John Turner, President & CEO, commented, "Our first quarter results were impacted by higher plant operating costs. Following severe winter weather in January that disrupted West Texas oilfield activity, Atlas incurred expenses related to maintenance activities at its flagship Kermit facility beyond its original expectations. We saw a reduction in those higher costs as the quarter progressed and expect improved plant operating costs in the second quarter. With the underlying commodity macro environment having improved rapidly over the course of the first quarter, Atlas remains effectively sold out for the second quarter and expects volumes to remain elevated for the remainder of 2026.

"The recently executed incremental 1.4 GW Global Framework Agreement with Caterpillar Inc. elevated Atlas's commercial opportunities almost immediately. With power generating equipment already in short supply, having access to a portfolio of large load, power dense natural gas reciprocating generator sets that are in high demand, has put Atlas in the driver seat for opportunities with customers that were previously unattainable due to lack of visibility on equipment. Atlas has elevated its opportunity set from medium sized Industrial opportunities to now squarely in the crosshairs for data center deployments.

"On April 1, Atlas announced our first behind-the-meter 5-year power purchase agreement for 120 MW, with a subsidiary of an investment-grade technology infrastructure provider. In sum, Atlas is now positioned to meaningfully grow the power business from total expected deployments of 550 MW next year to approximately 2 GW by the end of the decade, which would completely transform the cash flows of the company and create meaningful value to our stakeholders."

Bud Brigham, Executive Chairman, said, "I have never been more excited about the opportunity we are currently facing than what is occurring in the power markets across the United States. Our first contract along with the exciting Global Framework Agreement that we signed recently with CAT is a clear sign that we plan to position Atlas to be a leading provider of private power. We now have surety of supply and scale to become a critical player in the fast-evolving private grid space. We are just now making our presence known to both investors and to customers who are facing grid constraints across Texas and the United States."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Adjusted Cash SG&A 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 consolidated 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, Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Adjusted Cash SG&A 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, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, interest expense, income tax expense, stock and unit-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on disposal of assets, insurance recovery (gain), unrealized commodity derivative gain (loss), other acquisition related costs, and other non-recurring costs. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate the Company's consolidated 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. Certain prior period non-recurring costs of goods sold are now included as an add-back to adjusted EBITDA in order to conform to the current period presentation and to more accurately describe the Company's consolidated operating performance and results period over period.
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
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 revenue.
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, reconstruction of previously incurred growth capital expenditures, equipment assets acquired through debt, and asset retirement obligations. Certain prior period equipment assets acquired through debt and asset retirement obligations have been removed from capital expenditures in order to conform to the current period presentation and to more accurately describe the Company's consolidated operating performance and results period-over-period.
We define Adjusted Cash SG&A as selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") less stock-based compensation, depreciation in SG&A, non-recurring transaction expenses, and certain litigation expenses, net of insurance reimbursements.
