The financial information, discussion and analysis that follow should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Form 10-K as well as the financial and other information included therein.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to the "Company," "we," "our," "us" or like terms refer to ProPetro Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a leading integrated energy service company, located in Midland, Texas, focused on providing innovative hydraulic fracturing, wireline and other complementary energy and power generation services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production ("E&P") of North American oil and natural gas resources. Our completions operations are primarily focused in the Permian Basin, where we have cultivated longstanding customer relationships with some of the region’s most active and well‑capitalized E&P companies. The Permian Basin is widely regarded as one of the most prolific oil‑producing areas in the United States, and we believe we are one of the leading providers of completion services in the region. Through our subsidiary, ProPetro Energy Solutions, LLC ("PROPWR"), we provide turnkey power generation services to oil and gas producers and non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers using mobile power generation equipment installed at customers’ sites.

Our completion services include our operating segments comprised of hydraulic fracturing, wireline and cementing operations. Our hydraulic fracturing operations account for approximately 67.0% of our total revenue for all segments as of June 30, 2026. Our total available hydraulic horsepower ("HHP") as of June 30, 2026, was 1,257,000 HHP, which was comprised of 447,500 HHP of our Tier IV DGB dual-fuel equipment, 312,000 HHP of FORCE® electric-powered equipment and 497,500 HHP of conventional Tier II equipment. Our hydraulic fracturing fleets range from approximately 50,000 to 80,000 HHP depending on the job design and customer demand at the wellsite. Our completions equipment has been designed to handle the operating conditions commonly encountered in the Permian Basin and the region’s increasingly high-intensity well completions (including simultaneous hydraulic fracturing ("Simul-Frac"), which involves fracturing multiple wellbores at the same time), which are characterized by longer horizontal wellbores, more stages per lateral and increasing amounts of proppant per well. With the industry transition to lower emissions equipment and Simul-Frac, in addition to several other changes to our customers' job designs, we believe that our available fleet capacity could decline if we decide to reconfigure our fleets to increase active HHP and backup HHP at wellsites. In 2021, we began to transition our fleet from traditional equipment to Tier IV DGB dual-fuel equipment. In 2022, we entered into three-year electric fleet leases which commenced in 2023 and 2024 for four FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets with 60,000 HHP per fleet and in 2024, we entered into an additional three-year lease for a fifth FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet with 72,000 HHP (collectively the "Electric Fleet Leases"). The equipment under these leases represents all of our FORCE® electric-powered equipment. We currently have 28 wireline units and 30 cementing units.

In December 2024, we formed PROPWR to provide power generation services and represent our Power Generation operating segment. This subsidiary began revenue-generating activities during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and has entered into contractual arrangements with equipment manufacturers to purchase mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment, including turbine generator sets, reciprocating engines, auxiliary equipment and battery energy storage solution equipment. We have received certain units of this equipment and anticipate all remaining ordered units will be delivered by late fiscal year 2028. As of July 30, 2026, we had total committed capacity of approximately 350 megawatts and total delivered or on-order generation capacity of approximately 1.1 gigawatts excluding equipment not yet ordered under the global framework agreement with Caterpillar Inc. described in "Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies." Our total delivered or on-order power generation equipment is split approximately 80% and 20% between high-efficiency reciprocating engine generators and low emissions modular turbines, respectively. We continue to actively negotiate additional contracts amid increasing demand for power solutions and to explore various financing alternatives for our power equipment.

We primarily provide hydraulic fracturing, wireline and cementing completion services to E&P companies in the Permian Basin and power generation services to oil and gas producers and non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers. We compete against different companies in each service and product line we offer. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. To be successful, an energy services company must provide services and equipment that meet the specific needs of oil and natural gas E&P companies at competitive prices. Competitive factors impacting sales of our services are price, reputation, technical expertise, emissions profile, service and equipment design quality, and health and safety standards. Although we believe our customers consider all of these factors, we believe price is a key factor in E&P companies' criteria in choosing a service provider. However, we have recently observed the energy industry and our customers shift to lower emissions equipment, which we believe will be an increasingly important factor in an E&P company's selection of a service provider. The transition to lower emissions equipment has been challenging for companies in the energy service industry because of the capital requirements, lack of large scale deployment of certain new technology such as electric-powered

-33-

equipment, and the pricing of our services and expected return on invested capital. While we seek to price our services competitively, we believe many of our customers elect to work with us based on our operational efficiencies, productivity, equipment quality and technology, reliability, ability to manage multifaceted logistics challenges, commitment to safety and the ability of our people to handle the most complex Permian Basin well completions and power generation challenges.

We believe that our substantial market presence in the Permian Basin positions us well to capitalize on drilling and completion activity and power demand in the region. Primarily, our operational focus has been in the Permian Basin's Midland sub-basin, where our customers have operated. However, we have increased our operations in the Delaware sub-basin and are well-positioned to support further increases to our activity in this area in response to demand from our customers. Over time, we expect the Permian Basin's Midland and Delaware sub-basins to continue to command a disproportionate share of future North American E&P spending.

Additionally, we believe the significant natural gas production in the Permian Basin will become a natural market for power-intensive businesses including data centers and other industrial businesses seeking alternative solutions for reliable and available electricity requirements which are not dependent on grid or public utility limitations.

Our Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline, Cementing and Power Generation operating segments meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, our Power Generation segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment. Accordingly, it was shown in the "All Other" category. Effective as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, Power Generation is shown as a reportable segment since it meets the criteria of a reportable segment. Additionally, our corporate administrative activities do not involve business activities from which they may earn revenues. As a result, corporate administrative expenses and intersegment revenue have been included under "Reconciling Items." Corporate administrative expenses are included in the reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA below. Prior period segment information has been revised to conform to our current presentation. For additional financial information on our reportable segments presentation, see "Note 6 - Reportable Segment Information."

Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition

On December 31, 2018, we consummated the purchase of certain pressure pumping assets and real property from Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer") and Pioneer Pumping Services, LLC (the "Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition") in exchange for 16.6 million shares of our common stock and $110.0 million in cash. In May 2024, Pioneer merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation ("ExxonMobil") after which ExxonMobil became the owner of these shares until ExxonMobil's sale of these shares in May 2026. The Company currently provides pressure pumping, wireline and other services to ExxonMobil and previously provided such services to Pioneer.

On April 22, 2024, we entered into a sub-agreement for Hydraulic Fracturing Services with XTO Energy Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil ("XTO"), pursuant to which we will provide hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumpdown services with two committed FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets and the option to add a third FORCE® fleet (also with wireline and pumpdown services) for a certain number of contracted hours with respect to each fleet, subject to certain termination and release rights. We expect this agreement will expire in late 2026. At this time, we do not expect such agreement to be renewed or extended and, if we are not able to procure additional work from XTO, we will be required to redeploy the equipment associated with the affected fleets with other customers. Our inability to redeploy our equipment at similar utilization or pricing levels and such loss could have an adverse effect on our business until the equipment is redeployed at similar utilization or pricing levels. We continue to actively negotiate with other customers and potential customers to redeploy this equipment.

Commodity Price and Other Economic Conditions

The oil and gas industry has traditionally been volatile and is characterized by a combination of long-term, short-term and cyclical trends, including domestic and international supply and demand for oil and gas, current and expected future prices for oil and gas and the perceived stability and sustainability of those prices, and capital investments of E&P companies toward their development and production of oil and gas reserves. The oil and gas industry is also impacted by general domestic and international economic conditions such as supply chain disruptions and inflation, war and political instability in oil producing countries, government regulations (both in the United States and internationally), levels of consumer demand, adverse weather conditions, and other factors that are beyond our control.

The geopolitical and macroeconomic consequences of the war between Israel, Iran and the United States have contributed to significant volatility in crude oil prices, with the spot price per barrel of the West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil price increasing to approximately $91 per barrel on average in March 2026 before decreasing to approximately $84 per barrel on average in June 2026 compared to approximately $58 per barre

Overview

Our Business

We are a leading integrated energy service company, located in Midland, Texas, focused on providing innovative hydraulic fracturing, wireline and other complementary energy and power generation services to leading upstream oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration and production (“E&P”) of North American oil and natural gas resources. Our operations are primarily focused in the Permian Basin, where we have cultivated longstanding customer relationships with some of the region’s most active and well‑capitalized E&P companies. The Permian Basin is widely regarded as one of the most prolific oil‑producing areas in the United States, and we believe we are one of the leading providers of completion services in the region.

Our completion services includes our operating segments comprised of hydraulic fracturing, wireline and cementing operations. Our hydraulic fracturing operations account for approximately 73.2% of our total revenues and operations. Our total available hydraulic horsepower (“HHP”) at December 31, 2025, was 1,259,500 HHP, which was comprised of 445,000 HHP of our Tier IV Dynamic Gas Blending (“DGB”) dual-fuel equipment, 312,000 HHP of FORCE® electric-powered equipment and 502,500 HHP of conventional Tier II equipment. Our hydraulic fracturing fleets range from approximately 50,000 to 80,000 HHP depending on the job design and customer demand at the wellsite. Our equipment has been designed to handle the operating conditions commonly encountered in the Permian Basin and the region’s increasingly high-intensity well completions (including simultaneous hydraulic fracturing ("Simul-Frac"), which involves fracturing multiple wellbores at the same time), which are characterized by longer horizontal wellbores, more stages per lateral and increasing amounts of proppant per well. With the industry transition to lower emissions equipment and Simul-Frac, in addition to several other changes to our customers' job designs, we believe that our available fleet capacity could decline if we decide to reconfigure our fleets to increase active HHP and backup HHP at wellsites. In 2021, we began to transition our fleet from traditional equipment to Tier IV DGB dual-fuel equipment. In 2022, we entered into three-year electric fleet leases which commenced in 2023 and 2024 for four FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets worth of equipment with 60,000 HHP per fleet and in 2024, we entered into an additional three-year lease for one more FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleet worth of equipment with 72,000 HHP (collectively the “Electric Fleet Leases”). As of December 31, 2025, we have received 312,000 HHP of FORCE® electric-powered equipment representing five fleets worth of equipment.

In December 2024, we formed a new subsidiary, ProPetro Energy Solutions, LLC, (“PROPWR”), which provides turnkey power generation services to oil and gas producers and non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers using mobile power generation equipment installed at customers’ sites. This subsidiary began revenue-generating activities during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and has entered into contractual arrangements with equipment manufacturers to purchase mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment, including turbine generator sets, reciprocating engines, auxiliary equipment and battery energy storage solution equipment. As of February 19, 2026 we had total committed capacity of approximately 240 megawatts and total delivered or on-order generation capacity of approximately 550 megawatts, split approximately 70% and 30% between high-efficiency reciprocating engine generators and low emissions modular turbines, respectively. We anticipate all ordered units will be delivered by year-end 2027. We continue to actively

negotiate additional contracts amid increasing demand for power solutions and to explore various financing alternatives for our power equipment.

On November 1, 2024, we sold our cementing business located in Vernal, Utah, to a business owned by a former employee as part of a strategic repositioning. We received a promissory note for $13.0 million as consideration, and recorded a gain on disposal of $8.2 million related to the sale of the business. The note receivable was secured by substantially all assets of the divested operations and the former employee’s ownership interests in and distributions from the business. The note receivable was to be paid to the Company in quarterly installments with interest of 10% per annum from March 31, 2025, to December 31, 2029, but was fully repaid with interest in December 2025. The former employee was part of our cementing operations until November 1, 2024, and is no longer affiliated with the Company.

On May 31, 2024, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in Aqua Prop, LLC (“AquaProp”), which provides wet sand solutions for hydraulic fracturing sand requirements at oil well sites (the “AquaProp Acquisition”). The cash consideration for the AquaProp Acquisition includes $13.7 million paid to the seller, $7.2 million paid to settle the seller’s outstanding debt, and $0.3 million paid for the seller’s transaction expenses. As a result of the AquaProp Acquisition, we expanded our operations into the wet sand service business unit.

On December 1, 2023, we consummated the purchase of the assets and operations of Par Five Energy Services LLC (“Par Five”), which provides cementing services in the Delaware Basin, in exchange for $25.4 million of cash, including deferred cash consideration of $3.1 million which is payable to Par Five or its beneficiary on June 1, 2025, with interest of 4.0% per annum (the “Par Five Acquisition”). The Par Five Acquisition complemented our existing cementing business and enabled us to serve both the Midland and Delaware sub-basins of the Permian Basin.

We believe that our substantial market presence in the Permian Basin positions us well to capitalize on drilling and completion activity in the region. Primarily, our operational focus has been in the Permian Basin's Midland sub-basin, where our customers have operated. However, we have increased our operations in the Delaware sub-basin and are well-positioned to support further increases to our activity in this area in response to demand from our customers. Over time, we expect the Permian Basin's Midland and Delaware sub-basins to continue to command a disproportionate share of future North American E&P spending.

As of December 31, 2025, we conducted our business through four operating segments: Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline, Cementing and Power Generation, all of which meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, our Power Generation segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, our Cementing segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment. Accordingly, they were shown in the “All Other” category. Effective as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, Power Generation and Cementing, respectively, are shown as reportable segments since they meet the criteria of a reportable segment. Additionally, our corporate administrative activities do not involve business activities from which it may earn revenues and its results are not regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) when making key operating and resource decisions. As a result, corporate administrative expenses have been included under “Reconciling Items.” For additional financial information on our reportable segments presentation, please see reportable segment information in Part II - Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition

On December 31, 2018, we consummated the purchase of certain pressure pumping assets and real property from Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (“Pioneer”) and Pioneer Pumping Services, LLC in the Pioneer Pressure Pumping Acquisition in exchange for 16.6 million shares of our common stock and $110.0 million in cash. In May 2024, Pioneer merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil after which ExxonMobil became the owner of these shares. The Company currently provides pressure pumping, wireline and other services to ExxonMobil and previously provided such services to Pioneer.

On April 22, 2024, we entered into a sub-agreement for hydraulic fracturing services with XTO, a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil, pursuant to which we will provide hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumpdown services with two committed FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets and the option to add a third FORCE® fleet (also with wireline and pumpdown services) for a certain number of contracted hours with respect to each fleet, subject to certain termination and release rights. This agreement will expire in approximately late 2026. At this time, we do not expect such agreement to be renewed or extended and, if we are not able to procure additional work from XTO, we will be required to redeploy the equipment associated with the affected fleets with other customers.
