Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SOI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), a leading independent provider of supply chain management and logistics solutions designed to drive efficiencies and reduce costs for the oil and natural gas industry, today reported financial results for the first quarter 2021.

Operational Update and Outlook

During the first quarter of 2021, an average of 52 mobile proppant management systems were fully utilized, which was a 24% increase versus the fourth quarter of 2020. The sequential increase in first quarter 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in completions activity across the Lower 48. The winter storm that disrupted much of Texas-based activity in February had minimal impact on the number of fully utilized systems in the quarter, but had a transitory impact on revenue and gross profit per system.

“The Solaris team executed strongly and safely as activity continued to recover during the first quarter,” Solaris’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Zartler commented. “We are excited about the interest level in our recently announced new technology developments and look forward to sharing additional technology introductions as the year unfolds. As always, we are committed to preserving our balance sheet strength and maximizing both cash flow and returns on capital as we continue to help our customers drive efficiencies through new technology.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Review

Solaris reported net loss of $1.9 million, or $(0.04) per diluted Class A share, for first quarter 2021, compared to first quarter 2020 net loss of $33.2 million, or $(0.65) per diluted Class A share. Adjusted pro forma net loss for first quarter 2021 was $1.6 million, or $(0.04) per fully diluted share, compared to first quarter 2020 adjusted pro forma net income of $7.7 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share. A description of adjusted pro forma net income and a reconciliation to net income attributable to Solaris, its most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are provided below.

Revenues were $28.7 million for first quarter 2021, which were up 13% from fourth quarter 2020 and down 40% compared to first quarter 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for first quarter 2021 was $6.1 million, compared to fourth quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million and $18.0 million in first quarter 2020. A description of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.

Capital Expenditures, Free Cash Flow and Liquidity

Capital expenditures in the first quarter 2021 were $2.6 million compared to capital expenditures of $1.8 million during fourth quarter 2020. The Company expects capital expenditures for the full year 2021 to be between $10.0 and $15.0 million compared to the prior guidance of $5.0 and $10.0 million. The increase is primarily driven by incremental investments in new technology.

Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less investment in property, plant and equipment) during first quarter 2021 was $0.1 million, which represented the ninth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow for the Company.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $55.1 million of cash on the balance sheet, which reflects about $1.23 per fully diluted share of available cash. The Company’s credit facility remains undrawn, and total liquidity, including availability under the credit facility, was $90.1 million as of the end of the first quarter 2021.

Shareholder Returns

On March 5, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.105 per share of Class A common stock, which was paid on March 25, 2021 to holders of record as of March 15, 2021. A distribution of $0.105 per unit was also approved for holders of units in Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure, LLC (“Solaris LLC”). Since initiating the dividend in December 2018, the Company has paid 10 consecutive quarterly dividends. Cumulatively, the Company has returned approximately $78 million in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases since December 2018.

About SOI

• solaris oilfield infrastructure (nyse: soi) is focused on driving logistics and cost efficiencies for operators and service companies during the life cycle of oil and gas wells • the shale development has entered a new stage of evolution, whereby operational efficiencies have become the key differentiator for premier operators and service companies • on site operations (multi well pads, advanced rig moving technologies, quicker concurrent multi-well completions, on-site material handling, measurement and product value recovery) • supply chain management • logistical challenges have increased as operators are not only pumping more proppant per stage, but multi-basin development campaigns are yielding faster drilling and completion times, driving disproportionate proppant consumption and putting additional stress on existing infrastructure • soi is focused on addressing these industry challenges through its product offerings: o mobile sand silos for well site storage and delivery o mob
