Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10Q (this “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “guidance,” “preliminary,” “project,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “believe,” “forecast,” “future,” “potential,” “should,” “may,” “possible,” “could” and variations of such words or similar expressions.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “2022 Annual Report”) and found elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including, but not limited to, the following:

the impact of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts on the global economy, including their impacts on financial markets and the energy industry;
the impacts of cost inflation on our operating margins and capital costs;
the impact of current and future laws, rulings and federal and state governmental regulations, including those related to hydraulic fracturing, accessing water, handling of produced water, carbon pricing, taxation of emissions, seismic activity, drilling and right-of-way access on governmental lands, and various other matters;
our reliance on a limited number of customers and a particular region for substantially all of our revenues;
the level of capital spending and development by oil and gas companies, including potential reductions in capital expenditures by oil and gas producers in response to commodity price volatility and/or reduced demand;
our ability to renew or replace expiring contracts on acceptable terms;
our customers’ ability to complete and produce new wells;
risks related to acquisitions and organic growth projects, including our ability to realize their expected benefits;
capacity constraints on regional oil, natural gas and water gathering, processing and pipeline systems that result in a slowdown or delay in drilling and completion activity, and thus a slowdown or delay in the demand for our services;
our ability to retain key management and employees and to hire and retain skilled labor;
our health, safety and environmental performance;

the impact of competition on our operations;
the degree to which our customers may elect to operate their water-management services in-house rather than outsource these services to companies like us;
delays or restrictions in obtaining, utilizing or maintaining permits and/or rights-of-way by us or our customers;
constraints in supply or availability of equipment used in our business;
changes in global political or economic conditions, both generally, and in the specific markets we serve, such as an economic slowdown or recession, concern over a potential recession, or increased uncertainty regarding the economic outlook;
physical, electronic and cybersecurity breaches; and
the other risks described in our 2022 Annual Report filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Many of the factors that will determine our future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report or in our 2022 Annual Report occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that we may make from time to time except as required by applicable law.
