"The second quarter of 2022 marked a turning point for U.S. Well Services," commented Kyle O'Neill, the Company's President and CEO. "During the second quarter, we observed a meaningful increase in both activity levels and pricing for our services. Although we continue to experience headwinds from inflation and supply chain tightness, the determination and commitment of our team allowed us to post a strong sequential improvement in our financial results."
"Following the end of the second quarter, we began operations with our first newbuild Nyx Clean Fleet® in the Rockies. We believe that U.S. Well Services' proprietary electric frac equipment and technology represents the future of our industry, and we continue to experience strong demand for our electric fleets."
Outlook
The supply of pressure pumping equipment and crews remained tight throughout the second quarter of 2022, as elevated commodity prices created increased demand for completion services. We currently expect to experience sustained high levels of demand for pressure pumping fleets beyond 2022, and believe U.S. Well Services' fleets are well positioned to benefit from the improved market backdrop given the fuel cost savings, emissions reductions and HSE benefits associated with electric fracturing fleets.

Costs of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the second quarter of 2022 increased to

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes, however, that certain non-GAAP performance measures allow external users of its consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against the Company's peers without regard to the Company's financing methods or capital structure. Additionally, the Company believes the use of certain non-GAAP measures highlights trends in the Company's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. The Company's management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow external users of its consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate the Company's operating performance, compare the results of its operations from period to period and against the Company's peers without regard to the Company's financing methods or capital structure and because it highlights trends in the Company's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures of its performance that are frequently used by others in evaluating companies in its industry. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures that the Company presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the following: impairments; litigation settlement; (gain) loss on disposal of assets; change in fair value of warrant liabilities; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; share-based compensation; and other items that the Company believes to be non-recurring in nature. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.
