ProPetro Signs New Contracts with Targa for 230 MW Power Capacity
ProPetro Holding (PUMP) announced that its PROPWR business unit has entered into new contracts with a subsidiary of Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) for which PROPWR will commit approximately 230 megawatts of power generation capacity. With the addition of these contracts, total capacity committed under contract for PROPWR now stands at approximately 510 MW, which also reflects previously announced oil and gas power capacity that is no longer committed under contract. This recontracting allows PROPWR to redeploy the associated capacity to Targa and to make additional megawatts available for potential data center deployments in 2027 and beyond. These long-term contracts will provide behind-the-meter power to support Targa's continued investment in natural gas processing infrastructure in the Permian Basin, with full deployment expected in early 2028.
ProPetro Announces Dual Listing on NYSE Texas
ProPetro Holding announced the dual listing of its common stock on NYSE Texas, the newly launched fully electronic equities exchange headquartered in Dallas, Texas. ProPetro will maintain its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange and trade with the same "PUMP" ticker symbol on NYSE Texas.
ProPetro Q2 Revenue $306M Beats Expectations
Reports Q2 revenue $306M, consensus $304.91M. Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "ProPetro's second quarter results once again demonstrate the strength of our business model. While our results were negatively impacted by a few items during the quarter, including upfront costs associated with standing up our twelfth fleet, a temporary out-of-basin fleet deployment that experienced significant unexpected downtime, and severe weather interrupting our operations across the Permian Basin in June, the underlying performance of the business remained strong. Even with these impacts, our completions business generated resilient free cash flow, a clear demonstration that the industrialized model we have built is working. As we look ahead, we remain encouraged by what we are seeing across our completions business. While uncertainty remains around the broader macro environment and the subsequent impacts from the Iran War, the market continues to tighten as industry attrition has meaningfully reduced available frac capacity. Combined with disciplined capital allocation across the sector, these dynamics are creating a more constructive supply and demand environment and contributing to early pricing momentum. We are also seeing this momentum reflected in increased drilling activity, with the Permian Basin rig count up nearly 10% off its first-quarter low, as operators respond to improving conditions, a leading indicator that supports the recovery we are seeing in completions. Our confidence in a more favorable operating environment going forward is also reflected in our decision to activate a thirteenth fleet, which we expect to begin contributing toward the end of the third quarter. PROPWR also continues to build meaningful momentum. Since our last earnings update, we have significantly increased our power generation capacity committed under contract to approximately 350 megawatts, while continuing to advance opportunities across the data center, oil and gas, and industrial markets. Importantly, we are no longer simply building a commercial pipeline, we now have assets successfully operating in the field and meeting performance obligations, strengthening our commercial position and providing customers with tangible examples of our execution capabilities. We believe ProPetro is well positioned with two complementary growth platforms: an increasingly constructive completions business and a rapidly expanding PROPWR platform. Supported by a strong balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation and an exceptional team, we remain confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders."
PROPWR Secures Contracted Capacity of 350 Megawatts
Sledge commented, "PROPWR continued to build meaningful momentum throughout the quarter, highlighted by significant recent commercial progress. Our team continues to execute on our commercial strategy, converting opportunities into contracted capacity. Since our last update, we have an incremental approximately 110 megawatts of power generation capacity committed under contract across two separate projects, one supporting a leading integrated upstream operator in the Permian Basin, and another supporting an industrial customer, bringing our total capacity committed under contract to approximately 350 megawatts. We are also engaged in advanced contract negotiations for over 100 megawatts in the oil and gas arena, and continue advancing negotiations across multiple data center commercial opportunities, including a subset of several hundred megawatts in advanced discussions. Our recently announced strategic framework agreement with Caterpillar remains an important part of our commercial strategy by securing long-term access to approximately 2.1 additional gigawatts of power generation capacity over the next five years, positioning PROPWR with up to approximately 2.6 gigawatts of power generation capacity planned to be delivered by year-end 2031. Importantly, we will continue to focus on execution as we operationalize and scale PROPWR with a focus on building a strong foundation that supports long-term growth and value creation. Our commercial progress across every end market is encouraging, and our confidence in the data center opportunity has never been stronger. With assets now deployed and operating on a data center site supporting a leading hyperscaler operator, and a robust pipeline, we remain confident in our expectation to deploy the majority of our future power capacity to data center customers. At the same time, our expanding presence in the oil and gas and industrial sectors complements those longer-term data center opportunities by providing attractive near-term returns, and we expect to secure additional contracts across all of these end markets as we extend and deepen relationships with both new and existing partners. Notably, while contract terms on these oil and gas and industrial agreements are generally shorter in duration than those PROPWR is pursuing in the data center arena, the pricing and expected annual returns are attractive and accretive to the overall return profile of the PROPWR business as it continues to scale. As we continue to deploy capital to grow PROPWR, we are proud of the work we have done to position ProPetro's capital structure to support that growth. From a financing perspective, we have now raised approximately $1.5 billion over the past eighteen months to help fund PROPWR's growth, including our highly successful offering of $690 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes, completed in May, which resulted in 0% coupon notes with no dilution for shareholders until the stock price reaches $29.49 per share after taking the effect of the associated capped call transaction into account. Going forward, we will approach future capital decisions opportunistically as we continue expanding our commercial footprint and executing against our strategy."
Company Anticipates 2026 Capital Expenditures to Range Between $525 Million and $595 Million
The Company anticipates full-year 2026 capital expenditures incurred to be between $525 million and $595 million, down from the $540 million to $610 million range highlighted in the Company's first quarter earnings report. Of this, the completions business is expected to account for approximately $125 million to $145 million, down from the prior $140 million to $160 million range. The reduction in expected completions capital expenditures is primarily attributable to the timing of the Company's planned FORCE electric fleet buyouts. Prior guidance contemplated at least two fleet buyouts during 2026; the Company now expects to complete its first planned buyout this year, at a cost of between $15 million and $20 million, with the second shifting into early 2027. This timing change does not alter the Company's long-term capital allocation strategy or its intent to ultimately purchase all five FORCE electric fleets. Also, as a reminder, the Completions business guidance range includes capital reserved for refurbishing a portion of the existing Tier IV DGB fleet, investments in fleet automation technology, as well as measured investments in direct drive gas frac units. The Company continues to see strong customer demand for its next-generation gas-burning fleet portfolio and believes these investments further strengthen its long-term competitive position. Additionally, the Company anticipates incurring capital expenditures of approximately $400 million to $450 million for its PROPWR business in 2026, consistent with prior guidance. This guidance includes equipment deliveries as well as down payments for equipment associated with the Company's strategic framework agreement with Caterpillar. Notably, the Company's previous guidance of approximately $1.4 million to $1.5 million per megawatt inclusive of balance of plant remains unchanged. While these PROPWR capital expenditure estimates reflect the total cost of the equipment, they do not reflect the impact of financing arrangements, which have and are expected to continue reducing the near-term actual cash outflows required from the Company. The Company currently expects to activate its thirteenth active frac fleet later this quarter, reflecting increasing customer demand and improving fundamentals across the Permian completions market. Pertaining to PROPWR, the Company's primary focus for the remainder of 2026 continues to be the successful deployment and scaling of PROPWR assets across its contracted customer base. By emphasizing disciplined execution and actively de-risking deployments during this period, the Company is positioning PROPWR for long-term growth. This strategic approach is expected to establish a strong operational foundation, enabling PROPWR to begin delivering positive and increasingly meaningful earnings in the second half of 2026 and into 2027.
