Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(Amounts in thousands, except as noted)
(unaudited)
1. Organization and description of business
The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein are those of ProFrac Holdings, LLC (“ProFrac LLC”) and its subsidiaries, which include Best Pump & Flow LP (“Best Flow”) and Alpine Silica, LLC (“Alpine”). ProFrac LLC, on a consolidated basis, is the predecessor to ProFrac Holding Corp. and is referred to herein as “ProFrac Predecessor,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company.” Prior to December 21, 2021, Dan Wilks and Farris Wilks (or entities they control) (collectively, the “Wilks”) held a controlling interest in each of ProFrac LLC, Best Flow and Alpine. Historical periods for ProFrac Predecessor had been presented on a consolidated and combined basis given the common control ownership by the Wilks. On December 21, 2021, all of the then-outstanding membership interests in Best Flow and Alpine were contributed to ProFrac LLC in exchange for membership interests in ProFrac LLC. Accordingly, the results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been retrospectively adjusted to present the operations of ProFrac LLC, Best Flow and Alpine on a combined basis. The acquisitions of Best Flow and Alpine have been accounted for in a manner consistent with the pooling of interest method of accounting, as the transaction was a combination of entities under common control. Under this method of accounting, the statements of operations, equity and cash flows have been adjusted to include all activities of the commonly controlled groups for all periods in which common control existed.
ProFrac Predecessor is a vertically integrated and innovation-driven energy services company providing hydraulic fracturing, completion services and other complementary products and services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production (“E&P”) of North American unconventional oil and natural gas resources. The ProFrac Predecessor operates in three business segments: stimulation services, manufacturing and proppant production.
ProFrac Holding Corp. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation August 17, 2021, to become a holding corporation for ProFrac Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries upon completion of a corporate reorganization in conjunction with a planned initial public offering (“IPO”). On May 12, 2022, ProFrac Holding Corp. completed its IPO of 16,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock") at a public offering price of $ 18.00 per share. On June 6, 2022, an over-allotment option was exercised resulting in an additional 2,228,153 shares of Class A Common Stock being priced at $ 18.00 per share. The IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option generated combined net proceeds of $ 303.9 million, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. The Company used $ 72.9 million of the net proceeds to redeem the membership ownership interests from the then-existing owners of THRC FTSI Related Equity (as described in Note 11 – Acquisitions and Investments) and contributed the remaining proceeds to ProFrac Holdings, LLC. The Company used the remaining proceeds (i) to pay down $ 143.8 million of the outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Credit Facility (as defined herein) (ii) to fully pay the $ 22.0 million of the outstanding borrowings of The Back Stop Note (as defined herein) (iii) pay down $ 22.0 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Closing Date Note (as defined herein) (iv) to pay down $ 20.8 million of the outstanding borrowings of the Equify Bridge Note (as defined herein) and (v) with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate uses and additional repayment of debt.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included within the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2021, balance sheet information has been derived from the 2021 audited financial statements.

Table of Contents
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and (2) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that we determine an arrangement represents a lease, we classify that lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. We capitalize operating and finance leases on our consolidated balance sheets through a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. See Note 9 – Leases for additional information.
Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s products and services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies performance obligations by transferring control over a service or product to a customer. Payment terms are specified in each customer agreement and are typically a specific number of days following satisfaction of the performance obligation. The following are descriptions of the principal activities of each reportable segment from which the Company generates its revenue.
Stimulation services. We generate revenue through the provision of hydraulic fracturing services, which involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into formations to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of wellbores. Our contracts with customers are short term in nature, typically less than four weeks, and have a single performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. Once a stage has been completed, a field ticket is created which includes charges for services performed and any inputs consumed during the service. The signing of the field ticket by a customer representative represents their acceptance of the service and agreement to the amounts to which the Company has the right to invoice and recognize as revenue. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed, upon receipt of a signed field ticket, appropriately depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time.
Manufacturing. We generate revenue through sales of equipment used to perform oilfield services. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized at the point-in-time that control of goods are transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment from our manufacturing facility. Payment terms are specified in each customer agreement and are typically a specific number of days following satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Proppant production. We generate revenue through the sale of frac sand to oilfield service providers and E&P companies. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized at the point-in-time that control of the product is transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment from our facility. We charge our customers on a per-ton basis at current market prices. Payment terms are specified in each customer agreement and are typically a specific number of days following satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are therefore excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess, if any, of the acquisition price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. For significant acquisitions, we utilize third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values for certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement of these fair values requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions which are inherently uncertain.
Adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are made until we obtain all relevant information regarding the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date (the “measurement period”), not to exceed one year from the date of
8
Table of Contents
the acquisition. We recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which we determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts we would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.
See Note 11 — Acquisitions and Investments for information on acquisitions completed during the historical period.
Variable Interest Entities
We evaluate our ownership, contractual and other interest in entities to determine if they are variable interest entities (“VIE”). We evaluate whether we have a variable interest in those entities and the nature and extent of those interests. Based on our evaluation, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the entity in our financial statements.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date. We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases of categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
•
Level 1: The use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1, inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. At March 31, 2022, we had no Level 2 measurements.
•
Level 3: The use of significant unobservable inputs that typically require the use of management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. See Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Interests for more information on our investments using Level 3 measurements.
Our current assets and liabilities contain financial instruments, the most significant of which are trade accounts receivable and payable. We believe the carrying value of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including: (i) the short-term duration of the instruments and (ii) our historical incurrence of and expectations of future bad debt expense. The book value of our floating rate debt approximates fair value because of its floating rate structure.
Income taxes
At March 31, 2022, the ProFrac Predecessor entities were organized as limited liability companies or a limited partnership and were treated as either a disregarded entity or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whereby the ordinary business income or loss and certain deductions were passed-through and reported on the members’ income tax returns. As such, the ProFrac Predecessor was not required to account for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements. Certain state income-based taxes are imposed on the ProFrac Predecessor entities which are reflected as income tax expense or benefit in historical periods.
In connection with the IPO in May 2022 (see Note 15 – Subsequent Events), ProFrac Predecessor became partially owned by ProFrac Holding Corp., a U.S. Internal Revenue Code Subchapter C corporation (“C-Corporation”). ProFrac Holding Corp. is a taxable entity and will be required to account for income taxes under the asset and liability method beginning in the second quarter of 2022.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more-likely-than-not to be realized.
Recently adopted accounting standards
On January 1, 2022, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) accounting standards update for “Leases,” which amended existing guidance to require lessees to recognize liabilities and ROU assets on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements.
9
Table of Contents
We adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 20 22 using the transition method that allows a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.
We have completed our process to implement this standard, and we have designed processes and internal controls necessary for adoption of this standard. We have made policy elections to (i) not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes, (ii) not separate non-lease components from lease components for all of our existing asset classes, (iii) apply the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, lease classification for any expired or existing leases and initial direct costs for existing leases and (iv) apply the practical expedient to apply hindsight in estimating lease term and impairment.
The impact of applying this standard is not expected to significantly impact our results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2022, we recognized ROU assets and liabilities of approximately $ 35.8 million from operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 9 - Leases for additional disclosures related to our adoption this accounting standards update.
New accounting standards to be adopted
We have not yet implemented FASB ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (“CECL”), which requires recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models previously used under GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard also applies to financial assets arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable.
Implementation is currently required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not believe implementation will have a material impact on its financial statements.
We have not yet implemented FASB ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 under GAAP. The new guidance also improves the application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Intangible assets are amortized over the period the Company expects the asset to generate cash flows. As such, we amortize each electric frac license through the remaining license period, beginning when the initial fleet built under each license is placed into service, a period we estimate to be 17 years. For technology acquired during 2021, we estimated this period to be seven years . For technology acquired in 2022 related to the acquisition of FTS International Inc., we estimated the period to be three years . Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $ 0.4 million and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Old ABL Credit Facility
On March 14, 2018, ProFrac LLC entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Old ABL Credit Facility”), with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Old ABL Credit Facility had a maturity date of March 14, 2023 .
LIBOR borrowings under the Old ABL Credit Facility bear interest at the greater of LIBOR or 0.00 %, plus a margin of 1.50 % to 2.00 %, depending on facility utilization. The interest rate was 2.75 % as of December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, the borrowing base was $ 146.2 million, therefore maximum availability under the Old ABL Credit Facility was the facility maximum of $ 105.0 million. There were $ 69.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $ 3.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $ 32.9 million of availability under the Old Credit Facility ABL.
On March 4, 2022, the Old ABL Credit Facility was refinanced and replaced with the New ABL Credit Facility.
Old Term Loan
On September 7, 2018, ProFrac LLC entered into a $ 180.0 million term loan agreement (“Old Term Loan”), which matures on September 15, 2023 , with a group of lenders with Barclays Bank, PLC as administrative agent. Principal payments are due in quarterly installments, however due to prepayments made to date, there will be no required minimum amortization (other than excess cash flow prepayments) before termination of the Old Term Loan. Excess cash flow is calculated quarterly to determine any additional minimum prepayments. On June 24, 2021, ProFrac LLC and its Term Loan lenders reached an agreement to expand the facility by $ 40.0 million.
The Old Term Loan, as amended, requires minimum excess cash flow prepayments as follows, each due approximately 55 days after period-end : $ 0.0 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2021 through and including December 31, 2021, and $ 5.0 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022 through and including June 30, 2023.
LIBOR borrowings under the Old Term Loan bear interest at the greater of LIBOR or 1.25 %, plus a margin of 6.25 % to 8.50 %, depending on the total net leverage ratio as defined under the Old Term Loan. The interest rate was 9.75 % as of December 31, 2021.
The Old Term Loan contained certain restrictive covenants, including a financial covenant which required ProFrac LLC to maintain a total net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of no greater than 2.25 :1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 through and including March 31, 2020, 3.50 :1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through and including March 31,

ProFrac LLC was in compliance with all required covenants as of December 31, 2021.
In February 2022, ProFrac and its Old Term Loan lenders entered into an agreement to amend the Old Term Loan. The amendment expanded the facility by $ 48.0 million.

On July 22, 2020, ProFrac LLC entered into a $ 35.0 million loan agreement with First Financial Bank, N.A. which had a maturity of July 22, 2025 (“Main Street Loan”).

As amended, the Main Street Loan contained certain restrictive covenants which required ProFrac LLC to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 :1.00, and a Maximum Leverage Ratio of 3.50 :1.00. Additionally, the Main Street Loan restricted the payment of distributions or dividends, other than for the payment of taxes.

The First Financial Loan has a maturity date of January 1, 2024 with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5 %, and the loan is to be repaid by equal payments of principal and interest beginning in February 2022 . The First Financial Loan contains certain restricted covenants which require the Company to maintain a fixed charge ratio of at least 1.00 :1.00 and a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.00 :1.00. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2022.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period (defined in the New ABL Credit Facility as (a) any period commencing upon the date that availability shall have been less than the greater of ( i) 12.5 % of the Maximum Credit (which is the lesser of the maximum revolver amount in effect at such time and the borrowing base at such time) and (ii) $ 10.0 million for a period of five consecutive business days and continuing until the date on which availability shall have been at least the greater of (y) 12.5 % of the Maximum Credit and (z) $ 10.0 million for 20 consecutive calendar days or (b) any period commencing on the occurrence of certain specified events of default, and continuing during the period that such specified event of default shall be continuing).

8. Income taxes
At March 31, 2022, the ProFrac Predecessor entities were organized as limited liability companies or a limited partnership and were treated as either a disregarded entity or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whereby the ordinary business income or loss and certain deductions were passed-through and reported on the members’ income tax returns. As such, the ProFrac Predecessor was not required to account for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements. Certain state income-based taxes are imposed on the ProFrac Predecessor entities which are reflected as income tax expense or benefit in historical periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, federal and state tax expense was $ 0.8 million, compared with $ 25,000 of tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
In connection with the IPO in May 2022 (see Note 15 – Subsequent Events), ProFrac Predecessor became partially owned by ProFrac Holding Corp., a C-Corporation. ProFrac Holding Corp. is a taxable entity and will be required to account for income taxes under the asset and liability method beginning in the second quarter of 2022.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, ProFrac Predecessor and its members completed the acquisition of FTSI, a C-Corporation. Through a series of transactions, ProFrac Predecessor obtained ownership of all of the assets and liabilities of FTSI, but the FTSI C-Corporation legal entity was owned by the ProFrac Predecessor members. In connection with the IPO, the FTSI C-Corporation legal entity merged with a subsidiary of ProFrac Holding Corp., which inherited the tax attributes of the FTSI legal entity.
We estimate that ProFrac Holding Corp. will have significant deferred tax assets as a result of the tax attributes it inherited from the FTSI legal entity, however, we anticipate recording a full valuation allowance on ProFrac Holding Corp.’s net deferred tax assets based on our assessment that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. A change in these assumptions could cause a decrease to the valuation allowance, which could materially impact our results of operations.
9. Leases
Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted the new lease accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases. The details of the significant changes to our accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the new lease standard are set out below. We adopted the standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method; accordingly, the comparative information as of December 31, 2021, has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the previous lease standard. Under the new standard, assets and liabilities that arise from all leases are required to be recognized on the balance sheet for lessees. Previously, only capital leases, which are now referred to as finance leases, were recorded on the balance sheet. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of approximately $ 35.8 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Beginning January 1, 2022, for all leases with a term in excess of 12 months, we recognized a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and right-of-use asset representing our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For operating leases, lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and accretion of the lease liability, while finance leases (of which we have none) include both an operating expense and an interest expense component. For all leases with a term of 12 months or less, we elected the practical expedient to not recognize lease assets and liabilities. We recognize lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We are a lessee for several operating leases, related primarily to real estate and light duty vehicles. The majority of our operating leases have remaining lease terms of 10 years or less. None of our leases include options to extend the leases, nor do any include options to terminate the leases. The accounting for leases may require judgment, which includes determining the incremental borrowing rates to utilize in our net present value calculation of lease payments for lease agreements which do not provide an implicit rate.
In connection with the completion of the FTSI Acquisition (as defined below), FTSI conveyed to Wilks Development, LLC, an affiliate of ProFrac LLC, substantially all of FTSI’s owned real property, consisting primarily of FTSI’s hydraulic fracturing equipment manufacturing facilities, in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $ 44.4 million (the “FTSI Sale Leaseback”). We will lease such real property from Wilks Development, LLC in exchange for aggregate monthly lease payments of $ 51.6 million through March 2032. The cash consideration received was $ 3.7 million less than the carrying value of these assets. Because this sale was to an affiliate under common control, we accounted for the $ 3.7 million as an equity transaction recorded as a deemed distribution within our consolidated statements of changes in equity.
Our leasing activities primarily consist of operating leases for administrative offices, manufacturing and maintenance facilities along with some light duty vehicles. We do not lease any equipment on a long-term basis.

Additionally, in January and February of 2021, ProFrac LLC executed two agreements with one of ProFrac LLC’s members for the sale of certain lots of equipment, in exchange for $ 8.7 million in cash, an amount that approximates the net book value of the assets. Under these agreements, for any assets subsequently resold by the member, ProFrac LLC will reimburse the member for a certain percentage of the net loss, or conversely be entitled to a certain percentage of the net gain, at rates established in the agreements. As of March 31, 2022, the majority of the assets have been sold by the member, and ProFrac LLC’s remaining liability of approximately $ 0.2 million for assets that have not been resold has been recorded.
On February 4, 2022, THRC Holdings entered into a Rights Agreement with Encantor Properties LP, one of the sellers from whom the Company purchased the Munger Ranch property, under which the related party was assigned rights to $ 8.1 million of the $ 30.0 million in consideration related to the Munger purchase. As part of the IPO completed in May 2022, the sellers of Munger Ranch were issued 2,114,273 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the $ 30.0 million consideration related to the Munger Ranch purchase. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events.
11. Acquisitions and investments
FTS International, Inc.
On March 4, 2022, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of FTSI for a purchase price of $ 405.7 million, consisting of cash consideration of $ 332.8 million, and THRC Holdings’ equity interest of $ 72.9 million (“THRC FTSI Related Equity”) (collectively the “FTSI Acquisition”).
The THRC FTSI Related Equity was the result of a transaction whereby THRC Holdings, which owned approximately 19.5 % of FTSI, agreed to retain that interest in FTSI in lieu of receiving cash pursuant to the FTSI Merger Agreement. Immediately following the closing of the cash acquisition pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2021, by and among FTSI, ProFrac LLC and ProFrac Acquisitions, Inc. (the “FTSI Merger Agreement”), ProFrac LLC distributed the 80.5 % of the FTSI equity it acquired in such merger to Farris Wilks and THRC Holdings in a manner that resulted in each of them owning 50 % of FTSI (the “FTSI Distribution”), with THRC Holdings receiving a smaller share of the FTSI Distribution and instead retaining certain preferred equity in ProFrac LLC in lieu of its redemption in connection with such distribution.
We have accounted for the acquisition of FTSI using the acquisition method of accounting. We used our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets expected to be acquired and liabilities expected to be assumed at the acquisition date. The majority of the measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

The allocation of the purchase price to FTSI’s net tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets as of March 4, 2022, is preliminary and subject to revisions to the fair value calculations for the identifiable assets and liabilities. The determination and allocation of the purchase consideration are subject to change during the measurement period, up to one year from the date the acquisition closed.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our revenues and pretax earnings included $ 48.6 million and $ 0.1 million loss, respectively, associated with the FTSI acquired operations after the closing on March 4, 2022. In addition, FTSI Acquisition-related costs of approximately $ 3.7 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting of external legal and consulting fees. These costs are classified in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we incurred $ 9.3 million in severance costs in connection with the FTSI Acquisition, which are classified in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared as though the FTSI acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2021. Pro forma amounts are based on the purchase price allocation of the significant acquisition and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported in the future.

Flotek Industries, Inc.
On February 2, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek”), pursuant to which Flotek will provide full downhole chemistry solutions for a minimum of ten hydraulic fleets for three years starting on April 1, 2022, at a price of cost plus 7 % (“Flotek Supply Agreement”). In exchange for entry into the Flotek Supply Agreement, we received $ 10 million in initial principal amount of notes that are convertible into Flotek common stock (“Convertible Notes”) and acquired an additional $ 10 million in principal amount of Convertible Notes in a related private offering transaction. Our equity ownership in Flotek on a fully diluted basis as a result of this investment is approximately 17 %. In addition, we are permitted to designate up to two new directors to Flotek’s board of directors.
On February 16, 2022, we and Flotek agreed to amend the Flotek Supply Agreement to increase the term to ten years and increase the scope to 30 fleets. In exchange for our entry into the amendment to the Flotek Supply Agreement (the “Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment”), Flotek agreed to issue us $ 50 million in initial principal amount of Convertible Notes that will be convertible into
21
Table of Contents
Flotek common stock. The Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment and issuance to us of additional Flotek C onvertible N otes are conditioned upon customary closing conditions including the approval of Flotek’s shareholders. In May 2022, the Flotek shareholders approved the Convertible Notes issuance and the Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events. O ur equity ownership in Flotek on a fully diluted basis after the consummation of these transactions is approximately 43 % , and we will be permitted to designate two additional directors, or up to four new directors to Flotek’s board of directors .
The Flotek Supply Agreement Amendment includes a minimum annual volume commitment whereby we will be obligated to pay Flotek liquidated damages equal to 25% of the shortfall for such year, should we fail to meet the minimum purchase amount.
The notes issued to ProFrac accrue paid-in-kind interest at a rate of 10 % per annum, have a maturity of one year , and convert into common stock of Flotek (a) at the holder’s option at any time prior to maturity, at a price of $ 1.088125 per share, (b) at Flotek’s option, if the volume-weighted average trading price of Flotek’s common stock equals or exceeds $ 2.50 for 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period, or (c) at maturity, at a price of $ 0.8705 (the “Convertible Notes”). We initially recognized the Convertible Notes with an initial principal balance of $ 20 million at $ 20 million.
We have designated our investment in the Convertible Notes as trading securities. Securities designated as trading securities are reported at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in net investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized noncash income of $ 8.1 million as other (expense) income on our consolidated statements of operations related to the change in fair value of the Convertible Notes. The Company had an investment of $ 28.1 million in Flotek as of March 31, 2022, a Level 3 fair value measurement. See Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments for more information on our investments using Level 3 measurements.
Basin Production and Completion LLC
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased Series B-1 Preferred Units of Basin Production and Completion LLC (“BPC”), a manufacturer of equipment used in hydraulic fracturing for $ 4.2 million. This comprises approximately 20 % of the BPC Series B Preferred Units. As of December 31, 2021, we did not exercise significant influence over this entity. As we determined this to be an equity security, we initially recorded our investment at cost, presented as “Investments” in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021.
On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all the series A-1 & B-1 preferred units of BPC for $ 46.0 million (“Basin Units Acquisition”), consisting of $ 40.0 million to BPC for series A-1 & B-1 preferred units and $ 6.0 million to selling holders of BPC series B-1 preferred units. Additionally, on February 14, 2022, the Company made a loan to FHE USA LLC, a subsidiary of BPC for $ 1.25 million. The loan bears interest at the rate of 5 % per annum. Interest is either paid at each calendar quarter end or added to the principal balance at the election of BPC. The loan matures on February 14, 2027 . The Company had an investment of $ 50.2 million in BPC as of March 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, our investments in BPC provide the Company the ability to have significant influence, but not control over BPC’s operations. BPC's business and affairs are managed under the direction of its board of directors, which the Company does not control. Based on our evaluation, we determined that BPC is a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We have elected the fair value option to account for our equity method investment in BPC. See Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Interests for more information on our investments using Level 3 measurements.
EKU
On December 22, 2020, the Company purchased a 25 % stake in EKU, an equipment manufacturer based in Germany, for $ 1.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we accounted for this investment using the equity method as we had significant influence over EKU, and held a voting interest of 20 % or greater, but less than 50 %. In January 2021, the Company obtained a controlling interest in EKU, the results of which are consolidated thereafter.
The Company obtained a 75 % controlling interest in EKU in January 2021 and performed a purchase price allocation in conjunction with the consolidation of this subsidiary. We recognized net working capital of $ 2.5 million, property, plant and equipment of $ 0.4 million, intangible assets of $ 3.5 million and debt of $ 1.4 million at estimated fair value. In consolidation, we eliminated our investment in associate, recognized equity of $ 3.7 million for the value of our 75 % interest, and noncontrolling interest of $ 1.2 million for the value of the minority shareholder positions. See Note 6 – Intangible Assets for additional information related to the recognized intangible assets.

Munger Ranch
The Company entered into an agreement to acquire property in West Texas (“Munger Right Agreement”) in November 2021 for a purchase price of $ 30.0 million. Under the Munger Right Agreement, the sellers were given the option to receive the consideration in cash, or in the event of an IPO prior to November 17, 2022, in equity, at the sellers’ election. Under the equity option, in the event the Company completes an IPO, the sellers would be entitled to 1.5 % of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the IPO. Each seller initially elected the equity option, as such this was a non-cash transaction for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Munger Right Agreement includes a ‘Make Whole’ provision. Under the Make Whole provision, if any seller liquidates 100 % of the Class A shares they are issued prior to the one-year anniversary of the IPO, then the company will pay the difference between the IPO price of the shares disposed and the disposal price of the Class A shares. As of March 31, 2022, the liability of $ 30.0 million is presented within Other Current Liabilities in our Balance Sheet. The acquired property was treated as an asset acquisition and not an acquisition of a business, and is presented within Property, plant, and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022.
On February 4, 2022, THRC Holdings entered into a Rights Agreement with Encantor Properties LP, one of the sellers from whom the Company purchased the Munger Ranch property, under which the related party was assigned rights to $ 8.1 million of the $ 30.0 million in consideration related to the Munger purchase.
As part of the IPO completed in May 2022, the sellers of Munger Ranch were issued 2,114,273 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the $ 30.0 million consideration related to the Munger Ranch purchase. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events.
iO-TEQ, LLC
The Company acquired iO-TEQ, LLC (“IOT”) in October 2021 for $ 2.2 million and performed a purchase price allocation at the acquisition date. We recognized net working capital of $ 0.2 million, property, plant and equipment of $ 0.1 million, intangible assets of $ 2.4 million and debt of $ 0.4 million at estimated fair value. See Note 6 – Intangible Assets for additional information related to the recognized intangible assets.
Best Flow minority interests
In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Eagleton Venture, Inc. (“Eagleton”) to purchase Eagleton’s 15.172 % interest in Best Flow for a purchase price of $ 3.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022. Eagleton was paid $ 3.9 million in cash.
12. Fair value of financial instruments
Assets and liabilities recorded on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values.
The Company’s financial instruments and investments that are carried at fair value consist mainly of Level 3 assets. Level 3 assets that are measured on a recurring basis relate to the Company’s investments in (i) Convertible Notes of Flotek, designated as trading securities and (ii) the equity method investment in BPC, for which we elected the fair value option, as described in Note 11 – Acquisitions and Investments for disclosure of the terms of these investments. The Company did no t have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2022. We had no Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2021.

13. Commitments and contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we are the subject of, or party to a number of pending or threatened legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that, other than as described below, the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations.
Patterson v. FTS International Manufacturing, LLC and FTS International Services, LLC : On June 24, 2015, Joshua Patterson filed a lawsuit against the Company in the 115th Judicial District Court of Upshur County, Texas, alleging, among other things, that the Company was negligent with respect to an automobile accident in 2013. Mr. Patterson sought monetary relief of more than $ 1 million. On July 19, 2018, a jury returned a verdict of approximately $ 100 million, including punitive damages, against the Company. The trial court reduced the judgment on November 12, 2018, to approximately $ 33 million. The Company’s insurance carriers appealed and the Twelfth Court of Appeals reversed the verdict in its entirety on August 26, 2020, remanding the case for a new trial. The Company’s insurance carriers are currently appealing one of the appellate findings with the Texas Supreme Court. No new trial date has been set. While the outcome of this case is uncertain, the Company has met its insurance deductible for this matter and we do not expect the ultimate resolution of this case to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Lonestar Prospects, Ltd. d/b/a Vista Sand v. ProFrac Services, LLC : ProFrac Services, LLC (“ProFrac Services”) entered into a Master Purchase Agreement For Products And/Or Services with Lonestar Prospects, Ltd. d/b/a Vista Sand (“Vista”), dated November 27, 2017 (the “Vista MSA”), as amended by the First Addendum to Vista MSA and the First Amendment to Vista MSA, both of which are dated June 10, 2018 (collectively, the “Vista Agreement”). Under the terms of the Vista Agreement, ProFrac Services agreed to purchase certain quantities of sand from Vista. Vista filed a complaint against ProFrac Services in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas on March 15, 2021, in which it alleges that ProFrac Services breached the terms of the Vista Agreement by failing to purchase the required amount of sand or pay for the underpurchased amounts as required by the Vista Agreement. Vista is seeking damages of approximately $ 8.31 million. Vista and ProFrac Services have entered into a mutually agreed upon Scheduling Order signed by the Court on February 12, 2022. Trial docket call for this matter is currently scheduled for September 6, 2022.

When deemed necessary, we establish reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve is based on an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, it is reasonably possible we could incur additional losses with respect to those matters in which reserves have been established. As of March 31, 2022, we have recorded an estimated liability of $ 4.0 million related to a contract dispute claim with a vendor.
We will continue to evaluate our litigation on a quarterly basis and will establish and adjust any litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then current status of litigation.
14. Segment information
Our business has three reportable segments: Stimulation services, Manufacturing and Proppant production. Each reportable segment represents a separate business unit that operated as a standalone company prior to the reorganization of the Company in December 2021. Following the reorganization, each reportable segment continues to have distinct management and prepares discrete financial information for the segment (consistent with when each operated as a standalone business). FTSI is part of our stimulation services segment. Our chief operating decision makers review the discrete segment financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of profitability, to evaluate the performance of our segments and make resource allocation decisions.
We account for intersegment transactions as if the transactions were with third parties, that is, at estimated current market prices. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, intersegment revenues for the manufacturing segment were 84 % and 86 %, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, intersegment revenues for the proppant production segment were 69 % and 29 %, respectively.
The performance of our segments is evaluated primarily on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax provision, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) loss on disposal of assets, and (v) other unusual or non-recurring charges, such as costs related to our initial public offering, non-recurring supply commitment charges, certain bad debt expense and gain on extinguishment of debt.
Segment information, and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
