Insights

TETRA posted record Q1 EBITDA of $32.3M (+41% sequentially) with strong margins offsetting mixed segment performance and reduced revenue guidance.

TETRA Technologies delivered Q1 2025 results showing substantial profitability improvements despite mixed revenue performance. Adjusted EBITDA reached $32.3 million, jumping 41% sequentially and year-over-year, while revenue increased 17% sequentially to $157 million. The profitability surge occurred despite net income before taxes declining to $5.1 million from $7.4 million in Q4, though the previous quarter included $5 million in unrealized mark-to-market gains.

Segment performance reveals a bifurcated business. Completion Fluids & Products excelled with revenue up 35% sequentially to $93 million and Adjusted EBITDA margins expanding significantly to 35.7% from 27.3% in Q4, driven by deepwater activity and seasonal European industrial chemical strength. Conversely, Water & Flowback Services struggled with revenue declining 2% sequentially to $64 million, posting a net loss before taxes of $8.9 million despite maintaining 13.0% Adjusted EBITDA margins.

The company's updated guidance presents a nuanced outlook—reducing H1 2025 revenue expectations to $315-345 million (from $325-355 million) while raising the lower end of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $57-65 million (from $55-65 million). This suggests confidence in continued margin expansion despite volume challenges.

TETRA's liquidity position remains solid at $208 million with a net leverage ratio of 1.5X. However, the reported $15.4 million base business free cash flow included $19 million from selling Kodiak shares, meaning operational cash flow was actually negative. Capital expenditures of $18 million included $11.2 million for the Arkansas bromine facility, highlighting management's strategic investment priorities despite industry uncertainty.

TETRA's diverse portfolio delivered strong Q1 results through premium deepwater fluids and strategic diversification despite oil price volatility.

TETRA's Q1 performance demonstrates how specialized products provide resilience during market volatility. The Completion Fluids segment delivered exceptional results through deployment of proprietary TETRA CS Neptune fluid for high-pressure, high-temperature Gulf of Mexico projects, driving segment Adjusted EBITDA margins to 35.7%. This premium offering, combined with seasonal strength in industrial chemicals, underscores the value of differentiated chemical solutions in demanding offshore applications.

The Water & Flowback Services segment outperformed broader market trends, with revenue dropping just 2% sequentially versus an estimated 10% decline in US frac activity. Management's emphasis on automation and proprietary technology deployment (including nearly 100% utilization of patented TETRA SandStorm and Auto-Drillout units) helped maintain 13.0% Adjusted EBITDA margins despite volume pressure—a 340 basis point improvement year-on-year.

TETRA's strategic diversification beyond traditional oilfield services provides important stability. The company is advancing several growth initiatives: desalination technology for produced water (with a commercial pilot with EOG Resources for Delaware Basin water); energy storage electrolyte supply for Eos' utility-scale batteries; and Arkansas bromine production expansion (recently approved by regulators). These ventures leverage TETRA's chemical expertise while reducing dependency on volatile oil and gas activity.

Management's commentary acknowledges uncertainty from recent oil price declines while emphasizing that automation, technology deployment, and cost control measures should result in "less volatility than what we experienced in prior cycles." The revised guidance maintains a wide range reflecting market uncertainty, yet still targets first-half Adjusted EBITDA that would approach "a ten-year record for TETRA"—demonstrating confidence in achieving strong performance despite industry headwinds.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Revenue of $157 million increased 17% sequentially
Net income before taxes and discontinued operations of $5.1 million decreased $2.3 million sequentially from $7.4 million as the prior quarter included $5 million of unrealized mark-to-market gains
Adjusted EBITDA of $32.3 million increased $9.4 million sequentially from $22.8 million
GAAP earnings per share were $0.03. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.11
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.9 million, while free cash flow from the base business was $15.4 million, including $19 million of cash proceeds from the sale of shares in Kodiak Gas Services, LLC.
Capital expenditures were $18 million, including $11.2 million related to the Arkansas bromine facility

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TETRA Technologies, Inc. ("TETRA" or the "Company") (NYSE:TTI) announced first quarter 2025 financial results.

Brady Murphy, TETRA President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with our record first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $32.3 million, which increased 41% sequentially and also compared to last year, led by strong performance from Completion Fluids and Products. Total revenue of $157 million increased 17% sequentially and 4% from last year. During the quarter, we successfully completed the first of the three scheduled TETRA CS Neptune wells and made significant progress on the second well which was subsequently completed in April.

As a result of the stronger deepwater activity and a start of the seasonally strong calcium chloride business in Northern Europe, Completion Fluids & Products adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 35.7% from 27.3% in the fourth quarter. Revenues for Water & Flowback Services declined 2% sequentially, outperforming US frac activity that declined approximately 10%. Adjusted EBITDA margins on Water & Flowback of 13.0% were down slightly from 13.6% in the fourth quarter but improved 340 basis points year on year despite much lower frac activity levels as cost control actions and continued focused on automation and technology allowed us to maintain mid-teen margins in a weaker environment.

With respect to the Company's outlook, Brady Murphy, further stated, "In the second quarter, we expect to see the full benefit of our European industrial chemicals seasonal peak, the first well from our recently awarded multi-well, multi-year deepwater Brazil project and the completion of the three well TETRA CS Neptune project. With regards to tariffs, we source a high percentage of our products and materials from the U.S. Therefore, we do not anticipate much, if any, impact to our financials from the announced tariffs. However, the recent pull-back in oil prices does create more uncertainty for our U.S. Water & Flowback segment for the second half of the year."

"Given our first quarter performance and strong second quarter outlook, we have increased the lower end of our previously communicated first half 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, and we are now expecting first half 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $57 million and $65 million (previously $55 million to $65 million). We are also revising our revenue guidance to be between $315 million and $345 million (previously $325 million to $355 million) and net income before taxes and discontinued operations to be between $10.5 million and $23.2 million. We expect adjusted net income before taxes and discontinued operations to be between $24 million and $35 million. Attainment of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the first half of the year would be near or above a ten-year record for TETRA, which would be achieved despite the uncertain environment the industry is experiencing and does not assume a material deterioration in the overall business environment from the current levels.

In the first quarter, we generated $3.9 million of cash from operating activities and $4.2 million of free cash flow, after investing $11.2 million for our Arkansas bromine project. The first quarter included $19 million of cash proceeds from the sale of our shares in Kodiak. The first quarter historically consumes cash as a result of changes in working capital. We have a strong free cash flow generating base business that should enable us to navigate through the near-term macro uncertainty and position the Company to capitalize on its emerging growth opportunities for the coming years."

⁽¹⁾

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, total adjusted free cash flow includes $11.2 million, $0.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of investments in the Arkansas bromine and lithium projects. Base business adjusted free cash flow is defined as total adjusted free cash flow prior to TETRA's investments in the Arkansas bromine and lithium projects. See Schedule G.

Completion Fluids & Products

Revenue of $93 million
Net income before taxes of $30.7 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $33.2 million with Adjusted EBITDA margins of 35.7%

Completion Fluids & Products revenue increased 35% sequentially and 20% year over year. Net income before taxes increased 77% sequentially and 55% from last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 77% sequentially and 53% from last year. Completion Fluids & Products experienced impressive revenue and earnings growth and margin improvements driven by a combination of stronger volumes for our deepwater completion fluids, and our proprietary TETRA CS Neptune fluid used to complete a high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) project in the U.S. Gulf of America.

The outlook for the Completion Fluids & Products business continues to be robust as we expect to complete two TETRA CS Neptune wells during the second quarter and benefit from the seasonality of the industrial chemicals business in Europe. Additionally, we expect to see an increase of battery electrolyte sales to Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. ("Eos") as they ramp up production of their batteries from the first automated production line. As such, we expect first half 2025 results for the Completion Fluids and Products segment to exceed first half of 2024 and be at or near record highs for TETRA.

Water & Flowback Services

Revenue of $64 million
Net loss before taxes of $8.9 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $8.3 million with Adjusted EBITDA margins of 13.0%

"Water and Flowback Services revenue was down 2% sequentially and down 13% year over year as the fourth quarter 2024 slowdown in U.S. onshore completion activity carried over to the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins were down only slightly from the fourth quarter as our focus on leveraging technology and automation plus cost reductions offset the weaker volumes. Entering the second quarter, our patented automated TETRA SandStorm and Auto-Drillout units are nearly 100% utilized which we expect to continue to enhance margins throughout the year.

Although the recent pull back in oil prices has created a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the outlook for U.S. frac activity, we believe our focus on cost reductions, automation and technology, plus the continued emphasis on treatment and recycling of produced water, and our favorable mix of super majors and large independent oil & gas operators will result in less volatility than what we experienced in prior cycles. We have proactively taken actions to reduce costs, right size our support structure, and close underperforming service lines within Water and Flowback Services. We are also minimizing capital expenditures during this period of uncertainty."

Emerging Growth Initiatives

Desalination

"With the announcement of our commercial launch of TETRA Oasis TDS and our collaboration with EOG Resources, Inc, we are very encouraged by our prospects for desalination of produced water for beneficial reuse. During the quarter, we announced a commercial pilot with EOG for a grasslands study from Delaware Basin produced water. We continue to see growing momentum across the customer base and regulatory support for this much needed industry solution. Rystad Energy estimates that in the Permian Basin alone, over 6.3 billion barrels of produced water are discharged into saltwater disposal wells per year that could be recycled and re-used for agricultural or industrial purposes, including semi-conductor chip manufacturing and data-center cooling. Such re-use will enable oil & gas operators to mitigate the risk associated with reducing disposal well pore space and the transport of produced water."

Energy Storage Electrolyte

"As the contracted strategic supplier of electrolyte products for Eos' Z3™ utility scale battery energy storage system ("BESS"), we are well positioned to benefit as Eos scales its manufacturing capabilities and delivers on its backlog. We believe that the high-purity characteristics of our patented TETRA PureFlow ultra-pure zinc bromide electrolyte, flame retardant characteristics and, mostly U.S., but 100% North America content makes it ideal for large scale utility use. We are encouraged by the progress of Eos implementing their automated production lines that is expected to result in a significant step change in electrolyte volume requirements from TETRA."

Arkansas Evergreen Brine Production Unit

"On April 24, 2025, we announced that the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission ("AOGC") approved our Evergreen Unit expansion, which will allow us to further optimize long-term brine flow for bromine, plus the potential for future lithium and other critical minerals extraction. We completed the drilling and sampling operations for our final test well on the Evergreen Unit that indicated good reservoir results. The test well results also identified encouraging levels of magnesium and manganese, both of which are currently listed as U.S. critical minerals that are largely supplied from countries outside the U.S."

"We are continuing to advance the bromine project with critical milestone investments funded from our base business free cash flow, including $11.2 million of capital expenditures in the first quarter. We are planning to commence drilling of the Evergreen Unit's first of five planned production wells in the coming months while finalizing the plant engineering and plant site preparation for erecting the bromine tower later this year."

"We are also encouraged that on April 22, 2025, the AOGC approved Standard Lithium's SWA Lithium application to establish a unit for acreage under an option agreement between Standard Lithium, SWA Lithium and TETRA. Under the option agreement, TETRA is entitled to a 2.5% royalty on gross revenues from the lithium that Standard Lithium produces from the TETRA option acreage. In addition, TETRA maintains the rights to the bromine and other mineral interests that will meet the planned phase two bromine plant production capacity."

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and RONCE

Cash from operating activities generated during the first quarter of 2025 was $3.9 million. Total adjusted free cash flow was $4.2 million, and base business adjusted free cash flow was $15.4 million. Total capital expenditures were $18 million, including $11.2 million associated with the expansion of our Arkansas bromine facility.

Liquidity at the end of the first quarter was $208 million, inclusive of an unused $75 million delayed draw feature under our Term Credit Agreement. Liquidity as of April 28, 2025, had further improved to $220 million. Liquidity is defined as unrestricted cash plus availability under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Swedish Credit Facility and the delayed draw from our Term Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2025, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $41 million, long-term debt of $180 million consisting of borrowings outstanding under our term loan, net debt of $139 million and a net leverage ratio (Net Debt/TTM Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.5X. TETRA has no near-term maturities. The unused ABL Credit Agreement has a maturity of 2029 and the Term Credit Agreement has a maturity of 2030.

Return on net capital employed ("RONCE") was 16.4% at the end of the first quarter of 2025.

Non-recurring Charges and Expenses (see Schedules E and F)

Non-recurring credits, net of charges and expenses were $10.3 million, which are reflected on Schedules E and F and include the following:

$9.5 million of non-cash cumulative accounting foreign exchange losses from the closure of our Canadian operations legal entity
$1.9 million of unusual legal and advisor fees plus severance and restructuring charges as we downsized our Water Management & Flowback operations
$1.2 million tax credit from our Argentina operations (Schedule E only)

Management believes that the exclusion of the special charges and credits from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company's operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.

Adjusted EBITDA as a % of revenue	28.1 %	9.6 %			15.1 %

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations, excluding impairments, certain special, non-recurring or other charges (or credits), including loss on debt extinguishment, interest, depreciation and amortization and certain non-cash items such as equity-based compensation expense. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations. Adjustments to long-term incentives represent cumulative adjustments to valuation of long-term cash incentive compensation awards that are related to prior years. These costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they do not relate to the current year and are considered to be outside of normal operations. Long-term incentives are earned over a three-year period and the costs are recorded over the three-year period they are earned. The amounts accrued or incurred are based on a cumulative of the three-year period. Equity-based compensation expense represents compensation that has been or will be paid in equity and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is a non-cash item. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of its normal operations and without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis, and to assess the Company's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Total adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures net of sales proceeds and cost of equipment sold, less payments on financing lease obligations and including cash distributions to TETRA from investments and cash from sales of investments. Total adjusted free cash flow does not necessarily imply residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as they exclude cash requirements for debt service or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted. Base business adjusted free cash flow is defined as Total adjusted free cash flow excluding TETRA's investments in the Arkansas bromine and lithium projects. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to:

assess the Company's ability to retire debt;
evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow; and
to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group.

Schedule H: Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Net Debt (Unaudited)

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This news release includes certain statements that are deemed to be forward-looking statements. Generally, the use of words such as "may," "see," "expectation," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "projects," "anticipate," "believe," "assume," "could," "should," "plans," "targets" or similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events, activities, expectations or outcomes identify forward-looking statements that the Company intends to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning economic and operating conditions that are outside of our control, including statements concerning the oil and gas industry; potential revenue associated with prospective energy storage projects; measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources of lithium and/or bromine, the potential extraction of lithium, bromine and other minerals from our Evergreen Unit and other leased acreage, the economic viability thereof, the demand for such resources, the timing and costs of such activities, and the expected revenues, including any royalties, profits and returns from such activities; the timing and success of our bromine production wells and the construction of our bromine processing facility and related engineering activities; projections or forecasts concerning the Company's business activities, including the completion of new projects profitability, estimated earnings, earnings per share, and statements regarding the Company's beliefs, expectations, plans, goals, future events and performance, and other statements that are not purely historical. With respect to the Company's disclosures of measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, including bromine and lithium carbonate equivalent concentrations, it is uncertain if all such resources will ever be economically developed. Investors are cautioned that mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value and further exploration may not result in the estimation of a mineral reserve. Further, there are a number of uncertainties related to processing lithium, which is an inherently difficult process. Therefore, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of our resources can be economically or legally commercialized. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to several risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. With respect to the Company's disclosures regarding the potential joint venture for the Evergreen Unit, it is uncertain about the ability of the parties to successfully negotiate one or more definitive agreements, the future relationship between the parties, and the ability to successfully and economically produce lithium and bromine from the Evergreen Unit. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions; opportunity risks, such as mineral extraction, demand therefor, or realizing industrial and other benefits expected from bromine processing; our ability to develop a bromine processing facility and risks inherent in the construction such facility; the accuracy of our resources report, feasibility study and economic assessment regarding our lithium and bromine acreage equipment supply, equipment defects and/or our ability to timely obtain equipment components; competition from existing or new competitors; risks associated with changes in laws and regulations, or the imposition of economic or trade sanctions affecting international commercial transactions, including legislative, regulatory and policy changes, such as unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls; and other the factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as well as other risks identified from time to time in its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
