HOUSTON, February 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) ("Solaris" or the "Company"), today announced significant continued momentum within its business, along with fourth quarter 2024 financial and operational results.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Summary Results and Key Business Updates
Revenue – Revenue of $96 million increased 28% sequentially from the third quarter 2024 due to a full quarter of contribution from Solaris Power Solutions following the closing of the acquisition of Mobile Energy Rentals LLC ("MER," and such acquisition, the "MER Acquisition") on September 11, 2024, as well as continued activity growth within Solaris Power Solutions.
Profitability
Net income of $14 million and $0.19 per diluted Class A share; Adjusted pro forma net income(1) of $7 million and $0.12 per fully diluted share
Total Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $37 million
Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures – Net cash from operating activities was $13 million in the fourth quarter 2024, and capital expenditures were approximately $127 million, which primarily consisted of progress and delivery payments for power equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $115 million.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity – As of December 31, 2024, Solaris had $325 million in outstanding borrowings and $160 million in total cash, of which $46 million was restricted for certain growth capital expenditures. The year-end cash balance reflected the impact from the net proceeds of approximately $156 million from an underwritten public offering of 6.5 million shares of Class A common stock on December 11, 2024.
Power Solutions Growth Update – Recently secured an additional 700 megawatts ("MW") of gas-powered turbines with majority of deliveries expected to occur throughout 2026, bringing Solaris' pro forma operated power fleet to approximately 1,400 MW by the first half of 2027. Total expected capital expenditures, including allowance for balance-of-plant and emissions control technology, associated with these orders(4) are estimated to be approximately $600 million.
Establishing Long-term Partnership with Key Customer – New commercial contract for a minimum of 500 MW for an initial term of six years to support construction of a new data center; finalizing 50.1% / 49.9% Joint Venture with customer to co-own the power plant equipment for this data center
Guidance Update – The Company expects first quarter 2025 Total Adjusted EBITDA to be between $44 and $48 million and second quarter Total Adjusted EBITDA to be between $50 and $55 million(1)(2)
Shareholder Returns – Approved first quarter 2025 dividend of $0.12 per share on February 18, 2025, to be paid on March 21, 2025, to holders of record as of March 11, 2025, which, once paid, will represent Solaris' 26th consecutive dividend and, combined with share repurchases, will result in a total of $198 million cumulatively returned to shareholders.
CEO Commentary
"The fourth quarter of 2024 was our first complete quarter operating our new Solaris Power Solutions segment and the team continues to execute well on our strategy of using the stable cash flow from our Solaris Logistics Solutions business to help fund the tremendous growth opportunity for behind-the-meter power deployments across a variety of end markets," commented Bill Zartler, Solaris' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see an acceleration of demand for behind-the-meter projects and, to support this growth, we have secured approximately 700 megawatts of new power generation capacity, which will effectively double our operated fleet over the next two years. This additional capacity will allow us both to service growth from our current customer base as well as to continue to expand our offering with new customers."
"The Solaris Logistics Solutions segment has demonstrated a strong rebound in activity early in 2025 relative to the seasonal softness experienced in the fourth quarter. The increase in activity is due to continued market adoption of multiple types of Solaris systems on an increased number of well sites and a reset of completion budgets."
"We are excited with recent results from both business segments, the growing opportunity set we are seeing in the distributed power space, and the exceptional team and innovative culture that we continue to build. We believe we will continue to drive total shareholder value by growing the company, continuing to pay our dividend, and maintaining a balanced and attractive financial profile."
Segment Results and Outlook (3)(4)
Solaris Power Solutions
Fourth Quarter 2024 Activity – Averaged approximately 260 MW of capacity earning revenue.
First and Second Quarter 2025 Activity (2) – Revenue generating capacity is expected to grow to an average of 360 MW and 420 MW in first and second quarters of 2025, respectively.
Revenue – Fourth quarter 2024 revenue of $34 million is expected to grow sequentially with MW capacity earning revenue.
Profitability – Fourth quarter 2024 Segment Adjusted EBITDA (1)(3) of $24 million is expected to grow sequentially with owned MW growth, with additional smaller contribution earned from the portion of revenue generated from third-party leased MW.
Solaris Logistics Solutions
Fourth Quarter 2024 Activity – 78 fully utilized systems, down 15% sequentially from third quarter 2024.
First and Second Quarter 2025 Expected Activity (2) – Approximately 90 to 95 fully utilized systems, which reflects over 15% improvement from fourth quarter 2024.
Revenue – Fourth quarter 2024 revenue of $62 million decreased 11% from third quarter 2024, in line with the seasonal decline in fully utilized systems and is expected to grow in line with system growth in first quarter 2025.
Profitability – Fourth quarter 2024 Segment Adjusted EBITDA (1)(3) of $19 million decreased 22% from third quarter 2024 and reflected negative cost absorption due to the decline in fully utilized system count.

About Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), this news release presents non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted pro forma net income and Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because they reflect the core operating results of our businesses and help facilitate comparisons of operating performance across periods. Although management believes the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Solaris' overall financial performance, the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

SOLARIS ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, INC
SEGMENT REPORTING
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
Prior to the MER Acquisition, we operated in a single segment which reflected how our business was managed and the nature of our services. Following the acquisition, we re-evaluated our reportable segments and now report two distinct business segments. These segments offer different services and align with how our chief operating decision maker assesses operating performance and allocates resources.
Our reporting segments are:
Solaris Logistics Solutions – designs and manufactures specialized equipment that enables the efficient management of raw materials used in the completion of oil and natural gas wells. Solaris' equipment-based logistics services including field technician support, software solutions, and may also include last mile and mobilization services.
Solaris Power Solutions – provides configurable sets of natural gas-powered mobile turbines and ancillary equipment. This segment primarily leases equipment to data center and energy customers and is focused on continuing to grow its services with these customers as well as across multiple commercial and industrial end-markets.
We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, and certain non-cash items and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.
Summarized financial information by business segment is shown below. The financial information by business segment for prior periods has been restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments.

SOLARIS ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, INC
RECONCILIATION AND CALCULATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL MEASURES
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We use them to assess our results of operations because it allows us, our investors and our lenders to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of varying levels of interest expense due to our capital structure, depreciation and amortization due to our asset base and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding trends and other factors affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").
We define EBITDA as net income, plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash items and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results of operation and financial condition as reported in accordance with GAAP. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA.

ADJUSTED PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER FULLY DILUTED SHARE
Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Solaris assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests in Solaris LLC not held by Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company doesn't believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of ongoing business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding units of Solaris LLC ("Solaris LLC Units"), after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Solaris as a result of increases in its ownership of Solaris LLC, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Solaris. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Solaris, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are set forth below.
