In April 2025, Flotek acquired certain gas conditioning equipment from our Stimulation Services segment for total consideration of $107.5 million and our Stimulation Services segment leased these assets back from Flotek for a six year term.

The effects of this sale-leaseback transaction have been eliminated from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement with Beal Bank USA and Wilks Brothers, LLC (collectively, the “2029 Senior Notes Purchasers”), which is a Wilks Party, whereby we have agreed to issue and sell $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) in a private placement.

Previous report
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:
Previous report
increased liquidity by issuance of common stock in August 2025, which generated net proceeds of $79.0 million;
Previous report
increased liquidity by selling an intercompany note receivable from 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;

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

Our business depends on the willingness of E&P companies to make expenditures to explore for, develop, and produce oil and natural gas in the United States. The willingness of E&P companies to undertake these activities is predominantly influenced by current and expected future prices for oil and natural gas. Beginning in April 2025, oil commodity prices decreased from their near-term average through the first quarter of 2025 with increased volatility. As a result, many of our customers began reducing their activity levels and our results of operations and operating cash flows correspondingly declined compared to the same periods in 2024. The third quarter results reflected continued challenging market conditions, with improvement mid-period giving way to an unexpected decline in conditions toward quarter-end. As described below, we are taking or have taken a number of actions to improve our liquidity. We currently expect our results of operations in the fourth quarter to increase relative to the third quarter. We remain focused on financial and operational discipline and optimizing our asset base, and are executing initiatives that are designed to enhance the resiliency of the platform. While we have limited visibility for future demand for our products and services, we are encouraged by customer engagement around 2026 planning.

Flotek recorded contract shortfall revenue of $8.7 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $23.9 million and $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to contract shortfalls with the Stimulation Services segment.

Current wording

These decreases were primarily due to lower labor costs resulting from cost control measures and reduced incentive compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by increased expense at Flotek. The decrease for the first nine months of 2025 was also partially offset by increased labor and facility costs related to our acquisitions of BPC, AST and NRG in the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, management fees of $3.5 million owed to Wilks Brothers, LLC was reclassified to stock-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2025 as a result of an agreement to settle certain management fee payments by issuing common stock.
Current wording
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $10.0 million, or 19%, from the same period in 2025.

The net change in the first nine months of 2025 was primarily due to the $10.5 million loss on disposal of EKU Power Drives in the second quarter of 2025, which was partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of our Munger make-whole provision in the first quarter of 2025.
