• Net loss was $356 million compared to net loss of $208 million in 2024

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

• Total revenue was $437 million compared to third quarter revenue of $403 million
• Net loss was $141 million compared to net loss of $92 million in the third quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $61 million compared to $41 million in the third quarter; 14% of revenue in the fourth quarter compared to 10% of revenue in the third quarter

"Our results in the fourth quarter 2025 improved meaningfully from the third quarter. Total Adjusted EBITDA increased 49% on improvement across both Stimulation Services and Proppant Production. This performance was driven by better than anticipated activity levels, strong operational execution, and the early benefits of our cost and capital management initiatives," stated Matt Wilks, ProFrac's Executive Chairman.

"Harsh winter weather conditions resulted in disruptions to our 2026 start; however, momentum has been building as conditions improved. Looking at the broader completions landscape, activity today is running below levels needed to sustain flat shale production. Additionally, capital discipline across the industry has set the stage for meaningful supply-demand tightening as activity picks up. Lastly, oil prices have strengthened as a result of ongoing supply disruptions due to the conflict in the Middle East, which could necessitate a higher call on US oil production.

"We are pleased to report strong progress on our business optimization plan targeting implemented annualized savings of $100 million at the midpoint by the end of the second quarter of 2026. We are on track with our prior target on capital expenditure savings. Labor-related savings have been fully implemented. Non-labor operating expenses are progressing in line with our plan. Alongside these cost initiatives, our technology differentiation continues to be a key focus," concluded Mr. Wilks.

Outlook

In Stimulation Services, ProFrac expects first quarter 2026 results to be softer than the strong fourth quarter 2025 performance, primarily due to weather-related disruptions in January. The Company's hydraulic fracturing calendar tightened since January with operational momentum expected to build through the quarter.

In Proppant Production, ProFrac expects first quarter volumes to be down quarter-over-quarter due to weather disruptions in January and the impact of operational challenges. Customer demand remains generally consistent with fourth quarter levels. The Company is focused on returning to the operational performance that drove fourth quarter results as it moves through the first quarter and into the second quarter of 2026.

The Company estimates that the January weather disruptions will have an approximately $8 million to $12 million impact on the Company's Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), net cash from operating activities, or GAAP measurements of debt, respectively, 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 our profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are supplemental measures utilized by our management and other users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess our financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team (such as income tax rates). We believe Free Cash Flow is an important supplemental liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions, and Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. We believe Net Debt is an important supplemental measure of indebtedness for management and investors because it provides a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) loss or gain on disposal of assets, net, (v) stock-based compensation, and (vi) other charges, such as certain credit losses, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss or gain on investments, acquisition and integration expenses, litigation expenses and accruals for legal contingencies, acquisition earnout adjustments, severance charges, goodwill impairments, gains on insurance recoveries, transaction costs, third-party supply commitment charges, lease termination costs, and impairments of long-lived assets. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by or (used in) operating activities less investment in property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale of assets.

Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical tool including that Free Cash Flow does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service our indebtedness and Free Cash Flow is not a reliable measure for actual cash available to the Company at any one time. Because Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this Non-GAAP Financial Measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Net Debt is defined as total debt plus unamortized debt discounts, premiums, and issuance costs less cash and cash equivalents. Total debt is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to total debt. Net Debt has important limitations as a measure of indebtedness because it does not represent the total amount of indebtedness of the Company.

The presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. The following tables present a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.
