ProPetro Increases Share Repurchase Authorization to $200 million

MIDLAND, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ProPetro Holding Corp. (“ProPetro” or “the Company”) (NYSE: PUMP) today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase and extension of ProPetro’s share repurchase program. The program permits the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of the Company’s common shares for a total of $200 million and extends the expiration date by one year to May 31, 2025.

“We are pleased to announce the expansion of our share repurchase program, which reflects the strong support of our Board of Directors in our strategy and ability to execute,” stated Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer. “We are confident we have the right strategy in place to benefit from our position as a sophisticated service provider. Our proven discipline and transformed, bifurcated fleet give us confidence in our strategy and earnings potential. As we continue to industrialize our business, we’re creating durable and repeatable results. The industrialized model that ProPetro is implementing will continue to pay off and produce benefits for years to come. Today’s expansion highlights our commitment and confidence in that strategy.”

Mr. Sledge, added, “We view share repurchases and the overall return of capital to shareholders as an important part of our strategy demonstrating our conviction in the future of the Company while creating value for shareholders, and a key pillar of our value proposition for investors. We plan to opportunistically execute the share repurchase program, taking into consideration market conditions, our business outlook, capital position, and liquidity, all while maintaining our robust balance sheet. Furthermore, as part of our strategy, we will continue to high-grade our capital allocations and explore additional methods of strategic capital allocations beyond the announced expanded share repurchase program.”

ProPetro has repurchased approximately $74 million or 8% of our outstanding common stock since our plan’s inception last May 2023. With the program expansion, the total remaining authorization for future common share repurchases is approximately $126 million or 14% of ProPetro’s market capitalization based on the current share price.

During the pendency of the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company’s common stock, the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated in the future.
