“Liberty delivered an exceptional second quarter amidst increased macroeconomic uncertainty and energy sector volatility. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 7% and 8% sequentially, respectively, against an industry backdrop of softening completions activity. This strong performance is a direct reflection of the outstanding contributions of our team, safely driving record efficiencies and increased utilization that more than offset industry pricing headwinds,” commented Ron Gusek, Chief Executive Officer. “We are leveraging our full suite of completion services, including frac, wireline, sand, logistics, fueling services and top tier engineering and diagnostic tools, to drive increased engagement with our customers.”

“We are excited to bolster our technology leadership with rapid progress on our cutting-edge digiPrime enhancement with the industry’s first variable speed natural gas reciprocating engine. Our successful development and field testing during the second quarter reflect our commitment to continued innovation in high efficiency, low emission technologies,” continued Mr. Gusek. “We also completed the successful field trial of the industry’s first last-mile sand slurry system. By transporting sand slurry via pipe, our system is expected to reduce costs, improve delivery reliability, and decrease dust, emissions and road maintenance for our customers.”

“Growing power demand from data centers and industrial users necessitates a collaborative approach to address power service requirements that increasingly surpass the traditional utility offering. During the second quarter, we announced two strategic alliances for the development of power facilities. In Pennsylvania, we are collaborating with Range Resources and Imperial Land Corporation to provide power services at a strategically located industrial park tailored for scalable development with advantaged access to Marcellus natural gas. In Colorado, our strategic alliance with AltitudeX Aviation Group will support a proposed development at the Colorado Air & Space Port powered by a Liberty microgrid,” continued Mr. Gusek. “These partnerships address the barriers that commercial and industrial developers face, including access to suitable land, integrated power management solutions, and reliable fuel supply. Together, we offer a turnkey solution that combines on-site generation, market integration, and infrastructure readiness to meet the evolving needs of high demand users.”

“Our recently announced collaboration with Oklo represents an exciting path towards delivering integrated, next generation power solutions for sophisticated large load customers. This comprehensive approach combines the speed to market of Liberty’s Forte℠ distributed natural gas power and high-performance load management solution to meet immediate demand, with a path to integrate grid power management and baseload small modular nuclear reactors,” continued Mr. Gusek. “As energy systems evolve, our blended solution provides long-term, reliable power that utilizes breakthrough technology and energy management solutions.”

“As we look ahead, the strategic investment we have made in completions through cycles enhances our ability to support customers in an evolving landscape. We are leveraging our integrated suite of completion services, cutting-edge technologies, industry leading partnerships and the dedication of our exceptional team to navigate market uncertainties. Within our power business, LPI delivers a robustly engineered, end-to-end energy solution uniquely integrating on-site generation and load management, ISO market participation, and advantaged retail supply, creating a comprehensive, flexible approach that redefines reliability and cost efficiency in deregulated regions,” continued Mr. Gusek. “We’re excited by LPI’s future growth and its ability to contribute to our track record of delivering superior long-term returns, while balancing disciplined investment with a strong balance sheet through cycles.”

Outlook

While oil markets continue to evolve in response to dynamic global economic and geopolitical developments, North American production has remained relatively stable. As the world’s largest supplier of oil and natural gas, U.S. producers continue to play a vital role in delivering reliable energy to global markets, supporting domestic industrial activity and power demand, and providing strategic leverage in the geopolitical landscape.

Recent events, ranging from shifting tariff policies to rising regional hostilities and mixed economic signals affecting global oil demand, have not yet driven a meaningful North American production response. Larger, well-capitalized producers with strong balance sheets and highly efficient operations enjoy healthy well economics, enabling them to weather commodity price volatility. Intra-quarter price fluctuations created hedging opportunities, further tempering supply side reactions.

Producers are targeting a relatively flat production profile, sustaining a baseline of frac activity to offset the natural decline of producing wells. Completions activity is anticipated to gradually slow during the second half of the year, reflecting disciplined capital deployment and contributing to market pricing pressure on services. This slowdown in activity is expected to accelerate equipment cannibalization and attrition, which fundamentally improves the supply and demand dynamics within the services industry over the cycle.

Today’s larger producers require a technically superior service offering to meet the rising demand for efficiencies and engineering support that few service companies are positioned to deliver. Liberty’s unmatched portfolio breadth, integrated services, and technical innovation uniquely enable us to deliver greater value to our customers and drive outperformance.

“Amidst market pressures and near-term reductions in customer activity, we are planning to modestly reduce our deployed fleet count and reposition this horsepower to support our expanded simulfrac offering for long-term partners,” continued Mr. Gusek. “We have created a unique competitive position that allows us to stay agile in dynamic markets while maintaining strong long-term advantages, underpinned by our scale, technology leadership, vertical integration and a fortress-like balance sheet. We are excited by the road ahead and our emerging growth opportunities.”
