Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Current report
Revenues were $320.5 million and tons sold were approximately 5,139,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $244.1 million, during which time we sold approximately 3,965,000 tons of sand. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 also included $4.4 million of contractual charges for tons sold in excess of certain contractual thresholds in a prior period that were not recognizable under ASC 606 until that period, which did not recur during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were higher primarily due to a 30% increase in sales volumes and sand pricing that was slightly higher in the current period. The increase in sales volumes was driven by higher frac sand demand associated with increased natural gas demand to support increased LNG export capacity.

We directly control five in-basin transloading facilities and have access to third party transloading terminals in substantially all operating basins. These terminals allow us to offer more efficient and sustainable delivery options to our customers. We operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin. We also serve the Appalachian Basin through three company-controlled terminals. In January 2022, we began operations at a unit train capable transloading terminal in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, which we expanded in 2023. In December 2023, we acquired the right to operate a terminal in Minerva, Ohio and in January 2024, we acquired the right to operate a terminal in Dennison, Ohio. These two Ohio terminals became operational in 2024. In September 2025, we completed the expansion of our terminal in Dennison, Ohio. We also have rights to use a rail terminal located in El Reno, Oklahoma. Additionally, we have long-standing relationships with third party terminal operators that allow us access to substantially all oil and natural gas exploration production basins of North America.

Our historical results of operations and cash flows may not be indicative of results of operations and cash flows to be expected in the future. Events such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, rapidly changing trade policies between the United States and other countries, the management of strategic petroleum reserves in various countries, and periodic output changes by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may affect oil and natural gas prices and create volatility in the oilfield service sector. Recent U.S. actions in Iran and Venezuela have added uncertainty to global crude supply, pricing and market dynamics, which may indirectly affect demand for frac sand and related services. Anticipated increasing demand for natural gas in North America to support increased LNG export capacity and power generation needs for new data center development may impact the demand for frac sand.

Previous wording
During the first half of 2026, we experienced an increase in the volume of sand sold as customers increased their activity. There have also been modest sand pricing fluctuations over the periods presented, but we believe the fluctuation is consistent with other products in the oilfield services sector. We believe the demand for frac sand will continue to increase, driven by long-term demand for natural gas in North America and continued efforts by oil and natural gas producers to increase the efficiency of well completions and the increased production per well completed, which is leading to increased volume of sand per linear foot of lateral well. Frac sand demand may also increase over the next five years due to higher levels of drilling and completion of natural gas wells to supply natural gas for increased export capacity of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and increased power demand for data centers. North American LNG export capacity is currently expected to grow by over 50% by 2030. Artificial intelligence (“AI”) facilities are being planned in various locations across North America, including near the Marcellus region. Developers of AI facilities are looking for locations near existing natural gas wells, water, infrastructure and labor to be able to directly source some of their power supply needs. We are watching AI and LNG export capacity growth closely as a potential long-term driver of demand for our frac sand products and logistical services.

Previous wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our effective tax rate was approximately 0.5% and 6643.1%, respectively. We are required to record our interim period income tax expense (benefit) in accordance with GAAP, which requires that we estimate our full year effective tax rate and apply that rate to the net income for the period. Our effective tax rate includes modifications from the statutory rate for items such as income tax credits, tax depletion deduction, valuation allowance, and state taxes, among other items. The biggest driver of our income tax expense (benefit) is our depletion deduction calculation, which is not directly related to the net income of our Company. This tax deduction has an equally large effect on our income tax rate, which is the basis for the quarterly income tax expense (benefit) calculation. We do not expect to be a payer of federal income tax in 2026 and we expect to pay an immaterial amount of state income taxes in 2026. Because of the difference between income tax recorded on a GAAP basis and the cash taxes we expect to pay, we use additional non-GAAP performance measures of contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to evaluate our results of operations.

We believe that our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.
