CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. When considering forward‑looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (our “2024 Annual Report”), “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” is in this Quarterly Report and other cautionary statements contained herein and in our Exchange Act filings. Forward‑looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in our 2024 Annual Report or other Exchange Act filings occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

CACTUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data, or as otherwise indicated)

1.Preparation of Interim Financial Statements and Other Items

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements presented in this report represent the consolidation of Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), including Cactus Companies, LLC (“Cactus Companies”). Cactus Inc. is a holding company whose only material asset is an equity interest consisting of units representing limited liability company interests in Cactus Companies (“CC Units”). Cactus Inc. is the sole managing member of Cactus Companies and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cactus Companies and conducts its business through Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries. As a result, Cactus Inc. consolidates the financial results of Cactus Companies and its subsidiaries and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of CC Units not owned by Cactus Inc., which reduces net income attributable to holders of Cactus Inc.’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”). Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references to “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

On February 28, 2023, Cactus Inc. through one of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the FlexSteel business through a merger (the “Merger”) with HighRidge Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“HighRidge”). On February 27, 2023, in order to facilitate the Merger with HighRidge, an internal reorganization was completed in which Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing ownership interests in Cactus Wellhead, LLC (“Cactus LLC”), the operating subsidiary of Cactus Inc. (the “CC Reorganization”). The purpose of the Merger was to effect the acquisition of the operations of FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. FlexSteel Holdings, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of HighRidge prior to the Merger and was converted into a limited liability company, contributed from HighRidge to Cactus Companies as part of the CC Reorganization and is now named FlexSteel Holdings, LLC (“FlexSteel”). The results of operations of FlexSteel have been reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the acquisition.

The Company currently operates in two business segments: Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

In November 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to invest in a Vietnam forging manufacturing facility for an ownership percentage of 40%. In January 2025, the Company provided an initial capital contribution of $6.0 million. The investment in a company in which Cactus does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has significant influence, is accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from available data, or is not otherwise capable of being readily calculated based on accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” The amendments in this ASU require entities to disclose on an annual basis specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional disclosures for reconciling items that meet a specified quantitative threshold. Entities will also be required to disclose annually income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid by individual jurisdictions that meet a five percent or greater threshold of total income taxes paid net of refunds received. The ASU also adds certain disclosures in order to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and removes certain disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard would require public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

2.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business. Our customers are predominantly oil and gas exploration and production companies located in the U.S. Our receivables are short-term in nature and typically due in 30 to 60 days. We do not accrue interest on delinquent receivables. Accounts receivable includes both amounts billed and currently due from customers, as well as unbilled amounts resulting from accrued revenue associated with products delivered and services performed for which billings have not yet been submitted to the customers. Total unbilled revenue included in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $41.0 million and $29.8 million, respectively.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for the amount of billed receivables we believe to be at risk of loss. In our determination of the allowance for credit losses, we pool receivables with similar risk characteristics based on customer size, credit ratings, payment history, bankruptcy status and other factors known to us, and then apply an expected credit loss percentage. The expected credit loss percentage is determined using historical loss data adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for credit losses. The following is a roll-forward of our allowance for credit losses.


	Balance at Beginning of Period		Expense		Write off		Other		Balance at End of Period
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025	$	3,779	$	133	$	(114)	$	(11)	$	3,787
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024	3,642		162		(1)		—		3,803

3.Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates average cost. Costs include an application of related material, direct labor, duties, tariffs, freight and overhead costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Reserves are made for excess and obsolete items based on a range of factors, including age, usage and technological or market changes that may impact demand for those products. Inventories consist of the following:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Raw materials	$	31,581	$	31,031
Work-in-progress	14,532		10,979

6.Debt

We had no bank debt outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We had $2.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined below) as of March 31, 2025.

In August 2018, Cactus LLC entered into a five-year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for such lenders and as an issuing bank and swingline lender (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility was amended in September 2020 and July 2022. On February 28, 2023, in connection with the Merger, Cactus Companies assumed the rights and obligations of Cactus LLC as Borrower under the ABL Credit Facility, and the ABL Credit Facility was amended and restated in its entirety (the “Amended ABL Credit Facility”). The Amended ABL Credit Facility provided a term loan of $125.0 million and up to $225.0 million in revolving commitments, of which $20.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Amended ABL Credit Facility, Cactus Companies may request additional revolving commitments in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, for a total of up to $275.0 million in revolving commitments. The term loan under the Amended ABL Credit Facility was set to mature on February 27, 2026 and any revolving loans under the Amended ABL Credit Facility mature on July 26, 2027. The maximum amount that Cactus Companies may borrow under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.

Borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility bear interest at Cactus Companies’ option at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined therein) (“ABR”), or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined therein) (“Term Benchmark”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Letters of credit issued under the Amended ABL Credit Facility accrue fees at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Term Benchmark borrowings. The applicable margin is 2.50% per annum for term loan ABR borrowings and 3.50% per annum for term loan Term Benchmark borrowings. The applicable margin for revolving loan borrowings ranges from 0.0% to 0.5% per annum for revolving loan ABR borrowings and 1.25% to 1.75% per annum for revolving loan Term Benchmark borrowings and, in each case, is based on the average quarterly availability of the revolving loan commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The unused portion of revolving commitment under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum.

The Amended ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit Cactus Companies’ and each of its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and create liens, make investments or loans, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell assets, make certain restricted payments and distributions, and engage in transactions with affiliates. The obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Cactus Companies and secured by a security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and certain other real and personal property assets of Cactus Companies and the guarantors. The Amended ABL Credit Facility requires Cactus Companies to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 based on the ratio of EBITDA (as defined therein) minus Unfinanced Capital Expenditures (as defined therein) to Fixed Charges (as defined therein) during certain periods, including when availability under the Amended ABL Credit Facility is under certain levels. If Cactus Companies fails to perform its obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Facility, (i) the revolving commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Facility could be terminated, (ii) any outstanding borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable, and (iii) the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

The Amended ABL Credit Facility was amended in December 2023 to incorporate certain changes related to revised and new definitions associated with the satisfaction of payment conditions for restricted payments, investments, permitted acquisitions, periodic reporting and asset dispositions. The amendment did not change the ABR, applicable margin rates, commitment fees, the maturity date, borrowing availability or covenants under the Amended ABL Credit Facility other than timing of certain reporting requirements.

7.Revenue

The majority of our revenues are derived from short-term contracts for fixed consideration, or in the case of rentals, for a fixed charge per day while the equipment is in use by the customer, plus repair costs. Product sales generally do not include right of return or other significant post-delivery obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or providing services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer which reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation to

provide agreed upon products or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We do not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We typically do not incur any material costs of obtaining contracts.

We do not adjust the amount of consideration per the contract for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less, which is in substantially all cases. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of invoicing. Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We treat shipping and handling associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost instead of as a separate performance obligation. We recognize the cost for the associated shipping and handling when incurred as an expense in cost of sales.

We disaggregate revenue into three categories: product revenues, rental revenues and field service and other revenues. We have predominately domestic operations, with a small amount of sales in Australia, Canada, the Middle East and other international markets. The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by category:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2025	2024
Product revenue			$	208,961	74	%	$	207,511	76	%
Rental revenue			27,122		10	%	23,943		8	%
Field service and other revenue			44,236		16	%	42,669		16	%
Total revenues			$	280,319	100	%	$	274,123	100	%

At March 31, 2025, we had a deferred revenue balance of $7.9 million compared to the December 31, 2024 balance of $8.1 million. Deferred revenue represents our obligation to transfer products to or perform services for a customer for which we have received cash or billed our customers in advance of delivering products or services. The revenue that has been deferred will be recognized upon product delivery, or as services are performed. As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any contracts with an original length of greater than a year from which revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied.

8.Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”)

In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2018, we entered into the TRA which generally provides for payment by Cactus Inc. to certain direct and indirect owners of Cactus LLC (after the CC Reorganization, Cactus Companies) of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Cactus Inc. actually realizes, or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances. Cactus Inc. retains the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings.

The TRA liability is calculated by determining the tax basis subject to the TRA (“tax basis”) and applying a blended tax rate to the basis differences and calculating the resulting iterative impact. The blended tax rate consists of the U.S. federal income tax rate and an assumed combined state and local income tax rate driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state. Subsequent changes to the measurement of the TRA liability are recognized in the statements of income as a component of other expense, net. As of March 31, 2025, the total liability from the TRA was $278.7 million with $20.3 million reflected in current liabilities based on the expected timing of our next payments. The payments under the TRA will not be conditional on a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either Cactus Companies or Cactus Inc.

The term of the TRA commenced upon completion of our IPO and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA. If we elect to terminate the TRA early (or it is terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control), our obligations under the TRA would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the TRA, and such payment is expected to be substantial. The calculation of anticipated future payments is based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumptions that (i) we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits covered by the TRA and (ii) any CC Units (other than those held by Cactus Inc.) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates.

We may elect to defer payments due under the TRA if we do not have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the TRA. Any such deferred payments under the TRA generally will accrue interest from the due date for such payment until the payment date.

In March of 2024, the TRA was amended to replace all references to one year LIBOR with references to the 12-month term SOFR published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited, plus 71.513 basis points. Additionally, all references to Cactus LLC were replaced with references to Cactus Companies in relation to the CC Reorganization.

9.Equity

As of March 31, 2025, Cactus Inc. owned 85.7% of Cactus Companies as compared to 85.6% of Cactus Companies as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, Cactus Inc. had outstanding 68.4 million shares of Class A common stock (representing 85.7% of the total voting power) and 11.4 million shares of Class B common stock (representing 14.3% of the total voting power).

Redemptions of CC Units

As part of the CC Reorganization in connection with the acquisition of FlexSteel, Cactus Companies acquired all of the outstanding units representing limited liability company interests of Cactus LLC (“CW Units”) in exchange for an equal number of CC Units issued to each of the previous owners of CW Units other than Cactus Inc. In connection with the CC Reorganization, Cactus Inc. and the owners of CC Units entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus Companies (the “Cactus Companies LLC Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, holders of CC Units are entitled to redeem their CC Units, which results in additional Class A common stock outstanding. Since our IPO in February 2018, an aggregate of 49.1 million CC Units (including CW Units prior to the CC Reorganization) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock have been redeemed in exchange for shares of Class A common stock.

There were no redemptions of CC Units during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Dividends

Aggregate cash dividends of $0.13 and $0.12 per share of Class A common stock were declared during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 totaling $9.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Cash dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $9.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Dividends accrue on unvested equity-based awards on the date of record and are paid upon vesting. Dividends are not paid to our Class B common stockholders; however, a corresponding distribution up to the same amount per share as our Class A common stockholders is paid to the owners of CC Units other than Cactus Inc. for any dividends declared on our Class A common stock. See further discussion of the distributions below under “Member Distributions.”

Share Repurchase Program

On June 6, 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase shares of Class A common stock under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2025, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.

Member Distributions

Distributions made by Cactus Companies are generally required to be made pro rata among all its members. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Cactus Companies distributed $30.4 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $5.1 million over the same period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Cactus Companies distributed $7.8 million to Cactus Inc. to fund its dividend and estimated tax payments and made pro rata distributions to the other members totaling $1.7 million.

Limitation of Members’ Liability

Under the terms of the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement, the members of Cactus Companies are not obligated for debt, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of Cactus Companies. Profits and losses are allocated to members as defined in the Cactus Companies LLC Agreement.

10.Commitments and Contingencies

Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment related disputes. A range of total possible losses for all litigation matters cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on our consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending lawsuits or claims against us, other than as discussed below, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. With respect to the litigation described below, if there was an adverse outcome, there could be a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations expected for the year. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view may change in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any dispute or claim.

On August 20, 2021, Cactus filed a complaint against Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No.: 4:21-cv-02720-ASH, seeking a declaratory judgment that Cactus frac operations do not infringe certain Cameron patents and that such patents are invalid. In response to that action, Cameron has asserted infringement of certain of those patents by Cactus’ SafeLink® frac flow system and is seeking past royalties and other damages related to the alleged infringement. The parties have been unable to reach an amicable settlement, and the matter is currently set for a jury trial on June 9, 2025. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims.

11.Fair Value Measurements

Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs), observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (Level 2 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these accounts.

12.Segment Reporting

We operate in two business segments that offer different products and services and correspond to the manner in which the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker or "CODM") reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment.

Our reporting segments are:

•Pressure Control – engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation, service and associated rental of wellhead and pressure control equipment utilized during the drilling, completion and production phases of oil and gas wells.

•Spoolable Technologies – engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation, service and associated rental of onshore spoolable pipe technologies utilized for production, gathering and takeaway transportation of oil, gas or other liquids.

Financial information by business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is summarized below.

13.Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during the period by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to Cactus Inc. during that period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares were issued.

We use the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding CC Units and corresponding shares of outstanding Class B common stock. We use the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock-based compensation awards assuming that the proceeds will be used to purchase shares of Class A common stock. For our unvested performance stock units, we first apply the criteria for contingently issuable shares before determining the potential dilutive effect using the treasury stock method.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2025		2024
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Cactus Inc.—basic		$	44,223	$	38,965
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest (1)		—		8,241
Net income attributable to Cactus Inc.—diluted (1)		$	44,223	$	47,206
Denominator:
Weighted average Class A shares outstanding—basic		68,194		65,378
Effect of dilutive shares (2)		470		14,178
Weighted average Class A shares outstanding—diluted (2)		68,664		79,556

Earnings per Class A share—basic		$	0.65	$	0.60
Earnings per Class A share—diluted (1)(2)		$	0.64	$	0.59

(1)The numerator is adjusted in the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method to include net income attributable to the non-controlling interest calculated as its pre-tax income adjusted for a corporate effective tax rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(2)Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 excludes 11.4 million weighted average shares of Class B common stock as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references in this Quarterly Report to the “Company,” “Cactus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cactus, Inc. (“Cactus Inc.”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated as discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict, including those described above in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and in the risk factors included in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report and "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by law.

Executive Summary

Cactus is an equipment solutions provider primarily for onshore oil and gas markets. Founded in 2011 by a management group that previously operated two of the largest wellhead providers at the time, Cactus has rapidly grown to be a leading provider of wellhead solutions to the U.S. onshore market. On February 28, 2023, Cactus acquired FlexSteel, which similarly grew from its founding in 2003 to its current status as a leading provider of spoolable pipe technologies, primarily to the U.S. onshore market. We believe this acquisition enhances our position as a premier manufacturer and provider of highly engineered equipment to the exploration and production ("E&P") industry and should provide meaningful growth. We further believe FlexSteel’s products are highly complementary to Cactus’ equipment as it expands our exposure to our customers’ operations from production trees to transportation of oil, gas and other liquids, as well as to additional customers operating in the midstream area.

Demand for our products and services depends primarily upon oil and gas industry activity levels, including the number of active drilling rigs, the number of wells being drilled, the number of wells being completed, and the volume of newly producing wells, among other factors.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from three sources: products, rentals, and field service and other. Product revenues are derived from the sale of wellhead systems, production trees and spoolable pipe and fittings. Rental revenues are derived from the rental of equipment used during the completion process, the repair of such equipment, and the rental of equipment or tools used to install wellhead equipment or spoolable pipe. Field service and other revenues are earned when we provide installation and other field services for both product sales and equipment rental.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we derived 74% of total revenues from the sale of our products, 10% of total revenues from rental and 16% of total revenues from field service and other. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we derived 76% of total revenues from the sale of our products, 8% of total revenues from rental and 16% of total revenues from field service and other. We have predominantly domestic operations, with more limited operations in Australia, Canada, and the Middle East, as well as sales in other international markets.

We operate in two business segments consisting of the Pressure Control segment and the Spoolable Technologies segment.

Pressure Control

The Pressure Control segment designs, manufactures, sells and rents a range of wellhead and pressure control equipment under the Cactus Wellhead brand. Products are sold and rented principally for onshore unconventional oil and gas wells and are utilized during the drilling, completion and production phases of our customers’ wells. In addition, we provide field services for all of our products and rental items to assist with the installation, maintenance and handling of the equipment.

We operate through service centers in the United States, which are strategically located in the key oil and gas producing regions, and in Australia. These service centers support our field services and provide equipment assembly and repair services. We also provide rental and service operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pressure Control manufacturing and production facilities are located in Bossier City, Louisiana, Suzhou, China, and Vietnam.

Demand for our product sales in the Pressure Control segment is driven primarily by the number of new wells drilled, as each new well requires a wellhead and, after the completion phase, a production tree. Demand for our rental items is driven primarily by the number of well completions as we rent frac trees to oil and gas operators to assist in hydraulic fracturing. Rental demand is also driven to a lesser extent by drilling activity as we rent tools used in the installation of wellheads. Field service and other revenues are closely correlated with revenues from product sales and rentals, as items sold or rented almost always have an associated service component.

Spoolable Technologies

The Spoolable Technologies segment designs, manufactures, and sells spoolable pipe and associated end fittings under the FlexSteel brand. Our customers use these products primarily as production, gathering, and takeaway pipelines to transport oil, gas or other liquids. In addition, we also provide field services and rental items to assist our customers with the installation of these products. We support our field service operations through service centers and pipe yards located in oil and gas regions throughout the United States and Western Canada. Our manufacturing facility is located in Baytown, Texas.

Demand for our product sales in the Spoolable Technologies segment is driven primarily by the number of wells being placed into production after the completions phase, as customers use our spoolable pipe and associated fittings to bring wells more rapidly onto production. Rental and field service and other revenues are closely correlated with revenues from product sales, as items sold usually have an associated rental and service component.

Recent Developments and Trends

Oil and Natural Gas Prices

The following table summarizes average oil and natural gas prices in North America over the indicated periods, as well as industry activity levels as reflected by the average number of active onshore drilling rigs during the same periods.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2024
WTI Oil Price ($/bbl) (1)	$	71.78	$	70.73	$	77.50
Natural Gas Price ($/MMBtu) (2)	$	4.14	$	2.44	$	2.15
U.S. Land Drilling Rigs (3)	572		569		602

(1) EIA Cushing, OK West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") spot price.

(2) EIA Henry Hub Natural Gas spot price per million British Thermal Unit (“MMBtu”).

(3) Baker Hughes.

In the first quarter of 2025, average U.S. land drilling and completion activity levels and oil prices were relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Average natural gas prices were up approximately 70% from the fourth quarter of 2024, as a cold January led to high inventory draws resulting in storage levels approaching the lowest levels observed in the previous five years. U.S. gas demand forecasts remained strong through the first quarter considering increasing liquid natural gas export capacity in 2025 and positive power demand trends. In early April 2025, several members of OPEC+ announced an increase to output plans beginning in April 2025, which has had a negative impact on recent commodity prices.

U.S. Trade Policies

Over the past several months, the Trump administration has implemented and announced a number of new tariffs, including new Section 232 tariffs of 25% on imports of steel and certain products made from steel from all locations, Synthetic Opioid tariffs of 20% on all imports from China, and broad “Reciprocal” tariffs with varying rates applied to U.S. trading partners across the globe. As of mid-April, most Reciprocal tariffs have been temporarily paused, except for those applied to certain countries, including China. After these tariff announcements, global equity, bond and currency markets reacted negatively and have continued to experience high levels of volatility due to the potential disruption to global trade, the increasingly uncertain global economic outlook, and the negative implications of reduced consumer demand for imported products and energy.

We anticipate incurring elevated tariff expenses on our goods imported from China, and experiencing generally higher steel input costs at our Bossier City manufacturing facility as a result of the broad Section 232 tariffs, which will both impact profitability, to the extent we cannot offset such increases with cost reduction efforts and increased pricing. The weaker oil demand outlook and associated decline in commodity pricing will potentially lead to lower U.S. land drilling and completion activity levels as 2025 progresses, and correspondingly reduced demand for our products and services. The Company also continues its efforts to diversify its supply chain by acquiring a 40% ownership percentage in a forging manufacturing facility in Vietnam in exchange for $6 million. This interest is in addition to the wholly owned production facility in Vietnam.

Pillar Two Framework

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) enacted rules (“Pillar Two”) for a new, global minimum tax of at least 15% on income arising in low-tax jurisdictions. Based on current enacted legislation, management anticipates the impact of Pillar Two to be immaterial to the Company for 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is contained in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have not been any changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussions relating to significant line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends and, where reasonably practicable, have quantified the impact of such items.

We have two operating segments consisting of the Pressure Control segment and the Spoolable Technologies segment. Our results of operations are evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer on a consolidated basis as well as at the segment level. The performance of our operating segments is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income (in addition to other measures), which is defined as income before taxes and before interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net and corporate and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments.

Pressure Control. Pressure Control revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $190.3 million, an increase of $13.6 million, or 7.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to increased sales of wellhead and production related equipment resulting from increased customer drilling efficiencies. Pressure Control operating income of $54.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 increased $3.5 million, or 6.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to the higher volume, with margins decreasing 20 basis points due to reserves taken in connection with litigation claims.

Spoolable Technologies. Spoolable Technologies revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $92.6 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 3.6% from the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to reduced customer activity levels in the seasonally slow first quarter. Total operating income for Spoolable Technologies for the first quarter of 2025 was $23.9 million, compared to operating income of $25.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower revenue realized and the corresponding reduced operating leverage.

management and other administrative functions not directly attributable to our reporting segment. Corporate and other expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $9.6 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 62.7% from $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to professional fees associated with growth initiatives.

Interest income, net. Interest income, net was $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024. The interest income, net is primarily comprised of interest income earned on the invested cash balance.

Other income, net. Other income, net represents non-cash adjustments for the revaluation of the liability related to the tax receivable agreement as a result of changes to the state tax rate.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $16.8 million compared to $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in income tax expense from the first quarter was due to a decrease in operating income quarter-over-quarter, in addition to an overall tax rate reduction due to decreases in permanent items. Cactus Inc. is only subject to federal and state income tax on its share of income from Cactus Companies. Income allocated to the non-controlling interest is only taxable to the non-controlling interest.

Pressure Control. Pressure Control revenue was $190.3 million for the first three months of 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 8.7%, from the first three months of 2024. The increased revenue was primarily due to increased sales of wellhead and production related equipment resulting from increased customer drilling efficiencies. Operating income of $54.3 million in the first three months of 2025 increased $2.7 million, or 5.1%, from the first three months of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gross margins during the period due to the higher customer activity levels, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses related to higher personnel costs, stock-based compensation expense and other reserves.

Spoolable Technologies. Spoolable Technologies revenue for the first three months of 2025 was $92.6 million, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 6.6%, from the first three months of 2024, primarily due to reduced customer activity levels. Total operating income was $23.9 million in the first three months of 2025, an increase of $7.5 million, compared to operating income of $16.4

million in the first three months of 2024. Operating income for the first three months of 2025 included higher manufacturing and field service related costs and reduced operating leverage. Operating income for the first three months of 2024 included approximately $13.3 million of expense related to the change in fair value of the estimated earn-out liability.

Corporate and other. Corporate and other revenue represents the elimination of inter-segment sales from our Pressure Control segment to our Spoolable Technologies segment. Corporate and other expenses include costs associated with executive management and other administrative functions not directly attributable to our reporting segment. Corporate and other expenses for the first three months of 2025 was $9.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 73.9% from the first three months of 2024. The increase was largely attributable to professional fees associated with growth initiatives.

Interest income, net. Interest income, net for the first three months of 2025 was $2.3 million, compared to $0.7 million for the first three months of 2024. The increase was due to an increase in interest income earned on cash invested during period.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the first three months of 2025 was $16.8 million compared to $13.4 million for the first three months of 2024. The increase in income tax expense from the first three months of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in operating income during the first three months of 2025, in conjunction with an additional $1.2 million of expense related to the revaluation of our deferred tax asset as a result of a change in our forecasted state rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2025, we had $347.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on hand, cash flows generated by operating activities, and borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). Depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may also have the ability to issue additional equity and debt if needed. As of March 31, 2025, we had $222.6 million of available borrowing capacity under our Amended ABL Credit Facility with no outstanding borrowings, and $2.4 million in letters of credit outstanding. We were in compliance with the covenants of the Amended ABL Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025.

In June 2023, our board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150 million. Under our share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions or block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, or any other method permitted under U.S. securities laws, rules and regulations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. As of March 31, 2025, $146.3 million remained authorized for future repurchases of Class A common stock under the program.

We believe that our existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Amended ABL Credit Facility will be sufficient for at least the next 12 months to meet working capital requirements, debt service obligations, anticipated capital expenditures, repurchases of shares of our Class A common stock, expected TRA liability payments, anticipated tax liabilities, and dividends to holders of our Class A common stock as well as pro rata cash distributions to holders of CC Units other than Cactus Inc.

We currently estimate our net capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2025 will range from $40 to $50 million. In the Pressure Control segment, capital expenditures are primarily related to rental fleet investments, international expansion and diversification of our low cost supply chain. In the Spoolable Technologies segment, capital expenditures are primarily related to manufacturing plant enhancements and additional deployment equipment used for product installation.

Our ability to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements, including cash requirements to fund income tax liabilities and the TRA liability at Cactus Inc., along with associated distributions to holders of CC Units relating to their ownership of Cactus Companies, depends on our future operating performance, which is affected by, and subject to, prevailing economic conditions, market conditions in the E&P industry, availability and cost of raw materials, and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will not be able to predict or control many of these factors, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate, and competitive pressures. If necessary, we would likely choose to further reduce our spending on capital expenditures and operating expenses to ensure we operate within the cash flow generated from our operations.

Cash Flows

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	41,545	$	86,263
Net cash used in investing activities	(15,451)		(6,808)
Net cash used in financing activities	(21,791)		(20,127)

Net cash provided by operating activities was $41.5 million and $86.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased due to an increase in working capital, primarily related to strong revenue recognition in the month of March in both reporting segments to close the reporting period, combined with increased inventory levels in anticipation of seasonally stronger revenue in our Spoolable Technologies segment during the second and third quarters.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15.5 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the initial investment of $6.0 million related to our joint venture in Vietnam intended to diversify our manufacturing capabilities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily related to an increase in member distributions of $3.4 million and an increase in payment of Class A dividends of $1.1 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in share repurchases of $2.8 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our 2024 Annual Report. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

A range of total possible losses for all litigation matters cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on our consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending lawsuits or claims against us, other than as discussed below, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. With respect to the litigation described below, if there was an adverse outcome there could be a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations expected for the year. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view may change in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any dispute or claim.

On August 20, 2021, Cactus filed a complaint against Cameron in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No.: 4:21-cv-02720-ASH, seeking a declaratory judgment that Cactus frac operations do not infringe certain Cameron patents and that such patents are invalid. In response to that action, Cameron has asserted infringement of certain of those patents by Cactus’ SafeLink® frac flow system and is seeking past royalties and other damages related to the alleged infringement. The parties have been unable to reach an amicable settlement, and the matter is currently set for a jury trial on June 9, 2025. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our 2024 Annual Report and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the SEC, which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2024 Annual Report or our other SEC filings except as follows:

Changes in global trade policies, including the impact of tariffs, may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Recent tariff increases, and related policy changes implemented by the US Government, have created volatility in the oil and gas markets and will likely result in higher operating expenses and lower demand for our products, which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. U.S. tariff increases on imports of steel, aluminum, and derivative products virtually worldwide may impact our costs and profitability at our U.S. manufacturing and production facilities. Additionally, the imposition of high tariffs on products from China, as well as varying levels of tariffs on products from India and Vietnam could have a less favorable impact on our supply chain diversification plans. Further, should our current suppliers be unable to provide the necessary raw materials or components or otherwise fail to deliver materials and components timely and, in the quantities required, as a result of global trade policies or other reasons, resulting delays in the provision of products or services to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, our results of operations may be adversely affected by further rising costs to the extent we are unable to recoup them from our customers.
