“We had an excellent third quarter as we continued to execute on our operating plan, expanded the reach of our infrastructure, and improved profitability. We achieved year-over-year and sequential volume growth while increasing margins as we recognized the benefits of our operating cost reduction efforts. We expect the positive momentum to continue in the fourth quarter and 2024, as we continue to drive a culture of excellence across the organization,” said Amanda Brock, Chief Executive Officer of Aris.

“Water handling is critical to the success of our customers’ long-term production growth plans in the Permian Basin. We remain focused on delivering comprehensive water management solutions to our customers while simultaneously advancing technologies for the beneficial reuse of water outside of the oil and gas industry, which holds the promise of further improving the sustainability of our customers’ operations. Our produced water treatment pilot project with ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and ExxonMobil is now fully underway and testing several exciting technologies.

We are also engaging in preliminary conversations with several third parties to explore commercialization of the minerals found in our produced water. While we are still in the early stages, we are encouraged by the data we have seen so far.”

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Net income was $12.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 versus net income of $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and net income of $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted Net Income¹ was $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 versus $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 and $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $44.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, up approximately 14% from $39.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, and up approximately 5% from $42.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

The Company had gross margin per barrel of $0.26 for the third quarter of 2023 versus $0.23 in the third quarter of 2022 and $0.24 for the second quarter of 2023. The Company had Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel² of $0.40 for the third quarter of 2023, versus $0.36 in the third quarter of 2022 and $0.38 for the second quarter of 2023.

Third quarter 2023 capital expenditures³ totaled approximately $40 million versus $70 million in the third quarter of 2022, in line with full year 2023 capital expenditure expectations of $160 to $170 million.

STRONG BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $24 million in cash and approximately $166 million available under its revolving credit facility for total available liquidity of approximately $190 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s leverage ratio was 2.53X, at the low end of its target leverage range of 2.50X-3.50X⁴. Accounts Receivable balance of approximately $81 million was down approximately 14% from the second quarter while revenue grew 3% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting continued improvements in working capital management.

On October 12, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement which provides for a $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility with maturity extended through October 2027. The facility, which was sized proportionate to the Company’s growth since the prior facility was put in place, has covenants and interest rates consistent with the prior credit agreement.

FOURTH QUARTER 2023 DIVIDEND

On October 31, 2023, Aris’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on its Class A common stock for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $0.09 per share. In conjunction with the dividend payment, a distribution of $0.09 per unit will be paid to unit holders of Solaris Midstream Holdings, LLC. The dividend will be paid on December 21, 2023, to holders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the close of business on December 7, 2023. The distribution to unit holders of Solaris Midstream Holdings, LLC will be subject to the same payment and record dates.

FOURTH QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

“We are very pleased with the progress the team has made year-to-date and we are on track to achieve the high-end of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance we provided at the beginning of the year and affirmed last quarter,” said Amanda Brock.

“As we look to the fourth quarter, we anticipate produced water volumes to be up approximately 2–3%, adjusting for the impact of the Martin County asset sale, and water solutions volumes to be down moderately sequentially versus the third quarter due to the pull-forward of activity we saw in the third quarter as well as potential seasonal year-end slowdowns.

In terms of profitability, while we are pleased with the progress we’ve made through the third quarter of this year, we will continue to pursue additional cost-savings opportunities that can further enhance margins.”

• For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects:
  • Produced Water Handling volumes between 1,045 and 1,055 thousand barrels of water per day which reflects the approximately 50 thousand barrels per day impact of the Martin County asset divestiture
  • Water Solutions volumes between 405 and 420 thousand barrels of water per day
  • Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel² between $0.39 and $0.41
  • Skim oil recoveries of 0.10% of inlet produced water handling volumes at an average WTI price of $87 per barrel
  • Adjusted EBITDA¹ between $41 and $45 million, raising full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $166 - $170 million, the high-end of previous full year 2023 guidance
  • Capital expenditures between $24 and $34 million³, partially offset by $20.1 million cash proceeds from the sale of non-core assets

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company uses financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, Adjusted Net Income and net debt and leverage ratio. Although these Non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing the Company’s operating results and cash flows, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or gross margin or any other measures prepared under GAAP.

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus: interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; abandoned well costs, asset impairment and abandoned project charges; losses on the sale of assets; transaction costs; research and development expense; loss on debt modification; stock-based compensation expense; and other non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges (such as temporary power costs, litigation expenses and severance costs), less any gains on sale of assets. For the fourth quarter of 2022, we began including research and development expense in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA due to our new beneficial reuse pilot projects, which are discreet, non-revenue initiatives.

The Company calculates Adjusted Operating Margin as Gross Margin plus depreciation, amortization and accretion. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel as Adjusted Operating Margin divided by total volumes.

The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income as Net Income (Loss) plus the after-tax impacts of stock-based compensation and plus or minus the after-tax impacts of certain items affecting comparability, which are typically noncash and/or nonrecurring items. The Company calculated Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share as (i) Net Income (Loss) plus the after-tax impacts of stock-based compensation and plus or minus the after-tax impacts of certain items affecting comparability, which are typically noncash and/or nonrecurring items, divided by (ii) the diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC interests, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company calculates its leverage ratio as net debt as of September 30, 2023, divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. Net debt is calculated as the principal amount of total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023, less cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023.

The Company believes these presentations are used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies within its industry. Similarly, the Company’s management uses this information for comparative purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, and Adjusted Net Income are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as measures of liquidity or as alternatives to net income (loss) or gross margin. Additionally, these presentations as defined by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as gross margin, operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities.

Although we provide forecasts for the non-GAAP measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel, we are not able to forecast their most directly comparable measures (net income and gross margin) calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of forward-looking non-GAAP metrics are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements include but are not limited to non-recurring gains or losses, unusual or non-recurring items, income tax benefit or expense, or one-time transaction costs and cost of revenue, which could have a significant impact on the GAAP measures. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. As a result, no reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures is provided.
