REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ProPetro Holding Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 11 to the financial statements, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) as of December 31, 2024, and changed the composition of its segment information in 2023. We also have audited the adjustments necessary to restate the 2022 segment information and to reflect the adoption of ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) to the 2022 segment information, as provided in Note 11. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the 2022 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2022 financial statements taken as a whole.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
53
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Business Combination—Aqua Prop, LLC
As discussed in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in Aqua Prop LLC (AquaProp) on May 31, 2024, for total consideration transferred of $35.8 million, which included contingent consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $10.9 million. The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations whereby the fair value of the consideration transferred was allocated to the assets acquired, including a customer relationship intangible asset of $18.6 million, and liabilities assumed based upon their acquisition date fair values. Management estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration by applying a probability-weighted expected return method for the different scenarios that may occur based upon the amount of additional equipment delivered by the seller, at the request of the Company, and the amount of wet sand expected to be delivered by such equipment within a 30-month period. Management estimated the fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset using a discounted cash flow method whereby forecasted cash flows expected to be derived from the intangible asset over the economic life of the asset, adjusted for expected attrition, are discounted to present value.
We identified the valuation of the customer relationship intangible asset and the contingent consideration liability at the AquaProp acquisition date as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions management used in estimating the fair values, including forecasted cash flows and the selection of a discount rate for the customer relationship intangible asset and forecasted tonnage of wet sand expected to be delivered for the contingent consideration. Auditing management’s assumptions involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increase in audit effort, including the use of valuation specialists, due to the impact these assumptions could have on the accounting estimates.
Our audit procedures related to the valuation of the customer relationship intangible asset and the contingent consideration liability included the following, among others:
• We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to management’s business combination fair value estimates and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls over management’s review of significant assumptions used in the fair value estimates.
• We read the purchase and sale agreement to understand and evaluate the terms of the acquisition.
• We tested the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of cash flows in the valuation of the customer relationship intangible asset by comparing them to historical results and evaluating publicly available industry information.
• We tested the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of tonnage of wet sand to be delivered by comparing the estimated capacity of each piece of equipment to in-process contracts and considering the impact of the estimated timing of the delivery to the estimate of fair value.
• We utilized our valuation specialists to assist in the following procedures, among others:
◦ Evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation models used by management to estimate the fair values of the customer relationship intangible asset and contingent consideration and testing their mathematical accuracy.
◦ Evaluating the appropriateness of the methodology used by management to develop the attrition rate for the customer relationship.
◦ Comparing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates to publicly available market data and verifying the accuracy of the calculations.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets—Fair Value of Conventional Tier II Diesel-only Hydraulic Fracturing Pumping Units and Associated Conventional Assets
54
As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, at September 30, 2024, the Company performed a recoverability assessment on the long-lived assets in its conventional Tier II diesel-only hydraulic fracturing pumping units and associated conventional assets asset group (the “Tier II Units”). In performing the recoverability assessment, the Company first compared the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated over the remaining useful life of the asset group’s primary asset. Because the carrying value of the asset group exceeded the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the Company then estimated the fair value of the asset group, utilizing both a market approach and a cost approach, and recorded an impairment charge of $188.6 million.
We identified management’s estimated fair value of the Tier II Units as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions management used in estimating the fair value of the assets, including the selection of the valuation methods used to estimate fair value, the determination of the highest and best use of the assets, and consideration of the appropriateness of market data, among others. Auditing management’s assumptions involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increase in audit effort, including the use of our valuation specialists, due to the impact these assumptions could have on the accounting estimate.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the Tier II Units included the following, among others:
• We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to management’s estimate of fair value of the Tier II Units and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the underlying assets.
• We tested the completeness and accuracy of the Tier II Units by agreeing the carrying values and other relevant information to the underlying support.
• We utilized our valuation specialists to assist in the following procedures, among others:
◦ Evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation models used by management to estimate the fair value of the Tier II Units and testing their mathematical accuracy.
◦ Evaluating management’s determination of the highest and best use of the Tier II Units.
◦ Corroborating managements estimates of fair value by comparing such estimates to publicly available market data.
Goodwill Impairment Testing—Wireline Reporting Unit
As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, management tests the Company’s goodwill for impairment, at the reporting unit level, at December 31 of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the goodwill might be impaired. To test goodwill for impairment, management compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount, including the recorded goodwill. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company's estimated reporting unit fair value is based on a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach involves the use of a discounted cash flow method with the cash flow projections discounted at an appropriate discount rate. The market approach involves the use of comparable public companies’ market multiples in estimating the fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $23.6 million in its Wireline reporting unit, which represented a full impairment of the goodwill in that reporting unit.
We identified the valuation of the Wireline reporting unit as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions management used in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit, including revenue growth rates and margin percentages used in the projected cash flows, the determination of the discount rate applicable to the reporting unit, and the identification of comparable guideline public companies and market multiples. Auditing management’s assumptions involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increase in audit effort, including the use of valuation specialists, due to the impact these assumptions could have on the estimate of fair value.
Our audit procedures related to the estimated fair value of the Wireline reporting unit included the following, among others:
• We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to management’s impairment assessment and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement.
55
• We tested the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of cash flows, including revenue and margins, by comparing them to historical results and evaluating publicly available industry information.
• We tested the underlying data used by management in the development of the forecasts of cash flows for accuracy and completeness by agreeing it to source data.
• We utilized our valuation specialists to assist in the following procedures, among others:
◦ Evaluating the appropriateness of the Company's valuation methodology and testing the mathematical accuracy.
◦ Testing the reasonableness of the discount rate using in the income approach by comparing the inputs used by management to publicly available market data.
◦ Evaluating the comparability of the guideline public companies identified by management based upon publicly available market data.
◦ Corroborating the market multiples selected by the Company in the market approach by comparing them publicly available market data.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ProPetro Holding Corp.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited ProPetro Holding Corp.'s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Aqua Prop, LLC from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination in the second quarter of 2024. We have also excluded Aqua Prop, LLC from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Aqua Prop, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary whose total assets and revenue represent approximately 4.9% and 3.1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
ProPetro Holding Corp. (“Holding”), a Texas corporation was formed on April 14, 2007, and it is a holding company for its wholly owned subsidiaries ProPetro Services, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Services”), Silvertip Completion Services Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Silvertip”), Aqua Prop, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“AquaProp”) and ProPetro Energy Solutions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“PROPWR”) . Services, Silvertip and AquaProp together offer hydraulic fracturing, wireline, cementing, wet sand solutions and other complementary services to oil and gas producers, located primarily in Texas and New Mexico. PROPWR has not begun any revenue-generating activities yet and was formed to provide power generation services to oil and gas producers and non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers, located primarily in Texas and New Mexico and will do business as PROPWR. Holding was converted and incorporated as a Delaware Corporation on March 8, 2017.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in these notes to consolidated financial statements to “ProPetro Holding Corp.,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms refer to Holding, Servi ces, Silvertip, AquaProp, and PROPWR.
On November 1, 2024, we sold our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to Big 4 Services LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Big 4”), solely owned by a former employee as part of a strategic repositioning. We received a promissory note for $ 13.0 million as consideration. The note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of Big 4 and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from Big 4. The note receivable is to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10 % per annum from March 31, 2025 to December 31, 2029. We recorded a gain on disposal of $ 8.2 million related to the sale of the business within loss on disposal of assets and business within our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The former employee was part of our cementing operations until November 1, 2024 and is no longer affiliated with the Company. The Company does not expect to have any significant continuing involvement with Big 4 other than collection of the note receivable.
On May 31, 2024, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in AquaProp, which provides wet sand solutions for hydraulic fracturing sand requirements at oil well sites (the “AquaProp Acquisition”). The cash consideration for the AquaProp Acquisition includes $ 13.7 million paid to the seller, $ 7.2 million paid to settle the seller’s outstanding debt, and $ 0.3 million paid for the seller’s transaction expenses . As a result of the acquisition, we expanded our operations into the wet sand service business unit.
On April 22, 2024, we entered into a sub-agreement for hydraulic fracturing services with XTO Energy Inc. ("XTO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil, pursuant to which we will provide hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumpdown services with two committed FORCE ® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets with the option to add a third FORCE ® fleet (also with wireline and pumpdown services) for a period of three years or for contracted hours, whichever occurs last, with respect to each fleet, subject to certain termination and release rights.
On December 1, 2023, we consummated the purchase of the assets and operations of Par Five Energy Services LLC (“Par Five”), which provides cementing services in the Delaware Basin in exchange for $ 25.3 million of cash including deferred cash consideration of $ 3.1 million which is payable to Par Five or its beneficiary on June 1, 2025, with interest at 4.0 % per annum (the “Par Five Acquisition”) . Par Five’s business complements our existing cementing business and enables us to serve both the Midland and Delaware sub-basins of the Permian Basin.
On November 1, 2022, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Silvertip, which provides wireline perforation and ancillary services solely in the Permian Basin in exchange for 10.1 million shares of our common stock valued at $ 106.7 million, $ 30.0 million of cash, the payoff of $ 7.2 million of assumed debt, and the payment of certain other closing and transaction costs (“the Silvertip Acquisition”).
On December 31, 2018, we consummated the purchase of certain pressure pumping assets and real property from Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (“Pioneer”) and Pioneer Pumping Services, LLC (“Pioneer Pumping Services”) (the “Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition”). In connection with the Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition, Pioneer received 16.6 million shares of our common stock and $ 110.0 million in cash. In May 2024, Pioneer merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) after which ExxonMobil became the owner of these shares. The Company currently provides pressure pumping, wireline and other services to ExxonMobil and previously provided such services to Pioneer.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holding and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Services, Silvertip, AquaProp, and PROPWR. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates — Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, useful lives for depreciation of property and equipment, estimates of fair value of property and equipment, estimates related to fair value of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill, intangible assets, discount rates underlying our lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, including any related valuation allowances, and estimates of fair value of stock‑based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition — The Company’s services are sold based upon contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
Hydraulic fracturi ng is an oil well completion technique, which is part of the overall well completions process. It is a well-stimulation technique intended to optimize hydrocarbon flow paths during the completion phase of shale w ellbores. The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into shale formations. Our hydraulic fracturing contracts with our customers have one performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed faithfully depicts how our hydraulic fracturing services are transferred to our customers over time.
Acidizing, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involves a well-stimulation technique where acid or similar chemicals are injected under pressure into formations to form or expand fissures. Our acidizing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service or sale of acid or chemical when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize acidizing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation.
Wet sand solutions, which is part of our hydraulic fracturing operating segment, involve providing onsite storage and handling of wet sand used in the completion phase of shale wellbores. We recognize revenue from sale of wet sand, location services and transportation services over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price, fixed units per stage and actual stages completed.
Our cementing services use pressure pumping equipment to deliver a slurry of liquid cement that is pumped down a well between the casing and the borehole. Our cementing contracts have one performance obligation, satisfied at a point-in-time, upon completion of the contracted service when control is transferred to the customer. Jobs for these services are typically short term in nature, with most jobs completed in less than a day. We recognize cementing revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the performance obligation.
Wireline services (including pumpdown) are oil well completion techniques, which are part of the well completion services. Our wireline services utilize equipment with a drum of wireline to deploy perforating guns in the well to perforate the casing, cement, and formation. Once the well is perforated, the well can be fractured. Pumpdown utilizes pressure pumping equipment to pump water into the well to deploy perforating guns attached to wireline through the lateral section of a well. Our wireline contracts with our customers have one performance obligation, which is the contracted total stages, satisfied over time. We recognize revenue over time using a progress output, unit-of-work performed method, which is based on the agreed fixed transaction price and actual stages completed. We believe that
65

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
recognizing revenue based on actual stages completed faithfully depicts how our wireline services are transferred to our customers over time. In addition, certain of our wireline equipment is entitled to daily equipment charges while the equipment is on the customer’s locations. The Company recognizes revenue related daily equipment charges on a daily basis as the performance obligations are met.
The transaction price for each performance obligation for all our completion services is fixed per our contracts with our customers.
Coiled tubing involves complementary downhole well completion/remedial services. The performance obligation for these services had a fixed transaction price which was satisfied at a point-in-time upon completion of the service when control was transferred to the customer. Accordingly, we recognized revenue at a point-in-time, upon completion of the service and transfer of control to the customer. Effective September 1, 2022, we shut down our coiled tubing operations, and disposed of all of our coiled tubing assets.
The Company assesses customers’ ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including historical payment experience and financial condition. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days.
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 if the definition of a business is met. For significant acquisitions, we utilize third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values for certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed using discounted cash flows and other applicable valuation techniques. We record any acquisition related costs as expenses when incurred.
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 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.
The estimation of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations requires significant judgment. Our fair value estimates require us to use significant observable and unobservable inputs. The estimates of fair value are also subject to significant variability, are sensitive to changes in market conditions, and are reasonably likely to change in the future. A significant change in the observable and unobservable inputs and determination of fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired could significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash — Our restricted cash related to cash received from a customer in connection with our contract with the customer to provide FORCE ® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing equipment and services. The restricted cash was used to pay for contractually agreed upon expenditures. Our restricted cash balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively.
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed and billable to customers. At December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023, amounts billed to customers (net of allowance for credit losses) included as part of our accounts receivable was $ 148.8 million , $ 181.6 million, and $ 164.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, accrued revenue (unbilled receivable) included as part of our accounts receivable was $ 47.2 million, $ 55.4 million and $ 51.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation for our partially completed hydraulic fracturing and wireline operations was $ 38.7 million, which is expected to be completed and recognized within one month following the current period balance sheet date. At December 31, 2023, the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation for our then partially completed hydraulic fracturing and wireline operations was $ 33.8 million, which was recorded as part of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is based on the evaluation of both our historic collection experience and economic outlook for the oil and gas industry. We evaluated the historic loss experience on our accounts receivable and also considered separately customers with receivable balances that may be negatively impacted by current or future economic developments and market conditions. While the Company has not

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
experienced significant credit losses in the past and has not yet seen material changes to the payment patterns of its customers, the Company cannot predict with any certainty the degree to which the impacts of depressed economic activities, including the potential impact of periodically adjusted borrowing base limits, level of hedged production, or unforeseen well shut-downs may affect the ability of its customers to timely pay receivables when due. Accordingly, in future periods, the Company may revise its estimates of expected credit losses.
The table below shows a summary of allowance for credit losses:
(in thousands)
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022

Provision for credit losses during the period — 34 202
Write-off during the period ( 236 ) ( 217 ) —
Balance - December 31, $ — $ 236 $ 419
Contract Assets and Liabilities — We do not have any significant contract asset balances other than amounts billed to customers and accrued revenue discussed in the Accounts Receivable section above. Contract liabilities include cash advances from a customer in connection with our contract with the customer to provide FORCE ® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing equipment and services. These cash advances from the customer will be credited towards the customer’s invoice as our revenue performance obligations are met over the contract period. The cash advances received represent contract liabilities in connection with the performance of certain completion services. The cash advance (contract liability) balances, which are included in accrued and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, were $ 11.8 million, $ 19.2 million, and $ 10.0 million at December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 an d 2023, we recognized revenue of $ 6.7 million, and $ 5.7 million, respectively, from the cash advance amount outstanding at the beginning of the period.
Inventories — Inventories, which consists only of raw materials and fluid ends, are stated at lower of average cost and net realizable value.
Note Receivable — Note receivable is stated at face value plus accrued interest and represents the consideration received for sale of our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to a business owned by a former employee and is secured by substantially all assets of the former employee’s business and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from the business. The note receivable is to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10 % per annum from March 31, 2025, to December 31, 2029. At December 31, 2024, the note receivable had a carrying amount of $ 13.2 million including accrued interest, which the Company expects to be fully collectible. Of the carrying amount at December 31, 2024, the amount collectible within one year was $ 2.1 million and the amount collectible beyond one year was $ 11.1 million, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet under other current assets and other noncurrent assets, respectively.
Property and Equipment — The Company’s property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation — Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight‑line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Land
Indefinite
Buildings and property improvements
5 - 30 years
Vehicles
1 ‑ 5 years
Equipment
1 ‑ 22 years
Leasehold improvements
5 ‑ 20 years
Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, including certain major components of our completion services equipment that are replaced, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is recognized as a gain or loss in the statement of operations. A significant portion of our loss on disposal of assets and businesses relates to replacement of major components like fluid and power ends. The Company recorded a loss on disposal of assets and businesses of $ 7.5 million , $ 73.0 million, and $ 102.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of Long‑Lived Assets — In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long‑Lived Assets , the Company reviews its long‑lived assets to be held and used whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset group is less than the carrying amount of such asset group. In this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , we recorded property and equipment impairment expense of approximately $ 188.6 million in connection with our conventional Tier II diesel-only hydraulic fracturing pumping units and associated conventional assets, (the “Tier II Units”) . No property and equipment impairment expense were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. D uring the year ended December 31, 2022 , w e recorded property and equipment impairment expense of approximately $ 57.5 million in connection with our DuraStim® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing equipment.
The Company accounts for long‑lived assets to be disposed of at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell once management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets.
Goodwill — Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities recognized in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. The determination of impairment is made by comparing the carrying amount of a reporting unit with its fair value, which is generally calculated using a combination of market and income approaches. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, no further testing is performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, we consider goodwill to be impaired, and the amount of impairment loss is calculated and recorded in the statement of operations.
On May 31, 2024, we acquired AquaProp for $ 35.8 million. We accounted for the AquaProp Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill of $ 0.9 million was recorded within our hydraulic fracturing operating segment as of the AquaProp Acquisition Date (as defined below), which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed.
On November 1, 2022, we acquired Silvertip for $ 148.1 million. We accounted for the Silvertip Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill of $ 23.6 million was recorded within our wireline operating segment as of the Silvertip Acquisition Date (as defined below), which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed.
We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other , as of December 31, 2024, and determined that the goodwill in our wireline operating segment and reporting unit was fully impaired due to the Company updating its outlook for this reporting unit as a result of decreased revenue and profitability experienced during the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill impairment expense of $ 23.6 million in our wireline reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2024. No impairment to the carrying value of goodwill for our hydraulic fracturing reporting unit was required.
The following table summarizes goodwill by operating segment as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 and changes for the years then ended:

Intangible Assets — Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trademark/trade name, favorable contracts acquired in connection with the acquisition of S ilvertip and AquaProp and internally developed software costs. In connection with the acquisition of Silvertip, we added intangible assets consisting of $ 46.5 million of customer relationships and $ 10.8 million of trademark/trade name. In connection with the acquisition of AquaProp, we added intangible assets consisting of $ 18.6 million of customer relationships, $ 1.3 million of trademark/trade name and $ 2.2 million of favorable contracts. Intangible assets are amortized on a basis that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized on a straight‑line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets.
Leases — In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception and evaluates identified leases for operating and finance lease accounting. Operating or finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses a discount rate based on its estimated incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and economic considerations as its lease payments at the lease commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to renew the lease or purchase the underlying assets, however, the Company typically cannot determine its intent to renew the lease or purchase the assets with reasonable certainty at inception. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition practical expedient provided by ASC 842 in which leases with a term of twelve months or less will not be recognized on the balance sheet, and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for real estate class of assets. We elected to analogize to the measurement guidance of ASC 360 to capitalize costs incurred to place a leased asset into its intended use and to present such capitalized costs as part of the related lease right-of-use asset cost as initial direct costs.
Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary
69

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
differences, projected future taxable income, and the results of recent operations. If we determine that we would not be able to fully realize our deferred tax assets in the future, we would record a valuation allowance.
Deferred Loan Costs — The Company capitalized certain costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of its revolving credit facility, including lender, legal, and accounting fees. These costs are being amortized over the term of the related loan using the straight‑line method. Unamortized deferred loan costs associated with loans paid off or refinanced with different lenders are expensed in the period in which such an event occurs. Deferred loan costs are classified as a reduction of long‑term debt or in certain instances as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of deferred loan costs is recorded as interest expense in the statement of operations, and during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the amount of expense recorded was $ 0.4 million, $ 0.4 million, and $ 0.8 million, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes the cost of stock-based awards on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is usually the vesting period under the fair value method. Total compensation cost is measured on the grant date or modification date, as applicable, using fair value estimates.
Insurance Financing — The Company annually renews its commercial insurance policies, and may choose to either directly pay the insurance premium or finance a portion of the premium. If the Company finances a portion of the premium, a prepaid insurance asset is recorded and amortized monthly over the relevant period.
Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company’s assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash balances are maintained in financial institutions, which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions in which accounts are maintained and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The receivables of the Company are with credible operators in the oil and natural gas industries. The Company performs ongoing evaluations as to the financial condition of its customers with respect to trade receivables.
Share Repurchases — All shares of common stock repurchased through the Company's share repurchase program are retired upon repurchase. The Company accounts for the purchase price of repurchased common stock in excess of par value ($ 0.001 per share of common stock) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, and will continue to do so until additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero. Thereafter, any excess purchase price will be recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.
Variable Interest Entities — The Company may enter into strategic investments or other arrangements that are considered variable interests and such entities are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”). If the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it is required to consolidate the entity. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company evaluates, at the inception of the Company’s involvement with a VIE and on an ongoing basis, whether it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of its VIE investments requires significant assumptions and judgments. VIEs that are not consolidated are accounted for under the measurement alternative, equity method, amortized cost, or other appropriate methodology based on the nature of the interest held.
Change in Accounting Estimates — Current trends in hydraulic fracturing equipment operating conditions such as larger pads, changes to job design and increased pumping hours per day have resulted in shorter useful lives for certain critical components that are included in our property and equipment assets. These recent trends necessitated a review of useful lives of our critical components like fluid ends, power ends, hydraulic fracturing units and other components in the first quarter of 2023. We determined that the estimated useful life of fluid ends is now less than one year, resulting in our determination that costs associated with the replacement of these components will no longer be capitalized, but instead recorded in inventories and amortized to cost of services over their estimated useful life. We have also shortened the estimated useful lives of power ends to two years from five years and hydraulic fracturing units to ten years from fifteen years . This change in accounting estimates was made effective January 1, 2023, and accounted for prospectively. The net effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2024, was a $ 15.6 million increase in net loss, or $ 0.15 per basic and diluted share, respectively. The net effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2023, was a $ 19.1 million decrease in net income, or $ 0.17 per basic and diluted share, respectively.
The Company plans to phase out its Tier II Units earlier than the current weighted average remaining useful life of this asset group in response to decreasing customer demand for and related pricing pressures on this asset group. Accordingly we shortened the remaining useful lives of those Tier II Units that currently have useful lives beyond 2027 to no longer than the
70

end of 2027 to align with management's use and expected economic life. This change was made effective October 1, 2024. The net effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2024, was a $ 1.7 million increase in net loss, or $ 0.02 per basic and diluted share, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”). The amendments in the ASU represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. ASU 2023-06 will become effective for each amendment on the effective date of the SEC's corresponding disclosure rule changes. We do not expect ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements .
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, 1) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”) and 2) an amount for other segment items representing the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU also requires public entities to provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit or loss but at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles under GAAP. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and requires a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU 2023-07 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as required under this standard. See Note 11. Reportable Segment Information.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which requires disaggregation of certain components included in the Company’s effective tax rate and income taxes paid disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements but do not expect it will have a material impact.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income: Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) , which requires public business entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date, which revised the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 for interim periods . The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 on our consolidated financial statements.

AquaProp Acquisition
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in AquaProp, which provides wet sand solutions for hydraulic fracturing sand requirements at oil well sites. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its operations into the wet sand service business unit.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to AquaProp at the acquisition date:
(in thousands)
Fair value of purchase consideration:
Cash $ 21,216
Deferred cash consideration 3,664
Contingent consideration 10,900
Total consideration $ 35,780
Cash consideration includes $ 13.7 million paid to the seller, $ 7.2 million paid to settle the seller’s outstanding debt, and $ 0.3 million paid for the seller’s transaction expenses. The deferred cash consideration of $ 3.7 million will be used to cover the amount by which the estimated purchase price exceeds the final purchase price, if any. The unused amount is payable to the seller on May 31, 2025. This obligation is shown within other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding amount for this obligation was $ 3.7 million.
Included in the deferred cash consideration is a liability incurred to the seller of $ 1.8 million. In the purchase agreement as a post-closing transaction, AquaProp's seller agreed to purchase and then sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from the seller, two additional equipment spreads within 90 days of the closing at a purchase price equal to cost plus a 50 % premium. The post-closing transaction was determined to be a transaction separate from the business combination, but the premium was determined to represent consideration transferred in the business combination as the above market terms of the arrangement would not have been agreed upon absent the business combination. Accordingly, the liability incurred to the seller was recognized as consideration in the business combination as cash was not paid at closing. The post-closing transaction for

the Company’s purchase of the additional equipment occurred in July 2024 and the purchases were accounted for as additions to property and equipment in our consolidated balance sheet and capital expenditures in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
Also in the purchase agreement as an additional post-closing transaction, the seller agreed to purchase and then deliver to the Company up to five more additional equipment spreads at the request of the Company within a 30-month period following the delivery of the first additional spread at a purchase price equal to the lower of $ 4.8 million or cost. The additional post-closing transaction was determined to be a transaction separate from the business combination, but the Company recorded an intangible asset amounting to $ 0.3 million for the estimated fair value of the potential favorable pricing on such spreads as part of the consideration transferred in the business combination. This intangible asset is included within favorable contracts in the table below. The additional post-closing transaction for the Company’s purchase of the additional equipment will be accounted for as additions to property and equipment in our consolidated balance sheet and capital expenditures in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
The acquisition of AquaProp also included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the seller based on the amount of wet sand delivered during a 30-month period following the delivery of the first additional spread, attributable to the five additional equipment spreads described above. Amounts are payable under the earnout arrangement if the Company reaches certain delivery thresholds (in tons) of wet sand using the specific equipment provided by the seller or by other parties. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be obligated to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between $ 0 and $ 12.5 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration for the business combination recognized at the acquisition date of $ 10.9 million was estimated by applying the probability-weighted expected return method for the different scenarios that may occur based on the amount of additional equipment delivered by the seller, at the request of the Company, and the amount of wet sand expected to be delivered by such equipment. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 measurements. The contingent consideration payable will be adjusted to estimated fair value at the end of each subsequent reporting period until the contingencies are resolved and consideration payments are made. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was $ 8.3 million at December 31, 2024, resulting in a $ 2.6 million decrease from May 31, 2024. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was primarily driven by updated projections regarding the probability of different scenarios and the amount and timing of additional equipment to be delivered by the seller under those scenarios. The decrease in the estimated contingent consideration payable is included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Accounts payable ( 1,423 )
Factored receivables ( 10,024 )
Total net assets acquired 34,860
Goodwill 920
Total consideration $ 35,780
The fair value of the assets acquired includes accounts receivable of $ 10.6 million. The gross amount due under contracts is $ 10.6 million, of which none is expected to be uncollectible. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivable as a result of the acquisition of AquaProp.
The assets acquired include three intangible assets, the trademark/trade name for AquaProp, customer relationships and favorable contracts. The trademark was assigned a fair value of $ 1.3 million with zero residual value and will be amortized on a straight‑line basis over fifteen years . The customer relationships were assigned a fair value of $ 18.6 million with zero residual value and will be amortized on a straight‑line basis over six years . The favorable contracts were assigned a fair value of $ 2.2 million with zero residual value out of which $ 0.3 million will be amortized over thirty months and $ 1.9 million will be amortized over five years . The fair value of the trademark was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which calculates the hypothetical royalty fees that would be saved by owning an intangible asset rather than licensing it from another owner. This method forecasts revenue over the estimated useful life of the asset and then applies the following: a royalty rate based on comparable royalty and/or licensing transactions, income tax rate and discount rate, to calculate the discounted cash flows to arrive at the value of the trademark. Key assumptions include revenue forecasted at historical trends with a 0 % long-term growth rate, 1.0 % royalty rate, 21.6 % income tax rate and a 40.5 % discount rate. The fair value of the customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. This method is a specific application of the discounted cash flow method, in which revenue derived from the intangible asset is estimated using total business revenue as a proxy and subsequently adjusted for attrition. Then deductions are made for business expenses and required returns attributable to other assets in the business. The excess earnings after these deductions are discounted to present value at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at the intangible asset value. Key assumptions include revenue forecasted at historical trends with a 0 % long-term growth rate, 20.0 % attrition rate, 21.6 % income tax rate and a 40.5 % discount rate. The fair value of the favorable contracts was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. Key assumptions include forecasted revenue based on a probability-weighting of the number of spreads that will be active with a 0 % long-term growth rate, 21.6 % income tax rate and a 35.0 % discount rate.
The goodwill is attributable to the acquired workforce and significant synergies. Goodwill is assigned 100 % to the hydraulic fracturing operating segment of the Company. The goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax purposes.
During the period from May 31, 2024, to December 31, 2024, the Company made measurement period adjustments to recognize favorable contracts intangible assets of $ 2.2 million and decrease goodwill by $ 2.2 million and to increase accounts payable acquired as part of the acquisition of AquaProp by $ 0.5 million to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. The adjustment to accounts payable decreased the deferred cash consideration payable to the seller.
The acquired business generated revenues of $ 44.1 million and a net loss of $ 2.3 million for the period from May 31, 2024, to December 31, 2024.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used, when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 — Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
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.

Short-term investment — On September 1, 2022, the Company received 2.6 million common shares of STEP Energy Services L td. (“STEP”) with an estimated fair value of $ 11.8 million as part of the consideration for the sale of our coiled tubing assets to STEP. The shares were treated as an investment in equity securities measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on observable prices on the Toronto Stock Exchange and are shown under current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the short-term investment was estimated at $ 7.8 million. The fluctuation in stock price resulted in an unrealized gain of $ 0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an unrealized loss of $ 2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and an unrealized loss of $ 1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 . Included in the unrealized gain for the year ended December 31, 2024, was a loss of $ 0.7 million resulting from noncash foreign currency translation. Included in the unrealized loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, was a gain of $ 0.1 million resulting from noncash foreign currency translation. Included in the unrealized loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, was a loss of $ 0.3 million resulting from noncash foreign currency translation. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from stock price fluctuation and noncash foreign currency translation are included in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. The Company is restricted from selling, transferring or assigning more than 0.9 million shares in any one calendar month .
Business acquisition contingent consideration payable — On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in AquaProp in exchange for $ 13.7 million of cash, $ 3.7 million of deferred cash consideration payable to AquaProp's seller by May 31, 2025, the payoff of $ 7.2 million of assumed debt, the payment of $ 0.3 million of certain transaction costs and estimated contingent consideration of $ 10.9 million. The contingent consideration payable was measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs based on the probability-weighted expected return method and is shown under other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the contingent consideration payable is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was $ 8.3 million resulting in a $ 2.6 million decrease from May 31, 2024. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was primarily driven by updated projections regarding the probability of different scenarios and the amount and timing of additional equipment to be delivered by the seller under those scenarios. Increases or decreases in any valuation inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement in the future.

(1) The implied fair value of our wireline reporting unit was determined using Level 3 inputs and was $ 0 at December 31, 2024 (the measurement date) after full impairment.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but may be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. These assets and liabilities include those acquired through the business combinations, which are required to be measured at fair value on the acquisition date according to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (see Note 4. Business Acquisitions).
The Company performed a fair value assessment of the $ 13.0 million promissory note obtained as consideration for the sale of its cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to Big 4 on November 1, 2024 (the date of the transaction), and concluded that the fair value of the note receivable approximated its carrying value and no discount or premium adjustment was needed. The Company utilized market interest rates for business loans which represented inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly (Level 2) to determine the implied fair value of the note receivable.
Whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the carrying values of long‑lived assets, such as property and equipment and other assets to determine if they are recoverable. If any long‑lived assets are determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment expense is recorded in the period. As part of the quarterly evaluation for the three months ended September 30, 2024, after evaluating the current market conditions and new information available, such as decreasing customer demand for and related pricing pressures on its Tier II Units, among other factors, the Company determined that the marketability of its Tier II Units had declined. As a result, the Company plans to strategically phase out its Tier II Units before the end of the original weighted average remaining useful life of this asset group. The Company performed an impairment analysis on its Tier II Units as of September 30, 2024, by comparing estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis to the carrying value of these assets. The Company determined that its

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
Tier II Units were impaired, as their carrying value was greater than their estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis. Accordingly, we recorded property and equipment impairment expense of approximately $ 188.6 million within our hydraulic fracturing operating segment during the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with our Tier II Units. As of September 30, 2024 (the impairment measurement date), the estimated fair value of our Tier II Units was $ 63.8 million which was determined using the market and cost approaches, which represent Level 3 inputs in the fair value measurement hierarchy. Our fair value estimates required us to use significant unobservable inputs, including assumptions related to replacement cost, among others. The fair value of approximately 95 % of our Tier II Units was estimated using the market approach and the remaining assets were valued using the cost approach. For assets valued using the market approach, we relied upon the direct match and comparable match methods of the market approach to value certain assets such as hydraulic fracturing pumps and their associated engines, transmissions, and power ends where significant market data was available and an active secondary market exists. Key assumptions include declining desirability for conventional diesel equipment due to emissions and fuel efficiency challenges based on research gathered from third party auctioneers. For assets valued using the cost approach, we estimated the current cost of reproducing a new replica of the asset being appraised using the same, or closely similar, materials for each asset or group of assets by using the indirect (trending) method of the cost approach. Allowances were made for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence as appropriate. Key assumptions include forecasted use of Tier II Units. The carrying value of our Tier II Units as of September 30, 2024, prior to the impairment expense was approximately $ 252.4 million. No impairment of property and equipment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023 . We recorded property and equipment impairment expense of approximately $ 57.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 , in connection with our DuraStim ® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing pumps that did not meet the manufacturer's specifications or our expectations.
We generally apply fair value techniques to our reporting units on a nonrecurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill, if any. Our estimate of the reporting unit fair value is based on a combination of income and market approaches, Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The income approach involves the use of a discounted cash flow method, with the cash flow projections discounted at an appropriate discount rate. The market approach involves the use of comparable public companies’ market multiples in estimating the fair value. We used both the guideline public company method and the guideline transaction method under the market approach. Significant assumptions include projected revenue growth, capital expenditures, gross margins, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and weight allocation between income and market approaches. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, we consider goodwill impaired, and the impairment loss is calculated and recorded in the period. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2024, and determined that the goodwill in our wireline operating segment and reporting unit with a carrying value of $ 23.6 million was fully impaired due to the Company updating its outlook for this reporting unit as a result of decreased revenue and profitability experienced during the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill impairment expense of $ 23.6 million in our wireline reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2024. We applied weightings of 75 %, 25 %, and 0 % to the fair values derived from the income approach, the guideline public company method and the guideline transaction method, respectively, to assess fair value. We used the Gordon Growth Model to determine the terminal value and applied a terminal growth rate of 3.0 %, a 23.0 % income tax rate and a 24.9 % discount rate for the wireline reporting unit . No impairment to the carrying value of goodwill for our hydraulic fracturing reporting unit was required . There were no goodwill impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 . See Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies for a summary of goodwill by operating segment.

PROPETRO HOLDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective June 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to its amended and restated revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $ 225.0 million (subject to the Borrowing Base (as defined below) limit), and extended the maturity date to June 2, 2028.
Effective June 26, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its amended and restated revolving credit facility (the revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in April 2022, as amended in June 2023, as amended in June 2024, and as may be amended further, "AB L Credit Facility"). The amendment increased the amount of noncash consideration that may be considered cash pursuant to certain permitted dispositions. The ABL Credit Facility has a borrowing base of the sum of 85 % to 90 % of monthly eligible accounts receivable and 80 % of eligible unbilled accounts (up to a maximum of 25 % of the borrowing base), in each case, depending on the credit ratings of our accounts receivable counterparties, less customary reserves (the "Borrowing Base"), as redetermined monthly. The Borrowing Base as of December 31, 2024, was approximately $ 164.1 million. The ABL Credit Facility includes a springing fixed charge coverage ratio to apply when excess availability is less than the greater of (i) 10 % of the lesser of the facility size or the Borrowing Base or (ii) $ 15.0 million. Under the ABL Credit Facility we are required to comply, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifiers, with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants pertaining to our ability to incur liens or indebtedness, changes in the nature of our business, mergers and other fundamental changes, disposal of assets, investments and restricted payments, amendments to our organizational documents or accounting policies, prepayments of certain debt, dividends, transactions with affiliates, and certain other activities. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility accrue interest based on a three-tier pricing grid tied to availability, and we may elect for loans to be based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the base rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75 % to 2.25 % for SOFR loans and 0.75 % to 1.25 % for base rate loans. The weighted average annual interest rate for our ABL Credit Facility for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 7.12 % .
The loan origination costs relating to the ABL Credit Facility are classified as an asset in our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023 , we had outstanding borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility of $ 45.0 million and $ 45.0 million, respectively. After borrowings outstanding and letters of credit of appro ximately $ 8.6 million under the ABL Credit Facility , we had approximately $ 110.5 million available for borrowing under our ABL Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024.

which has not begun any revenue-generating activities yet . T hese operating segments represent how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. Our CODM is a group comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer.
On November 1, 2024, the Company sold its cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to a business owned by a former employee as part of a strategic repositioning. We recorded a gain on disposal of $ 8.2 million related to the sale of the business within loss on disposal of assets and business within our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The sale of these assets did not qualify for presentation and disclosure as a discontinued operation, and accordingly, we have recorded the resulting gain from the sale as part of our loss on disposal of assets and business in our consolidated statement of operations. The former employee was part of the Company’s cementing operations until November 1, 2024 and is no longer affiliated with the Company.
On September 1, 2022, the Company shut down its coiled tubing operations and disposed of its coiled tubing assets to STEP as part of a strategic repositioning, and recorded a loss on disposal of $ 13.8 million. The divestiture of our coiled tubing assets did not qualify for presentation and disclosure as a discontinued operation, and accordingly, we have recorded the resulting loss from the disposal as part of our loss (gain) on disposal of assets in our consolidated statement of operations.
We have historically conducted our business through four operating segments: hydraulic fracturing, wireline, cementing and coiled tubing. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, our operating segments met the aggregation criteria and were aggregated into the “Completion Services” reportable segment and our coiled tubing operations (which were divested in September 2022) were shown in the “All Other” category. Effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, we revised our segment reporting as we determined that our operating segments no longer met the criteria to be aggregated. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we formed a new subsidiary to provide power generation services. This new subsidiary has not begun any revenue-generating activities yet. Our hydraulic fracturing, wireline and cementing operating segments meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Our divested coiled tubing and our newly formed power generation services segments do not meet the reportable segment criteria and are included within the “All Other” category. Additionally, our corporate administrative activities do not involve business activities from which it may earn revenues and its results are not regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM when making key operating and resource decisions. As a result, corporate administrative expenses have been included under “Reconciling Items.”
Our hydraulic fracturing operating segment revenue approximated 75.6 %, 78.5 % and 89.3 % of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Revenue from our wireline operating segment (resulting from the acquisition of Silvertip in 2022) approximated 14.1 %, 14.1 % and 2.4 % of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our cementing operating segment revenue approximated 10.3 %, 7.4 % and 7.2 % of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our newly formed power generation services operating segment has not begun any revenue-generating activities yet. Revenue from our coiled tubing operating segment which was divested in 2022 approximated 1.1 % of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our operating segments are subject to inherent uncertainties which may influence our prospective activities. Inter-segment revenues are not material and are not shown separately in the tables below.
The Company manages and assesses the performance of its reportable segments by their adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, other income or expense, gain or loss on disposal of assets and businesses and other unusual or nonrecurring expenses or income such as impairment charges, retention bonuses, severance, costs related to asset acquisitions, insurance recoveries, one-time professional fees and legal settlements). As part of the CODM’s review of segment-level performance, each member of the CODM group reviews the adjusted EBITDA of the Company’s reportable segments and provides expertise and analyses from their respective areas which drive the evaluation of the performance of the Company’s reportable segments and allocation of resources to those segments. Even though the CEO has the authority to override the other members for strategic or other reasons, key decisions are made jointly by the CODM group.
The following tables set forth certain financial information with respect to the Company’s reportable segments; intersegment revenues and cost of services are shown under “Reconciling Items” (in thousands):

12. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income relevant to the common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net (loss) income per common share uses the same net (loss) income divided by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus dilutive effects of options, performance stock units (“PSUs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury method and the potential dilutive effects of preferred stocks (if any) calculated using the if-converted method.

13. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On April 24, 2024, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") approved an increase and extension to the share repurchase program previously authorized on May 17, 2023. The program permits the repurchase of up to an additional $ 100 million of the Company's common stock for a total of $ 200 million and extends the expiration date by one year to May 31, 2025. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management's assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated through May 2025. The 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations applies to our share repurchase program.
All shares of common stock repurchased under the share repurchase program are canceled and retired upon repurchase. The Company accounts for the purchase price of repurchased shares of common stock in excess of par value ($ 0.001 per share of common stock) as a reduction of additional-paid-in capital, and will continue to do so until additional paid-in-capital is reduced to zero. Thereafter, any excess purchase price will be recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid an aggregate of $ 59.1 million, an average price per share of $ 8.21 including commissions, for share repurchases under the share repurchase program, thereby retiring 7.2 million shares. The Company has accrued $ 0.5 million in respect of the IRA 2022 repurchase excise tax as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, $ 89.2 million remained authorized for future repurchases of common stock under the share repurchase program.
14. STOCK‑BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Option Plan
In March 2013, we approved the Stock Option Plan of ProPetro Holding Corp. (the "Stock Option Plan") pursuant to which our Board may grant stock options to our consultants, directors, executives and employees.

The 2020 Incentive Plan authorized up to 4,650,000 shares of common stock to be issued under awards granted pursuant to the plan. The 2020 Incentive Plan became effective on October 22, 2020, and as of such date no further awards will be granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan. In May 2023, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated ProPetro Holding Corp. 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "A&R 2020 Incentive Plan"), which had been previously approved by the Board. The A&R 2020 Incentive Plan became effective on May 11, 2023, and replaced the 2020 Incentive Plan. The A&R 2020 Incentive Plan authorizes up to 8,050,000 shares of common stock to be issued under awards granted pursuant to the plan in lieu of the 4,650,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan.
The 2017 Incentive Plan and the A&R 2020 Incentive Plan are herein collectively referred to as the "Incentive Plans."
Stock Options
On March 16, 2017, we granted 793,738 stock option awards to certain key employees, officers and directors pursuant to the 2017 Incentive Plan which were scheduled to vest in four substantially equal annual installments, subject to a continuing service requirement. The contractual term for the options awarded is 10 years. The fair value of each stock option award granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no new stock option grants during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
As of December 31, 2024, there was no aggregate intrinsic value for our outstanding or exercisable stock options because the closing stock price as of December 31, 2024, was below the cost to exercise the options. No stock options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average remaining contractual term for the outstanding and exercisable stock options as of December 31, 2024, w as 2.0 years and 2.0 years, respec tively.

Restricted Stock Units
In 2024, we granted 1,806,956 RSUs to employees, officers and directors pursuant to the A&R 2020 Incentive Plan, which generally vest ratably over a three-year vesting period or a two-year period at one-third after first year anniversary and two-thirds after the second year anniversary, in the case of awards to employees and officers, and generally vest in full after one year , in the case of awards to directors. RSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee or director of the Company prior to vesting of the award. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing share price of our common stock on the date of grant. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation expense for RSUs of approximately $ 11.9 million, $ 7.8 million and $ 11.1 million, respectively.
On March 31, 2022, the Company modified the RSUs previously granted to a former officer in 2019, 2020, and 2021 to accelerate the vesting of such RSUs in connection with his separation agreement. On December 31, 2022, the Company modified the RSUs previously granted to a former officer in 2020, 2021, and 2022 to accelerate the vesting of such RSUs in connection with his separation agreement.

Performance Stock Units
In 2024, we granted 637,266 P SUs to certain key employees and officers as new awards under the A&R 2020 Incentive Plan. Each PSU earned represents the right to receive either one share of common stock or, as determined by the administrator in its sole discretion, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock or amount of cash on the day immediately preceding the settlement date. The actual number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the PSUs ranges from 0 % up to a maximum of 200 % of the target number of PSUs granted to the participant, based on our total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a designated peer group of comparable companies (“Peer Group”), generally at the end of a three-year period. In addition to the TSR conditions, vesting of the PSUs is generally subject to the recipient’s continued employment through the end of the applicable performance period. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the corresponding requisite service period. The grant date fair value of PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Grant recipients do not have any shareholder rights until performance relative to the Peer Group has been determined following the completion of the performance period and shares have been issued.
In connection with a former officer’s separation agreement, on March 31, 2022, the Company modified the PSUs previously granted to such former officer in 2020 and 2021 to provide for deemed satisfaction of the service requirement applicable to such PSUs as of March 31, 2022, such that such PSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on our TSR relative to the P eer Group over the applicable performance period. In connection with a former officer’s separation agreement, on December 31, 2022, the Company modified the PSUs previously granted to such former officer in 2021 and 2022 to provide for deemed satisfaction of the service requirement applicable to such PSUs as of December 31, 2022, such that such PSUs shall rem ain outstanding and eligible to vest based on our TSR relative to the Peer Group over the applicable performance period. As a result of these modifications, we recorded a net incremental stock expense of $ 2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation expense for the PSUs of approximatel y $ 5.4 million, $ 6.6 million and $ 10.8 million, respectively.

17. LEASES (Continued)
Operating Leases
Description of Leases
We have operating leases for five FORCE ® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing equipment fleets (the “Electric Fleet Leases”), facilities and office space. The terms and conditions of these leases vary by the type of the underlying asset. We did not account for land separately from buildings under our leases of facilities because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. Our operating leases do not include residual value guarantees, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, our operating leases do not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. We assumed two leases for facilities as part of our acquisition of Silvertip Completion Services Operating, LLC on November 1, 2022. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 0.8 years to 3.9 years as of December 31, 2024. Our operating leases have renewal options ranging from none to three renewal options of up to one year each at the end of their current contractual lease periods. Further, our Electric Fleet Leases have options to purchase the underlying equipment at the end of their initial term of approximately three years or at the end of each renewal period. However, in management's judgment the exercise of neither the renewal options nor the purchase options are reasonably assured for any lease. In addition to fixed rent payments, the Electric Fleet Leases contain variable payments based on equipment usage. The right-of-use assets and liabilities related to the Electric Fleet Leases are included in our Hydraulic Fracturing reportable segment, related to leases for facilities are included in our Hydraulic Fracturing and Wireline reportable segments, and related to office space are included in our Wireline reportable segment and our corporate administrative function.

Finance Leases
Description of Lease
We have a three-year equipment lease contract (the "Power Equipment Lease") for certain power generation equipmen t. In addition t o the contractual lease period, the contract includes an optional renewal for one year , and in management's judgment the exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Power Equipment Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change. The right-of-use assets and liabilities under this contract are included in our Hydraulic Fracturing reportable segment.
We accounted for the Power Equipment Lease as a finance lease. This conclusion resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term, the present value of lease payments being equal to or in excess of substantially all of the fair value of the underlying assets and the lease term being the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying assets.

Initial Direct Costs
We elected to analogize to the measurement guidance of ASC 360 to capitalize costs incurred to place a leased asset into its intended use and to present such capitalized costs as part of the related lease right-of-use asset cost as initial direct costs. The Company incurred initial direct costs of approximately $ 25.5 million , $ 25.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively , to place the leased equipment into its intended use, which are included in the right-of-use assets cost related to our Electric Fleet Leases.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
We entered into certain commitments for fixed assets, consumables and services incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business, generally for quantities required for our operations and at competitive market prices. These commitments are designed to assure sources of supply and are not expected to be in excess of normal requirements. We entered into a contractual arrangement with an equipment manufacturer to purchase mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line, with a total cost of $ 122.0 million, of which approximately $ 103.7 million, representing progress payments beyond the initial down payment on this equipment, will be financed. We currently expect to start receiving this equipment from the end of the second quarter of 2025 through early 2026. We entered into a contractual arrangement with another related equipment manufacturer to purchase additional natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for our PROPWR business line, with a total cost of $ 25.0 million. We currently expect to receive these generators in the first half of 2025. The power generation equipment from these contractual arrangements represent total capacity of 140 megawatts.

We entered into the Electric Fleet Leases, which contain options to extend the leases or purchase the equipment at the end of each lease or at the end of each subsequent renewal period. As of December 31, 2024, all five of the Electric Fleet Leases commenced when the Company took possession of all equipment associated with the first four FORCE ® electric-powered hydraulic fractu ring fleets and some of the equipment associated with the fifth fleet under these leases. Lease payments pertaining to the remaining equipment under the fifth Electric Fleet Lease is expected to commence when the Company takes possession of the remaining associated equipment . We currently expect to receive the remaining equipment associated with the fifth fleet in the first half of 2025. The total estimated contractual commitment in connection with the Electric Fleet Leases excluding the cost associated with the option to purchase the equipment at the end of each lease is approximately $ 121.8 million . We also entered into the Power Equipment Lease. The total estimated contractual commitment in connection with the Power Equipment Lease is approximately $ 34.4 million .
The Company enters into purchase agreements with its sand suppliers (the “Sand Suppliers”) to secure supply of sand as part of its normal course of business. The agreements with the Sand Suppliers require that the Company purchase a minimum volume of sand, based primarily on a certain percentage of our sand requirements from our customers or in certain situations based on predetermined fixed minimum volumes, otherwise certain penalties (shortfall fees) may be charged. The shortfall fee represents liquidated damages and is either a fixed percentage of the purchase price for the mi nimum volumes or a fixed price per ton of unpurchased volumes. Our agreements with the Sand Suppliers expire a t December 31, 2025. Our sand agreement with one of our Sand Suppliers that will expire on December 31, 2025, has a take-or-pay commitment o f $ 1.5 million. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, no shortfall fee was recorded.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had issued le tters of credit of $ 8.6 million and $ 6.0 million, respectively, under the ABL Credit Facility in connection with the Company's casualty insurance policy.
Contingent Liabilities
Legal Matters
We have been named in various claims, lawsuits or threatened actions in the ordinary course of our business. We intend to defend these matters vigorously; however, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the ultimate outcome or effect of any claim, lawsuit or action cannot be predicted with certainty. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any litigation matter. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could cause us to incur significant costs and expenses and require significant amounts of management and operational time and resources. With respect to each matter or exposure, we have made an assessment, in accordance with GAAP, of the probability that the resolution of the matter would ultimately result in a loss. When we determine that an unfavorable resolution of a matter is probable and such amount of loss can be estimated, we record a liability at the time that both of these criteria are met. Our management believes that we have recorded adequate accruals for any liabilities that may reasonably be expected to result from these matters. In the opinion of our management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against us are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental and Equipment Insurance
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. The Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of the Company's business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
The Company is self-insured up to $ 10 million per occurrence for certain losses arising from or attributable to fire and/or explosion at the wellsites that do not have qualified fire suppression measures. No accrual was recorded in our financial statements in connection with this self-insurance strategy because the occurrence of fire and/or explosion cannot be reasonably estimated.

Regulatory Audits
In 2020, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (the “Comptroller”) commenced a routine audit of the Company's motor vehicle and other related fuel taxes for the periods of July 2015 through December 2020. As of December 31, 2024, the audit was substantially complete and the Company accrued for an estimated settlement expense of $ 6.0 million .
In May 2022, the Company received a notification from the Comptroller that it will commence a routine audit of the Company’s gross receipt taxes, which will routinely cover up to a four-year period. As of December 31, 2024, the audit was nearing completion and the Company accrued for an estimated settlement expense of $ 0.8 million .
19. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
A VIE is an entity with any of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have enough equity to finance its activities without additional financial support, (ii) the equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. Consolidation of a VIE is required for the party deemed to be the primary beneficiary, if any. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
On November 1, 2024, we sold our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to a Big 4, which is solely owned by a former employee as part of a strategic repositioning. We received a promissory note for $ 13.0 million as consideration. The note receivable is secured by substantially all assets of Big 4 and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from the entity. The note receivable is to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10 % per annum from March 31, 2025 to December 31, 2029. We evaluated our note receivable from Big 4 for VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation . The Company holds a variable interest in Big 4 and Big 4 is a VIE due to its lack of sufficient equity to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The note receivable from Big 4 is considered subordinated financial support and represents a variable interest to the Company in Big 4. Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s variable interest in Big 4 included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are limited to the unpaid balance of the note receivable and any accrued interest. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Big 4 is also limited to the unpaid balance of the note receivable and any accrued interest. The consolidation of Big 4 is not required as the Company is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Big 4’s economic performance. We consider such activities to include performing customer contract obligations, maintaining and establishing customer relationships, and managing costs, among other operational activities. We do not have any control over such activities. Such power is held by Big 4’s sole owner. We account for the note receivable (our variable interest) at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the note receivable including interest was $ 13.2 million. Of the carrying value at December 31, 2024 the amount collectible within one year was $ 2.1 million and the amount collectible beyond one year was $ 11.1 million , which are included in our consolidated balance sheet under other current assets and other non current assets, respectively.
