ProPetro Announces $100 Million Share Repurchase Program

ProPetro Holding Corp. ("ProPetro" or "the Company") (NYSE: PUMP) today announced approval by the Board of Directors of a $100 million share repurchase program.

"We are pleased to announce the approval of a share repurchase program by our Board," stated Sam Sledge, Chief Executive Officer. "This program aligns with our strategy to create value for our shareholders. Our strong first quarter earnings and three consecutive quarters of positive net income demonstrate significant financial improvements resulting from the execution of our strategy. We remain confident in the Company's current and future financial and operational performance, and we believe that our stock presents a unique investment opportunity due to the substantial discrepancy between our equity value and our strong financial performance. 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 explore additional methods of strategic capital allocation beyond the announced share repurchase program."

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $100 million of outstanding common stock through May 31, 2024. This authorization represents approximately 13% 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.
