Aris Water Solutions, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ARIS) (“Aris,” “Aris Water” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

  • Total water volumes of approximately 1.5 million barrels per day for the second quarter of 2023, up 21% versus the second quarter of 2022 and up 9% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.
  • Produced Water volumes of approximately 1,045 thousand barrels per day for the second quarter of 2023, up 24% versus the second quarter of 2022 and up 8% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.
  • Water Solutions volumes of approximately 452 thousand barrels per day for the second quarter of 2023, up 13% versus the second quarter of 2022 and up 12% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.
  • Net income of $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 158% versus the second quarter of 2022 and up 35% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted Net Income1 of $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 11% versus the second quarter of 2022 and up 34% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $42.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, up 14% versus the second quarter of 2022 and up 12% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.
  • Aris is revising its 2023 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA upward from $150 million - $170 million to $160 million - $170 million given its solid execution and stronger than anticipated first half volumes.
  • Our contracted customers remain active drilling and completing wells across our acreage dedications. To support additional customer activity planned for late 2023 and 2024, we are raising our guidance for 2023 capital expenditures from $140 million - $155 million to $160 million - $170 million.

“We delivered a strong second quarter, achieving both 21% volume growth and improved profitability as we continue to execute ahead of schedule on our business plan and realize previously identified cost reductions,” said Amanda Brock, Chief Executive Officer of Aris.

“The entire Aris team is performing extremely well in identifying additional opportunities to expand our infrastructure network, optimize our operating costs, and improve our cash management activities. We are appreciative of our team’s continued focus and effort.

The second quarter also benefited from a few one-time events, including the receipt of deficiency payments under our minimum volume commitments that drove higher margins, the delay of certain maintenance expenses into the third quarter due to supply chain constraints, and lower than anticipated general & administrative expenses. As a result, we expect third quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 to be relatively flat sequentially. However, we expect to see our volumes increase and Adjusted EBITDA1 grow over second quarter levels in the fourth quarter.

The quality of our customers, well economics, and undrilled inventory on our contracted acreage continues to provide Aris with compelling support for steady growth. Some of our large customers have recently indicated they are increasing production more than previously forecasted in our contracted acreage, particularly in our core Northern Delaware Basin system. As we continue to expand our infrastructure network to capture these opportunities, our additional 2023 capital investments will, in turn, increase our volumes, revenue, and EBITDA in coming years.

Aris is beginning to actively test promising beneficial re-use treatment technologies in the field and looks forward to the progress of its pilot programs over the next several quarters. We continue working with regulators, our customers, and different industries in identifying opportunities to use treated produced water. Additionally, we earned Hart Energy’s 2023 ESG Award for public midstream companies earlier this quarter, which recognizes the impact we have made on water sustainability in the Permian Basin.

We are also pleased to announce that Dr. Eric Hoek will be joining us as an advisor to focus specifically on the recovery and commercialization of high-value materials in our brine stream. Dr. Hoek, an engineering professor at UCLA and a faculty scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is a globally recognized leader in developing and commercializing water technologies and will be a valuable addition to our team.”

OPERATIONS UPDATE

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company handled approximately 1.5 million barrels of total water volumes per day, up approximately 21% from 1.2 million barrels of water per day for the second quarter of 2022 and up approximately 9% sequentially from 1.4 million barrels of water per day for the first quarter of 2023. Skim oil recoveries were 1,042 barrels per day, or approximately 0.1% of produced water volumes, in-line with expectations.

Recycled Produced Water volumes were approximately 296 thousand barrels of water per day for the second quarter of 2023, approximately flat from 297 thousand barrels of water per day for the second quarter of 2022, and up approximately 15% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.

Groundwater volumes were approximately 156 thousand barrels of water per day for the second quarter of 2023, up approximately 50% from 104 thousand barrels of water per day for the second quarter of 2022, and up approximately 6% sequentially versus the first quarter of 2023.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Net income was $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 versus net income of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and net income of $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted Net Income1 was $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 versus $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $42.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, up approximately 14% from $37.2 million in the second quarter of 2022, and up approximately 12% from $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.

The Company had gross margin per barrel of $0.24 per barrel for the second quarter of 2023 versus $0.26 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.24 per barrel for the first quarter of 2023. The Company had Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel2 of $0.38 per Barrel for the second quarter of 2023, versus $0.41 in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.39 for the first quarter of 2023.

Second quarter 2023 capital expenditures3 totaled approximately $49 million versus $52 million in the second quarter of 2022.

STRONG BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $4 million in cash and an available revolving credit facility of approximately $171 million for a total available liquidity of approximately $175 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s leverage ratio was 2.49X, which was slightly below the low end of our target leverage range of 2.50X-3.50X.4 Accounts Receivable balance of approximately $94 million was down approximately 7% from the first quarter while revenue grew 6% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting continued improvements in working capital management.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 DIVIDEND

On August 2, 2023, Aris’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on its Class A common stock for the third 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 September 28, 2023, to holders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the close of business on September 14, 2023. The distribution to unit holders of Solaris Midstream Holdings, LLC will be subject to the same payment and record dates.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 AND REVISED FULL YEAR 2023 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

“Our volumes have grown steadily, exceeding our expectations in the first half of the year. In the third quarter, we expect produced water and water solutions volumes to be flat to slightly down sequentially, reflecting the timing of completions across our acreage, as we expect third quarter completions to be weighted toward the second half of the quarter. We anticipate a strong finish to the year as fourth quarter produced water volumes are forecasted to exceed those realized in the second quarter,” said Amanda Brock. “We continue to forecast skim oil recovery at normalized levels of approximately 0.10% of produced water inlet volumes, consistent with the second quarter. We expect our CPI linked inflation clauses and cost reduction initiatives to further benefit margins in the second half of the year, partially offset by deferred well maintenance costs and the non-recurrence of margin benefits from minimum volume commitment deficiencies recognized in the second quarter.”

  • For the third quarter of 2023, the Company expects:
    • Produced Water Handling volumes between 1,020 and 1,030 thousand barrels of water per day
    • Water Solutions volumes between 375 and 390 thousand barrels of water per day
    • Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel2 between $0.38 and $0.41
    • Skim oil recoveries of 0.10% of inlet produced water handling volumes at an average WTI price of $74 per barrel
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 between $39 and $42 million
  • For the full year of 2023, Aris is updating its previously provided guidance to reflect higher than anticipated volume growth through the first half of 2023 as well as additional capital investment to accommodate further growth anticipated in late 2023 and early 2024
  • For the full year of 2023, the Company now expects:
    • Produced Water Handling volumes between 1,020 and 1,030 thousand barrels of water per day
    • Water Solutions volumes between 400 and 410 thousand barrels of water per day
    • Adjusted Operating Margin per Barrel2 between $0.39 and $0.40
    • Skim oil recoveries of 0.10% of inlet produced water handling volumes at an average WTI price of $74 per barrel
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 between $160 and $170 million, revised from prior outlook of $150 to $170 million
    • Capital Expenditures between $160 and $170 million3, revised from prior outlook of $140 to $155 million
      • Incremental capital expenditures to the prior outlook include:
        • Approximately $10 million of growth capital to accommodate increased forecasted volumes from contracted customers
        • Approximately $5 million of increased maintenance capital due to additional asset upgrades

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, litigation expenses 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. 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 June 30, 2023, the Company calculates its leverage ratio as net debt as of June 30, 2023, divided by annualized 2Q 2023 Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as the principal amount of total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023, less cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 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.
