CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “preliminary,” “forecast,” and similar expressions or variations are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, in this Quarterly Report and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:
| ● | global economic distress, including that resulting from the sustained Russia-Ukraine war and related economic sanctions, instability and continued hostilities in the Middle East, including military conflict involving Iran, instability in Venezuela, economic uncertainty as a result of changing trade policies, disruptions in global oil and gas markets and inflation and high interest rates, each of which may decrease demand for oil and natural gas or contribute to volatility in the prices for oil and natural gas, which may decrease demand for our services; |
| ● | actions taken by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries, “OPEC+”) with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the ability of the OPEC+ countries to agree on and comply with announced supply limitations, which may be exacerbated by military conflict in the Middle East involving Iran and the resumption of sales of previously sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Russia; |
| ● | impacts related to changing United States (“U.S.”) and foreign trade policies, including increased trade restrictions or tariffs, the impact of changes in diplomatic and trade relations, and the results of countermeasures and any tariff mitigation initiatives; |
| ● | changes in global political or economic conditions, generally, and in the markets we serve, including the rate of inflation and potential economic recession; |
| ● | changes in safety, health, environmental and other governmental policy and regulation; |
| ● | the enactment or promulgation of new laws or regulations or changes or modifications in existing laws, regulations, rules or governmental policies with respect to taxation; |
| ● | the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by oil and gas companies in response to changes in commodity prices or reduced demand; |
| ● | the impact of central bank policy actions and disruptions in the bank and capital markets; |
4
Table of Contents
| ● | the potential deterioration of our customers’ financial condition, including defaults resulting from actual or potential insolvencies; |
| ● | the degree to which consolidation among our customers may affect spending on U.S. drilling and completions, including the recent consolidation in the Permian Basin; |
| ● | trends and volatility in oil and gas prices, and our ability to manage through such volatility; |
| ● | the impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations and policies, including those related to accessing water, disposing of wastewater, transferring produced water, interstate freshwater and produced water transfer, chemicals, carbon pricing, pipeline construction, emissions, hydraulic fracturing, leasing, permitting or drilling on federal lands and various other environmental matters; |
| ● | the ability to source certain raw materials and other critical components or manufactured products globally on a timely basis from economically advantaged sources, including any delays and/or supply chain disruptions; |
| ● | regional impacts to our business, including our key infrastructure assets within the Permian Basin, the Bakken, and the Haynesville regions; |
| ● | capacity constraints on regional oil, natural gas and water gathering, processing and pipeline systems that result in a slowdown or delay in drilling and completion activity, and thus a decrease in the demand for our services in our core markets; |
| ● | the impact of regulatory and related policy actions by federal, state and/or local governments, such as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”), which may negatively impact the future production of oil and gas in the U.S., thereby reducing demand for our services; |
| ● | our ability to hire and retain key management and employees, including skilled labor; |
| ● | our access to capital to fund expansions, acquisitions and our working capital needs and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms, or at all; |
| ● | our health, safety and environmental performance; |
| ● | the impact of competition on our operations; |
| ● | the degree to which our Exploration and Production (“E&P”) customers may elect to operate their water-management services in-house rather than source these services from companies like us; |
| ● | our level of indebtedness and our ability to comply with covenants contained in our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility (as defined herein) or future debt instruments; |
| ● | delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us or our customers; |
| ● | constraints in supply or availability of equipment used in our business; |
| ● | the impact of advances or changes in well-completion technologies or practices that result in reduced demand for our services, either on a volumetric or time basis; |
5
Table of Contents
| ● | acts of terrorism, war or political or civil unrest in the U.S. or elsewhere, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the instability and continued hostilities in the Middle East, including military conflict involving Iran and any potential conflict with Venezuela; |
| ● | information technology failures or cyberattacks; |
| ● | accidents, weather, natural disasters or other events affecting our business; and |
| ● | the other risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the headings “Part I—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report. |
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. Our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Part I―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Part II―Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note.

accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.
This Quarterly Report relates to the three months ended March 31, 2026 (the “Current Quarter”) and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the “Prior Quarter”). The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026, includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report. All material adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. The results for the Current Quarter may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and all of its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation, amortization and accretion, allowance for credit losses, inventory reserve, income taxes, self-insurance liabilities, share-based compensation, contingent liabilities, lease-related reasonably certain option exercise assessments, the incremental borrowing rate for leases and the fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”). The Company bases its estimates on historical and other pertinent information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.
Allowance for credit losses: The Company’s allowance for credit losses relates to trade accounts receivable. The Company treats trade accounts receivable as one portfolio and records an initial allowance calculated as a percentage of revenue recognized based on a combination of historical information and future expectations. Additionally, the Company adjusts this allowance based on specific information in connection with aged receivables. Historically, most credit losses have been incurred when a customer’s financial condition significantly deteriorates, which in some cases leads to bankruptcy. Market volatility is highly uncertain and, as such, the impact on expected losses is subject to judgment and may cause variability in the Company’s allowance for credit losses in future periods.
The change in the allowance for credit losses is as follows:

2025 Business Combination with Omni
On July 1, 2025, the Company acquired certain assets and operations of Omni Environmental Solutions (“Omni”) in the Bakken region. The acquired assets include:
| ● | A solids waste landfill with approximately |
| ● | A processing, recovery, and disposal facility for reclaiming diesel and other hydrocarbons from oilfield waste streams; |
| ● |
| ● | A commercial oil storage tank farm with total capacity of approximately |
The purchase consideration included (i) $
This acquisition enhances the Company’s Water Infrastructure segment by expanding landfill and disposal capacity in the Bakken and introducing new service offerings. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. The Company engaged third-party valuation experts to assist in the purchase price allocation for the net assets received. These estimates, judgments, assumptions and valuation of the property and equipment acquired, current assets, current liabilities and long-term liabilities have not been finalized as of March 31, 2026. The business combination accounting is preliminary due to continuing efforts to reach an agreement on a pre-existing matter related to certain acquired assets. The Company also used a third-party analysis for the valuation of property and equipment divested, which resulted in a $

NOTE 4—REVENUE
The Company follows ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for most revenue recognition, which provides a five-step model for determining revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model only to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customer. The accommodations and rentals revenue continues to be guided by ASC 842 – Leases, which is discussed further below.
The following factors are applicable to the Company’s segments for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter:
| ● | The vast majority of Water Services and Chemical Technologies customer agreements are short-term, lasting less than one year. Water Infrastructure contains both short-term and long-term agreements. |
17
Table of Contents
| ● | Contracts are seldom combined together as virtually all of our customer agreements constitute separate performance obligations. Each job or project is typically distinct, thereby not interdependent or interrelated with other customer agreements. |
| ● | Most contracts allow either party to terminate at any time without substantive penalties. If the customer terminates the contract, the Company is unconditionally entitled to the payments for the services rendered and products delivered to date. This largely applies to Water Services and Chemical Technologies. |
| ● | Contract terminations before the end of the agreement are rare. |
| ● | Sales returns are rare and no sales return assets have been recognized on the balance sheet. |
| ● | There are minimal volume discounts. |
| ● | There are no service-type warranties. |
| ● | There is no long-term customer financing. |
| ● | Taxes assessed by government authorities included on customer invoices are excluded from revenue. |
In the Water Infrastructure and Water Services segments, performance obligations arise in connection with services provided to customers in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount the Company expects to collect. Services are generally sold based on customer orders or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenues are generated by services rendered and measured based on the output generated, which is usually simultaneously received and consumed by customers at their job sites. As a multi-job site organization, contract terms, including the pricing for the Company’s services, are negotiated on a job site level on a per-job basis. Most jobs are completed in a short period of time, usually between one day and one month. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are completed on a daily, hourly or per-unit basis with unconditional rights to consideration for services rendered reflected as accounts receivable trade, net of allowance for credit losses. In cases where a prepayment is received before the Company satisfies its performance obligations, a contract liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Final billings generally occur once all of the proper approvals are obtained. Mobilization and demobilization are factored into the pricing for services. Billings and costs related to mobilization and demobilization are not material for customer agreements that start in one period and end in another. The Company recognizes revenue from certain sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery occurs as directed by the customer.
Within the Water Infrastructure segment, we have contracts containing acreage dedications, areas of mutual interest (“AMIs”), wellbore dedications and minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”). Acreage dedications are longer term contracts pursuant to which a customer dedicates certain activities or volumes to Select within a defined set of the customer’s leased acreage, typically committing to us all water demanded by future wells they complete or produced from current and future wells that they operate, and we commit to provide, gather, recycle or dispose such water volumes. AMI arrangements similarly are defined by a geographic right to current and future customer volumes, though AMIs may encompass a broader geographic area beyond a customer’s existing leasehold acreage. Wellbore dedications are similar to acreage dedications; however, they limit the contractual obligations to a defined set of existing or future wells. Under our MVC agreements, our customers guarantee to deliver certain minimum volumes of produced water to our pipeline networks at an agreed upon fee or pay a deficiency fee for the minimum volume that is not met for a specified period. In most cases, these contracts are covenant to the land and assets they encompass.

Accommodations and rentals revenue is included in the Water Services segment and the Company accounts for its accommodations and rentals agreements as an operating lease. The Company recognizes revenue from renting equipment on a straight-line basis. Accommodations and rental contract periods are generally daily, weekly or monthly. The average lease term is less than three months and as of March 31, 2026, there were no material rental agreements in effect lasting more than one year. During the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, approximately $
In the Chemical Technologies segment, the typical performance obligation is to provide a specific quantity of chemicals to customers in accordance with the customer agreement in an amount the Company expects to collect. Products and services are generally sold based upon customer orders or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable prices. Revenue is recognized as the customer takes title to chemical products in accordance with the agreement. Products may be provided to customers in packaging or delivered to the customers’ containers through a hose. In some cases, the customer takes title to the chemicals upon consumption from storage containers on their property, where the chemicals are considered inventory until customer usage. In cases where the Company delivers products and recognizes revenue before collecting payment, the Company has an unconditional right to payment reflected in accounts receivable trade, net of allowance for credit losses. Customer returns are rare and immaterial and there were no material in-process customer agreements for this segment as of March 31, 2026, lasting greater than one year.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to measure assets and liabilities in a business combination or assess impairment and abandonment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill or to measure the value of securities marked to market. Fair value is defined as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and includes certain disclosure requirements. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk.
ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to

the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were
Other fair value considerations
The carrying values of the Company’s current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable trade and accounts payable, approximate their fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of debt as of March 31, 2026 approximates fair value due to variable market rates of interest. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for realization and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence in determining whether realization of the tax benefit is more likely than not. This evidence includes historical income/loss, projected future income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Management has continued to assess both positive and negative evidence and determined that no adjustments to the remaining valuation allowance were necessary as of March 31, 2026.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2026 (our “2025 Form 10-K”). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors as described under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our 2025 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.
This discussion relates to the three months ended March 31, 2026 (the “Current Quarter”) and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the “Prior Quarter”).
Overview
We are a leading provider of sustainable water and chemical solutions to the energy industry in the U.S. As a leader in the water solutions industry, we place the utmost importance on safe, environmentally responsible management of oilfield water throughout the lifecycle of a well. Additionally, we believe that responsibly managing water resources through our operations to help conserve and protect the environment in the communities in which we operate is paramount to our continued success.
Sustainability
Select is committed to a corporate strategy that supports the long-term viability of our business model in a manner that focuses on all stakeholders, including our people, our customers, the environment, and the communities in which we operate. We believe this focus will help us and our customers achieve their short-term and long-term strategic goals, help us attract and retain top talent, and further our efforts to generate investor returns. We believe our commitment to foster a culture of corporate responsibility is an important part of being a company with operations spanning the contiguous U.S. Further, we believe being a good corporate steward is strategic to our growth in the energy industry and will better allow us to develop solutions that both address the needs of our customers and contribute to sustainable business practices. Our commitment to these principles is exemplified through our sustainability-linked credit facility, which incorporates certain key performance indicator targets related to growing produced water recycling volumes and maintaining market-leading employee safety performance. Additionally, as a customer-oriented company,
35
Table of Contents
we compete with other providers based on various factors, including safety and operational performance, technological innovation, process efficiencies and reputational awareness. We have identified the following four priorities as part of our comprehensive corporate responsibility initiative: Environmental Stewardship, Safety & Well-being, Human Capital Management and Community Outreach. We believe there is a strong link between these corporate responsibility initiatives and our ability to provide value to our stakeholders.
We are one of the few public companies whose primary focus is on the management of water and water logistics in the energy industry, with a focus on driving efficient, environmentally responsible, and economical solutions that lower costs throughout the lifecycle of the well. We believe water is a valuable resource and understand that the energy industry, other industries, and the general public are competing for this resource. We continue to provide access to water as demanded by our customers and have significantly increased our focus on the recycling and reuse of produced water, as well as assessing other industrial water sources, to meet the industry’s water demand and align our operations with the goals of our customers. We have invested significantly in the development and acquisition of fixed and mobile recycling facilities that support the advancement of commercialized produced water reuse solutions. By doing so, we strive to reduce the amount of produced water being reinjected into SWDs and to reduce our usage of fresh water as well as that of our customers. By implementing our innovative approach to end-to-end water solutions, we have become a leader in recycling produced water to be reused for energy production.
Our strong company culture includes commitments to all stakeholders, and we aim to create a work environment that fosters a diverse and inclusive company culture. Additionally, we prioritize safety in our operations through rigorous training, structured protocols and ongoing automation of our operations. Our prioritization of safety includes a commitment to safeguarding the communities in which we operate.
We believe that proper alignment of our management and our board of directors with our shareholders is critical to creating long-term value, including the alignment of management compensation and incentive structures and the continued leadership of an experienced, diverse and independent board of directors.
Recent Developments
Infrastructure Investments and Contracted Growth Initiatives
We are prioritizing investments in Water Infrastructure projects, which often bring a more predictable and steady revenue stream through long-term contracts and production-related operations. These investments typically produce higher gross margins and also foster stronger partnerships with customers, as we become an integral partner in ensuring well productivity for ongoing customer production over the life of a well. Our focus is on integrated solutions that enhance contracted infrastructure projects with logistics services and chemical solutions, and expanding the value we provide to our customers. Our approach has been to streamline operations and offer a more comprehensive and valuable overall package to customers that is built around optimizing the entire water lifecycle, as such integrated solutions drive revenue growth and enhance overall value to clients.
Common Stock Offering
In February 2026, we completed an underwritten public offering of 15,784,315 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $12.75 per share, consisting of 13,725,491 shares issued in the base offering and 2,058,824 shares issued upon the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. The offering generated aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $201.3 million and net proceeds of approximately $192.2 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and before other offering expenses. In connection with the offering, Select Inc. contributed the net proceeds of the offering to SES Holdings in exchange for a number of common units of SES Holdings equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued in the underwritten public offering. SES Holdings utilized a portion of the proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding water infrastructure growth capital projects, potential acquisitions, repayment of additional debt under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, and working capital.

Table of Contents
Water Infrastructure
During the Current Quarter, we continued executing our strategy of expanding our Water Infrastructure segment as a key component of our long-term growth platform. Our integrated water management systems support operators by providing produced water gathering, transportation, recycling, and disposal services designed to reduce trucking activity, improve operational reliability, and increase water management efficiency across development programs.
Our infrastructure footprint in the Northern Delaware Basin remains a core area of development for our business. Our in-service and under construction systems in New Mexico in Eddy and Lea counties include approximately 1.7 million barrels per day of active fixed recycling capacity, more than 400 miles of pipeline, substantial storage capacity, and more than 1.5 million dedicated acres. This interconnected infrastructure network positions us to manage large volumes of produced water and support customer development programs across the region.
Water Services
During the Current Quarter, we continued our efforts to streamline operations and improve efficiency within our Water Services segment. Through operational improvements implemented during 2025, including portfolio actions such as the Omni transaction, we simplified portions of our service portfolio and enhanced cost discipline. These initiatives are intended to support improved operational efficiency, an improved margin profile, and cash flow generation from this segment.
Peak Rental Update
In August 2025, we announced that we had started an evaluation of strategic alternatives for Peak Rentals business within our Water Services segment. Peak Rentals currently includes our accommodations and rentals platform as well as our well testing and flowback operations. This evaluation includes a range of potential paths forward, including capital structure initiatives and other portfolio optimization opportunities. As of March 31, 2026, no transaction is pending or imminent, and we continue to own 100% of the business. We are continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives for Peak Rentals in the ordinary course; however, there can be no assurance that any particular outcome will ultimately be pursued or completed.
Chemical Technologies
During the Current Quarter, we continued to compete across a range of completion chemistry applications through our Chemical Technologies segment. Our in-basin manufacturing capabilities and continued research and development investments support our ability to supply friction reducers, surfactants and other completion chemistry products used in increasingly complex completion designs, including longer laterals and high-intensity completion programs. Demand for friction reducers and customized surfactant offerings remained supported by completion activity levels and the increasing use of recycled produced water in hydraulic fracturing operations.
Long-Term Contract Revenue
During the Current Quarter, we continued to expand our portfolio of contracted and recurring revenue opportunities through new and amended commercial agreements across our water infrastructure footprint, including produced water takeaway and disposal arrangements, water supply agreements, minimum volume commitments, acreage-wide right-of-first-refusal arrangements and additional delivery point commitments. These agreements included, among others, a 12-year water supply and takeaway agreement in Lea County, New Mexico, supported by approximately 7.1 miles of planned pipeline infrastructure, and a five-year produced water takeaway and disposal agreement in Canadian County, Oklahoma. We also executed several shorter-term interruptible disposal, water purchase and reserve capacity arrangements across New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma, including a water purchase agreement with a minimum volume commitment of approximately 1.8 million barrels. Collectively, these agreements are intended
37
Table of Contents
to increase utilization of our existing infrastructure, support selective capital investments in new pipeline connectivity and delivery points, and provide improved visibility into future revenue generation across our operating regions. In addition, we expanded our Water Services footprint through an acreage-wide water transfer services agreement with a strategic customer in the Northeast, which also includes a right-of-first-refusal arrangement under which the customer has committed a portion of its produced water volumes to us for disposal.
Diversification
During the Current Quarter, we continued advancing certain diversification initiatives, including opportunities related to municipal and industrial water markets, lithium extraction partnerships, and beneficial reuse technologies. These initiatives are intended to evaluate potential opportunities to leverage our existing water infrastructure platform across additional end markets.
Progress continued on our equity-method investment in AV Farms, LP related to the Colorado municipal water rights project. In addition, lithium extraction partnerships across the Haynesville, Midland, and Northern Delaware basins continue to progress, with initial royalty-based revenues currently expected to begin in late 2026.
We also continued pilot testing of advanced treatment technologies intended to evaluate beneficial reuse opportunities for produced water in the Permian and DJ basins. These pilot programs are designed to assess the feasibility of converting produced water into resources that could potentially be used in agricultural or other applications.
Market Trends and Outlook
Commodity Prices
Industry conditions during the first quarter of 2026 reflected a relatively stable but disciplined North American upstream activity environment. Commodity prices, while significantly fluctuating in the first quarter, remained supportive of development activity, although operators continued to emphasize capital efficiency, free cash flow generation, and moderated production growth. As a result, drilling and completion activity across key U.S. basins remained generally stable compared to recent periods, with the Permian Basin continuing to represent the primary area of development and the largest concentration of completions activity and associated water handling demand.
Since 2021, OPEC+ countries have instituted production cuts (as well as voluntary production cuts), which currently cut output by approximately 3.0 million barrels/day in the aggregate. Most recently, in April 2026, OPEC+ announced a reduction in voluntary oil production cuts of approximately 0.2 million barrels per day. OPEC+ may, at its discretion, continue to decrease, or increase, production, which will continue to impact crude oil and natural gas price volatility. Further, on April 28, 2026, the United Arab Emirates, the third largest oil and gas producer within OPEC+, announced that it was leaving OPEC. The impact of the United Arab Emirates’ departure from OPEC+ on current OPEC+ production cuts and overall global production is not yet known, but such effects may be magnified if any additional countries leave OPEC+. The actions of OPEC+ countries with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including agreement on and compliance with production targets, as well as each countries’ continued membership in OPEC+, may result in volatility in the industry in which we and our customers operate. However, despite this announced increase in production, the ongoing conflict in Iran, and related hostilities across Gulf countries and the Strait of Hormuz has resulted in a dramatic drop in OPEC+ production, with a decrease of approximately 7.3 million barrels per day month-to-month in March 2026, led by cuts in Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The average price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil increased in the Current Quarter versus the Prior Quarter due to a combination of factors, including the conflict in Iran and related hostilities across the Middle East, including the cessation or reduction of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, heightened trade tensions, global demand, and other various influences and impacts. During the Current Quarter, the average spot price of WTI crude oil was $72.74 versus an average price of $71.78 for the Prior Quarter. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot price during the Current Quarter was $4.71 versus an average of $4.14 for the Prior Quarter. Henry Hub natural gas price levels in the Current Quarter have increased relative to the Prior Quarter due to a variety of factors, including increased demand driven by power consumption, severe weather events, infrastructure disruptions, lower than expected inventories, and the ongoing liquified natural gas (“LNG”) export growth in the U.S., reduced LNG

exports from Gulf countries as a result of the ongoing conflict in Iran resulting in higher demand for domestic natural gas, and have positively impacted activity levels in natural gas basins.
Commodity markets during the quarter were influenced by geopolitical developments in the Middle East, which contributed to volatility in global oil prices and increased market attention on potential supply disruptions. Higher commodity prices during portions of the quarter improved operator cash flows and supported the economics of ongoing development programs, which may contribute to sustained activity levels across core U.S. basins.
Customer Demand
Demand for produced water gathering, transportation, disposal, and recycling services remained closely linked to completion activity levels and the steady growth in produced water volumes associated with existing production. Produced water generation continues to increase as horizontal wells mature and as operators develop longer laterals and higher-intensity completion designs. Additionally, water-to-oil ratios in the Delaware and Northern Delaware Basins are among the highest in the United States, and within the Permian Basin, contributing to growing produced water volumes in the Permian Basin. These structural trends continue to support demand for integrated water management infrastructure, including pipeline gathering systems, disposal capacity, and recycling capabilities.
Across the Permian Basin and the broader industry, operators increasingly utilize pipeline-based gathering systems and centralized disposal and recycling facilities to manage water volumes more efficiently. These infrastructure systems can improve cost efficiency, reduce truck traffic, and support more reliable water management across large development programs. Recycling and beneficial reuse of produced water also continue to gain importance as operators seek to reduce freshwater consumption and improve water management practices.
Geopolitical Conflicts
The ongoing war in the Middle East involving Iran escalated during the first quarter of 2026, resulting in increased hostilities and instability in oil and gas-producing regions as well as in key adjacent shipping lanes and supply chains. As a major oil producer, Iran’s involvement has heightened concerns over potential supply disruptions and transportation risks, contributing to significant volatility in global oil and natural gas prices. In particular, the restriction or cessation of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has significantly depressed global supply of oil and natural gas, resulting in increased volatility and overall elevated prices.
Further, the ongoing restrictions or cessation of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has caused disruptions to the global chemicals and oil-derived goods markets, reducing supplies and availability worldwide, and resulting in increased prices. While we are not reliant on any chemicals or other commodities that are exclusively transported through the Strait of Hormuz due to our continued focus on domestic sourcing, such global disruptions to commodities markets can have downstream effects in the domestic markets, including elevated domestic prices, reduced supply and business interruptions to our suppliers. While the ultimate duration, impact and magnitude of these disruptions is currently unknown, a prolonged interruption to the global chemicals commodities and oil-derived goods markets has the potential to materially adversely affect our business and operations and those of our suppliers.
Additionally, the armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia has continued into 2026. Severe sanctions imposed by the U.S., U.K., European Union and other actors on Russian entities have driven significant volatility in global oil and natural gas prices. U.S. actions in Venezuela, including tanker seizures and a limited military intervention in early 2026, have added uncertainty; as relations stabilize, the potential release of approximately 50 million barrels of previously sanctioned oil could depress global prices. Further, in an effort to reduce the impact of the ongoing conflict with Iran, in March, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control authorized temporary waivers for the sanctions on Russian hydrocarbons. While these waivers were extended into mid-May, they are limited in duration and will expire unless further extended. Such extensions, future waivers or the imposition of further sanctions may have a significant effect on global hydrocarbon prices. Such commodity swings, combined with higher inflation and interest rates that have raised our cost of capital, have created a more challenging planning environment for us and our customers. The ultimate outcomes remain unpredictable and could materially affect the world economy, customer activity levels, and demand for our services.

Trade Policy Developments
Global macroeconomic developments, including changes in international trade policies and tariffs, may adversely affect our ability to source raw materials and customer demand for our services. Although we are not reliant on any single supplier and can secure alternatives, disruptions from tariffs or trade restrictions could still impact our business. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. imposed new tariffs on imported steel, aluminum and other materials, prompting retaliatory measures from the European Union, Canada and China. We continue to monitor evolving trade policies, including potential additional tariffs on Chinese goods and ongoing litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court regarding presidential tariff authority. Any expansion of trade restrictions or a trade war could adversely affect us and the global economy.
In the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down certain broad tariffs previously imposed through executive orders under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 on a wide range of imported goods. In response, President Trump promptly implemented a wide sweeping 10% import surcharge on goods under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which is scheduled to expire in July 2026 unless otherwise extended. These new tariffs target various categories of imports, including several raw materials used in our operations, including steel, aluminum and copper. While the full scope, duration, and economic impact of these new tariffs remain uncertain, they could result in higher input costs, supply chain disruptions, and potential retaliatory measures from affected trading partners. We continue to monitor these developments closely and evaluate their potential effects on our cost structure and customer demand.
Inflation, Capital Discipline and Customer Consolidation
Heightened inflation in recent years has driven higher interest rates and increased cost of capital for Select and our customers. Many customers have responded by tightening capital budgets, focusing on cash flow generation and returning capital to investors. Customer consolidation in the Permian Basin can temporarily disrupt activity levels, yet it also creates larger blocks of contiguous acreage that can increase demand for our integrated, long-term water lifecycle solutions. While acquired customers may initially slow activity to integrate operations, we are well-positioned to support these larger entities with comprehensive water management, reuse, recycling and balancing services.
Industry Health
Looking ahead, we expect industry activity levels to continue to be influenced by commodity price volatility, operator capital allocation priorities, and broader macroeconomic conditions. While near-term activity may fluctuate in response to customer budget adjustments, long-term fundamentals supporting produced water handling and infrastructure development remain favorable. Continued growth in produced water volumes, increasing infrastructure intensity in the Permian Basin, and expanding recycling adoption are expected to support demand for integrated water management services.
Technology and Operations
We operate a centralized Remote Operations Center (“ROC”) in Gainesville, Texas, which serves as the command hub for monitoring and managing water operations across our integrated platform, including water transfer, pipelines, disposal, and recycling facilities. The ROC aggregates and processes data from approximately 5,000 to 6,000 active assets, over 200 facilities, and more than 1,100 cameras, translating this data into actionable alerts that support real-time operational decision-making. Through our AquaView® system, we monitor water volumes, flow rates, and asset performance while also enabling remote control of field operations. This capability facilitates timely responses to operational risks, including spills and inefficiencies, enhances safety performance, and reduces field labor requirements by shifting from reactive monitoring to proactive intervention.
AquaView has evolved into a fully integrated water management and control platform capable of dynamically routing water across both mobile and permanent infrastructure. The system supports our complex and frequently
40
Table of Contents
changing operations, with approximately 120 to 180 active sites that are regularly reconfigured and can typically be deployed on a rapid response basis. This flexibility allows us to optimize water logistics, reduce nonproductive time, and provide customers with real-time operational visibility. In addition, AquaView supports data integration with third-party systems, further enhancing transparency and coordination. The combination of centralized oversight, automation, and purpose-built technologies enables us to operate efficiently at scale, improve service reliability, and support long-term infrastructure development and contractual water management solutions.
These capabilities are increasingly important as unconventional oil and gas development continues to trend toward multi-well pad development and simultaneous well completions executed over compressed time periods. While these trends can increase the overall intensity, complexity, and cost of well completions, they also favor operators and service providers that can deliver reliable, technology-enabled water solutions across large and dynamic operating footprints. At the same time, continued completion efficiencies may reduce the number of days spent on location, which can limit revenue opportunities for services priced on a day-rate basis. Our integrated infrastructure, centralized monitoring, and rapid deployment capabilities position us to help customers manage these more demanding operating environments while improving logistics, reducing downtime, and supporting efficient well execution.
In addition, increasing upstream acreage consolidation, corporate mergers, and the growing adoption of produced water recycling and reuse continue to expand demand for more sophisticated regional water infrastructure networks. We believe these trends favor companies that can deliver complex, full-lifecycle water management solutions across broad acreage positions, including the treatment, routing, recycling, and reuse of produced water. The increased reuse of produced water also requires additional chemical treatment and blending solutions, including more complex “on-the-fly” applications that proportion and treat multiple water and chemical streams at the wellsite. Supported by our specialized technical teams and proprietary technologies, including FluidMatch™, we remain focused on developing and deploying innovative treatment and reuse solutions that help customers optimize fluid systems, improve operational efficiency, and advance broader sustainability objectives.
Our Segments
Our services are offered through three reportable segments: (i) Water Infrastructure; (ii) Water Services; and (iii) Chemical Technologies.
| ● | Water Infrastructure. The Water Infrastructure segment consists of the Company’s fixed infrastructure assets, including operations associated with water distribution pipeline infrastructure, water recycling facilities, produced water gathering pipelines, SWDs, and solids management facilities, primarily serving E&P companies. |
| ● | Water Services. The Water Services segment primarily consists of the Company’s water-related services businesses, including water sourcing, water transfer, fluids hauling, water monitoring, water containment and water network automation, primarily serving E&P companies. Additionally, this segment includes the operations of our Peak Rentals businesses. |
| ● | Chemical Technologies. The Chemical Technologies segment provides technical solutions, products and expertise related to chemical applications in the oil and gas industry. We develop, manufacture, manage logistics and provide a full suite of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing and well completions for customers ranging from pressure pumpers to major integrated and independent oil and gas producers. This segment also utilizes its chemical experience and lab testing capabilities to customize tailored water treatment solutions designed for the recycling and treatment of produced water and to optimize the fracturing fluid system in conjunction with the quality of water used in well completions. |

Table of Contents
How We Generate Revenue
| ● | Water Infrastructure. The Water Infrastructure segment comprises our extensive infrastructure network, including produced water gathering pipelines, water distribution lines, water recycling facilities, SWDs, and solids management operations. We primarily generate revenue through fixed fees per barrel handled, which may include gathering, transportation, recycling, or disposal, pursuant to long-term commercial agreements that may incorporate acreage dedications, MVCs, and periodic escalators. Additional revenue is earned from the sale of skim oil, based on the volume of skim oil sold at prevailing market rates, as well as from recycled water sales and capacity optimization services on an interruptible basis. Revenue is recognized as volumes are received and processed across our network. |
Contract structures becoming more prevalent in our Water Infrastructure segment include dedicated acreage, right of first refusals (“ROFRs”), interruptible agreements, MVCs, wellbore dedications, AMIs and WPAs. These contracts underpin the economics of our newly built facilities to an anchor tenant, with the opportunity for further commercialization of the asset. Most of our contracts are an acreage dedication structure, and we often utilize a ROFR structure in tandem with these dedications to secure upside with our customers should they expand their activities outside the dedicated acreage position.
Dedicated Acreage
We believe in the geology we are investing in and, as such, view acreage dedications as the optimal structure for both us and our customers, as they align long-term development incentives on both sides. Under these agreements, the operator is generally obligated to deliver produced water to us for recycling or disposal, and to take treated water from us for completions within the dedicated position. Importantly, for most of our contracts, we hold the right, but not the obligation, to accept water under these dedications, meaning we are not penalized in the event we’re unable to take water we cannot consume. That said, we do have a limited number of firm takeaway commitments, under which we incur monetary penalties for failure to perform. Due to the high quality of our dedicated acreage positions, we typically see strong and consistent activity levels and maintain a backlog of high-confidence well inventory. Dedicated acreage remains our most common contract structure.
ROFR
ROFR acres provide potential upside to our dedicated acreage revenue stream and are incorporated in many of our acreage dedication contract structures. These are typically acreage positions in proximity to the core dedicated area but are often excluded initially due to their later place in the development timeline. Should the anchor customer expand or initiate operational activity within the ROFR area, we generally hold the first right to build out the necessary water infrastructure to support that activity. Upon exercise of the ROFR, that acreage is then converted to Dedicated Acreage under the original contract framework. We typically see ROFR conversion through operator expansion on adjacent leaseholds, acreage trades, or acquisitions that fall within ROFR boundaries. While less certain than committed dedicated volumes, ROFRs represent meaningful incremental upside to our contracted revenue base.
MVCs
Contractual arrangements under which an operator commits to receive or deliver a defined minimum volume of water-related services, typically measured in barrels, with predetermined financial true-up mechanisms for any shortfall below the committed volumes. These MVCs may encompass the sourcing, supply, transportation, recycling, and disposal of water used across the operator’s drilling, completion, and production activities.
Interruptible Agreements
Interruptible agreements allow new or existing customers into our system to take advantage of our expansive water networks for produced water disposal and/or recycling. Operators can tie-in, and we can provide treated water for completions or accept produced water into our system for disposal or
42
Table of Contents
treatment. Our anchor tenants will typically continue to have primary rights to both our disposal and recycling capacity for their continued operations. Interruptible contracts are our way of commercializing the product we have created, particularly in the Northern Delaware Basin.
Wellbore dedication
The dedication of specifically identified wells owned or operated by a customer whereby all water required to complete the wells or produced by the wells are dedicated to Select.
AMIs
Designated areas in which producers will dedicate subsequently acquired or leased acreage and oil and natural gas wells to Select.
WPA
Water purchase agreements where customers agree to purchase water.
| ● | Water Services. The Water Services segment comprises our short-cycle, field-based service offerings, including water transfer, water sourcing, fluids hauling, monitoring, containment, water-network automation and the services associated with Peak Rentals. We generally earn revenue via market-based day rates, time-and-materials, or per-barrel delivered under master services agreements (“MSAs”) and short-term work orders. Peak Rentals’ services are typically billed per job/day plus consumables. Revenue is recognized as services are performed at customer sites. |
| ● | Chemical Technologies. The Chemical Technologies segment provides technical products and services for hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, cementing and completions, serving pressure pumpers and E&P operators. Revenue is primarily price-per-unit of chemicals delivered or consumed, supplemented by application engineering, lab testing and field service fees, under short-term supply arrangements and MSAs. We also formulate and supply tailored water-treatment chemistries that support produced-water recycling and optimization of fracturing fluids. Revenue is recognized upon delivery or consumption of product and performance of services. |
Costs of Conducting Our Business
The principal expenses involved in conducting our business are labor costs, vehicle and equipment costs (including depreciation, rental, repair and maintenance and leasing costs), raw materials including water sourcing costs and fuel costs. Overall, our fixed costs are relatively low and most of the costs of serving our customers are variable, i.e., they are incurred only when we provide water and water-related services, or chemicals and chemical-related services to our customers.
Labor costs associated with our employees and contract labor comprise the largest portion of our costs of doing business. We incurred labor and labor-related costs of $115.4 million and $129.4 million for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively. The majority of our recurring labor costs are variable and dependent on the market environment and are incurred only while we are providing our operational services. We also incur costs to employ personnel to ensure safe operations, sell and supervise our services and perform maintenance on our assets, which is not as directly tied to our level of business activity. Additionally, we incur selling, general and administrative costs for compensation of our administrative personnel at our field sites and in our operational and corporate headquarters, as well as for third-party support, permitting, licensing and services.
We incur significant vehicle and equipment costs in connection with the services we provide, including depreciation, repairs and maintenance, rental and leasing costs. We incurred vehicle and equipment costs of $81.0 million and $79.5 million for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively.
43
Table of Contents
We incur raw material costs in manufacturing our chemical products, as well as for water that we source for our customers. We incurred raw material costs of $66.5 million and $65.2 million for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively.
We incur variable transportation costs associated with our service lines, predominantly fuel and freight. We incurred fuel and freight costs of $20.1 million and $22.3 million for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively. Changes to fuel prices impact our transportation costs, which affects the results of our operations.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We use a variety of operational and financial metrics to assess our performance. Among other measures, management considers each of the following:
| ● | Revenue; |
| ● | Gross Profit; |
| ● | Gross Margins; |
| ● | EBITDA; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA; |
| ● | Cash Flows; and |
| ● | Free Cash Flow. |
Revenue
We analyze our revenue and assess our performance by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal projections and across periods. We also assess incremental changes in revenue compared to incremental changes in direct operating costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses across our reportable segments to identify potential areas for improvement, as well as to determine whether segment performance is meeting management’s expectations.
Gross Profit
To measure our financial performance, we analyze our gross profit, which we define as revenues less direct operating expenses (including depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses). We believe gross profit provides insight into profitability and the true operating performance of our assets. We also compare gross profit to prior periods and across segments to identify trends as well as underperforming segments.
Gross Margins
Gross margins provide an important gauge of how effective we are at converting revenue into profits. This metric works in tandem with gross profit to ensure that we do not seek to increase gross profit at the expense of lower margins, nor pursue higher gross margins at the expense of declining gross profits. We track gross margins by segment and service line and compare them across prior periods and across segments and service lines to identify trends as well as underperforming segments.
44
Table of Contents
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We define EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, amortization and accretion. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any impairment and abandonment charges or asset write-offs pursuant to GAAP, plus non-cash losses on the sale of assets or subsidiaries less remeasurement gains on fixed assets related to business combinations, non-cash compensation expense, and non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges, including severance expenses, transaction costs, or facilities-related exit and disposal-related expenditures, plus/(minus) foreign currency losses/(gains), plus/(minus) losses/(earnings) on unconsolidated entities and plus TRAs expense. The adjustments to EBITDA are generally consistent with such adjustments described in our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. See “—Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for more information and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Cash Flows and Free Cash Flow
We define FCF as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus proceeds received from sale of property and equipment. Our board of directors and executive management team use FCF to assess our liquidity and ability to repay maturing debt, fund operations and make additional investments. We believe FCF provides useful information to investors because it is an important indicator of our liquidity including our ability to reduce net debt, make strategic investments, pay dividends and distributions and repurchase common stock. Our measure of FCF may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, FCF is not a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities nor any other measure prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as FCF. Accordingly, FCF should not be considered a measure of the income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to it to invest in the growth of our business.
Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations to Our Historical Results of Operations
Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented, primarily for the reasons described below and those described in “—Recent Developments” above.
Acquisition Activity
As described above, we continuously evaluate potential investments, particularly in water infrastructure and other water-related services and technology. To the extent we consummate acquisitions, any pre-transaction revenues or expenses from such transactions are not included in our historical results of operations.
Our historical financial statements for periods prior to the respective date each acquisition was completed do not include the results of operations of that acquisition. See “—Recent Developments” and “Note 3—Acquisitions” for a description of these transactions.

Revenue
Our revenue decreased by $8.4 million, or 2.3%, to $366.0 million for the Current Quarter compared to $374.4 million for the Prior Quarter. This decrease was composed of a $34.4 million decrease in Water Services revenue partially offset by a $24.3 million increase in Water Infrastructure revenue and a $1.6 million increase in Chemical Technologies revenue. For the Current Quarter, our Water Infrastructure, Water Services and Chemical Technologies constituted 26.4%, 52.3% and 21.3% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 19.3%, 60.3% and 20.4%, respectively, for the Prior Quarter. The revenue changes by reportable segment are as follows:
Water Infrastructure. Revenue increased $24.3 million, or 33.6%, to $96.7 million for the Current Quarter compared to $72.4 million for the Prior Quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher recycling revenues associated with the continued ramp-up of volumes under long-term agreements, as well as increased activity supported
46
Table of Contents
by our ongoing New Mexico infrastructure buildout and related Permian customer development. Results were also supported by increased disposal and solids revenues, reflecting the expansion of our asset base through recent acquisitions, and were partially offset by lower pipeline revenue.
Water Services. Revenue decreased $34.4 million, or 15.3%, to $191.2 million for the Current Quarter compared to $225.6 million in the Prior Quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by $29.1 million lower Fluids Hauling revenue associated with divested operations in connection with the Omni transaction. Results were also impacted by lower Well Testing and Poly & Containment revenues, reflecting broader macroeconomic conditions. These decreases were partially offset by higher Water Transfer revenues, driven by market share gains supported by our Tideline® hose offering, as well as higher Accommodation and Rentals revenue driven by increased power generation activity and underlying organic growth.
Chemical Technologies. Revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 2.2%, to $78.0 million for the Current Quarter compared to $76.3 million for the Prior Quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by enhanced sales performance and new product developments.
Costs of Revenue
Costs of revenue decreased $17.9 million, or 5.6%, to $300.7 million for the Current Quarter compared to $318.6 million for the Prior Quarter. The decrease was comprised of a $32.3 million decrease in Water Services costs and a $1.6 million decrease in Chemical Technologies costs partially offset by an $8.9 million increase in Water Infrastructure costs and a $7.1 million increase in depreciation, amortization and accretion.
Water Infrastructure. Costs of revenue increased $8.9 million, or 26.5%, to $42.4 million for the Current Quarter compared to $33.5 million for the Prior Quarter. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased from 46.3% to 43.8% primarily driven by a greater mix of higher-margin recycling revenues and margin expansion within that stream, reflecting scale efficiencies.
Water Services. Costs of revenue decreased $32.3 million, or 17.8%, to $149.5 million for the Current Quarter compared to $181.7 million for the Prior Quarter. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased from 80.5% in the Prior Quarter to 78.2% in the Current Quarter. The favorable decrease was primarily driven by higher Fluids Hauling margins, reflecting the divestiture of lower-margin operations in connection with the Omni transaction. This was partially offset by lower Well Testing margins, as reduced activity levels limited our ability to proportionally reduce costs.
Chemical Technologies. Costs of revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 2.5%, to $63.1 million for the Current Quarter compared to $64.7 million for the Prior Quarter. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased from 84.8% to 80.9% attributable to a higher proportion of sales from higher margin products, coupled with reduced freight costs resulting from a shift from third-party providers to internal logistics execution.
Depreciation, amortization and accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $7.1 million, or 18.3%, to $45.7 million for the Current Quarter compared to $38.7 million for the Prior Quarter primarily due to increased capital expenditures made into new organic infrastructure projects as well as a higher fixed asset base resulting from recent acquisitions.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $65.3 million for the Current Quarter compared to $55.8 million for the Prior Quarter primarily driven by a $15.5 million increase in gross profit from our Water Infrastructure segment and a $3.2 million increase in gross profit from our Chemical Technologies segment partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in gross profit from our Water Services segment and a $7.1 million increase in depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 17.8% and 14.9% in the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively.
47
Table of Contents
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million, or 8.3%, to $40.6 million for the Current Quarter compared to $37.4 million for the Prior Quarter, driven primarily by a $2.5 million increase in incentive and equity-based compensation, $1.1 million in higher legal and professional costs and $0.5 million in higher information technology costs partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in transaction costs and $0.2 million in other expenses.
Impairments and Abandonments
During the Current Quarter, we recognized $5.7 million in impairments and abandonments primarily due to the abandonment of a SWD well in the Haynesville region of our Water Infrastructure segment. During the Prior Quarter, we recognized $1.1 million in impairments and abandonments, consisting of $0.6 million in the Water Services segment related to the relocation of operations from a leased facility and $0.5 million in the Water Infrastructure segment associated with the termination of a disposal lease.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 21.1%, to $5.9 million for the Current Quarter compared to $4.9 million in the Prior Quarter primarily driven by higher interest expense on revolver borrowings, a full quarter of interest expense on the term loan in the Current Quarter compared to a partial period in the Prior Quarter following its issuance on January 24, 2025, as well as lower interest income in the Current Quarter. This increase was partially offset by the Prior Quarter write-off of debt issuance costs in connection with the debt refinancing.
Net Income
Net income decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $9.4 million for the Current Quarter compared to $9.6 million for the Prior Quarter, driven primarily by higher gross profit offset by higher impairments and abandonments, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher net interest expense.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our board of directors, management and investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them 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, amortization and accretion) and items outside the control of our management team. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to the exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. One should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
The following table sets forth our reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 77,624 | | $ | 64,031 |
| (1) | Current Quarter includes $0.2 million of other cash incentive compensation. |
EBITDA was $64.6 million for the Current Quarter compared to $56.9 million for the Prior Quarter. The $7.7 million increase in EBITDA was driven primarily by a $16.6 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in impairments and abandonments, a $3.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense and a $1.0 million decrease in gains on asset sales. Adjusted EBITDA was $77.6 million for the Current Quarter compared to $64.0 million for the Prior Quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, borrowing capacity under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, cash flows from operations and proceeds from the sale of excess property and equipment and proceeds from underwritten public offerings of our Class A common stock. Our primary uses of capital have been to fund current operations, maintain our asset base, implement technological advancements, make capital expenditures to support organic growth, fund acquisitions and equity investments, pay dividends and distributions, make payments under the TRAs, and when appropriate, repurchase shares of Class A common stock in the open market. Depending on available opportunities, market conditions and other factors, we may also issue debt and equity securities in the future, if needed.
We prioritize sustained positive FCF and a strong balance sheet and evaluate potential acquisitions and investments in the context of those priorities, in addition to the economics of the opportunity. We believe this approach provides us with additional flexibility to evaluate larger investments as well as improved resilience in a sustained downturn versus many of our peers.
Based on our current cash and cash equivalents balance, operating cash flow, available borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility and the ongoing actions discussed above, we believe that we will be able to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants through the next twelve months and beyond, prior to giving effect to any future financing that may occur.
We intend to finance most of our capital expenditures, contractual obligations and working capital needs with cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. For a discussion of the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility, see “—Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility” below. Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe that our current cash balance, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we may opportunistically seek to raise additional capital through securities offerings or other avenues, as appropriate, based on market circumstances and other factors.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we initiated a quarterly dividend and distribution program of $0.05 per share and $0.05 per unit for holders of Class A and Class B shares, respectively. We paid quarterly dividends at the same rate through the third quarter of 2023, then the board of directors increased the quarterly dividend paid on November 17, 2023 to $0.06 per share and $0.06 per unit for holders of Class A and Class B shares, respectively. We paid quarterly dividends at the same rate through the third quarter of 2024, then the board of directors increased the quarterly dividend paid on November 15, 2024 to $0.07 per share and $0.07 per unit for holders of Class A and Class B shares, respectively. This program resulted in a financing outflow of $8.8 million in the Current Quarter, and this quarterly dividend program is expected to continue. All future dividend payments are subject to quarterly review and approval by our board of directors.
As of March 31, 2026 cash and cash equivalents totaled $56.0 million, and we had approximately $251.7 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, we had $250.0 million in outstanding indebtedness, the borrowing base for the Revolving Credit Facility under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $271.3 million, the borrowing base for the Term Loan Facility under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $426.3 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $19.6 million. As of May 4, 2026, we had $250.0 million in outstanding indebtedness, the borrowing base for the Revolving Credit Facility under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $271.3 million, the borrowing base for the Term Loan Facility under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $426.3 million, the outstanding letters of credit totaled $19.6 million, and the available borrowing capacity under the Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility was $251.7 million.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes between the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.2 million for the Current Quarter, compared to $5.1 million net cash used by operating activities for the Prior Quarter. The $15.3 million increase is comprised primarily of an increase of $15.2 million of net income combined with non-cash adjustments and a $0.1 million increase in converting working capital to cash.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $77.5 million for the Current Quarter, compared to $132.5 million for the Prior Quarter The $55.0 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to the $72.1 million investment in unconsolidated entities in the Prior Quarter and a $13.8 million decrease in spending for acquisitions net of cash received partially offset by a $30.0 million increase in purchases of property and equipment and $0.9 million lower proceeds received from sales of property and equipment.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $105.2 million for the Current Quarter, compared to $145.5 million for the Prior Quarter. The $40.3 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to a $235.0 million decrease in borrowings net of repayments, a $2.9 million decrease in cash received from noncontrolling interest holders and a $1.3 million increase in repurchases of common stock partially offset by $191.7 million in proceeds received from a public offering of our Class A common stock and $7.4 million lower debt issuance costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies” for recent accounting pronouncements.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, we had no material off-balance-sheet arrangements. As such, we are not exposed to any material financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such financing arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The demand, pricing and terms for oilfield services provided by us are largely dependent upon the level of drilling and completion activity in the U.S. oil and gas industry as well as the level of oil and gas production. The level of drilling and completion activity is influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including, but not limited to: the supply of and demand for oil and gas; war, armed conflicts, economic sanctions and other constraints to global trade and economic growth; current price levels as well as expectations about future prices of oil and gas, including announcements and actions taken by the members of OPEC+ with respect to oil production levels; such as announced production cuts and the willingness of member countries to follow such cuts; the magnitude and timing of capital spending by our customers; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and gas; the extent to which our E&P customers choose to drill and complete new wells to offset decline from their existing wells; the extent to which our E&P customers choose to invest to grow production; discoveries of new oil and gas reserves; available storage capacity and pipeline and other transportation capacity; weather conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; instability in oil-producing countries; environmental regulations; technical advances in alternative forms of energy (e.g., wind and solar electricity, electric vehicles) that encourage substitution for or displacement of oil
52

and gas consumption in end-use markets; the price and availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; changes in global trade policy, including the imposition or lifting of tariffs and sanctions; global health events; merger and acquisition activity and consolidation in our industry, and other factors.
Any combination of these factors that results in sustained low oil and gas prices and, therefore, lower capital spending and / or reduced drilling and completion activity by our customers, would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2026, we had $250.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $251.7 million of available borrowing capacity under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. As of May 4, 2026, we had $250.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $251.7 million of available borrowing capacity under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility. Interest is calculated under the terms of our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility based on our selection, from time to time, of one of the index rates available to us plus an applicable margin that varies based on certain factors. A hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates on our borrowings under our Sustainability-Linked Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.5 million. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely against us, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are, however, named defendants in certain lawsuits, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including certain environmental claims and employee-related matters, and we expect that we will be named
53
Table of Contents
defendants in similar lawsuits, investigations and claims in the future. While the outcome of these lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We have not assumed any liabilities arising out of these existing lawsuits, investigations and claims.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties as disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2025 Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in our 2025 Form 10-K and the following risks, together with all the other information in this report, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K. The following risk factors below are hereby added to the risk factors disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Global geopolitical conflicts may increase our costs and disrupt our supply chain.
Escalating conflict in or near major oil-producing or shipping corridors could lead to higher fuel and energy prices, increasing our transportation, manufacturing, and distribution costs, as well as resulting in downstream effects to global chemicals commodities markets. In particular, ongoing geopolitical tensions and military conflicts in the Middle East, including the conflict involving Iran and the related restriction or cessation of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the potential for continued disruptions to Red Sea shipping, may adversely affect our operations. The ongoing restriction or cessation of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and the potential for continued disruptions in Red Sea shipping, has caused disruptions to the global chemicals and oil-derived goods markets, reducing supplies and availability worldwide, and resulting in increased prices. While we are not reliant on any chemicals or other commodities that are exclusively transported through the Strait of Hormuz due to our continued focus on domestic sourcing, such global disruptions to commodities markets can have downstream effects in the domestic markets, including elevated domestic prices, reduced supply and business interruptions to our suppliers. These events may also cause shipping delays, rerouted freight, port congestion, or higher logistics and insurance costs, which could disrupt the movement of raw materials upon which our suppliers rely. While the ultimate duration, impact and magnitude of these disruptions is currently unknown, a prolonged interruption to the global chemicals commodities and oil-derived goods markets has the potentially to materially adversely affect our business and operations and those of our suppliers.
