In 2025 the Company and Wilks Brothers agreed to settle the second, third and fourth quarter management fee payments under a service agreement in shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is calculated by dividing the management fee payment by the 10-day VWAP of common stock at the end of each quarter. Approximately $5.0 million of expenditures were recorded as stock-based compensation expense in 2025 related to this agreement.

In December 2025, we entered into an agreement with MG Bryan pursuant to which MG Bryan will provide equipment brokerage services to us on an as needed, commission basis.

In September 2025, we sold certain nonessential assets originally acquired from AST to Flying A in exchange for cash consideration of $3.4 million. The cash consideration received was $0.9 million greater than the carrying value of these assets. Because this sale was to an affiliate under common control, we accounted for the $0.9 million as an equity transaction recorded as a deemed contribution within our consolidated statements of changes in equity.

In September 2025, we entered into four lease agreements with Flying A to rent pressure pumping equipment at a monthly rental rate of $75,000 per lease. The leases had respective initial terms ending November 1, 2025, November 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2025, and continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated by us.

In April 2025, we entered into a contract with Wilks Construction to construct new facilities at our San Antonio Sand Mine.

In December 2024, we entered into a master agreement with MG Bryan, under which we have engaged MG Bryan to provide pump refurbishment services.

In December 2024, we entered into an equipment lease agreement with THRC. See “Note 5. Leases” for discussion.

In August 2024, we entered into a master purchase agreement with Flying A pursuant to which we periodically sell sand to Flying A. In August 2024, we also entered into a consignment agreement with Flying A pursuant to which we periodically sell parts and equipment.

In June 2024, we entered into a real estate lease agreement with a Related Lessor. See “Note 5. Leases” for discussion.

In June 2023 and January 2024, we arranged to sell certain surplus equipment and inventory components and to assign certain pre-orders for equipment to Flying A, at prices which are consistent with fair market value, for a total consideration of $36.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. We delivered $2.4 million, $12.6 million and $28.9 million of these components to Flying A in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect to deliver the remaining $0.8 million of product to Flying A in 2026. We accounted for the unapplied proceeds from these transactions as related party deposits presented as "Other current liabilities - related party" in our consolidated balance sheets.

In September 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with THRC Holdings, LP and FARJO Holdings, LP, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $50.0 million. THRC Holdings, LP and FARJO Holdings, LP are Wilks Parties. See “Note 9. Equity” for more information.

On January 11, 2023, the board of directors of ProFrac Corp. approved the appointment of Mr. Coy Randle, the then Chief Operating Officer of ProFrac Corp., to the board of directors of ProFrac Corp. Additionally, Mr. Randle entered into a consulting agreement with ProFrac Corp., effective as of January 13, 2023, pursuant to which Mr. Randle agreed to provide general operational advice to ProFrac Corp. and its direct and indirect operating subsidiaries for an annual fee of $0.2 million. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, ProFrac Corp. paid healthcare insurance premiums on behalf of Mr. Randle and allowed Mr. Randle to use a Company vehicle for the duration of the consulting agreement. The consulting agreement had a term of one year.
