Organization and description of business

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 holding company providing hydraulic fracturing, proppant production, other completion services and other complementary products and services to leading upstream oil and natural gas companies engaged in the exploration and production (“E&P”) of North American unconventional oil and natural gas resources.

ProFrac Corp. operates in three business segments: Stimulation Services, Proppant Production and Manufacturing. Our Stimulation Services segment owns and operates a fleet of mobile hydraulic fracturing units and other auxiliary equipment that generates revenue by providing stimulation services to our customers. Our Proppant Production segment provides proppant to oilfield service providers and E&P companies. Our Manufacturing segment sells highly engineered, tight tolerance machined, assembled, and factory tested products such as high horsepower pumps, valves, piping, swivels, large-bore manifold systems, and fluid ends.

Mr. Dan Wilks and Mr. Farris Wilks are brothers and are the founders and principal stockholders of the Company. Their sons, Mr. Matthew D. Wilks and Mr. Johnathan Ladd Wilks are the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions with related parties where Mr. Dan Wilks and Mr. Farris Wilks and entities owned by or affiliated with them (collectively, the "Wilks Parties") hold a controlling financial interest. Under Nasdaq rules and the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy, our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing all related party transactions. Under the policy, potential related party transactions are subject to approval by the Audit Committee in advance or, in certain circumstances, ratification by the Audit Committee, in each case if such transactions satisfy the terms and conditions set forth in the policy. See "Note 14. Related Party Transactions" for further information.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of ProFrac Corp. and those of its subsidiaries that are wholly owned, controlled by it or a variable interest entity ("VIE") where it is the primary beneficiary. Unless the context requires otherwise, the use of the terms "Company," "we," "us," "our" or "ours" in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements refer to ProFrac Corp., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair statement of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Annual Report.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Concentration of Risk and Liquidity Update

Our business activities are concentrated in the well completion services segment of the oilfield services industry in the United States. The market for these services is cyclical, and we depend on the willingness of our customers to make operating and capital expenditures to explore for, develop, and produce oil and natural gas in the United States. The willingness of our customers to undertake these activities depends largely upon prevailing industry conditions that are predominantly influenced by current and expected prices for oil and natural gas. Historically, a low commodity-price environment has caused our customers to significantly reduce their hydraulic fracturing activities and the prices they are willing to pay for those services. During such periods, these customer actions materially adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Beginning in April 2025, many of our customers began reducing their activity levels as a result of a depressed commodity price environment, and our results of operations and operating cash flows correspondingly began to decline. The third quarter results reflected continued challenging market conditions, with improvement mid-period giving way to an unexpected decline in conditions toward quarter-end. To ensure that we have sufficient near-term liquidity during a prolonged depressed commodity environment, we have executed the following initiatives to optimize the cost structure of the business with a focus on operational efficiency:

increased liquidity by issuance of common stock in August 2025, which generated net proceeds of $79.0 million;
increased liquidity by selling an intercompany note receivable from Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek") in November 2025 to PC Energy Credit I LLC, an affiliate of the Wilks Parties and a related party to the Company, generating net proceeds of approximately $40.0 million, which amounted to the entire principal amount of the note, plus accrued and unpaid interest;
obtained lender commitments to purchase an additional $40.0 million of 2029 Senior Notes, at the Company's option, in December 2025;
pursuing capital in the form of incremental debt targeting up to $40.0 million;
reduced our direct and indirect labor costs;
reduced our selling, general and administrative expenses by reducing headcount and eliminating certain non-labor related costs; and
identified areas to enhance operating efficiencies, to reduce operating expenses, and to reduce capital expenditures.

Additionally, the Company also is actively pursuing other sources of capital in the form of non-collateralized asset sales.

If these actions are successful, we believe our cost structure and liquidity will be better positioned for the long term and we believe that our sources of liquidity and our cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures, satisfy our obligations, and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants for at least the next 12 months. However, there is no assurance that we can complete all of these actions or that these actions, if completed, will result in the cost savings or liquidity enhancements that we expect. If that is the case, then we will need to identify additional liquidity enhancements, which may include selling assets or seeking additional sources of capital. There can be no assurance that any such additional liquidity enhancements will be available, or if available, that they will be on terms acceptable to us or our stakeholders.

Correction of an Immaterial Error on Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company identified and corrected an error in our accounting for certain transaction costs capitalized as property, plant and equipment at Flotek for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, this error understated other operating expenses by $3.7 million and overstated property, plant and equipment by the same amount.

We evaluated whether our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2025, were materially misstated due to these errors. Based upon our evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors, we concluded that the effects of these errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to these previously reported periods. Accordingly, we will report the corrected amounts for June 30, 2025, when presented in future financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, effective retrospectively for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and interim reporting period starting the first quarter of 2025. This ASU enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in the Company's annual and interim consolidated financial statements. As a result of this adoption, the Company's segment disclosure now includes significant expense categories. The Company's primary segment measure remains unchanged. See “Note 13. Business Segments” for the enhanced disclosures associated with the adoption of this ASU.

Recently Issued Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU provides for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which enhances the disclosures for certain expense captions in the Company's annual and interim consolidated financial statements. This ASU is effective prospectively or retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments --Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for calculating current expected credit losses on accounts receivable and current contract assets. This ASU permits a reporting entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the assets. The ASU is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to elect the practical expedient provided by the ASU and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.
