believe ProPetro is optimally positioned to continue transitioning our fleet, strategically pursue organic and inorganic growth and deliver tangible, sustainable and increased value to our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow adjusted for Acquisition Consideration are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) plus impairment expense, less income tax benefit. 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) other expense (income), (iv) other unusual or nonrecurring (income) expenses such as costs related to asset acquisitions, insurance recoveries, one-time professional fees and legal settlements and (v) 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 adjusted for Acquisition Consideration as Free Cash Flow excluding net cash paid as consideration for business acquisitions.

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 Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and net cash from operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow adjusted for Acquisition Consideration. 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 Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow or Free Cash Flow adjusted for Acquisition Consideration in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow adjusted for Acquisition Consideration 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.
