Aris Water Solutions, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ARIS) (“Aris”, “Aris Water” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Total water volumes of approximately 1.4 million barrels per day for the first quarter of 2023, up 18% versus the first quarter of 2022 and up 5% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.
Produced Water volumes of approximately 971 thousand barrels per day for the first quarter of 2023, up 21% versus the first quarter of 2022 and up 3% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.
Water Solutions volumes of approximately 405 thousand barrels per day in the first quarter of 2023, up 11% versus the first quarter of 2022 and up 11% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net income of $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, up from a net loss of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 and up 42% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted Net Income¹ of $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, down 2% versus the first quarter of 2022 and up 9% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $38.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, up 6% versus the first quarter of 2022 and up 6% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.
Aris reaffirms its full year 2023 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA of $150 million - $170 million and capital expenditures of $140 million - $155 million.

“The year is off to a strong start. We continued to grow both produced water and water solutions volumes while also making substantive progress across a number of our operational and financial initiatives. Our focus on improving skim oil recovery rates, as well as our initiative to reduce working capital, have already had an immediate impact on the bottom line. Other ongoing cost savings initiatives, including electrification of field infrastructure, remain on track, and, as previously indicated, are expected to deliver incremental margin improvement in the second half of the year. The first quarter also benefited from lower SG&A expense, as a portion of budgeted expense was deferred until later in the year. While we still have much more progress to make, we are encouraged by these early proof points and we remain confident that we will deliver on our 2023 operating and financial plan,” stated Amanda Brock, Chief Executive Officer of Aris.

“We continue to make progress on our beneficial reuse pilot project, working alongside Chevron, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil to evaluate and develop proprietary processes for cost effective beneficial reuse, as well as other water sustainability initiatives in the Permian Basin. Contemporaneously with this pilot project, Aris is identifying viable commercial applications for the use of treated produced water. We look forward to sharing further progress with our investors in the coming quarters.”

OPERATIONS UPDATE

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company handled approximately 1.4 million barrels of water per day of total volumes, up approximately 18% from 1.2 million barrels of water per day for the first quarter of 2022 and up approximately 5% sequentially from 1.3 million barrels of water per day for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Skim oil recoveries were 1,348 barrels per day, or approximately 0.14% of produced water volumes, up 62% versus the first quarter of 2022 and up 74% from the fourth quarter of 2022 as operational changes allowed for the recovery of additional skim oil volumes which were not recovered in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Recycled Produced Water volumes were approximately 258 thousand barrels of water per day for the first quarter of 2023, down approximately 5% from 273 thousand barrels of water per day for the first quarter of 2022, and down approximately 9% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.

Groundwater volumes were approximately 147 thousand barrels of water per day for the first quarter of 2023, up approximately 123% from 66 thousand barrels of water per day for the first quarter of 2022, and up approximately 79% sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2022.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Net income was $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 versus a net loss of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 and net income of $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted Net Income¹was $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 versus $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $38.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 versus $35.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, up approximately 6%, and $36.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, up approximately 6%.

The Company had gross margin per barrel of $0.24 per barrel for the first quarter of 2023 versus $0.26 per barrel in the first quarter of 2022 and $0.22 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company had Adjusted Operating Margin per barrel² of $0.39 per barrel for the first quarter of 2023, versus $0.42 per barrel in the first quarter of 2022 and $0.37 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Operating Margins continue to be negatively impacted by inflationary cost pressures, inefficiencies in water sourcing related to the rapid expansion of our reuse operations, supply chain delays for permanent equipment, and delays in connecting to line power requiring increased diesel fuel and rental equipment.

First quarter 2023 capital expenditures totaled approximately $48 million versus $26 million in the first quarter of 2022.

STRONG BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $25.5 million in cash and an available revolving credit facility of approximately $159.0 million for a total available liquidity of approximately $184.5 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s leverage ratio was 2.7X, which was below the midpoint of our target leverage range of 2.5X-3.5X.³ Accounts Receivable balance of approximately $101 million was down approximately $27 million from year end 2022 while revenue grew 11% quarter-over-quarter.

SECOND QUARTER 2023 DIVIDEND

On May 8, 2023, Aris’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on its Class A common stock for the second 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 June 29, 2023, to holders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the close of business on June 16, 2023. The distribution to unit holders of Solaris Midstream Holdings, LLC will be subject to the same payment and record dates.

SECOND QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

“In the second quarter, we expect produced water volumes to continue to grow sequentially versus the first quarter. We also expect changes in customer mix and CPI-linked contract escalators to drive higher produced water revenue as compared to the first quarter,” said Amanda Brock. “Water Solutions volumes are expected to be down slightly as some contracted volumes scheduled for the second quarter pulled forward into the first quarter. We are forecasting skim oil recovery levels to normalize at approximately 0.1% of produced water inlet volumes, higher than a year ago but below the first quarter results, which we believe included volumes not collected in the fourth quarter of 2022. We also anticipate increased well maintenance costs in the second quarter relative to the first quarter. We remain very focused on enhancing profitability through continued execution of our ongoing optimization efforts, and expect to see the impact of these efforts in the second half of the year.”

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company expects:
- Produced Water Handling Volumes of between 995 and 1,005 thousand barrels of water per day
- Water Solutions Volumes of between 365 and 375 thousand barrels of water per day
- Adjusted Operating Margins between $0.36 and $0.38 per barrel of Total Volumes⁴
- Skim oil recoveries of 0.10% of inlet produced water handling volumes at an average realized price of $68 per barrel, net of taxes and marketing costs
- Adjusted EBITDA between $35.0 and $37.0 million⁴
- Capital Expenditures between $55.0 and $65.0 million⁵

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, and Adjusted Net Income. 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 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 and temporary power costs. 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) Attributable to Stockholders’ Equity 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) Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Stockholder’s Equity 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 March 31, 2023, the Company calculates its leverage ratio as net debt as of March 31, 2023, divided by annualized 1Q 2023 Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as the principal amount of total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2023, less cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 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.
