Stimulation Services Q2 2026 revenue $430 million Segment revenues in the Stimulation Services business for Q2 2026
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure not presented in accordance with generally accepted"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Net Debt financial
"Net Debt is defined as total debt plus unamortized debt discounts, premiums, and issuance costs"
Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.
asset-based revolving credit facility financial
"replaced its existing $275 million asset-based revolving credit facility with a new $300 million"
A loan arrangement where a lender agrees to make funds available up to a set limit that a borrower can draw, repay, and draw again, with the amount available tied to the value of specific assets (like inventory, receivables, or equipment) pledged as collateral. It matters to investors because it provides flexible working capital while limiting risk exposure: the company can fund growth or cover shortfalls quickly, but borrowing capacity can shrink if asset values fall.
Tax receivable agreement liability financial
"Tax receivable agreement liability | | | 82.0 | | | | 82.0 |"
A tax receivable agreement liability is the recorded future obligation a company expects to pay under an agreement that shares tax savings generated after a corporate transaction. Think of it like promising to split a refund with a former owner: the company recognizes a future bill on its books that reduces cash available to shareholders and can affect valuation and debt capacity. Investors watch it because it represents a real, sometimes sizable, cash outflow tied to tax benefits realized over time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures financial
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are non-GAAP"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Revenue $498.1 million down from $501.9 million in Q2 2025
Net loss attributable to ProFrac $79.7 million improved from $108.0 million in Q2 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $69.4 million down from $78.6 million in Q2 2025
Free cash flow negative $7.9 million versus $54.4 million in Q2 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities $22.9 million compared with $96.7 million in Q2 2025
Guidance

The company expects third quarter 2026 Stimulation Services results to improve on second quarter performance, driven by pricing increases and steady utilization, and Proppant Production to be approximately flat on stable volumes amid competitive pricing pressure.

ProFrac Holding Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

 

WILLOW PARK, TX – August 6, 2026 – ProFrac Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: ACDC) (“ProFrac”, or the “Company”) today announced financial and operational results for its 2026 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

Second Quarter 2026 Results

 

·Total revenue was $498 million compared to first quarter revenue of $450 million

 

·Net loss was $75 million compared to net loss of $81 million in the first quarter

 

·Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $69 million compared to $54 million in the first quarter; 14% of revenue in the second quarter compared to 12% of revenue in the first quarter

 

·Net cash provided by operating activities was $23 million compared to $9 million in the first quarter

 

·Capital expenditures totaled $32 million compared to $41 million in the first quarter

 

·Free cash flow² was negative $8 million compared to negative $25 million in the first quarter

 

“Our second quarter results extended the momentum we built during the first quarter, 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. Volatility has defined the broader energy landscape in recent months, and if anything, we believe that only reinforces the structural case for domestic energy security as a durable tailwind for our business. At the same time, it's a reminder of why flexibility matters across every facet of our business,” 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 the third quarter in 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. High-spec fleets are in high demand and the market for that equipment continues to tighten. 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,” concluded Mr. Wilks.

Outlook

 

In Stimulation Services, ProFrac expects third quarter 2026 results to improve on second quarter performance, driven by pricing increases and steady utilization. RFP season conversations are also unfolding earlier than typical demonstrating potential equipment tightness into 2027.

 

In Proppant Production, ProFrac expects approximately flat results on stable volumes in the third quarter. The Company continues to navigate incremental competitive pricing pressure in the proppant market, particularly in West Texas, while remaining focused on operational improvements and leveraging the potential it sees in stronger markets, including the Haynesville and South Texas.

 

Business Segment Information

 

The Stimulation Services segment generated revenues of $430 million in the second quarter, which resulted in $39 million of Adjusted EBITDA and a margin of 9%.

Other Business Activities generated revenues of $3.6 million in the second quarter, which resulted in $0.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA and a margin of 11%.

Cash capital expenditures totaled $32 million in the second quarter, down from $41 million reported in first quarter 2026.

 

For full year 2026, ProFrac maintains its expectation that capital expenditures will be in the range of $155 million to $185 million, which includes Flotek’s current capital expenditure plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), net cash from operating activities, or GAAP measurements of debt, respectively, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt are supplemental measures utilized by our management and other users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess our financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team (such as income tax rates). We believe Free Cash Flow is an important supplemental liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions, and Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. We believe Net Debt is an important supplemental measure of indebtedness for management and investors because it provides a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents.

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) loss or gain on disposal of assets, net, (v) stock-based compensation, and (vi) other charges, such as certain credit losses, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss or gain on investments, acquisition and integration expenses, litigation expenses and accruals for legal contingencies, acquisition earnout adjustments, severance charges, goodwill impairments, gains on insurance recoveries, transaction costs, third-party supply commitment charges, lease termination costs, and impairments of long-lived assets. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by or (used in) operating activities less investment in property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale of assets.

 

Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow has important limitations as an analytical tool including that Free Cash Flow does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service our indebtedness and Free Cash Flow is not a reliable measure for actual cash available to the Company at any one time. Because Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this Non-GAAP Financial Measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

 

Net Debt is defined as total debt plus unamortized debt discounts, premiums, and issuance costs less cash and cash equivalents. Total debt is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to total debt. Net Debt has important limitations as a measure of indebtedness because it does not represent the total amount of indebtedness of the Company.

 

The presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. The following tables present a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.
