\nLiberty Energy Inc. (NYSE: LBRT; \u201cLiberty\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) announced today first quarter 2023 financial and operational results.<\/p>\n
Summary Results and Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cLiberty delivered an outstanding first quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA of $330 million and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.90, navigating volatile oil prices that resulted from financial sector stresses that sent ripples across the energy sector. This was our fourth consecutive quarter of record profitability which is reflected in our trailing 12-month Adjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed3<\/sup> of 43%,\u201d commented Chris Wright, Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n \n\u201cLiberty has an 11-year track record of delivering significantly higher average returns than our industry and the S&P 5004<\/sup>. Our competitive advantage has never been larger, and our industry is now investing with discipline. Supplying the world with oil and gas is mission critical and spare production capacity today is quite modest implying a positive outlook in the coming years for our industry and company. Since July 2022, we have now returned $218 million to shareholders, through cash dividends and the retirement of 7.1% of outstanding shares, while continuing to invest in our long-term growth plans.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cThree years from the onset of the global pandemic and severe crash in energy markets, discipline is now widespread in the energy sector. North American frac activity predominantly supports the maintenance of today\u2019s oil and gas production levels. The days of breakneck oil and gas production growth are over, but simply supporting today\u2019s record high oil and gas production levels in the U.S. and Canada requires a healthy level of frac activity. Service sector margins are now at healthy levels, more in line with our E&P customers that have been experiencing strong margins for many quarters,\u201d continued Mr. Wright. \u201cIn this longer, perhaps steadier, cycle ahead there will be episodic challenges like we are seeing today in natural gas markets and, of course, recessionary risks. Today, we have excess demand for Liberty services as our customers seek to align themselves with the top performers as part of a broader industry \u2018flight to quality\u2019 trend. We will lead the way in maintaining pricing and profitability as we invest in our digiTechnologies\u2120 offering and retire older equipment. We believe these actions will support strong, long-term returns for both Liberty and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n \nTight frac markets persist in North America. Domestic natural gas markets are now beginning to show signs of a widely anticipated slowdown, but the softness is likely transitory ahead of a wave of LNG and Mexico pipeline export growth. The vast majority of frac services are weighted toward oilier basins and are working to simply maintain production levels.<\/p>\n \nThe fundamental outlook for North American hydrocarbons is strong, as constrained global oil supply is confronted by rising demand in emerging markets and a gradual recovery in China. North American E&P companies have demonstrated strength and discipline amidst economic turbulence. Development programs are largely unchanged, as production has been roughly aligned with oil demand in the years since the pandemic and E&P companies are financially healthier relative to prior cycles.<\/p>\n \nIn early spring, financial sector stresses and the heightened perceived recessionary risk on global oil demand resulted in an abrupt fall in oil prices. Concerns have since eased as markets digested the news and economic data showed resiliency. A surprise collective and proactive output cut from OPEC+ members coupled with falling Russian supply drove oil prices back to pre-bank stress levels.<\/p>\n \n\u201cAs we look ahead, early year strength continues into the second quarter, where we are seeing stable pricing and normal seasonality,\u201d commented Mr. Wright. \u201cFrac markets remain at high utilization levels, and robust demand in larger, oilier basins likely offsets softer conditions isolated to gas basins.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cLiberty\u2019s success is based on innovation, and today we are at the forefront of a generational shift in frac technology. During the first quarter, we deployed our first digiFleetSM<\/sup> comprising digiFracSM<\/sup> electric pumps with no disruption to completions operations. The crew quickly reached a milestone achievement of 1,291 minutes of pumping time in a day, or 90% of total available minutes,\u201d continued Mr. Wright. \u201cWith our revolutionary pump technology, built for purpose mobile power generation, and fuel supply, we are now seeing the early benefits of five years of innovation and integration coming to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cLiberty Power Innovations expands our vertical integration strategy alongside our sand, logistics, manufacturing and design capabilities. We launched LPI with the initial focus on compressed natural gas (CNG) and field gas processing services that support the secular demand shift towards natural gas as the primary fuel of choice. Dependable access to fuel is critical to maintaining highly efficient frac operations that drive Liberty\u2019s industry-leading performance and returns,\u201d continued Mr. Wright. \u201cWe are confident in our ability to generate strong returns, while balancing investment in the future and a strong capital return program.\u201d<\/p>\n Share Repurchase Program<\/b><\/p>\n \nDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Liberty repurchased and retired 5,166,730 shares of Class A common stock at $14.44 per share, representing 2.9% of shares outstanding, for approximately $75 million. Liberty has cumulatively repurchased and retired 7.1% of shares outstanding at program commencement on July 25, 2022. Total remaining authorization for future common share repurchases is approximately $300 million.<\/p>\n \nThe shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, through derivative transactions or by other means in accordance with 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\u2019s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company\u2019s common stock, the market price of the Company\u2019s common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company\u2019s debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed, 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, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and expected free cash flow to be generated through the authorization period.<\/p>\n Quarterly Cash Dividend<\/b><\/p>\n \nDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A common stock, or approximately $9 million in aggregate to shareholders.<\/p>\n \nOn April 18, 2023, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A common stock, to be paid on June 20, 2023 to holders of record as of June 6, 2023.<\/p>\n \nFuture declarations of quarterly cash dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and to the Board\u2019s continuing determination that the declarations of dividends are in the best interests of Liberty and its stockholders. Future dividends may be adjusted at the Board\u2019s discretion based on market conditions and capital availability.<\/p>\n First Quarter Results<\/b><\/p>\n \nFor the first quarter of 2023, revenue grew to $1.3 billion, an increase of 59% from $793 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 3% from $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n \nNet income1<\/sup> (after taxes) totaled $163 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $5 million in the first quarter of 2022 and income of $153 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA2<\/sup> of $330 million for the first quarter of 2023 increased 259% from $92 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 12% from $295 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Please refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to net income (a GAAP measure) in this earnings release.<\/p>\n \nFully diluted earnings per share of $0.90 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a loss per share of $0.03 for the first quarter of 2022 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.82 for the fourth quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n Balance Sheet and Liquidity<\/b><\/p>\n \nAs of March 31, 2023, Liberty had cash on hand of $21 million, a decrease from fourth quarter levels, and total debt of $210 million, drawn on the secured asset-based revolving credit facility (\u201cABL Facility\u201d). Total liquidity, including availability under the credit facility, was $308 million as of March 31, 2023.<\/p>\n \nIn January 2023, Liberty amended its ABL Facility to provide for a $100 million increase in aggregate commitments to $525 million. In conjunction with the credit facility amendment, Liberty retired its $105 million term loan due September 2024, with cash and ABL Facility availability.<\/p>\n Conference Call<\/b><\/p>\n \nLiberty will host a conference call to discuss the results at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Time (10:00 a.m. Eastern Time) on Thursday, April 20, 2023.

Please see the supplemental financial information in the table under \u201cReconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA\u201d at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nAdjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed (\u201cROCE\u201d) is a non-U.S. GAAP operational measure. Please see the supplemental financial information in the table under \u201cCalculation of Adjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed\u201d at the end of this earnings release for a calculation of this measure.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nS&P 500 excludes Financials and Real Estate constituents.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n This earnings release includes unaudited non-GAAP financial and operational measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and ROCE. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial and operational measures provides useful information about our financial performance and results of operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, new fleet or new basin start-up costs, fleet lay-down costs, costs of asset acquisitions, gain or loss on the disposal of assets, bad debt reserves, transaction, severance, and other costs, the loss or gain on remeasurement of liability under our tax receivable agreements, the gain on investments, and other non-recurring expenses that management does not consider in assessing ongoing performance.<\/i><\/p>\n Our board of directors, management, investors, and lenders use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation, depletion, and amortization) and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP.<\/i><\/p>\n We define Adjusted Pre-Tax Return on Capital Employed (\u201cROCE\u201d) as the ratio of pre-tax net income (adding back income tax and tax receivable agreement impacts) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to Average Capital Employed. Average Capital Employed is the simple average of total capital employed (both debt and equity) as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. ROCE is presented based on our management\u2019s belief that these non-GAAP measures are useful information to investors when evaluating our profitability and the efficiency with which management has employed capital over time. Our management uses ROCE for that purpose. ROCE is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP<\/i><\/p>\n Non-GAAP financial and operational measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial and operational measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See the tables entitled Reconciliation and Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial and Operational Measures for a reconciliation or calculation of the non-GAAP financial or operational measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.<\/i><\/p>\n Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements<\/b><\/p>\n The information above includes \u201cforward-looking statements\u201d within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

three-year cumulative pre-tax book loss driven primarily by Covid-19 which, applying the interpretive guidance to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 – Income Taxes, required the Company to recognize a valuation allowance against certain of the Company\u2019s deferred tax assets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company achieved three years of cumulative pre-tax income in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction, management determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the Company\u2019s net deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. For the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company recorded a release of the valuation allowance. In connection with both the recognition and release of a valuation allowance, the Company was also required to remeasure the liability under the tax receivable agreements.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(2)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nIn accordance with U.S. GAAP, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022 exclude weighted average shares of Class B common stock (38, and 2,092, respectively) and restricted stock units (0, and 4,745, respectively) outstanding during the period.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(3)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nNet capital expenditures presented above include investing cash flows from purchase of property and equipment, excluding acquisitions, net of proceeds from the sales of assets.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(4)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
