Matt Wilks: Q2 Results Extend Strong Momentum, Expect Improvement in H2 2026
"Our Q2 results extended the momentum we built during Q1, reflecting the continued strength of our operating model and the discipline we've applied throughout this cycle against a market backdrop that was broadly stronger sequentially," stated Executive Chairman Matt Wilks. "We believe we are well positioned for the future, given the tighter market backdrop and growing operator demand for higher-specification equipment after years of attrition in the industry. We're seeing pricing increases layering in for Q3in hydraulic fracturing, and we're taking a thoughtful, disciplined approach in the back half of the year and into RFP season, which is commencing very early this year. We believe these factors will drive improvement in our frac calendar in the back half of 2026. We remain committed to our cost optimization program, and our continued investment in differentiated technology strengthens the value we deliver to customers and supports our returns through the cycle. To that end, we continue to execute on our fleet upgrade program to allow us to lean further into the momentum we see building in the industry. We believe the investments we're making today position us well through the balance of the year and beyond".
Matt Wilks: Q1 2026 Results Exceed Expectations, Adjusted EBITDA Down by Approximately $9 Million
"Our first quarter 2026 results exceeded expectations despite weather-related disruptions early in the period, which reduced Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $9 million," stated Executive Chairman, Matt Wilks. "While the quarter got off to a slow start, market dynamics shifted meaningfully beginning in late February-early March, with improving operator sentiment and accelerating activity levels. Our Stimulation Services team delivered record efficiency levels in March. This demonstrates the strength of our operational execution and allowed us to exit the quarter with continued momentum. Given the inflection in utilization, strong efficiencies and limited available capacity, we are in active dialogues with operators regarding balanced pricing following a persistent period of declines."

Oil Prices Rise Due to Middle East Conflict, 2026 Plan Progressing Well
"Harsh winter weather conditions resulted in disruptions to our 2026 start; however, momentum has been building as conditions improved. Looking at the broader completions landscape, activity today is running below levels needed to sustain flat shale production. Additionally, capital discipline across the industry has set the stage for meaningful supply-demand tightening as activity picks up. Lastly, oil prices have strengthened as a result of ongoing supply disruptions due to the conflict in the Middle East, which could necessitate a higher call on US oil production. We are pleased to report strong progress on our business optimization plan targeting implemented annualized savings of $100 million at the midpoint by the end of the second quarter of 2026. We are on track with our prior target on capital expenditure savings. Labor-related savings have been fully implemented. Non-labor operating expenses are progressing in line with our plan. Alongside these cost initiatives, our technology differentiation continues to be a key focus," concluded Wilks.
