PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. 1

(to Prospectus dated August 8, 2022)

ProFrac Holding Corp.

Up to 1,545,575 shares of Class A common stock

 

 

This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated August 8, 2022 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-266465). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in (i) our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2022 (the “Current Report”) and (ii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2022 (the “Quarterly Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report and the Quarterly Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the resale by the selling stockholders identified in the Prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 1,545,575 shares of Class A common stock of ProFrac Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of the shares of our Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholders.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “PFHC.” The last reported sales price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on September 6, 2022 was $18.99 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and as such, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for the Prospectus and future filings. See “Risk Factors” and “Summary—Emerging Growth Company” in the Prospectus.

 

 

Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 36 of the Prospectus to read about factors you should consider before buying shares of our Class A common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus supplement is September 6, 2022.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed by ProFrac Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in its Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed on July 29, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “July Form 8-K”), the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) dated as of March 4, 2022, by and among ProFrac Holdings LLC (the predecessor of the Company), ProFrac Holdings II LLC, as borrower (the “Term Loan Borrower”), the guarantors party thereto and each of the lenders party thereto, and Piper Sandler Finance LLC, as the agent and collateral agent for the lenders (the Term Loan Agreement as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the “Amended Term Loan Agreement”). The material terms of the Amended Term Loan Agreement are described in the July Form 8-K and such description is incorporated by reference herein.

On August 25, 2022, the Term Loan Borrower requested $80,000,000 of Delayed Draw Term Loans (as such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) (the “September Delayed Draw Term Loan”) under the Amended Term Loan Agreement. On September 1, 2022, certain of the existing lenders under the Amended Term Loan Agreement funded the September Delayed Draw Term Loan. After giving effect to the funding of the September Delayed Draw Term Loan and solely to the extent that the Term Loan Borrower is able to obtain corresponding commitments from the existing lenders and/or new lenders, the Term Loan Borrower may request an additional $20,000,000 of Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Amended Term Loan Agreement subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include the words “may,” “could,” “plan,” “project,” “budget,” “predict,” “pursue,” “target,” “seek,” “objective,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” or similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements include statements about our business strategy, our industry, our future profitability, our expected capital expenditures and the impact of such expenditures on our performance, the costs of being a publicly traded corporation and our capital programs.

A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:

 

   

uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of an economic recovery in the United States and elsewhere, which in turn will likely affect demand for crude oil and natural gas and therefore the demand for our services;

 

   

the level of production of crude oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons and the resultant market prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and other hydrocarbons;

 

   

the severity and duration of world health events, including the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, related economic repercussions and the resulting severe disruption in the oil and gas industry and negative impact on demand for oil and gas, which has and may continue to negatively impact our business;

 

   

a further decline or future decline in domestic spending by the onshore oil and natural gas industry;

 

   

actions by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Counties, Russia and other oil-producing countries with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels;

 

   

the political environment in oil and natural gas producing regions, including uncertainty or instability resulting from civil disorder, terrorism or war, such as the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which may negatively impact our operating results;

 

   

changes in general economic and geopolitical conditions;

 

   

competitive conditions in our industry;

 

   

changes in the long-term supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;

 

   

actions taken by our customers, competitors and third-party operators;

 

   

a decline in demand for proppant;

 

   

our ability to obtain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and third parties, and the effects of or changes to U.S. government regulation;

 

   

changes in the availability and cost of capital;

 

   

our ability to successfully implement our business plan;

 

   

large or multiple customer defaults, including defaults resulting from actual or potential insolvencies;

 

   

the effects of consolidation on our customers or competitors;

 

   

the price and availability of debt and equity financing (including changes in interest rates);

 

   

our ability to complete growth projects on time and on budget;

 

   

our ability to finance, consummate, integrate and realize the benefits expected from our recently completed and pending acquisitions, including any related synergies;

other factors discussed in this report.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs at the time they are made, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the factors described in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus, dated May 12, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on May 16, 2022 in connection with our initial public offering, and the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus, dated August 8, 2022, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on August 8, 2022 in connection with the resale of our Class A common stock by the selling shareholders named therein, any of which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We have also made certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our pending acquisition of U.S. Well Services, Inc. described elsewhere in this report, and have set forth in this report under Part II, Item 1A, certain risk factors relating to this acquisition, including the capital we will need to consummate the acquisition, that could adversely affect our business and prospects. The risks included above and in this report and in our other filings with the SEC are not exhaustive. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such forward-looking statement is based.

ProFrac Holding Corp

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted)

(unaudited)

1. Organization and description of business

ProFrac Holding Corp. (“ProFrac Corp.”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including ProFrac Holdings, LLC (“ProFrac LLC”), is a vertically integrated and innovation-driven energy services company providing hydraulic fracturing, completion services and other complementary products and services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production (“E&P”) of North American unconventional oil and natural gas resources. The Company operates in three business segments: stimulation services, manufacturing, and proppant production.

Company Formation

ProFrac Corp. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on August 17, 2021, to become a holding corporation for ProFrac LLC and its subsidiaries upon completion of a corporate reorganization in conjunction with a planned initial public offering (“IPO”). On May 12, 2022, ProFrac Corp. completed its IPO and corporate reorganization and became the managing member of ProFrac LLC.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein are those of ProFrac Corp. subsequent to the corporate reorganization on May 12, 2022, and ProFrac LLC before that date. In these notes to the consolidated financial statements, ProFrac Corp. and ProFrac LLC together are also referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” and ProFrac LLC is also referred to as “ProFrac Predecessor.” For all periods presented, the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the controlled subsidiaries of ProFrac LLC, which include Best Pump & Flow LP (“Best Flow”) and Alpine Silica, LLC (“Alpine”).

Prior to December 21, 2021, Dan Wilks and Farris Wilks (or entities they control) (collectively, the “Wilks”) held a controlling interest in each of ProFrac LLC, Best Flow and Alpine. Historical periods for ProFrac Predecessor had been presented on a consolidated and combined basis given the common control ownership by the Wilks. On December 21, 2021, all of the then-outstanding membership interests in Best Flow and Alpine were contributed to ProFrac LLC in exchange for membership interests in ProFrac LLC. Accordingly, the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been retrospectively adjusted to present the operations of ProFrac LLC, Best Flow and Alpine on a combined basis. The acquisitions of Best Flow and Alpine have been accounted for in a manner consistent with the pooling of interest method of accounting, as the transaction was a combination of entities under common control. Under this method of accounting, the statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows have been adjusted to include all activities of the commonly controlled groups for all periods in which common control existed.

Initial Public Offering

On May 12, 2022, ProFrac Corp. completed its IPO of 16,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. On June 6, 2022, an over-allotment option was exercised resulting in an additional 2,228,153 shares of Class A Common Stock being priced at $18.00 per share. The IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option generated combined net proceeds of $301.7 million, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. The Company used $72.9 million of the net proceeds to redeem the membership ownership interests from the then-existing owners of THRC FTSI Related Equity (as described in Note 14 – Acquisitions and investments) and contributed the remaining proceeds to ProFrac Holdings, LLC. The Company used the remaining proceeds (i) to pay down $143.8 million of the outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Facility (as defined herein) (ii) to fully pay the $22.0 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Backstop Note (as defined herein) (iii) pay down $22.0 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Closing Date Note (as defined herein) (iv) to pay down $20.8 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Equify Bridge Note (as defined herein) and (v) with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate uses and additional repayment of debt.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

ProFrac Corp’s only material asset is an equity interest consisting of units representing limited liability company interests in ProFrac LLC (“PFH Units”). As the sole managing member of ProFrac LLC, ProFrac Corp. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of ProFrac LLC and conducts its business through ProFrac LLC and its subsidiaries. As a result, ProFrac Corp. consolidates the financial results of ProFrac LLC and its subsidiaries and reports a noncontrolling interest related to the portion of PFH Units not owned by ProFrac Corp., which reduces net income attributable to holders of ProFrac Corp.’s Class A common stock. The holders of PFH Units not owned by ProFrac Corp. also hold shares of ProFrac Corp.’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) such that a single share of Class B Common Stock is issued for each PFH Unit not owned by ProFrac Corp.

The holders of PFH Units not owned by ProFrac Corp. may redeem all or a portion of their PFH Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock, for either shares of Class A Common Stock or an approximately equivalent amount of cash, at the election of the Company. In connection with the exercise of such redemption, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock will be cancelled. The redemption election is not considered to be within the control of the Company because the holders of Class B Common Stock and their affiliates control the Company through direct representation on ProFrac Corp.’s Board of Directors. As a result, we present the noncontrolling interests in ProFrac LLC as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity.

From January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, we recorded adjustments to the value of our redeemable noncontrolling interests as shown below:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included within the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Operating results for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2021, balance sheet information has been derived from the 2021 audited financial statements of ProFrac Predecessor.

Table of Contents

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and (2) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that we determine an arrangement represents a lease, we classify that lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. We capitalize operating and finance leases on our consolidated balance sheets through a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. See Note 12 – Leases for additional information.

Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s products and services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies performance obligations by transferring control over a service or product to a customer. Payment terms are specified in each customer agreement and are typically a specific number of days following satisfaction of the performance obligation. The following are descriptions of the principal activities of each reportable segment from which the Company generates its revenue.

Stimulation services. We generate revenue through the provision of hydraulic fracturing services, which involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into formations to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of wellbores. Our contracts with customers are short term in nature, typically less than four weeks, and have a single performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. Once a stage has been completed, a field ticket is created which includes charges for services performed and any inputs consumed during the service. The signing of the field ticket by a customer representative represents their acceptance of the service and agreement to the amounts to which the Company has the right to invoice and recognize as revenue. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed, upon receipt of a signed field ticket, appropriately depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time.

Manufacturing. We generate revenue through sales of equipment used to perform oilfield services. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized at the point-in-time that control of goods are transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment from our manufacturing facility. Payment terms are specified in each customer agreement and are typically a specific number of days following satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Proppant production. We generate revenue through the sale of frac sand to oilfield service providers and E&P companies. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized at the point-in-time that control of the product is transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment from our facility. We charge our customers on a per-ton basis at current market prices. Payment terms are specified in each customer agreement and are typically a specific number of days following satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are therefore excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess, if any, of the acquisition price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. For significant acquisitions, we utilize third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values for certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement of these fair values requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions which are inherently uncertain.

Adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are made until we obtain all relevant information regarding the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date (the “measurement period”), not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition. We recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which we determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts we would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

We have acquired goodwill related to business acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. We review our goodwill on an annual basis, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may exceed its fair value. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, we recognize an impairment loss for this difference.

Variable Interest Entities

We evaluate our ownership, contractual and other interest in entities to determine if they are variable interest entities (“VIE”). We evaluate whether we have a variable interest in those entities and the nature and extent of those interests. Based on our evaluation, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the entity in our financial statements.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date. We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases of categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1: The use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1, inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. At June 30, 2022, we had no Level 2 measurements.

 

Level 3: The use of significant unobservable inputs that typically require the use of management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. See Note 16 — Fair Value of Financial Interests for more information on our investments using Level 3 measurements.

Our current assets and liabilities contain financial instruments, the most significant of which are trade accounts receivable and payable. We believe the carrying value of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including: (i) the short-term duration of the instruments and (ii) our historical incurrence of and expectations of future bad debt expense. The book value of our floating rate debt approximates fair value because of its floating rate structure.

Income taxes

Before May 12, 2022, the ProFrac Predecessor entities were organized as limited liability companies or a limited partnership and were treated as either a disregarded entity or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whereby the ordinary business income or loss and certain deductions were passed-through and reported on the members’ income tax returns. As such, the Company was not required to account for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements. Certain state income-based taxes are imposed on the Company which are reflected as income tax expense or benefit in historical periods.

In connection with the IPO in May 2022, the Company reorganized and ProFrac LLC became partially owned by ProFrac Corp., a U.S. Internal Revenue Code Subchapter C corporation (“C-Corporation”). ProFrac Corp. is a taxable entity and is required to account for income taxes under the asset and liability method for periods subsequent to May 12, 2022.

Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Recently adopted accounting standards

On January 1, 2022, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) for “Leases,” which amended existing guidance to require lessees to recognize liabilities and ROU assets on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. We adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2022 using the transition method that allows a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

Table of Contents

We have completed our process to implement this standard, and we have designed processes and internal controls necessary for adoption of this standard. We have made policy elections to (i) not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes, (ii) not separate non-lease components from lease components for all of our existing asset classes, (iii) apply the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, lease classification for any expired or existing leases and initial direct costs for existing leases and (iv) apply the practical expedient to apply hindsight in estimating lease term and impairment.

The impact of applying this standard is not expected to significantly impact our results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2022, we recognized ROU assets and liabilities of approximately $35.8 million from operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 12—Leases for additional disclosures related to our adoption this accounting standards update.

New accounting standards to be adopted

We have not yet implemented FASB ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (“CECL”), which requires recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models previously used under GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard also applies to financial assets arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable.

Implementation is currently required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not believe implementation will have a material impact on its financial statements.

We have not yet implemented FASB ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 under GAAP. The new guidance also improves the application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Related party debt agreements

Old ABL Credit Facility

On March 14, 2018, ProFrac LLC entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Old ABL Credit Facility”), with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Old ABL Credit Facility had a maturity date of March 14, 2023.

LIBOR borrowings under the Old ABL Credit Facility bore interest at the greater of LIBOR or 0.00%, plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, depending on facility utilization. The interest rate was 2.75% as of December 31, 2021.

 

16


Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2021, the borrowing base was $146.2 million, therefore maximum availability under the Old ABL Credit Facility was the facility maximum of $105.0 million. There were $69.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $3.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $32.9 million of availability under the Old Credit Facility ABL.

On March 4, 2022, the Old ABL Credit Facility was refinanced and replaced with the New ABL Credit Facility (as described below).

Old Term Loan

On September 7, 2018, ProFrac LLC entered into a $180.0 million term loan agreement (“Old Term Loan”), which matures on September 15, 2023, with a group of lenders with Barclays Bank, PLC as administrative agent. Principal payments are due in quarterly installments, however due to prepayments made to date, there will be no required minimum amortization (other than excess cash flow prepayments) before termination of the Old Term Loan. Excess cash flow is calculated quarterly to determine any additional minimum prepayments. On June 24, 2021, ProFrac LLC and its Old Term Loan lenders reached an agreement to expand the facility by $40.0 million.

The Old Term Loan, as amended, requires minimum excess cash flow prepayments as follows, each due approximately 55 days after period-end: $0.0 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2021 through and including December 31, 2021, and $5.0 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022 through and including June 30, 2023.

LIBOR borrowings under the Old Term Loan bear interest at the greater of LIBOR or 1.25%, plus a margin of 6.25% to 8.50%, depending on the total net leverage ratio as defined under the Old Term Loan. The interest rate was 9.75% as of December 31, 2021.

The Old Term Loan contained certain restrictive covenants, including a financial covenant which required ProFrac LLC to maintain a total net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of no greater than 2.25:1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 through and including March 31, 2020, 3.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through and including March 31, 2021, 3.00:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended June 31, 2021, 2.75:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, 2.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021, and 2.00:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 and thereafter. ProFrac LLC was in compliance with all required covenants as of December 31, 2021.

In February 2022, ProFrac and its Old Term Loan lenders entered into an agreement to amend the Old Term Loan. The amendment expanded the facility by $48.0 million.

On March 4, 2022, the Old Term Loan was extinguished resulting in loss on debt extinguishment of $3.9 million.

First Financial Loan

On July 22, 2020, ProFrac LLC entered into a $35.0 million loan agreement with First Financial Bank, N.A. which had a maturity of July 22, 2025 (“Main Street Loan”). In August 2021, the loan agreement was amended to remove the covenants in place prior to the amendment. As amended, the Main Street Loan contained certain restrictive covenants which required ProFrac LLC to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00:1.00, and a Maximum Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00. Additionally, the Main Street Loan restricted the payment of distributions or dividends, other than for the payment of taxes.

On December 22, 2021, the Main Street Loan had a balance of $32.2 million. The Main Street Loan was extinguished with a cash payment of $2.2 million and the remainder refinanced with a $30.0 million loan with First Financial Bank, N.A. (“First Financial Loan”).

The First Financial Loan has a maturity date of January 1, 2024 with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%, and the loan is to be repaid by equal payments of principal and interest beginning in February 2022. The First Financial Loan contains certain restricted covenants which require the Company to maintain a fixed charge ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 and a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2022.

New ABL Credit Facility

On March 4, 2022, ProFrac LLC, ProFrac Holdings II, LLC (“ProFrac II LLC”), as borrower (in such capacity, the “ABL Borrower”), and certain of the ABL Borrower’s wholly owned subsidiaries as obligors, entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “New ABL Credit Facility”), with a group of lenders with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The New ABL Credit Facility initially provided for an asset-based revolving credit facility with a borrowing base and lender commitments of $100.0 million. On April 8, 2022, the New ABL Credit Facility was amended to increase the borrowing base and lender commitments to $200.0 million. The New ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base composed of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory less customary reserves, as redetermined monthly. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum availability under the New ABL Credit Facility was the aggregate lender commitments of $200.0 million with $143.4 million of borrowings outstanding and $9.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in approximately $47.4 million of remaining availability. The New ABL Credit Facility matures on the earlier of (i) March 4, 2027 and (ii) 91 days prior to the stated maturity of any material indebtedness (other than the First Financial Loan).

Borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to average historical availability, and the ABL Borrower may elect for loans to be based on either an Adjusted Term SOFR or a base rate, plus the applicable margin. The interest rate under the New ABL Credit Facility for (a) Adjusted Term SOFR is the applicable margin plus the fluctuating per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (with an Adjusted Term SOFR Floor of 0.00%); and (b) Base Rate Loans are the applicable margin plus the fluctuating per annum rate equal to the greatest of the Prime Rate in effect on such day, or the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2% of 1% and the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month Interest Period as published two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), plus 1.0%. The applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR Loans ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% and for Base Rate Loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.00%, depending on the average daily availability over the last three months under the New ABL Credit Facility. The New ABL Credit Facility bears an unused line fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375%, depending on the average daily availability over the last three months payable quarterly in arrears. The New ABL Credit Facility also bears customary letter of credit fees. The interest rate was 5.50% as of June 30, 2022.

The New ABL Credit Facility is subject to customary mandatory prepayments, including a mandatory prepayment if the aggregate unpaid principal balance of revolving loans, agent advances, swingline borrowings, unreimbursed drawings under letters of credit and the undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit exceeds at any time the lesser of (x) the then applicable borrowing base and (y) the then total effective commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility, in an amount equal to such excess. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period (defined in the New ABL Credit Facility as (a) any period commencing upon the date that availability shall have been less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Maximum Credit (which is the lesser of the maximum revolver amount in effect at such time and the borrowing base at such time) and (ii) $10.0 million for a period of five consecutive business days and continuing until the date on which availability shall have been at least the greater of (y) 12.5% of the Maximum Credit and (z) $10.0 million for 20 consecutive calendar days or (b) any period commencing on the occurrence of certain specified events of default, and continuing during the period that such specified event of default shall be continuing).

The New ABL Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, subject to customary exceptions, limitations on indebtedness, dividends, distributions and certain other payments, investments, acquisitions, prepayments of specified junior indebtedness, amendments of specified junior indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, liens, restrictive agreements, sale and leaseback transactions, changes in fiscal periods and changes in line of business.

We are required by the New ABL Credit Facility to maintain minimum liquidity of $5.0 million at all times. Additionally, when availability is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the maximum credit (which is the lesser of the maximum revolver amount in effect at such time and the borrowing base at such time) and (ii) $10.0 million and continuing until such time as availability has been in excess of such threshold for a period of 20 consecutive calendar days, we are required by the New ABL Credit Facility to maintain a springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New ABL Credit Facility) of at least 1.0 to 1.0, which is tested quarterly during such period. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no existing defaults or events of default related to the New ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.

On July 25, 2022, the New ABL Credit Facility was amended to add an uncommitted $100.0 million incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”), under the terms of which existing lenders can make additional loans (in their sole discretion) under, or new lenders can join, the Incremental Facility and increase the potential size of the New ABL Credit Facility from $200 million to $300 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. All other terms and conditions of the New ABL Credit Facility remained substantially unchanged. See Note 19 – Subsequent Events.

New Term Loan Credit Facility

On March 4, 2022, ProFrac LLC, ProFrac II, LLC, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Term Loan Borrower”), and certain of the Term Loan Borrower’s wholly owned subsidiaries as obligors, entered into a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “New Term Loan Credit Facility”), with Piper Sandler Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The New Term Loan Credit Facility provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the New Term Loan Facility was paid down by $143.8 million with net proceeds from the IPO and an additional $3.8 million in scheduled payments. As of June 30, 2022, the Term Loan Borrower had approximately $302.4 million outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Facility. The New Term Loan Credit Facility matures on March 4, 2025.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility is guaranteed by ProFrac LLC and all of the Term Loan Borrower’s material existing subsidiaries and certain direct and indirect future U.S. restricted subsidiaries of the Term Loan Borrower. The New Term Loan Credit Facility is secured by a lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of each such guarantor’s assets.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to quarterly amortization beginning in June 2022, though any excess cash flow payments, reduce the required amortization. Additionally, the New Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to a quarterly mandatory prepayment beginning for the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022, in an amount equal to the Applicable ECF Percentage (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility). The Applicable ECF Percentage ranges from 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) to 25% of Excess Cash Flow depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter.

Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Facility are permitted at any time, in specified minimum principal amounts, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of SOFR Rate Loans other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Between March 4, 2022 and March 4, 2023, certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Credit Facility are subject to a prepayment premium of 3.00% (or, in the case of any IPO Prepayment (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility), 2.00%). Between March 5, 2023 and March 4, 2024, certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Credit Facility are subject to a 2.00% prepayment premium. After March 4, 2024, but prior to the Stated Termination Date (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Credit Facility are subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium. No payment or prepayment premium shall be due on account of any payments or prepayments made on the Stated Termination Date.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, subject to customary exceptions, limitations on indebtedness, dividends, distributions and certain other payments, investments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, prepayments of specified junior indebtedness, amendments of specified junior indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, liens, restrictive agreements, changes in fiscal periods and changes in line of business.

We are required by the New Term Loan Credit Facility to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) (i) of no more than 2.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2022, (ii) of no more than 1.55 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, and (iii) of no more than 1.25 for each fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2023 and thereafter.

We are required by the New Term Loan Credit Facility to maintain minimum liquidity of $30.0 million at all times.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all loans to be immediately due and payable. Some events of default require an automatic termination of the loans and become immediately due and payable.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no defaults or events of default related to the New Term Loan Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2022.

On July 25, 2022, the New Term Loan Facility was amended to increase the size of the New Term Loan Facility by $150.0 million with an uncommitted option to obtain commitments for a potential additional $100.0 million of delayed draw loans before the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Merger (as defined herein) and (ii) March 31, 2023. The maturity date of the New Term Loan Facility remains the same at March 4, 2025. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the increased New Term Loan Facility to fund the acquisition of Monahans (as defined herein) and anticipates using the remainder of the proceeds and operating cash to facilitate the Merger, pay outstanding debt under the New ABL Credit Facility and/or for other general corporate purposes. See Note 19 – Subsequent Events.

8. Income taxes

Before May 12, 2022, the ProFrac Predecessor entities were organized as limited liability companies or a limited partnership and were treated as either a disregarded entity or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whereby the ordinary business income or loss and certain deductions were passed-through and reported on the members’ income tax returns. As such, the Company was not required to account for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements. Certain state income-based taxes are imposed on the Company which are reflected as income tax expense or benefit in historical periods. In connection with the IPO in May 2022, the Company reorganized and ProFrac LLC became partially owned by ProFrac Corp., a C-Corporation. ProFrac Corp. is a taxable entity and is required to account for income taxes under the asset and liability method for periods subsequent to May 12, 2022.

 

21


Table of Contents

During the first six months of 2022, ProFrac LLC and its members completed the acquisition of FTSI, a C-Corporation. Through a series of transactions, ProFrac LLC obtained ownership of all of the assets and liabilities of FTSI, but the FTSI C-Corporation legal entity was owned by the ProFrac LLC members. In connection with the IPO, the FTSI C-Corporation legal entity merged with a subsidiary of ProFrac Corp., which inherited the tax attributes of the FTSI legal entity.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $158.3 million of net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets are driven by the outside basis difference between tax and GAAP in the Company’s outside basis in ProFrac LLC (including $22.7 million subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement), generated by both the FTSI transaction and the IPO. We have recorded a valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax assets based on our assessment that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, with the exception of certain deferred tax assets that are expected to be utilized in the 2022 tax year of approximately $4.1 million. This valuation allowance assessment is based on the cumulative losses incurred by the Company in recent years. A change in our assessment could cause a decrease to the valuation allowance, which could materially impact our results of operations.

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations is expected to be 4.9% for tax year 2022. After consideration of a 2.4% net state tax rate (inclusive of the Texas Margin tax), the majority of the remaining difference between the federal corporate income tax rate of 21% and our effective tax rate is related to the income that is earned within the financial statement consolidated group that is not subject to tax within the financial statement consolidated group. This is due to the Company not being subject to tax prior to IPO, as well as the amount of post-IPO income that is attributable to the Class B shareholders. As such, the Company’s income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is $4.9 million.

ProFrac LLC is obligated to make cash distributions to PFH Unit holders to fund their respective income tax liabilities relating to their share of the income of ProFrac LLC. At June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a liability for accrued distributions of $15.6 million to be made to redeemable noncontrolling interest holders to fund their estimated tax payments.

9. Tax receivable agreement

In connection with our IPO, ProFrac Corp. entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) with certain PFH Unit holders (the “TRA Holders”). The TRA generally provides for payment by ProFrac Corp. to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) that ProFrac Corp. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of ProFrac Corp.’s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder’s PFH Units in connection with the IPO or the exercise of the Redemption Right (as defined in the TRA) or the Call Right (as defined in the TRA), and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by ProFrac Corp. as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments ProFrac Corp. makes under the TRA. ProFrac Corp. will be dependent on ProFrac LLC to make distributions to ProFrac Corp. in an amount sufficient to cover ProFrac Corp.’s obligations under the TRA. ProFrac Corp. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of any actual net cash tax savings. The payment obligations under the TRA are ProFrac Corp.’s obligations and not obligations of ProFrac LLC, and we expect that the payments required to be made under the TRA could be substantial.

The term of the TRA commenced upon the completion of the IPO and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA have been utilized or expired, unless we experience a Change of Control (as defined in the TRA, which includes certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations) or the TRA otherwise terminates early (at our election or as a result of our breach or the commencement of bankruptcy or similar proceedings by or against us) and ProFrac Corp. makes the termination payments specified in the TRA in connection with such Change of Control or other early termination. In the event that the TRA is not terminated, the payments under the TRA could commence in 2023 and will continue for 15 years after the date of the last redemption of the PFH Units.

Payments will generally be made under the TRA as we realize actual cash tax savings from the tax benefits covered by the TRA. However, if we experience a Change of Control or the TRA otherwise terminates early, ProFrac Corp.’s obligations under the TRA would accelerate and ProFrac Corp. would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by it under the TRA. We estimate that such an immediate payment could range up to more the $500 million. There can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy our obligations under the TRA.

Table of Contents

Estimating the amount and timing of payments that may become due under the TRA is by its nature imprecise. For purposes of the TRA, net cash tax savings generally are calculated by comparing ProFrac Corp.’s actual tax liability (determined by using the actual applicable U.S. federal income tax rate and an assumed combined state and local income and franchise tax rate) to the amount ProFrac Corp. would have been required to pay had it not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the TRA. The actual increases in tax basis covered by the TRA, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending on a number of factors, including the timing of any redemption of PFH Units, the price of ProFrac Corp.’s Class A Common Stock at the time of each redemption, the extent to which such redemptions are taxable transactions, the amount of the redeeming PFH Unit holder’s tax basis in its PFH Units at the time of the relevant redemption, the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the increase in tax basis, the amount and timing of taxable income we generate in the future, the U.S. federal income tax rates then applicable, and the portion of ProFrac Corp.’s payments under the TRA that constitute imputed interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis.

We account for amounts payable under the TRA when we determine that a liability is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. At June 30, 2022, the liability from the TRA was $3.4 million.

11. Stock-based compensation

Stock-based Compensation Related to Deemed Contributions

In connection with the Company’s IPO, our majority shareholders, Farris Wilks (“Farris”) and Dan Wilks (“Dan”) (together with certain family members or entities they control), sold PFH Units representing approximately 1% of the equity interest in ProFrac LLC to an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Ladd Wilks (“Ladd”), and our Executive Chairman, Matt Wilks (“Matt”), respectively. These equity interests in ProFrac LLC entitled each of Ladd and Matt to 1,220,978 shares of Class B common stock in ProFrac Corp. These units were sold in exchange for promissory notes. While some of the documentation relating to these transfers was subject to completion, we concluded that both transactions were consummated in connection with the Company’s IPO and, for accounting purposes, should be treated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, as deemed contributions to the Company by Farris and Dan and grants of stock-based compensation to Ladd and Matt by the Company similar to stock options. As no future service period was required and because the promissory notes are prepayable at any time, all related stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the second quarter of 2022. The stock-based compensation expense was $33.7 million using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with an average contractual term of 16.5 years, a volatility rate of 64%, and a 0% dividend yield.

Also in connection with the IPO, Farris engaged in estate planning that may result, subject to other terms and conditions, in additional shares being transferred by Farris to Ladd if the Company’s total market capitalization increases to certain target levels within the next five years, which resulted in a performance award being deemed granted by the Company to Ladd. We concluded that this arrangement should be treated, for accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, as a deemed contribution to the Company by a related party and the grant of stock compensation with market conditions to Ladd by the Company.

Table of Contents

Also at the time of the IPO, a performance award was granted which will result in additional shares being transferred if the Company’s total market capitalization increases to certain target levels within the next five years, subject to other terms and conditions. We concluded that this arrangement should be treated, for accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, as a deemed contribution to the Company by a related party and the grant of stock compensation with market conditions by the Company.

The grant date fair value of this award was estimated to be $45.2 million and will be recognized over the estimated derived service period of approximately one year. The grant date fair value and the derived service period of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which incorporates the possibility that the market capitalization targets may not be satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation is affected by a number of variables, including the fair value of our underlying common shares ($18.00 at grant date), the expected common share price volatility over the expected term (79.2%), the expected dividend yield of our common shares over the expected term (0.0%), the risk-free interest rates over the expected term (2.86%), and the performance period of the award (five years).

The derived service period for the award was determined based on the median vesting time for the simulations that achieved the vesting hurdle. Stock-based compensation expense associated with this award will be recognized over the earlier of (i) the derived service period and (ii) the date on which the market condition is satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense of $5.1 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2022. At June 30, 2022, there was $40.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to this award, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

2022 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan

In May 2022, the Company adopted the ProFrac Holding Corp. 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”) to attract and retain officers, employees, directors, and other key personnel and to provide those persons incentives and awards for performance. The 2022 Plan originally allocated 3,121 thousand shares of our Class A Common Stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, or other stock-based awards. As of June 30, 2022, up to approximately 2,611 thousand shares were available for future grants under the 2022 Plan.

On May 24, 2022, the Company issued 509 thousand RSUs, which had a grant date fair value of $9.1 million. The RSUs were valued at $17.90 per share, the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Awards granted vest from one to three years from the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense for the Company in the second quarter of 2022 for these RSUs was $0.9 million. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of RSUs granted was $17.90. The fair value of RSUs vested in the second quarter of 2022 was zero. At June 30, 2022, there was $8.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

12. Leases

Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted the new lease accounting guidance under ASC Topic 842, Leases. The details of the significant changes to our accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the new lease standard are set out below. We adopted the standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method; accordingly, the comparative information as of December 31, 2021, has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the previous lease standard. Under the new standard, assets and liabilities that arise from all leases are required to be recognized on the balance sheet for lessees. Previously, only capital leases, which are now referred to as finance leases, were recorded on the balance sheet. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of approximately $35.8 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Beginning January 1, 2022, for all leases with a term in excess of 12 months, we recognized a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and right-of-use asset representing our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For operating leases, lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and accretion of the lease liability, while finance leases (of which we have none) include both an operating expense and an interest expense component. For all leases with a term of 12 months or less, we elected the practical expedient to not recognize lease assets and liabilities. We recognize lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We are a lessee for several operating leases, related primarily to real estate and light duty vehicles. The majority of our operating leases have remaining lease terms of 10 years or less. None of our leases include options to extend the leases, nor do any include options to terminate the leases. The accounting for leases may require judgment, which includes determining the incremental borrowing rates to utilize in our net present value calculation of lease payments for lease agreements which do not provide an implicit rate.

Table of Contents

In connection with the completion of the FTSI acquisition, FTSI conveyed to Wilks Development, LLC, an affiliate of ProFrac LLC, substantially all of FTSI’s owned real property, consisting primarily of FTSI’s hydraulic fracturing equipment manufacturing facilities, in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $44.4 million (the “FTSI Sale Leaseback”). We will lease such real property from Wilks Development, LLC in exchange for aggregate monthly lease payments of $51.6 million through March 2032. The cash consideration received was $3.7 million less than the carrying value of these assets. Because this sale was to an affiliate under common control, we accounted for the $3.7 million as an equity transaction recorded as a deemed distribution within our consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Our leasing activities primarily consist of operating leases for administrative offices, manufacturing and maintenance facilities along with some light duty vehicles. We do not lease any equipment on a long-term basis.

Additionally, in January and February of 2021, ProFrac LLC executed two agreements with one of ProFrac LLC’s members for the sale of certain lots of equipment, in exchange for $8.7 million in cash, an amount that approximates the net book value of the assets. Under these agreements, for any assets subsequently resold by the member, ProFrac LLC will reimburse the member for a certain percentage of the net loss, or conversely be entitled to a certain percentage of the net gain, at rates established in the agreements. As of June 30, 2022, the majority of the assets have been sold by the member, and ProFrac LLC’s remaining liability of approximately $0.2 million for assets that have not been resold has been recorded.

On February 4, 2022, THRC Holdings entered into a Rights Agreement with Encantor Properties LP, one of the sellers from whom the Company purchased the Munger Ranch property, under which the related party was assigned rights to $8.1 million of the $30.0 million in consideration related to the Munger purchase. As part of the IPO completed in May 2022, the sellers of Munger Ranch were issued 2,114,273 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the $30.0 million consideration related to the Munger Ranch purchase.

14. Acquisitions and investments

FTS International, Inc.

On March 4, 2022, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of FTSI for a purchase price of $405.7 million, consisting of cash consideration of $332.8 million, and THRC Holdings’ equity interest of $72.9 million (“THRC FTSI Related Equity”).

Immediately following the closing of the cash acquisition pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2021, by and among FTSI, ProFrac LLC and ProFrac Acquisitions, Inc. (the “FTSI Merger Agreement”), ProFrac LLC distributed the 80.5% of the FTSI equity it acquired in such merger to Farris Wilks and THRC Holdings in a manner that resulted in each of them owning 50% of FTSI (the “FTSI Distribution”), with THRC Holdings receiving a smaller share of the FTSI Distribution and instead retaining certain preferred equity in ProFrac LLC in lieu of its redemption in connection with such distribution. The THRC FTSI Related Equity was the result of a transaction whereby THRC Holdings, which owned approximately 19.5% of FTSI, agreed to retain that interest in FTSI in lieu of receiving cash pursuant to the FTSI Merger Agreement.

We have accounted for the acquisition of FTSI using the acquisition method of accounting. We used our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets expected to be acquired and liabilities expected to be assumed at the acquisition date. The majority of the measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

The allocation of the purchase price to FTSI’s net tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets as of March 4, 2022, is preliminary and subject to revisions to the fair value calculations for the identifiable assets and liabilities. The determination and allocation of the purchase consideration are subject to change during the measurement period, up to one year from the date the acquisition closed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our revenues and pretax earnings included $48.6 million and $0.1 million loss, respectively, associated with the FTSI acquired operations after the closing on March 4, 2022. In addition, FTSI acquisition-related costs of approximately $3.7 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting of external legal and consulting fees. These costs are classified in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we incurred $9.3 million in severance costs in connection with the FTSI acquisition, which are classified in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Throughout the second quarter of 2022, we integrated FTSI’s operations. As a result, we track all stimulation services assets as one group and it would be impracticable to separately report FTSI revenues or pretax earnings subsequent to March 31, 2022.

Flotek Industries, Inc.

On February 2, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek”), pursuant to which Flotek will provide full downhole chemistry solutions for a minimum of ten hydraulic fleets for three years starting on April 1, 2022, at a price of cost plus 7% (“Flotek Supply Agreement”). In exchange for entry into the Flotek Supply Agreement, we received $10 million in initial principal amount of Flotek Convertible Notes and acquired an additional $10 million in principal amount of Flotek Convertible Notes in the PIPE Transaction. Our equity ownership in Flotek on a fully diluted basis as a result of this investment is approximately 17%. In addition, we received the right to designate up to two directors to Flotek’s board of directors.

On February 16, 2022, we and Flotek agreed to amend the Flotek Supply Agreement to increase the term to ten years and increase the scope to 30 fleets. In exchange for our entry into the amendment to the Flotek Supply Agreement (the “Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment”), Flotek agreed to issue us $50 million in initial principal amount of Flotek Convertible Notes that will be convertible into Flotek common stock. The Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment and issuance to us of additional Flotek Convertible Notes were conditioned upon customary closing conditions including the approval of Flotek’s shareholders. In May 2022, the Flotek shareholders approved the Convertible Notes issuance and the Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment. Our equity ownership in Flotek on a fully diluted basis after the consummation of these transactions is approximately 43%, and we are permitted to designate two additional directors, or up to four directors to Flotek’s board of directors. Because of our power to appoint directors to the board of directors without a direct equity interest in Flotek, we determined that Flotek is a VIE. We further determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, primarily due to our ability to appoint four of seven directors to Flotek’s board of directors. As a result, subsequent to May 17, 2022, we have accounted for this transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of

accounting and Flotek’s financial statements have been included in our consolidated financial statements from May 17, 2022. As we had no direct equity interest in Flotek during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we allocated 100% of Flotek’s loss to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements.

The Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment includes a minimum annual volume commitment whereby we will be obligated to pay Flotek liquidated damages equal to 25% of the shortfall for such year, should we fail to meet the minimum purchase amount. At May 17, 2022, we had a supply agreement contract liability of $9.9 million, which was included as purchase consideration for Flotek as a settlement of a pre-existing relationship. All effects of the Supply Agreement have been eliminated from our consolidated financial statements subsequent to May 17, 2022.

The notes issued to ProFrac accrue paid-in-kind interest at a rate of 10% per annum, have a maturity of one year, and convert into common stock of Flotek (a) at the holder’s option at any time prior to maturity, at a price of $1.088125 per share, (b) at Flotek’s option, if the volume-weighted average trading price of Flotek’s common stock equals or exceeds $2.50 for 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period, or (c) at maturity, at a price of $0.8705 (the “Convertible Notes”). We initially recognized the Convertible Notes with an initial principal balance of $20 million at $20 million. At May 17, 2022, we estimated the fair value of these Convertible Notes to be $30.2 million, which was included as purchase consideration for Flotek as a settlement of a pre-existing relationship. All effects of the Flotek Convertible Notes have been eliminated from our consolidated financial statements subsequent to May 17, 2022.

Before May 17, 2022, we designated our investment in the Flotek Convertible Notes as trading securities. Securities designated as trading securities are reported at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in net investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. For the period from February 2, 2022 through May 17, 2022 we recognized noncash income of $10.2 million as other (expense) income on our consolidated statements of operations related to the change in fair value of the Flotek Convertible Notes.

In June 2022, Flotek issued and sold to ProFrac II LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProFrac LLC, pre-funded warrants to purchase from Flotek up to approximately 13.1 million shares of Flotek common stock at any time and at an exercise price equal to $0.0001 per share, in exchange for $19.5 million in cash. ProFrac II LLC and its affiliates may not receive any voting or consent rights in respect of these warrants or the underlying shares unless and until (i) Flotek has obtained approval from a majority of its shareholders excluding ProFrac II LLC and its affiliates and (ii) ProFrac II LLC has paid an additional $4.5 million to Flotek. We entered into this transaction to provide additional working capital to Flotek to enable it to perform under the Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment. These pre-funded warrants have been eliminated from our consolidated financial statements.

We used our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The majority of the measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was based on the Flotek common stock price reported by the New York Stock Exchange at the date of the acquisition, which represented Level 1 inputs. No portion of the recorded goodwill is tax deductible.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our revenues and pretax earnings included $6.1 million and $8.5 million loss, respectively, associated with the Flotek acquired operations after May 17, 2022.

The allocation of the purchase price to Flotek’s net tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets as of May 17, 2022, is preliminary and subject to revisions to the fair value calculations for the identifiable assets and liabilities. The determination and allocation of the purchase consideration are subject to change during the measurement period, up to one year from the date the acquisition closed.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared as though the FTSI and Flotek acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2021. Pro forma amounts are based on the purchase price allocation of the significant acquisition and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported in the future.

Agreement to Acquire U.S. Well Services, Inc.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 24, 2022 (the “USWS Merger 8-K”), on June 21, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, U.S. Well Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USWS”), and Thunderclap Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub Inc. with and into USWS, with USWS surviving the merger as the surviving corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of Class A Common Stock of USWS, par value $0.0001 per share (the “USWS Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive 0.3366 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of USWS stockholders, as described in the USWS Merger 8-K.

Based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market) of $21.49 per share on June 21, 2022, the last trading day prior to announcement of the Merger Agreement, the transaction represents aggregate stock consideration of approximately $93 million and a consideration per share of USWS Common Stock of $7.23, after giving effect to USWS’ recent 1-for-6 reverse stock split. After giving effect to the conversions of certain securities of USWS, as described in the USWS Merger 8-K, the total stock consideration payable to USWS stockholders and holders of USWS equity awards, based on the Company’s Class A Common Stock June 21, 2022 closing price, would be approximately $270 million. In addition, the Company will assume approximately $55 million of USWS’ outstanding indebtedness and repay approximately $170 million of USWS debt expected to be outstanding at closing. We anticipate that the total consideration to be paid in connection with the closing of the Merger will be funded through the New Term Loan Credit Facility and/or the New ABL Credit Facility, available cash, additional loans and/or notes and cash flows generated from operations.

Dan Wilks and Farris Wilks, together with certain of their affiliates, (collectively, the “Wilks Parties”) collectively hold a controlling interest in the Company. Certain Wilks Parties also own certain securities of USWS. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Wilks Parties will receive an aggregate of 4,112,407 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as merger consideration (assuming, solely for the purpose of this calculation, a hypothetical closing date of October 31, 2022), which, based on the Company’s Class A Common Stock June 21, 2022 closing price, would be approximately $88.4 million.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (a) receipt of the approval of the stockholders of USWS, (b) the absence of any applicable law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or the issuance of Company stock in connection with the Merger, (c) the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period (which has been satisfied), (d) the effectiveness of the registration statement in connection with the Merger, (e) approval of the issuance of Company stock in connection with the Merger for listing on Nasdaq, (f) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party, (g) the performance in all material respects of each party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (h) the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company and USWS.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and USWS and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, USWS may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $8.0 million or reimburse the Company for certain expenses in an amount up to $3.0 million, in each case, depending on the termination event.

Basin Production and Completion LLC

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased Series B-1 Preferred Units of Basin Production and Completion LLC (“BPC”), a manufacturer of equipment used in hydraulic fracturing for $4.2 million. This comprises approximately 20% of the BPC Series B Preferred Units. As of December 31, 2021, we did not exercise significant influence over this entity. As we determined this to be an equity security, we initially recorded our investment at cost, presented as “Investments” in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021.

On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all the series A-1 and B-1 preferred units of BPC for $46.0 million (“Basin Units Acquisition”), consisting of $40.0 million to BPC for series A-1 and B-1 preferred units and $6.0 million to selling holders of BPC series B-1 preferred units. Additionally, on February 14, 2022, the Company made a loan to FHE, a subsidiary of BPC for $1.25 million. The loan bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Interest is either paid at each calendar quarter end or added to the principal balance at the election of BPC. The loan matures on February 14, 2027.

Subsequent to February 9, 2022, our investments in BPC provide the Company the ability to have significant influence, but not control over BPC’s operations. BPC’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of its board of directors, which the Company does not control. Based on our evaluation, we determined that BPC is a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We have elected the fair value option to account for our equity method investment in BPC. See Note 16 — Fair Value of Financial Interests for more information on our investments using Level 3 measurements. At June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of these investments in BPC was $49.8 million.

EKU

On December 22, 2020, the Company purchased a 25% stake in EKU, an equipment manufacturer based in Germany, for $1.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we accounted for this investment using the equity method as we had significant influence over EKU, and held a voting interest of 20% or greater, but less than 50%. In January 2021, the Company obtained a controlling interest in EKU, the results of which are consolidated thereafter.

The Company obtained a 75% controlling interest in EKU in January 2021 and performed a purchase price allocation in conjunction with the consolidation of this subsidiary. We recognized net working capital of $2.5 million, property, plant and equipment of $0.4 million, intangible assets of $3.5 million and debt of $1.4 million at estimated fair value. In consolidation, we eliminated our investment in associate, recognized equity of $3.7 million for the value of our 75% interest, and noncontrolling interest of $1.2 million for the value of the minority shareholder positions. See Note 6 – Intangible Assets for additional information related to the recognized intangible assets.

Munger Ranch

The Company entered into an agreement to acquire property in West Texas (“Munger Right Agreement”) in November 2021 for a purchase price of $30.0 million. Under the Munger Right Agreement, the sellers were given the option to receive the consideration in cash, or in the event of an IPO prior to November 17, 2022, in equity, at the sellers’ election. Under the equity option, in the event the Company completes an IPO, the sellers would be entitled to 1.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the IPO. Each seller ultimately elected the equity option, as such this was a non-cash transaction for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Munger Right Agreement includes a ‘Make Whole’ provision. Under the Make Whole provision, if any seller liquidates 100% of the shares of our Class A Common Stock they are issued prior to the one-year anniversary of the IPO and the value of the shares sold does not equal such seller’s share of the $30.0 million purchase price, then the Company will pay the difference between the amount of cash the seller would have received had they elected the cash option and the amount they ultimately received upon the sale of the Class A shares issued under the equity option. This Make Whole provision is accounted for as a written put option with a fair value of $4.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and is presented within Other Current Liabilities in our Balance Sheet. The acquired property was treated as an asset acquisition and not an acquisition of a business, and is presented within Property, plant, and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets.

On February 4, 2022, THRC Holdings entered into a Rights Agreement with Encantor Properties LP, one of the sellers from whom the Company purchased the Munger Ranch property, under which the related party was assigned rights to $8.1 million of the $30.0 million in consideration related to the Munger Ranch purchase.

As part of the IPO completed in May 2022, the Company issued 2,114,273 shares of Class A Common Stock worth $38.1 million as consideration for the Munger Ranch purchase.

iO-TEQ, LLC

The Company acquired iO-TEQ, LLC (“IOT”) in October 2021 for $2.2 million and performed a purchase price allocation at the acquisition date. We recognized net working capital of $0.2 million, property, plant and equipment of $0.1 million, intangible assets of $2.4 million and debt of $0.4 million at estimated fair value. See Note 6 – Intangible Assets for additional information related to the recognized intangible assets.

Best Flow minority interests

In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Eagleton Venture, Inc. (“Eagleton”) to purchase Eagleton’s 15.172% interest in Best Flow for a purchase price of $3.9 million, which the company paid in cash, during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

16. Fair value of financial instruments

Assets and liabilities recorded on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values.

The Company’s financial instruments and investments that are carried at fair value consist mainly of Level 3 assets. Level 3 assets that have been measured on a recurring basis during 2022 relate to the Company’s investments in (i) Convertible Notes of Flotek, designated as trading securities up to the acquisition date of Flotek and (ii) the equity method investment in BPC, for which we elected the fair value option, as described in Note 14 – Acquisitions and investments for disclosure of the terms of these investments. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2022. We had no Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2021.

The estimated fair value of the BPC investment as of June 30, 2022 was determined using a combination of the market and income approaches.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Flotek Convertible Notes prior to our consolidation of Flotek on May 17, 2022 was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation with inputs such as the market trading price of the Flotek’s common stock, the expected volatility of the Flotek’s stock price based on historical trends, a risk-free rate of interest based on US Treasury note rates and the term of the debt, the time to liquidation based on the maturity date of the notes, and a discount rate adjusted based on the credit risk of Flotek.

17. Commitments and contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, we are the subject of, or party to a number of pending or threatened legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that, other than as described below, the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations.

Patterson v. FTS International Manufacturing, LLC and FTS International Services, LLC: On June 24, 2015, Joshua Patterson filed a lawsuit against the Company in the 115th Judicial District Court of Upshur County, Texas, alleging, among other things, that the Company was negligent with respect to an automobile accident in 2013. Mr. Patterson sought monetary relief of more than $1 million. On July 19, 2018, a jury returned a verdict of approximately $100 million, including punitive damages, against the Company. The trial court reduced the judgment on November 12, 2018, to approximately $33 million. The Company’s insurance carriers appealed and the Twelfth Court of Appeals reversed the verdict in its entirety on August 26, 2020, remanding the case for a new trial. The Company’s insurance carriers are currently appealing one of the appellate findings with the Texas Supreme Court. No new trial date has been set. While the outcome of this case is uncertain, the Company has met its insurance deductible for this matter and we do not expect the ultimate resolution of this case to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Lonestar Prospects, Ltd. d/b/a Vista Sand v. ProFrac Services, LLC: ProFrac Services, LLC (“ProFrac Services”) entered into a Master Purchase Agreement For Products And/Or Services with Lonestar Prospects, Ltd. d/b/a Vista Sand (“Vista”), dated November 27, 2017 (the “Vista MSA”), as amended by the First Addendum to Vista MSA and the First Amendment to Vista MSA, both of which are dated June 10, 2018 (collectively, the “Vista Agreement”). Under the terms of the Vista Agreement, ProFrac Services agreed to purchase certain quantities of sand from Vista. Vista filed a complaint against ProFrac Services in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas on March 15, 2021, in which it alleges that ProFrac Services breached the terms of the Vista Agreement by failing to purchase the required amount of sand or pay for the underpurchased amounts as required by the Vista Agreement. Vista is seeking damages of approximately $8.31 million. Vista and ProFrac Services have entered into a mutually agreed upon Scheduling Order signed by the Court on February 12, 2022. Trial docket call for this matter is currently scheduled for September 6, 2022.

We estimate and provide for potential losses that may arise out of legal proceedings and claims to the extent that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in making these estimates and our final liabilities may ultimately be materially different from these estimates. When preparing our estimates, we consider, among other factors, the progress of each legal proceeding and claim, our experience and the experience of others in similar legal proceedings and claims, and the opinions and views of legal counsel. Legal costs related to litigation contingencies are expensed as incurred.

18. Segment information

Our business has three reportable segments: Stimulation services, Manufacturing and Proppant production. Each reportable segment represents a separate business unit that operated as a standalone company prior to the reorganization of the Company in December 2021. Following the reorganization, each reportable segment continues to have distinct management and prepares discrete financial information for the segment (consistent with when each operated as a standalone business). FTSI is part of our stimulation services segment. Amounts in the other category reflect our business activities that are not separately reportable, which only included Flotek for the periods presented. Our chief operating decision makers review the discrete segment financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of profitability, to evaluate the performance of our segments and make resource allocation decisions.

We account for intersegment transactions as if the transactions were with third parties, that is, at estimated current market prices. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, intersegment revenues for the manufacturing segment were 92% and 88% and 88% and 87%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, intersegment revenues for the proppant production segment were 64% and 44% and 66% and 38%, respectively.

 

35


Table of Contents

The performance of our segments is evaluated primarily on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) loss on disposal of assets, and (v) stock-based compensation, and (vi) other unusual or non-recurring charges, such as costs related to our initial public offering, non-recurring supply commitment charges, certain bad debt expense and gain on extinguishment of debt.

Segment information, and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

19. Subsequent events

The following events occurred after June 30, 2022:

On July 25, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of SP Silica of Monahans, LLC and SP Silica Sales, LLC (collectively “Monahans”), the West Texas subsidiaries of Signal Peak Silica, for a purchase price of $90.0 million in cash plus working capital adjustments of approximately $10.0 million.

On July 25, 2022, the New Term Loan Facility was amended to increase the size of the New Term Loan Facility by $150.0 million with an uncommitted option to obtain commitments for a potential additional $100.0 million of delayed draw loans before the earlier to occur of (i) the Merger and (ii) March 31, 2023. The maturity date of the New Term Loan Facility remains the same at March 4, 2025. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the increased New Term Loan Facility to fund the acquisition of Monahans and anticipates using the remainder of the proceeds and operating cash to facilitate the Merger, pay outstanding debt under the New ABL Credit Facility and/or for other general corporate purposes.

On July 25, 2022, the New ABL Credit Facility was amended to add an uncommitted $100.0 million incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”, under the terms of which existing lenders can make additional loans (in their sole discretion) under, or new lenders can join, the Incremental Facility and increase the potential size of the New ABL Credit Facility from $200 million to $300 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. All other terms and conditions of the New ABL Credit Facility remained substantially unchanged.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

Recent Developments

Initial Public Offering

On May 12, 2022, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 16,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. On June 6, 2022, an over-allotment option was exercised resulting in an additional 2,228,153 shares of Class A Common Stock being priced at $18.00 per share. The IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option generated combined net proceeds of $303.9 million, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs.

In connection with our IPO, we entered into the transactions described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 18, 2022.

Corporate Reorganization

Pursuant to a master reorganization agreement (the “Master Reorganization Agreement”) dated May 12, 2022, by and among the Company, ProFrac Holdings, LLC (“ProFrac LLC”) and certain other holders of common units of ProFrac LLC, the Company and ProFrac LLC completed certain restructuring transactions (the “Corporate Reorganization”). As part of the Corporate Reorganization:

 

   

the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws;

 

   

the Company and the other members of ProFrac LLC entered into the Third Amended and Restated ProFrac Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “ProFrac LLC Agreement”); and

 

   

in connection with the adoption of the ProFrac LLC Agreement, the Company was admitted as the sole managing member of ProFrac LLC.

For additional information regarding the Corporate Reorganization and the Master Reorganization Agreement, please see “Corporate Reorganization” in our prospectus, dated May 12, 2022, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on May 16, 2022 in connection with our initial public offering (the “IPO Prospectus”) and “Master Reorganization Agreement” in Item 1.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 18, 2022, respectively.

Acquisition of FTS International, Inc.

On March 4, 2022, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of FTSI International, Inc. (“FTSI”) for a purchase price of $405.7 million, consisting of cash consideration of $332.8 million, and certain equity interests of $72.9 million (“THRC FTSI Related Equity”).

Consolidation of Flotek Industries, Inc.

On February 2, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek”), pursuant to which Flotek will provide full downhole chemistry solutions for a minimum of ten hydraulic fleets for three years starting on April 1, 2022, at a price of cost plus 7% (“Flotek Supply Agreement”). In exchange for entry into the Flotek Supply Agreement, we received $10 million in initial principal amount of Flotek Convertible Notes and acquired an additional $10 million in principal amount of Flotek Convertible Notes in the PIPE Transaction. Our equity ownership in Flotek on a fully diluted basis as a result of this investment is approximately 17%. In addition, we received the right to designate up to two directors to Flotek’s board of directors.

On February 16, 2022, we and Flotek agreed to amend the Flotek Supply Agreement to increase the term to ten years and increase the scope to 30 fleets. In exchange for our entry into the amendment to the Flotek Supply Agreement (the “Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment”), Flotek agreed to issue us $50 million in initial principal amount of Flotek Convertible Notes that will be convertible into Flotek common stock. The Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment and issuance to us of additional Flotek Convertible Notes were conditioned upon customary closing conditions including the approval of Flotek’s shareholders. In May 2022, the Flotek shareholders approved the Convertible Notes issuance and the Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment. Our equity ownership in Flotek on a fully diluted basis after the consummation of these transactions is approximately 43%, and we are permitted to designate two additional directors, or up to four directors to Flotek’s board of directors. Because of our power to appoint directors to the board of directors without a direct equity interest in Flotek, we determined that Flotek is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We further determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, primarily due to our ability to appoint four of seven directors to Flotek’s board of

directors. As a result, subsequent to May 17, 2022, we have accounted for this transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and Flotek’s financial statements have been included in our consolidated financial statements from May 17, 2022. As we had no direct equity interest in Flotek during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we allocated 100% of Flotek’s loss to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 – Acquisitions and investments in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion related to the acquisition of Flotek.

Acquisition of Monahans

On July 25, 2022, ProFrac II LLC acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of SP Silica of Monahans LLC and SP Silica Sales, LLC (collectively, “Monahans”), the West Texas subsidiaries of Signal Peak Silica, for a purchase price of $90 million in cash plus working capital adjustments of approximately $10 million. In connection with the closing of the Monahans acquisition, ProFrac II LLC acquired, among other things, an in-basin frac sand facility and related mining operations in the Permian Basin.

Agreement to Acquire U.S. Well Services, Inc.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 24, 2022 (the “USWS Merger 8-K”), on June 21, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, U.S. Well Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USWS”), and Thunderclap Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub Inc. with and into USWS, with USWS surviving the merger as the surviving corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of Class A Common Stock of USWS, par value $0.0001 per share (the “USWS Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive 0.3366 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of USWS stockholders, as described in the USWS Merger 8-K.

Based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market) of $21.49 per share on June 21, 2022, the last trading day prior to announcement of the Merger Agreement, the transaction represents aggregate stock consideration of approximately $93 million and a consideration per share of USWS Common Stock of $7.23, after giving effect to USWS’ recent 1-for-6 reverse stock split. After giving effect to the conversions of certain securities of USWS, as described in the USWS Merger 8-K, the total stock consideration payable to USWS stockholders and holders of USWS equity awards, based on the Company’s Class A Common Stock June 21, 2022 closing price, would be approximately $270 million. In addition, the Company will assume approximately $55 million of USWS’ outstanding indebtedness and will repay approximately $170 million of USWS debt expected to be outstanding at closing. We anticipate that the total consideration to be paid in connection with the closing of the Merger will be funded through the New Term Loan Credit Facility and/or the New ABL Credit Facility, available cash, additional loans and/or notes and cash flows generated from operations.

Our Predecessor and ProFrac Holding Corp.

Our predecessor consists of ProFrac LLC and its subsidiaries, Best Flow and Alpine (which we refer to as “ProFrac Predecessor”) on a consolidated basis. Historical periods for ProFrac Predecessor had been presented on a consolidated and combined basis given the common control ownership by the Wilks. On December 21, 2021, all of the then-outstanding membership interests in Best Flow and Alpine were contributed to ProFrac LLC in exchange for membership interests in ProFrac LLC. Unless otherwise indicated, the historical consolidated financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q presents the historical financial information of ProFrac Predecessor. Historical consolidated financial information is not indicative of the results that may be expected in any future periods.

Overview

We are a growth-oriented, vertically integrated and innovation-driven energy services company providing hydraulic fracturing, completion services and other complementary products and services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production (“E&P”) of North American unconventional oil and natural gas resources. Founded in 2016, ProFrac was built to be the go-to service provider for E&P companies’ most demanding hydraulic fracturing needs. We are focused on employing new technologies to significantly reduce “greenhouse gas” emissions and increase efficiency in what has historically been an

emissions-intensive component of the unconventional E&P development process. We believe the technical and operational capabilities of our fleets ideally position us to capture increased demand resulting from the market recovery and our customers’ shifting preferences favoring the sustainable development of natural resources.

Our operations are focused on the leading unconventional regions in the United States, where we have cultivated deep and longstanding customer relationships with some of those regions’ most active E&P companies. We operate in three business segments: stimulation services, manufacturing and proppant production. We believe we are one of the largest providers of hydraulic fracturing services in North America, with installed capacity of 34 conventional fleets, of which, as of June 30, 2022, 31 were active.

Overall trends and outlook

The global public health crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented effect on demand for energy, crude oil prices and global economic activity. In 2020, the combined effect of COVID-19 and the disruptions to the energy industry led to a rapid and significant decline in WTI crude oil prices and Henry Hub natural gas prices. In response to the significant drop in commodity prices, E&P companies acted swiftly to reduce capital budgets and drilling and completion activity. Reduced demand for services compounded by constrained capital access forced the acceleration of the attrition cycle for pressure pumping equipment as older equipment requiring higher repair and maintenance spending were used for spare parts or scrapped. These difficult industry conditions allowed us to strengthen our industry leadership position by implementing targeted and forward-looking initiatives that enhance our equipment and provide greater supply chain control.

Drilling and completion activities for oil and gas are heavily influenced by oil and gas prices. In 2022, geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have resulted in significant supply disruptions as a broad coalition of countries have responded with sanctions and/or import bans associated with Russian oil and natural gas. This has resulted in significant tightening in the market as reflected by higher commodity prices, with oil and gas prices reaching decade highs. As a result of the FTSI acquisition, our operations have diversified exposure to both natural gas and oil producing areas. Natural gas and oil prices have increased substantially compared to year-end 2020 prices and have also surpassed year-end 2019 (pre-COVID-19) levels.

While commodity prices have returned to and exceeded pre-pandemic levels, the pandemic has nonetheless led to supply chain disruptions worldwide. Tariffs, access to employees, increased shipping rates and raw material shortages are plaguing markets. Our supply chain is either vertically integrated or predominantly U.S. based, mitigating our exposure to global disruptions and price increases and allowing us to continue to maintain attractive margins. As our operations are predominantly U.S. based, we have no direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine. We have realized indirect impacts that may have occurred as a result of the crisis, such as modest increases in the costs of certain raw materials and components we purchase for use in our manufacturing processes. However, given the inflationary climate in the United States and globally, we are unable to determine the extent to which such increased commodity prices are the result of the crisis in Ukraine or a result of other factors. Despite these increases, we have experienced improved results of operations due to increased utilization of our fleets and increased prices for our products and services which have permitted us to maintain and increase our margins notwithstanding such cost increases.

The oil and gas industry is currently undergoing significant realignment of operating practices with a focus on reducing impacts to the environment. Many E&P companies are implementing carbon tracking and reduction initiatives and are expecting oilfield service providers to deliver products and services that utilize the most advanced and environmentally friendly technologies. We believe that companies in the pressure pumping industry with the most technologically advanced fleets and lowest carbon footprint will likely see significant growth in market share at the expense of companies with less advanced equipment. We have embraced tangible initiatives that help to protect the environment and improve our environment and communities making it part of our organizational culture since early in the life of the company. We have and intend to continue to invest in a number of industry leading advanced technologies that reduce carbon emissions while increasing profitability. We are currently upgrading five to ten engines per month from Tier II to Tier IV DGB. In June 2021 we entered into an agreement with USWS under which we have the ability to acquire up to 20 licenses to construct electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets utilizing Clean Fleet® technology. We believe that these initiatives and commitment to lower emissions will help us lead the energy transition of the frac industry towards cleaner and sustainable business.

How we generate revenue

We operate three business segments: stimulation services, manufacturing and proppant production. Business activities that are not separately reportable, which only included Flotek, are classified in the other category.

Stimulation services. We own and operate a fleet of mobile hydraulic fracturing units and other auxiliary equipment that generates revenue by providing stimulation services to our customers. We also provide personnel and services that are tailored to meet each of our customers’ needs. We generally do not have long-term written contractual arrangements with our customers other than standard master service agreements, which include general contractual terms between our customers and us. We charge our customers on a per-

Table of Contents

job basis, in which we set pricing terms after receiving full specifications for the requested job, including the lateral length of the customer’s wellbore, the number of frac stages per well, the amount of proppant employed and other specifications of the job. Well stimulation contains complementary services that we often provide to our customers, including sand and associated logistics, chemicals and fuel. These complementary services are provided through various contractual arrangements based on our customers’ needs.

Manufacturing. We primarily generate revenue through sales of highly engineered, tight tolerance machined, assembled, and factory tested products such as high horsepower pumps, valves, piping, swivels, large-bore manifold systems, seats, and fluid ends. As of June 30, 2022, we operate facilities in Cisco, Aledo and Fort Worth, Texas, including an ISO 9001 2015 certified OEM manufacturing facility, in which we manufacture and refurbish many of the components used by our fleets, including pumps, fluid ends, power ends, flow iron and other consumables and an engine and transmission rebuild facility that is licensed to provide warranty repairs on our transmissions. Additionally, we provide iron inspection, iron recertification, pump refurbishment, fluid end refurbishment, pump function testing, paint, scrap, and lube system change services. We charge our customers for equipment based on a per-order basis, in which we set pricing terms after receiving full specifications for the requested equipment. We charge our customers for our services based on the parts and labor incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, intersegment revenues for the manufacturing segment were 92% and 88%, and 88% and 87%, respectively.

Proppant production. We generate revenue by providing proppant to oilfield service providers and E&P companies. We own and operate the Kermit sand mine in west Texas and recently purchased and are in the process of developing the West Munger sand mine near Lamesa, Texas, and we charge our customers on a per ton of proppant basis at current market prices. We do not have long-term written contractual arrangements with our customers with fixed pricing. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, intersegment revenues for the proppant production segment were 64% and 44%, and 66% and 38%, respectively.

Costs of conducting our business

The principal costs of products and services involved in operating our business are expendables, personnel, equipment repairs and maintenance and fuel. Our fixed costs are relatively low and a large portion of the costs described below are only incurred as we perform jobs for our customers.

Expendables. Expendables used in our stimulation services business are the largest expenses incurred, and include the fuel, product and freight costs associated with proppant, chemicals and other consumables. Fuel is consumed both in the operation and movement of our hydraulic fracturing fleets and other equipment. In our proppant production business, fuel to run equipment is one of our major expenses. These costs comprise a substantial variable component of our service costs, particularly with respect to the quantity and quality of sand demanded when providing hydraulic fracturing services.

Raw Materials. Our manufacturing segment relies on various raw materials, specifically various grades of steel and other raw metals, and electricity.

Direct Labor Costs. Payroll and benefit expenses directly related to the delivery of our products and services are included in our operating costs.

Other Direct Costs. We incur other expenses related to our products and service offerings, including the costs of repairs and maintenance, general supplies, equipment rental and other miscellaneous operating expenses. Capital expenditures to upgrade or extend the useful life of equipment are not included in other direct costs.

How we evaluate our operations

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to evaluate and analyze the performance of our business, including Adjusted EBITDA.

Note regarding Non-GAAP financial measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, net loss, operating 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 our profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure 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 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).

 

41


Table of Contents

We view Adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) loss on disposal of assets, (v) stock-based compensation, and (vi) other unusual or non-recurring charges, such as costs related to our initial public offering, non-recurring supply commitment charges, certain bad debt expense and gain on extinguishment of debt.

We believe that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA will 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 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. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

Factors affecting the comparability of our financial results

Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the reasons described below:

Recent Acquisitions

We have grown recently through strategic acquisitions and investments, including through our recently completed acquisitions of Monahans, FTSI and West Munger and our investments in BPC and Flotek. These acquisitions are not reflected in our historical results of operations and our future results will differ as a result.

In addition, in connection with our acquisitions, we have recorded the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value on the date of acquisition, which has impacted deferred revenue and deferred costs balances and increased revenue and expenses from that which would have otherwise been recognized in subsequent periods. We also recorded identifiable intangible assets that are amortized over their useful lives, increasing expenses from that which would otherwise have been recognized.

Public company expenses

We expect to incur additional recurring administrative expenses as a result of becoming a publicly traded corporation that we have not previously incurred, including costs associated with compliance under the Exchange Act, annual and quarterly reports to shareholders, transfer agent fees, audit fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs, SOX compliance readiness, and director and officer compensation. We additionally expect to incur approximately $2.5 million in incremental, non-recurring costs related to our transition to a publicly traded corporation.

Income taxes

ProFrac Holding Corp. is a corporation and will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Although the ProFrac Predecessor entities are subject to franchise tax in the State of Texas, they have historically been treated as pass-through entities for U.S. federal and other state and local income tax purposes and as such were not subject to U.S. federal income taxes or other state or local income taxes. Rather, the tax liability with respect to the taxable income of the ProFrac Predecessor entities was passed through to their owners. Accordingly, prior to the March 2022 acquisition of FTSI, a corporation subject to U.S. federal and state income tax, the financial data attributable to ProFrac Predecessor contains no provision for U.S. federal income taxes or income taxes in any state or locality (other than franchise tax in the State of Texas). Subsequent to the acquisition of FTSI in March 2022, the financial data of the ProFrac Predecessor does contain both U.S. federal and state income taxes. We estimate that we will be subject to U.S. federal and state taxes at a blended statutory rate of approximately 23% of pre-tax earnings. Additionally, with the acquisition of EKU, the Company is subject to certain foreign taxes, which were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Effective March 4, 2022 we account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.

 

42


Table of Contents

We recorded a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets based on our assessment that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. A change in these assumptions could cause a decrease to the valuation allowance, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Stimulation services revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $408.0 million, or 242%, and $600.5 million, or 192%, respectively from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in customer activity for our stimulation services, and an increase in active fleets, pumping hours and pricing. Additionally, FTSI contributed revenue to this segment from the acquisition date.

Revenues—Manufacturing. Manufacturing revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $18.6 million, or 115%, and $36.0 million, or 117%, respectively from the same periods in 2021.The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our products due to increased activity levels from customers for manufactured components utilized in the oilfield service industry.

Revenues—Proppant production. Proppant production revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $9.8 million, or 125%, and $16.6 million, or 124%, respectively from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in proppant production and pricing resulting from increased proppant demand primarily in the Permian basin.

Revenues—Other. Other revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were $15.4 million compared to zero in the same periods in 2021. The increase was attributable to the Flotek acquisition.

Total revenues. Total revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $415.0 million and $610.4 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in customer activity for our stimulation services, and an increase in active fleets, pumping hours and pricing. Additionally, FTSI contributed from the acquisition date.

Operating costs and expenses

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation, depletion, and amortization—Stimulation services. Stimulation services for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $218.1 million, or 172%, and $343.3 million, or 140%, respectively from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in activity levels, as discussed in Revenue above, and additional input cost inflation. Additionally, FTSI contributed cost to this segment from the acquisition date.

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation, depletion, and amortization—Manufacturing. Manufacturing for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $8.2 million, or 59%, and $16.9 million, or 69%, respectively from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our products as well as an increase in the cost of raw materials.

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation, depletion, and amortization—Proppant production. Proppant production for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $5.3 million, or 131%, and $6.8 million, or 102%, respectively from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a litigation charge of $4.0 million and an increase in proppant production and increased cost of production.

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation, depletion, and amortization—Other. Other for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 was $19.1 million compared to zero in the same periods in 2021. The increase was attributable to the Flotek acquisition.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $29.2 million and $37.9 million, respectively from the same periods in 2021, The increase was primarily due to increased capital expenditure in the first quarter of 2022 and the depreciation related to the assets acquired from FTSI acquisition.

Gain or Loss on disposal of assets, net. For the second quarter and first six months of 2022 we recorded a net loss on disposal of assets of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, compared with a net loss on disposal of assets of $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $73.5 million, or 521%, and $93.8 million, or 337%, respectively from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily due to a stock-based compensation charge of $40.3 million primarily related to certain deemed contributions in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was also due to higher headcount and personnel costs, higher incentive compensation, increased non-labor costs associated with the increased activity levels, and acquisition related expenses. See Note 11 – Stock-based compensation in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion related to the stock-based compensation charge.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $7.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021. The increase in interest expense, net was attributable to various debt transactions, which increased our debt balances, and higher average interest rates in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 7 – Indebtedness in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion related to our debt.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. As a result of the debt refinancing transactions in the first quarter of 2022 and debt repayments in the second quarter of 2022 transactions for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of $8.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively. See Note 7 – Indebtedness in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion related to our debt.

Other income. For the second quarter and first six months of 2022 we recognized noncash income of $1.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, primarily related to the change in fair value of the Convertible Notes related to our investment in BPC and Flotek.

Income tax benefit (provision). Income tax expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 was $4.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.3 and $0.3 million for the same periods in 2021. The increase in the 2022 tax provision is due to the ProFrac Predecessor being partially owned by ProFrac Corp, a taxable entity, subsequent to the IPO.

Segment results

The performance of our segments is evaluated primarily on Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For a reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss, see Note 18 – Segment Information, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Adjusted EBITDA—Stimulation services. Adjusted EBITDA—Stimulation services for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $165.6 million and $226.2 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average active fleets and increased pricing for our services, partially offset by costs associated with the FTSI acquisition of $13.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA—Manufacturing. Adjusted EBITDA—Manufacturing for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $9.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased volume for our products used by our oil field services customers.

Adjusted EBITDA—Proppant production. Adjusted EBITDA—Proppant production for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 increased $9.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in proppant production and pricing resulting from increased proppant demand in the Permian basin.

Adjusted EBITDA—Other. Adjusted EBITDA—Other for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 decreased $7.5 million from the same periods in 2021. The decrease was due to Flotek results.

Liquidity and capital resources

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been borrowings under our Old ABL Credit Facility, cash flows from our operations and capital contributions from our shareholders. Our primary uses of capital have been investing in and maintaining our property and equipment and repaying indebtedness.

Since our IPO, we expect that our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources will be cash on hand, including net proceeds of our IPO, cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be to continue to fund our operations, support organic and strategic growth opportunities and satisfy future debt payments.

Due our determination that Flotek is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, Flotek’s financial statements have been included in our consolidated financial statements from May 17, 2022. However, we do not have the ability to access or deploy Flotek’s cash or liquidity in our operations and, accordingly, have excluded Flotek’s cash and other sources of liquidity from the following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources. See Note 14 – Acquisitions and investments in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion related to the acquisition of Flotek.

Based on our current cash and cash equivalents balance, operating cash flow, current availability under our credit facilities, and the ongoing actions and financing alternatives discussed below, we believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund our planned acquisitions and capital expenditures, satisfy our obligations, and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants through the next twelve months and beyond.

Acquisition Financing

We may need to incur significant additional indebtedness in order to finance the Merger, which will limit our operating flexibility, and could adversely affect our operations and financial results and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations. The Merger Agreement requires us to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and consummate a financing to fund the repayment in connection with the closing of the Merger of certain indebtedness of USWS and its subsidiaries. Our obtaining the financing necessary to consummate the Merger is not a condition to closing the Merger.

As further described below, on July 25, 2022, we amended (i) the New Term Loan Facility to increase the size of the New Term Loan Facility by $150.0 million with an uncommitted option to obtain commitments for a potential additional $100.0 million of delayed draw loans and (ii) the New ABL Credit Facility to add an uncommitted $100.0 million incremental facility and increase the potential size of the New ABL Credit Facility from $200 million to $300 million. We used a portion of the proceeds from the increased New Term Loan Facility to fund the acquisition of Monahans and we anticipate using the remainder of the proceeds and operating cash to finance the Merger, pay outstanding debt under New ABL Credit Facility and/or for other general corporate purposes.

In addition to the approximately $270 million in total stock consideration payable to USWS stockholders and holders of USWS equity awards, the repayment of approximately $170 million of USWS debt expected to be outstanding at closing, and the payment of expenses and other costs incurred in connection with the Merger, we expect to assume approximately $55 million of indebtedness in connection with the Merger. Although we expect to fund these costs through the New Term Loan Credit Facility and/or the New ABL Credit Facility, available cash, additional loans and/or notes and cash flows generated from operations, we cannot assure that these sources will be sufficient, or that we will be able to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, or that our cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient, in order to satisfy our obligations in connection with the Merger, or otherwise. For additional discussion of risks relating to our liquidity needs, the Merger and our anticipated additional indebtedness, see our risk factors under Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On May 17, 2022, in connection with our IPO, we entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) with certain of the common unit holders of ProFrac LLC (the “TRA Holders”). The TRA generally provides for the payment by us to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of our acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder’s common units of ProFrac LLC in connection with our IPO or pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right (as defined in the TRA) or the Call Right (as defined in the TRA) and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the TRA. We depend on ProFrac LLC to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover our obligations under the TRA.

Payments will generally be made under the TRA as we realize actual cash tax savings from the tax benefits covered by the TRA. However, if we experience a Change of Control (as defined in the TRA), or the TRA otherwise terminates early, our obligations under the TRA would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the TRA (determined by applying a discount rate). Any such payment is expected to be substantial.

Our 2022 Capital Budget

Our 2022 capital expenditure budget, excluding acquisitions, is estimated to be in a range between $265 million and $290 million, which represents the high end of the range provided previously, due to increased activity levels and costs. We have budgeted approximately $65 million to $70 million to construct three electric-powered fleets. We are fully committed to building the three electric-powered fleets and have several customers interested in contracting these fleets. We intend to align fleet construction and other growth capital expenditures with visible customer demand, by strategically deploying new equipment in response to inbound customer requests and industry trends. Also included in our 2022 capital expenditure budget is $25 million to $30 million to construct the West Munger sand mine. We estimate maintenance capital expenditures to be $3.0 million per fleet per year. We expect that the remainder of our 2022 capital expenditure budget, excluding any potential acquisitions, will be used to fund other growth initiatives such as upgrading Tier II fleets to Tier IV dual fuel fleets. We continually evaluate our capital expenditures and the amount that we ultimately spend will depend on a number of factors, including customer demand for new fleets and expected industry activity levels. We believe we will be able to fund our 2022 capital program from cash flows from operations.

Working Capital

Our working capital was $283.7 million and $5.0 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The $278.7 million increase in working capital was primarily due to higher activity levels in the first six months of 2022.

Cash and Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash

   $ 70,378      $ 14,430  

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $84.5 million and $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher activity levels and profitability, offset by working capital increases in the first and second quarters of 2022.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $388.3 million and $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to $279.0 million of cash paid for the FTSI acquisition, our $46.0 million investment in BPC, and higher capital expenditures of $62.5 million related to dual fuel engine upgrades, ESC installations, and our electric frac fleet build program. These uses of cash were partially offset by cash proceeds from the FTSI Sale Leaseback of real property.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $374.2 million and $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt associated with refinancing transactions related to the FTSI acquisition, proceeds from upsizing the New ABL Credit Facility (as described below), and proceeds from our IPO. These proceeds were offset by payments against our various debt instruments.

Credit facilities and other financing arrangements

New ABL Credit Facility

On March 4, 2022, ProFrac LLC, ProFrac II LLC, as borrower (in such capacity, the “ABL Borrower”), and certain of the ABL Borrower’s wholly owned subsidiaries as obligors, entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “New ABL Credit Facility”), with a group of lenders with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The New ABL Credit Facility initially provided for an asset-based revolving credit facility with a borrowing base and lender commitments of $100.0 million. On April 8, 2022, the New ABL Credit Facility was amended to increase the borrowing base and lender commitments to $200.0 million. The New ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base composed of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory less customary reserves, as redetermined monthly. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum availability under the New ABL Credit Facility was the aggregate lender commitments of $200.0 million with $143.4 million of borrowings outstanding and $9.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in approximately $47.4 million of remaining availability. The New ABL Credit Facility matures on the earlier of (i) March 4, 2027 and (ii) 91 days prior to the stated maturity of any material indebtedness (other than the First Financial Loan).

Borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to average historical availability, and the ABL Borrower may elect for loans to be based on either an Adjusted Term SOFR or a base rate, plus the applicable margin. The interest rate under the New ABL Credit Facility for (a) Adjusted Term SOFR is the applicable margin plus the fluctuating per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (with an Adjusted Term SOFR Floor of 0.00%); and (b) Base Rate Loans are the applicable margin plus the fluctuating per annum rate equal to the greatest of the Prime Rate in effect on such day, or the NYFRB Rate in effect

on such day plus 1/2% of 1% and the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month Interest Period as published two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), plus 1.0%. The applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR Loans ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% and for Base Rate Loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.00%, depending on the average daily availability over the last three months under the New ABL Credit Facility.

The New ABL Credit Facility bears an unused line fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375%, depending on the average daily availability over the last three months payable quarterly in arrears. The New ABL Credit Facility also bears customary letter of credit fees. The interest rate was 5.50% as of June 30, 2022.

The New ABL Credit Facility is subject to customary mandatory prepayments, including a mandatory prepayment if the aggregate unpaid principal balance of revolving loans, agent advances, swingline borrowings, unreimbursed drawings under letters of credit and the undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit exceeds at any time the lesser of (x) the then applicable borrowing base and (y) the then total effective commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility, in an amount equal to such excess. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period (defined in the New ABL Credit Facility as (a) any period commencing upon the date that availability shall have been less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Maximum Credit (which is the lesser of the maximum revolver amount in effect at such time and the borrowing base at such time) and (ii) $10.0 million for a period of five consecutive business days and continuing until the date on which availability shall have been at least the greater of (y) 12.5% of the Maximum Credit and (z) $10.0 million for 20 consecutive calendar days or (b) any period commencing on the occurrence of certain specified events of default, and continuing during the period that such specified event of default shall be continuing).

The New ABL Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, subject to customary exceptions, limitations on indebtedness, dividends, distributions and certain other payments, investments, acquisitions, prepayments of specified junior indebtedness, amendments of specified junior indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, liens, restrictive agreements, sale and leaseback transactions, changes in fiscal periods and changes in line of business.

We are required by the New ABL Credit Facility to maintain minimum liquidity of $5.0 million at all times. Additionally, when availability is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the maximum credit (which is the lesser of the maximum revolver amount in effect at such time and the borrowing base at such time) and (ii) $10.0 million and continuing until such time as availability has been in excess of such threshold for a period of 20 consecutive calendar days, we are required by the New ABL Credit Facility to maintain a springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New ABL Credit Facility) of at least 1.0 to 1.0, which is tested quarterly during such period. ProFrac LLC was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no existing defaults or events of default related to the New ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.

On July 25, 2022, the New ABL Credit Facility was amended to add an uncommitted $100.0 million incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”), under the terms of which existing lenders can make additional loans (in their sole discretion) under, or new lenders can join, the Incremental Facility and increase the potential size of the New ABL Credit Facility from $200 million to $300 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. All other terms and conditions of the New ABL Credit Facility remained substantially unchanged.

New Term Loan Credit Facility

On March 4, 2022, ProFrac LLC, ProFrac II LLC, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Term Loan Borrower”), and certain of the Term Loan Borrower’s wholly owned subsidiaries as obligors, entered into a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “New Term Loan Credit Facility”), with Piper Sandler Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Term Loan Agent”), and the lenders party thereto. The New Term Loan Credit Facility provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the New Term Loan Facility was paid down by $143.8 million with net proceeds from the IPO. As of June 30, 2022, the Term Loan Borrower had approximately $302.4 million outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Facility. The New Term Loan Credit Facility matures on March 4, 2025.

Borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Facility accrue interest at a percentage per annum equal to (a) until October 1, 2022, (i) for SOFR Rate Loans, 8.50%, and (ii) for Base Rate Loans, 7.50% and (b) thereafter, based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility), and the Term Loan Borrower may elect for loans to be based on either Adjusted Term SOFR or Base Rate, plus the applicable margin. The interest rate on the New Term Loan Credit Facility for (a) SOFR Rate Loans are the applicable margin plus the fluctuating per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility), with a SOFR floor of 1.00% and (b) Base Rate Loans are the applicable margin plus the fluctuating per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (ii) the interest rate quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section, as the prime rate in effect, (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month interest period as determined on such day, plus 1.0% and (iv) 2.00%.

Table of Contents

The applicable margin for (a) SOFR Rate Loans ranges from 6.50% to 8.00% and (b) Base Rate Loans ranges from 5.50% to 7.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) as of the first day of the then-current fiscal quarter.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility is guaranteed by ProFrac LLC and all of the Term Loan Borrower’s material existing subsidiaries and certain direct and indirect future U.S. restricted subsidiaries of the Term Loan Borrower. The New Term Loan Credit Facility is secured by a lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of each such guarantor’s assets, which consists of:

 

   

a perfected security interest in all present and after-acquired equipment, fixtures, fracturing equipment (in each case of the foregoing, specifically excluding Fracturing Equipment Parts), real estate, intellectual property, equity interests in all direct and indirect subsidiaries of any grantor, intercompany loans of the grantors and/or their subsidiaries, all other assets whether real, personal or mixed, to the extent not constituting ABL Priority Collateral, and, except to the extent constituting ABL Priority Collateral and to the extent evidencing or otherwise related to such items, all documents, general intangibles, instruments, investment property, commercial tort claims, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights and supporting obligations, all books, records and documents relating to, or arising from, any of the foregoing, in each case, except to the extent such proceeds constitute ABL Priority Collateral, any fixed asset priority

 

   

proceeds account and the proceeds of any of the foregoing, business interruption insurance proceeds and subject to customary exceptions and exclusions (collectively, the “Fixed Asset Priority Collateral”), which security interest is senior to the security interest in the foregoing assets securing the New ABL Credit Facility; and

 

   

a perfected security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, which security interest is junior to the security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral securing the New ABL Credit Facility.

The respective rights of the New Term Loan Credit Facility lenders and the New ABL Credit Facility lenders in the ABL Priority Collateral and the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral are governed by an intercreditor agreement between the Term Loan Agent and the ABL Agent.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to quarterly amortization beginning in June 2022, though any excess cash flow payments, reduce the required amortization.

Additionally, the New Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to a quarterly mandatory prepayment beginning for the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022 in an amount equal to the Applicable ECF Percentage (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility). The Applicable ECF Percentage ranges from 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) to 25% of Excess Cash Flow depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter. The New Term Loan Credit Facility is subject to customary mandatory prepayments, subject in some cases to the right of the Term Loan Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to reinvest such proceeds within a specified period of time, and certain other exceptions.

Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Facility are permitted at any time, in specified minimum principal amounts, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of SOFR Rate Loans other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. Between March 4, 2022 and March 4, 2023, certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Credit Facility are subject to a prepayment premium of 3.00% (or, in the case of any IPO Prepayment (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility), 2.00%). Between March 5, 2023 and March 4, 2024, certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Credit Facility are subject to a 2.00% prepayment premium. After March 4, 2024, but prior to the Stated Termination Date (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) certain prepayments of the New Term Loan Credit Facility are subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium. No payment or prepayment premium shall be due on account of any payments or prepayments made on the Stated Termination Date.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, subject to customary exceptions, limitations on indebtedness, dividends, distributions and certain other payments, investments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, prepayments of specified junior indebtedness, amendments of specified junior indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, dispositions, mergers and consolidations, liens, restrictive agreements, changes in fiscal periods and changes in line of business.

We are required by the New Term Loan Credit Facility to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) (i) of no more than 2.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2022, (ii) of no more than 1.55 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, and (iii) of no more than 1.25 for each fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2023 and thereafter.

The New Term Loan Credit Agreement prohibits Capital Expenditures (as defined in the New Term Loan Credit Facility) in excess of (i) in the case of the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2022, the greater of (x) $275,000,000 in the aggregate and (y) in the case of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending in such Fiscal Year, 50% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period most recently ended prior to the date of the applicable Capital Expenditure, and (ii) in the case of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending thereafter, commencing with the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on March 31, 2023, an aggregate amount equal to 50.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period most recently ended prior to the date of the applicable Capital Expenditure, provided that if the amount of the Capital Expenditures permitted to be made in any Fiscal Year is greater than the actual amount of the Capital Expenditures actually made in such Fiscal Year, then up to $20,000,000 of such excess amount may be carried forward to the next succeeding Fiscal Year.

The New Term Loan Credit Facility contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all loans to be immediately due and payable. Some events of default require an automatic termination of the loans and become immediately due and payable. We were in compliance with all covenants, and there were no defaults or events of default related to the New Term Loan Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2022.

On July 25, 2022, the New Term Loan Facility was amended to increase the size of the New Term Loan Facility by $150.0 million with an uncommitted option to obtain commitments for a potential additional $100.0 million of delayed draw loans before the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Merger and (ii) March 31, 2023. The maturity date of the New Term Loan Facility remains the same at March 4, 2025. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the increased New Term Loan Facility to fund the acquisition of Monahans and anticipates using the remainder of the proceeds and operating cash to facilitate the Merger, pay outstanding debt under the New ABL Credit Facility and/or for other general corporate purposes.

The First Financial Loan is subject to monthly principal amortization beginning in February 2022.

The First Financial Loan contains certain restrictive covenants which require ProFrac LLC to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, of no greater than 3.00:1.00, and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, of at least 1.00:1.00.

Equify Bridge Note

The Equify Bridge Note bears interest at a percentage per annum equal to 1.0%. Interest under the Equify Bridge Note is paid on a quarterly basis and is solely payable in kind, with such interest amounts being added to the outstanding principal amount of the Equify Bridge Note, until the date that both the New ABL Credit Facility and the New Term Loan Credit Facility shall have been terminated, after which date quarterly interest payments may be paid in kind or in cash. In April 2022, the Company repaid $25.0 million in principal under the Equify Bridge Note.

The Equify Bridge Note is unsecured and subordinated to the indebtedness owing under the New ABL Credit Facility and the New Term Loan Credit Facility.

Capital expenditures

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our capital expenditures were $116.1 million and $53.6 million, respectively. We currently expect our capital expenditures to increase in 2022 and 2023, which are expected to be funded with cash flows from operations. The primary drivers of the increase are building electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets, continued engine upgrades as part of our ESG initiatives, and deployment costs associated with reactivating hydraulic fracturing fleets.

Off-Balance sheet arrangements

From time-to-time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to off-balance sheet obligations. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into include undrawn letters of credit. We do not believe that these arrangements are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or availability of, or requirements for, capital resources.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptable in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our IPO Prospectus.

Listed below are the changes in our accounting policies that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved, and that we believe are critical to the understanding of our operations.

Variable Interest Entities

We evaluate our ownership, contractual and other interest in entities to determine if they are VIEs. We evaluate whether we have a variable interest in those entities and the nature and extent of those interests. Based on our evaluation, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the entity in our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Historically, our risks have been predominantly related to potential changes in the fair value of our long-term debt due to fluctuations in applicable market interest rates. Going forward our market risk exposure generally will be limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity price risk

Our material and fuel purchases expose us to commodity price risk. Our material costs primarily include the cost of inventory consumed while performing our pressure pumping services such as proppants, chemicals, trucking and fluid supplies. For our manufacturing segment, our material costs primarily include the cost of steel. For our proppant production segment, our material costs primarily include the cost of fuel. Our fuel costs consist primarily of diesel fuel used by our trucks, frac fleets and other motorized equipment. The prices for fuel and the raw materials in our inventory are volatile and are impacted by changes in supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty and regional shortages. Additionally, the market for our products and services is indirectly exposed to fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas to the extent such fluctuations impact well completion activity levels. Historically, we have generally been able to pass along price increases to our customers; however, we may be unable to do so in the future. We do not engage in commodity price hedging activities.

Interest rate risk

We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt from our New Term Loan Credit Facility and our New ABL Credit Facility. The Company also has fixed rate debt but does not currently utilize derivative instruments to manage the economic effect of changes in interest rates. The impact of a 1% increase in interest rates on our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022 would have resulted in an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $4.5 million.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are trade account receivables. We extend credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business. We have established various procedures to manage our credit exposure, including credit evaluations and maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executive Chairman (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Executive Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Limitations on Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Information with respect to this Item may be found in Note 17 – Commitments and contingencies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus. Except for the risk factors noted below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the IPO Prospectus and the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus, dated August 8, 2022, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on August 8, 2022 in connection with the resale of our Class A common stock by the selling shareholders named therein. In addition to the risk factors enumerated below, risk factors in our Prospectus, including without limitation risk factors that address risks relating to potential future acquisitions and risks relating to indebtedness, are implicated by the Merger and our expected financing needs in connection therewith.

Consummation of the Merger is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including approval by USWS’ stockholders, which may not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact our stock price, business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to conditions to closing that are not wholly within the Company’s control, including, among other things, adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of USWS Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. We cannot assure you that each of the conditions with respect to the Merger will be satisfied or waived in a timely manner, if at all, and the Merger may be delayed or not consummated. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived in a timely manner and the Merger is delayed or not consummated, we may lose some or all of the intended or perceived benefits of the Merger, which could cause our stock price to decline and harm our business.

We are also subject to additional risks in connection with the Merger, including, without limitation: (1) the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the Merger; (2) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (3) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Merger on our business relationships, operating results, and business generally; (4) risks that the Merger disrupts the Company’s current plans and operations; (5) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the Merger; (6) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or any of our affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger; (7) the restrictions imposed on our business and operations pursuant to any affirmative or negative covenants set forth in the documents relating to the Merger, and the potential impact of such covenants on our business; (8) the risk that the Merger will divert management’s attention resulting in a potential disruption of our current business plan; (9) potential difficulties in employee retention arising from the Merger; (10) the ability to obtain certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period (which has been satisfied); and (11) the ability to integrate acquired assets and personnel into our existing business model and realize the expected value of resulting operational synergies from the Merger.

We may be required to incur significant additional indebtedness in order to finance the Merger, which will limit our operating flexibility, and could adversely affect our operations and financial results and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations.

Although we expect to fund our obligations in connection with the Merger through the New Term Loan Credit Facility and/or the New ABL Credit Facility, available cash, additional loans and/or notes and cash flows generated from operations, we cannot assure that these sources will be sufficient, or that we will be able to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, or that our cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient, in order to satisfy our obligations in connection with the Merger, or otherwise.

Our ability to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing in order to satisfy our obligations in connection with the Merger will depend on, among other things, our financial condition at the time, restrictions in agreements governing our indebtedness, and other factors, including the financial condition of USWS, restrictions in agreements governing the indebtedness of that we are assuming, and the condition of the financial markets and the markets in which we compete. As a result, we cannot assure that we will be able to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, or that our cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient, in order to satisfy our obligations in connection with the Merger, or otherwise.

Table of Contents

To the extent we are able to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing, such level of indebtedness may:

 

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness;

 

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including increases in interest rates;

 

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, which would reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, expansion efforts and other general corporate purposes;

 

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

 

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

 

limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

In addition, the terms of any financing obligations to be incurred in connection with any refinancing of any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or additional financing are likely to contain covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain transactions and may impair our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions, including, among other things, limitations on our ability to:

 

incur additional indebtedness;

 

pay dividends and make distributions;

 

repurchase stock;

 

make certain investments;

 

create liens;

 

engage in transactions with affiliates;

 

merge with or acquire another company; and

 

transfer and sell assets.

Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by general economic conditions, political decisions, industry conditions and other events beyond our control. Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in any amended or new financing facilities could result in an event of default, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

If there were an event of default under our current, amended or new debt instruments (if any), the holders of such debt may be able to cause all amounts outstanding to be due and payable immediately and such event of default may be cross-defaulted to other debt. Our assets or cash flow may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under such debt instruments if accelerated upon an event of default, and there is no guarantee that we would be able to repay, refinance or restructure the payments under any such indebtedness.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service all of our obligations, including our obligations under our recently amended credit and other financing facilities.

Our ability to fund our various obligations in connection with the Merger, make payments on, refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing, including any indebtedness incurred to finance the Merger, and to fund planned capital expenditures, other strategic transactions and expansion efforts, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Our business may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, and we cannot assure that future borrowings will be available to us in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or any future indebtedness as such indebtedness matures and to fund our other liquidity needs. If this is the case, we will need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity, and we cannot assure that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We may need to implement one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying planned expenses and capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity or debt financing. These financing strategies may not be executed on satisfactory terms, if at all. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, and to do so on commercially reasonable terms, will depend on, among other things, our financial condition at the time, restrictions in agreements governing our indebtedness, and other factors, including the condition of the financial markets and the markets in which we will compete.

Table of Contents

If we do not generate sufficient cash flows from operations, and additional borrowings, refinancings or proceeds of asset sales are not available to us, we may not have sufficient cash to enable us to meet all of our obligations, including our various obligations in connection with the Merger.

Our financial results may be materially adversely affected by the inclusion of Flotek’s financial statements in our consolidated financial statements, and we do not have the benefit of Flotek’s cash or liquidity.

Due to our determination that Flotek is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, Flotek’s financial statements have been included in our consolidated financial statements from May 17, 2022. Consequently, our financial results may be materially adversely affected if Flotek reports poor or worsened financial results. In addition, we do not have the ability to access or deploy Flotek’s cash or liquidity in our operations, which may limit our ability to mitigate the impact of the inclusion of Flotek’s financial statements in our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Initial Public Offering

On May 12, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-261255), was declared effective in connection with the IPO, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 18,228,153 shares of our Class A Common Stock including the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $18.00 per share. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Piper Sandler & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as representatives of the underwriters. The IPO closed on May 17, 2022. The IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option generated combined net proceeds of approximately $303.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $15.2 million and offering expenses of $9.0 million. With the exception of $4.5 million to be paid to Wilks Brothers for IPO support services and activities including legal, tax, technology and accounting support, no payments for any offering expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates

The Company used $72.9 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to redeem the membership ownership interests from the then-existing owners of THRC FTSI Related Equity (as described in Note 14 – Acquisitions and investments in the notes to our consolidated financial statements) and contributed the remaining proceeds to ProFrac LLC. The Company used the remaining proceeds to (i) to pay down $143.8 million of the outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Facility, (ii) to fully pay the $22.0 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Backstop Note (iii) pay down $22.0 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Closing Date Note and (iv) pay down $20.8 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Equify Bridge Note. The Company currently intends to use the balance of the remaining proceeds for general corporate uses and additional repayment of debt.

Munger Ranch Sellers

As part of the IPO completed in May 2022, the sellers of Munger Ranch were issued 2,114,273 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the $30.0 million consideration related to the Munger Ranch purchase. The securities issued to the sellers of Munger Ranch were offered in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based on part on representations made by each of the sellers of Munger Ranch, including that each such seller is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

The information concerning mine safety violations and other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 5. Other Information.

The information regarding the deemed grants of stock-based compensation in Note 11—Stock-based compensation in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report is incorporated by reference herein.
