Insights
Results show flat EBITDA, heavier capex and rising leverage as Select pivots harder into infrastructure growth.
Select Water Solutions delivered full-year 2025 revenue of $1.41 billion, modestly below 2024, while net income declined to $21.5 million. However, Adjusted EBITDA ticked up to $260.3 million, indicating resilient cash-generation from operations despite mix shifts and higher non-cash costs.
The business mix is evolving toward higher-margin infrastructure and chemicals. Water Infrastructure revenue rose to $313 million with strong gross margin before D&A, and Chemical Technologies posted notable year-over-year gains in revenue and gross profit. Water Services shrank but still generates substantial cash flow.
Growth is being funded with materially higher capital spending and debt. Net capital expenditures reached $279.3 million in 2025, while borrowings on the sustainability-linked credit facility increased to $320 million, lifting total liquidity to $163.6 million. Management guides to first-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $65–$68 million and 20–25% 2026 Water Infrastructure revenue growth, with outcomes depending on project execution and customer development plans.

Select Water Solutions Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial and Operational Results and Strategic Updates
Generated full year and fourth quarter 2025 consolidated revenue of $1.4 billion and $347 million, respectively
Generated full year net income of $21 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $260 million
Water Infrastructure generated full year 2025 revenues of $313 million, up 8% year-over-year
Chemical Technologies generated full year 2025 revenues of $308 million, up 19% year-over-year
Announces multiple new long-term contracted Water Infrastructure projects supported by 15 million barrels of minimum volume
commitments (“MVC”) and approximately 180,000 acres of new leasehold and ROFR acreage dedications
Gainesville, TX – February 17, 2026 – Select Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: WTTR) (“Select,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a leading provider of sustainable water
infrastructure and chemical solutions, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
John Schmitz, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, stated, “The fourth quarter concluded a record year for Select across a number of
key operational and financial metrics. During full-year 2025, we improved our consolidated margins, increased adjusted EBITDA, streamlined our Water Services segment, deployed high-performing chemical product offerings that drove significant
market share capture, and most importantly, made great strides with our ongoing Northern Delaware water infrastructure network build-out. In 2025, we proudly surpassed one billion barrels of cumulative produced water recycled, culminating from a
multi-year strategic effort that has concurrently driven more than 800% revenue growth in our Water Infrastructure segment since the beginning of 2021. This milestone achievement has driven significant value to not only Select and our shareholders,
but also the regions and communities where we operate.
“During 2025, we significantly bolstered our long-term Water Infrastructure growth strategy by adding 950,000 acres under new dedication with an 11-year average
contract length, while also adding long-term diversification potential with our first large-scale municipal & industrial project, multiple lithium extraction partnerships across key basins, and multiple successful beneficial reuse pilots. We
continued to add to our infrastructure footprint with new contract wins during the fourth quarter, and importantly, added multiple sizable MVC awards that underpin future growth alongside additional acreage dedication expansions. Included in the
fourth quarter development wins was the direct conveyance from a key customer in the Northern Delaware Basin of three treated produced water pits and a disposal permit, which we have already drilled and completed. This, and prior, asset conveyance
from operators to Select remains a strong endorsement of the value-add solutions we are providing to our customers with our large-scale infrastructure networks.
"We are rapidly scaling a differentiated produced water infrastructure business that focuses and builds around a commercial recycling-first platform. This allows our
fixed recycling facilities to serve as aggregation points and distribution hubs for significant produced water volumes, supported by large-diameter dual-lined gathering and distribution pipeline systems, interconnecting with disposal and, in the
future, potential beneficial reuse or mineral extraction. Our growing gathering and distribution pipeline networks allow us to water balance across a broad geographic footprint – managing the regional supply and demand of oilfield water to where it
is needed, or to reallocate from regions of oversupply or potential pore pressure risk to alternative sustainable disposal solutions.
“As we continue our expansive New Mexico system build-out, we are working closely with our customers to support their evolving development schedules alongside our
build-out timelines. We continue to find value in the integrated solutions we can provide, with our temporary water transfer logistics capabilities allowing us to manage customer schedule variability efficiently and flexibly. For example, during
the fourth quarter, while we saw lower growth than anticipated on our fixed infrastructure as schedule timelines adjusted, we saw a 77% uplift in our temporary water transfer service revenues in New Mexico, resulting in a sizable outperformance
during the quarter for our Water Services segment as compared to our prior expectations. We expect a growing shift in volume activity onto our fixed infrastructure network in the coming months, which should drive high-margin sequential growth for
the Water Infrastructure segment during the first quarter and further throughout 2026.
“Our Chemical Technologies segment finished the year with a record fourth quarter, resulting in annual gains of 19%, 57% and 45% in revenue, gross profit and gross
profit before D&A, respectively, in 2025 as compared to 2024. Supported by the outsized growth in New Mexico, the Water Services segment outperformed expectations and traditional fourth quarter seasonality, posting a 7% sequential revenue
increase and a 39% and 16% sequential increase in gross profit and gross profit before D&A, respectively.
2
“Looking forward to 2026 overall, we expect yet another record setting year for Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated margins as the growth opportunities in our Water
Infrastructure segment continue to expand. With several projects already undergoing construction in addition to our recent awards, we anticipate the Water Infrastructure segment to grow revenue by 20% to 25% on a year-over-year basis in 2026.
“Supported by strong recent gains in 2025, we expect our Chemical Technologies segment to deliver a similar revenue profile in 2026 as compared to full year 2025,
while improving its overall margin profile. On the Water Services side, we expect to maintain a relatively steady annual revenue run-rate as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, with continued margin improvement opportunities, which captures the
ongoing segment performance after accounting for the OMNI divestiture in the third quarter of 2025.
“Overall, we expect the first quarter to grow sequentially from the fourth quarter, with consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $65 – $68 million. To support our growth
objectives, for full year 2026, we are targeting net capital expenditures of $175 – $225 million, after accounting for an expected $10 – $15 million of ongoing asset sales. This includes approximately $50 – $60 million of maintenance capex,
consistent with 2025, with the remaining spend primarily weighted towards our growth capital projects within our Water Infrastructure segment, and particularly the continued build-out of our Northern Delaware Basin network. This capital program
includes all currently contracted development projects, however, we continue to have a strong backlog of future development opportunities and remain highly confident in our ability to secure additional long-term contracts and development projects
during the year, which could provide incremental growth. With a steady trajectory of growth throughout 2026, we believe we are establishing a strong foundation for continued growth into 2027. As we continue to execute on our infrastructure
build-out, we are deploying highly cash-generative facilities and midstream networks to our business. We anticipate an increasingly improved free cash flow profile over time with the ongoing maturation of the Water Infrastructure segment, allowing
for future capital allocation strength and optionality, supported by the resilient, contracted earnings streams we are building. The ongoing expansion of our high-margin, contractually supported Water Infrastructure segment is further enhancing the
quality of our earnings and reinforces our confidence and conviction in Select’s strategic direction.
“In summary, I believe that Select remains distinctively positioned both in the traditional energy industry, and soon beyond, to advance a unique integration of Water
Infrastructure, Water Services and Chemical Technologies solutions underpinned by a growing high-margin, long-term contracted infrastructure business. I look forward to creating further long-term shareholder value in both 2026 and the years to
come,” concluded Schmitz.

For full year 2025, gross profit was $202.4 million, as compared to $219.5 million during full year 2024, driven by $21.0 million of increased depreciation,

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) during full year 2025 of $161.3 million was relatively steady on a year-over-year basis as compared to $160.0
million during full year 2024. Supported by ongoing cost improvement initiatives, the Company is targeting a 5 – 10% reduction in SG&A over the course of 2026 relative to full year 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was $260.3 million during full year 2025 as compared to $258.4 million during full year 2024. Adjusted

while maintaining relatively steady gross margins before D&A as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. With new capital projects and commercialization efforts driving continued growth throughout the second and third quarters of 2026, the

holding steady in the 19% – 20% range, as research and development-led new product initiatives continue to drive higher product margin opportunities in the market. For full year 2026, the Company expects to maintain relatively steady year-over-year
revenues while holding gross margins before D&A steady at the 19% – 20% range expected during the first quarter.

Water Infrastructure Business Development and Acquisition Updates
Since the start of the fourth quarter of 2025, Select has executed multiple new long-term contracts for additional full life-cycle produced water gathering and
distribution infrastructure projects in the Permian Basin and Rockies regions while also adding disposal and storage assets via both acquisition and direct conveyance. In aggregate, these initiatives are expected to add 14 miles of pipeline, 3.5
million barrels of storage and 55,000 barrels per day of disposal capacity to Select’s infrastructure networks, supported by 179,000 dedicated acres and approximately 15 million barrels of MVC volumes. The combined capital expenditures associated

Northern Delaware Produced Water Takeaway Agreements
During the fourth quarter of 2025, Select signed separate 10- and 7-year produced water handling agreements with a large public independent operator for the operator’s
development areas in Lea County, NM. The projects entail the construction of eight miles of pipeline and two new treated produced water pits with a total of two million barrels of storage capacity. The agreement is supported by an approximate
155,000-acre dedication and five million barrels of combined minimum volume commitment for the projects. The facilities are expected to be operational by the end of the second quarter of 2026.

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 supply limitations, which may be exacerbated by the recent Middle East conflicts and the resumption of previous sanctioned
oil from Venezuela; the severity and duration of world health events, and any resulting impact on commodity prices and supply and demand considerations; the impact of central bank policy actions, such
as sustained, elevated interest rates in response to, among other things, high rates of inflation, and disruptions in the bank and capital markets; the degree to which consolidation among our customers may affect spending on U.S. drilling and
completions activity; changing 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 migration initiatives;
the level of capital spending and access to capital markets by oil and gas companies, 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 impact of regulatory and related policy actions by federal, state and/or local governments, such as the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022, which may negatively impact the future production of oil and gas in the U.S., thereby reducing demand for our services; 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; changes in global political or economic conditions, generally, and in the markets we serve, including the rate of inflation and potential economic recession; and other factors discussed or referenced
in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. Investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before depreciation, amortization and accretion (“D&A”), gross margin before D&A and free cash flow are not financial
measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We define EBITDA as net income (loss), 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, 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/(gains) on unconsolidated entities plus tax receivable agreements expense and
less remeasurement gain on business combination. We define gross profit before D&A as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding cost of sales D&A expense. We define gross margin before D&A as gross profit before D&A divided by
revenue. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus proceeds received from sale of property and equipment. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A,
gross margin before D&A and free cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide useful information to external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies
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 non-recurring items outside the control of our management team. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A and free cash flow because we believe they provide useful information
regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.
Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Gross profit and gross margin are the GAAP measures most directly
comparable to gross profit before D&A and gross margin before D&A, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow. 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 exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A or free cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit before D&A, gross margin before D&A and free cash flow 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.
For forward-looking non-GAAP measures, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure as the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation, including potential acquisition-related transaction costs as well as the purchase price accounting allocation of the recent acquisitions and the
resulting impacts to depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, among other items is not available to the Company without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty and impracticability of predicting certain amounts required by GAAP
with a reasonable degree of accuracy at this time.

Management expects first-quarter 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $65–$68 million. For 2026, they anticipate Water Infrastructure revenue growth of 20–25% year over year, relatively steady revenues in Water Services and Chemical Technologies, and targeted 5–10% SG&A reduction versus 2025.
What are Select Water Solutions’ 2026 capital spending plans?
For full-year 2026, Select Water Solutions targets net capital expenditures of $175–$225 million, after $10–$15 million of expected asset sales. About $50–$60 million is maintenance capital, with the balance focused on growth projects, especially the Northern Delaware Basin water infrastructure network.

As of December 31, 2025, Select Water Solutions held $18.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and had $320 million of borrowings under its sustainability-linked credit facility. Total liquidity stood at $163.6 million, supported by available borrowing capacity and existing cash resources.
How strong was Select Water Solutions’ cash flow in 2025?
Net cash provided by operating activities was $214.7 million in 2025, down from $234.9 million in 2024. Heavy growth investment pushed net capital expenditures to $279.3 million, resulting in negative free cash flow when subtracting capital spending and adding proceeds from asset sales.
