(1) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin are non-GAAP financials measures. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a discussion of these measures and a reconciliation of these measures to our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Bud Brigham, Founder, Executive Chairman and CEO, commented, “This was an exceptional year for Atlas. We completed our IPO, generated Adjusted EBITDA of $329.7 million, grew our dividend to $0.21 per share, placed our new Kermit plant in-service, fully launched our differentiated high-capacity trucking business, kicked-off and have made great progress on the construction of the Dune Express, and shortly after the end of this year signed-up a substantial and exciting acquisition of Hi-Crush. In so many exciting ways, this is a more advanced proppant and logistics business in February 2024 than February 2023, and we are well on our way to achieving our goal of being logistically advantaged to every wellhead in the Permian Basin."

John Turner, President & CFO, added, “In our view, the acquisition of Hi-Crush announced today furthers Atlas's position as the premier proppant and logistics provider in the Permian, and as one of the premier producers in all of North America. The strategic benefits are clearly evident as the distributed mining assets add customers in the Midland Basin, further diversifying our customer portfolio. The Kermit assets provide additional reserves and production on the giant open dunes, and the proximity of those assets to our existing operations provide ample opportunity for operational synergies. Additionally, the acquired contracts add significant free cash flow at an attractive valuation, which we expect to accelerate the return of capital to our shareholders. Last but importantly, the distributed mining assets complement and further our logistics mission to remove trucks from the public roadways of the Permian, which drives down costs and emissions while driving up reliability, importantly while also making the roadways safer for the local communities."

Year End 2023 Financial Results

Total sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $131.2 million, or 27.2% when compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, to $614.0 million. Product sales increased $59.7 million, or 14.6% when compared to the prior year, to $468.1 million, driven by an increase in both sales volumes and sales price (11.0 million tons at $42.63 per ton vs. 10.2 million tons at $40.10 per ton). Given our heavily contracted volume position during the year, this sequential price increase is a function of higher-priced contracts realized during the year. Service sales increased by $71.6 million, or 96.3% when compared to the prior year, to $145.8 million. The increase in service sales was due to an increase in the number of active jobs, as well as by a higher asset utilization on continued customer adoptions of our single- and multi-trailer logistics offerings.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and accretion expense) (“cost of sales”) for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $61.5 million, or 30.9% when compared to the prior year, to $260.4 million. The increase in our cost of sales was primarily driven by an increase in sales volumes and higher trucking and last mile logistics costs resulting from the increased size and utilization of our fleet, which were partially offset by lower contract mining costs and a lower royalty expense as a result of the removal of the Kermit overriding royalty, which ceased towards the end of the first quarter of 2023 in connection with our initial public offering.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $24.3 million, or 100.0% when compared to the prior year, to $48.6 million, driven primarily by increases in wages and benefits as a result of an increased employee base, and higher professional and consulting fees associated with our initial public offering, corporate reorganization and acquisition of Hi-Crush. This includes $5.3 million of non-recurring transaction costs and $7.4 million in stock and unit based compensation.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $226.5 million, and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $329.7 million.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Fourth quarter 2023 total sales decreased $16.5 million, or 10.5% sequentially, to $141.1 million. Product sales decreased $14.8 million, or 12.9%, sequentially, to $100.0 million (2.6 million tons at $39.00 per ton vs. 2.8 million tons at $40.62 per ton), driven by a decrease in both sales volumes and price, driven primarily by a slow down in drilling and completions activity. Service sales decreased by $1.7 million, or 4.0%, sequentially, to $41.1 million.

Fourth quarter 2023 cost of sales decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.8%, sequentially, to $66.6 million, which consists of product costs of sales of $30.3 million and services cost of sales of $36.3 million. SG&A for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $0.7 million, or 4.6%, sequentially, to $13.6 million. Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $36.1 million, representing a decrease of $20.3 million, or 36.0%, sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $68.7 million, representing a decrease of $15.4 million, or 18.3%, sequentially.

Liquidity, Capital Expenditures and Other

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s total liquidity was $384.1 million, which was comprised of $210.2 million in cash and cash equivalents (held in cash, CDs, and one- and two-month Treasury bills), $73.9 million of availability under the Company’s ABL Facility, and $100.0 million of availability under the Company's undrawn Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility; the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $1.1 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit.

Net cash used in investing activities was $365.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, driven largely by costs associated with the construction of the new Kermit facility and construction of the Dune Express.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's fully diluted share count outstanding was 100,025,584.

Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Hi-Crush

Subsequent to year end, Atlas announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Hi-Crush Inc. (“Hi-Crush”), pursuant to which Atlas will acquire substantially all of Hi-Crush’s Permian Basin proppant production assets and North American logistics operations in a transaction valued at $450 million. The mix of consideration includes approximately $150 million in cash at close, 9,711,432 million shares of AESI (valued at $175 million), and $125 million in deferred cash in the form of a Seller’s Note. Both the cash consideration and the principal amount of the Seller's Note are subject to revision for customary post-closing adjustments. For more information regarding the transaction, please refer to the Company’s website at https://ir.atlas.energy/ for the acquisition press release and related presentation.

Acquisition Financing

In connection with the acquisition, we upsized our ABL facility to $125.0 million, with the expectation of drawing $50.0 million at closing. In addition, we installed a new $150.0 million acquisition term loan facility with Stonebriar Commercial Finance. These additional credit facilities will combine to fund the upfront cash consideration agreed to under the Merger Agreement and the near-term growth capital expenditures for OnCore.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

On February 8, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board") of Atlas declared a dividend to common stockholders of $0.21 per share, or approximately $21.0 million in aggregate to shareholders. The dividend includes a $0.16 per share base dividend and a $0.05 per share variable dividend. As previously announced, the dividend will be payable on February 29, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion and Maintenance Capital Expenditures are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, to assess our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of development activities, provide views on capital resources available to organically fund growth projects and, in the case of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends or reinvest to organically fund growth projects over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis.

These measures do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion and Maintenance Capital Expenditures may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Non-GAAP Measure Definitions:

  • We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation, depletion and accretion, interest expense, income tax expense, stock and unit-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized commodity derivative gain (loss), and non-recurring transaction costs. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing method or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
  • We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total sales.
  • We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as it provides a measure of the ability of our business to generate cash.
  • We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by total sales.
  • We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
  • We define Maintenance Capital Expenditures as capital expenditures excluding growth capital expenditures.
