Insights

Corporate finance strategist

Sale converts a mid‑sized engineering unit into immediate cash and optional deferred consideration, supporting portfolio focus.

Mammoth sold Aquawolf for $30.0 million, receiving $23.5 million in cash at closing and placing $2.5 million into escrow for post‑closing adjustments and indemnities through at least December 1, 2026. Aquawolf grew revenue from $12.1 million in 2022 to $17.3 million in 2024 and produced $12.0 million of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which shows the divested unit carried recurring mid‑single‑digit operating profits in absolute dollars.

The transaction strengthens near‑term liquidity while leaving the company’s borrowing base unchanged and removing related collateral per the consent from Fifth Third Bank. Key risks include the escrow holdback and indemnity window through December 1, 2026, which could reduce net cash realized; monitor any disclosed post‑closing adjustments and actual escrow draws over the next 12 months. Watch reported use of proceeds and any follow‑on capital redeployments in the coming quarters for evidence that proceeds fund higher‑return activities rather than just cover legacy needs.

Sales Price of $30.0 million; Further Expands Deployment Opportunities

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mammoth Energy Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: TUSK) ("Mammoth" or the "Company") today announced that its subsidiary, Mammoth Energy Partners LLC, has completed a sale of all equity interests in its wholly owned subsidiary, Aquawolf LLC ("Aquawolf"), to Qualus, LLC for an aggregate sales price of $30.0 million, advancing the Company's ongoing transformation and portfolio optimization initiatives.

Aquawolf's revenue grew from $12.1 million in 2022 to $17.3 million in 2024, with net income rising from $1.1 million to $1.8 million over the same period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Aquawolf generated $12.0 million in revenue and $1.3 million in net income.

At closing, Mammoth Energy Partners LLC received total cash proceeds of $23.5 million. An additional $2.5 million was placed into escrow to fund post-closing adjustments for at least ninety days and indemnified liabilities until at least December 1, 2026.

In conjunction with the transaction described above, the Company entered into a consent and release agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third"), in which Fifth Third consented to the transaction and agreed to release associated collateral. The Company's borrowing base remains unchanged.

Mark Layton, Mammoth's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "This transaction provides another clear proof point of the strategic value we've unlocked this year. We entered the Engineering business in 2018 with one manager and a small initial investment, and over time built it into a team generating $17.3 million of revenue in 2024. Monetizing this business for approximately $30.0 million is a strong outcome and a credit to the people who built the business.

More importantly, this sale reinforces our belief that the underlying value across Mammoth is significantly disconnected from the current share price. We've shown an ability to build and monetize businesses organically, and we'll continue to deploy capital where it creates returns and supports long-term value for shareholders."
