    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
    (UNAUDITED)

    NOTE 1 — Organization and Nature of Business
    The Company was incorporated in July 2011 and is headquartered in Yardley, Pennsylvania. The Company operates as a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company. The Company offers complete mine to wellsite proppant supply and logistics solutions to our frac sand customers. These operations include the excavation, processing and sale of sand, or proppant, for hydraulic fracturing operations as well as proppant logistics and wellsite storage solutions through its SmartSystemsTM products and services. In late 2021, the Company created its Industrial Productions Solutions (“IPS”) business to diversify its customer base and markets it serves by offering sand to customers for industrial uses, such as glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, and recreation.
    Sand Mines and Processing Facilities
    The Company’s integrated Oakdale, Wisconsin facility, with on-site rail infrastructure and wet and dry sand processing facilities, has access to two Class I rail lines, the Canadian Pacific Railway through its onsite rail terminal and the Union Pacific Railway through its nearby Byron, Wisconsin facility. The Company commenced operations at its mine and processing facility near Oakdale, Wisconsin in July 2012, and subsequently expanded its operations in 2014, 2015 and 2018. Currently, the annual processing capacity at the Oakdale facility is approximately 5.5 million tons.
    In September 2020, the Company acquired two frac sand mines and related processing facilities in Ottawa, Illinois and New Auburn, Wisconsin. The Ottawa facility has an annual processing capacity of approximately 1.6 million tons and access to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (“BNSF”) Class I rail line through the Peru, Illinois transload facility. The Company began operating the Ottawa, Illinois mine and processing facility and Peru, Illinois transload facility in October 2020. The Company has no plans to operate the New Auburn facility for the foreseeable future.
    In March 2022, the Company acquired its Blair, Wisconsin frac sand mine and related processing facility. The annual processing capacity at the Blair facility is approximately 2.9 million tons and contains an onsite, unit train capable rail terminal with access to the Class I Canadian National Railway. The Company began operating the Blair mine and processing facility in May 2023.
    Transload & Logistics Solutions
    In March 2018, the Company acquired the rights to operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin and began providing Northern White sand in-basin in April 2018.
    In September 2020, the Company acquired the rights to use a rail terminal located in El Reno, Oklahoma.
    In September 2021, the Company acquired the rights to construct and operate a transloading terminal in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania to service the Appalachian Basin, including the Marcellus and Utica Formations. The Company began providing sand to customers through this terminal in January 2022 and expanded the facility’s capacity in late 2023.
    In December 2023 and January 2024, the Company acquired rights to use transloading terminals in Minerva, Ohio and Dennison, Ohio, respectively and commenced operations servicing the Appalachian Basin in 2024.
    In June 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Quickthree Solutions, Inc. (“Quickthree”), a manufacturer of portable vertical proppant storage solution systems. Quickthree formed the basis for the Company’s SmartSystems under which it offers various proppant storage solutions that create efficiencies, flexibility, enhanced safety and reliability for customers by providing the capability to unload, store and deliver proppant at the wellsite, as well as the ability to rapidly set up, takedown and transport the entire system.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)
    (UNAUDITED)

    NOTE 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    The information presented below supplements the complete description of our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2025.
    Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
    The accompanying unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of the Company are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
    Use of Estimates
    The preparation of interim statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements include, but are not limited to: impairment considerations of assets, including intangible assets, fixed assets, and inventory; estimated cost of future asset retirement obligations; fair value of acquired assets and assume liabilities; recoverability of deferred tax assets; inventory reserve; the collectability of receivables; and certain liabilities. Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information or actual results become available in the future, and those differences could be material.
    Additionally, events such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, rapidly changing trade policies between the United States and other countries, and recent output changes by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may affect oil and natural gas prices and create significant volatility in the oilfield service sector. The Company’s sales into Canada and Mexico are currently subject to tariffs, set at 25%. During the first quarter 2025, approximately 10% of sand volumes sold went to Canada and Mexico. The Company anticipates that its customers would be responsible for the increased cost, which may result in customers sourcing their sand needs from other suppliers within their own countries. The Company is currently unable to estimate the effect of current or future events on its future financial position and results of operations. Therefore, the Company can give no assurances that these events will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
    Employee Retention Credit
    The Company qualified for federal government assistance through employee retention credit provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company included $522 in prepaid expenses and other current assets on its consolidated balance sheets related to receivables for the employee retention credits. The calculation of the credit was based on employees continued employment and represents a portion of the wages paid to them. For income tax purposes, the credit will result in decreased expense related to the wages it offsets in the period received.
    Performance Obligations
    The Company recorded $54 of deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, of which $26 has been recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the remaining amount is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $118,787 in unsatisfied performance obligations related to contracts with customers. The Company expects to perform these obligations and recognize revenue of $108,131 and $10,656 in the remainder of 2025 and 2026, respectively.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, which updates various disclosures including enhancing the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation of information. The other amendments in this Update are intended to improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures. The Update is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. While the Company is still in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2023-07 and its related updates on the consolidated financial statements, at the time of adoption, it believes the primary effect will be updated note disclosures.
    In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which updates various disclosures including enhancing the disclosure of certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The Update is effective for the Company for its annual financial statements for 2027 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company is still in the process of evaluating the effects of ASU 2024-03, at the time of adoption, it believes the primary effect will be disaggregation of the cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative line items on the face of the financial statements or within the notes to the financial statements.

    FCB ABL Credit Facility
    On September 3, 2024, the Company entered into a $30,000 five-year senior secured asset-based credit facility with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company. The FCB ABL Credit Facility provides for non-amortizing revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000, subject to a borrowing base comprised of eligible inventory and accounts receivable. Additionally, obligations under the FCB ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in certain non-real estate assets. Borrowings under the FCB ABL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 2.75%.
    The FCB ABL Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur liens or other indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets. In addition, the FCB ABL Credit Facility requires us in certain limited circumstances to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0. The FCB ABL Credit Facility also contains certain affirmative covenants and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The Company was compliant with all financial requirements of this facility.
    The available borrowing amount under the FCB ABL Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025 was $30,000 and is based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The Company had no borrowings outstanding and $30,000 available to be drawn under this facility as of March 31, 2025. The combined weighted average interest rate for all variable debt for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 10.81%.
    VFI Equipment Financing
    On June 28, 2024, the Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement with VFI with a principal amount of $10,000. The VFI Equipment Financing is legally comprised of a Master Lease Agreement and one lease schedule. The VFI Equipment Financing is considered a lease under article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code but is considered a financing arrangement for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and not a lease. The collateral under the VFI Equipment Financing includes the majority of the Company’s SmartSystems equipment. The VFI Equipment Financing bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.56%. The Company used the net proceeds to repay in full and terminate the Oakdale Equipment Financing, and the remainder was added to working capital. The VFI Equipment Financing matures on May 8, 2028. The Company has the right to reacquire the underlying equipment on the lease schedule upon maturity for one dollar.

    The Sand segment includes both frac sand sales and IPS sales. The sand production process begins the same way for each of these revenue streams. Frac Sand consists of four primary sizes of sand, called grades. IPS begins with these same frac sand grades and may contain additional sizes or custom blends of a variety of grades.
    The SmartSystems segment revenue is primarily from the rental of our patented SmartSystems equipment and related services provided to customers. This segment offers customers portable wellsite storage and management solutions that enable customers to unload, store, and deliver proppant at the wellsite.
    During the year ended December 31, 2024, four of the Company’s customers had revenues of more than 10%. Of these four customers, all had revenues only in the Sand Segment.

    NOTE 10 — Income Taxes
    The Company calculates its interim income tax provision by estimating the annual expected effective tax rate and applying that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate was approximately (233.6)% and 155.2%, respectively. The computation of the effective tax rate includes modifications from the statutory rate such as income tax credits, tax depletion deduction, carrybacks, and state taxes, among other items. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the statutory tax rate was 21.0%.
    The Company has recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions included in its consolidated balance sheet of $2,240 as of December 31, 2024. There was no material change for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
    The Company believes it will not be able to use all of its tax benefits from some of its tax deductions. Because of this, it has recorded a partial valuation allowance against those benefits, which is included in the long-term deferred tax liabilities, net on its consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a partial valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets on its consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $2,156. There was no material change for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
    The Company’s federal income tax returns subsequent to 2020 remain open to audit by taxing authorities. The Company has not been informed that its tax returns are the subject of any audit or investigation by taxing authorities.

    Overview 
    The Company
    We are a fully integrated frac and industrial sand supply and services company. We offer complete mine to wellsite proppant supply and logistics solutions to our frac sand customers. We produce low-cost, high quality Northern White sand, which is a premium sand used as proppant to enhance hydrocarbon recovery rates in the hydraulic fracturing of oil and natural gas wells and for a variety of industrial applications. We also offer proppant logistics solutions to our customers through our in-basin transloading terminals and our SmartSystems™ wellsite storage capabilities. In recent years, we have expanded our product line to offer Industrial Products Solutions (“IPS”) in order to diversify our customer base and markets we serve by offering sand for industrial uses. We market our products and services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, oilfield service companies, and industrial manufacturers. We sell our sand through long-term contracts, short-term supply agreements or spot sales in the open market. We provide wellsite proppant storage solutions services and equipment under flexible contract terms custom tailored to meet the needs of our customers. We believe that, among other things: (i) the size and favorable geologic characteristics of our sand reserves; (ii) the strategic location and logistical advantages of our facilities; (iii) our proprietary SmartDepot™ portable wellsite storage silos, SmartPath® wellsite proppant management system

    and SmartBelt™ conveyor; (iv) access to all Class I rail lines; and (v) the industry experience of our senior management team make us as a highly attractive provider of sand and logistics services.
    We incorporated in Delaware in July 2011 and began operations at our Oakdale, Wisconsin facility with 1.1 million tons of annual processing capacity in July 2012. After several expansions, our current annual processing capacity at our Oakdale facility, which has access to both the Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific rail networks, is approximately 5.5 million tons. In 2020, we acquired our Ottawa, Illinois mine and processing facility, which has an annual processing capacity of approximately 1.6 million tons and access to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail network. In March 2022, we acquired our Blair, Wisconsin mine and processing facility, which has approximately 2.9 million tons of total annual processing capacity and contains an onsite, unit train capable rail terminal with access to the Class I Canadian National rail network. We commenced operations at the Blair facility in May 2023. Our total annual processing capacity of our operating facilities is approximately 10.0 million tons.
    We directly control five in-basin transloading facilities and have access to third party transloading terminals in all operating basins. We operate a unit train capable transloading terminal in Van Hook, North Dakota to service the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin. We also serve the Appalachian Basin through three company-controlled terminals. In January 2022, we began operations at a unit train capable transloading terminal in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, which we expanded in 2023. In December 2023, we acquired the right to operate a terminal in Minerva, Ohio and in January 2024, we acquired the right to operate a terminal in Dennison, Ohio. These two Ohio terminals became operational in 2024. We also have the right to use a rail terminal located in El Reno, Oklahoma. Additionally, we have longstanding relationships with third party terminal operators that provide us with access to substantially all oil and natural gas exploration production basins of North America.
    We offer to our customers portable wellsite proppant storage and management solutions through our SmartSystems products and services. Our SmartSystems enable customers to unload, store and deliver proppant at the wellsite, and rapidly set up, takedown and transport the entire system.
    In 2021, we expanded our product line to offer Industrial Sand through IPS. In 2023, we completed the installation of blending and cooling assets at our Ottawa, Illinois facility that we believe provides additional opportunities to increase our customer base in the IPS business. While sales of IPS to customers have been a small portion of our overall sand sales, we expect to continue to expand and diversify to serve the major industrial markets throughout North America, including glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, recreation and more.
    Market Trends
    Our historical results of operations and cash flows may not be indicative of results of operations and cash flows to be expected in the future. Events such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, rapidly changing trade policies between the United States and other countries, and recent output changes by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may affect oil and natural gas prices and create significant volatility in the oilfield service sector. Our sales into Canada and Mexico are currently subject to tariffs, set at 25%. During the first quarter 2025, approximately 10% of our sand sold went to Canada and Mexico. We expect that our customers would be responsible for the increased cost, which may result in customers sourcing their sand needs from other suppliers within their own countries. We are currently unable to estimate the effect of current or future events on our future financial position and results of operations. Therefore, we can give no assurances that these events will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
    We saw an increase in the volume of sand sold in 2024, which has been followed by a slowdown in the first quarter of 2025. We believe the slowdown in the first quarter of 2025 is largely cyclical following a strong fourth quarter and also impacted by seasonality. There have also been modest pricing fluctuations over the periods presented, but we believe the fluctuation is consistent with other commodities in the oilfield services sector. We believe the demand for frac sand will continue to moderately increase driven by increased lateral well lengths and increased volume of sand per linear foot of lateral well. Additionally, demand may increase over the next five years, due to potential increased export capacity of LNG and increased power demand for data centers.
    Demand in the IPS business is relatively stable as customers are spread over a wide range of industries including glass, foundry, building products, filtration, geothermal, renewables, ceramics, turf & landscape, retail, recreation and more. The IPS

    business is primarily influenced by macroeconomic drivers such as consumer demand and population growth. We believe that as this business grows, it may provide us with the ability to diversify a portion our sales into more stable, consumer-driven products to help mitigate price volatility in the oil and gas industry.
    Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump has issued a series of executive orders and memoranda signaling a shift in environmental and energy policy in the United States, including the revocation of approximately 80 Biden-era executive orders related to public health, the environment, climate change and climate-related financial risks. President Trump also declared a national energy emergency, directing agencies to expedite conventional energy projects, and several agencies have undertaken actions of a deregulatory nature in accordance with the executive orders, memoranda and emergency declaration. During the first quarter of 2025, there have been fluctuating tariffs that may directly or indirectly affect our results of operations. We continue to actively monitor current events, but we are unable to estimate the magnitude of their effect on our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or give any assurances that these events will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    Revenues
    Revenues were $65.6 million and tons sold were approximately 1,069,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $83.1 million, during which time we sold approximately 1,336,000 tons of sand. The key factors contributing to the change in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows:
    •Sand revenue declined to $64.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 versus $79.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Total volumes declined by approximately 20% while sand pricing per ton was slightly higher in the current period. The volumes sold in the first quarter of 2024 were higher due to that period experiencing a recovery period following a steep decline in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, activity in the fourth quarter of 2024 was high due to customers shifting some activity into the end of 2024 leading to lower activity in the first quarter of 2025.
    22


    SMART SAND, INC.
    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    (UNAUDITED)
    •SmartSystems revenue was approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decline in SmartSystems revenue was due to lower utilization of our SmartSystems fleet in early 2025.
    Cost of Goods Sold
    Cost of goods sold was $62.8 million and $71.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Cost of goods sold declined as a result of lower total sales volumes. Both logistics and production costs increased on a per ton basis due to a shift in delivery location and lost efficiencies due to lower production volumes.
    Gross Profit
    Gross profit was $2.8 million and $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due primarily to lower sales volumes and the higher variable production cost per ton on those lower sales volumes.
    Operating Expenses
    Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower in total at $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decline in SG&A cost were driven by reduced wages and royalties on lower sales volumes as well as reduced banking and legal costs associated with debt refinancing in the prior year.
    Interest Expense, net
    We incurred $0.3 million and $0.5 million of net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
    Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
    For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, our effective tax rate was approximately (233.6)% and 155.2%, respectively. We are required to record our interim period income tax expense (benefit) in accordance with GAAP, which requires that we estimate our full year effective tax rate and apply that rate to the net income for the period. Our effective tax rate includes modifications from the statutory rate for items such as income tax credits, tax depletion deduction, carrybacks, and state taxes, among other items. The biggest driver of our income tax benefit (expense) is our depletion deduction calculation, which is not directly related to the net income of our Company. This tax deduction has an equally large effect on our income tax rate, which is the basis for the quarterly income tax expense (benefit) calculation. We do not expect to be a payer of federal income tax in 2025 and we expect to pay an immaterial amount of state income taxes in 2025. Because of the difference between income tax recorded on a GAAP basis and the cash taxes we expect to pay, we use additional non-GAAP performance measures of contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to evaluate our results of operations.
    As of March 31, 2025, we have recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions included on our balance sheet, related to our depletion deduction methodology. As of March 31, 2025, we determined that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to fully realize the benefits of certain existing deductible temporary differences and have recorded a partial valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets, which is included in liabilities, long-term, net on our balance sheet, and a corresponding increase to the income tax expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
    Net Loss
    Net loss was $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The higher net loss in the current period was primarily due to non-cash deferred income taxes. Income tax expense (benefit) often distorts our results of operations due to variances between amounts recorded for GAAP and the amount we pay in a reporting period. We calculate our income tax expense as required by GAAP, but we do not
    23


    SMART SAND, INC.
    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    (UNAUDITED)
    expect to be a payer of any material income taxes for the full year 2025. Additionally, we had lower gross profit from lower sales volumes and higher unit production costs, partially offset by lower operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Because of the difference between income tax recorded on a GAAP basis and the cash taxes we expect to pay, we use non-GAAP measures of contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow as measures of our performance.
    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Contribution margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Gross profit is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to contribution margin, net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider contribution margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because contribution margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
    Contribution Margin
    We use contribution margin, which we define as total revenues less cost of goods sold excluding depreciation, depletion and accretion of asset retirement obligations, to measure our financial and operating performance. Contribution margin excludes other operating expenses and income, including costs not directly associated with the operations of our business such as accounting, human resources, information technology, legal, sales and other administrative activities. 
    We believe that reporting contribution margin and contribution margin per ton sold provides useful performance metrics to management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, because these metrics provide an operating and financial measure of our ability, as a combined business, to generate margin in excess of our operating cost base.
    Gross profit is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to contribution margin. Contribution margin should not be considered an alternative to gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP. Since contribution margin may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of contribution margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of gross profit to contribution margin.

    We define EBITDA as net income, plus: (i) depreciation, depletion and amortization expense; (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and other results of operations based taxes; and (iii) interest expense. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, plus: (i) gain or loss on sale of fixed assets or discontinued operations; (ii) integration and transition costs associated with specified transactions; (iii) equity compensation; (iv) acquisition and development costs; (v) non-recurring cash charges related to restructuring, retention and other similar actions; (vi) earn-out, contingent consideration obligations; and (vii) non-cash charges and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
    •the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets;
    •the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;
    •our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;
    •our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry without regard to the impact of financing methods or capital structure; and
    •our debt covenant compliance, as adjusted EBITDA is a key component of critical covenants to the FCB ABL Credit Facility.
    We believe that our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to lower sales volumes of sand sold.

    Free Cash Flow
    Free cash flow, which we define as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to measure the liquidity of our business.
    Net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flows. Free cash flows should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP. Because free cash flows may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of free cash flows may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flows.

    (in thousands)
    Net cash provided by operating activities$8,724 $(3,863)
    Purchases of property, plant and equipment(3,536)(1,646)
    Free cash flow$5,188 $(5,509)
    Free cash flow was $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $(5.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The positive free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to management’s continued focus on managing operating expenses and capital expenditures to be in line with current market activity and expected trends as well as higher working capital conversion into cash.
    Liquidity and Capital Resources
    Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operations and availability under our FCB ABL Credit Facility and other equipment financing sources. As of March 31, 2025, cash on hand was $5.1 million and we had $30.0 million in undrawn availability on our FCB ABL Credit Facility.
    Based on our balance sheet, cash flows, current market conditions, and information available to us at this time, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity and other available capital resources, to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months.
    Material Cash Requirements
    Dividends and Share Repurchase Program
    On October 3, 2024, the Smart Sand Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock, which was paid on October 28, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 15, 2024. The initial dividend payment was approximately $3.9 million.
    On October 3, 2024, the Smart Sand Board of Directors also approved an eighteen-month share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $10.0 million of our ordinary shares (the “Repurchase Program”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Program, we may repurchase our ordinary shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices and at such times as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. Management may make repurchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or structured share repurchase programs. The Repurchase Program will be conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and shall be subject to market conditions and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not obligate management to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares and the Repurchase Program may be modified or suspended at any time.
    During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 135,196 shares of our common stock for $0.3 million. The remaining amount that may be repurchased as of March 31, 2025 is $9.7 million.

    SMART SAND, INC.
    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    (UNAUDITED)

    Capital Requirements
    We expect full year 2025 capital expenditures to be between $13.0 million and $17.0 million. Our expected capital expenditures for 2025 are primarily to open new mining areas for development, efficiency projects at Oakdale, Blair and Ottawa facilities, expansion and customization of our newly acquired Ohio terminals and potential investment in one or more new terminals. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with existing cash from operations, equipment financing options available to us or borrowings under the FCB ABL Credit Facility.
    Indebtedness
    Our debt facilities include the VFI Equipment Financing, various notes payable and our FCB ABL Credit Facility. Our VFI Equipment Financing is secured by a substantial portion of the Company’s SmartSystems equipment. The outstanding balance under the VFI Equipment Financing as of March 31, 2025 was $7.8 million. Minimum cash payments on this facility for the remainder of 2025 are anticipated to be $2.0 million. Our various notes payable are primarily secured by heavy equipment. Total debt under these notes payable as of March 31, 2025 was $3.7 million. Minimum cash payments on these notes payable for the remainder of 2025 are anticipated to be $0.9 million. There were no outstanding borrowings on our FCB ABL Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025.
    Operating Leases
    We use leases primarily to procure certain office space, railcars and heavy equipment as part of our operations. The majority of our lease payments are fixed and determinable. Our operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2025 were $20.6 million. Minimum cash payments on operating leases for the remainder of 2025 are anticipated to be $7.1 million.
    Mineral Rights Property
    The Company is obligated under certain contracts for minimum payments for the right to use land for extractive activities. The annual minimum payments under these contracts are approximately $2.5 million per year in the aggregate for the next 12 years.
    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
    We had outstanding performance bonds of $19.7 million as of March 31, 2025.
    Contractual Obligations
    As of March 31, 2025, we had contractual obligations for the FCB ABL Credit Facility, VFI Equipment Financing, notes payable, operating and finance leases, delivery of sand, royalties and similar minimum payments for the rights to mine land, capital expenditures, asset retirement obligations, and other commitments to municipalities for maintenance.
    Environmental Matters
    We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing, among other things, hazardous materials, air and water emissions, environmental contamination and reclamation and the protection of the environment and natural resources. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.
    Seasonality
    Our business is affected to some extent by seasonal fluctuations in weather that impact the production levels for a portion of our wet sand processing capacity. While our dry plants are able to process finished product volumes evenly throughout the year, some of our excavation and our wet sand processing activities have historically been limited during winter months. As a consequence, we typically have experienced lower cash operating costs in the first and fourth quarter of each calendar year, and
    27


    SMART SAND, INC.
    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    (UNAUDITED)
    higher cash operating costs in the second and third quarter of each calendar year when we have overproduced sand to meet demand in the winter months. These higher cash operating costs are capitalized into inventory and expensed when these tons are sold, which can lead to us having higher overall cost of production in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year as we expense inventory costs that were previously capitalized. We have indoor wet processing facilities at two of our plant locations, which allow us to produce wet sand inventory year-round to support a portion of our dry sand processing capacity, which may reduce some of the effects of this seasonality. We may also sell frac sand for use in oil and natural gas producing basins where severe weather conditions may curtail drilling activities and, as a result, our sales volumes to those areas may be reduced during such severe weather periods.
    Customer Concentration
    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Equitable Gas Corporation, Encino Energy, Expand Energy Corporation and CNX Resources Corporation accounted for 35.5%, 13.2%, 12.9% and 12.6% of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenue from Equitable Gas Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services and Encino Energy accounted for 37.4%, 11.4% and 11.2% respectively, of total revenue.
    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 
    There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
    Use of Estimates
    The preparation of interim statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements include but are not limited to: impairment considerations of assets, including intangible assets, fixed assets, and inventory; estimated cost of future asset retirement obligations; fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities; recoverability of deferred tax assets; inventory reserve; and the collectability of receivables; and certain liabilities.
    Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information or actual results become available in the future, and those differences could be material. Future economic performance is uncertain due to current high inflation and other economic concerns. We continue to actively monitor the global impact of current events, but we are unable to estimate the impact of future events on our financial position and results of operations or give any assurances that these events will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

    ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
    We have considered changes in our exposure to market risks during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and have determined that there have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025.
    ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
    Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness 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. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
    Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
    There were no changes that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 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

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies - Litigation of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
    There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
    During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no shares were sold by the Company without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
    Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
    On October 3, 2024, our board of directors approved the eighteen-month Repurchase Program, pursuant to which we may repurchase ordinary shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices and at such times as we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. We may make repurchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or structured share repurchase programs. The Repurchase Program will be conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and shall be subject to market conditions and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares and the Repurchase Program may be modified or suspended at any time at our discretion. The following table outlines purchases of our common stock under the Repurchase Program during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
    None.

    ITEM 4.  MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
    We are committed to maintaining a culture that prioritizes mine safety. We believe that our commitment to safety, the environment and the communities in which we operate is critical to the success of our business. Our sand mining operations are
    30


    subject to mining safety regulation. The U.S. Mining Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) is the primary regulatory organization governing frac sand mining and processing. Accordingly, MSHA regulates quarries, surface mines, underground mines and the industrial mineral processing facilities associated with and located at quarries and mines. The mission of MSHA is to administer the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and to enforce compliance with mandatory miner safety and health standards. As part of MSHA’s oversight, representatives perform at least two unannounced inspections annually for each above-ground facility.
    We are also subject to regulations by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which has promulgated rules for workplace exposure to respirable silica for several other industries. Respirable silica is a known health hazard for workers exposed over long periods. MSHA has adopted rules of permissible exposure limits for respirable crystalline silica and an action level for respirable crystalline silica, implemented medical surveillance for metal/non-metal mines and updated the respiratory protection standard. Portions of the rule are subject to legal challenge and have been stayed as of April 2025. Airborne respirable silica is associated with work areas at our site and is monitored closely through routine testing and MSHA inspection.
    Our operations are subject to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, which imposes stringent health and safety standards on numerous aspects of mineral extraction and processing operations, including the training of personnel, operating procedures, operating equipment, and other matters. Our failure to comply with such standards, or changes in such standards or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition or otherwise impose significant restrictions on our ability to conduct mineral extraction and processing operations. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.  Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this Report.
