Forward guidance

ProPetro anticipates the balance of the year to be challenging due to managing input costs, supply chain pressures, human capital, and operational risks as the pressure pumping market tightens. They are focusing on optimizing cash returns and strategically converting conventional diesel assets to natural gas-powered equipment.

Tailwinds

  • Team is encouraged by the step change in performance during the first quarter.
  • Continue to concentrate efforts on optimizing the full-cycle cash-on-cash return profiles of our currently operating fleets.
  • Will continue to strategically convert many of our conventional diesel assets into more marketable natural gas-powered equipment
  • Assets will be placed with E&P’s that have core acreage positions and sizeable drilling inventories.
  • Most focused on operating our business and collaborating with customers in a manner that allows us to significantly expand our earnings power and create value for all stakeholders

Headwinds

  • Operational and logistical headwinds experienced validate our belief that operating margins in pressure pumping do not reflect levels needed to justify the additional risk ProPetro assumes in marketing and deploying any additional horsepower.
  • This is especially true in a market that is currently near sold-out levels and where operating margins should continue to expand.
  • Do not expect to market additional capacity in the second quarter.
  • Balance of the year to be challenging as managing input costs.
  • Supply chain pressures, human capital, and operational risks will only become more difficult as the pressure pumping market tightens further.
