Scott Bender, President and CEO of Cactus, commented, “We were pleased with our strong performance during the second quarter. Revenue growth during the period outpaced the change in the domestic rig count while margin improvement was robust across all business lines. Product revenue generated per U.S. land rig followed⁽¹⁾ was up over ten percent sequentially. In our Rental business line, revenue and margins continued their upward trajectory. In Field Service, steps taken during the second quarter to offset inflationary pressures impacting labor and transportation contributed to significant margin improvement.

“For the third quarter, we anticipate further revenue growth across our various business lines. Of note, the Company’s first Product sales into South America and the Middle East are expected to be recognized in the third quarter. We remain well positioned in our Rental business, as customers continue to recognize the value of our products and execution.”

Mr. Bender concluded, “Second quarter results demonstrated the emphasis we place on margins and returns. Management will continue to run the business with these values in mind. Additionally, we continue to focus on increasing the quality of our customer base in an industry where availability of resources, particularly labor, is tight. Looking forward, a continued focus on our supply chain leaves us well positioned to support additional activity gains. Finally, we are witnessing encouraging signs that the overall rate of cost inflation may be moderating.”

Cactus, Inc. – Supplemental Information Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted net income, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted and adjusted net income margin (unaudited)
Adjusted net income, diluted earnings per share, as adjusted and adjusted net income margin are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP but they are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Cactus defines adjusted net income as net income assuming Cactus, Inc. held all units in Cactus LLC, its operating subsidiary, at the beginning of the period, with the resulting additional income tax expense related to the incremental income attributable to Cactus, Inc. Adjusted net income also includes certain other adjustments described below. Cactus defines diluted earnings per share, as adjusted as Adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding, as adjusted. Cactus defines Adjusted net income margin as Adjusted net income divided by total revenue. The Company believes this supplemental information is useful for evaluating performance period over period.

Cactus, Inc. – Supplemental Information Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (unaudited)
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP but are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Cactus defines EBITDA as net income excluding net interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization. Cactus defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the other items outlined below.
Cactus management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow management to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to financing methods or capital structure, or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Cactus defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Cactus presents this supplemental information because it believes it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.

Cactus, Inc. – Supplemental Information Estimated Market Share (unaudited)
Market share represents the average number of active U.S. onshore rigs Cactus followed (which Cactus defines as the number of active U.S. onshore drilling rigs to which it was the primary provider of wellhead products and corresponding services during drilling) as of mid-month for each of the three months in the applicable quarter divided by the Baker Hughes U.S. onshore rig count quarterly average. Cactus believes that comparing the total number of active U.S. onshore rigs to which it was providing its products and services at a given time to the number of active U.S. onshore rigs during the same period provides Cactus with a reasonable approximation of its market share with respect to wellhead products sold and the corresponding services it provides.
