Atlas Energy Solutions Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2025 Results

Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE:AESI) ("Atlas" or the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Year End 2025 Financial Highlights and Operational Updates

• Revenue of $1.1 billion, net loss of ($50.3) million and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $221.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025
• Total volumes of 21.6 million tons for the year ended December 31, 2025
• Total Dune Express shipments of 5.9 million tons for year ended December 31, 2025
• Fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $249.4 million, net loss of ($22.2) million and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $36.7 million
• Fourth quarter 2025 volumes of 5.3 million tons
• Actively evaluating a robust power opportunity set representing more than 2 GW of potential opportunities
• Targeting approximately 500 MWs of power generation capacity deployed in 2027

John Turner, President & CEO, commented, "Our fourth quarter results exceeded our initial expectations primarily driven by stronger volumes relative to what we anticipated going into the holiday season. The seasonality we typically see at the end of the year was particularly muted as customers took minimal time off around the holidays. Despite challenging market conditions, we believe the team's commercial efforts should allow Atlas to grow volumes in 2026. Leaning on our cost-advantaged mines and logistics network, we were able to increase our share of current customers' sand procurement spend while also adding some key new customers relationships that we expect to grow in scale over the course of 2026 and beyond.

The quarter was highlighted by the highest levels of utilization for the Dune Express we have seen to date as customers in the Delaware Basin are beginning to realize the efficiency and reliability improvements the system generates in their logistics supply chains. We expect this to foreshadow the system's utilization during 2026.

In November, we announced the order of 240 MWs of power generation equipment, accelerating our evolution into a leading provider of behind-the-meter long-term power solutions across a broad range of domestic industries – from energy to data centers and manufacturing. Our pipeline of opportunities continues to expand, and we are targeting more than 500 MWs deployed across our fleet in 2027 with substantial additional growth potential as we secure larger-scale projects and build on initial orders."

Bud Brigham, Executive Chairman, said, "The growth case for Atlas is as exciting as it has ever been in my opinion. While waiting for Permian activity to recover, Atlas has an opportunity to redefine our cash flow and future with long-term behind-the-meter power contracts. I could not be more excited about the future of Atlas."

Future Guidance

The Company is providing financial guidance for the first quarter of 2026. Guidance is based on current outlook and plans and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks and constitutes a "forward-looking statement" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as further described under the Cautionary Statement below. Actual results may differ materially from the guidance set forth below.

For the first quarter of 2026, EBITDA is expected to be flat with fourth quarter results due to lower realized sand pricing and the impact of severe winter weather in January, which negatively impacted EBITDA generation by approximately $6 million, offsetting improved volumes in sand and logistics and increased contribution from the Power business.

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 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 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 expense, 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.
